From being plagued by all kinds of diseases to becoming a powerful martial arts demon god!

In the rented room.

The panel unfolded in Jiang Heng's line of sight.

-

[Name: Jiang Heng]

[Physical Body Level: 1.0 (Expandable)]

[Talent: Disease Corrosion (Expandable)]

[Technique: Ninth Set of Gengjin Body Strengthening Breathing Method (Completed)]

[Current Status: Mild Pneumonia]

-

His physical body level has been upgraded to level 1.0, and his physical strength has increased significantly.

According to the information Jiang Heng had previously researched.

The increase in strength corresponding to the level of physical body is a "linear phase function".

Take a physical body at level zero as an example.

From the initial level 0 to level 0.99, for every 0.01 level increase, muscle strength increases by 3 to 4 kilograms, which is basically a linear increase.

The leap from level 0.99 to level 1.0 represents a "phased" leap in muscle strength.

For example, Jiang Heng himself.

Five minutes ago, his muscle strength was approximately 450 kilograms.

Now that I've broken through to level 1.0, my muscle strength has increased by at least 200 kilograms.

That is, 650 kilograms.

The flesh and bones of an ordinary person are as fragile as tofu under his fist.

As for physical strength, nerve reaction speed, and other aspects, they have also made great progress.

Jiang Heng suddenly took a step forward, his figure seemingly leaving a blur in the rented room. In the blink of an eye, he leaped three meters away and arrived at the other end of the rented room.

They nearly crashed into the cracked wall.

"good……"

He stopped and estimated that the instantaneous explosive force of his legs should reach about eight meters per second.

This isn't the average speed in a 100-meter sprint, but the starting speed!

If we compare them to the world's top athletes from the previous life.

Their initial starting speed was only about three meters per second, while Jiang Heng's speed reached eight meters per second, which can be described as lightning fast.

Jiang Heng then tested his own physical strength.

Ordinary knives cannot damage his skin unless several hundred kilograms of force are applied.

Although it still couldn't stop bullets, if Jiang Heng were to actually face an ordinary person with a gun...

Seven paces away, the gun is swift.

He's fast, within seven steps!

……

Jiang Heng shifted his gaze from the physical body level to the [Current Status] line below.

[Current Status: Mild Pneumonia]

With his physical body having broken through to a higher level, the symptoms caused by the Ninth Set of Gengjin Breathing Technique could no longer cause much damage to his body.

"Try again..."

He pondered for a moment, still somewhat unwilling, so he simply continued to sit cross-legged on the bed and practice the "Ninth Set of Gengjin Breathing Method".

A few hours later.

Jiang Heng stopped cultivating and opened his eyes with a sense of helplessness.

Not only is the cultivation efficiency pitifully slow.

The mild pneumonia in my body is only showing signs of worsening. To turn it into mild pneumonia, I need to practice for at least another ten hours.

If one continues to cultivate at this rate, the daylily will have already gone cold.

"Alright, I still need to find a Level 1 breathing technique."

He stood up, a thought suddenly occurring to him.

[Disease Erosion] then exerted its power, completely clearing away the mild pneumonia in the body.

This thing is no longer helpful for his strength improvement, and continuing with it will only affect his physical condition, so it's better to just get rid of it.

After clearing up pneumonia, Jiang Heng felt a slight improvement in his physical condition. He then sat down at his computer desk and turned on his computer.

There's no need to rush about the breathing techniques.

According to the information he found on the official website, those who are admitted to the Wu'an Bureau will be provided with a Level 1 breathing technique.

We'll find out on the first of next month.

As for what to do during this time...

Jiang Heng thought for a moment, then dragged the mouse and found a document on the computer.

"Preparation and extraction of high-concentration cyanide..."

"The production of botulinum toxin..."

"Contact information for anglers in the western suburbs of Nanjiang..."

"A collection of newly emerging pathogens and toxins that can be prepared through conventional methods or obtained through available channels in this era..."

Looking at the results of his hard work over the past few days, he nodded in satisfaction.

These past few days, besides practicing breathing techniques for eight hours a day, he has been researching how to enhance his own strength through drugs and toxins.

A number of feasible methods have been found.

The only problem is—

"I have no money..."

Jiang Heng silently glanced down at his phone balance.

As his physical strength continued to increase, his appetite also grew larger.

If he only eats regular pre-cooked meals, he will feel hungry again in less than two hours.

Only by consuming a large amount of highly nutritious and high-energy foods, such as meat, or high-energy supplements, in a single meal can the body maintain its supply and demand.

However, eating meat costs money, especially since this era has experienced a nuclear war, and many areas are still under nuclear radiation, making it impossible to grow crops or raise livestock.

Therefore, the price of food is much higher than in Jiang Heng's previous life.

A high-energy nutritional supplement costs 80 yuan, and a large bowl of pork soup costs 50 yuan.

He now spends one or two hundred yuan a day on food.

In the past few days, the two thousand yuan that Uncle Chen gave him has dwindled to just a few hundred yuan, and the city management bureau's salary won't be paid until the beginning of next month.

So now he can barely afford to eat...

Furthermore, in the drug documentation he compiled during this period,

The preparation of various poisons requires the purchase of various instruments and chemicals, and also the purchase of pufferfish from fishermen.

All these things, if you add them up, would cost at least ten thousand yuan.

With only a few hundred yuan on him, he simply cannot afford it.

Just then.

"boom--"

A loud engine roar echoed through the night sky and reached Jiang Heng's ears through the window.

Jiang Heng's gaze turned cold as he turned to look out the window.

As dusk approached and night fell, it enveloped the dilapidated western suburbs of Nanjiang City, with only a few dazzling neon lights occasionally piercing the night sky.

Meanwhile, on the distant street, a group of tattooed youths had already mounted their motorcycles and started racing through the night streets, the roar of engines mingling with their cheers and screams.

"I almost forgot about you guys..."

Jiang Heng thought to himself, "A level one physical body should be enough to deal with them."

Putting everything else aside, ever since he transmigrated here, the entire West Bin Street has been in constant turmoil every night.

In the first few nights, Jiang Heng was often woken up in the middle of the night, fearing that someone would break into his house.

And much of this commotion was caused by the Ferocious Wolf Gang, which was entrenched in the southwest corner of West Bund Street.

Not to mention that the Fierce Wolf Gang still has guns, which could pose a threat to him.

With both old and new grudges combined, Jiang Heng decided to take action against the gang that very night.

"Hopefully, the Fierce Wolf Gang has some money, and isn't too poor..."

He then pulled out a black trench coat he had made a couple of days earlier, which contained steel plates, from his closet, and put on gloves, a hood, and a mask.

After getting ready, I pushed open the door of the rented room and quietly slipped into the night.
