In the forum, there were too many players who sent messages to Niu Bu, so Niu Bu chose to block all players' private messages. He would only check the private messages when he remembered someone.

Niu Bu was very interested in He Ao's post about offline gathering. He closed He Ao's post, checked He Ao's private messages, and found that He Ao had indeed sent him an invitation.

"This time, the server of 'Bai Jia Zhu Dao' will be suspended for a month and a half. We can get together and have fun for a while!"

Niu Bu accepted He Ao's invitation. This time He Ao set the date of the party on September 9st, so everyone had plenty of time to prepare for the party.

"In the next half month, let's return to normal life and experience real life!"

Niu Bu browsed the forum for a while and decided to quit the forum, stay away from games, and return to normal life.

It has been one year and eight months since Niu Bu started playing the game "Bai Jia Zhu Dao". During this nearly two years, it can be said that he has been immersed in the game every day and is an absolute game maniac.

When wearing the virtual helmet, Niu Bu would often return to reality to eat, lift weights, or massage his feet because he would be kicked off the game from time to time.

Ever since Niu Bu upgraded his virtual helmet into a holographic gaming cabin, Niu Bu can’t say that he stays in the game 24 hours a day, but it’s almost the same.

This behavior did not affect Niu Bu's life much. The main reason was that Niu Bu made a lot of money from "Bai Jia Zhu Dao". After handing over part of the money to his parents, his parents no longer cared about Niu Bu.

Nowadays, studying is no longer the only criterion to measure whether a child has a promising future.

Making money is.

As long as you earn the money in a legitimate way, your parents won’t think you are not doing your job properly.

It’s like this for games, it’s like this for anchors, it’s like this for internet celebrities, and it’s like this for selling goods.

Although Niu Bu is addicted to games, he really makes a lot of money and his health is better than before. Niu Bu's parents hardly care about him, except when they urge him to find a wife during the holidays.

"I feel a little empty after quitting the game so suddenly. I'm not used to it!"

Niu Bu came out of the holographic game cabin and came to a mirror as usual. He looked at himself in the mirror with long hair and a beard, and picked up a razor from the table in the living room.

The longest online time for the holographic game cabin is seven days. You need to log off every seven days to rest and replenish the nutrients and water in the holographic game cabin.

I don’t know when it started, but Niu Bu found that his hair and beard grew much faster. Before he had the holographic gaming cabin, Niu Bu’s hair grew relatively slowly, and he only got a haircut once a month or even more than a month.

The growth rate of the beard is even slower. Niu Bu's beard is the typical type that doesn't grow long. Even if he doesn't take care of his beard for half a year, it will still be less than half a centimeter long.

But now, Niu Bu's hair and beard are growing very fast, and he needs a haircut almost every time he comes out of the holographic game cabin.

As for the beard, it can be said that if Niu Bu does not take care of it for seven days, his face will be covered with beard.

"My hair is growing faster again!"

After trimming his beard with a razor, Niu Bu took out a ruler to measure his hair and found that in just seven days, Niu Bu's hair had grown to 8.43 cm long.

Hair grows almost 1 cm a day!

Is it in this river?

This is obviously not from the river!

Even though his qi and blood are sufficient, his yang energy is strong, he has plenty of physical strength, his male hormones are well developed, and his testosterone is far higher than that of ordinary people, the speed at which his hair grows is still too shocking to the world.

Because of his hair growth problem, Niu Bu went to the hospital for a test, and the conclusion was that it was a problem with his physical condition.

People’s physiques are different, and I got a little angry.

The doctors at the hospital couldn't find anything wrong, so Niu Bu could only comfort himself that having a head of long, thick, black hair was better than being bald!
however!
The growth rate of hair was not the only thing that made Niu Bu feel unusual.

Looking at his extremely obvious eight-pack abs, unusually beautiful streamlined muscles, and angular face in the mirror, Niu Bu fell into a kind of narcissism.

Before entering the game, Niu Bu was neither fat nor thin, and had a very ordinary body shape. He did not have the habit of regular fitness. Instead, because he often played games, he was in a sub-healthy state.

