Chapter 165: Chapter 152: The Heaven-Defying Effects After the Buff Upgrade

Though Gu Heng thought so, he was already quite content with a 1.3x cash-back rate.

In a great mood, Gu Heng couldn’t help but start humming a little tune.

"What I miss is talking dirty~"

"What I miss is trembling together~"

"What I miss is after sleeping together~"

"Still having the urge to go again~"

"The tightest opening~"

"The softest chest~"

...

Gu Heng hummed the song while mentally choosing to use the [Buff Upgrade Card].

[Host has successfully used the Buff Upgrade Card]

[Detection complete. Host possesses only one Buff: "Eternal Day Engine"]

[Single target. Target selected]

[Buff "Eternal Day Engine" upgrade commencing]

As the Buff Upgrade Card began to take effect, the ball of emerald-green light Gu Heng had seen when he first acquired the "Eternal Day Engine" Buff reappeared before his eyes.

However, compared to the previous one, this ball of emerald-green light was more intense, deeper, and richer in color. It resembled the finest imperial green jade, seemingly radiating a dense life force.

The ball of emerald-green light hovered before Gu Heng’s eyes for about five seconds, then, as if breaking through the boundary between reality and illusion, it suddenly shot toward him.

The moment the green light merged into Gu Heng’s body, he shuddered violently. An indescribable, scorching heat immediately began to spread from his heart throughout his entire body.

The sensation was as if Gu Heng had drunk ten large bowls of a potent tonic soup. The slight fatigue from his recent drinking and late nights not only vanished without a trace, but he also felt an endless, pent-up energy that he couldn’t release.

Hot!

Scorching hot!

Gu Heng turned the water temperature down to cold, but still couldn’t shake the scorching sensation.

[Buff "Eternal Day Engine" upgrade successful]

[Buff "Eternal Day Engine" Level: Middle Level]

["Eternal Day Engine": You only need an extremely short amount of sleep to restore your spirit to peak condition. Your body’s recovery mechanisms will become more efficient, your stress resistance will become stronger, and your metabolism will become more outstanding. Your cardiopulmonary function will become more exceptional, your physical resilience will become more robust, and your fatigue resistance will become more superior. Additionally, you will be immune to all viral infections from external bodily fluids, and your immune system will become more remarkable.]

The cold water couldn’t suppress the scorching heat permeating Gu Heng’s entire body, but he patiently read through the detailed upgrade description provided by Father Tongzi.

The "Eternal Day Engine" Buff went from beginner to Middle Level. It seemed like only a one-level difference, but the improvement was a quantum leap.

First, the most significant change was to his sleep requirement, which went from "shorter" to "extremely short." This meant that in the future, Gu Heng would only need an extremely brief period of time to instantly be back at full strength.

Gu Heng didn’t have a clear idea of just how short "extremely short" was yet.

However, based on the original beginner "Eternal Day Engine" Buff requiring only five hours of sleep, he figured this time would probably shrink to under three hours.

Furthermore, the Middle Level "Eternal Day Engine" Buff granted Gu Heng several new "statuses," making his body’s recovery abilities increasingly freakish.

Exceptional cardiopulmonary function would give Gu Heng a powerful heart for pumping blood, a high hemoglobin content, and excellent respiratory efficiency. This would allow him to quickly supply oxygen to his muscles and clear out metabolic waste.

This upgraded ability would directly boost Gu Heng’s aerobic and anaerobic endurance by several levels.

Robust physical resilience would allow Gu Heng to withstand higher-intensity physical impacts without getting easily injured. He would also be able to maintain proper bodily functions in harsh environments such as extreme heat, cold, high altitudes, and the deep sea.

Superior fatigue resistance would give Gu Heng higher energy metabolism efficiency, improving his focus and decision-making. It would also enhance his emotional stability and stress resistance, with benefits that would permeate every aspect of his daily life.

Hmm...

He just wondered if this fatigue resistance would also bless his little brother, allowing him to work for longer.

He’d have to put a question mark on that for now, but he could find out the answer through practice soon enough.

At this point, Gu Heng needed to calm himself down a little.

Because the final "status" provided by the Middle Level "Eternal Day Engine" Buff was one Gu Heng was willing to call "godly"!

What are bodily fluids?

Blood, semen, secretions, tissue fluid, and so on—these all fell into the category of bodily fluids. And Gu Heng was immune to all viral infections from external bodily fluids. What did this mean?

Simply put, as long as Gu Heng wasn’t worried about getting someone pregnant, he would never have to wear protection again. He was in a state of being "impervious to a hundred poisons."

For a man, a benefit like this was simply "godly"!

After all, what man could refuse zero-distance contact, free of any worries, whenever he pleased?

Gu Heng was already feeling an unbearable heat all over his body. Now, after reading the detailed description of the Middle Level "Eternal Day Engine" Buff, the fire in his heart burned even more ferociously.

"CLUNK..."

Raising his hand, Gu Heng gently turned off the showerhead.

...

「Living Quarters, in the small living room.」

Yaya, who had just finished showering, was wearing a new floral silk nightgown. A white towel was wrapped around her damp, long hair as she stood drinking water at the home’s wet bar.

But while she appeared to be drinking water, her gaze couldn’t help but drift toward the door of the VIP2 cabin.
