How should he best allocate the two points?

Adding a point to space would not increase its size by much.

That left the three physical attributes. Maybe he should add one point and see?

Constitution was probably related to stamina and endurance. Reflexes meant reaction speed, which was easy enough to understand.

Then there was defense, which was also self-explanatory.

He just did not know whether, with enough points invested, he would eventually be able to withstand blades and swords.

But it should be possible, right? He could already travel between worlds, so making himself resistant to blades and swords should not be too difficult.

After thinking it over, Li Mu Chuan added one point to space, bringing its size to four.

He had one point left, which Li Mu Chuan decided to save until after he traveled to the other world and assessed the situation.

If that world was not dangerous and he had a chance to bring things back, he would add it to space.

If it was dangerous, he could add it to one of the other three attributes.

As for exactly how to allocate it, he would decide then.

After settling those matters, Li Mu Chuan picked up his phone and ordered takeout, paying with Alipay's Huabei.

He had spent all his previous money clean, and fortunately, he still had this option. Otherwise, Li Mu Chuan would be left starving.

The next day,

By the time Li Mu Chuan woke up feeling refreshed, it was already noon.

Li Mu Chuan hurriedly rolled out of bed and checked the package he had sent.

He had used SF Express and paid for expedited delivery, so it had been sent by air. It should have arrived today.

After checking, he found that the package had already been signed for, and Li Mu Chuan let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Li Mu Chuan: "The effects of those pills should be real. Please have someone try them out."

After sending Gu Mingqiu a message, Li Mu Chuan stopped paying attention to it.

As long as the pills worked, the other party would naturally come looking for him.

Meanwhile, Gu Mingqiu was somewhat hesitant. He had already received the pills Li Mu Chuan had sent him.

To be honest, he had been rather looking forward to these pills.

After all, Li Mu Chuan had personally said that each one cost over two thousand.

Something at that price should not be too bad.

The problem was that the packaging clearly did not match the product, which made him feel uneasy.

His old classmate was not trying to use these pills to harm him, was he?

But after thinking carefully, he had known Li Mu Chuan in college. Based on his understanding of him, Li Mu Chuan did not seem like that sort of person.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Mingqiu called over one of his lackeys.

As far as he knew, his lackey had problems in that department too.

"This is a new medicine. Try it and see how effective it is," Gu Mingqiu said, breaking off half a pill and handing it over.

The lackey immediately understood what he meant. He took the pill and swallowed it without another word.

"Tell me later how the medicine is. If there are any side effects, go to the hospital."

Gu Mingqiu sent him away, putting the matter aside for the time being.

The lackey did not think much of it. Since it was a pill Gu Mingqiu had given him, it had to be extremely effective.

After returning, he swallowed it.

Then he found his girlfriend. He wanted to see how effective this thing was too.

In the blink of an eye, evening arrived.

There was still no news from Gu Mingqiu's side, but Li Mu Chuan was not anxious.

According to the information, the latest version of the pills was extremely effective and even had some therapeutic effects.

As long as it was used, no one could say it did not work.

After playing games for a while longer, Li Mu Chuan's phone vibrated as a message came in.

"How much are you selling these pills for? How many do you have left?"

Gu Mingqiu was exhilarated. After taking the pill, his lackey had told him that it was extremely effective.

It took effect almost immediately.

After confirming that his lackey had suffered no other side effects, Gu Mingqiu took half a pill himself.

After all, he had taken other pills before. A few hours after taking this one, he could tell how effective it was.

The pills he had taken before had barely done anything, but the pills Li Mu Chuan had obtained were so effective that he was beside himself with excitement.

"My friend says these pills work extremely well, so he wants to buy some."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Mingqiu added another sentence.

Li Mu Chuan did not care whether Gu Mingqiu had taken the pills himself or given them to a friend. He replied directly.

"There are eighty-three left. I'll sell them to you for two thousand five hundred each. Once they're gone, there won't be any more."

After thinking it over, Li Mu Chuan set the price at two thousand five hundred per pill.

"Alright, I'll take all the remaining pills. Give me your account number, and I'll transfer the money."

Li Mu Chuan gave him his account information. Once the money arrived, he packed the remaining pills into a small jar and called SF Express to ship them over.

When he checked his account afterward, he saw that he had made over two hundred thousand from this deal.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Mu Chuan's lips. It would be great if he could travel to more worlds like this in the future.

Buying low and selling high would make getting rich no problem at all.

With two hundred thousand in hand, Li Mu Chuan stretched and prepared to go out for something good to eat.

He had learned of a very good seafood restaurant during a previous gathering with friends, and he planned to go there.

Before long, Li Mu Chuan took a taxi to the seafood restaurant.

The crabs here were delicious and full of roe, while the prawns were even more mouthwatering.

The only drawback was probably the price.

The old Li Mu Chuan definitely would not have come here to eat, but now he had far fewer concerns.

The seafood was soon cooked and served.

As Li Mu Chuan ate, he thought over his plans for the future.

First and foremost, training was essential, so he could deal with the uncertainty of his future travels between worlds.

Although he had little time, he could not use that as an excuse not to train.

Only by making his body stronger could he keep himself alive.

Li Mu Chuan ate and pondered, unaffected by the noisy chatter around him.

What a shame. It would be nice if his space were a little bigger.

As long as his space were a little larger and he got himself a handgun, he would have some security.

If he traveled into the wilderness and encountered wild beasts, he could use it for self-defense.

Unlike now—if he encountered some ferocious beast, Li Mu Chuan figured his current physique would be enough for little more than a meal for it.

The more he thought about it, the more troubling it seemed.

Traveling between worlds could bring opportunities, but it also came with danger.

Soon, he finished dinner and paid the bill before leaving.

He had spent over seven hundred on a meal just for himself, which was a bit extravagant.

Still, Li Mu Chuan had enjoyed it.

Instead of taking a taxi back, Li Mu Chuan strolled all the way to the riverbank. There were many couples by the river, along with groups of girls walking together.

People alone like Li Mu Chuan were comparatively rare.
