Chapter 2030


    Having lived their whole lives in the mountains, these contestants'' idea of fun—despiteing to


    Bainbridge—was simple. Either they would gather around to talk about medicine, research


    Reconstruction Pill alone, or take up the mantle of temporary doctor in Renew Pharmaceuticals.


    At the same time, Matthew was in a dilemma. Sitting before him was a mountain of pills, and all of them


    had different effects, ranging from body strengthening to energy building. Any single pill would be worth

    millions in the greater world and send a ripple across the entire market. "Which should I take first?"


    Matthew scratched his head. He could make all these pills himself, but he had no ingredients. He did


    want to power up, but he also had his own concerns.


    Szar was keeping an eye on him, and he gnashed his teeth. Gee. I want to be spoiled for choice


    too. He wasn''t a doctor, but even he could tell that these pills were priceless through the amount of


    energy they were emitting. Most people wouldn''t even have the chance to even get one in their whole


    lives, and yet Matthew was spoiled for choice. God damn it.


    "I should strengthen my body first. A strong body makes absorbing other pills easier." Matthew picked


    up the Steelbody and gulped it down. A momentter, he felt a surge of warmth welling within him, and


    then that surge of warmth spread through his body. Eventually, that surge of energy became hotter and


    hotter, and pain finally kicked in.


    In just a few moments, sweat was already pouring forth from Matthew''s skin, and rivulets of filth slowly


    emerged from his pores. Through the burning pain, Matthew took an Ameliorator, but the next second,


    he let out a growl of agony.


    He could take the burning pain, but this agony was on a whole other level. It felt like someone was


    scraping off his flesh and sawing off his bones with a blunt knife.


    Noticing the dtion of Matthew''s pupils, Szar quickly said, "Hang in there, Matthew. Do not faint, or


    you''d waste the pill."


    An Ameliorator could cleanse the body of its impurities, but these impurities were the product of years


    and years of an unhealthy lifestyle. They could be considered a part of a human''s body, so cutting them


    off was akin to cutting someone''s flesh away. The pain was enormous, and if the aspiring adept were to


    fall unconscious, a lot of their meridians would be shut down, which would block the pill''s power from


    clearing the whole body. Dregs of impurities would be left behind. It wouldn''t be much, but it was


    enough to affect the user.


    Matthew knew that, but the agony was unbearable. He was clenching the wooden chair with his right


    hand, and it was already close to breaking. The torture went on for an hour, and Matthew spat out a


    stream of blood at the end, signaling the end of his amelioration. He couldn''t even lift a finger at that


    point. "Do not let anyone touch me, Szar. I''m warning you." He then closed his eyes and cked


    out.


    "You''re a man, Matthew. You don''t have to be shy." Szar picked him up and ced him on a bed. He


    then closed the door and returned to his room to train.


    Unbeknownst to anyone, Bloodreaper was trembling while Matthew was asleep.
