Luckily, someone was monitoring his condition, and just as he was on the verge of waking up, he felt the IV needle enter his arm.
Having thanked whoever had done it, Bill could now focus on the remaining damage without fear.
He decided to first restore his bones, particularly his spine, neck and ribs, which had suffered the most damage.
The fact that all of these injuries were the result of one blow made Bill aware of his body's weaknesses, and he began strengthening his spine.
It was a neural structure that connected the brain stem to the lower body, and Bill had gone to great lengths to increase its elasticity, just as he had done with the brain stem.
After experience in regenerating various parts of the brain, Bill became adept at this task, and was only held back by the speed of the IV.
But again, fortunately, someone was watching his condition, and soon he felt another needle - this time in his other hand.
Now with two sources of nutrition, Bill was in full swing. He strengthened his spinal cord and moved on to his cervical spine, gradually strengthening and rebuilding his central nervous system.
As before, Bill decided not to interfere with the connections between the nerves. In his imagination, his body lit up like a Christmas tree, and instead of playing with the "electricity," he focused on improving the "wiring" that transmitted that power.
Having finished with his spine, he moved on to his pelvis and then to each of his limbs, completely strengthening his nervous system.
Bill was now certain that he had been in bed for at least several days. After he had finished with the skull and brain, he began timing the way his caretaker turned him from side to side, and in this way he formed an idea of the time that had passed.
This fact was just a curiosity for Bill, and when he began to strengthen the bones in his neck, he did not particularly care about it.
As with his nervous system, Bill quickly found his speed limited by the IV again, and again his observer noticed, and he felt another needle, this time in his neck.
Three sources of nutrition supported his efforts, but it still wasn't enough. As he worked through each vertebra, Bill was careful not to sacrifice mobility for strength. His bones became harder, and his connective tissue became more elastic.
In reality, Bill didn't count on the cartilage between his bones to protect him from a broken neck or back. He would strengthen the muscle connections later, but for now his focus was on the bones and bone marrow.
As Bill reached the end of his spine, he felt two more IVs being inserted into his wrists. With this extra fuel, he continued to rebuild the rest of his skeleton without sacrificing joint mobility.
Feeling that at least a week had passed, Bill looked himself over and was pleased with the work he had done.
As another IV was inserted into his waist, Bill realized he didn't have much time left in bed.
Looking inside his chest, he saw that his heart was still strong, but his lungs, stomach, thymus, liver and intestines were damaged to varying degrees.
He quickly patched up the worst of the damage, but now decided to start with the thymus gland and move down.
Not surprisingly, this work turned out to be much easier than working on the brain, bones or nervous system, and he was able to systematically move through his body, strengthening the internal organs.
With seven external sources of nutrients, he could also move faster. Based on his experience, he was even able to experiment with the structure of the cells, making them more resilient.
Previously, Bill could drink any amount of alcohol without getting drunk. This was because he could isolate the poison in his stomach and either flush it out or release it slowly in safe doses.
Now, having finished rebuilding his liver, he thought that getting drunk was probably simply impossible.
He decided that in this crazy world he lived in, it might somehow become a reality, but under normal circumstances, his blood alcohol level would never be able to suppress his system again, even if he didn't isolate the poison like he had before.
Now he could have started his bodily functions, but Bill decided to finish what he started and started with the muscles of his face. From there he moved to his neck, stomach, back and so on throughout the body.
He didn't prioritize white, red, or pink muscles, but focused on their ratio and placement in his body.
For example, red muscles are more oxidized and provide slow movements and high endurance. Although they are not suitable for intense exercise, they are necessary for fine motor skills and even just standing up straight!
