After resting until late noon, Mu Cheng pulled himself up from the ground.

"Let's eat a bit, then move on... I hope I can find some people soon. This forest is so dangerous." Mu Cheng muttered as he grabbed some fruits and berries from his bamboo basket.

Feeling some pain from standing, he took a look at his feet.

"My feet looks a mess. And I got no first aid or anything." Mu Cheng's feet were bloodied, with some skin ripped down, barely hanging onto his feet.

Since he had no way to treat his legs, and not feeling safe to stay the night in the forest, Mu Cheng decided to let the small wound be. After all, his body was much stronger than an average man already.

"Just to be safe, I should increase my attributes a bit more." Mu Cheng gave it a thought and focused on the golden finger.

Strength changed from 3 to 3.1... 3.2 and stopped.

"What the..." Mu Cheng looked confused, his muscles did become a bit stronger, but it felt uncomfortable as if a balloon had been inflated to the limit, and no matter how he tried to put more AP into Strength, it didn't increase.

"Let's try the other attributes first... I got a bad feeling..." Mu Cheng tensed up. Just the feeling of reaching the limit from his body, he had a hunch.

Agility changed from 3 to 3.1 and stopped. Vitality went from 3 to 3.3, seemingly the 0.1 left over from Agility had been added as well. But Intelligence remained at 3. His remaining AP reduced from 182 to 179.

"Why did I hit a bottleneck? Is it because my underdeveloped body can't handle more?" Mu Cheng's thoughts swirled as he tried hard to think of the problem.

"Let's try increasing my age." Mu Cheng decided to simply test his hypothesis.

Mu Cheng focused on his age which then quickly changed from 6 to 7... 8... 9... 10. As his age increased, Mu Cheng's body quickly grew.

After a while, his age stopped at 18, and Mu Cheng was just as tall as an adult.

Strength had increased to 4.8, Agility to 4.2, Vitality to 4.9 and Intelligence to 4.1. And all of this was simply from the growth of his body.

"My attributes have indeed increased, and this is just from the growth of my body. And I can sense that I can increase my attributes with AP right now." Mu Cheng felt incredible strength in his body.

"What's the limit now?" Mu Cheng focused on strength and added AP continuously.

Strength quickly increased from 4.8 to 5, then to 5.1

"What, it costs 1 AP to increase 0.1 attributes after 5?" Mu Cheng felt cheated. Just to be sure, he tried adding another AP to strength.

5.1 turned into 5.2.

"Then if I remove it?" Mu Cheng hoped he'd get back the same value at least.

Strength turned to 5 and his AP increased by 2.

"Good, atleast there is no loss. But I remember it only cost 1 AP to add 0.2 attributes in the game, no matter how high my stats were... Is this the difference between game and reality? Then it might be hard to continuously add strength. " Mu Cheng felt discouraged.

"Never mind that for now. Let's see the limit of strength." Mu Cheng shook of the negative thoughts and focused on increasing strength.

Strength quickly skyrocket from 5 to 6... 7... 7.2... 7.4... 7.6... 7.8... 7.9 and stopped.

"What is this strength?" Although his strength did not double in number, the actual increase in strength was unfathomable. A tidal wave coursed across his whole body.

His muscles inflated like crazy, doubling in size, before slowly compressing down. Unlike before, his muscles were now bulging like a bodybuilder's body. Even his height grew from 1.8 m to 2.1 m.

"Let's see how strong my punch is!" Mu Cheng eagerly clenched his fist and rushed toward the large tree in his sight.

But unexpectedly, before Mu Cheng even reached the tree, no to be correct, from the first kick from his left foot. Mu Cheng had already lost balance and fell head first toward the ground.

"Shit!" All Mu Cheng could think was to push forward his arms to protect his head.

*Boom* A small pit exploded from the sudden force of Mu Cheng's push.

"I'm unharmed?" Mu Cheng, lying flat on the ground wondered in confusion before noticing the small pit half a meter wide below his head.

"Uh. I did this?" Mu Cheng muttered in disbelief.

If compared to his 6-year-old body. Then the current him has indeed more than doubled in strength. Not only that, his agility had increased somewhat. The kinetic energy was calculated by mass * speed divided by 2. Not only did his mass increase from his growth, but even his height also increased by alot. His almost 1.2 m height almost doubled to 2.1 m. The tall body allowed Mu Cheng to more efficiently harness his great strength. And even move quicker and explode with even more explosive force.

Mu Cheng's mass and speed had indeed increased explosively, it was no wonder he managed to explode the ground and create a half meter wide pit just from a fall to the ground.

"How did I even stumble like that?" Mu Cheng muttered confused and pushed himself up.

"Woah!" But as soon as Mu Cheng to on his two feet, his body shook badly and he fell down to the ground, yet again.

"My balance! Shit! How did I totally lose my balance?" Mu Cheng's eyes bulged form shock.

"No, this is! Spatial sense and balance are both messed up. The sudden increase in both weight and height messed up my senses." Mu Cheng quickly understood the crux of the problem as he felt his new unfamiliar body.

"I can't stay like this!" Biting his lips, Mu Cheng feeling the chills in the forest, quickly came to a decision and focused on reducing his age.

In no time, Mu Cheng was back to his earlier age, his age returned from 18 to 6.

"What happened to the AP I added to my strength...?" Having some slight hope that his strength wouldn't all disappear back to before as he had added extra after his growth to an adult.

"My strength is actually back to 3.2." Mu Cheng had a wry smile as he saw all his attributes return to its earlier number.

His remaining AP had returned back to 179 just as before, the overflowed strength had automatically be forced out and converted back to AP when Mu Cheng had regressed back to a child.

"Guess I'll have to stick with this body for a bit longer." Mu Cheng said with a wry smile.

The changes were just too big from a 6-year-old's body to an adult's body. It was not something Mu Cheng could get used to in a short amount of time.

He might need at least a week to get used to his adult body, but time waited for no one. With all kinds of possible danger in the forest, Mu Cheng was hoping to get out of the forest as soon as possible.

"Let's find a way out of here, there got to be a road to a village or something." Mu Cheng prayed and started walking.
