This Brian Carter doesn't think much of it, but if kidney deficiency can't be cured, that's a real problem.

However, Brian Carter is stubborn—once he decides on something, he has to do it!

Even though his chest felt like it was about to explode, and the sensation of muscle tearing filled his whole body, he could feel his stamina recovering, confirming that what was written on the item card was true...

After finishing another round of training, Brian Carter, despite being completely exhausted, managed not to collapse. After doing a plank to adjust his balance, he got up and sat on a chair.

The masseuse nearby hurried over to help Brian Carter relax his muscles.

The masseuse was terrified, but having dealt with many rich kids like John, she was used to all sorts of things. Brian Carter was John's friend, so maybe he had some strange quirks too.

For example... self-abuse?

The masseuse thought it wasn't impossible. Anyway, she was just getting paid to serve the two of them, so she didn't ask questions and just did her job.

Feeling the soreness from the post-workout massage, Brian Carter couldn't help but howl, "Who the hell said exercise is painful but joyful? It's all pain, damn it!"

The masseuse was startled.

A while later... someone grabbed a pillow and rushed into the gym, throwing it at Brian Carter: "Noah, what the hell are you screaming for!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing, go on..."

Watching John return to the guest room, Brian Carter figured he must have been scared by that outburst in Chinese just now...

"This guy won't get traumatized, will he... I'd better stop yelling... Restraint, restraint..."

Chapter 0007: Getting Famous Just by Eating

A little after six in the evening, after doing who-knows-what, John took a nap and came out to see Brian Carter still training.

John didn't know what to say. He was about to leave—he really couldn't watch anymore. He thought Brian Carter was just acting crazy, or maybe trying to do something to announce he was going to start working hard.

As for Brian Carter's talk about wanting to play in the NBA... John took it as a joke.

Originally, John planned to leave a masseuse for Brian Carter, but Brian Carter told him to take the masseuse with him.

John didn't think much of it, figuring that after several hours of training, Brian Carter wouldn't have any energy left that night.

Little did he know...

For Brian Carter, the nightmare was just beginning...

It wasn't until eight o'clock at night that his arms, shoulders, back, chest... all those muscles were finally done with the first round of training.

Having a solid foundation really helps. His physical base, plus the tenacious character forged during the tough times of his previous life, allowed Brian Carter to push through and finish the first round of training!

"Stage explosive pre-training task: First round of the 666 Devil Training Method completed. Host receives three hours of rest to recover stamina. The next round of training will begin at 23:00 on April 10, 2009. Please be prepared."

When this prompt appeared on the transparent screen in Brian Carter's field of vision, he instantly felt his body become incredibly heavy. He had just finished a one-minute plank and collapsed onto the floor.

Fatigue, drowsiness, soreness...

All the physical reactions from overloading and pushing past his limits hit him at once...

But...

He couldn't sleep!

He was so exhausted he could have slept like the dead, but he just couldn't fall asleep!

It was eight o'clock, exactly eight o'clock. After six hours of devil training, he didn't feel sleepy at all!

On top of that, there was another uncontrollable feeling...

"So hungry! I need to eat!"

...

At 9:35 p.m. on April 10, 2009, near the South Line Historical Art Museum in Phoenix, at a fast food restaurant fifteen minutes by car from the villa Brian Carter was renting, a large crowd was taking pictures of a table with their phones.

Exclamations filled the fast food restaurant...

"I want two more burgers! And another pizza..."

"Sir, do you really want more? You've already eaten eight burgers and two pizzas. We really appreciate your love for our food, so this meal is on the house. Next time, please come again, okay?" The manager couldn't stand it anymore, worried that this young Chinese boy might eat himself to death here, which would be a huge problem.

"I still want more, just two more. I'm really hungry..."

"..." The manager and everyone around were speechless.

Still hungry!

Was he a starving ghost reincarnated?

Judging by his build and clothes, he didn't look like someone who couldn't afford to eat.

But seeing how ravenous he was, he really did look like he was starving...

"So many people are taking pictures and even recording videos. Even if something happens, it's not my responsibility, right? I've already warned him. The customer is always right..." The manager helplessly had the staff bring two more burgers and a pizza, along with a large glass of water, and personally delivered them to the Chinese boy's table.

He didn't dare serve any drinks—fast food places mostly have sodas, which would make him even more bloated.

That's right, this Chinese boy was Brian Carter. After taking a shower and changing clothes, he drove out to get something to eat—he was so hungry he felt like he could chew on the showerhead.

But he had no idea he could eat so much; his stomach was like a bottomless pit...