In the Yanlong Empire, many young people are in a sub-healthy state, the kind that get out of breath after running three or four hundred meters. Niu Bu was like this before, too. What really changed for him was after he got the holographic game cabin.

At the beginning, Niu Bu simply thought that the abilities he mastered in the game could be used in reality.

For example, Niu Bu learned riding skills from Coach Li Yulun, and he naturally mastered it in real life. At that time, he told other players the news. King Zhuge also suggested that players could learn in the game and continue learning when they returned to reality, so as to achieve the goal of learning 24 hours a day.

Zhuge Wangye's proposal was considered devilish at the time. Although everyone knew that learning from games would also be possible in reality.

But no one can study non-stop for 24 hours a day, especially adults like them who have already passed high school.

The idea of ​​using the abilities acquired in the game in real life was discussed for a while but then became obsolete. What really made Niu Bu feel incredible was the first players’ gathering.

It was not long since Niu Bu got the holographic game cabin. During a shower one time, he unexpectedly discovered that he actually had six obvious abdominal muscles, and his strength, speed, agility, endurance and other physical strengths had increased significantly.

The physical strength and enhancement in all aspects made Niu Bu quite surprised and shocked. Every time Niu Bu quit the game and returned to reality, he would conduct a simple test on his body.

In the game, Niu Bu practices martial arts, circulates spiritual energy, opens up acupuncture points, and is promoted to the Qi family realm.

In reality, Niu Bu's physical fitness is improving inexplicably. This improvement is a subtle improvement. Although the speed of improvement is not fast, Niu Bu can feel that his physical fitness is stronger every time.

The holographic gaming cabin has a paid function called the sports function.

The exercise function can slowly enhance the player's physical fitness. The specific principle is: after the player enters the game, the holographic game cabin instrument will use high-frequency vibrations to continuously strengthen and activate the player's muscles and cells, enhance the player's cell activity and muscle growth, and thus slowly improve the player's physical fitness.

But as a Niu Bu who had been promoted to the Qi family realm in the game, he keenly felt that the improvement in his physical strength had nothing to do with the so-called sports function of the holographic game cabin.

On the contrary, the improvement of one's physical strength is related to spiritual energy.

Yes!

It’s related to Reiki!
When Niu Bu first guessed this conclusion, he was shocked. He thought he was crazy for daring to think so.

But after that, Niu Bu kept observing, pondering, comparing, and experiencing, and he was convinced that his physical strength was indeed related to spiritual energy. In the game, although the spiritual energy in Yancheng, Beijiang, was not as good as that in the Di Shang Dynasty, it was also quite abundant. Niu Bu could easily feel the existence of spiritual energy and absorb it into his body for refining and control.

But in reality, Niu Bu cannot feel the existence of spiritual energy at all, but this does not prevent Niu Bu from making a comparison.

Niu Bu once lay in the holographic game cabin and turned on the paid exercise mode of the holographic game cabin. Comparing it with when he left the holographic game cabin, he could faintly feel the difference between his body sensation and that outside.

The feeling that is almost exactly the same as absorbing spiritual energy in the game is one of the main reasons for Niu Bu's speculation.

In the game, the Northern Frontier Yancheng has abundant spiritual energy (compared to the holographic game cabin), and Niu Bu has cultivated a skill that allows him to absorb spiritual energy independently and refine it.

But in reality, the spiritual energy in the holographic game cabin is scarce, and there is no cultivation method of its own, so it can only be passively nourished by the spiritual energy.

Precisely because of its spiritual energy, Niu Bu has abundant blood and abundant energy, its hair grows very fast, and it has eight-pack abdominal muscles and excellent physical fitness without any exercise.

If we compare them using the strength in the game.

Niu Bu's physical strength in reality is roughly equal to that of a person who has just entered the student stage for two or three months.

In the game, the student realm is very weak and it is possible for them to be killed by ordinary people.

But in reality
Niu Bulai admired himself in front of the mirror for a while, then came to the bedroom. He looked at the dusty barbell, grabbed it with one hand, exerted a little force, and lifted it above his head.

