Chapter 14

At night, in the quiet basement, Chen Yang was doing something very painful.

No, to be more precise, it was his right hand that was doing something extremely painful to him.

Feeling the fragility of the host body, to avoid any accidents while he was in deep sleep, the right hand felt it necessary to take some precautions.

This was no joke; the fragility of this host body was almost in the bottom ten, even among the countless star systems and civilizations it had traveled through.

The universe is vast, almost boundless, and in such an environment, intelligent life naturally comes in many forms, but 99% are carbon-based life forms.

This is scientifically inevitable. Carbon atoms can form four chemical bonds, which contrasts sharply with hydrogen atoms that can only form one. Carbon atoms' chemical bonds are relatively easy to change angles, which contrasts with the more rigid silicon atom structure. There are many other similar properties that determine that life is most easily formed by carbon atoms.

Due to similar chemical properties, water should also be the solvent in the life process. So when the right hand crossed through the space-time rift and saw that the surface of this blue planet was largely covered by water, it was overjoyed.

Because this meant that with water, there was a possibility of carbon-based life, and the heavily injured it could recover through parasitism.

Who would have thought that an accident would happen later.

As a result, the parasitism failed, and the heavily injured body suffered another severe blow, leading to its current pitiful state.

But what happened next brought it a bit of comfort. The civilization on this planet had already entered the industrial age, and space technology had developed to a certain extent, which was good news for it.

The only thing that disappointed it was that, perhaps due to the overly favorable environment of this planet, the intelligent life here had extremely fragile bodies.

If the body and tissues did not exchange gases with the surrounding environment for five minutes, they would fall into a coma.

If this process extended to ten minutes, it would lead to brain death.

Not to mention, their sensitivity, nerve response, endurance, and explosive power were all extremely weak.

Even worse, it had parasitized one of the most unfortunate individuals of this unfortunate race, which was truly the worst of luck.

To avoid the host accidentally being hit by a car, stabbed, hit by falling objects, drowned, burned, killed by a virus, or even talked to death, the right hand decided to improve the host's physical condition as quickly as possible.

For humans, the only way to improve physical fitness is through exercise, and it takes years of consistent training to be effective.

Improving a person's physical fitness in a short time is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

This is due to the inherent reasons of the human body. The improvement in physical fitness comes from supercompensation. When a person exercises, the muscle fibers in the body break, and after recovery, they become stronger and larger, which is why exercise increases muscle mass and improves physical fitness.

However, human recovery takes time, and there are limits. Exercise cannot be done without restraint for a long time. In the case of excessive lactic acid secretion causing muscle soreness, exercise not only has little effect but can also cause various hidden injuries.

Therefore, exercise must be moderate and consistently maintained over a long period.

However, this did not meet the right hand's requirements. After a few days of exploring the human body, it gradually began to understand the principles of human body function and came up with a good method.

This method did not involve intense exercise for Chen Yang but only required him to lie down and continuously drink protein powder and glucose saline.

Subsequently, the right hand began to manipulate Chen Yang's muscles, causing his naked body to undulate as if worms were buried in it, from his toes to his chest and back, rising and falling, stretching and contracting continuously.

This phenomenon was extremely terrifying!

It is important to know that in human exercise, it is only possible to target certain parts of the body, and it is impossible to exercise every muscle in the body. This is an impossible task.

However, under the parasitism of this extraterrestrial being, this impossible task was gradually being accomplished.

The reason muscles become sore during exercise is due to insufficient energy, leading to the anaerobic breakdown of sugar into lactic acid, which accumulates in large amounts. Thus, the right hand controlled Chen Yang's entire body, using the advanced abilities of an extraterrestrial being to rapidly break down and synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fully supply the energy needed for muscle movement.

After the muscle fibers broke, it quickly mobilized energy for self-repair, condensing the effects of years of training into just one hour.

As for whether this process would cause distress and pain to the host, the right hand had never considered it.

People often say that giving birth is extremely painful. Chen Yang, who was enduring the torment, was in tears and snot, and he felt that the pain at this moment could only be described by one analogy: giving birth to ten children at once!

"Damn your ancestors, damn your sister, damn your brother, damn all eighteen generations of your family, I'll remember this... ah..."

Cursing, endless cursing, but it did not stop the right hand from continuing its actions.

"Damn your sister, I'm wrong, I surrender, please let me go... ahhhh... damn your entire family for eighteen generations..."

Whether he thrashed about or begged for mercy, the right hand did not let Chen Yang off.

Chen Yang's consciousness was almost shattered, but due to the right hand's control, he could not faint from the pain and could only endure it while awake.

He could only curse the right hand endlessly, from its mother to its father, from its sister to its brother and ancestors. When he ran out of curses, he even cursed the right hand's home planet.

This was as meaningless as cursing Earth, and the right hand remained indifferent.

The soundproofing in the basement was perfect. An hour of screams only made a passing cat stop to listen for a while before walking away in confusion.

An hour later, Chen Yang, lying on the ground like a dead fish, was completely limp. The right hand extended out for several meters and was continuously tapping on the keyboard.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Chen Yang勉强恢复过来，勉强站起身来。随后，他用不可思议的眼神看着自己的肌肉。

八块犹如铁打的腹肌，坚硬无比的胸膛，高高耸起的手臂肌肉，以及健硕有力的大腿，虽然比不上那些健美先生，但却有一种令人惊叹的美感。

这种美感不仅仅是力量的冲击，而是力量与敏捷和爆发力的完美结合。

右手无声无息地回归原位陷入沉睡，但陈阳却已经睡不着了，心中充满了复杂的情绪，既有痛恨也有畏惧，但更多的是发自内心的兴奋。

他能够感觉到来自全身上下的磅礴力量，只是轻轻绷紧，各处皮肤表面就浮现出青筋和肌肉，随意一跳，原地就跳出了4.5米之多，远远超出立定跳远世界纪录3.476米。

不仅仅是恐怖的力量，陈阳还能够感觉到非比寻常的协调性和敏捷，脚一动，往后倒退做了几个后空翻，简直比呼吸还要顺畅。

最后，他凭空倒立，用左手拇指、食指、中指形成三角支撑，倒立单手做了一百个俯卧撑，额头上才只出了一点点汗水，并不感觉有多累。

陈阳有点迷茫了，先是被外星生物寄生，又被外星生物改造了身体，这样的自己，还算是地球人类吗？

(Translation continues from the last paragraph:)

Chen Yang finally managed to stand up, and then he looked at his muscles with an incredulous gaze.

Eight rock-hard abs, an incredibly firm chest, bulging arm muscles, and strong, powerful thighs—while not as impressive as those of bodybuilders, they had a stunning beauty.

This beauty was not just a display of strength but a perfect combination of strength, agility, and explosive power.

The right hand silently returned to its original position and fell into a deep sleep, but Chen Yang could not sleep. His heart was filled with complex emotions—hatred, fear, but most of all, an excitement that came from deep within.

He could feel the immense strength throughout his body. Just a slight tension, and veins and muscles would appear on his skin. With a single jump, he leaped 4.5 meters from a standing position, far exceeding the world record of 3.476 meters for standing long jump.

Not only did he have terrifying strength, but Chen Yang also felt an extraordinary coordination and agility. With a single movement of his feet, he performed several backflips backward, smoother than breathing.

Finally, he inverted himself, using his left thumb, index finger, and middle finger to form a triangular support, and did a hundred push-ups with one hand while inverted. Only a little sweat appeared on his forehead, and he did not feel particularly tired.

Chen Yang was a bit lost. First, he was parasitized by an extraterrestrial being, and then his body was modified by it. Was he still a human from Earth?
