Chapter 78 [The second phase of the 'Hiratsuka Shizuka' strategy has been completed...] (1/1)
Hiratsuka Shizuka had only one thought in mind—escape!
immediately! immediately!
She endured the aching pain that felt like her body was falling apart, carefully lifted a corner of the thin blanket, and tiptoed out of bed. She dared not make a sound, for fear of waking the sleeping "beast."
The purple dress, scattered on the ground, was already wrinkled and tattered from last night's "fierce battle," and even stained with some unspeakable marks.
Hiratsuka Shizuka picked it up, her face burning again.
She quickly put on her clothes, not even bothering to fix her messy hair and makeup. Grabbing her handbag, she slipped out of the office barefoot, without even putting on her high heels.
Fortunately, it was still early.
The employees of Genesis Company have not yet started work.
Hiratsuka Shizuka arrived at the parking lot without incident.
The cool morning wind blew in from the parking lot entrance, blowing on her burning cheeks and making her a little more awake.
Sitting in the car, she looked at her reflection in the rearview mirror—her eyes still held a hint of allure, her lips were swollen and red, and her expression was haggard and dazed. She felt so ashamed and indignant that she wanted to disappear into the ground.
"Ah..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka collapsed, clutching her head and banging her forehead against the steering wheel as she howled.
It took me a while to finally calm down.
But her face was still burning red.
"I'd rather die than come here again!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka gritted her teeth, drove out of the parking lot, but the details of last night kept replaying in her mind.
Thinking back to my initial fierce resistance, then my inability to bear it in the middle, and finally my complete surrender, and even... actively conforming.
"That little rascal!"
She cursed under her breath, but there was no trace of hatred in her voice. Instead, there was a tremor that she herself did not notice.
At the same time, I couldn't help but be surprised.
What's wrong with that guy's stamina?
Even for young people, it shouldn't be to that extent, right?
It's ridiculous to act like the male protagonist in those exaggerated adult comics!
Just thinking about it made her cheeks flush even more, and she felt incredibly hot.
……
……
after an hour.
Seiji Fujiwara opened his eyes and got out of bed, yawning.
He woke up when Hiratsuka Shizuka left, but pretended to be asleep so as not to upset her.
otherwise……
Given Hiratsuka Shizuka's thick skin, she would probably get furious on the spot and fight him.
Yes, in a physical sense, we gave it our all.
After all, he really put Xiaojing through a lot last night.
"Hehe, once is never enough, and you can't escape it, Teacher Xiaojing."
Seiji Fujiwara stretched comfortably.
With his movements, the bones in his body emitted a series of crisp popping sounds.
Unlike Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was exhausted, he felt refreshed, as if the "high-intensity exercise" that lasted almost all night was nothing more than a thoroughly enjoyable workout for him.
He sat up, a thought suddenly occurring to him.
"System, check the rewards."
The next second, a screen that only he could see, emitting a pale blue light, appeared out of thin air in front of him.
[Ding! Detected that the host has completed the second stage of the 'Hiratsuka Shizuka' conquest. Rewards are now being issued!]
[Reward: Special Talent - Dual Bones!]
[Talent Description: This talent will reshape and strengthen the host's skeletal system. The host's bone density, hardness, and toughness will be significantly increased. Simultaneously, the bone marrow's hematopoietic and regenerative functions will be greatly enhanced, granting the host far superior recovery and endurance.]
Looking at the talent description, Seiji Fujiwara exclaimed in admiration.
"My physique was already strong, and with these [Double Bones], I'm afraid I'll really be as fierce as a tiger," he muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Receive the talent."
As soon as he had a thought, a scorching warm current suddenly surged up from his tailbone!
This warm current, with a domineering and forceful attitude, climbed up his spine and instantly spread to his limbs and bones, penetrating into every bone in his body!
"Well……"
Seiji Fujiwara couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
Wherever the heat flowed, it was as if countless tiny furnaces were being ignited inside his bones, undergoing a violent forging and compression.
The density of the bones was increasing wildly, becoming heavy and solid, as if they had been filled with mercury.
The ligaments at the joints between bones also become incredibly tough, as if they had been cast in molten steel.
He could even hear a series of subtle yet dense crackling sounds, like popping beans, coming from inside his body.
