84: Chapter 84: Physique Exceeds 100, Blood Rose is Convinced!

"Xiaoqi, what are you doing?! Those are our food reserves!"

"Wuwuwu, Brother Chen Chen said so! Eat it all!" Su Xiaoqi shouted with her mouth stuffed full, her voice muffled.

Shen Wanxing froze for two seconds before turning to look at the command console.

Shen Wanbing was staring at the communication channel logs, her fingers tapping on the table at a very slow frequency.

"Sis?"

"If he says to eat, let her eat."

Shen Wanbing didn't look up. "He's inside the camp; he needs help."

Su Xiaoqi's SS-grade talent, Gluttony Evolution, was running at full power, and her petite body emitted a visible energy halo.

The golden trait, Gluttonous Feast, triggered frantically. The energy contained within every mouthful of high-level flesh was converted, compressed, and then poured continuously into Chen Chen's body in a way that ignored distance.

Inside the suite, Chen Chen felt it.

A warm current surged from deep within his dantian, spreading wildly through his limbs and bones.

The physical strength consumed by the Succubus Poison Body was negligible compared to the back-fed energy.

Chen Chen's stamina became a bottomless black hole.

System notification sounds exploded in his mind one after another.

Ding! Beauty Su Xiaoqi has consumed high-level food, triggering the LV3 trait: Gluttonous Feast!

Energy feedback successful!

Blood Rose's Succubus Poison Body was still frantically eroding his nervous system.

But Chen Chen's constitution was rising at a visible rate.

The erosion speed of the toxin couldn't keep up with the growth rate of the energy in his body at all.

This gamble was destined from the very beginning.

The waterbed swayed violently.

For the first ten minutes, Blood Rose still wore a confident smile.

But after twenty minutes, she could no longer smile.

Chen Chen's stamina showed no sign of waning; instead, he grew braver and stronger as the battle progressed.

With a violent force that could crush bones, the body pressing down on her became heavier, hotter, and more unreasonable.

"You... just what kind of constitution do you have?!"

Blood Rose's voice was already hoarse. Her hands gripped the metal railing at the edge of the waterbed tightly, her voice filled with uncontrollable shock.

She felt that what was pressing down on her wasn't a person at all, but a prehistoric beast that never knew fatigue.

Chen Chen didn't answer.

Under the absolute suppression of power, Blood Rose didn't even have room to resist.

One hour.

Two hours.

Blood Rose's struggle shifted from active to passive, turning into pure survival.

Not only did the Poison Body fail to drain Chen Chen dry,

But because it was running on overload, her own physical strength was severely overdrawn. A strong desire for survival drove her to make one final counterattack.

A seductive red light flickered in Blood Rose's eyes as an invisible mental wave stabbed out from her mind, turning into a cold mental needle that aimed straight for Chen Chen's sea of consciousness.

This was her trump card for saving her life, Mental Seduction.

However, just as this mental power touched the edge of Chen Chen's consciousness—

Snap.

It slammed into an indestructible purple wall.

Chen Chen's high Spirit attribute of 81 points manifested in his sea of consciousness as a purple soul storm.

"Get back." Chen Chen's voice came down from above, terrifyingly steady.

The purple storm flowed backward, following Blood Rose's mental tentacles to lash back at her.

The needle shattered into dust. The backlash made Blood Rose's vision go dark, and she let out a shrill scream as warm liquid gushed from her nose.

The dual physical and mental suppression caused this once-arrogant Wasteland Queen's psychological defenses to completely collapse.

Time passed minute by minute.

The hands of the mechanical clock on the wall slowly pointed to midnight.

Dong!!!

The midnight bell rang.

In Chen Chen's mind, the system notification sounded right on time.

Ding! The daily settlement for the core talent Physical Overlimit is complete!

Bone restructuring finished! Muscle fiber density increased!

constitution attribute +10!

Agility attribute +5!

constitution: 107.

Three digits.

Chen Chen let out a long breath.

A series of popping sounds like crackling beans came from the friction of his bones.

100 points of constitution—this was the absolute shackle for carbon-based lifeforms.

Having crossed this line, Chen Chen's physical body had transcended the scope of ordinary humans.

His muscle density leaped again, and a thin layer of gray impurities seeped from the pores on his skin. It was the last trace of his shackles, expelled from his body by the qualitative change triggered by quantitative accumulation.

Blood Rose beneath him trembled all over.

She didn't know what had happened, but she could feel a fear seeping from her very bones.

This man's aura was undergoing a metamorphosis that crossed species levels.

"No... impossible..." Blood Rose's lips quivered. She wanted to raise her hand to push Chen Chen away, but she couldn't even lift a single finger.

Her toxins were completely diluted into harmless substances within Chen Chen's body, while she herself was washed clean by Chen Chen's terrifying stamina.

The entire night passed.

Morning.

The pale blue fluorescence of the waterbed had mostly dimmed, and messy fragments of clothing floated in the liquid.

Blood Rose lay limp at the very edge of the waterbed, her wine-red hair soaked and plastered to her face, her whole body curled into a ball.

Her body was covered in blue-purple finger marks and red welts, and she was gasping for breath.

Chen Chen leaned against the headboard with his upper body bare.

After breaking through one hundred points of constitution, his muscle lines became more restrained, but the explosive power contained beneath his skin was suffocating.

He fished a crumpled cigarette out of his storage ring and bit it.

A tiny spark of purple static electricity jumped from his fingertip, lighting the cigarette directly.

Chen Chen took a deep drag and exhaled gray-white smoke.

He turned his head and looked coldly at Blood Rose, who couldn't even manage to roll over.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?" Chen Chen flicked the ash, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Blood Rose swallowed with difficulty.

"What... what do you want? You can take whatever supplies you want from the Mad Sand camp, as long as you spare my life."

"We are all survivors from the same batch of arrivals."

Chen Chen looked at her, his speaking pace neither fast nor slow. "All told, today is only the eighth day. In seven days, you climbed from an ordinary player to the position of vice-leader of this mobile camp, which is equipped with an A-grade nuclear reactor and armored artillery. Those raiders down there all have blood on their hands; why would they listen to a woman like you?"

Blood Rose's pupils contracted slightly.

"You can't achieve this much just with a face and an SS-grade talent."

Chen Chen's cigarette tip glowed intermittently as he leaned down, staring into Blood Rose's eyes with an overwhelming sense of pressure.

"Speak. What secret are you still hiding?"

The waterbed was silent for a few seconds.

Blood Rose suddenly let out an extremely weak laugh, her voice so hoarse it was out of tune.

"You really... can't be hidden from..."

She turned her head with difficulty, a glimmer of light returning to her unfocused eyes, accompanied by deep fear.

"The true leader of this camp... is not human."
