Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Just then, Tang Youyou suddenly remembered that Jiang Nian had casually mentioned something about her classmate.

She immediately said, "Director Wei, if you are looking for promising new actors who have good acting skills and need opportunities, perhaps I can ask my classmates?"

"Many of them are still studying at film school, so their basic skills are very solid, and their salary requirements are definitely not high!"

"How about next Monday, I'll take you to visit my alma mater, the Drama Academy?"

Youyou looked at Wei Zheng tentatively. Although he knew that Wei Zheng was short of people, he was not sure whether Wei Zheng would think highly of the students in their academy.

After all, compared to professional actors, academy students are fresh out of school and don't have much experience.

Wei Zheng is currently constrained by this advertising script, and he must film the script well in order to have any future development possibilities.

But to his surprise, Wei Zheng responded very quickly.

"Great! I couldn't have asked for this!"

Wei Zheng was overjoyed.

Actually, he already had this idea when Jiang Nian mentioned it to him before, but he was hesitant about how to talk to Tang Youyou about it.

After all, as a screenwriter, not only could he not afford to pay, but he also had to find ways to save money, so he could only get new resources from Tang Youyou's classmates.

To his surprise, Tang Youyou took the initiative to start the conversation.

Wei Zheng was not an ignorant person. He quickly realized that Jiang Nian must have talked to Tang Youyou about something similar before, which was why Tang Youyou remembered it at this time.

"I never expected that I would still need Jiang Nian's help at this time."

Thinking of this, he gripped the script in his hand tightly once more.

Now that we have the capability and can solve the funding problem, we must make a good film.

No matter what, we absolutely cannot let Jiang Nian lose face!
When Jiang Nian appeared in his office earlier, he had already attracted the attention of many screenwriters and directors.

Although not many people came over to eavesdrop on their conversation at that time, it was inevitable that there were all sorts of people involved, so there were already quite a few rumors circulating online.

Everyone knows that Jiang Nian specifically chose him as his collaborator, and Jiang Nian's original traffic and market driving force were extremely strong, so naturally many eyes were on him.

If Jiang Nian fails because of his own reasons, he will be ashamed.

He had no face to go back and face Jiang Nian.

"Since you agree, there's no problem. I'll contact you again later."

Tang Youyou was a little surprised to see Wei Zheng so excited. She had only wanted to give her best friends a chance to make something of themselves, so why was Wei Zheng so excited?

However, since he agreed, there was no need for him to say anything more, and they quickly arranged a time to meet.

Meanwhile, at Jiang Nian's home, the gravity experiment continued.

Despite the pressure of 2.0 times the gravity, Jiang Nian's figure continued to move steadily.

Bai Yongxu stared at Jiang Nian in disbelief.

At this moment, under the pressure of twice the gravity, he had been able to maintain the force for far more than 1.5 times the original duration, even reaching several tens of minutes, and he continued to slowly train his body without stopping.

Despite his nervousness, he couldn't help but relax.

The company's dashboard showed that Jiang Nian's various physical indicators had begun to stabilize, even becoming more consistent than 1.5 times the initial levels.

It seems he has adapted to the gravitational pressure and begun to enjoy the process of perceiving his own subtle progress under such pressure.

"How are you feeling? Do you need any adjustments?"

Bai Yongxu's tense voice came through the speaker again as he stared intently at the screen.

The data was reassuringly stable, but he still dared not relax in the slightest.

Jiang Nian slowly withdrew his stance, letting out a long breath. His aura appeared particularly deep and concentrated under the doubled gravity.

He smiled at the camera, his voice coming through the microphone with a hint of excitement: "It feels great, I've already gotten used to 2.0x."

However, after he finished speaking, he paused for a moment and slowly raised his hands.

Just as he had imagined, the pressure of 2.0 was no longer a serious burden for him, and it seemed that this pressure alone was not enough to help him break through to the Grandmaster level.

"Mr. Bai, what is the maximum gravity you use in your lab tests?"

Bai Yongxu, standing outside, felt a sudden jolt of surprise and immediately understood Jiang Nian's intention. He quickly replied, "In a laboratory setting, with thorough safety preparations and protection, the highest temporary gravity reached was 3.0 times that of Earth!"

