Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 90 - 84 The Second Reward_1

The butler quietly waited on the other end of the line, not in a hurry to ask.

Feng Yi stared at the numbers on the scale, taking a deep breath.

"The scale at home seems to be malfunctioning, the error is a bit large."

Upon hearing this, the butler said, "That’s common with electronic scales. Measure a few more times, taking the average value."

Some time passed.

The old butler asked, "How much?"

Feng Yi struggled to say, "100 kilograms."

The butler’s originally serious tone relaxed, "Good, good, good! That’s normal!"

Feng Yi: ???

"This is normal?"

He wasn’t just talking about the 100kg figure, but about the fact that he’d gained 30kg in a week!

And it was completely unnoticeable!

Is that normal?!

Though they were separated by a phone call, the butler seemed to foresee Feng Yi’s shocked face and explained with a laugh.

"Gaining 30kg in a week, with no visible difference in appearance, is abnormal for others, but for you, it is perfectly normal.

"During this period, with excessive eating and sleeping, and a large intake of food, you will experience a rapid weight gain phase."

Feng Yi continued to be in shock.

This is too sneaky!

He hadn’t even felt any significant weight gain during this time! freewёbnoνel.com

Even looking in the mirror, he seemed unchanged!

In about a week, he went directly from 70 kilograms to 100 kilograms!

Gaining weight stealthily, then shocking me to my core!

Where on earth did those 30 kilograms go?!

Filled with confusion, Feng Yi said, "I can’t feel any change in my appearance, so why has my weight increased so much in such a short time? Where has the weight gone to?"

The butler spoke slowly and calmly, "Because the cells in your body are also changing; they are no longer what they used to be.

"Only after they are strengthened can they support the subsequent evolution, otherwise the burden will be too heavy, and the whole body will collapse.

"Evolved cells will form a new network, a new signal pathway. Can you feel that your strength has increased?"

Feng Yi recalled for a moment, "I was already quite strong before the scientific expedition."

Back then, he could single-handedly drag a three-meter European catfish from the water onto the shore.

The butler: "No, your strength is now greater. After the scientific expedition, after enduring two months of starvation, you replenished so much energy, which triggered a rapid qualitative change!"

My strength has increased?

Feng Yi hadn’t really noticed, although he recently felt it was easier during strength training. He had attributed this to being well-fed, hydrated, and well-rested, which made him think his overall physical condition had improved, making training easier.

Now hearing the butler, was it not so simple?

If it was a comprehensive qualitative change of the cells, then it made sense.

Gaining 30kg in a week without really feeling it was due to the comprehensive qualitative change of the body’s cells, which brought a new balance. Hence, there was no discomfort in daily movements and activities.

"Why did this happen so suddenly?" asked Feng Yi.

"It might be because your body has a sense of urgency. After all, after starving for two months, once energy was replenished, you naturally took the time to seize the energy to strengthen.

"During the evolution, every part of the body is very active, just like your teeth."

The butler intended to use fangs as an example, but thinking of Feng Yi’s two pipe-like teeth, the enthusiasm faded.

However, Feng Yi already understood.

Just like the fangs, after starvation, determined that the body needed stronger survival capabilities, they underwent a second-stage mutation and development.

And since cells in the body were in an active state due to evolution, they developed their own ideas.

Full-scale enhancement began!

The butler said, "So sometimes you feel tired, because the energy converted from all the food you’ve eaten isn’t much used for your usual walking and exercise, but rather is being used more for evolution.

"Dispose of, rebuild. Establish a new equilibrium.

"Therefore, during this period you must not starve yourself, try to eat as much as possible in order to ensure a sufficient supply of energy for the body.

"Once rebuilding starts, it won’t stop easily. If the energy supply is insufficient, lacking nutrition and the energy the body needs, the chances of injury will increase."

To help Feng Yi better understand this importance, the butler gave him an example.

"For instance, the bones in your body. Now the osteoblasts and osteoclasts are establishing a new balance, discarding the old bones that can’t bear the load and creating new bones that can support subsequent evolution.

"This rebuilding work is efficiently carried out while you sleep, constantly optimizing the growth structure.

"And if there is a lack of nutrition and energy supply, bone mass will decrease, bone strength will be reduced, and consequently, the risk of fractures will increase."

Feng Yi listened attentively and asked, "So because of this comprehensive strengthening, my cells have become heavier?"

Each cell adds just a little weight, but when all the cells in the body are combined, that’s a change of 30 kilograms!

"Yes," the butler replied.

Feng Yi thought to himself: This old butler knows his stuff!

Feng Yi tentatively asked, "Has Madam Feng also gone through this kind of change?"

From the first day they met, besides a basic introduction, the old butler seldom mentioned anything about his great-aunt.

Indeed, as soon as Feng Yi asked this question, the old butler just smiled and replied with a "Yes," then he did not say much more.

As if he knew about the various doubts and curiosities in Feng Yi’s heart, the butler said, "Your type of evolution is unique to each individual, different experiences will lead to different evolutionary paths. How much weight increase, how long this period will last, and whether you can lose weight after the weight gain period, all of this is uncertain.

"If you really want to know more about Madam Feng, you have to strive to evolve, the higher your level of evolution, the more you will be able to know."

Feng Yi wasn’t satisfied and pressed on, "Not even a hint? Then tell me, what else did my great-aunt leave for me?"

The butler thought for a moment, "She also left a house for you. If you evolve to the next stage, the house will be yours as a stage reward."

Feng Yi’s spirit lifted.

"Where is this house?"

The butler smiled without responding.

Feng Yi asked another question, "A high-rise or a villa? Is it big?"

This time the butler answered.

"A large villa."

Feng Yi: "I will definitely work hard to evolve!"

Thinking too much about cellular enhancement was useless, and without any relevant instruments, he couldn’t understand the changes occurring in his body.

Analyzing these things wasn’t Feng Yi’s strength.

Better to put all that aside for now and focus on how to get a step closer to his present form.

Like, eating and sleeping more?

According to the butler, if he could quickly enter the next stage of evolution, he would get that house.

This was the reward from his great-aunt he had never met face-to-face, completing one step, receiving one gift.

The first time was one billion.

After evolving to the next stage, he would get a villa.

That meant the villa was worth much more than one billion!

If this were yesterday, Feng Yi might not have been too excited; the money in the bank was enough for a long time.

But after coming up with the idea of building a private laboratory, he felt that the money wouldn’t be enough.

If he could inherit more, then he could set up his own medical lab!

For the house, I’ve got to work even harder!
