Outstanding Results

In the end, Su Li settled on the most easily obtainable target: petroleum.

An hour later, Su Li took a bus to a medium-sized gas station on the outskirts of Donghai City.

"Young man, can I help you?" The speaker was a woman of indeterminate age, apparently the person in charge here.

The station wasn't busy at the moment, so even though Su Li didn't look like he needed fuel, the woman still greeted him.

"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 that much diesel for?"

"To drink!"

"Do you have your ID with you? And a fuel container?" Seeing that Su Li wasn't going to tell the truth, the woman stopped asking and got straight to business.

"Can't you just sell me a container?" Su Li asked.

"One won't be enough," the woman said flatly.

"Then two."

"A hundred liters of diesel is six hundred forty-five. The containers are thirty-one each. Call it seven hundred even."

"Deal."

Su Li nodded, pulled seven hundred yuan from his pocket, and handed it over along with his ID.

Xia's Father's first red envelope was only a thousand yuan—basically a token of appreciation for the trouble. But the second one was much bigger, a full twenty thousand yuan.

Given the strength Su Li had shown that morning, that amount wasn't too much; it was just about fair.

Still, Xia Ke's family didn't run some big hotel, so Su Li wasn't going to ask for more. He wasn't the greedy type.

Since the money came easily, Su Li didn't feel bad spending it. Besides, buying fuel meant he was going to drink it himself, so it wasn't a waste.

After taking the money and ID, the woman didn't hesitate. She went inside and brought out two large white fuel containers.

Each container was over a meter tall and more than forty centimeters thick—a real behemoth.

A hundred liters of fuel didn't sound like much, but in reality, it filled two such massive barrels.

It took the woman nearly twenty minutes to fill both containers.

"How are you planning to take these? Do you have a car?" she asked.

"I'll just carry them."

Su Li smiled, then stepped forward. Under the woman's astonished gaze, he picked up one container in each hand and walked out of the station.

"I never would've guessed that kid was so strong," the woman murmured as she watched his relaxed retreating figure.

Diesel is slightly less dense than water, so a hundred liters wasn't absurdly heavy—only about a hundred sixty-some jin. Still, even so, among modern people with generally weak physiques, someone who could lift two eighty-jin containers with one hand each was a rare find.

But this was just a brief moment of surprise for the woman. She didn't dwell on it. After all, there were plenty of strong people in the world.

Not long after leaving the station, Su Li carried the two containers behind a shelterbelt on the side of the road.

Since he'd chosen the outskirts of Donghai City, he didn't have to worry about being seen. He found a secluded spot behind the trees, lifted one container, and started drinking directly from it.

The first mouthful of diesel hit his tongue, and Su Li's eyes lit up slightly.

Compared to dry batteries, this stuff was surprisingly tasty.

Without further ceremony, Su Li tilted the entire container to a hundred-eighty-degree angle with his body. With gravity's help, the whole barrel of fuel quickly flowed into his stomach.

This really showed how absurd his talent, "Eat," was. The container was nearly half the size of Su Li's own body, yet after all that fuel entered his stomach, it didn't even cause a ripple.

In fact, Su Li suspected his stomach might be connected to some kind of alternate space. Otherwise, how could it hold so much?

After finishing one container, Su Li used the Infinite Star Sea to guide the energy inside him a little, then downed the second.

An hour later, Su Li's figure appeared near another gas station. This time, he bought 92-octane gasoline.

Then another hour passed...

From around ten in the morning until two in the afternoon, Su Li visited four gas stations in a row, buying a hundred liters of diesel, a hundred liters of 92-octane, a hundred liters of 95-octane, and a hundred liters of 98-octane.

In the end, Su Li concluded that among these four fuels, the best-tasting was the most expensive 98-octane, but the best value for money was the diesel.

After drinking four hundred liters of fuel in four hours, even with his astonishing digestion, he was starting to feel a little dizzy.

Still, the good news was that his rank progress had advanced significantly.

Name: Su Li

Location: Real Universe - Donghai City - Western Suburbs of Donghai

Rank: F-class (11%)

Talent: Eat (Everything you can see is your food.)

Shop: Open

Resource Points: 4

PS: Population, land, wealth—everything you own can be converted into Resource Points.

"Grolar Chapter"—Become a superpowered being, advance continuously on the Path of Superpowers. You will gain some Resource Points at each stage of the quest.

"Primal Chapter"—Slaughter. The meaning of life lies in slaughter. Through endless slaughter, you will steadily gain Resource Points.

His F-class rank progress had already climbed to eleven percent. On average, every hundred liters of fuel oil increased it by two percent, yet the value of a hundred liters of fuel oil was far less than a thousand yuan. That meant fuel oil was far more cost-effective than dry batteries!

"Tch, I'll never eat dry batteries again in this life!" With a sigh, Su Li closed the blue screen, ready to continue his level-grinding journey.

Twenty thousand yuan could buy about three thousand liters of diesel, enough to boost his progress by sixty to seventy percent without issue!

Thinking it over, once he won the eating contest tomorrow and got that hundred-thousand prize, he could break through F-class in the real world!

"Haha, can't get cocky. I need to at least lay low until I'm as strong as a Cloud-Devouring Python before I can really cut loose!"

Just as Su Li was feeling pleased, his phone suddenly rang.

Su Li pulled out his phone and glanced at it—an unfamiliar number!

"Hey, Su Li, the finals have been moved to this afternoon. Where are you?" As Su Li pressed the answer button, Xia Ke's slightly anxious voice came through.

Su Li: "..."

What the hell? Wasn't it supposed to be the next morning?
