Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

As Matthew grew stronger, he also discovered a hidden worry.

That is, the demand for food or nutritional energy intake is also increasing. The growth process of the body requires a lot of nutrients, and daily activities also consume a considerable proportion of energy, not to mention the energy consumption of the human brain.

The body is a very sophisticated instrument with interconnected functions. For example, there is a relationship between the physique and the brain. It is impossible for the physique to grow continuously while the thinking, consciousness, reaction nerves, and five senses remain unchanged.

On the contrary, as the body strengthens, the brain and the five senses also grow. Only with a super strong mind and reflexes can one control a powerful body to exercise.

Simply put, if the hardware configuration is high but the CPU performance is insufficient, it will lead to an awkward situation where it cannot run the system smoothly.

So Matthew has found that his appetite has been growing larger and larger these days, and his digestive ability is terrifyingly strong. It takes about ten times the amount of food an adult male needs to eat to feel full, and he will feel hungry immediately after high-intensity exercise.

To maintain strong muscle strength and endurance, you need to consume plenty of protein, as well as enough carbohydrates and fats to provide sufficient energy reserves.

Considering the fact that everyone in the One Piece world is a big eater, it's not without reason.

The flesh of some of the strange creatures in that world, especially sea monsters, likely has a nutritional and energy content that far exceeds that of ordinary meat on Earth.

The food needs of a monster like this middle-aged woman, with her exaggerated physical abilities, are even more exaggerated.

The same applies to drinking water.

Matthew has had to buy a lot of food these days and even bought a refrigerator to store it. He can barely manage now, but as his body continues to grow, his food needs will only become more exaggerated, and his daily training and life will inevitably be affected by eating problems.

In fact, some of the energy conversions of the Glint-Glint Fruit itself are enough to sustain his daily activities, and even his battles.

However, the energy required for physical growth cannot be replaced by light energy conversion.

So after staying another month, and receiving the useless katana from Yajirobe, the Destroyer of Dragon Ball Senzu Beans, as a sign-in reward, Matthew knew he had to leave.

Their physique is being strengthened in all aspects, and their appetite is becoming even more exaggerated.

He needs to find a way to solve this problem, or give enough Senzu Beans as a sign-in reward.

Matthew never considered taking that gamble.

However, before leaving, someone came to the door.

It's Rai Che.

I hadn't seen the 1.95-meter-tall man for three months, and he was still wearing that ordinary light brown jacket, T-shirt, and jeans.

A parasol, a table, and two chairs were placed in front of the RV. Beer and prepared food were laid out on the table.

However, the portions of food were unusually large.

Rachel held a roasted lamb leg in both hands, gnawing on it while watching Matthew devour his food with the look of someone staring at a monster.

He even suspected that with so much food on the table, Matthew might not have enough to eat and might just eat him alive.

Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital for a checkup?

After clearing all the food off the table, Rachel picked up a chilled bottle of wine, clinked it against Matthew's (who had eaten and drunk his fill), and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Yeah, my physical condition has improved a lot these past few months, and my need for food has increased, which is normal." Ma Xiuli replied matter-of-factly, and seeing Reich's suspicious look, he smiled, took a sip of his beer, and said, "Don't worry, big guy, I'm not interested in you."

"That's good~" Lei Che appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief while his heart was filled with turbulent emotions.

The food that would take more than a dozen men to finish ended up in Matthew's stomach. After observing it, he found that Matthew's stomach didn't change at all despite consuming so much food.

If Matthew doesn't have a hidden space in his stomach, then it can only mean that his stomach's structure and function are far beyond those of ordinary people.

Their digestive capacity, energy conversion, and supply efficiency are all extraordinary.

The question then arises: just how strong must a body be to support such a massive energy expenditure?

Only a terrifying physique far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people would require such a massive energy supply and growth consumption.

So how strong must that physique be?

The more Reicher thought about it, the more horrified he felt.

Could this kid have really awakened a mutant ability? Is it an ability or a physical one? Recalling the massacre three months ago, Reicher was basically certain of this idea.

"Are you leaving?"

Raiche's voice was deep.

Matthew had a certain degree of trust in Rachel, Daniel's former friend, especially after Rachel's skillful handling of the Margrave incident.

Matthew wasn't particularly interested in what story this big guy had to offer.

What he really cared about was the help that Rachel could provide.

"Kleiner has an overseas account with 20 million dollars, and I need someone to help me clean it up."

Matthew said it casually, which made Rachel's eyelids twitch.

The cash in the safe should have been enough for Matthew to live on for a while, but now he wants to use that money. It seems that the boy already has a plan and ideas for the future. Reicher was a little curious, but he didn't delve into it.

"I have a colleague who knows about this and should be able to clean it for you, but she's not cheap."

"Thanks."

Matthew, holding the bottle, clinked it against the big guy's again.

"Alright, what brings you here?" Matthew asked Rachel about his purpose. He had Rachel's contact information; the big guy didn't have a fixed phone number, but used a very secretive, exclusive method of communication.

They are so well hidden that even professional agencies have difficulty tracing them.

He had contacted the other party yesterday to ask if there were any money laundering channels, but he didn't expect Lei Che to come to his door directly.

Clearly, some things need to be discussed in person.

"According to my information, a mysterious organization with deep connections has its eyes on you. They are looking for you. Recently, Roseco, Finley, and I have all discovered that we are being monitored."

"They're especially targeting Roseco, clearly trying to find you through her."

"I'm also trying to counter-track them, but I haven't found any leads yet. These people are very professional and have received special training."

"Fortunately, Daniel taught you tracking and counter-tracking, and given the remote location here, they won't be able to find you for a while."

Reicher frowned.

"A mysterious organization? Tsk, how terrifying." Matthew remarked casually, which made Rachel's face darken. He thought to himself: With your nonchalant tone, I can't tell at all that you find it scary.

"By the way, in Kleiner's criminal record file, there is a transaction related to human trafficking. Kleiner's human trafficking business is just one link in this huge profit chain. He is specifically responsible for receiving trafficked girls and then transferring them to other places."
