Chapter 451 — Berserker’s Gem

"What about this one, Yuan? It can boost your eyesight and reaction by a significant amount," Meixiu showed him a weird-looking fruit.

"You can eat it. I have already eaten one." Yuan said to her.

Meixiu nodded and consumed the Earth-grade treasure a moment later.

Ding!

A few moments later, Meixiu said, "Wow, my eyesights got noticeably better after consuming the treasure, and I can see details that I wouldn’t normally be able to before. I’m not sure about my reaction speed though—"

Meixiu suddenly stopped speaking and tilted her head when she noticed something flying at her face with incredible speed.

"Y-Yuan?" Meixiu looked at him with wide eyes.

"Sorry, I just wanted to test your reaction." Yuan chuckled a little before retrieving his arm.

"What do you think? Has your reaction gotten better?"

"P-Probably..." she said.

"Now see if these changes apply outside." Yuan then said.

Meixiu nodded and logged off the game shortly after to see the results.

She returned a few moments later and shook her head, "I don’t think it worked."

"What about this treasure? It’s a Heaven-grade treasure, and it boosts your strength significantly." Yuan asked.

"You want me to take this treasure as well?"

"I mean, I wouldn’t be able to test the results even if I use it," Yuan said with a stiff smile on his face.

"Oh... Okay..." Meixiu realized what Yuan was trying to say and subconsciously nodded.

Ding!

<+20,000 Physical Strength>

"That’s a lot of strength..." Meixiu muttered in a dazed voice before logging off to see if her physical strength had improved.

’How should I go about testing my strength? As a cultivator, I am already strong enough to lift an entire desk without any issues...’ Meixiu wondered to herself as she looked around her room for something extremely heavy.

However, there was nothing in her room that would challenge her already profound strength.

She then approached one of the cars parked in front of the apartment before looking left and right to make sure nobody was looking at her.

Once she was clear, Meixiu bent her knees and tried to pick up the car.

As ridiculous and embarrassing as it felt, Meixiu was also curious about the rumor.

When she had a good grip on the car, Meixiu tried to stand up with the car.

"?!?!?!"

The moment she stood up, the car in her grasp also went up with her.

This shocked her so much that she accidentally dropped the car back down.

Meixiu looked left and right again to make sure nobody saw her before she ran back into the apartment.

"I-I am only dreaming, right?" Meixiu looked at her own palms with clear disbelief on her face.

Although she could lift her bed before she consumed the treasure, it wasn’t easy.

Once she had a good grip on the bed, Meixiu took a deep breath before lifting the bed into the air like it weighed nothing.

"Heavens..." Meixiu mumbled in a dazed voice as she stared at the bed that was directly above her head.

And to make sure it wasn’t just a fluke, Meixiu began benching the bed as though it were a barbell.

After benching the bed a dozen times, Meixiu carefully placed the bed back down onto the floor without a single bead of sweat on her face or body.

"I-It’s real... The treasure inside the game really affected my real body..."

After taking a moment to calm down, Meixiu returned to Cultivation Online to share her results.

"That took longer than I expected. How did it go?" Yuan asked her when Meixiu finally logged back in after many minutes.

Meixiu stared at Yuan in silence before speaking in a low voice, "It worked..."

"Huh?" Yuan’s eyes widened.

"The experiment worked..." Meixiu said, and she proceeded to tell him her experience.

"The Heaven-grade treasure worked on you but it didn’t work on Wang Xiuying? I guess this proves that every treasure has a chance to transfer its effects outside, and the chances will depend on the grade of the treasure..." Yuan said in an excited voice.

Meanwhile, Feng Yuxiang looked at them with a weird expression on her face, as she was unable to comprehend their situation.

"Anyways, thank you for the treasures. You can keep the rest for yourself since we no longer need it." Yuan said to Feng Yuxiang afterward.

"O-Okay..." Feng Yuxiang nodded and stored the rest of the treasures into her spatial ring.

Sometime later, Yuan said to her, "Feng Feng, can you stay here and wait for Xiao Hua? I’m not sure when she’ll come back, though."

"I don’t mind." Feng Yuxiang nodded.

"I will come back at least once a day just in case she comes back," he then said.

Yuan and Meixiu logged off the game shortly after to discuss the results even more.

"Can you call Wang Xiuying later and tell her to visit us tomorrow? I’d like to tell her the results of our experiments." Yuan said to Meixiu.

"Okay."

"Anyways, although I was already quite confident that the rumors were true, seeing it happen again is another thing." Yuan then said.

"Do you know what this means, Yuan?" Meixiu said.

"As long as one is lucky enough, they might be able to use treasures from Cultivation Online to benefit their real body. This might be quite disastrous if the world finds out about it if they haven’t already."

"I’m sure some people already know this, just like how people knew about cultivation way before it was announced. It’s only a matter of when it becomes widespread, and when that happens, the world will become even crazier."

"What should we do?" Meixiu asked.

"Is there even anything we can do?" Yuan sighed.
