When Bai Ye arrived at the gym, Smith was already waiting. After all, Bai Ye's face had been plastered all over the headlines in New York that morning; it was impossible to miss.
Looking at Bai Ye, Smith had a complicated expression. Yesterday, he'd been anticipating what surprises Bai Ye would bring today, but today he'd caused such a huge stir.
"Let's start training," Bai Ye said without any preamble, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to begin. However, Smith stopped him.
"Bai, our boss knows about what happened with you and wants to talk," Smith said quietly.
"Your boss?" Bai Ye paused, looking at Smith.
"Yes, the owner of this gym. After he found out you were training here, he wants to chat with you tonight, so he asked me if you're free."
"Talk about what?"
"Well, he thinks you have a great image and wants you to be a spokesperson for the club. The endorsement fee starts at ten million, and we can negotiate the specifics," Smith said.
"What if I don't want to see him?" Bai Ye asked directly.
"Our boss also said that if you're not willing, then we'll drop it. At the same time, he wants to make friends with you. He's already taken the initiative to refund the money he charged to your gym membership. You can train here for free, 24 hours a day, whenever you like."
"And, this club in New York was built many years ago, so it has some older equipment. To meet your needs, we can have the latest equipment shipped over tomorrow. If you need it, we can even spend money to customize equipment that suits your strength."
Bai Ye's lips curled up. He felt a little embarrassed to refuse since the other party was so accommodating.
After thinking for a moment, Bai Ye looked at Smith. "Tell your boss that I don't have time this month. I'll visit him personally next month. I'll discuss a deal with him worth over a hundred billion."
"A hundred billion?" Smith exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, you'll know when the time comes. Let's start training now. Let's add the barbell to one ton this time. I'll do a set of squats first," Bai Ye instructed. He had added 0.2 to his Physique today, so he could finally keep up with his strength. He didn't have to worry about getting injured from overtraining.
"One ton? But the heaviest barbell we have here can only go up to 260 kilograms," Smith said, looking troubled.
"It's fine, I'll just stack four together," Bai Ye waved his hand dismissively.
But he quickly found that wasn't possible. Once he added weight plates to the barbell, he could only grip one barbell with each hand.
Even with his strength, he could only hold two at most, with maybe one more on his neck. The fitness equipment used by ordinary humans was no longer enough for him.
Helpless, Bai Ye had to reduce the intensity of his workout to 780 kilograms with three barbells. However, with the decrease in training volume, he found that he couldn't even sweat, let alone feel tired.
As his Physique attribute increased, his stamina recovery speed also grew. Even though he was doing squats with nearly a ton of weight, and the tiles under his feet were about to be crushed, he managed to do a thousand without even flushing.
Obviously, his stamina recovery had surpassed his energy expenditure during the workout.
If Magneto were here, with his abilities, he could directly increase the weight on the barbells in my hands. Bai Ye thought, feeling regretful.
After so many days of training, he also realized that with the same intensity, the results of training almost doubled when his body reached its limit.
Unfortunately, with the increase in attribute points, it will be almost impossible to reach a limit through exercise in the future.
Helplessly, Bai Ye could only do squats while asking, "Do you have sulfuric acid here?"
"Sulfuric acid?"
"Never mind, I'll bring my own tomorrow." Bai Ye shook his head, dismissing the idea. He should be able to try soaking in sulfuric acid with a purity of 70% or higher now.
But today, the school should be visiting Osborn's workplace. Peter Parker should have been bitten by the spider by now. He thought to himself.
Then another idea popped into his head, and he looked at Smith and instructed, "Go get a barbell without any plates from there, and then use it to hit me."
"Bai, you mean, use the barbell to hit you?" Smith looked at him with a strange expression.
"That's right. I want to train my ability to withstand attacks. Don't worry, I won't get hurt."
Who's worried about you? I'm afraid I'll die from exhaustion. Smith grumbled inwardly, then picked up a barbell without plates from the side, and with all his muscles tensed, swung it onto Bai Ye's back.
Thump!
With Smith's full force behind the blow, the steel rod in his hand felt like it had hit a rubber tire, sending a slight numbness through his right hand.
Bai Ye, on the receiving end, felt a slight sting on his back. From Smith's perspective, he could see a slight redness appearing on Bai Ye's pale skin, but nothing else seemed to change.
"Did you even use any strength? It feels a little weak. I don't feel the vibration of my internal organs being hit."
Bai Ye asked while opening his status window, finding it was indeed very useful. He only needed to endure 5,000 more hits to increase his Physique by 0.1.
"I definitely used my full strength," Smith said seriously, shaking his slightly numb right hand.
"How about this? Don't hit my back anymore, just hit the back of my head instead. It feels like it would be more effective that way," Bai Ye suggested.
One dared to ask, and the other dared to do it. Not long after, Bai Ye, who was doing squats, had the back of his head struck by Smith with a loud thud.
Bai Ye gasped in pain, as if he heard the sound of bones cracking. His whole head was buzzing. Turning to look at Smith, who was about to swing the bat again, Bai Ye quickly said, "Let's ease up on the training intensity for now. Let's focus on the back first. Seems my head is still a bit fragile."
"Oh." Smith obediently aimed at Bai Ye's back again and struck with all his might.
But his stamina was not as good as Bai Ye's. After only a few dozen strikes, his arms began to go numb. In the end, he had to sit on the side and rest, watching Bai Ye train alone.
And Bai Ye soon found a new training method in his self-training, which was to disrupt the circulation method of the Inner Energy in his body, destroying the original routes, or in short, Severed Meridians.
Feeling the Inner Energy running amok in his body, bringing a needle-like pain, a satisfied smile appeared on Bai Ye's face.
Description: You have completed a Severed Meridians caused by a reverse flow of Inner Energy. Total recovery time: 70 minutes…
Repeat 34 times, Physique increases by 0.1. Repeat 124 times, Spirit increases by 0.1.
