With proper training and a minimal boost from these medications, in just one month, you can achieve a physique comparable to Allen Iverson, maximizing your body's athletic potential!
Angers's persuasive, deep voice and enticing words, like the devil's whispers, were incredibly seductive.
"So, Gul'dan, what's the price?" Gao Kui's throat bobbed. The thought of getting a great physique and off-the-charts athletic ability after just one month of training was incredibly tempting.
"The price is that these drugs all have side effects!"
Chen Motong, who was quite knowledgeable, snapped her suitcase shut and told Gao Kui the truth: "I don't know about the other drugs that don't have names, but I know a little about Methenolone."
Among all the medications that help with fitness and muscle building, Methenolone is considered relatively mild, but long-term or excessive use can still lead to abnormal liver function and endocrine disorders.
Other drugs also have a variety of side effects, and some of them are even dozens or hundreds of times more severe than Methenolone.
American athletes who used performance-enhancing drugs suffered from various long-term effects, and many led miserable lives after retirement.
After a pause, Chen Motong complained to Angers, seemingly with a hint of resentment, "Principal Angers, there's no need to make Gao Kui use these things. He hasn't even enrolled yet. He has four whole years to work out."
Chen Motong's meaning was clear: she did not support Gao Kui using drugs to achieve quick results, as such things would only cause suffering for anyone who used them.
"Ah, so there are side effects!?" Xia Mi covered her mouth and clicked her tongue in surprise.
Chu Zihang, pedaling along, also had some concerns. He, too, did not support Gao Kui's use of medication. The Chinese firmly believe that all medicines have some degree of toxicity, and have historically held a conservative attitude towards their use.
"Theoretically, there are some side effects, but they are not serious."
Despite being exposed, Angers remained calm and explained: "First of all, apart from conventional drugs such as Methenolone that have been market-tested and have very few side effects, all the other drugs were specially developed and formulated by the Kassel Logistics Department in conjunction with the Alchemy Department, based on Gao Kui's personal experience. A large number of rare raw materials were used in the development process, and the side effects are negligible."
For ordinary people, the toxicity of Gao Kui's blood may be hundreds or thousands of times more potent than these drugs.
Secondly, the physical functions and resistance of hybrids far exceed those of ordinary humans. Gao Kui is a hybrid among hybrids, the dragon among dragons, and his powerful bloodline can further reduce the side effects.
By offsetting the effects of one ingredient with another, the side effects of these drugs can be reduced to near zero. It can be said that these drugs are exclusively Gao Kui's Bodhi snake gall, blood bodhi, and phoenix blood dragon essence!
In fact, Angers lied.
What kind of special drug could be developed and customized based on Gao Kui's personal genes? Even if Kassel is full of hidden talents, developing such a drug would not be easy.
The medications in the suitcase were actually common drugs on the market such as Mibolone, Concordone, and Trenbolone, only with their original labels removed.
If you use it exactly as indicated on the label, not only mixed-race individuals, but even ordinary people with a skinny build can develop a physique comparable to a fitness coach within a month.
The price to pay is a host of long-term consequences, including liver failure, severe damage to the nervous system, and weakened cardiovascular system, and may even lead to death.
However, Gao Kui did not have those problems when using these drugs.
Angers knew about Gao Kui's situation. With Gao Kui's remaining but still miraculous powers, as long as he believed it to be true, a bottle of Red Bull could produce the effects of Golden Elixir and Bloodline Refining Agent.
However, this was the first time in four years that Angers had truly taken action against Gao Kui's powers, and he was afraid that taking too big a step would reduce Gao Kui's trust in him.
To be on the safe side, they didn't dare to go too far, so they just made a bunch of "dragons" and concealed most of the serious side effects, deliberately leaving out Methenolone, which had the fewest side effects, to gain Gao Kui's trust.
Just like students grading each other's papers, they never give each other 100 points, but rather 90-98 points. Leaving a small flaw makes it seem more real.
The side effects of Methenolone can indeed be largely offset by Gao Kui's bloodline. As for the other side effects, which are like deadly poisons, Angers vaguely said that they were almost non-existent. Gao Kui believed him, so they really were almost non-existent.
It must be said that Angers' lie was so convincing that everyone on the ship except Finger believed it. They genuinely thought that Kassel could produce a fitness drug with minimal side effects specifically for Gao Kui.
