Chapter 18

Boom... Boom... Boom...

"Damn it, you idiots! You call yourselves experts? You can't even open a door in three days! I spent all this money on a gravity device to kill myself? Open it now!"

Li Feng rumbled with a boom, slowly opened his eyes, and found himself still in the gravity room, while outside, Ma Ka's roaring voice rang clearly through.

He moved his body a bit and felt everything "normal," as normal as in the illusion—full of strength all over and... hungry!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle...

The door to the gravity room slid open, and seeing Li Feng, Ma Ka lunged at him. "Holy shit, you kid, you're actually alive! Alive and well! Even Death doesn't want a virgin!"

The warmth in Li Feng's heart was instantly killed by that last line—this guy really is...

A group of staff outside finally let out a collective sigh of relief. The gravity room they'd spent three days trying to break open had opened on its own—really spooky.

"Mr. Ma Ka, we need to reclaim this gravity device. As for compensation, the company will contact your lawyer. You should take your friend to the hospital for a check-up."

It was obvious the overseer speaking was hugely relieved. This four-gravity device was a small, safer model—completely safe in theory. This was its first accident. Anyone who could afford something like this was either rich or powerful. If things got mishandled and someone ended up dead or injured, it could seriously screw the company—a fatal blow to its reputation and stock.

"Get out, get out! If anything happens to my friend, you'll be dealing with me!"

Ma Ka roared like a demon, clearly still furious.

The staff didn't dare argue and scurried off to work.

"Come on, come on, let's take you to the hospital first. If you kick the bucket at my place, your parents will tear me apart!"

Looking at Ma Ka's bloodshot eyes, Li Feng felt deeply moved. This guy must not have slept for days. But yeah, he should go get checked out.

The check results were surprising—Li Feng was perfectly healthy, but Ma Ka had fainted. The doctor said his body lacked exercise, he'd overdone a certain activity, leaving a particular organ weak. Add in consecutive nights of anxiety and overexertion, that's why he collapsed—nothing serious.

As a result, the person who should have been the patient sat by the bed munching nonstop, while the one who should be sitting by the bed was passed out on the bed.

Ma Ka was exhausted; he wanted to sleep for years and years. But the constant rustling sounds by his ear woke him up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Li Feng eating nonstop.

The moment Ma Ka woke up, Li Feng noticed and broke into a cheerful smile. Ma Ka was about to curse, but when he saw Li Feng's eyes, he felt an invisible pressure instantly envelop his entire body. Ma Ka wasn't some naive kid—he had very active psychic energy, that was his little secret. He'd seen some big shots and masters with his father, and those people gave him that same pressure. But compared to Li Feng right now, they were just minor sorcerers next to a great one. He rubbed his eyes, and that feeling disappeared—was it just a hallucination from being drowsy?

"Don't curse, don't curse, I admit it, I confess, cut me some slack." Li Feng quickly grabbed a banana and tossed it to Ma Ka.

Unexpectedly, Ma Ka didn't fly off the handle. Instead, he scrutinized Li Feng. "Tsk-tsk, something's off but I can't put my finger on it. You locked yourself in the gravity chamber for two whole weeks and didn't die—strange, really strange!"}

"Heh, I don't know how it happened either. It was like I had a really long dream, and then I just woke up."

Ma Ka's eyes flashed sharply. "Dreaming? Dreaming under constant gravity, without eating or drinking for two weeks? That's one strange dream—you think I'm a kid? At first I thought you were missing, searched everywhere and couldn't find you. Later I noticed the gravity device was still running, but the gravity room door wouldn't open. Forcing it open from the outside might cause an explosion, so I had to call the technicians. But they said the gravity device was out of control, with peak values reaching over ten times normal. So, explain—what's going on? Don't tell me you know nothing!"

Ma Ka is a future journalist—he's sharp at reading situations.

Li Feng immediately raised his hand. "Ever since I got hit by that meteor, my body seems to have changed somehow, but the hospital can't find anything. These two weeks I've been in a state of sleep the whole time—the gravity device thing has nothing to do with me."

As for Devil Gold, better not tell anyone about it. Otherwise it would definitely cause a lot of trouble—neither NUP nor USE would let go of such an experimental subject, especially when I have no way to protect myself.

"Damn, you really are one unlucky bastard. Forget it, as long as you're okay. From now on don't keep training all day—while you're young, you should have fun, pick up girls, live it up!" Ma Ka nodded and didn't press further.

"Haha, speaking of picking up girls, you're going celibate starting today. You're training with me—the doctor said your body is too weak."

As he spoke, Li Feng's face suddenly changed color, scaring Ma Ka into jumping up. "What's wrong? Did the doctor say something about me?"

"Heh, nothing. I just forgot a very important appointment—it's already too late."

Li Feng smiled slightly. If it were the old him, he might have been beating his chest and stamping his feet over losing such an opportunity. But he was no longer the person he used to be.

Ma Ka looked at the smiling Li Feng and felt that the person before him was both familiar and strange. Could he have been possessed by an alien... that's too sci-fi!

At the other end of Shangjing at this moment, the luxury villa covering over three thousand square meters was already packed with all kinds of magnetic float cars, all without exception luxurious models—it was even more exaggerated than a magnetic float car show. Even in Shangjing, one of the three major cities in the Asian District, such a scene was rare, all because the owner of this place was celebrating a birthday.

The guests were all elites from high society. After all, the birthday of GAD's sole heiress, Miss Tang Ling, was no small matter. Big shots from the business world, political circles, and military sphere had all arrived. This was not just a birthday banquet but also an important gathering for these people to network and exchange. The focus was naturally Tang Ling, and more importantly, other forces were all quite favorable toward this Miss Tang. Apart from her family background, her appearance and talent were quite famous within ***. For such a fine young lady, any elder with young nephews or grandsons wouldn't want to miss out. They all brought along their suitable and presentable younger generation—first to get acquainted. If they could win Tang Ling's favor, it would be an unimaginable help to both the individual and the family.
