Chapter 84: Health is the Foundation of Revolution
Since the gorilla superhuman (supernatural) picked up the pharmacist, they didn't put him down until they reached their destination.
Feeling ashamed and embarrassed about being carried like a princess, the pharmacist buried his face and entire body into the soft and long fur of the superhuman, pretending to be non-existent.
During the journey, besides the pharmacist struggling to keep up with the physical demands, another logistics team member, a student specializing in mech repairs named Du Ning, also began to struggle.
However, seeing Zheng Kainan still moving forward with everyone else without a single complaint or sign of fatigue, the competitive Du Ning clenched his teeth and persisted without uttering a word, until he truly couldn't go any further.
Chen Yihan looked at his gasping teammate lying on the ground, feeling both distressed and helpless. "Du Ning, why didn't you say you were tired? We still have plenty of time, and everyone can take a rest. Pushing yourself like this will harm your body."
"Captain, let me carry him," another superhuman from the team volunteered.
Although Chen Yihan's team's overall strength was not on par with Xiao Qingyang's team, they had a great atmosphere within the team and were highly united. This was one of the reasons why Xiao Qingyang's team was willing to form an alliance with them.
People who could love and support their teammates wouldn't have poor character.
"Alright, help Du Ning up quickly," Chen Yihan instructed the other teammates.
Due to the fact that this superhuman, who had a beast-like form, couldn't lift Du Ning onto his back by himself, they needed assistance from other teammates.
Lin Weiran and Xu Kaiyang were also deeply concerned when they saw the logistics team members from the opposing team fall down. They were worried about their own team's three members as well.
"Should we also transform into beast forms and carry you guys?" Xu Kaiyang suggested.
"For now, I can still manage," Zheng Kainan replied with a smile.
If it were before taking the enhanced potions, he might not have been able to hold on like Du Ning. But now, although he was sweating and feeling tired, he could still persevere.
Moreover, he wanted to persevere and find out where his limits were. Gu Xiaotian and Xiao Qingyang shared the same determination. Only by knowing their limits could they avoid becoming a burden to the team in the days to come.
Especially Xiao Qingyang, his current physique is not as good as the other two, but he takes enhanced elixirs and exercises daily. So far, he should be the least tired among the three.
If it were his previous body, not only could he walk for half a day, but he could also endure for ten days or even half a month. Xiao Qingyang silently made up his mind to elevate his current body to the same strength as before.
"Okay, if you're really tired, you must let us know," Xu Kaiyang expressed his concern and reminded them.
"Don't worry, we won't play around with our bodies," Xiao Qingyang replied with a smile.
Upon hearing the conversation, Chen Yihan looked at Xiao Qingyang and the other two. Although they were sweating, they still appeared spirited. He couldn't help but admire, "What level is your physique? You've walked such a long distance and can still keep up with our speed."
Such physique should be sufficient for the Mecha Academy. Why did they choose other majors?
Generally, most people with a B-level physique would choose a major at the Mecha Academy, unless they had a genuine passion for mechanical manufacturing, which might lead them to choose majors in mecha construction or maintenance.
The remaining students who chose these two majors were those who had a strong interest in mechas but had a physique level below B. They chose these majors to have more opportunities to be involved with mechas, which were the closest to their desired field.
"I'm currently at the C level," Zheng Kainan truthfully replied.
As for whether he would remain at this level in the future, he didn't disclose it to them, so as to avoid more people competing for Xiao Qingyang's enhanced elixirs.
"I'm also at the C level." Gu Xiaotian remained shy and introverted, speaking softly. Fortunately, both superhumans and mecha warriors had sharp hearing and could hear him clearly.
Chen Yihan's gaze fell on Xiao Qingyang, the only pharmacist in the team, and he asked, "What about you, Qingyang?"
"As for me, I should already be at the C level, right? I haven't tested it, so I'm not entirely sure," Xiao Qingyang replied with some uncertainty.
His physique hadn't reached the C level when he entered the school, but due to taking the enhanced elixirs and having half of it assimilated, his physique should have surpassed the C level. However, he hadn't undergone a proper test, so he wasn't certain about the specific extent.
However, when he fully assimilated the enhanced elixirs, his physique should be able to reach the B level.
"The physique of these two members in our team is also at the C level. How come you don't look tired at all?" Chen Yihan couldn't help but feel envious.
Of course, the two members who were either being carried or piggybacked also envied them.
"Maybe it's because we've trained more," Zheng Kainan laughed and said.
Of course, he couldn't reveal the matter of the enhanced elixirs. They couldn't casually disclose such information until Qingyang spoke up. If it caused trouble for him, they would become the ones at fault.
Lin Weiran seemed to have the same consideration as Zheng Kainan and chimed in, "Let's continue walking. At this pace, we should reach our destination before it gets dark."
