Reno closed his eyes, nearly fainting from frustration with this guy. Whenever he saw a woman, his feet wouldn't budge, regardless of her age - he was interested in them all. No wonder he aspired to be a gossip columnist; he was putting his talents to good use.
Unfortunately, the young nurse wasn't receptive. "Please wait outside. The doctor will be here shortly. Reno, how are you feeling?""Thank you, I'm feeling great," Reno said with a smile. It was the truth - after sleeping for so long, not only did he not feel dizzy, but he was full of energy. He was just extremely hungry."Nurse, you're an angel in white. Please examine him thoroughly later. Don't miss anything that could become a chronic issue. He's still a virgin with a long future ahead of him."Three black lines appeared on Reno's face. This guy would use any tactic to find a conversation topic. However, the professional young nurse unceremoniously pushed the talkative Charles out. Then the doctors conducted a thorough examination of Reno, and the results came back quickly.Everything was excellent, even better than normal. Only his digestive system showed some intense reactions, which was due to hunger. So Reno was cleared for discharge.Charles was a bit disappointed about Reno's discharge. If only he could stay longer, it would mean more chances to interact with the pretty nurses. Reno was so annoyed he wanted to stomp on Charles, but he let it slide since Charles was treating him to a meal.However, Charles soon regretted his decision. Watching the dishes arrive like a flowing river, he finally realized how terrifying the appetite of someone who had slept for three days could be. His weekly allowance was already going into someone else's stomach. If only he had known, he would have taken him to a food stall instead.After another half hour of eating, Reno was finally satisfied. Looking at Charles' gloomy face, he flashed a sunny smile.
"I'm full of energy now. I need some exercise. After not moving for three days, I feel like a mummy that's been lying still for three years."Charles stared dejectedly at his credit card. "What kind of mummy eats this much? Anyway, here are the keys. You go on your own. I need to find a pretty girl to comfort my wounded soul.""Oh? Who bullied you?" Reno asked, looking very innocent.Charles' parents were in the intercontinental trade business and had their own company. Though not a monopoly, they were considered successful at school. However, they were often away from home, so their large, luxurious house had become a hangout for the two boys. Reno was as familiar with it as he could be.The gravity control room was definitely a high-end configuration, not something an ordinary wealthy person could afford. Charles had convinced his parents to buy it under the pretext of physical training for joining the military, but his real purpose was to try zero-gravity sex, though the results were quite disappointing.It took five minutes for the machine to start up. Reno eagerly rushed in. Apart from virtual combat games, this was his favorite. Virtual combat games were developed after humans entered the space age. They could be played by ordinary citizens and the military alike. Players' physical conditions were automatically recorded, and the operation of combat armors was simulated realistically. This meant that to operate them skillfully, one's body had to meet certain standards, which couldn't be improved within the game but required real-life training.
Of course, proficiency and techniques could be improved, and what could be done in the game could be about 70-80% achieved in reality. This was why the military valued this game. Of course, a game was still a game. While physical condition couldn't be changed, the combat armors could evolve, which was also the future development direction for real combat armors.Reno, as usual, entered the gravity room shirtless. His body wasn't particularly muscular, but you could see the strength contained in his muscles. He could now adapt to double gravity, which was said to be the standard for combat armor operators. Unfortunately, there was still an exam to pass. God, wasn't there any way to enter the school without taking tests?Having not moved for so long, Reno felt itchy all over. He rushed in and did a set of standard military training exercises. Of course, all this was set up by Charles' father, but Charles had no interest in it at all.
He had reservations about Reno doing this kind of exercise all day, believing that if one had energy, it was better spent on girls rather than wasted on a bunch of iron.After ten minutes of training, Reno noticed something was off. Usually by this time he would be drenched in sweat, but today... he hadn't even broken a sweat. Had the gravity machine broken down?Reno checked the readings - everything was running normally. What was going on?He gradually increased the gravity to 2.5 times, but his body still didn't feel any pressure. Three times... still no reaction. Had it really broken down?Reno found the manual and recalibrated the machine according to the instructions... still no problem!This was bizarre. Had being hit by a meteor given him hallucinations?
