A New Source of Resource Points

"Su Li, Dad asked me to give this to you!" Down below, Xia Ke handed Su Li a thick red envelope.

"What's this?"

"A congratulatory gift, I think!" Xia Ke said uncertainly.

"Haha, sure, I'll take it then!" Seeing Xia Ke's confused expression, Su Li smiled and accepted the red envelope.

Su Li was certain that this definitely wasn't some "congratulatory gift"!

Xia's Father was quite decent. The moment he saw that Su Li had the strength to crush professional competitors, he immediately increased Su Li's payment by a huge amount.

Of course, it might also have been a way to win Su Li over and keep others from poaching him. After all, this competition wasn't over yet.

When it came to such matters, character was unreliable. Compared to that, tangible benefits were far more reassuring.

"By the way, why is your face so red?" Su Li suddenly noticed Xia Ke's complexion and asked.

"I'm just too excited!" Xia Ke really was happy right now. As for why she was happy, she couldn't quite explain it herself. Maybe it was because Su Li had helped promote her family's business!

"Oh!" Su Li nodded, then said, "There's nothing else for me to do, right? I'm heading out first!"

"You ate so much just now. Don't you need to deal with it?" Xia Ke asked worriedly.

"It's fine, just my usual performance!"

Su Li knew Xia Ke meant something like going to throw up, but after eating all those noodles, he felt nothing at all. In fact, because the noodles had been so soft, he had already digested most of them by now!

What he needed to do now was find a place to use Infinite Star Sea to guide that excess energy.

"Really?!"

"Yeah!"

"You're amazing!" Xia Ke said with a face full of admiration.

"Uh, it's nothing!" Looking at Xia Ke, who was about to turn into a fangirl, Su Li felt rather baffled. He had merely eaten a lot. What was so strange about that?

Didn't girls these days admire those fresh-faced idols who had trained for two years, could play basketball, and could rap?

"By the way, when's the final?" Su Li asked again.

"Tomorrow morning!"

"Oh, okay. I'll come back tomorrow morning then. Bye!"

"Yeah, bye!"

Not long after leaving the venue, Su Li walked down the street and opened the Blue Screen.

"Primal Chapter" — Kill. The meaning of life lies in killing. Amid endless slaughter, you will continuously obtain Resource Points.

...

Looking at the Resource Points section on the Blue Screen, a look of just as I thought flashed through Su Li's eyes.

Ten minutes earlier, when he had taken that thick red envelope from Xia Ke, the Blue Screen had appeared on its own. At the time, a line of text had appeared on it.

You obtained 20,000 yuan, so your Resource Points increased by 2.

Su Li had been busy talking to Xia Ke then and had not had time to check the change in his Resource Points. Now that he opened the Blue Screen, he discovered that his Resource Points had become four.

One had to know that when Su Li had died and returned from Primal Star, he had accumulated twelve Resource Points. Later, he had spent ten to buy the first part of Infinite Star Sea, so he should have had two left now!

Yet the Blue Screen now clearly showed that he had four Resource Points. In other words, Su Li really had gained two Resource Points because of those 20,000 yuan.

As for the 20,000 yuan, it had naturally been the money inside Xia's Father's second red envelope!

After staring at the Blue Screen for a while, Su Li finally stroked his chin and muttered, "Wealth, land, population... do these refer to things in the real world?"

Of course, Su Li was very familiar with the line beneath Resource Points—"Population, land, wealth—everything you possess can be converted into Resource Points"—but he had never understood what it meant, because he had not been sure whether wealth, land, and population referred to the Virtual Universe or the Real Universe!

Now, Su Li knew. It referred to the Real Universe!

And he also knew that, apparently, 10,000 yuan was equivalent to one Resource Point.

"Wealth is one thing, but where am I supposed to find population and land?" Su Li muttered as he took out his phone.

A moment later, Su Li got through on a call.

"Hello, Dad, busy?"

Hearing Su Li's voice, the other end of the line fell silent for a moment before replying, "So it's you. Say, Su Li, it's a seven-day National Day holiday. Fine, you didn't come home, but you didn't even call in the middle of it. Have you forgotten that you still have an old father and mother at home?"

"Ahem, haven't I been busy?" After coughing awkwardly, Su Li continued, "Dear Dad, can the deed to our house be changed to my name? If not, changing those few acres of land back home would work too!"

"You called home just for this?!"

"I was just asking." Hearing the change in his father's tone, Su Li gave an awkward laugh and said, "All right, get back to your work. Drink less, play cards less often, and don't make Mom angry. I'm hanging up now!"

"You little—"

Smack!

Su Li abruptly hung up, then sighed. That was unreliable!

"Dad, once I make it big, I'll take you flying!" Su Li muttered to himself, then shook his head and continued walking forward.

Judging by the current situation, gaining Resource Points from reality was clearly unreliable. In the short term, Primal Star was still the more reliable way to obtain large amounts of Resource Points!

Twenty thousand yuan... I should go buy something to eat!

"Still, dry batteries are out. They're troublesome, and the results are mediocre... What about gasoline? Coal? Natural gas? Or perhaps... nuclear power?"

Deep in thought, Su Li headed toward the nearby bus stop.

No matter what he ate, Su Li felt that he couldn't do it in the city. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would be seen too easily. Right now, he was only somewhat stronger than an ordinary person. What if someone discovered his abnormality? That would be terrible!
