Chapter 81: Chapter 76 It Thinks You’re Useless (Please Subscribe and Vote for Monthly Ticket)_1

After Lu Yue left, Feng Yi took out the stockpiled goods from the supermarket and made something to eat for himself.

Going to the celebration venue for a free meal and being able to eat all day, trying cuisines from around the world, was quite nice.

However, the anniversary celebration of Qianli Group was a trivial matter for Feng Yi.

Since returning from the science examination, he had been eating and sleeping a lot. Although he felt recovered, Feng Yi could sense that his body had undergone some changes again.

He could only perceive that some changes had taken place, but what specific changes occurred, he could not clearly feel.

He didn’t know if it was good or bad.

Feng Yi took out his phone and consulted a doctor online.

Considering the last time he was diagnosed with schizophrenia online, he switched platforms this time.

Search—

[In his twenties, otherwise normal, but what could cause excessive eating and sleeping?]

He quickly received a reply:

[Hello, excessive eating and sleeping are common during pregnancy...]

Feng Yi: "..."

Damn!!!

But seeing the question he had input just now, Feng Yi understood he hadn’t been careful enough, so he re-entered—

[Male, in his twenties, otherwise normal, what could cause excessive eating and sleeping?]

Reply:

[Insufficient cerebral blood supply, qi and blood deficiency...]

Feng Yi looked at this reply with a heavy heart.

Insufficient cerebral blood supply, huh...

Could it affect my IQ?

This issue is way too serious!

He dared not inquire more online with details he couldn’t ascertain, especially when he felt the situation was severe, it was time to contact the always-ready butler!

After finishing his meal and ensuring his body had enough energy supply, Feng Yi immediately called the butler.

As usual, the butler, always ready, picked up the call promptly without letting Feng Yi wait too long.

Feng Yi briefly described his science examination experience, emphasizing the prolonged hunger and the changes he felt in his body.

Before joining the science examination team, Feng Yi had never expected to go hungry like this. He had imagined that after a big meal followed by joining the team and with supply points along the journey, snacking on compressed biscuits, and stealthily eating wild fruits in the mountains, he would manage to survive.

Reality gave him a cruel slap in the face!

He had never experienced such prolonged hunger in his life!

It was as if every organ and cell in his body was urging him to quickly find something to replenish his energy, or else they would all go on strike!

Now he was concerned that being in the process of evolution, such prolonged hunger could lead to adverse changes in his body.

After listening, the butler asked him, "Have there been any changes in your appearance, like your pupils?"

"No change. I don’t seem to have any changes, just that I don’t tan easily," Feng Yi replied.

The butler noticeably breathed a sigh of relief.

Feng Yi: "..."

Butler: "No loss of control, no fainting, consciousness clear, actions unimpaired, then there shouldn’t be much of an issue."

Feng Yi already knew he was clear-headed and unimpaired. He was even climbing trees smoothly, as if he had a natural advantage that made it easier than before. His actions were definitely not a problem, it was just...

"Sometimes it feels like my brain can’t keep up."

Butler: "... Perhaps you’re just tired."

Feng Yi: "That’s what I think too."

After a moment of silence, the butler said, "However, based on what you described, let me speculate. Your body will definitely change due to prolonged hunger. You should feel that you are in the process of evolution. Any event can affect your evolution.

"This is also why I haven’t interfered too much. Your evolution adapts based on your survival needs. But during this period, your prolonged hunger might cause the body to autonomously make certain adjustments."

"Such as?" Feng Yi asked.

"For example, venom. Your body might think it’s at a disadvantage, and to increase competitiveness for survival and hunting success, your toxicity might become stronger," the butler replied.

Feng Yi understood the essence of the butler’s words:

My body thinks I’m too useless, with a weak constitution, likely to die of hunger, so there might have been a boost in toxicity to enhance my hunting success rate.

Besides the venom, his night vision might also have been enhanced. It was up to Feng Yi to verify for himself.

The butler continued, "This is just my guess. You’ll have to figure out the specifics yourself. Moreover, if these changes were caused by prolonged hunger, they might still be ongoing and unstable, so you need to be cautious.

"Also, since you spent nearly two months in the wilds, that’s a long time, and your body might have adapted to that environment. Now that you are back in the city, your body needs time to adjust. During this period, there might be some... what’s the word for it, oh! Stress responses!"

"Stress responses?" Feng Yi was puzzled.

"That is, easily stimulated into a stress state, with increased vitality, and the biochemical system undergoing rapid and intense changes.

"Your stress response is definitely different from that of most people, it won’t necessarily be obvious, you might even fail to notice it yourself. So you’ll still need to be aware of it during this time, respond promptly to any conditions you discover. If there are other changes you feel unable to handle, contact me immediately," the butler said.

"Okay."

Hearing this from the butler, Feng Yi realized that the past two months of scientific examination had a greater impact on him than he had thought.

It seemed that he needed to be more cautious in his daily life.

He didn’t know what would happen if his body entered a state of stress, and neither did the butler; Feng Yi had to monitor it himself. The only certainty was that this stress state wasn’t severe, and generally, it could be managed.

After all, there weren’t so many external stimuli that would put him into a state of stress.

The butler added, "You also don’t need to stay cooped up at home all the time. Evolution adapts according to your living environment. If your future life isn’t always spent at home, then it’s fine to go out and walk around, to perceive and adapt to those changes, and then control them."

"Understood!"

The butler’s words were also what Feng Yi himself believed. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have participated in the science examination, enduring starvation in the wilderness for over a month.

