Chapter 84

The butler waited quietly on the phone, not rushing to ask.

Feng Yi stared wide-eyed at the number displayed on the scale, taking a deep breath.

"The scale at home seems to be malfunctioning; the error is quite significant."

The butler responded, "That's common with electronic scales. Take multiple readings and average them out."

After a while,

The old butler asked, "How much?"

Feng Yi replied with difficulty, "100 kilograms."

The old butler's originally serious tone became relaxed, "Good, good, good! That's normal!"

Feng Yi: ???

"Is this normal?"

He wasn't just talking about the 100kg number, but the fact that he had gained 30kg in a week!

And it wasn't noticeable at all!

Is this normal?!

Although they were on the phone, the butler seemed to see Feng Yi's shocked face and explained with a smile.

"Gaining 30kg in a week without any noticeable change in appearance is abnormal for others, but for you, it's completely normal.

"During this period, you have an increased appetite and sleep more, leading to a rapid weight gain phase."

Feng Yi continued to be shocked.

Too sneaky!

He hadn't even noticed any significant weight gain during this time!

He looked the same in the mirror!

He had gone from 70kg to 100kg in about a week!

Gained weight secretly and shocked me!

Where did these 30kg go?!

Feng Yi was puzzled, "I don't feel any changes in my appearance. Why did my weight increase so much in such a short time? Where did the weight go?"

The butler calmly explained, "Because the cells in your body are also changing. They are no longer the same as before.

"Only after they are strengthened can they support further evolution. Otherwise, the burden would be too heavy, and your entire body would collapse.

"The evolved cells will form new networks and new signaling pathways. Have you noticed that your strength has increased?"

Feng Yi recalled, "I was already quite strong before the expedition."

Back then, he could drag a three-meter-long catfish out of the water by himself.

The butler: "No, you are even stronger now. After the expedition, after two months of hunger, the energy you replenished triggered a rapid qualitative change!"

Has my strength increased again?

Feng Yi hadn't really noticed. Although he found his strength training easier recently, he hadn't thought about it that way, assuming it was because he was well-fed and well-rested, so his body was in better condition, making the training easier.

Now, hearing the butler's explanation, it wasn't the case?

If it was a comprehensive qualitative change in the cells, that would make sense.

Gaining 30kg in a week without feeling it was due to the comprehensive qualitative change in the body's cells, bringing a new balance. Therefore, he didn't feel any discomfort during daily activities.

"Why so sudden?" Feng Yi asked.

"Perhaps because your body feels a sense of urgency. After two months of hunger, once you replenished the energy, it naturally seized the opportunity to strengthen itself.

"During the evolution, every part of your body is very active, like your teeth."

The butler wanted to use the example of venomous teeth but lost interest when he thought of Feng Yi's two fangs.

However, Feng Yi understood.

Like the venomous teeth, which, after hunger, judged that the body needed stronger survival competitiveness and underwent a second mutation.

The cells in the body, being in an active state during evolution, also had their own ideas.

They initiated a comprehensive strengthening!

The butler said, "So sometimes you feel tired because the energy from the food you eat is not used for daily activities but for evolution.

"Abolish, rebuild. Establish a new balance.

"During this period, you must not go hungry. Try to eat as much as possible to ensure the body has the energy it needs.

"Once the reconstruction starts, it won't stop easily. If there is insufficient energy and nutrition, the risk of injury increases."

To help Feng Yi understand the importance, the butler gave an example.

"For instance, the bones in your body. Now, osteoblasts and osteoclasts are establishing a new balance, discarding the old bones that can't bear the load and creating new bones that can support further evolution.

"While you sleep, this reconstruction work is highly efficient, continuously optimizing the growth structure.

"If there is a lack of nutrition and energy, bone density decreases, bone strength weakens, and the risk of fractures increases."

Feng Yi listened carefully and asked, "So, because of this comprehensive strengthening, the cells have become heavier?"

Each cell adding a little bit, the total weight of all the cells combined is a 30kg change!

"Yes," the butler replied.

Feng Yi thought, This old butler really knows his stuff!

Feng Yi probed, "Did my great-aunt also go through this kind of change?"

Since the first day they met, the old butler rarely mentioned the great-aunt, except for a brief introduction.

Sure enough, when Feng Yi asked, the old butler just smiled and said, "Yes," and didn't say more.

Seeming to know Feng Yi's various doubts and curiosities, the butler said, "Each individual's evolutionary pattern is unique. Different experiences lead to different evolutionary directions. How much weight you gain, how long this period lasts, and whether you can lose weight after the weight gain period, these are all uncertain.

"If you really want to know more about Lady Feng, then strive to evolve. The higher the level of evolution, the more you will know."

Feng Yi was not satisfied, "Not a hint at all? Then tell me what else my great-aunt left for me?"

The butler thought for a moment, "She also left you a house. If you can evolve to the next stage, the house will be yours as a stage reward."

Feng Yi's spirits lifted.

"Where is the house?"

The butler smiled but didn't answer.

Feng Yi changed the question, "Is it a high-rise or a villa? Is it big?"

This time, the butler answered.

"A large villa."

Feng Yi: "I will definitely strive to evolve!"

Thinking about cell strengthening, no matter how much he thought about it, it was useless. He didn't know what changes were happening in his body, and he had no instruments to understand it.

Analyzing these things wasn't Feng Yi's strong suit.

It was better to put these aside and think about how to get closer to the next stage.

For example, eat more and sleep more?

According to the butler, if he could quickly enter the next evolutionary stage, he would get the house.

This was the reward from his great-aunt, whom he had never met. Complete a step, get a reward.

The first time, it was a hundred million.

After evolving to the next stage, he would get a villa.

So, the villa must be worth more than a hundred million!

If this had been yesterday, Feng Yi might not have been too excited, as the money in his account was enough for a long time.

But with the idea of building a private laboratory, he felt the money wasn't enough.

If he could inherit more, he could build his own medical laboratory!

I have to work harder for the house!
