Chapter 301 Supplements and Exams
"Another serving of egg fried rice?"
"Young man, can you still eat?"
"Don't get an upset stomach!"
The shop owner poked his head out from the back kitchen. Most restaurant owners have seen diners who can eat a lot. Coupled with the promotion of [Body Building Exercises], the appetite of ordinary people who come to dine is getting bigger and bigger every day.
That's because as you practice [Body Strengthening Exercises], your body needs to consume a lot of calories. Ordinary people don't have access to high-end stuff like human nutritional supplements on a daily basis, so they can only get the nutrients they need for practice from daily food.
In the shop owner's impression, workers who do manual labor can only eat two large bowls of noodles at most.
But what about Chen Jue?
After finishing three bowls of noodles in a very short time, this guy actually asked for a serving of fried rice. He was like a starving ghost reincarnated. The store owner was afraid that he would have problems with the food!
Because running a restaurant is not as simple as making the food delicious, you also have to consider food safety for your customers. Once something goes wrong when eating in his restaurant, the restaurant owner will be the one responsible for paying the compensation.
"Don't worry! I can definitely eat more and it won't be wasted!" Chen Jue probably saw the shop owner's concerns, and as he spoke, he lifted up his short sleeves, revealing his flat belly . There was no sign of a bloated belly at all.
You should know that the stomach capacity of an average person is about 1500 ml, while some big eaters with stronger stomach expansion ability can eat 4000 ml of food.
The three bowls of noodles together definitely exceeded 4,000 milliliters, but Chen Jue's belly didn't show any signs of bloating.
It was as if the food went into a black hole from his mouth. The shop owner was amazed by this scene. "Well, wait a little longer, I'll make you some fried egg rice!"
There was a lot of noise in the kitchen, and soon a large portion of fried rice was brought to Chen Jue.
Smelling the aroma of chopped green onions mixed with the smell of oil smoke, Chen Jue's appetite was aroused. He picked up the plate, picked up the spoon and began to inhale rapidly.
If a normal person ate as much as he did, he would definitely eat some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets as snacks afterwards, but Chen Jue didn't have so many concerns.
Chen Jue has now practiced to the point where he can control the secretion of hormones in his body. Just now, three bowls of noodles entered his stomach. In less than a minute, they were ground into powder by the peristalsis of his stomach and intestines. Then, they were quickly digested and absorbed by the large amount of gastric acid and protease secreted. He did not feel any discomfort from bloating at all.
As for the large plate of newly served egg fried rice, it was just a filling for him and was cleared out in no time.
"belch!"
"Finally I'm full. Boss, your cooking skills are pretty good." Chen Jue put down the plate and burped symbolically. Then he took out a red-headed bill and handed it over to pay the bill.
"If you like it, I'll come back next time." The shop owner was flattered after being praised. He cleared the empty plates and watched Chen Jue, the "big-bellied man," walk out of the shop in a strange way, thinking to himself, "This kid can really eat!"
…
The meal cost 96 yuan, which was not very expensive. The main reason was that Chen Jue had a big appetite and ate four servings of food by himself.
According to Chen Jue's own speculation, if he ate as much as he could to replenish his energy, even if he bought all the ingredients in this dim sum restaurant, it would not be enough for him to eat.
After going out, Chen Jue went to a fruit shop next door and picked and chose, and weighed several kilograms of apples, oranges, and bananas.
After being away from Earth for half a year, Chen Jue missed the food on Earth very much. After eating the staple food, he had to have some fruit to taste.
Although they are not as good as the fruits grown in the second home, they are more diverse in variety.
After paying, Chen Jue, carrying three large bags, curiously went into the pharmacy. The middle-aged woman in the white coat was still in the store.
When Chen Jue was practicing martial arts before, he had come to the store to buy tonics such as donkey glue granules. This time he came to the store to see what the product labeled "special tonic for body-building exercises" was.
"Boss, do you have this tonic?"
"Give me one." Chen Jue asked, pointing at the poster on the door.
"Yes! This tonic is selling very well now, but it's a little expensive. We just happened to have received a new batch of it." When the pharmacy owner heard that there was business, he quickly took a box from the counter.
Chen Jue took the box and took a look at the packaging. There were five big words written on the package: [Body Building Supplement]. As for the formula ingredients on the box, it was very similar to the [Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup] that Chen Jue had eaten before, except that it contained some additional auxiliary ingredients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
"How much is this box?" Chen Jue asked curiously.