Those are his bones, undergoing a transformation!
This process lasted a full ten minutes.
When the heat finally subsided, Seiji Fujiwara slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
He felt like he had been completely transformed.
Getting up from the bed was just a simple action, but it made him feel as if the ground beneath his feet had become incredibly solid.
His body was filled with inexhaustible power, as if he could punch through a wall.
Seiji Fujiwara walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the huge mirror.
Looking at myself in the mirror, my figure didn't seem to have changed much; my muscle lines were still smooth and perfect. But the overall "texture" of my body was completely different.
Beneath the skin, there seems to be a restrained yet astonishing power.
His already upright posture was now as straight as a javelin, exuding an unwavering and steadfast aura. His eyes had become even more profound and sharp, as if they could see right through people's hearts.
His entire being exuded a strong and vigorous aura.
……
……
After taking a shower and changing into loose-fitting sportswear, Seiji Fujiwara went to the company's private gym.
He walked up to the bench press rack.
No warm-up is needed.
Seiji Fujiwara added several 40-kilogram weight plates to each side of the barbell, bringing the total weight to 240 kilograms. This weight would have required serious effort for him to complete three standard sets of training.
However, now he lies on the bench press, gripping the barbell with both hands, only slightly engaging his chest muscles.
"Shh!"
The 240-kilogram barbell was like a hollow plastic tube, which he pushed up with ease. Throughout the process, he could not even feel the slightest resistance.
"So easy?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Seiji Fujiwara's eyes.
He got up and continued to add more weight to both sides.
260 kilograms... as easy as a toy.
280 kilograms...no problem at all.
300 kilograms... I'm starting to feel a little weight, but that's about it.
340 kilograms... that's already at the level of a world-class strongman, but he still pushed it with ease.
Seiji Fujiwara's breathing gradually became more rapid, but this was not because of fatigue, but because of excitement!
He added weight plates to an unprecedented level—380 kilograms!
This number has quietly surpassed the current world record for bench press without equipment (335 kg).
He took a deep breath, lay down again, and firmly gripped the slightly bent barbell with both hands.
This time, he finally felt the pressure.
"rise!"
He let out a low shout, and the power of his pectoral muscles, deltoids, and triceps brachii muscles instantly twisted together and exploded!
The incredibly heavy barbell was slowly pushed upwards by him with a steady yet powerful pace!
Until his arms were fully extended!
It worked!
Moreover, he felt that he still had energy to spare.
Seiji Fujiwara continued to push the limits, and the final test revealed that his unequipped bench press limit was 426 kg!
call!call!
As he placed the barbell back on the bench press rack, Seiji Fujiwara, panting, looked at his perfectly sculpted arms, which had no exaggerated muscle bulges, and was deeply impressed.
His physical abilities completely surpassed the scope of "ordinary humans," reaching, or rather, breaking through, the theoretical limits of the "human" species.
He is already a "superman" in the truest sense.
"That's... absolutely amazing."
Seiji Fujiwara was overjoyed, feeling the immense power surging within him like a mighty river. An unprecedented, powerful confidence, enough to control everything, filled his heart.
……
……
the other side.
Almost all mainstream media outlets used eye-catching headlines in their financial and entertainment sections to report on the opening of Genesis Company yesterday.
Normally, an entertainment company wouldn't be considered a major news story.
Every year, quite a few large companies either open or close down.
However, the difference is that the owner of Genesis Company, Seiji Fujiwara, is himself a famous and influential figure in Japan!
[A literary giant's crossover! Seiji Fujiwara, the youngest winner of the Naoki Prize, takes the helm of a multi-billion dollar creative empire!]
[Genesis Makes a Grand Rebirth; Its Mysterious President is Actually an 18-Year-Old Prodigy Writer!]
[Seiji Fujiwara Interview: I'm not a businessman, I just put on armor for my creative work!]
High-resolution (bgcg) photos spread the image of Seiji Fujiwara, a young, handsome, and spirited man, throughout Japan.
Its already illustrious reputation spread even further.
Many people who don't follow the literary field or care about the entertainment industry have also remembered the name Seiji Fujiwara.
These news stories, like pebbles thrown into a lake, created ripples in different circles.
