[I am preparing various things.]

”Oh? What is that?” Jinpok asked.

[First, Mr. Joonbum has a serious problem in his body.]

”Problem?”

”Is it a disease?”

Everyone became surprised.

[No, not a disease. But his cells are evolving abnormally.]

Joonbum became curious and Ponus continued speaking.

[It seems Mr. Joonbum's cells began undergoing change after moving through the Gate. First off, the requirement of sleep has been removed from his cells.]

Everyone nodded as they knew very well that Joonbum rarely ever slept.

[It is advantageous as you can work longer and your body also evolve to have stronger physics. But there is a downside to this. Sleep is a must for humans. If it wasn't, then it should have been removed from the body a long time ago. There is reason why sleeping is required for humans.]

Ponus explained.

[Sleeping resets your consciousness and brain. It solves the overload of your brain and lets you rest. It also affects your mind. I am amazed by how you have lasted this long. It seems a stroke of luck had been on your side until now.]

Everyone became grim. Graham then asked back to Ponus.

”Are you saying that the problem will happen?”

[Yes. It will not happen now, but it is a matter of time.]

”What will happen?” Jinpok asked.

Ponus replied,

[I cannot say it for sure now. He will require further tests.]

”And a way to solve it?” Jinpok asked. Ponus smiled.

[You need to sleep.]

”Ah…”

”Haha! Yes. He needs sleep!”

Everyone nodded and laughed. It was a simple answer. But Joonbum looked awkward. It wasn't easy for him to sleep.

”Is it possible?” Joonbum asked again and Ponus replied.

[Yes. When we recover our medical facility, you will need simple brain surgery. It is simple surgery that requires nanomachines to work on the neural network to fix your problem.]