It was all to prevent his evolution from veering towards becoming a couch potato!

"Don’t give up on strength training either," the butler said.

"Hmm, I know that."

In Feng Yi’s view, power was indispensable, and everything else was merely supplemental.

After speaking with the butler, Feng Yi felt somewhat reassured.

Change is change, as long as it doesn’t affect his everyday life that was fine. Overthinking things every day was of no use.

Whether the toxicity had enhanced remained to be verified.

Feng Yi looked at himself in the mirror.

A membrane sheath snugly wrapped around his two long fangs, hidden at the upper jaw. Even if he opened his mouth to laugh heartily, the venomous teeth wouldn’t be seen.

He made the fangs burst forth and bit into his arm.

Aside from a slight sting, there was no other change, and even that pang of pain quickly dissipated.

It seemed that biting himself would not lead to any conclusion, as his body had already developed a strong resistance after being bitten too many times.

He wiped the blood off his arm. If you looked closely, you’d notice that the wound from the right fang was a tiny bit more swollen than the left, but the swelling also faded rapidly.

Perhaps he hadn’t injected the venom evenly when he bit earlier.

"So I still need to practice more!"

Otherwise, when it might be needed, inefficient venom delivery could affect efficiency.

Thinking about the glass receptacles Professor Zhou and the others prepared for extracting venom from snakes during the field survey, Feng Yi decided to get one for himself—a bite membrane for venom injection, to practice instant venom release.

This field survey, he had clearly observed how those snakes used their venom. The moment they bit, it spurted out, a great load of toxins released!

Not like his current toothpaste tube method, squeezing out a little at a time.

To achieve instant release, he still had to press his cheeks with his hands. Without using his hands, the speed was much slower.

So, practice it was!

Thinking of testing his toxicity, Feng Yi drove out to stock up, buying two large fish at the supermarket and picked up his parcel at the property management on his way back. The ten boxes of beef jerky he ordered had arrived a long time ago, but he hadn’t collected them.

To ensure a good rest, he informed the property management to collect it for him.

The ten boxes of beef jerky were the same brand he ate during the field survey. He had been craving them ever since, but now that he’d bought them, the urgency had waned.

The field survey experience had given it new meaning.

Each bite made Feng Yi recall that bitter experience.

As if he were back in the mist-enshrouded forest, fighting with the animals for fruit in moments of dire hunger.

Now, looking at the ten boxes of beef jerky in front of him.

It felt like an extravagance!

After eating a bag of beef jerky, Feng Yi proceeded to prepare the two live fish he had just purchased.

He told the supermarket staff he would kill them at home, so they packed the fish alive. When Feng Yi opened the package, both fish were still lively.

He made a cut on each fish, then dabbed a couple of drops of venom onto the wounds.

The two fish thrashed briefly before staying still.

"Still very poisonous."

But whether the venom had undergone any chemical changes, that he did not know.

Fish killed with his own venom were, of course, meant to be eaten by him.

Can’t waste it.

Only after starving does one appreciate the value of food.

In the following days, while readjusting to city life, Feng Yi also started preparing for the Qianli Group’s anniversary celebration.

Having made quite a sum from Lu Yue, Feng Yi didn’t shortchange himself and bought an understated yet hugely expensive suit.

Even if it was just to attend a feast at the event, business cooperation was involved, so it was important to dress appropriately. It was also to let the Lu Family know he valued the event.

Dressing too shabbily was like slapping Lu Yue in the face—people might think Lu Yue was skimping on his remuneration.

So, Feng Yi got himself an outfit.

A designer brand, the latest model.

A business look with a touch of youthful casualness.

After all, it was also money squeezed out of the Qianli Group; spending it would help him earn back even more.

Being formally dressed gave both parties face. The other party would also be more willing to pay generously.

Feng Yi only bought this one set since he didn’t wear such clothes normally.

After consideration, Feng Yi gave up neckties, bow ties, and other accessories. Too much flashy stuff was inconvenient for eating. Giving others face didn’t mean inconveniencing oneself.

The day before Qianli Group’s anniversary, Feng Yi dragged his suitcase and flew to the celebration venue.

The hotel arrangements were all taken care of, close to the venue. Feng Yi had no obligations for work-related socializing, so upon arrival, he still stuck to his routine of eating and sleeping.

Of course, he made sure to notify Lu Yue—letting him know he had arrived and wouldn’t be absent.

On the day of the anniversary, Feng Yi arrived at the venue in the morning.

Qianli Group’s anniversary activities were divided into indoor and outdoor events. The indoor event was the highlight, taking place in the evening, while the outdoor event during the day was mainly for public relations, featuring several fashion exhibition areas and numerous interactive entertainment zones. It was bustling with activity.

Feng Yi wasn’t interested in those and pinpointed the self-service dining areas in the outdoor venue upon arriving.

With a mask on, Feng Yi headed to the nearest dining area.

There were no dress requirements for the outdoor event during the day, so Feng Yi dressed casually, which was convenient for dining and didn’t attract much attention. He would change into formal attire for the indoor event in the evening.

A group of students looking like a small group ran past Feng Yi, talking about going to see a cute girl’s performance.

Nearby, others overheard their conversation and hesitated before following them toward the interactive area’s stage.

Only Feng Yi’s steps were determined.

Cute girls?

Who needs to watch cute girls!

That would only affect the efficiency of my eating!

Isn’t the food in the dining area delicious?!
