6: Transformation

"I live in the Songyuan residential area right next to the Wanda Plaza in the Taishan district. There happens to be a Hilton Hotel right next to it, and the environment is quite nice. Brother Jiang, you could stay there; anything better is just too far away."

Ya Ya spoke up hurriedly, simultaneously sending her location to Jiang Yuan via WeChat.

"Fine."

Jiang Yuan agreed, immediately connected to CarPlay, played a soothing song, and drove off in the direction of the location.

It was worthy of being a V12 engine; the power was truly formidable. Jiang Yuan hadn't even pressed the accelerator very deep when the car shot forward like a wild horse off its leash with a "whoosh." In just a few short seconds, the speed soared to over a hundred kilometers per hour.

Just ahead, not far away, there was a speed camera. He was so startled that he hurriedly slowed down. The emergency brake made Ya Ya, who was behind him, tremble in shock, her body lurching forward violently.

Fortunately, it was early morning, and there weren't many vehicles or pedestrians on the road; otherwise, his new car would likely have been involved in an accident. Only now did he realize the terrifying performance of this car.

'I can't use the habits from driving my previous car to drive this one; the power is just too much.'

Jiang Yuan warned himself inwardly. It seemed that once he had the chance, he definitely needed to find an empty road to practice properly and get thoroughly familiar with the car's performance.

Before long, he dropped Ya Ya off at the entrance of her residential area.

Along the way, driving this incredibly cool, modified brabus g900, the head-turning rate was simply off the charts.

Most passersby even took out their phones to take pictures. The car's appearance was just too eye-catching; the aggressive, modified exterior alone made it hard for people to believe that this car could legally be on the road.

After all, with that vehicle height, it couldn't even enter most ordinary underground parking garages.

"Goodbye, Brother Jiang. If you aren't leaving in the next two days, I'd like to treat you to a meal tonight."

Ya Ya got out of the car, waved at Jiang Yuan, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered the courage to extend the invitation.

"Hmm, we'll see. If nothing comes up, I might leave tomorrow."

Jiang Yuan replied non-committally, not sealing his decision completely.

"Alright, then goodbye, Brother Jiang!"

"Goodbye."

Jiang Yuan gently pressed the accelerator, and the brabus g900 let out a low roar, darting away like an arrow from a bow amidst the envious gazes of the onlookers.

Just as Jiang Yuan parked the car in the parking lot in front of the Hilton Hotel, a greeter dressed in a crisp uniform came out to welcome him.

"Hello, sir, how may I help you?"

The greeter's smile was professional and warm.

"I'm here to check in. Are there any rooms available?"

Jiang Yuan asked casually as he walked inside; he just wanted to lie down on a bed as soon as possible.

"Yes, sir, please come this way to check in."

The greeter led Jiang Yuan to the front desk.

He said to the front desk staff, "This gentleman needs to check in."

"Hello, sir, what type of room would you like to book?"

The young lady at the front desk asked with a smile.

"What is the best one you have?"

Jiang Yuan asked directly; he was in no mood to be picky about the room right now.

"Sir, the best room type in our hotel is the Business Suite. The current walk-in price is 1,288 yuan, but if you book through the platform, it only costs 998 yuan. Where would you like to handle the booking?"

The lady at the front desk explained in detail.

"Just let me scan the code; be quick, I just came down from Mount Tai and I'm exhausted."

Jiang Yuan yawned and displayed his payment QR code; at this moment, all he could think about was a bed.

"Alright, sir, please show me your ID card."

Jiang Yuan handed over his ID card. After the quick facial verification, payment processing, and other procedures, he was finally guided by the front desk lady and escorted by the greeter into the elevator.

This hotel was not very tall, and the Business Suite was on the ninth floor, so they arrived at their destination quickly.

"Sir, there is a call phone on the bedside table. If you have any questions, you can call the service staff at any time. We wish you a pleasant stay and a smooth journey."

The greeter opened the door for Jiang Yuan, then bowed and stood at the doorway, speaking politely.

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, casually took the room card, closed the door, and walked inside the room.

The suite was indeed spacious, cleverly divided into three parts: a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. The living room and bedroom were separated by a huge TV wall, ensuring privacy without losing the sense of openness.

"Let's try this Body Strengthening Potion first."

Jiang Yuan didn't rush to fall asleep. He took the mysterious potion out of the system storage space, ready to drink it all at once.

"Ding, system notification: it is best used in conjunction with a bathtub."

Just as he was about to open the bottle cap, the system suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence of the room.

Thus, Jiang Yuan stopped his actions, turned around, and walked toward the bathroom to start filling the bathtub with water.

The bathtub was lined with a disposable bathtub cover, so his body wouldn't come into direct contact with the bathtub itself, which made him feel very at ease.

The steaming water was filled quickly. Jiang Yuan removed his clothes and, carrying all his exhaustion, slowly lay down into the warm bathtub.

The warm water instantly enveloped his muscles, which were sore and stiff from climbing all night. The comfort that spread from the inside out made him unable to help but let out a satisfied sigh, as if every cell in his body was stretching out at this moment.

Immediately after, he picked up that bottle of potion, which was glowing with a faint green light, and without the slightest hesitation, tilted his head back and drank it all in one go.

'Hmm... apple and grape flavor, not bad.'

Jiang Yuan savored the unique taste in his mind and evaluated it inwardly.

However, the very next moment, his body underwent an incredibly astonishing change.

There was no pain as imagined, nor any discomfort; he only felt waves of cool air seeping out from the depths of his pores. Immediately, visible black impurities, like fine sand, were silently expelled from the surface of his skin, slowly blending into the bathtub water, turning the originally clear water somewhat murky.

Meanwhile, during this miraculous detoxification process, his skin became tighter and more delicate at a speed visible to the naked eye, radiating a healthy, fair luster.

The bones and meridians within his body were likewise undergoing an earth-shattering transformation.

They became stronger and tougher than before, as if he had been reborn.

He was no longer the ordinary figure with "one single ab" from before, but was gradually taking shape towards the perfect golden ratio, with every inch of muscle filled with fluid lines.

His facial contours also became deeper and more three-dimensional. His appearance quietly became more handsome, but it wasn't the kind of delicate, slightly feminine beauty; rather, it was a perfect fusion of masculinity and dashing handsomeness, filled with vibrant vitality.

This process lasted for about ten minutes or so. When the changes in his body subsided, Jiang Yuan flipped over and leaped out of the bathtub suddenly, like a fish jumping out of the water.

He couldn't even fully control himself due to the explosive increase in strength; with that jump, his head almost hit the ceiling. An incredibly powerful strength surged within his body.

"Ding, body transformation complete, system panel opened."

Accompanied by this notification, a virtual light screen unfolded before Jiang Yuan's eyes, clearly displaying his latest personal data.

Name: Jiang Yuan, Gender: Male, Height: 183, Appearance: 99999999 (comparable to our dear readers), Physique: 20 (normal healthy person is 10), Luck: 3 (average person is 1), Ability: Constant Temperature Body Sensation, Wealth: 70,203,509 yuan.

"Holy crap, am I this handsome?"

Seeing that astonishing string of numbers for his appearance, Jiang Yuan was stunned, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face.

He didn't even feel the slightest bit of sleepiness now; his entire body was filled with explosive strength, as if he could kill a cow with one punch, filled with endless energy.
