Rico took a long, hot shower, using half a bottle of shower gel to scrub away the dark, oily toxins that clung to his skin. As he relaxed in the comfort of his living room, he couldn't help but feel rejuvenated. However, his sense of peace was short-lived as he checked the Cradle and noticed that the bug population was once again on the rise. Without hesitation, Rico tossed 100 kilograms of pork into the center of the Cradle and then used his Authority to transfer 1% of the entire world's resources that were generated each year into his body. In this manner, his physique would gradually become stronger over time.

As he took a break from his daily routine to play some games, Rico suddenly felt as though an electric current had coursed through his body, causing him to shiver all over and lose control of his hands. With a snap, his phone dropped to the ground. His entire body's muscles and bones began to condense, and Rico eventually passed out.

When Rico awoke, he found himself back in his room. Frustrated, he muttered to himself, "Seems like 1% was a bit much." He reached for his iPhone 11, only to find that it had been severely deformed after holding it to hard and the screen was dispersed like a spiderweb. "What a shame... Fortunately, I have a few extras," Rico thought to himself.

Realizing that his strength had grown a little too quickly, Rico knew that he would need some time to adjust. With this in mind, he decided to exercise his body on Mt. Conquest. As he threw a stone the size of a basketball seven or eight meters out, Rico couldn't help but compare himself to the fabled hero Herculis. The repressed thirst for power within him stirred as his breathing became deep and strong. He knew that few people were capable of what he had just done, as the stone weighed at least 30 kilograms and throwing it as far as he did was almost impossible.

However, as he continued to push himself physically, he found himself in some comical situations. He attempted to leap over a small stream and ended up face-first in the water. He tried to jog up a steep hill, and found himself tumbling down it. He even attempted to climb a tree and got stuck halfway up.

As Rico continue his training on Mt. Conquest, he couldn't help but add a comedic touch to his routine. He would make weird sounds while throwing the rocks, pretending they were his old bullies or ex-girlfriends. He even started to make up a game where he would challenge himself to see how many pebbles he could throw into a nearby lake without missing. The training was grueling, but Rico found that adding a bit of humor made it more bearable.

As he continued to push himself physically, Rico couldn't help but be amazed at his own strength. He found that he could lift and throw heavy objects with ease, and even found himself leaping and climbing trees like a monkey. The more he trained, the more he realized that his strength was not just physical but also mental. He could focus and control his body in ways he never thought possible.

After six hours of training, Rico finally felt like he had a handle on his new strength. He returned to his Villa, exhausted but elated. He quickly showered and hopped into his Bugatti, eager to see what other surprises the day had in store for him. As he filled up his tank, he couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of paying 500 euros for gas. He knew that with his newfound strength, he could probably lift the entire car and run it on his own power if he wanted to.

As Rico drove home, he couldn't stop thinking about his brilliant idea to plant pricey fruits in the Cradle. He knew that if he could make the ginseng grow quickly and sell it at a high price, he could become very wealthy. He made a mental note to research the best ways to grow and harvest the ginseng and other rare seeds he had purchased.

The next day, Rico woke up early and got to work. He spent the entire day researching and experimenting with different methods to grow the ginseng and other rare fruits in the Cradle. He was determined to make his idea a reality, and he knew that with his newfound strength and determination, he could achieve anything he set his mind to.

As the day pass, Rico's ginseng and other rare fruits began to grow at an alarming rate. Within an hour, the ginseng had grown to the size of a 50-year-old plant and the other fruits had spread everywhere.
