At 1:55 AM on February 27th.
On the road to a remote area.
Zoe sat in the car driven by Rohmund Miguerro, slowly heading toward their destination.
The streetlights were not particularly soft, but their pale glow gently embraced the road, as if the night had taken on a different face.
The cold, white light sparsely and warmly lit the surface, creating a sharp contrast to the daytime chaos and establishing a quiet, desolate atmosphere.
The shadows of street trees stretched long and swayed, dancing gently in the breeze, adding a touch of mystery and melancholy to the silvery gray night sky.
Only the two of them were in the car.
After receiving the notification from Rohmund, Zoe had silently appeared at Magna Paradise Nightclub, much like a ghost, just as they had anticipated.
After completing the task, Rohmund took the wheel himself and drove Zoe to a place nearly ten kilometers away.
As the cars on the road dwindled, they gradually turned onto a small path.
A dilapidated factory appeared ahead.
This was a rather remote, abandoned factory.
Most of the factory area and walls had turned into rubble, with only the large factory building on the southern side still locked, not yet demolished.
This was the first attempt by Nationales Real Estate to transition from the gray market to a more legitimate business.
After the failed transition, the factory buildings in the industrial area were abandoned. Most were demolished with plans to sell the land, but due to various reasons, the land was never sold, and the demolition work ceased. Only the largest factory building remained.
Since Zoe specifically requested a place where no one would disturb them, Rohmund had chosen this old factory without hesitation.
As the car came to a stop, Rohmund quickly got out and walked around to open the door for Zoe.
"Boss, the tungsten steel balls you wanted are inside the factory."
As he spoke, Rohmund handed over a key.
It was clearly the key to the locked factory building that had not been demolished.
Zoe took the key, nodding in satisfaction.
In a single day, Rohmund had managed to purchase millions of worth of tungsten steel, mold it into spherical form, and transport it to this remote location.
His efficiency was commendable.
Most importantly, Rohmund never once mentioned his own achievements.
This made working with him feel quite convenient.
Zoe didn’t have any strong emotional reactions to Rohmund's behavior, but it did foster a sense of subservience.
Rohmund's thoughtfulness was more due to his self-awareness.
He knew exactly what to do and what not to ask about.
Whenever Zoe gave him a task, he completed it promptly.
He never asked about things that were not meant for him to know.
Zoe gave Rohmund a look, and Rohmund understood immediately, starting the car and leaving without hesitation.
Seeing this, Zoe casually glanced around, making sure there was nothing unusual aside from the faint traces left by the truck that had transported the tungsten steel balls the previous day.
She then walked toward the old factory and unlocked the large door with the key.
The rusty door creaked open slowly, and after walking inside, Zoe shut it behind her.
The air carried a musty, damp smell.
The factory was empty, with only faint traces on the ground where production lines once stood.
In the corner, a few abandoned office chairs lay scattered. Exposed pipes hung from the ceiling, some of them detached and dangling precariously.
Aside from the worn walls, ceiling, and floor, the factory appeared to have been emptied.
In the center of the factory stood an out-of-place large iron plate, with tungsten steel balls resting in the grooves of the plate.
They were smooth and reflective, standing in stark contrast to the surrounding dust.
It was clear that they had been recently moved there.
The ground was marked with tire tracks, evidence of the arduous transportation process.
"Ah..."
Zoe let out a breath of excitement as she gazed at the tungsten steel balls arranged on the iron plate.
She stepped onto the thick, solid metal plate and approached the ball.
The ball, with a radius of 40 centimeters, exuded a sense of solid, profound metallic beauty.
Tungsten steel, known for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance, gave the ball a uniquely sturdy texture. Under the light, the ball's surface reflected a cold, silvery-gray shine, its edges smooth and flawless, showcasing exquisite precision and craftsmanship.
Zoe reached out to touch the surface, feeling its cold, smooth texture, the signature chill of tungsten steel.
Anyone seeing this metallic ball, slightly larger than a typical stone used as an obstacle on the road, would never guess that it weighed four tons!
An adult male Asian elephant weighs between 3.5 to 5.5 tons, yet this 40-centimeter radius ball weighed as much as one.
And what Zoe was about to do… was lift it like a mighty superhero!
But she would be even stronger than any legendary hero.
With that thought, Zoe grasped the ball by both sides and effortlessly lifted it off the iron plate.
The ball, as heavy as an elephant, was raised with ease by Zoe.
It wasn’t visually spectacular, but anyone who dared approach would be crushed under its weight.
It was a true display of power.
The next moment, her shoes exploded under the immense pressure, crushed by the concentrated weight of the four-ton ball.
No shoes could withstand that kind of force.