"But that's already the limit!"

"Not only is it a huge test for living organisms, but the device itself also becomes extremely unstable after exceeding 3.0 times, with the risk index increasing exponentially!"

"Jiang Nian, you must not act impulsively; you must proceed step by step!"

Bai Yongxu knew Jiang Nian all too well. Seeing his current actions, he naturally knew that Jiang Nian felt the pressure of 2.0 was not strong enough for him and wanted to increase it further.

However, as a researcher and manager in the laboratory, he knew this experimental setup all too well.

Those crazy researchers often stuff all sorts of small animals into it.

Even deep-sea creatures struggle to survive under the pressure of 2.0, and if they were to break through to an even higher level, these deep-sea creatures would be unable to withstand such immense pressure.

Not to mention an individual!
But his worries clearly did not take Jiang Nian to heart.

Jiang Nian didn't care about this at all.

3.0 times?
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes.

While the 2.0x increase was effective for him, it still seemed far from the critical point where he expected to break through the bottleneck.

Was my premonition wrong?
Or perhaps, what's needed isn't just adaptation, but a shock that pushes you to your limits?
"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Jiang Nian responded, but his gaze had already turned to the "+" symbol on the touchscreen that represented increasing gravity.

In search of that sliver of a breakthrough, he decided to take the risk!
My finger tapped the screen several times rapidly, aiming straight for 3.5 times the gravity!
"Wait! Jiang Nian! No!"

Bai Yongxu saw his actions through the monitor and was terrified. He rushed to the control panel and almost pressed the emergency stop button immediately.

Even in their lab, where they face the pressure of gravity, the increase is only a fraction of a percent each time during research; no one would do something like increasing it by half a percent all at once.

When Jiang Nian started moving from 1:50 to 2:00, he had already scared Bai Yongxu so much that he couldn't stand up.

At this moment, he actually raised it to an astonishing 3.5 in one breath. How could a normal person possibly withstand such a number?
Jiang Nian has gone completely mad!
He yelled at the lab table, wanting Jiang Nian to stop immediately.

But it's too late.

Om-! ! !
A buzzing sound, far more muffled and unsettling than before, suddenly rang out.

The entire training pod seemed to tremble!

3.5 times gravity!
"Ugh—!"

This time, Jiang Nian could no longer remain completely silent, and a suppressed groan of pain escaped her lips.

If the previous 2.0x force felt like being crushed by a mountain, then this moment felt like being instantly thrown into the core of a planet!

Endless pressure came from all directions, trying to crush, break him, and turn him into a lump of minced meat!
The blood seemed to freeze instantly, ceasing to flow, and instead, like mercury, it sank heavily downwards into the body.

The brain experienced severe dizziness and stinging pain due to the sudden lack of blood flow, and even temporary blackouts!

My heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst, and I was struggling to pump out the thick, viscous blood with all my might.

Each heartbeat brought a tearing pain to my chest!

The bones made a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound, as if they were about to break under the weight at any moment.

The spine was compressed to its limit, each vertebra was subjected to unimaginable pressure, and the joints were groaning.

The muscles spasm and tremble uncontrollably.

The deep soreness instantly turned into a tearing, excruciating pain!
Especially the weight-bearing legs, they looked like they might break at any moment!

The internal energy within his dantian erupted at an unprecedented speed, desperately resisting the devastating pressure and repairing the damage that had occurred in an instant.

Even so, Jiang Nian still felt as if his body was about to completely collapse in the next second.

"Jiang Nian!!"

Bai Yongxu, watching from outside, was terrified. The physiological data on the screen instantly turned red and emitted a piercing alarm!
It is clear that all the research data shows that Jiang Nian is unable to withstand this powerful gravitational pressure. If this continues, he is likely to be squeezed into a pool of blood.

We must stop this immediately!

His hand trembled as he was about to slam down the red emergency stop button.

"Don't...stop!"

Just then, Jiang Nian's extremely difficult voice came through intermittently.

Though faint, it carried an undeniable determination: "I can still hold on!"

Bai Yongxu's hand froze in mid-air.

Out of respect for the researchers, his body told him that he had to stop the gravity chamber training in time, otherwise Jiang Nian would definitely have problems.

