F-Class

The competition results came out quickly. Su Li secured first place with an overwhelming advantage, a fact that no amount of resentment from others could change.

The gap was too significant, making any attempts at underhanded tactics impossible.

However, Su Li winning the championship wasn't entirely a bad thing, in a way.

Su Li was a student at Donghai University. By all accounts, he was just there to make up the numbers. Yet, this very participant, who was supposed to be insignificant, had won the championship with his absolute skill.

Most importantly, he received a prize of one hundred thousand yuan!

If this kind of surprising turn of events were promoted properly, it could pique the interest of more people and perhaps bring even greater attention to the competition!

"Mr. Su Li, have you participated in a glutton king competition before?"

"No, I haven't!"

"Mr. Su Li, may I ask..."

"..."

Even with Su Li's extraordinary strength, it took considerable effort for him to finally break free from the overly enthusiastic host and some minor reporters.

Afterward, Su Li, clutching a check that hadn't yet been taxed, hastily left the venue.

On his way, Su Li sent a message to Xia Ke and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Li had initially wanted to chat with Xia Ke for a bit longer, but due to his involvement, "Misty Rain Summer Wind" was also receiving a lot of attention. As the establishment behind "Misty Rain Summer Wind," Xia Ke and Xia's Father were naturally thrust into the spotlight of numerous reporters and tabloids.

Furthermore, unlike Su Li, who found those people bothersome, Xia's Father was practically eager for his restaurant to gain more exposure!

After giving interviews now, he would probably post on his Moments, Weibo, and definitely utilize all sorts of promotional channels!

Therefore, Su Li had to make his own exit for now!

"Only eight more Resource Points? Is this blue screen really that smart, automatically deducting the money I need to pay in taxes?" Looking at the Resource Points balance on the blue screen, Su Li stroked his chin. After a brief calculation, he confirmed something.

After receiving the prize money, his Resource Points had indeed increased, but it was the post-tax amount.

"Tsk, whatever, time to upgrade first!"

Muttering to himself as he shook his head, Su Li walked towards the bus stop not far away.

Last time he went to the western suburbs, this time he'd head to the eastern suburbs!

After Su Li won the competition, for the next day and a half, apart from attending a few classes at university, he spent most of his remaining time at various gas stations in Donghai City. He barely even visited the Virtual Universe.

With thirty thousand yuan, Su Li successively purchased nearly five thousand liters of diesel fuel, and he also consumed that much.

Finally, without any further complications, his progress in F-class reached one hundred percent!

Real Universe, Donghai City, behind a shelterbelt in the southern suburbs!

After one last glance at the information on the blue screen, Su Li abruptly poured a large bucket of diesel into his mouth.

As the diesel entered his body, Su Li's talent automatically activated its powerful digestive capabilities. In just a short while, a surge of energy appeared within Su Li's body.

This energy wasn't substantial, but for Su Li, whose body was already saturated with energy, it was extremely crucial.

Su Li used "Infinite Star Sea" to guide this trace of energy, allowing it to gradually integrate into his body.

A moment later—

Boom!

It sounded like an explosion, yet it also felt like nothing. At this moment, Su Li felt a difference within himself.

Swish!

Su Li's body moved, and in the next instant, he silently appeared on the other side of the shelterbelt.

"Is this the change for F-class? The strength increase isn't significant, maybe fifty percent at most, but my body feels countless times lighter. I could achieve this speed before, but that was through sheer power forcing an outburst. Now, this speed feels almost instinctive..."

While sensing his own transformation, Su Li muttered to himself. A moment later, he opened the blue screen—

Name: Su Li

Location: Real Universe - Donghai City - Southern Suburbs North

Rank: F (1%)

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

Shop: Activated

Resource Points: 12

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

Mission:

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

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

"As expected, I've reached F-class, but this is just the beginning. It's far from enough!"

Having witnessed the power of the Cloud-Devouring Python, Su Li certainly wouldn't be satisfied with the small achievements he had made so far.

Fortunately, the Primal Star was almost cooled down, and Su Li still had most of the prize money from the Donghai Glutton King. His advancement speed should see a surge in the short term!

After advancing to F-class, Su Li drank more diesel outside, increasing his level progress by one percent.

He discovered that the energy required to advance one percent in F-class was about twice that of F-. This meant that for Su Li to break through from F-class to F+, he would need to drink about ten thousand liters of diesel.

Converted to RMB, that would be sixty-five thousand yuan.

In terms of money alone, this wasn't a problem. Su Li still had enough money left!

However, he wasn't planning to rely solely on drinking diesel to level up. Being tired of it was one reason, after all, ten thousand liters of diesel was a truly astronomical figure!

Besides, the Primal Star would also finish cooling down tonight. He hadn't even used the one-handed sword and Speedy Food Processor he bought on Gorol Star yet!

When Su Li returned to the dormitory, Zhang Yu and Zheng Hongyu were both hunched over their computers, looking at something with great interest.

As for Zhao Shengkai... that guy definitely wouldn't be in the dorm at this time. He'd either be studying or trying to pick up freshmen girls at some club!

"What are you guys looking at?"

Su Li walked over and asked curiously.

"Something good!"

Zheng Hongyu replied instinctively. A moment later, he realized Su Li was back!

"Boss Su Li, you're finally back!"

"Uh..."

"Bro, we know all about it, the Donghai Glutton King!" Zhang Yu turned his head and reminded him.

"Cough, that was an accident!" Su Li didn't quite know what to say. He had been busy leveling up these past two days and hadn't even had time to share such a big event with his roommates.

"How about this, I have some things to do these couple of days. In a couple more days, I'll treat you guys!" Su Li added, "You can pick the place!"

"Whoa, I heard you won a hundred thousand. So you've become a rich guy now!"

Seeing how generous Su Li was, Zheng Hongyu and Zhang Yu exchanged a glance, then said, "We've already decided on the place. It's just a regular Western restaurant. But you can't go back on your word then!"

"Alright!"

"Heh heh, in that case, it's settled!"

"En!" Nodding, Su Li remembered what they were looking at earlier and asked, "By the way, what were you guys looking at just now?"

"Of course, it's something good!"

Zheng Hongyu said, standing up and offering his seat to Su Li, gesturing for him to look for himself.

"What is it, acting all mysterious? Don't tell me it's porn?" Driven by curiosity, Su Li sat down and started browsing the website on Zheng Hongyu's computer with the mouse.

A moment later—

Su Li stood up with a blank expression, then quickly took off his clothes and got into bed, preparing to sleep. No, he was preparing to enter the Virtual Universe!

As for what Zheng Hongyu had shown him...

The website was called Evolutionary Home. The name sounded similar to an organization in some anime, but what it displayed were various unusual events that had occurred around the world recently, all of which could be linked to Superhumans.

According to insiders on the website, humanity's path of evolution had ushered in another boom, and the tide of evolution was about to begin...

However, Su Li couldn't understand how Zheng Hongyu and Zhang Yu could be so engrossed in such a website that seemed extremely unbelievable at first glance.

Perhaps they were poisoned by Professor Lin?
