In the end, Su Li set his sights on the easiest resource to obtain: oil.
An hour later, Su Li took a bus to a moderately sized gas station in the outskirts of Donghai City.
"Hey, young man, can I help you?" The speaker was a woman whose age was impossible to tell. She appeared to be the person in charge here.
The gas station was not busy at the moment, so even though Su Li did not look like he had come to refuel, the woman still greeted him proactively.
"I want a hundred liters of diesel!" Su Li said directly.
"What?"
"I want a hundred liters of diesel!" Su Li repeated.
"What do you need so much diesel for?"
"To drink!"
"Did you bring your ID card? And oil drums?" Seeing that Su Li did not want to tell the truth, the woman simply stopped asking questions and handled the matter according to procedure.
"Couldn't you just sell me an oil drum?" Su Li asked.
"One won't hold enough," the woman said flatly.
"Then two!"
"A hundred liters of diesel costs 645 yuan, and the oil drums are thirty-one yuan each. I'll charge you 700 yuan in total!"
"Sure!"
Su Li nodded, then took 700 yuan from his pocket and handed it over along with his ID card.
Xia's Father's first red envelope had contained only 1,000 yuan, which counted as a token of appreciation for his effort. But the second red envelope had contained much more—a full 20,000 yuan.
Considering the strength Su Li had displayed that morning, this amount was not excessive. It could only be considered fair!
Besides, Xia Ke's family was not some major hotel, and Su Li did not want to ask for too much. He was not an overly greedy person.
Since the money had come so easily, Su Li did not feel any pain spending it. Besides, after buying the oil, he would drink it himself, so it could not be considered a waste.
After accepting the money and ID card, the woman did not hesitate. She went inside and brought out two large white oil drums.
These oil drums were over a meter tall and more than forty centimeters thick—absolute behemoths.
A hundred liters of oil sounded like little, but in reality, it filled two drums this size.
It took the woman nearly twenty minutes to fill both large oil drums.
"How are you planning to take them away? Do you have a vehicle?" the woman asked.
"I'll just carry them away!"
Su Li smiled, then stepped forward. Under the woman's astonished gaze, he picked up one large oil drum in each hand and walked out of the gas station.
"You really couldn't tell. That kid is incredibly strong!"
Looking at Su Li's relaxed back, the woman sighed in amazement.
Diesel was slightly less dense than water, so a hundred liters of diesel was not outrageously heavy. It weighed only a little over 160 pounds.
Even so, among modern people, whose physiques were generally weak, anyone who could lift two eighty-pound oil drums, one in each hand, was an exceedingly rare existence.
However, this only surprised the woman briefly. She did not take it too seriously. There were plenty of strong people in this world!
Not long after leaving the gas station, Su Li carried the two large oil drums and climbed behind a nearby shelterbelt.
Since he had chosen the outskirts of Donghai City, Su Li did not have to worry about being discovered. After casually finding an unoccupied spot behind the shelterbelt, he lifted one large drum and began drinking directly from it.
When the first mouthful of diesel entered his mouth, Su Li's eyes brightened slightly.
Compared with dry-cell batteries, this stuff was surprisingly tasty!
Without holding back, Su Li directly tilted the entire oil drum so that it formed a 180-degree angle with his body. With gravity's help, the entire drum of oil soon entered Su Li's stomach.
This was where Su Li's Talent: Eat showed just how absurd it was. The drum of oil was almost half his size, yet after all of it entered his stomach, it did not even cause a ripple.
In fact, Su Li suspected that his stomach might be connected to another dimension. Otherwise, how could it contain so many things?
After finishing one drum, Su Li used Infinite Star Sea to guide the energy in his body slightly, then drank the second drum as well.
An hour later, Su Li's figure appeared near another gas station. This time, he bought No. 92 gasoline.
Then another hour passed...
From around ten in the morning until two in the afternoon, Su Li visited four gas stations in succession. He bought 100 liters of diesel, 100 liters of No. 92 gasoline, 100 liters of No. 95 gasoline, and 100 liters of No. 98 gasoline.
In the end, Su Li concluded that among these four fuels, the best-tasting was the most expensive No. 98 gasoline, while diesel offered the best value for money.
After drinking 400 liters of fuel in four hours, even Su Li, with his astonishing digestive ability, felt somewhat dizzy by then!
The good news, however, was that his rank progress had increased substantially.
Name: Su Li Location: Real Universe-Donghai City-Western Suburbs of Donghai Rank: F- (11%) Talent: Eat (Everything you can see is your food) Shop: Unlocked Resource Points: 4 PS: Population, land, wealth—everything you possess can be converted into Resource Points. Tasks: "Grolar Chapter"—Become a Superhuman and continue advancing along the path of superpowers. You can obtain some Resource Points at each stage of the task. "Primal Chapter"—Slaughter. The meaning of life lies in slaughter. Through endless slaughter, you will continue to obtain Resource Points.
His F- rank progress had risen to eleven percent. On average, every 100 liters of fuel increased it by two percent, while 100 liters of fuel cost far less than 1,000 yuan. In other words, fuel offered much better value for money than dry-cell batteries!
"Tsk, I'm never eating dry-cell batteries again for the rest of my life!" After sighing, Su Li closed the Blue Screen and prepared to continue his leveling journey.
With 20,000 yuan, he could buy approximately 3,000 liters of diesel. Increasing his progress by sixty or seventy percent would not be a problem!
Thinking of that, once he won the eating contest championship tomorrow and received the 100,000-yuan prize, he would be able to break through to F-class in the real world!
"Haha, I can't get carried away. I need to stay low-key until I at least reach the strength of the Cloud-Devouring Python before I can truly cut loose!"
Just as Su Li was feeling delighted, his phone suddenly rang.
Su Li took out his phone and glanced at it. An unfamiliar number!
"Hello, Su Li. The finals have been moved to this afternoon. Where are you?" Su Li pressed the answer button, and Xia Ke's slightly anxious voice came through.
Su Li: "..."
What was going on? Wasn't it supposed to be tomorrow morning?