The barbell is a 25-kilogram barbell, and two pieces of the barbell weigh 50 kilograms. Niu Bu lifted it with one hand very easily.

"My strength has increased. Before, it was quite strenuous to lift a 50kg barbell with one hand, but now I can lift it easily without any effort!"

Niu Bu held the barbell high in one hand with a calm expression. He walked forward a few steps, put the barbell down, and his breathing became a little rapid.

What level is it to lift a 50-kilogram barbell with one hand?
Let me put it this way, as the world's strongest weightlifting champion, the military god's daily training is nothing more than rowing a 100-kilogram dumbbell with one hand, instead of lifting it above his head.

And Niu Bu, a guy with almost no signs of training, can easily lift a 50-kilogram barbell with one hand.

Well, the reason why Niu Bu could lift 50 kilograms with one hand was not because he could only lift 50 kilograms, but because there was only a 50-kilogram barbell at home.

"The game "Baijia Zhudao" hides a huge secret."

"But I'm a little curious. If the background of this game is so powerful, why isn't it promoted nationwide? I don't see any official personnel!"

"Most players are just ordinary people, not the official top experts!"

"What soldier king? Wait."

Niu Bu was a little confused about this, but if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't force himself to think about it. Niu Bu didn't care about it. As long as he could continue to play games, it would be OK!

As for other things!
Why worry so much? Don’t you know there’s a saying: The more you know, the faster you die!

"I've gotten much stronger recently. I'm going to find a gym to try and see how strong I can really be!"

The barbell at home really couldn't measure Niu Bu's true strength, so Niu Bu opened Meituan and searched for the most luxurious gym nearby, then went to the buffet restaurant to have a good meal.

I don’t know if it’s because of the spiritual energy or other reasons, but the food that Niu Bu prepared in the holographic game cabin is no different from before, and the portions are almost the same.

But when it came to eating in reality, Niu Bu ate very, very much. His appetite was three times as much as before. Even if he was not a big eater, he was almost there.

Nowadays, Niu Bo likes to eat at buffets very much. Although the owner of the buffet restaurant looks at him unfavorably, Niu Bo doesn't care as long as he can save money.

"If it had happened a few years earlier, I would have definitely said it proudly and taught my boss a lesson."

"But now, forget it, just eat your own food!"

These days, with the passing of some internet celebrities who broadcast food live, many of them have learned to keep a low profile and no longer eat like crazy.

However, some motorcycle fairies wearing white silk stockings and without protective gear still did their own thing and refused to be dissuaded.

Facing the strange looks from the boss and other guests, Niu Bu ate until he was 70% full in the buffet restaurant. Next, he wanted to test his own strength, so he didn't dare to eat too much.

Leaving the cafeteria, I took a taxi to a gym called Golden Age.

I heard that Golden Age Gym is a large gym chain, and the coaches there occasionally go out to participate in competitions.

Niu Bu is not sure whether it is true or not, but he knows that this gym is the most luxurious gym near his home, and a single trial card costs 24.9 yuan.

This price seemed quite expensive to Niu Bu. Niu Bu came to the Golden Age Gym and found that although the gym was located on the underground floor, its decoration was indeed quite good. After walking in, the magnificent and golden gym showed off his financial strength.

"Hello sir, may I ask you?"

Before the lady at the front desk could finish her words, Niu Bu took out his phone and handed over the QR code: "Meituan, scan it!"

"Good sir!"

"Excuse me, sir. Is this your first time visiting our Golden Age? Do you need to find someone?"

Before the lady at the front desk could finish her words, Niu Bu immediately waved his hand and refused:

"First time here, no need for a coach, thank you!"

Niu Bu doesn't need a coach because he comes here simply to test his own strength.

Holding the cards in his hand, entering the golden age, looking at a group of people doing fitness exercises in full swing, Niu Bu walked directly to the strength area.

Now that living conditions in the Yanlong Empire have improved, more and more people are interested in fitness exercises.

It was past five in the afternoon, and there were already quite a few people working out in the strength area. After walking around the area, Niu Bu found that all the equipment was occupied, and even the barbell snatch area had three people queuing up. (End of this chapter)
