The information on the official website completely exploded around 6 PM. By this time, most people had already heard the "absurd" news that the country had publicly announced a technology called Superpower Technology. At least, in the eyes of some, it was absurd!
However, all doubts quickly disappeared.
After three hours of silence, the officials quickly issued statements through various channels, very confidently acknowledging the existence of Superpower Technology!
In an instant, the storm was fully unleashed...
The scope of the Superhuman information release was clearly not limited to Donghai City, nor to China.
Even with the time difference, the storm swept across the entire world almost simultaneously.
A large number of problems surfaced one after another, but just three days later, the world basically returned to normal.
Besides the criminals being suppressed by well-prepared governments, the restless hearts of ordinary people were gradually worn down by the mountain known as "survival," written as "living."
Survival is a peculiar thing. Even something as mystical as Superhumans quickly calmed their arrogance under the pressure of this mountain.
When the information was first released, everyone was indeed excited. After all, who doesn't have a superhero dream in their heart?
But time made most people realize one fact: becoming a Superhuman is not a simple matter. It's not a short-term task, but requires long-term persistence.
However, regardless of the Superhumans, life had to go on. People who needed to eat suppressed their ambitions and returned to their jobs.
Of course, although most people outwardly returned to their normal work, whether they were training in private or learning the breathing techniques, no one knew for sure.
"Dad, don't worry, I'll definitely train hard and become a Superhuman to bring you honor!"
"..."
"Mhm, mhm, I got it!"
"..."
"Okay, I understand, goodbye!"
After hanging up the phone, Su Li sighed. The follow-up impact of this storm was still present. For example, parents' expectations for their children had increased by one more!
"Brother Su, hurry up, tell me, what's going on here?" Zheng Hongyu saw Su Li put down his phone and quickly grabbed a stack of A4 papers, coming to Su Li and asking.
Zheng Hongyu was naturally holding the cultivation method for the 'breathing technique,' the same one as the old man from the last video three days ago.
At the most critical moment, Zheng Hongyu was asleep, but when he woke up, he didn't hesitate and instantly joined the ranks of those learning the 'breathing technique.'
After learning that Su Li seemed to have a deep understanding of the 'breathing technique,' Zheng Hongyu would pester Su Li with questions from time to time.
Although in Su Li's opinion, these questions were a bit foolish, but what could he do when he had a silly 'son'?
"This? It's too simple. You should understand it this way..." After a glance, Su Li understood Zheng Hongyu's problem and began to explain it to him.
"Thanks, Brother!"
A moment later, Zheng Hongyu, holding the A4 papers, ran to the side excitedly, continuing to read them diligently.
"Alas, the world is changing, and people's hearts are not what they used to be!"
Su Li didn't know what he was sighing about, but he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
These past few days, the whole world had been in turmoil. Even while staying in the dormitory, Su Li could feel a strange atmosphere. Under such circumstances, he naturally hadn't entered the Virtual Universe!
After all, when entering the Virtual Universe, his consciousness was not in his body. What if something unexpected happened?
Now, Su Li felt that the storm outside had basically subsided, and he had decided to enter the Virtual Universe again!
However, this time his reason was no longer sleep, but it had changed to "cultivating the breathing technique"!
Given the difficulty of that "breathing technique," learning it in three days was indeed a bit monstrous. But Su Li, who had nothing to do, didn't want to think about it anymore. He just learned fast, what could anyone do to him?
Speaking of which, because of this sudden incident, Su Li's previous idea of renting a house outside had completely vanished.
Because in these past few days, the housing prices near Donghai University had completely gone wild and skyrocketed to a level where Su Li could no longer see their backs!
As for the reason... there was a type of creature called the rich. They were usually willing to squeeze into dormitories, but at this time, everyone wanted a quiet environment to cultivate and strive to become Superhumans as soon as possible.
With this thought in mind, the prices of those houses outside, which were not much larger than toilets, were driven sky-high, let alone those with slightly better environments.
Therefore, Su Li naturally lost the idea of renting a house outside.
"Old Zheng, I'm going to try cultivating the breathing technique. Don't disturb me!" Su Li said to Zheng Hongyu, then got into bed.
It took Zheng Hongyu a while to react. He stared at Su Li, who was already in bed, with a look of surprise and asked, "What?"
"Just don't disturb me!"
"No, big brother, you understood it? This stuff?" Zheng Hongyu pointed at the stack of A4 papers in his hand with a bewildered expression and asked.
"Heh, are you questioning my intelligence by asking that?" Su Li asked expressionlessly.
Zheng Hongyu: "..."
I'm not doubting your intelligence, I'm doubting my own!
"I'll test the waters first. When I get back, I'll carry you!" Seeing Zheng Hongyu's stiff expression, Su Li comforted him, then ignored him, got into bed, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.
Speaking of which, cultivating this breathing technique isn't as casual as in "Infinite Star Sea." To cultivate the breathing technique, one must sit cross-legged and assume a special posture, which looks quite like the evil arts spread by cults.
However, fortunately, this thing has been scientifically verified, so it shouldn't be the same as those cults!
Of course, none of this has anything to do with Su Li; he just needs to borrow this posture.
Closing his eyes and concentrating, Su Li felt a trance, and soon, he reappeared in the Virtual Universe.
Su Li glanced at Primal Star. Yes, Primal Star had indeed finished cooling down.
In fact, according to the timeline, Primal Star should have finished cooling down two days ago, but Su Li just hadn't entered it during these two days!
"A One-handed Sword is fine, I hope I can still find the Speedy Food Processor. I don't have any Credit Points to buy that thing again now! And with the Energy Crystal on Gorol Star, even if I had Credit Points, I might not be willing to buy a Speedy Food Processor!" Su Li muttered to himself, then prepared to enter Primal Star!
However, just then, Su Li's body, which was about to make a move, suddenly paused.
As if sensing something, Su Li abruptly turned his head and saw that in the dead silence of the distant starry sky, a star had lit up without anyone noticing when.
Almost simultaneously, a blue screen automatically appeared before Su Li, with only one line of text—
[You have successfully advanced to E+ rank and met the conditions to unlock the third life star, "Tianling Star"!]
Su Li: "..."
"Holy crap!"
Su Li looked at the shining star in the distance, and a surge of ecstasy rushed into his heart.
The appearance of the third life star was truly extraordinary.
Comparing Primal Star and Gorol Star, this star itself could bring Su Li countless benefits.
Furthermore, since the third star had appeared, it meant that in the future, the fourth, fifth... and even a galaxy, a sea of stars would appear.
This also made the entire Virtual Universe truly resemble a universe, rather than a lonely void with only two life planets.
"The condition was for me to advance to E+ rank? It seems this Virtual Universe really wants me to continue on the Path of Superpowers. Both the missions and rewards revolve around Superhumans!"
"But that's fine. Since I can become a Superhuman, I naturally wouldn't choose to be an ordinary person. That would be too boring!"
"Heh heh..."
Stroking his chin, Su Li's thoughts gradually drifted further, all the way to the new star.