But when he saw Jiang Nian struggling inside the gravity chamber to straighten himself up again, he suddenly hesitated.

"Jiang Nian seems to actually be able to do it. Could it be that he can even adapt completely to 3.5 times the gravity? How is that possible? This is not something a normal person could do!"

Even through the earpiece, the doctor's anxious shouts came from the lab: "Stop! Stop it now! His vital signs are deteriorating rapidly! He could die!"

Even this group of passionate researchers are starting to panic when they see these figures that far exceed standard expectations.

Of course, for these researchers, Jiang Nian's life was probably not that important; what mattered was that the higher-ups absolutely could not let anything happen to Jiang Nian.

If something happens to him, then there will be no more research funding.

For the sake of my money, my future, and Jiang Nian, I absolutely cannot let anything happen to me.

"Mr. Bai, what are you still doing? Press the button now!" the doctor on the other end of the headset shouted at Bai Yongxu.

At this moment, Bai Yongxu suddenly clenched his fist and slowly raised one hand: "No, wait, hold on for a few more seconds."

His hand was already raised. If Jiang Nian were pressed to the ground again by this gravity, he would definitely press the emergency brake button no matter how much he begged.

But now, as he watched Jiang Nian continuously circulating his internal energy, he stopped.

Could it be that I can really witness Jiang Nian breaking through to a new level?
At this extremely tense moment—

It's sizzling!

An ominous electrical noise suddenly emanated from inside the training cabin.

The lights on top flickered a few times, and a very subtle, discordant tremor appeared in the humming sound.

"Oh no! The device is unstable!"

Bai Yongxu and the PhD student in the lab shouted out almost simultaneously.

My worst fears have come true.

The gravity training chamber, under extremely high gravity conditions, not only poses a great threat to the people inside, but also affects the internal equipment.

Under such influence, it is very likely to damage the original equipment in the gravity chamber, causing data imbalance and potentially resulting in even higher gravity.

The next second, the core of the gravity trainer seemed to let out a cry of despair, and the gravity field experienced violent and brief uncontrolled fluctuations!

The numbers on the screen jumped wildly, instantly breaking through 4.0, and then suddenly soaring to a terrifying height.

Nearly 5.0 times Earth's gravity!
"puff--!"

Under this sudden surge of pressure, Jiang Nian could no longer suppress it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Then, it was slammed hard into the ground by the terrifying gravity!

He felt as if his internal organs were being gripped and kneaded by an invisible giant hand, almost shattering!
The bones emitted a series of chilling cracking sounds, as if they were about to break apart at any moment!
The shadow of death descended instantly!

"Oh shit!"

Bai Yongxu could no longer care about anything else and frantically pounded on the emergency stop button!
However, almost simultaneously, Jiang Nian inside the training pod let out a roar that was almost like that of a wild beast!
In the face of near-limit desperation, the stubborn bottleneck within him seemed to have loosened slightly!
An even stronger force was squeezed out from the deepest part of his dantian, preventing him from immediately fainting.

He saw Bai Yongxu's movements and roared, "No! I'll do it myself!"

Jiang Nian moved his feet inch by inch, each step feeling like wading through viscous molten steel.

Finally, we moved to the side wall of the training cabin, next to a physical manual switch.

This was the final safety precaution that Bai Yongxu repeatedly emphasized during the installation!
Click!

The buzzing stopped abruptly.

The terrifying gravity that drove us to despair receded instantly, like a receding tide.

thump!
Jiang Nian collapsed to the ground, completely exhausted, panting heavily.

He was soaking wet, as if he had just been pulled out of the water, and there was still blood on the corner of his mouth.

I felt intense pain and extreme weakness throughout my body.

The training pod door slid open quickly, and Bai Yongxu rushed in immediately, his face deathly pale and his voice distorted:

"Jiang Nian! How are you?! Medical team! Quickly call the medical team!"

Jiang Nian lay on the ground, coughing violently a few times, but slowly raised his hand and waved it to indicate that he was alright.

He closed his eyes, carefully sensing the faint but real signs of the bottleneck within his body loosening.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, which gleamed with extreme excitement and fervor: "It works! It really works! If I could withstand even stronger gravity, perhaps there really is hope!" (End of Chapter)
