The pages of the book flipped rapidly, and knowledge of computer language programming flooded Chen Mo's mind like water into a thirsty sponge. He absorbed computer knowledge and technology greedily, rapidly gaining expertise in the subject.
His plan was to read 100 books in this period and then acquire a software technology from the technology library to start making money.
Unbeknownst to him, the library was now nearing closing time. The crowd had dispersed, leaving only a few remaining individuals.
Chen Mo returned the book to its original position and left the library accompanied by Xiao Yu.
"Are you coming tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow is Monday, so I have to attend classes. In the evening, I'll be busy with my accounting test," Xiao Yu replied, her gaze lingering on Chen Mo with a hint of curiosity.

The pages of the book flipped rapidly, and knowledge of computer language programming flooded Chen Mo's mind like water into a thirsty sponge. He absorbed computer knowledge and technology greedily, rapidly gaining expertise in the subject.
Once he had read a hundred books, Chen Mo planned to take a software technology from the technology library and use it to make money.
Unbeknownst to him, the library was about to close. Most people had already left, leaving only a few behind.
Chen Mo returned the book to its original position and left the library with Xiao Yu.
"Will you come tomorrow?" he asked.
"Tomorrow is Monday, so I have to attend classes. In the evening, I'll be busy with my accounting test," Xiao Yu replied, her gaze lingering on Chen Mo with a hint of curiosity.
"Do you feel that I've become more handsome?" Chen Mo inquired, acknowledging the change he felt within himself.
Xiao Yu smiled. While in the library, she had sensed the change in Chen Mo but refrained from asking at that time. Now, upon closer examination, she could see a noticeable difference.
"It feels different from yesterday," Xiao Yu nodded.
Xiao Yu smiled like a blooming flower, admitting that she did feel this way. Chen Mo, now, exuded more confidence compared to yesterday and had a certain aura about him.
"Let's go. I'll accompany you back."
Taking Xiao Yu's hand into his own. He felt her hand trembling slightly, but after a brief struggle, she allowed him to hold it. Her face turned slightly rosy, displaying a shy smile that wasn't very noticeable in the dimly lit night.
As they walked, Xiao Yu's expression changed, and she looked down at the grip of Chen Mo's hand, her body tensing up.
Concerned, Chen Mo asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"My hand hurts," Xiao Yu replied, pointing to the hand held by Chen Mo. The strength of his grip had been a bit too much for her.
"Oh!" Chen Mo quickly released her hand. Unaccustomed to controlling his newfound strength, coupled with his recent unconscious power state, he had applied too much force.
"Sorry, I was a little nervous and exerted too much pressure. Let me take a look." Chen Mo gently held Xiao Yu's hand again, this time ensuring his movements were as slow and light as possible.
Under the light, Chen Mo could see several dark red marks on the back of Xiao Yu's fair hand.
Watching Chen Mo delicately inspect her hand, his concern evident to avoid causing any further harm, Xiao Yu's face flushed, the redness quickly spreading to the roots of her ears.
"It's probably bruised. I'm sorry," Chen Mo smiled apologetically.
Side by side, they continued walking towards the dormitory area. Chen Mo felt deeply frustrated, he had ruined a good moment and and injured her hand.
On the way, he resolved to start learning how to control his newfound strength from tomorrow onwards, to prevent any potential harm in the future.
As he contemplated this, he suddenly felt something soft in the palm of his hand. Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yu blushing and holding his hand tightly.
"I'm sorry," Chen Mo gently held her hand. "Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Yeah," Xiaoyu nodded slightly, leaning her body against Chen Mo's.
They wandered along the school road until the dormitory closed, and then Chen Mo briskly walked Xiao Yu back before heading off himself.
Binhai, a second-tier city in China, was not excessively bustling like Donghai City, but it boasted a pleasant environment.