"398 yuan, this is the uniform retail price."
"One box is for two weeks. If you fail level four, you have to take it every 72 hours. This stuff is very nutritious, but taking too much will cause nosebleeds. It's best to take one before or after practicing, as this will help with absorption during your practice." The pharmacy owner said as he took a plastic bag and put the bags in it for Chen Jue.
"Level 4?"
"A test for the level of physical training?" Probably because he heard the word "cultivation" from an ordinary person's mouth, Chen Jue's face twitched. He felt that something was wrong, so he took out four red bills and bought the medicine.
After I went out, I opened the box and found four thick glass medicine bottles inside, each containing about 200 ml. I unscrewed the lid and took a sip.
A sweet medicinal flavor mixed with mint bloomed in the mouth, and Chen Jue used [inner vision] to observe the medicinal properties of this supplement.
Soon, this supplement was digested and absorbed by Chen Jue's superb gastrointestinal tract. Judging from the feedback from his body, the medicinal properties and energy provided by this supplement were equivalent to one tenth of the human business agent produced at the base.
"It's about a hundred dollars a stick, which is not too expensive."
"If only I had this supplement when I was practicing before, I would have saved the trouble of decocting the medicine." Chen Jue thought to himself, and rushed to the training class on the corner of the street with the bag in his hand.
The training class was held on the first floor of a floor-to-ceiling building with two open glass doors at the entrance. The furnishings inside were extremely simple, with an office desk and a row of shelves with books and manuals such as "A Detailed Explanation of Body-Filling Exercises", "The Quickest Way to Get Started with Body-Filling Exercises", and "Instructions for Body-Filling Exercises Grade Exams".
Seeing that there was no one in the training class, probably because they had gone out to do business, Chen Jue picked up the books and manuals and quickly flipped through them.
The booklet is printed with the words "Published by the General Administration of Sports " and the content is printed in color, with detailed illustrations and exercise tutorials of the six body-building exercises.
With Chen Jue's current level of intelligence, he only needs to glance over these paper books of only a few dozen pages. With his photographic memory and his brain's super-fast analysis, he can finish reading these books and manuals very quickly.
"Each form has a level test and corresponding body profile data."
"It seems that there are a lot of talented people in the General Administration of Sports! They can actually break down and analyze the body-building exercises so thoroughly and in detail. Ordinary people can just practice according to the steps and won't make any mistakes." Chen Jue smiled as he watched, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a sports vest and sweating profusely jogged in from the door. Seeing Chen Jue, a stranger, reading those manuals and materials in the store, he asked enthusiastically: "Excuse me! I was just having a class training over at the elementary school playground. My name is Liu Qiang, and I'm the owner of this store."
"Are you signing up for training or for a test?"
After Chen Jue finished flipping through the booklet, he put it back on the shelf, then turned around to look at the middle-aged shop owner. He saw that he had a strong physique and a steady breathing. It was obvious that he had practiced the body-building exercises to the fourth level or above.
"I want to sign up for a test. How much is the fee?" Chen Jue asked.
"Have you taken the exam before?" Liu Qiang wiped . Seeing Chen Jue shaking his head, he explained, "The registration fee for the first three levels is 168 yuan, the re-examination fee is 50 yuan, and the fourth level is a little more expensive, 500 yuan."
"Is level 4 so expensive?" Chen Jue was stunned.
"The prices are all uniformly set. Now when applying for a job, your bodybuilding level is required on your resume."
"If your level is not up to standard and your physical fitness is not up to par, it will be hard to find a job." Liu Qiang smiled. He was originally a physical education teacher at Panlong Town Primary School. At the beginning of the year, he happened to catch up with the promotion of physical training and took advantage of the popularity to open this training class. He brought out many students from the town and the income was pretty good.
"What about level five and level six?" Chen Jue continued to ask.
"Levels five and six charge higher fees, with registration fees of over a thousand, and the exams are organized uniformly in the city. The highest certificate issued in our county is level four." Seeing that the young man carrying a few bags of fruit was loose all over, Liu Qiang thought he was a beginner and patiently explained it to him.
After all, the content and fees of these exams had been on the hot search headlines a few months ago, and basically everyone knew the situation. Chen Jue had just returned from the moon and didn't understand the situation.
"So that's how it is!" Chen Jue nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Can I see how you train?"
"Of course you can! The training ground is right next to the elementary school playground. If you're worried that I'm not teaching well, you can sit in on a class. Our training classes are all formal, and my training certificate number can be found on the official website."
