Chapter 4: Suddenly Became Famous
“Logically speaking, someone who has been in a state of hunger for such a long time should feel dizzy, weak, and mentally exhausted.”
The viewer who pondered this question posted their confusion in the comments section of the live room:
“But have you noticed? Although he has been sitting there the whole time, his expression is relaxed and natural, even radiant, completely unlike someone who hasn’t eaten in over a month.”
Someone couldn’t help but bring up Yi Chen’s health data to check, and they exclaimed in surprise:
“My goodness, look at his health data! Being in a state of prolonged hunger should result in low blood sugar, ion imbalance, and declining body functions.”
“But the scanned data shows that all of his health metrics are completely normal.”
“Is this for real? I don’t know about anything else, but if a person sits there in a strange position for more than a month without moving, their muscles should at least start to atrophy.”
“Not to mention going without food for more than a month; I’d feel weak after just one day.”
“This isn’t scientific! Pull up his health data from over a month ago and compare it to now.”
“He has been hungry for more than a month, yet his lung capacity, body fat percentage, and basal metabolic rate… none of his health metrics have decreased; in fact, many have improved.”
“By calculating his health metrics, he has improved by about twenty percent after being in a hunger state for over a month.”
“This is so unbelievable!”
In the Tenth Livestream Room, over a hundred viewers with obsessive tendencies were left speechless.
Soon, others began to check Yi Chen’s daily health data, and they were amazed to find that his health improvements were occurring in stages.
The first month showed a consistent decline.
However, starting from ten days ago, after Yi Chen began writing on the wall, his health metrics suddenly began to improve at a slow pace.
Three days later, the rate of improvement unexpectedly doubled.
Three and a half days later, it increased by nearly fifty percent.
What was going on?
Could intentionally keeping oneself in a state of hunger actually improve physical condition?
The viewers in the live room were stunned by their own conclusions.
“No, no, look at the metabolic scan they just ran.”
After some research, someone finally discovered the key: “There’s a source of energy located just below his abdomen, swirling inside his body.”
“This energy seems to attract external energy particles into his body, which then join the energy swirling around in his abdomen, continuously cycling like this.”
“His prolonged hunger state, combined with the absorption of some external energy particles during this process, is what has allowed his physical condition to improve.”
“Is that really the case? How could external energy particles possibly be absorbed into the body?”
“Look closer; the energy within him can even slowly convert the external energy particles into similar energy.”
“However, I wonder what use this internal energy has.”
“It’s quite useful! The more energy he has inside, the faster he can attract external energy particles, leading to even more energy being absorbed. That’s why his physical condition shows such stage-by-stage improvement.”
“Why do I feel like I’ve discovered a tremendous secret, witnessing a historic event?”
“Me too! I feel like Number Ten has made some major discovery.”
The viewers in the live room began to get excited.
Sitting there could enhance physical condition, something only gene drugs and high-end massage equipment could achieve.
However, gene drugs and high-end massage equipment are extremely expensive, something only the wealthy can afford.
Yet here was Number Ten, improving his physical condition without any drugs or massage equipment.
If this was replicable, could ordinary people also improve their physical condition?
And even more quickly!
Two hundred, four hundred, eight hundred…
Countless viewers flooded into the Tenth Livestream Room, and the number of participants started to soar.
Many media professionals flocked in like flies drawn to rotten meat, rushing to get the scoop.
“Improving physical condition is this simple!”
“Gene drugs and high-end massage equipment are about to face a devastating blow!”
“Zero cost, rapid enhancement of physical condition: is this a scheme to attract attention or a new discovery?”
Various self-media platforms began to post eye-catching articles and videos.
News outlets also sent workers into the live room to find out more details and consult related experts and scholars.
Soon, major news outlets began to publish relevant stories.
The hottest was an interview video from ‘Rapid News Network’.
The ‘Rapid News Network’ quickly invited several experts and scholars for analysis.
Top psychologists, renowned researchers of various races, human potential developers, linguists… even a metaphysics expert.
The experts shared their opinions, and their conclusions were nearly unanimous.
A famous historian confirmed that humanity, thousands of years ago, when they had yet to develop space-jumping technology and were confined to a small corner of Blue Star, had started enhancing their innate abilities.
Powers, magic, martial arts, witchcraft… it was a time of diverse theories.
However, facts proved that only a tiny fraction of people could use these methods to enhance their abilities.
The ratio was less than one in a million.
Moreover, the potential was very limited; even in a lifetime, they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people and had no resistance against powerful weapons.
With the advent of space-jumping technology, humanity broke free from Blue Star, occupied numerous life planets and resource planets, and gained vast resources, leading to another explosion of technology.
Gene drugs developed from research on fierce beasts emerged.
Even to this day, gene drugs have endured for thousands of years, facing competition only from high-end massage devices.
But both gene drugs and high-end massage devices are still far from being affordable for the masses.
While their effects are impressive, they are not enough to empower an individual to fly or obliterate the world like the powerful beings of other races.
Currently, with technology failing to achieve another breakthrough, humanity has gradually shifted from offense to defense in its competition with other races, leading to internal conflicts.
Many research institutions have invested huge sums into studying whether humanity can enhance its abilities like the other races.
Many wealthy individuals have secretly funded the establishment of related secret laboratories.
Since life is one of the greatest taboos of cosmic laws, no matter how researchers try, clones can never equal true humanity.
Memory is not the same as the soul; implanting memories in a clone’s brain results in discrepancies in emotions, thoughts, and personality.
The wealthy desire to find a way to evolve into higher beings with lifespans of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, like the powerful entities of other races.
But all their research yields very little.
The implication is that throughout human history, countless geniuses have emerged, pouring vast resources into this endeavor, yet so far, there have been few significant results.
How could someone without any instruments, devices, or reference materials achieve a major breakthrough in this field in just a month?
Other experts and scholars shared similar views.
Human potential developers and linguists agreed that the words and images Yi Chen engraved on the wall represent a completely new method of enhancing the human body.
However, it is very similar to the powers, martial arts, and witchcraft that existed before—only a very few people can replicate them, and the potential is extremely low.
Furthermore, since Yi Chen is the first-generation creator, imitating him carries great risks.
In summary, people should not try to imitate him.
First, it is very difficult to learn, second, it leads to no promising future, and third, it is dangerous.
Only those in the upper echelons of society, who are well-informed, realize that there are additional experts and scholars invited by other news websites, most of whom have backgrounds in pharmaceutical or medical device groups.
Many of these pharmaceutical and medical device groups have contacted the Interstellar Media Group, hoping to cancel this program.
However, the Interstellar Media Group is also very wealthy and sees the signs of a public benefit program gaining popularity as an opportunity to enhance their image, so they would not simply cancel it.
