Chapter 151 Using The Body Strengthening Pill

<To use the body strengthening pills, one has to dissolve two of them in 10ml of hot water. After five minutes, the solution has to be frozen till it forms an ice cube. Then, it's melted and warmed to a room temperature. It's only then that the solution can be taken.>r

Jack: "???"r

He completely couldn't understand what was wrong with the prescription. It was just to dissolve the pills in water. What was the use of using hot water, then freezing the solution, only to warm it till the solution was at a room temperature?r

'System, what is the use of the roundabout process. Won't the end result be the same, the room temperature solution?' Jack asked.r

[That is just so as the pills can't be used by just anyone. In this way, you can control the number of people that can use the pill. In other words, even if those scientists stole the pill from you, they won't be able to use it unless you tell them the prescription.]r

Jack was at first stunned. Then he thought that the system was really thoughtful. It had already thought of a way of making sure that nobody stole the reward that he had received after working so 'hard' in the ultimate championship.r

But, what was the use of all of this? Why not just say that it needed to be dissolved in a special liquid?r

[The procedures are not for nothing. The hot water is used to activate the properties of some of the ingredients that are used. Then, the freezing will also activate another property. Melting the ice cube before warming it to room temperature will make sure that all the properties are merged.]r

'So, the recipe is incomplete.' Jack guessed.r

[Without the prescription, it can be said to be incomplete.]r

Jack shook his head and decided to focus on what could be done at the moment.r

<To make sure that the effects of the pills are maximized, the one that takes the solution has to make sure that he/she does intense workout. In this way, the cells in the body will be active in the absorption of the pill properties.>r

That was the last sentence on the two paragraphs long prescription. After he was done with it, Jack decided to test it. He had come with all the pills that were produced in the first batch.r

There was a total of 216 pills. According to Walter, they had produced 250 pills in the first batch. All the others were used for the testing that led to a failure. r

The 216 pills, if he divided 2 per person, he could strengthen 108 people. Thinking of the squads that were supposed to be formed, Jack clicked his tongue just thinking of the number of people that would be stronger than the normal human adults.r

To test the effect of the pills, Jack decided to test them on Johnathan. He was currently in a weakened state. Perhaps the pills could help him with that.r

But currently, Jack had a problem. How was he going to measure 10ml of water? Considering that he was currently in a hotel room and not in the laboratory, there was nothing that he could use.r

After thinking again, he simply decided to buy a measuring cylinder. It took him about half an hour to find a store that sold the laboratory apparatus.r

All the same, having another idea, Jack decided to buy an even bigger measuring cylinder, a beaker, fifty small glass bottles and a dropper. r

When he got back to his room, he began the trial. He followed the steps and finally after more than an hour, he had completed the preparation of the solution.r

He went to the living room of the suite and called for Johnathan. This guy was simply playing games instead of doing something constructive.r

Jack then gave him a small glass bottle that contained the body strengthening solution.r

Johnathan took it and looked at the small amount of colorless liquid in the bottle. He wondered what it was. He opened the cap and took a whiff bit he couldn't smell anything.r

"Why are you acting like a cat, trying to smell something before taking it? Drink it already." Jack complained.r

"Hey, I don't know what this thing is. So, why would I simply take it?" Johnathan looked at Jack with a dissatisfied expression.r

"You have to drink it because I'm the one that gave it to you." Jack stated with a straight face.r

Looking at Jack's expression, Johnathan became serious. "What is this thing anyway?"r

"Body strengthening solution." Jack replied without hiding a thing.r

"Hey, you mean that this is the solution of the same pill that you carried from the lab? Hasn't this thing been ineffective? Or are you trying to use me as a lab rat?" Johnathan looked at Jack with a strange expression on his face.r

"Just take it. If you don't want, you might as well give it back to me so that I can give it to another person who knows how to appreciate other people's kindness." Jack snorted as he stretched his hand to take the bottle away from Johnathan.r

Johnathan reacted fast and gulped the small amount of liquid in the bottle. And not long after that, he felt a warm current rushing through his body.r

