Yan Jien had already experienced three episodes of loss of control. However, this time, Yan Jien appeared very calm.
"The dates of the previous three episodes of loss of control were May 8th, June 6th, and July 7th."
"In other words, the first episode occurred thirty-one days after I was diagnosed with cancer."
"The second episode happened thirty days after the first episode."
"The third episode occurred thirty days after the second episode."
Yan Jien sat in front of the computer, reviewing notes he had made previously.
"From the current information, there is a latency period after each meal, which is related to the amount of food consumed."
"The more I eat, the shorter the latency period; the less I eat, the longer the latency period."
"However, the latency period after each meal is at least thirty days."
"This time, I consumed the Blue Pond Pig forty-five days ago, which means that at most in five days, the fourth episode of loss of control will arrive."
"In the previous three episodes, each lasted forty-eight hours. If the fourth episode is similar to the previous ones, then I need to find a safe place within three days."
"Moreover, this time eating the Blue Pond Pig was not a normal meal but rather done in a state of loss of control, so it cannot be used as a reference."
"However, based on my food intake during the previous episodes, I can roughly estimate the amount I would consume during the fourth episode."
"During the first episode, I ate half a chicken; during the second episode, I ate two chickens; during the third episode, I ate one duck."
"Following this pattern, for the fourth episode, I should be able to eat an entire chicken or a duck or a rabbit."
"One chicken, one duck, and one rabbit together would roughly equal one-tenth of a Blue Pond Pig."
"If that's the case, if I consume one-tenth of a Blue Pond Pig while fully conscious, then the fourth episode would arrive five days earlier."
"In other words, the weight of the food I consume determines the date of loss of control."
"If I were to eat an entire Blue Pond Pig while fully conscious, then the fourth episode would occur in one hundred eighty days."
"However, since I actually consumed the Blue Pond Pig in a state of loss of control, that date has been significantly advanced."
"If we follow this line of reasoning, then I can draw two conclusions."
"First, the latency period after each meal is related to food intake; larger amounts lead to shorter latency periods."
"Second, if the latency period is longer, then the reaction during loss of control is greater."
"However, both conclusions are merely hypotheses at this point and require more evidence for validation."
"But if these two conclusions are true, then through physical training and meditation, I can try to delay the date of loss of control and accumulate strength for greater evolution!"
Thinking about this made Yan Jien somewhat excited.
"Verifying this hypothesis is actually quite simple; I just need to experience a few more episodes," Yan Jien thought to himself.
"But before verifying it, I need to find a safe place," Yan Jien lamented.
"A safe place?" Yan Jien pondered.
"By the way, the underground parking lot!" Yan Jien's eyes lit up.
"As long as I find an underground parking lot without any cars, I can lose control without worry!" Yan Jien was excited.
"And, there are many blind spots in the underground parking lot. Even if I accidentally expose myself, no one will notice!" The more Yan Jien thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
"That's settled then!" Yan Jien made a decision.
"First, find a good location, and when the fourth loss of control is about to happen, just go there!" Yan Jien planned.
"But how do I find such an underground parking lot?" Yan Jien frowned.
"It definitely won't work online; I can only check in person." Yan Jien contemplated.
"Also, I can't look for one in The Community; that's too dangerous." Yan Jien shook his head.
"I'm familiar with the residents of The Community; if I'm recognized during a loss of control, it would be troublesome." Yan Jien was cautious.
"I'll look for one in another district." Yan Jien decided.
"Once I'm done with this busy period, I'll go." Yan Jien planned.
...
Before he knew it, it was already evening.
"I'm so hungry!" Yan Jien held his stomach.
"This is a sign of the fourth loss of control!" Yan Jien's expression turned serious.
"I must meditate immediately!" Yan Jien hurried to bed.
"Focus!" Yan Jien concentrated his thoughts.
"Swish!" His nails and canine teeth disappeared instantly.
"I must resist this urge to eat!" Yan Jien reminded himself.
"I can't transform; once I do, I'll consume energy and accelerate the arrival of loss of control!" Yan Jien restrained himself.
"Concentrate, adjust your breathing, clear your mind!" Yan Jien entered a meditative state.
"At this rate, I should be able to completely master my body in about ten days." Yan Jien calculated.
"This means I must push the date of the fourth loss of control to ten days later!" Yan Jien resolved firmly.
"Hold on to hope, face it bravely; the future will surely be wonderful!" Yan Jien encouraged himself.
...
Just as Yan Jien was trying to adjust himself, Tong Liya sent a WeChat message.
"Brother Yan, what are you doing?" Tong Liya asked.
"I'm exercising," Yan Jien replied.
"Brother Yan, don't you usually exercise at nine o'clock? Why so early today?" Tong Liya wondered.
"Today's situation is special," Yan Jien explained.
"What special situation?" Tong Liya asked curiously.
"I'm doing strength training," Yan Jien replied.
"Brother Yan, are you preparing for a competition?" Tong Liya wondered.
"No, it's just regular training," Yan Jien answered.
"Brother Yan, you're so mysterious~" Tong Liya teased.
"Haha, really?" Yan Jien laughed.
"Yeah," Tong Liya nodded.
"Actually, I'm just practicing casually," Yan Jien said modestly.
"Brother Yan, do you usually train like this?" Tong Liya asked.
"Yes," Yan Jien admitted.
"Brother Yan, you're so diligent~" Tong Liya admired.
"It's okay," Yan Jien said, feeling a bit shy.
"Brother Yan, I found a nearby amusement park. Can you accompany me to have fun tomorrow night?" Tong Liya invited.
"Tomorrow night? No, I have a client," Yan Jien refused.
"What about the night after tomorrow?" Tong Liya asked again.
"I'm not free the night after tomorrow either," Yan Jien replied.
"Brother Yan, are you intentionally not wanting to take me?" Tong Liya pouted.
"No, I really don't have time these days," Yan Jien explained.
"Then what are you going to do?" Tong Liya asked curiously.
"I'm going to discuss a deal with a client," Yan Jien answered.
"Brother Yan, can you take me along? I want to learn negotiation skills too," Tong Liya requested.
"No, the client will definitely drink, and you can't come," Yan Jien refused.
"Brother Yan, don't worry, I'm already an adult," Tong Liya assured him.
"That still doesn't work," Yan Jien insisted.