With both feet on the ground, Zoe generated immense pressure. The iron plate beneath her feet creaked loudly as the 10-centimeter thick metal plate started to sink slightly under her weight, leaving a faint imprint of her foot.
"Feels good!"
Zoe walked back and forth on the iron plate, the creaking sounds echoing as shallow footprints were left behind.
The weight on her provided the kind of exercise she rarely experienced.
The movements in her hands grew more intense.
She began controlling the tungsten steel sphere, guiding it across her body. With immense strength and perfect physical coordination, she made the sphere hover over her modest chest, shoulders, arms, and neck.
This caused the footprints she left on the metal plate to deepen, and the screeching noise grew louder.
"Comfortable! Refreshing! Perfect!"
Zoe excitedly embraced the tungsten sphere and leaped off the metal plate, which was only a few square meters in size.
The immense weight concentrated on her feet.
Along with the impact from the jump,
Zoe landed, immediately crushing the surface layer of the concrete and sinking into it until just above her ankles.
Compared to leaving only a faint impression on the metal plate, the feeling of directly pushing into the concrete floor was exhilarating.
She couldn't help but let out an excited roar.
The urge to destroy was hidden deep inside everyone.
Without hesitation, Zoe lifted the four-ton tungsten sphere and began jumping, each step leaving five to six centimeters of deep footprints.
Frog jumps, push-ups, running...
With the tungsten sphere as added weight, Zoe tore apart the vast old factory floor, leaving no sign of any flat surface.
Anyone who came in would only think the floor had been drilled inch by inch.
Even seeing the scattered footprints, they'd assume someone had walked back and forth across the damaged ground.
After a while, seeing the destroyed floor all around her,
Zoe gradually stopped her training.
Feeling her body rapidly recovering, she experienced a sense of satisfaction.
Yes, satisfaction!
It was the same feeling she had when battling the waves at the beach—an overwhelming sense of freedom.
The sensation of unleashing power freely was incredibly refreshing.
Though her control was formidable,
She never broke things like water faucets in daily life.
But she still often felt that the world around her was fragile.
If she wanted to, everything would shatter like a spiderweb.
Feeling the thrill within her,
Zoe knew that such weight training was something she should keep up with.
However, looking at the battered floor around her,
She realized that if she trained at home, it wouldn’t take long before she would crush the floor and drop straight down to the Benny's e-sports room downstairs.
That wouldn't be good.
It was best to train in a place like this, where destruction didn't matter.
Zoe thought that she might need to tweak her short-term plan slightly.
She'd increase her training hours during the early morning or night and head to this place to train with the tungsten sphere.
Thinking this, Zoe made some minor adjustments to her short-term plan 6.0 in her mind.
Short-term Plan 6.0:
-
In the morning, at 7 AM, train heat vision by using heated snake soup, and have warm snake soup for breakfast. Followed by muscle tremor exercises until exhaustion, then continue with another two hours of training.
-
At 11 AM, prepare a snake meat meal for lunch and call the snake meat vendor to remind them to prepare fresh snake meat for the next day.
-
At 2 PM, study signal modulation and demodulation techniques, either with Benny or independently, for two hours.
-
At 6 PM, do muscle tremor exercises again, then start preparing dinner with snake meat and cook snake soup for the following morning.
-
At 9 PM, continue experimenting with influencing different plant groups using killing intent. Track growth trends for a week or two. If no changes occur, end the experiment regardless of material waste.
-
At 10 PM, go to Magna Paradise Nightclub for 4.0 Transparent World training, including visual, auditory, olfactory, and mental abilities. Train telekinesis and emotion sensing, especially telekinetic precision and sustainability.
-
At 10:30 PM, go to the old factory to train with the tungsten steel sphere.
-
At 11:30 PM, do the final muscle tremor training of the day and record the muscle tremor data, other bodily changes, and the plan for the next day.
-
At 12 AM, return home and start online writing (using telekinesis to type, also training telekinesis' endurance and accuracy).
-
If special situations arise, pause the first eight activities, but continue with body data recording whenever possible.
-
Use remaining free time for leisure activities.
The new plan mainly adjusts the nighttime schedule. The plant experiment now happens at 9 PM, followed by the Transparent World, emotion training, and tungsten sphere weight training at the old factory.
This adjustment made Zoe realize her evenings would become busier, but it also felt fulfilling.
After making these adjustments,
Zoe felt satisfied, placing the tungsten sphere back into the groove on the metal plate.
She glanced at the time, noting it was already past 3 AM, and decided it was time to go home.
Though it felt great training with such a heavy object, Zoe knew she couldn't spend all her time doing it.
She had other things to attend to.
She couldn’t let herself become a monster only focused on training.
Thanks for the chapter
