Chapter.4 Eyelids (9)
**
I feel relieved. The feeling of encountering something that I had ignored for a long time and was forced to turn my head to avoid. It was terribly sad and still disgusting, but that was me in the end.
This is how we live. When I’m sad, I laugh more, and when I’m in pain, I scream louder. Until the day when he dies and can finally confess his sins to the two of you.
To do that, you have to live hard today.
After fully regaining control of his body, the first thing the professor did was look at his status window.

==========
Something has changed a lot.
The infection rate had risen to the point where it could not go any higher, and the natural recovery of extreme regenerative power had also increased.
‘It’s an unknown force… Is it him?’
After I fully regained consciousness, he disappeared somewhere again. It’s probably watching me somewhere in my head. They said it suppresses infectious agents as much as possible, so that’s probably what worked. [Mother’s Call] It’s probably because of him that the infectious agent characteristics such as [Mother’s Call] disappeared. Because he said with his own mouth that he was liberated from his mother.
‘The lowest level of medical skill… I think it came from doing a lot of first aid before, and it’s all good. It’s all good…’
[Overcome mental breakdown]
I don’t know how this happened.
Is this game really that simple? A perfect clone of a person is placed in a game, and the game system records the person’s trauma and overcoming it?
‘What on earth was Gedroitz thinking when he created this game?’
I don’t know. However, it was clear that this was not a game made just to laugh and have fun.
‘…..Let’s think about it later. ‘The crisis is not completely over yet.’
Although the psychological danger was eliminated, the situation did not change much. Simple infectious agents other than him were steadily climbing up my body, and there were mutes wandering around outside.
‘The sound is heard from far away, so it looks like it’s not near the Mandalius Mansion. Oh, by the way, you turned on the broadcast, right? ‘Maybe someone saw something while I was chatting with him?’
The professor opened the District 47 chat room without thinking.
– Landrad: So, it is much more energy-saving to run the pump than to use a water purifier?
– A serious conversation about footsteps: Where can you find water if you dig in the ground? Do you know how much groundwater is contaminated? why? Why don’t you drink cesium in water like a very psycho gang like soda?
– Pom Pom Kodo: Oh, that sounds delicious.
– Oswaldo: Hee hee! Shoot dirty pictures!
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: What is this?
– Speed Wagon: This is not that kind of room.
– Noroo Drug: Oh my, this is precious. Thank you for writing this~
– DOOMgay: Oh, the professor is awake.
– Unemployed: It’s true. Is it moving now? You were screaming to yourself earlier, but are you okay now?
Buzz! Boom, boom, boom!
“What is this….”
I can’t keep track of the speed at which the text in the chat window is growing. Is it strange? There are definitely a lot of gory scenes, so the screen is reduced to a small corner and even for that, there is a warning. Did you do it?
The number of people watching the broadcast increased ridiculously.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Yaaaa! Professor! Manage the broadcast!!! Stop playing games and get to work!
– takealook: Oh, I turned on the status window. But at first. Is it a lot bigger than when I saw it?
– Noru Drug: At that time, it was at a level where national welfare was needed. It was infected all the way to the head, so how is it being controlled? Seeing that the mutation characteristic has also appeared, it is almost completely muted now.
– Speed Wagon : The characteristics have changed a bit? What are the stars?
– Namba Three: This is my first time seeing it.
– Jokass: This is my first time seeing it too.
“No, no, how did this suddenly happen? Why did the number of people increase like this?”
– Speed Wagon: Waggin. You’re famous because your play is so unique.
– Jokass: As soon as the game starts, you get hit by White Sonic and fly around like a bowling pin, but when you come to your senses, the wizards are laughing and playing as an infinite bridge system. This is the most hardcore play in GG history. There was no other.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: Why did you think that everyone wouldn’t see that funny thing? I spread a rumor and there
was this much crowd! Well, this was a short thought on my part. When I think about it, they’re all people from the wasteland, but they have this much gore. There’s no way you’ll be very uncomfortable.
– Jokass: Anyway, what did you do to suddenly develop such a strange trait? Overcome? This is the first time I’ve seen a trait with a prefix like that.
“I’ll explain that later when I have time. Maybe I’ll just be out there while I’m fucking around. Has anyone seen where the mutes went?”
– Highway Nacho Man: I saw it. I was around you for quite a while. You came and went a few times and then just left. It was like you didn’t see me. It was quiet for a while after that. As expected
. I guess you looked inside and then went out.
– Speed Wagon: But. What are you going to do about the infection? You know that mute blood is also fresh, right? If the infectious agent inside dies, the suppression effect will be lost.
“Okay, we have to solve that first.”
Let’s organize complicated thoughts later. Let’s take care of urgent matters first.
The professor remembered observing himself over the past few days. Delaying through wounds. He said that the infection would not progress while the infectious agent was concentrating on regeneration. And the delay rate was higher for wounds with large cuts or tears than for wounds where the entire leg was amputated.
‘Although it takes a long time for an amputated leg to regenerate, if you think about it in an instant, it only regenerates the amount of the cut surface, so the area was not that large.