Chen Motong was somewhat persuaded: "If the side effects are really negligible, then it can indeed be used. However, I still think it's better to let Gao Kui build muscle naturally."
"Won't Brother Ai turn into a pointy-headed, dull-witted, incoherent, and illogical idiot?" Xia Mi patted Gao Kui's head.
"No," Angers said with a smile and a shake of his head.
As long as Gao Kuixin's side effects are minimal, his brain certainly won't become sharp. As for being dull-witted and speaking illogically...
Isn't this his usual state, or even worse?
Angers further enticed, saying, "He will only have a perfect streamlined body in a month, with every muscle in his body being extremely resilient and explosive. His six-pack abs will make anyone's nose bleed. He can do thousands of squats in one go while holding a little girl like you without even breaking a sweat."
"Stop talking, stop talking, I'm going to get a nosebleed!" Xia Mi covered her face with her hands, feigning shyness.
"Of course, whether or not to use the medicine is up to Gao Kui to decide." Angers left the decision to Gao Kui.
“I have no reason not to use it,” Gao Kui shrugged.
Few can resist the temptation to have a perfect figure and athletic ability with just one month of dedicated training.
Not to mention, Gao Kui himself was detached from the world. He wouldn't actively seek death, but he also didn't have much of a desire to live.
Even if those drugs had extremely serious side effects, Gao Kui didn't care to use them; at worst, he would just die.
Chapter 85 Jin Province
The old cadre's enamel water cup, coated with ceramic glaze, contains houttuynia cordata herbal tea, a local favorite. It's a special drink, so special that most people feel physically uncomfortable just from smelling it.
Today is the third and last day since Principal Angers arrived in FZ. After today, Angers will leave, but not to return to Chicago, USA, but to Yuncheng, Shanxi Province, where he is said to be going to investigate some historical sites.
Chu Zihang and Angers sat quietly by the window of the dean's office, gazing out through the gaps in the blinds.
Under the lush, old sycamore tree, Gao Kui was sweating profusely, doing push-ups on the ground, his arms trembling. Xia Mi, who had nothing else to do, sat on Gao Kui's waist with her legs crossed, cheering him on and acting as a weight for him.
"You're very energetic, aren't you?"
Holding a cup of iced vanilla milk tea, Angers gazed out the window with deep eyes and sighed, "Watching young people enjoy their youth and interacting with them is one of my favorite things to do."
Every time I see outstanding young people, it reminds me of my own youth more than a hundred years ago.
"Principal, you are still very young." Chu Zihang's words were not a compliment.
Angers possessed an intense, almost overflowing, tenacious vitality, brimming with youthful vigor. Ignoring his appearance and judging solely by his demeanor, he seemed even younger than Chu Zihang and Gao Kui.
Chu Zihang was mostly taciturn, while Gao Kui was often quite listless and lifeless.
“I think so too.” Angers looked smug.
In the world of mixed-race people, there are actually quite a few people around his age, such as the reclusive Lin Fenglong, the Night Watchman whose waistline is so thick it could be used as a swimming ring, and the old monsters from some active families in China...
But he alone still maintains plenty of energy, flying all over the world, exploring dragon ruins, hunting down real dragons, and incidentally encountering a beautiful woman for a memorable one-night stand.
"Compared to this old man, you seem more old and senile."
Angers looked at the enamel water cup in Chu Zihang's hand: "Houttuynia cordata herbal tea, it reminds me of Yanjing's fermented mung bean juice."
Guderian told me that even locally, not everyone can tolerate the taste; the vast majority of those who enjoy this herbal tea are elderly.
"Actually, I don't really like drinking it."
Chu Zihang rubbed the teacup with his palm: "My dad recommended this to me. A few days ago, I told him that my tooth hurt a lot, and he said it might be because I had too much internal heat, so he told me to drink some of this."
"Toothache is not necessarily caused by internal heat; it could also be caused by wisdom teeth or cavities. It's best to see a dentist for treatment."
Angers changed the subject and started talking about Chu Zihang's father: "Your biological father is Chu Tianjiao, right? I remember him. In his year, Kassel produced two S-class students. One was him, and the other was Gao Kui's father, who was the previous generation's prince of Northern Qi."
