Chapter 38: Addicted to Raffles

In Zheng Xiling's view, it's not entirely incomprehensible for a man to do such things, after all, it's a physiological need, right? It's certainly better than going out and messing around, isn't it? So she didn't develop a negative opinion of Zhao Ping'an because of this matter; in fact, this body is quite attractive!

I have to say, as a mixed-race girl born from Sino-Russian cross-border cooperation, Zheng Xiling's acceptance of such matters is much higher than that of an average girl. However, after thinking it over, she decided to withdraw for now. After all, the person in front of her is her boss. If she were to disturb him, there would only be two possible outcomes.

One scenario is based on the premise that the BOSS is relatively discreet about this matter, so he will definitely feel embarrassed and probably think he will be given the cold shoulder.

Another possibility is that the BOSS is very open in this regard, and given that he is currently in an excited state, he might directly push himself into it. At that time, will you cooperate or resist?

This is undoubtedly a very troubling problem!

In the end, she felt that her first time shouldn't be so hasty, so she chose to ignore it, quietly retreated to the door, and then raised her hand to knock.

"Knock knock..."

"Ah! Is it Xiaoling? Please wait a moment, whatever you do, don't come in!"

In the laboratory, Zhao Ping'an's panicked voice could be heard, while Zheng Xiling smiled without saying a word.

When Zhao Ping'an presented the highly technological bionic mechanical leg in front of her, Zheng Xiling was so moved that she shed tears. With her experience, she knew that this equipment had been modified. Her father had bought similar things before, but her mother had only tried them on once and never intended to wear them again because they were just too ugly—big and ugly!It's nothing like this one, which is so exquisite, it looks like a pair of slightly rough real legs!

"Zhao Ping'an, thank you!" Zheng Xiling completely lost control of her emotions and left a faint lipstick mark on his face.

"Uh..." After being stunned for two seconds, Zhao Ping'an mechanically shook his head, "No need to thank me, this is my promise."

He didn't think much of it. In fact, ever since he saw Zheng Xiling in her sexy maid outfit, he knew that this mixed-race beauty had somewhat liberal views. Moreover, in some foreign countries, kissing on the cheek is just a normal form of greeting.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel a bit smug inside. After all, not everyone gets the privilege of being kissed by such a stunning beauty.

Zhao Ping'an didn't bother to ponder what Zheng Xiling's slightly disappointed gaze meant when she left, because he had more important things to do now—continue strengthening his body! "If there really are aliens, we Earthlings can't embarrass ourselves! We must hit above the baseline!" Zhao Ping'an said with a face full of excitement; the thrill of this sudden surge in power was simply too exhilarating!

However, he wasn't overwhelmed by this sudden surprise. To be cautious, he chose to try it drop by drop. After all, while the strength potion is great, if it turns him into a monster covered in muscle lumps, it wouldn't be worth it!

Fortunately, Zhao Ping'an's concerns were completely unnecessary. As he continued to consume the strength potions, his body not only didn't become unsightly, but instead became increasingly toned, with lean and explosive muscle lines that made people feel a bit uneasy!

After consuming 12 drops of the strength potion and stacking his strength attribute to 66 points, Zhao Ping'an finally stopped. At this point, there were about 10 drops left in the bottle, but he didn't dare to continue because just a moment ago, he accidentally smashed a PSSNicomp3000 dynamic light scattering particle size analyzer.

Uh, maybe "slap" isn't the right word to describe it; he just lightly tapped it, that's right, just tapped! Afterwards, this 900,000 RMB American-imported equipment just shattered into eight pieces like that!

"Hiss!" Zhao Ping'an couldn't help but gasp, feeling both the pain of losing money—after all, this was 900,000 RMB!—and being scared by his completely uncontrollable strength!

What if he accidentally touched someone's head with a claw? Wouldn't it just crack open?

"No way! I need to quickly adapt to this kind of strength!"

After realizing the seriousness of the situation, Zhao Ping'an decisively put away the medicine bottle and started walking from the simplest point, step by step, cautiously making his way towards the laboratory door, just like a toddler taking their first steps. He certainly didn't want to ruin his expensive epoxy terrazzo floor with a single misstep.

Actually, Zhao Ping'an really wanted to test how much his strength had increased, but he couldn't find any relevant measuring equipment for a while. It took him a full twenty-something minutes to finally walk out of the recently built Anping Technology Research Institute.

Later, outside on the construction site, Zhao Ping'an discovered a crane parked there. After checking that no one was around, he carefully controlled his strength and walked over.

But even so, the various construction equipment had pressed down on the compacted yellow mud, leaving a row of foot-deep footprints! 

"If someone sees this, they'll definitely drag me out for a beating!" Zhao Ping'an looked at the footprints, feeling quite speechless, and thought that he should clean them up a bit later.

On the mechanical arm of the huge yellow crane, a half-human-height black-painted hook was hanging. Zhao Ping'an took a look and saw some markings on it: Hook type 25t, self-weight 510kg.

"Weight 510kg? Isn't that 1020 jin?" Zhao Ping'an clicked his tongue slightly, not expecting this thing to be so heavy. It seemed a bit like self-torture.

After confirming once again that no one was around, Zhao Ping'an slightly crouched, extended his arms to grasp both ends of the hook, took a deep breath, and pulled upwards forcefully!

"What's going on?"In his imagination, the heavy feeling that couldn't be shaken off didn't come, and Zhao Ping'an looked down in astonishment.

Damn! He really picked him up!

"Whoa, is he about to turn into a Super Saiyan or what?" This thing weighs a full 1020 pounds! Hastily stabilizing the hook, Zhao Ping'an stared in shock and said.

Moreover, he really wanted to say that he had no strength at all just now, and he guessed he had only exerted about seventy percent of his full strength!

This is a very simple math problem, and Zhao Ping'an quickly came up with the answer, "Doesn't that mean... if I give it my all... I can lift something weighing 1457 jin?"

"Hiss!" After reaching this conclusion, Zhao Ping'an was completely dumbfounded, feeling a chill run down his spine! Thinking to myself, no wonder the system notes that special items have heaven-defying effects; this is just too heaven-defying!

If I were to participate in the Olympics right now, wouldn't I be able to break the world record with one hand? He was thinking like this in a very YY way.

It took Zhao Ping'an a full two days to sneakily and barely adapt to this terrifying power, at least ensuring that he wouldn't accidentally step into a pit while walking down the road anymore.

"Again!"

After resolving the troubles caused by the sudden increase in power, he summoned the Artisan System again without a second thought.

Without a doubt, he is completely hooked; this lottery thing is addictive!
