Chapter 290: Natural Law of the Body (2/2)

They could go on for nearly 2 days with a single meal. That was a lot of money saved for people who needed to spend quite a lot on food.

Alex wondered if he should go eat, but didn't want to feel uncomfortable, so he simply decided to skip today's dinner. However, he did decide on one thing.

He was going to use the helmet for today. He wasn't sure if it was necessarily a good idea or not, but he decided that he wanted his hunger back, so he went to his bed, put on the helmet, and logged in.

Alex opened his eyes inside the game and nearly thought he was still in the real world because of how dull everything was.

He immediately activated focus mode and felt like he finally got his senses back. It was a little harder to control for some reason, but he very quickly got used to this focus mode as well.

'That… feels a little more… natural,' Alex thought. Even after the senses were amplified, it wasn't to the same level as the one from the capsule and honestly, it just felt like something he was able to use on a normal day even in the real world.

'The capsule one is a little too… amplified. This one is way better,' Alex thought. Still, he couldn't argue that the capsule one probably was more useful than this one.

He looked around and saw that Wan Li was back to writing as usual, totally focused on himself.

So, Alex also decided to focus on himself. He sneakily called out Pearl and hid him in his robes before starting to cultivate.

Before long, he was asleep.

Alex opened his eyes early in the morning. He looked around and saw that Wan Li was cultivating. 'That's new,' Alex thought. He had only ever seen him read and write.

'Maybe he cultivates during the night,' he thought.

He sent Pearl back to the tattoo and realized something was different. 'It's still night?' he thought as he looked outside.

He could see the sky light up a bit, but the sun had still yet to rise. 'Oh, I woke up earlier today,' he thought and looked at the time. It was 5:48 am in morning.

'Whatever, let's leave,' he thought and logged.

As soon as Alex logged out, he wasn't greeted with the usual dull sense like when he did from the capsule. Instead, he was greeted by 3 new senses, that he had honestly missed for the last 3 days.

He felt hunger and need to go to the bathroom for both number 1 and number 2. ”Oh sh*t,” he thought and quickly sprinted to the bathroom to relieve himself.

Once he was done, he went to the kitchen to eat something. He was really hungry, so he ended up eating two bowls of cereals by himself.

Once he was done, he went back to his room and got into the capsule. After that, he logged back in.