More than twenty years ago, the two of them had a good relationship. Twenty years later, you and Gao Kui have become friends again; your two families are truly destined for each other.
“My dad said the same thing.”
Chu Zihang nodded slightly. Since Chu Tianjiao returned, he had been chatting with her almost every day, and he had learned a lot about his father's life before he met his mother.
According to Chu Tianjiao, the Chu family was a mixed-race family with a long history in China. However, due to historical reasons, they left their homeland and went abroad in modern times, and gradually declined, just like the Gao family and many other mixed-race families in China.
Starting with Chu Tianjiao's generation, the Chu family, whose population was dwindling, began to intersect and have a connection with the Gao family, which then continued through Chu Zihang and Gao Kui by chance.
Just like the Zeppeli and Joestar families in the JoJo series.
"Speaking of your father, I happen to be meeting him soon. Is there anything you'd like me to tell him, or anything you'd like me to give him?"
"You want to meet my father?" Chu Zihang asked, somewhat puzzled.
After coming down from the overpass, Chu Tianjiao disappeared without a trace, only returning to see Chu Zihang once at the beginning of the month when he celebrated his birthday, and then leaving again in a hurry, as if he was busy with something.
"Didn't I mention before that I was going to Yuncheng in Shanxi Province to explore some historical site? Your father will be going too, and we'll meet then."
“He never told me this.”
"He may have signed some kind of confidentiality agreement, or he may be afraid you'll worry. The ruins in Shanxi Province are very dangerous, and I can't reveal too much. Based on the current information, it may be related to a certain sub-species or the Dragon King."
Is it a next-generation species or a Dragon King?
Chu Zihang thought of Odin in the Nibelungen overpass. According to his father's analysis, Odin was very likely a secondary species or a dragon king. If real dragons like Odin were to emerge from the ruins in Jincheng, it would indeed be very dangerous.
Without Gao Kui's sudden divine intervention, Chu Tianjiao definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat Odin. The principal will also be going this time, and there might be other super hybrids as well; spreading the danger out should make things safer…
wrong.
Chu Zihang suddenly looked up, noticing a key point in Angers' words: "You said my father might have signed some kind of confidentiality agreement, which means you don't know much about his current situation?"
It is indeed possible that Chu Tianjiao signed some kind of confidentiality agreement, just like students in Kassel sign the Abraham Blood Pact before enrollment.
Koange is the principal of Kassel.
How could Angers not know if Chu Tianjiao had signed some kind of confidentiality agreement? But his tone clearly indicated that he was not quite sure whether Chu Tianjiao had signed any confidentiality agreement.
"Didn't he tell you that he recently changed jobs? Well, strictly speaking, it wasn't exactly a job change, more like a temporary transfer or secondment?"
Angers explained, "Let me put it in a way you can understand. I, the principal of Kassel, am similar to the Zhou emperor in ancient China."
As the nominal ruler of the world, the forces I can directly mobilize are actually only the students in Kassel and the members of the Kassel Executive Department headquarters.
Besides its headquarters, Kassel also has branches in many countries, such as the executive bureau in Japan, which is like the vassal states enfeoffed by the Zhou emperor in ancient times. They are nominally under my jurisdiction, but you know the actual situation without me having to explain.
Your father was recently transferred from headquarters to a... very interesting special department. Anyway, he's no longer under my jurisdiction.
Ultimately, Angers was merely the leader of the Secret Society, not its dictator. He could coordinate the various factions within the Secret Society, but he couldn't forcefully command them.
As a super hybrid who may be no less than Angers, Chu Tianjiao's ideas may not align with Angers', and Angers cannot sway him.
"I see." Chu Zihang nodded in understanding.
"So is there anything he needs me to bring him?"
"No."
Chu Zihang shook his head again, paused, and then said, "Just tell him to be careful and pay attention to safety, and tell him that I'm having a great time in Kassel."
"I'll tell him."
Chapter 86 The World
After the brief conversation ended, Chu Zihang fell silent again.
It wasn't that he had nothing to say, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the initiative to approach Angers. It was precisely because he had so much to say and so many questions to ask that he didn't know how to begin.
“You have a lot to say to me, don’t you?” Angers took a sip of milk tea and looked at Chu Zihang across from him.