Chen Yihan wasn't someone who delved too deeply into things. He asked out of curiosity, and now that the topic had shifted, his attention followed suit.
Although Zheng Kainan and Gu Xiaotian had taken the enhanced elixirs, significantly enhancing their physique, today's physical exertion still exceeded what their bodies could bear.
When there were only ten kilometers left to the gathering place of the Rhino Beasts, Gu Xiaotian and Zheng Kainan succumbed to exhaustion one after another.
Gao Lingqi and Xu Kaiyang quickly transformed into their beast forms and carried the two on their backs.
Now, there were already four superhumans in the two teams that had transformed into beast forms. Their presence suddenly became conspicuous, making them easy targets for other teams or superhumans.
"Here's what we'll do: since having all of us together is too conspicuous, let them rest here for a while. We'll go ahead and scout, finding a place for camping tonight. We'll come back to pick them up later. After all, this place isn't too far from the destination," Chen Yihan suggested.
This way, the exhausted team members could rest properly, their speed could be faster, and their efficiency would greatly improve. Moreover, the superhumans wouldn't need to transform into beast forms, allowing them to conserve their powers and reduce their visibility.
It was a win-win situation, and naturally, everyone agreed.
As a result, all the logistics personnel from both teams were left behind, along with four superhumans and six mech warriors to protect them. The rest went ahead to explore the surrounding environment and find a camping spot for the night.
Zheng Kainan and Gu Xiaotian were truly exhausted to the point where they didn't even want to open their eyes. They had pushed themselves to their current limits.
On the other hand, the pharmacists and mech technicians in Chen Yihan's team had rested long enough for their energy to recover significantly.
Although Xiao Qingyang was also panting heavily, his condition was much better. At least he hadn't reached his limit yet.
The pharmacist in Chen Yihan's team was named Su Zihan, and his gaze had been fixated on Xiao Qingyang. He seemed very curious and couldn't resist his curiosity any longer. He walked up to Xiao Qingyang and asked, "We're both pharmacists with the same physique level, so why am I getting tired so much earlier than you?"
Throughout the journey, Su Zihan had been completely lost in his own thoughts since he didn't have to move on his own. He casually thought about all sorts of random things until he realized that Xiao Qingyang had been persistently keeping up with the main group. That was when his attention turned to Xiao Qingyang.
During the journey, Su Zihan had been wondering when Xiao Qingyang would become too exhausted to continue and would need the help of his teammates, just like him.
However, on several occasions, he predicted that Xiao Qingyang would soon reach his limit, only to be proven wrong each time. And now, they were nearing the habitat of the Rhino Beasts, and yet Xiao Qingyang was still holding on.
Why was it that others were so outstanding when they were all humans?
"Do you exercise regularly?" Xiao Qingyang didn't answer but instead asked Su Zihan.
Su Zihan shook his head. He was busy cultivating spirit plants and studying the process of concocting potions. He didn't have time to exercise his body.
Moreover, as pharmacists, they didn't need to undergo extensive training like superhumans and mech professionals do on a daily basis.
"I exercise regularly, so my physique is better, and I can endure for a longer time," Xiao Qingyang answered Su Zihan's previous question.
Su Zihan was surprised by the response. "You exercise every day? But we are pharmacists. Our duty is to concoct potions. Why should we exercise every day?"
"Frequent exercise helps improve physical fitness. Even if you have a naturally higher physique level, without exercise, you may still be surpassed by someone who exercises regularly but has a lower physique level than you. So why not exercise every day?" Xiao Qingyang replied.
"Because we are pharmacists. Our teachers never required us to exercise every day. Moreover, our time should be spent on researching and practicing potion-making. That way, we won't lag behind others and may even stay ahead," Su Zihan expressed his surprise at Xiao Qingyang's viewpoint.
Throughout his life, the pharmacists or teachers he had encountered had always told him the same thing: to work hard in researching potions, spend time practicing potion-making whenever possible, so as not to fall behind others and even get ahead.
But no one had ever told him to exercise his body.
Besides, it was widely acknowledged that pharmacists generally had weaker physique and poorer health, and nobody expected them to exercise.
"As pharmacists, we should be even more inclined to exercise regularly," Xiao Qingyang said softly, looking at Su Zihan's somewhat bewildered expression. He continued, "Every time we concoct potions, it takes a long time, and we need to concentrate. Otherwise, it's easy to fail. Sometimes, it can take an entire day. If, at such times, your physical strength is insufficient, you may end up failing in the middle of the potion-making process due to exhaustion."
"By enhancing your physique and improving your physical strength, even if you spend a whole day concocting potions, you won't feel tired. Wouldn't that be more efficient?" Su Zihan heard this kind of statement for the first time, but he found Xiao Qingyang's words very reasonable.
He had experienced failing in the middle of potion-making due to physical exhaustion, even when he had a good chance of success. If he had succeeded that time, he would have become a true pharmacist.