The morning air on campus was refreshing and serene, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. The avenue within the university was filled with elderly people exercising, teachers and students going for morning runs, all contributing to the tranquility of the morning. A sanitation worker diligently swept away fallen leaves from the road.
Since he had already undergone preliminary development of his human potential, he was cautious not to be too forceful. He needed to adapt and engage in activities as naturally as possible. Holding Xiao Yu's hand the previous night had already caused some trouble for him.
Without learning to control his newfound strength, engaging in a fight might result in accidental harm or even fatality.
Human potential development involved using pharmaceuticals to activate bodily strength, while equipment facilitated rapid adaptation to the increased power, ensuring its proper utilization.
As he entered the gym, a male fitness instructor wearing a sports vest and boasting bulging muscles approached him.
"Hello, my name is Dong Li, and I'm a professional coach here," Dong Li greeted him. "Are you new here? This area is for aerobic equipment, while here we have the strength equipment. Next to that is physical bodybuilding. Which part of your body would you like to exercise? I can offer advice or help you develop an exercise plan."
"What areas can I exercise?" Chen Mo inquired.
"Uh?" Dong Li was taken aback but quickly regained his composure with a smile. He hadn't expected such a response and didn't know how to reply.
"I've recently gained some energy and want to get accustomed to it," Chen Mo explained. "Where can I find the comprehensive training devices?"
"They're on the other side," Dong Li pointed towards the edge of the gym. "Follow me."
As they walked towards the comprehensive training devices, Dong Li listed the available options, "Here, we have the pulldown, Seated Cable Row, rowing machine, high pulley and other if you want."
"You go ahead and continue with your work. I'll manage on my own," Chen Mo said.
"Sure, let me know if you need any assistance."
Once Dong Li left, Chen Mo adjusted the weights to the maximum, sat on the trainer, and held the armrests with his arms wide open. As someone who had never tried fitness before, he felt a surge of excitement experiencing it for the first time.
The maximum weight available was 256 pounds, which fueled Chen Mo's eagerness to test his strength after undergoing the potential development. He wanted to see just how powerful he had become.
1, 2, 3...
Chen Mo slowly pull the Lat Pull Down Machine, his body tensed, and his muscles bulged, showcasing his power and beauty.
After completing ten reps, Chen Mo paused, his forehead glistening with sweat. He felt that he could do more, but his goal wasn't to build muscles; it was to adapt to his newfound strength.
His heart trembled at the realization that the development of human potential was far more terrifying than he had imagined. It could turn an ordinary person into someone with such tremendous strength, surpassing even a fitness coach in terms of power.
The thought of such a potent technology falling into the wrong hands, like terrorists, and being used to create a super-special force, sent a shiver down Chen Mo's spine. The pharmaceutical formula was certainly not suitable for the current market.
After a brief experiment, Chen Mo began training according to the recorded instructions. His hands, legs, and every muscle in his body needed to be trained as specified.
Comprehensive development was crucial to unleash the full potential of the human body, as mentioned in the development technology. It was not just about adapting to strength but also increasing muscle toughness and endurance.
The gym's comprehensive training devices provided him with the perfect tools to achieve this goal.
An hour later, Chen Mo stepped away from the training corners and moved towards a nearby sandbag to practice controlling his punches.
In the records of the potential development techniques, there were several sets of professional combat techniques designed for self-defense and adapting to newfound strength. Chen Mo now understood why Shu Lao had recommended the human potential development technology over other money-making technology.
The body was the foundation of any endeavor.
Besides strengthening his body and enhancing its immunity, these fighting skills also granted him the ability to protect himself in unforeseen circumstances.
After all, no matter how many technologies he acquired from the technology library in the future, it would be of no use if he couldn't protect himself in a critical situation.
Money was merely an external factor, while his own strength was of utmost importance.
Following the boxing training, Chen Mo seemed as tireless, continuing his workout on the treadmill.
Two and a half hours might not seem very long, but it wasn't short either. He persisted until half past nine before finally leaving the gym and rushing back to school.