He was just about to question what was happening when he suddenly felt that the strange poison that was previously restricting his strength being destroyed. What followed that, was that he felt that his strength was returning to him.r

What surprised him the most was the fact that not only had his strength returned to the peak, it had also been greatly enhanced. This showed him that the solution that he had taken wasn't something simple.r

He clenched his fists to test his strength. Feeling the explosive power that was hiding in his muscles, Johnathan felt that he could crush a military armored car with a single punch. He was feeling restless, he really wanted to vent his excess energy.r

Still, he managed to suppress the feeling. He looked at Jack and asked, "How come it's now functioning now? Could it be that you have found the solution?r

Jack nodded. "It's already solved. So, how are you feeling? Any abnormality?" Jack asked.r

"You are strange." Johnathan stated, making Jack fail to understand what he was meaning. "As for the abnormality, I feel like I can fight a thousand men right now. I have completely recovered and now, what is left is to try the strength."r

"As of now, compared to an adult, how many times stronger do you think you are now?" Jack asked. He wanted to know by what degree the solution increased a person's strength.r

"I feel like I'm three and a half men combined." Johnathan stated.r

(A/N: I know that there is nothing like half a man. So, just take it as if an adult is 100kg. A half will be 50kg.)r

"You should try to practice. There should be a good amount of the energy of the solution that has yet to be absorbed by your body. So, you should try doing something intense." Jack suggested.r

"Mmh. How about fighting you?" Johnathan asked as he looked at Jack. He wanted to know just how strong Jack was.r

"If we fight, you are no match for me at all. So, the fight will be boring." Jack shook his head and refused.r

It wasn't that he was bragging. Instead, he was saying the truth. While Johnathan was three and a half men combined, Jack was five adults combined.r

"You are actually looking down on me? You don't dare to fight me?" Johnathan looked at Jack with a displeased expression. Being told that he couldn't fight Jack when he hadn't even tried was something that he couldn't accept. Every man had his own pride.r

Seeing that Johnathan seemed not to believe him, Jack shook his head helplessly. He decided to have a fight with him. In this way, he can make sure that Johnathan can fully absorb the energy present in his body.r

Additionally, he might as well use this chance to teach him a good lesson. After all, this guy had been provoking him over and over again.r

"Why not fight on the roof of the hotel?" Jack suggested.r

Seeing that Jack had agreed, Johnathan snorted before walking towards the door. Jack silently followed behind him.r

When they got to the roof, Jack and Johnathan stood ten meters apart. They had each other's movements locked in that they would be able to react as long as one of them made a move.r

Getting impatient, Johnathan made the first move. Currently, he was so confident that he could beat Jack. The energy in his body was something that needed to be vented and Jack would be a good place where he could vent freely.r

He took two steps forward before punching. The explosive power that was contained in the punch surprised Jack a little. This was actually the first time that he was going to fight someone who was as strong as Johnathan.r

In any case, he wasn't worried. He lifted his right hand and easily parried away the punch. The first thing that he wanted to do was to help Johnathan completely absorb the energy. So, he decided to let Johnathan be on the offensive.r

Seeing that his punch was ineffective, Johnathan threw another one. But just like before, Jack easily parried it to the side. This made Johnathan feel like his pride was being challenged.r

So, he began throwing one punch after the other, not giving Jack time to relax. He increased the speed and power behind each punch. But for some reason, Jack was always able to parry his attacks.r

Getting frustrated, Johnathan increased the frequency of his attacks again. It was also at this point that he noticed that with each punch, his strength was increasing. And so, he forgot about not being able to hit Jack and completely focused on throwing the jabs one after the other.r

Jack wasn't flustered at all. He continued entertaining Johnathan more. Till now, he had yet to attack even once.r

Just like that, twenty minutes went by. Johnathan was already sweating from the continuous punches that he had thrown.r

At this point, Jack realized that Johnathan might have completely absorbed the energy. Flashing a smile, he first held the fist that came before holding the other in his other hand. Just as Johnathan was wondering why his hands were stuck, Jack used his knee to hit Johnathan in the stomach, waking him up.r