At that point, a way to solve this incurable infection suddenly occurred to me:
‘Completely remodel this body.’
The professor smiled as he picked up the rock fragments from the wall shattered by Mute. Hopefully, you won’t have to suffer from lack of combat power anymore.
***
Rattle, rattle!
– takealook: Umm…. Professor?
“Twenty. …Three! Why!”
– takealook: I’m sorry for asking when you’re busy, but what are you doing now?
The professor carefully looked around the underground research building, confirmed that the mute was completely gone, and returned to the room he came from. When the mute was pushed into his hand, There was a broken iron bar and a rope found nearby.
“Well, it’s exercise!”
That’s right, the professor was doing heavy squats with a barbell made by tying brick fragments to an iron bar.
“The infectious agent! It uses force to repair the wound area, and the higher the area, the more force it uses!”
While thinking about how to increase the area of the wound, the professor realized that there was no need to create an external wound.
“The principle of muscle creation is simple. If you apply an exercise load that the muscle fibers cannot withstand, the muscle fibers are destroyed.” “As the damaged muscle fibers regenerate, stronger and tougher muscles are created.”
Huuuuuck!
With shaky legs, the professor lifted it once more and explained.
The point is that muscle fibers can be destroyed at the cell level through exercise load.
‘And if you don’t stop there and exercise even harder, the muscles will die. ‘
So, there was a limit to the amount of muscle a person could train through exercise over a certain period of time.
“But as you know, my body regenerates! The end… the end…!”
Crash!
“Heo, heo, heo! It’s awesome… I’ll give it to you…”
The area is large, but it’s a small wound. If you stop exercising for a moment, it regenerates in an instant.
– Speed Wagon: Wait a minute. Even so, that kind of muscle growth is not possible. Isn’t there a limit? As the muscles grow, a greater exercise load is needed…
“Hehehe, you remembered something along the way, right?”
Trait [Extreme Regeneration]. Due to the effect of this trait, which is created by combining other traits in a glass body, my body has a durability of 120 no matter what I do.
“Of course, as muscle mass increases, the volume that must be loaded will increase, so increase the exercise load. I guess I have to give it to them. But it means that I can achieve muscle fiber destruction in just one day, something that others can only achieve by training for dozens of days
. I felt it while using the glass body quite a bit, and it was not just a characteristic that lowered durability. This body really resembles glass.
‘It was extremely vulnerable to shock, but it seemed to be able to withstand push and pull forces much better than the average body.’
This may have been the reason why sometimes it was shattered and at other times it survived unscathed. If the skin is a thin layer of glass surrounding the body, then the muscles and bones are like thick glass. Thanks to this, even if you lift something heavy, your arm won’t fall off or anything like that. It didn’t happen.
‘If you look at this part, it’s a flawless game.’
“And if your strength continues to increase in that way, there will come a point when your body’s vitality exceeds the power of the infectious agent.”
It is said that infectious agents cannot easily invade a body full of mana or a body that has been extremely trained.
My plan is, if I pump up my strength with this attribute, won’t it be long before I have a body so awesome that the infectious agents can’t even use it? It was just a hypothesis. But it was a hypothesis with great potential.
‘Of course, there are a lot of things to consider in the process, but…’
First of all, mute blood is needed for regeneration. The natural recovery power of 5200% is 52 times that of an ordinary person. This will speed up. A scratch or a slightly deep cut and muscle pain will disappear in a day, but a wound where the muscle is necrotic and the arm cannot move will require some time. If you want to shorten that time, you need Mute’s blood.
‘ When you look at the growth of limbs, it doesn’t seem to be calculated that mathematically… But still, there was a clear difference in regenerative power between when it was in that bathtub and when it was out.’
I shouldn’t forget that I have a time limit. I need to grow up quickly and escape this place quickly to make money.
But it’s important that I have a solution.
– Soy Sauce Gay Bar: ….. Buy it?
– Speed Wagon: No, it’s not that rare to increase your strength level through strength training in-game…
– Noru Drug: Strength is copied!
– Belugaiger: It’s a cheat, it’s a cheat!
“It’s not a cheat. In the end. “It doesn’t change that it’s a slightly hard glass body.”
If it had been any other character, I would have already grown up and started chopping up the warlock, but now I am just getting ready to run away from the starting line.
Tap-dap! Ud-dud!
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
‘The biggest drawback is…. In the process of regenerating the body, you have to feel the pain of the infectious agent digging in!’
The pain that seems to have made the muscle pain about 500 times more intense rushes through my cramping thighs.
After writhing on the floor for a few seconds and enduring the pain to the point where I couldn’t even scream, my body regained strength.
Rattling!
“one….!”
And start again.
“Let’s wait and see… Reed Flow School… Isaac Mandalius… New drug experiments are inherently expensive, right? I’ve probably done research on hundreds of people with my own body, so I’ll get it all when I get out of here. … Hehehe….”
15 days left until debt repayment. 3 days in real time.
The professor was truly becoming a monster.
