Chapter 51 Power Enhancement, Test
Su Jinjin stared at the remaining Power Apple in her hand, a surge of eagerness welling up inside her.
"Since one pill works so well, taking another one shouldn't be a problem, right?"
She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't resist the temptation and took out another green fruit and bit into it.
After eating the second apple, the warm current surged even more intensely than before.
Su Jinjin could clearly feel her muscle fibers reorganizing and her bone density increasing, as if she were being injected with boundless power.
She tried lifting the table in the RV with one hand, and it was effortless!
The table felt as light as a piece of foam board.
"This is amazing..." Su Jinjin was so excited that she picked up the third one as if possessed.
However, shortly after the third apple was eaten, a strange thing happened.
Su Jinjin suddenly felt an unusual swelling sensation inside her body. It wasn't the kind of fullness you get from overeating, but rather a feeling that every cell was being forcibly charged and might burst at any moment.
This sensation caused Su Jinjin to feel a sharp pain instantly.
"Ugh..." She bent over in pain, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
My strength is indeed increasing rapidly, but my body is starting to send out dangerous signals.
The blood vessels under the skin bulge, the muscles twitch uncontrollably, and even breathing becomes difficult.
"What on earth is going on?" Su Jinjin suppressed her discomfort and thought hard. "Could it be that my physical fitness can't keep up with the surge in strength?"
She suddenly remembered that the item appraisal mentioned that a person could only withstand the modification of a maximum of five Power Apples.
The fact that she experienced a rejection reaction after only eating her third pill is clearly because she ingested too much in a short period of time, and her body couldn't adapt in time.
"I can't eat anymore..." Su Jinjin gritted her teeth and put all the remaining apples back into her spatial storage.
Although theoretically one could eat two more pills, one must wait until the body has fully digested the existing power before continuing.
The pain comes on quickly and disappears quickly.
She forced herself to stand up and began doing simple stretching exercises inside the RV, trying to help her body adapt to the surge of power.
She moved with extreme care, afraid of using too much force and dismantling the RV; with her current strength, this was no joke.
The effect of the Three Power Apples is indeed amazing.
Su Jinjin tested it and found that she could easily lift at least 200 kilograms with one hand and leave a clear fist mark on a steel plate with one punch.
Even more astonishingly, her explosive power increased several times over, allowing her to leap more than three meters high with a light jump.
"This power... is too exaggerated." Su Jinjin looked at her fist, feeling both excited and scared.
She instantly transformed into a woman with superhuman strength!
I can't imagine how terrifying the power would be if I continued to eat.
She decided to train hard and wait until she had full control over her current strength before considering taking the fourth pill.
As for now...
Su Jinjin glanced at the gradually brightening sky outside the window, stretched her limbs, and her joints made crisp "crackling" sounds.
"I felt that going out would be a good opportunity to get used to the new forces through real combat."
Su Jinjin muttered to herself, her eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
I can't sleep anyway, and Little Flower is digesting the [Poison Fang], I wonder if she'll be starving again when she wakes up.
Thinking of Xiao Hua's astonishing appetite, Su Jinjin couldn't help but sigh: "Given Xiao Hua's appetite, we'll have to stockpile even more supplies in the future."
Su Jinjin believes that her demand for food will increase in the future.
"Yes, we'll have to really squeeze Xiaohua dry when she wakes up."
He neatly packed up his equipment, got out of the RV, and skillfully stored the entire RV away from the storage compartment.
In the crimson mist of early morning, everything was shrouded in an eerie dark red halo, and the rustling of insects could be heard from afar.
Su Jinjin began to purposefully search for insect monster targets, which allowed her to test her newly acquired power, complete the system's recycling tasks, and store food for Xiaohua—a win-win-win situation.
...
"Snap!"
A crisp snapping sound rang out.
With a leap, Su Jinjin easily jumped onto the abandoned billboard more than three meters high. A flash of silver light appeared in her hand, and her silver needle fencing sword shot out like lightning, accurately hitting a giant moth that was hovering.
The moth had a wingspan of over two meters, but it was powerless against her sword, its vital organs pierced instantly, and it fell heavily to the ground.
[Ding! Successfully collected 1 mutated moth]
[Quantity recycled: 128/100]
"After the power increase, coupled with the speed boost from the previous body modification pills, my combat strength has indeed grown considerably."
Su Jinjin landed lightly, looking at her victory with satisfaction.
Previously, it took some effort and the assistance of [Sleepy Incense] and [Sweet Incense] to defeat the insect monsters, but now it's almost a one-hit kill.
She stored the moth's corpse in her spatial storage and suddenly heard a dense rustling sound coming from not far away.
Looking in the direction of the sound, one could see several jet-black beetles emerging from the ground, each the size of a washbasin, their shells covered with sharp spikes.
"You've come at the perfect time." Su Jinjin's lips curled into a cold smile.
She abandoned her silver needle fencing technique and instead wanted to test pure strength—she slightly bent her knees, then suddenly exerted force, propelling herself like a cannonball towards the insect.
"boom!"
With a single punch, the first few beetles to be hit were blasted into pieces, their shell fragments flying everywhere.
Su Jinjin swept her leg and kicked the three beetles that pounced from the side in half.
Her movements were so fast they were almost blurry, and each strike carried astonishing destructive power, wiping out the entire group of mutated beetles in the blink of an eye.
[Ding! Successfully collected 3 mutated beetles]
[Quantity recycled: 151/100]
Su Jinjin shook the insect fluid off her hands, feeling the surging power within her body.
The transformation effect of the three Power Apples far exceeded expectations; she is now practically a human weapon.
However, she also noticed that overuse of strength can cause slight muscle soreness, indicating that even with increased strength, energy replenishment is still necessary.
"Continue." She took a deep breath and headed deeper into the city.
The insect monsters she encountered along the way became her test subjects.
As the battle continued, Su Jinjin became increasingly adept at controlling her power.
She discovered that, combined with the speed granted by the body-modifying pills, she could now perform many actions she never dared to imagine before.
For example, running on the wall, or leaping over a broken bridge that is three or four meters wide.
These are things I never dared to imagine before.
Just as Su Jinjin was focused on collecting the various insect corpses.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion came from the other side of the city.
She looked up abruptly and saw a huge fireball rising in the distance, thick smoke billowing into the sky, making the already dark red sky even more gloomy.
"What's happening over there?" Su Jinjin squinted, her analytical glasses automatically adjusting their focus, but the distance was too far, and she could only see blurry shadows flying in the firelight.
Su Jinjin hesitated for a moment, then decided not to meddle.
After all, in this perilous instance, meddling in other people's business often means unnecessary risks.
