Apocalypse: Modifying Everything, Building an Iron Fortress

Chapter 29: Primary Neural Reflex Enhancer!

“The food is almost ready; just one more dish, and we can eat.”

Seeing Jiang Cheng coming upstairs, Liu Yuqing, who was wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen of a restaurant holding a dish.

While Jiang Cheng was downstairs upgrading the indirect nail gun, Liu Yuqing, after taking a shower and changing into a sports outfit, couldn’t find him on the fifth floor, so she took the initiative to start cooking.

As for the possibility that Jiang Cheng might leave her behind and escape alone, Liu Yuqing never considered it. Although she hadn’t known Jiang Cheng for long, she could tell that he was a trustworthy person, so she had no such worries.

Watching Liu Yuqing turn and head back into the kitchen, a slight smile appeared on Jiang Cheng’s face. Having such a companion wasn’t bad at all.

He grabbed a bottle of beer and sat down at the dining table, which was already filled with dishes.

He didn’t have to wait long, maybe about ten minutes, before Liu Yuqing brought out the final dish from the kitchen.

“All done, let’s eat!”

With that, she returned to the kitchen to bring out a rice cooker full of rice and placed it on the table, along with two sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing Liu Yuqing bustling around, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of having a wife …

Noticing Jiang Cheng’s gaze, Liu Yuqing’s face flushed slightly.

“Hurry up and eat before it gets cold.”

She served Jiang Cheng a bowl of rice and then picked up her chopsticks, sitting across from him and starting to eat.

Since they were about to leave the supermarket and face the apocalyptic world head-on, having good physical strength was essential. Although Liu Yuqing used to care a lot about her figure and appearance, she knew that if she continued to maintain her figure like before, she would soon become a burden to Jiang Cheng.

So, she abandoned her usual figure maintenance and began eating the food in front of her in large mouthfuls.

Jiang Cheng smiled and started eating as well, but just as he took his first bite, the system’s prompt sounded in his mind.

“Ding! Host, you have a reward stored in the system backpack. Please claim it as soon as possible.”

Hmm?

A reward?

Jiang Cheng’s eyes lit up. Without hesitation, he opened the system backpack, and immediately, a small blue bottle resembling an oral liquid appeared before his eyes.

“This looks familiar …”

Jiang Cheng’s gaze fell on the system’s description of the item.

[Primary Neural Reflex Enhancer]: After consumption, permanently increases nerve response attributes by 20 points within ten seconds.

“This reward … came at just the right time!”

After reading the description, Jiang Cheng’s eyes shone with excitement.

This was a potion similar to the strength enhancer he had received before, except that this one enhanced nerve response!

He had experienced firsthand the benefits of increased strength, and now, having a potion to enhance his nerve response was exactly what he needed!

It’s important to know that nerve response doesn’t just affect reflexes; it also impacts perception, memory, mental agility, and other sensory aspects … Drinking this enhancer could potentially improve all these areas significantly!

As for the source of this reward, Jiang Cheng found out by checking the system’s reward log that it was given for achieving the milestone of surviving a day in this apocalyptic world.

This reward was straightforward and brutal!

But I like it!

“Cough, cough …”

Just as Jiang Cheng was examining the potion, a fit of violent coughing interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to reality.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Yuqing covering her mouth, coughing intensely.

“Sorry … I choked …” Noticing Jiang Cheng’s gaze, Liu Yuqing’s delicate face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Jiang Cheng poured her a glass of water. “You don’t need to do this; becoming stronger isn’t something you can achieve just by eating!”

Seeing through her thoughts with a single glance, Liu Yuqing avoided his eyes, took the water he offered, and sipped it with her head slightly lowered.

“I know some training methods used by military forces around the world. I can give them to you after we finish eating. You can train according to those.”

“Training methods used by military forces?” Liu Yuqing looked up, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise. These methods were classified secrets of various nations, not some martial arts manuals you can buy on the street for fifty cents!

Where did Jiang Cheng get them?

Can he really deliver?

It’s not that she didn’t believe in Jiang Cheng, but being an adult, it was hard for her to believe such a claim!

“You’ll see for yourself later!”

Jiang Cheng didn’t explain much. After finishing lunch, he got up and walked over to the side, pressing his Bluetooth earpiece. “Jarvis, is there any difficulty in stealing some military training methods and various combat training techniques from different countries?”

“Sir, while these are classified materials, the security level is not high. Stealing them poses no difficulty.”

Stealing training methods and combat techniques from various countries was indeed not a challenge for Jarvis!

And these training methods would be more than enough for Liu Yuqing. Her physical fitness was already decent; she just lacked proper training methods.

“Then start the extraction.”

“Yes, sir!”

Jiang Cheng didn’t have to wait long—just three or four seconds—before Jarvis successfully extracted the information he wanted and copied it all onto a phone.

Jiang Cheng quickly glanced at it, confirmed there were no issues, and then handed the phone to Liu Yuqing.

“Here, this includes various combat techniques from different countries, as well as methods for training in Sanda, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, free fighting, martial arts … and even techniques for improving nerve responses, eyesight, and memory. You can start learning from these.”

“These are really the training methods used by military forces from different countries!!!”

Liu Yuqing quickly opened the phone, flipping through the documents that recorded the training methods of various nations. Her delicate face was filled with shock, which quickly turned into delight and excitement.

For her, this was like discovering a whole new world.

Jiang Cheng smiled. These training methods were only useful for ordinary people. For someone like him, whose physical attributes had already surpassed normal human limits, they were no longer beneficial. Without giving it much more thought, he turned and headed to the employee rest area.

As for the dishes and food scraps left on the table, he didn’t bother cleaning them up. After all, they were about to leave, so why waste energy and time on that?

Entering the rest area, Jiang Cheng didn’t hesitate. He immediately took out the [Primary Neural Reflex Enhancer] from the system backpack, twisted off the cap, and downed it in one gulp.
