The pleasant sound of the system and the piercing pain simultaneously transmitted to Lin's brain. He grinned, wanting to laugh, but couldn't manage it; he could only twitch his lips, his expression filled with extreme discomfort.
The previous move, Left-Handed Blade, had already surpassed Lin's limits. The only reason he was able to execute it was due to the experience demonstrated in his mind and the potential that erupted in that moment.
There is endless potential hidden within the human body, and this is something no one can dispute.
However, this potential usually lies dormant deep within, only erupting suddenly under certain special circumstances, such as in moments of danger, enlightenment, or pain.
Only when pushed to the "extreme" does this potential burst forth. What Lin relied on just now was this elusive potential.
Instinctively, Lin used his right hand to support his left arm. With the slightest movement, the pain surged up to his shoulder, stimulating his nerve endings.
"Hiss..."
He took a couple of deep breaths, and the corners of Lin's eyes twitched. Sweat beads formed on his forehead; this wave of continuous pain was becoming unbearable for him.
Lin could feel that the muscles in his left arm were severely strained, with some even torn. The damage to the bones inside was even greater; he had suffered a comminuted fracture.
Divine Sight activated!
Using his x-ray vision skill, Lin examined the condition of his arm.
The situation was very bad—almost catastrophic—worse than Lin had anticipated. Countless cracks spread across the bones like a spider web. If he exerted any more force on his left arm, it would likely shatter into pieces.
Clearly, his left arm was unusable and could potentially affect the continuation of Torrent. Without his left arm, Lin would be unable to complete fifty percent of his movements.
However, in front of Lin, none of this was a challenge. He would not yield to it. With his left hand gone, he still had his right hand, which was much more agile than his left!
Even if he had only one hand left, or even just a finger that could move, Lin Ye would keep going!
Behind his persistence lay madness, obsession, and an indomitable spirit...
The more difficult the situation became, the calmer Lin grew. The twenty-three years of suffering he experienced in his past life were unimaginable to ordinary people.
A child who emerged from an orphanage, alone and helpless, managed to ascend to the Divine Throne of the Culinary World. One can only imagine the life he endured and the burdens he bore.
"It’s just a severed arm; this won’t defeat you, right?"
"Lin..." The words squeezed out between clenched teeth changed Lin's expression.
With a cold smile, madness ignited in Lin's eyes. At that moment, all his fighting spirit burned passionately; the fierce flames were enough to set the world ablaze!
After finishing that sentence, Lin immediately opened the marketplace. Both time and his injuries urged him on; he could no longer afford to wait.
"Ding! Growth Catalyst purchase successful!"
One hundred Hero Coins exchanged for Lin's recovery from injury.
He held a bottle the size of a finger in his hand, used his teeth to open the cap, and then drank it all in one go!
The way he tilted his head back to drink the potion resembled someone downing a bottle of strong liquor.
The Growth Catalyst is the most cost-effective and currently the best healing medicine that Lin can afford in the marketplace. He had seen it before in promotional products.
However, this potion is not an instant recovery type; it merely stimulates the body's potential, allowing injuries to heal quickly. Given Lin's level of injury, recovery would take about three days.
As the saying goes, "Injuries to muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal." Even if he went to the best hospital on Azure Planet, it would take one to two months for him to recover from such injuries. Therefore, the effects of the Growth Catalyst are quite evident.
After drinking the Growth Catalyst, Lin You pulled out two cans of Super Red Bull and gulped them down. He was worried he might not be able to hold on, as recovering from injuries consumes a lot of physical strength.
The combination of these two recovery items produced miraculous results; within about five minutes, Lin felt normal again—at least he no longer felt pain in his left arm.
His left arm was still unusable, and this time even his instinct had vanished. It should be due to the numbing effect of the Growth Catalyst, providing temporary pain relief.
For Lin, this situation was already very satisfactory. As long as there was no pain, his subsequent processes would not be significantly affected.
He casually found a piece of clothing and tied his left arm up, securing it against his chest to prevent any mishaps that could affect the production of Torrent.
Taking precautions is essential; during such critical and challenging moments, Lin became even more meticulous. He understood one principle: mistakes happen when one is rushed.
Cooking has never been something that can be hurried; every step must be completed patiently and carefully.
After ten minutes of dealing with the fracture, Lin stood before the cutting board once again, this time wielding the knife only with his right hand.
The Willow Leaf Turtle was already laid out on the board, its flesh, skin, and shell meticulously separated. Everything Lin had rehearsed in his mind could now be dissected.
The only area he had not rehearsed was the interior of the Willow Leaf Turtle; he did not understand its internal organs.
Taking a deep breath, Lin extended his right hand and cautiously lifted the shell of the Willow Leaf Turtle. The shell had already been removed and was easily picked up.
The moment he lifted the shell, Lin was momentarily stunned.
Beneath the shell were the internal organs of the Willow Leaf Turtle, which were no different from those of an ordinary Willow Leaf Turtle. Lin had seen many varieties in his previous life.
However, why were there clusters of white spheres in the lower abdomen?
After a brief moment of thought, Lin's eyes widened in shock as he suddenly realized and exclaimed, "This Willow Leaf Turtle is a female!"
Those white spheres were indeed the turtle's eggs, still in development and not yet mature. Even if saved, they would likely not survive.
This scene left Lin feeling extremely frustrated!
The turtle eggs appeared to be just over half a month away from full maturity, at which point they would become new life.
These turtle eggs served no purpose in this dish.
Killing not for the sake of cuisine, in Lin's eyes, is simply a massacre of the innocent. It is not just a waste; it touches the very bottom line of Lin's heart.
Humans are such strange beings. Some can slaughter thousands without blinking one moment, and the next, they mourn for a lamb they accidentally killed.
Lin belongs to this kind. The various contradictions of his personality and psyche are perfectly embodied in him, creating such a peculiar individual.
He can drink and sing joyfully in the wind and rain, yet curl up in a corner during the deep silence of night.
However, what has happened has already occurred. All Lin can do now is sigh in mourning and think about how to make amends.
To take a step back, if Lin had known in advance that this Willow Leaf Turtle was female, would he still have chosen to kill it, knowing he had no way out?
The answer is no. He would still kill it, but he would do so with pain.
Perhaps it is this kind of contradiction that intersects between the inner world and the real world, leading to either the heart overcoming reality or reality overcoming the heart...
In the end, however, the result is always so cruel.
Ah! People must live like this helplessly, mustn't they?
Just like Lin now, desperately running forward under the pressure of the System, for his dreams and for the life he pursues.
