When he got back to his room, Conrad followed Mr. Huber's instructions and took the elixir with warm water.
After taking Elixir of Strength, he felt his whole stomach warm up and he was so hot that it was as if he was being baked.
"It's so hot!"
Conrad couldn't stand it anymore. He took off his clothes and went into the bathroom, filling the tub and lying in it to release the heat.
Conrad was surprised that the effect of the elixir was so amazing. It made him have such a great reaction.
Soon, he had a burning sensation. Conrad turned on the automatic circulation of water in the tub to keep the water temperature low all the time. Since the cold and heat succeeded each other, he was a little dizzy and fell asleep.
When Conrad opened his eyes again, he felt that he was in a good fettle after a sleep. The automatic circulation of water was still turning on in the tub. But there were some greasy substances floating on the surface of the water, which should be the impurities his body excreted under the effect of the elixir.
"This elixir has a strong delayed effect."
Conrad jumped out of the tub and took a shower. Then, he dried and dressed and went to the living room.
He picked up his cell phone to watch the time. However, the screen cracked at the center of the circle where he pressed his finger.
"Damn it! Is the quality of this brand's mobile phone so bad?"
Conrad complained that this folding screen mobile phone worth more than 10,000 broke down in two days. At the same time, he found that it was over three o'clock in the afternoon now. He was in the tub for six hours.
"God! Fortunately, my skin was not wrinkled."
Conrad was a little hungry and decided to go out to have a meal. Before having a meal, he had to get a new phone. Recently, iPhone 12 was popular. Conrad bought a latest model from the App.
But just as he held the new phone, the screen also cracked where his finger pressed.
It was unlikely that the two major cell phone manufacturers had produced defective products at the same time. Maybe it was his problem.
Conrad suddenly realized that perhaps the cause was the Elixir of Strength he took this morning.
"Could it be that I'm getting stronger?"
In order to verify his guess, Conrad found a clothesline in the house, which looked quite stout. But he gently bent it and it broke, just like the noodles.
Then he held a stainless steel spoon between his fingers and bent it. It was incredible.
