I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 4: Spiritual Improvement and Social Death [Please collect and read]

The human body requires balance among spirit, physique and qi and blood. These three are closely linked and the gap between them cannot be too large.

His current situation is that his physique is too strong and the other two items cannot keep up at all.

Not only is the upper limit of Qi and blood low, but it has not even been replenished during this period. This can easily lead to Qi and blood deficiency, and in the long run, even lifespan will be greatly reduced.

The spirit is the concentrated expression and master of life activities. All human behaviors rely on mental strength to support them. The spirit can no longer keep up with the rapidly strengthening physical fitness. This is why he has been in a depressed state for the past two days.

"It seems that I can't just focus on increasing my physical fitness. I need to increase the upper limits of my spirit and blood first."

Since all source points are now added to physique, there are no extra source points.

Qi and blood can be temporarily replenished with medicinal materials and food. As long as the physical condition does not continue to improve and the daily nutrition can keep up, the physical deficiency will not be too serious. In the short term, you can still use money to exchange for time to sustain for a while.

As for the mental aspect, even sleeping 10 hours a day is not enough and I still feel groggy all day long.

Therefore, I have to be alert first. My current mental state has greatly affected my work efficiency, causing the speed of acquiring source points to drop sharply.

After determining the direction ahead, Xia Yuan prepared the food and herbs he had bought today at home, and after eating, he went back to bed to sleep.

Take a longer rest today and try to be in a good mood to work tomorrow.

The next morning, Xia Yuan, who had slept for nearly 15 hours, was woken up by the alarm clock.

Because I slept longer last night and received nutritional supplements, my mental state today is a little better than the previous two days.

When I looked in the mirror, although there were still dark circles under my eyes, they were not very obvious anymore, and the abnormal sallowness that had originally appeared had recovered a lot.

"Xiao Yuan, are you feeling better with your cold? You don't look very well. Do you want to rest for a few more days?"

When we arrived at the construction site, Uncle Ding asked with concern.

To put it bluntly, Xia Yuan originally came to the construction site halfway through the work, so it wouldn't affect anything whether he was there or not, so it was okay to take a few days off.

As they were from the same village, he didn't want Xia Yuan to have any problems while moving bricks at the construction site.

"It's okay, just a cold."

Are you kidding? You are still taking a rest. If you don’t make money, how will you buy nutritional supplements and medicinal herbs?

"Well, it's good that you know this. Don't be like your dad and take your health lightly."

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. I went to the hospital yesterday and the doctor said it was nothing serious."

Xia Yuan's father used to be a laborer. Due to years of physical labor and not taking care of his body, his body collapsed without him noticing.

In rural areas, people who do this kind of hard labor have many hidden injuries in their bodies, but they are reluctant to spend money on medical treatment. When they get older, they almost fall ill as soon as they get sick.

After a few more simple instructions, Xia Yuan started today's work.

I felt pretty energetic for the first few hours, but by three o'clock in the afternoon, I started to feel sleepy, absent-minded, and unable to concentrate.

Xia Yuan resisted the drowsiness and mental fatigue and persisted in working for the last three hours. However, his work efficiency during this period was extremely low, and it took him three or four times longer to move a load of bricks than before.

I had gained 0.02 source points at o'clock, but it didn't increase at all during the rest of the time.

As soon as the work was finished, Xia Yuan couldn't wait to add the source point to his spirit.

In the past, every time I added some points to my physical fitness, my body would feel numb and very comfortable, and I would always scream out involuntarily.

So I always choose to add some in a place where there is no one, but now I can’t wait to leave the crowd to add some.

He felt that if he tried his best to suppress it, he should be able to control himself from screaming.

"Give me all the spirit."

He silently chanted in his heart, and then the source of the emptied mind, a cool and pleasant feeling spread from his mind. Then, a cry burst out from his mouth.

"Ah, cool!"

I had planned on doing well, and kept reminding myself to keep it under control.

However, the moment his mental strength increased, all of this was completely forgotten in his mind.

He had no other thoughts, he just felt as if he was in a fairyland, and he couldn't help but scream out.

After a moment, he opened his eyes with an intoxicated look on his face.

Everyone's eyes were on him, and the air was eerily quiet.

Noticing the expressions on everyone's faces and the strange atmosphere at the scene, Xia Yuan finally realized what had just happened.

He screamed out loud in public, and everyone knew without asking how ecstatic his expression was just now. He himself could feel best how great it was just now.

It is true that the pleasure brought by the improvement of mental strength is completely on a different level from that of physical fitness.

The sense of pleasure brought by spiritual improvement cannot be compared with that of the physical body. In that situation, it is impossible for any extra thoughts to appear in the mind.

This strange silence lasted for quite a while.

Finally, Uncle Ding broke the silence and asked while holding back his laughter.

"Xiao Yuan, are you looking for a partner?"

"..."

Suddenly everyone burst into laughter and started lining up to settle their wages.

Xia Yuan was at the end of the line. Listening to the teasing from others, he was so embarrassed that he almost dug his toes out of the three-bedroom apartment.

After receiving his salary, he ran away without saying a word, and only breathed a sigh of relief after running a long way away.

After this incident, he made up his mind that he would never add anything in a place where people were around unless it was absolutely necessary.

After calming down, he felt that his drowsy state had improved a lot. Although he was still sleepy, at least he didn't fall asleep immediately.

If he hadn't added some extra juice just now, he might have fallen asleep right now.

By the time I got home and finished my meal, I could hardly keep my eyelids open, and I went straight to bed without even taking a shower.

He lay in bed for less than a second before losing consciousness and falling asleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I felt much better.

Yesterday's extra training, plus nearly 10 hours of sleep, meant he no longer felt lethargic when he woke up like he had in the past few days.

When they arrived at the construction site, everyone saw him and were still joking about what happened yesterday.

Xia Yuan could only pretend not to hear and concentrate on his work.

It may be due to the accumulation of yesterday afternoon. After only one hour of work in the morning, the source point increased by 0.01.

Shortly after three o'clock in the afternoon, my spirits began to deteriorate again. Fortunately, it was not as serious as yesterday. Although my efficiency was low, I still gained 0.03 source points by the time I got off work in the evening.

After returning home and adding 0.03 to my spirit again, the familiar refreshing feeling came over me again.

Unfortunately, it went away just as quickly as it came, and 3 seconds seemed too long.

Spirit: 0.57
Feeling the comfort brought by the spiritual improvement, Xia Yuan couldn't wait to improve his mental strength. He had had enough of the feeling of his mind being unable to control his body in the past few days.

No matter how strong your body is, it’s useless if you can’t control it.
