"This is life!"

Standing on the cross-sea bridge in Donghai City, Su Li looked at the diverse buildings and colorful lights in the distance. For a moment, countless vague realizations surged into his heart.

He felt an urge to recite a poem, but lacking literary talent, Su Li abandoned the idea.

Gazing at the vast scenery before him, the hostility that had accumulated in Su Li's heart from excessive killing gradually disappeared. He felt the beauty of life once again!

He walked another two laps on the cross-sea bridge, but the romantic encounter he had vaguely hoped for didn't happen. Most people passing by were in a hurry, with no intention of stopping to admire the beautiful scenery!

Su Li guessed that these people were probably rushing home to study Breathing Techniques or train their bodies. After all, it had only been a short time, and most people wouldn't give up the chance to become a Superhuman without a few bumps and bruises!

"Tsk, forget it, I'm going back!"

Shaking his head and muttering to himself, Su Li completely let go of his unrealistic thoughts and prepared to return to school.

However, before Su Li could take a few steps, a dark shadow suddenly darted past him.

No, to be precise, it was a dark shadow in the eyes of ordinary people. But in Su Li's eyes, what passed him was just a slightly faster Superhuman, at most F-class, probably the same as Ye Mohan, a Superhuman cultivated early by the country. There was nothing to pay attention to.

As for appearance, this was probably a middle-aged man with an ordinary face, also nothing to pay attention to!

Shrugging his shoulders, Su Li continued to walk forward.

A moment later, another figure flashed past him.

Su Li: "..."

Damn it, are they having a Superhuman marathon tonight? What are they running around outside for in the middle of the night? What if they scare someone?

These guys from the Detective Bureau have no idea what discretion is!

Finally, after no further incidents, Su Li quickly returned to his dormitory.

At this time, Zhao Shengkai had already returned, so all three of them were there.

However, the three of them were huddled together, seemingly looking at something interesting!

"Hey guys, what good stuff are you looking at?" Su Li walked over quietly and suddenly poked his head to take a look.

The three of them: "..."

"Holy crap, what is this? An Energy Potion? Energy Potions provide a large amount of energy and help with the cultivation of Breathing Techniques. The price... three thousand yuan a bottle?!" Su Li read aloud what they were looking at with a look of surprise and then said, "Is this Taobao? Is Taobao starting to scam people now? Or is this an obvious scam!"

"Su Li, you scared the life out of us!" Zheng Hongyu said speechlessly, handing his phone to Su Li, and then said, "Here, take a look. It's something that went online on Taobao tonight. It seems to be provided by a university research laboratory, but this project is funded by the state, so strictly speaking, this is still state property. It shouldn't be fake!"

"Tsk, three thousand yuan a bottle, that's equivalent to five hundred liters of oil!" Su Li said with emotion as he looked.

"Can this thing be compared to oil? Go ahead and try drinking two mouthfuls of oil if you have the guts!"

"I was just saying!"

Su Li smiled and returned the phone to Zheng Hongyu.

"How is it, Su Li, do you want to buy one?" Zheng Hongyu asked.

"I'm not buying..."

Su Li was about to say he wasn't buying, but he stopped himself abruptly.

Although spending three thousand yuan on an Energy Potion that would almost certainly be useless to him was a waste, it was also an excellent excuse!

In a few days, he was going to "breakthrough" and become a Superhuman. Wouldn't this Energy Potion be a perfect excuse?

The genius Su Li, after drinking an Energy Potion, experienced a qualitative leap from quantitative change and instantly became a Superhuman. Who could say anything then?

After pondering for a moment, Su Li suddenly said, "I'll buy it, two bottles! Old Zheng, you pay for me first, and I'll transfer the money to you later!"

"Okay!"

Hearing that Su Li wanted to buy, Zheng Hongyu was not surprised. After all, Su Li had already learned the Breathing Technique, so he could use this thing.

This kind of good stuff, as long as one wasn't too poor, a normal person would buy one to try. What if it worked?

Besides, Su Li wasn't poor. He had won a hundred thousand yuan at the Donghai Glutton King a few days ago!

"Wait, buy one for me too!"

At this moment, Zhao Shengkai suddenly said.

Zheng Hongyu: "..."

"I feel like I'm about to learn the Breathing Technique. When this thing arrives, I think I'll be able to use it perfectly!" Zhao Shengkai said calmly.

"You're amazing!"

Cupping his hands, Zheng Hongyu silently returned to his bedside and started working hard!

They were all aiming for the stars, and he had to work hard too.

Since Energy Potions went online on Taobao, several similar items were successively launched on various e-commerce platforms in the following days. Things like energy pills and body-tempering potions, which sounded completely unreliable, also appeared before the public.

Although these things sounded rather dubious, there were still quite a few people scrambling to buy them. After all, no matter how unreliable they seemed, there would always be someone who believed they were real…

Under the wave of national cultivation, five days passed in a flash!

During this time, Su Li lived a very peaceful life. He attended classes when he had them, and when he didn't, he would stay to "cultivate."

Of course, in reality, he was staying in the Virtual Universe.

In the Virtual Universe, Su Li didn't spend all his time on Primal Star. The continuous killing had left his mental state not very good, so it was necessary to set aside some essential recovery time!

Furthermore, besides Primal Star, Tianling Star had become the planet Su Li spent the most time on.

Over the past few days, Su Li had been trying to gather information about other God Remnants on Tianling Star, but unfortunately, his progress was minimal!

Su Li estimated that those God Remnants were either not yet discovered, or they had been hidden away by some private collectors!

He figured that finding their whereabouts would likely require the help of locals from Tianling Star, but clearly, that wasn't a very likely scenario.

However, Su Li wasn't too anxious right now. He planned to get his hands on the remnant he knew about first, see how high the reward was, and then decide whether to invest more effort into Tianling Star.

Just as merchants need to conduct risk assessments before entering a new field, Su Li felt that he, being in this line of work, needed some rational analysis even more!

As for how to obtain the remnant that was collected in the museum…

After careful consideration over the past few days, Su Li finally, and helplessly, discovered that outright theft was indeed the most convenient and straightforward method!

He had genuinely wanted to be a good person, but reality truly didn't allow it.
