"This is life!"
Standing on the cross-sea bridge in Donghai City, Su Li gazed at the skyscrapers in the distance, each with its own unique shape, and the colorful lights. For a moment, countless vague insights surged into his mind.
He felt an urge to chant a poem, but since he had no literary talent to speak of, Su Li could only abandon the idea.
As he looked at the vast scenery before him, the murderous aura that had built up in his heart from killing too much gradually faded away. Once again, he felt the beauty of life!
After walking two more laps across the bridge, he failed to encounter the romantic meeting he had vaguely anticipated. In fact, most of the people passing through were hurrying along, with not the slightest intention of stopping to admire the beautiful scenery!
Su Li guessed that these people were probably rushing home to study the Breathing Technique or exercise their bodies. After all, it was still early. Most people would not be willing to give up the chance to become Superhumans until they had tried and failed miserably!
"Tsk, forget it. I'm going back!"
After shaking his head and muttering to himself, Su Li completely let go of his unrealistic expectations and prepared to return to school.
However, before Su Li had taken more than a few steps, a dark figure suddenly shot past him.
No, to ordinary people, it would have looked like a dark shadow. But in Su Li's eyes, the person who had passed in front of him was merely a slightly faster Superhuman—at most F-class, probably like Ye Mohan, another Superhuman cultivated in advance by the country. There was nothing worth paying attention to.
As for his appearance, he was probably a middle-aged man with ordinary features. There was likewise nothing worth paying attention to!
Su Li shrugged and continued walking forward.
A moment later, another figure flashed past him.
Su Li: "..."
What the hell? Is there a Superhuman marathon tonight? Why are they running around outside in the middle of the night? What if they scare someone?
These people from the Detective Bureau had no idea what it meant to keep a low profile!
Finally, nothing else happened after that, and Su Li soon returned to the dormitory.
Zhao Shengkai had already returned by then, so all three of them were there.
However, the three of them were huddled together, apparently looking at something interesting!
"Hey, what are you three looking at?" Su Li crept over and suddenly stretched out his head for a look.
The three of them: "..."
"Holy crap, what's this? Energy Potion? Energy Potions can provide a large amount of energy and help with Breathing Technique cultivation, and the price is... three thousand yuan a bottle?!" Su Li read through what the three of them were looking at in surprise, then said,
"This is Taobao, right? Has Taobao started scamming people too? What an obvious fraud!"
"Su Li, you nearly scared me to death!" Zheng Hongyu said helplessly as he handed his phone to Su Li. Then he continued,
"Here, take a look. This went online on Taobao tonight. It seems to have been provided by a research laboratory at some university. But the project was funded by the state, so technically speaking, this is still a state-owned product. It shouldn't be fake!"
"Tsk, three thousand yuan a bottle. That's worth five hundred liters of oil!" Su Li exclaimed as he looked at it.
"Can this thing be compared to oil? If you've got the guts, go drink a couple of mouthfuls of oil and see!"
"I was just saying!"
Su Li smiled and returned the phone to Zheng Hongyu.
"What about you, Su Li? Do you want to buy one?" Zheng Hongyu asked.
"I'm not buying one..."
Su Li was just about to say that he would not buy one, but he abruptly stopped.
Although spending three thousand yuan on an Energy Potion that was practically guaranteed to be useless to him seemed wasteful, it also provided an excellent excuse!
In a few days, he would be "breaking through" and becoming a Superhuman. Wasn't this Energy Potion the perfect excuse?
Genius Su Li had drunk an Energy Potion, and the quantitative change had triggered a qualitative transformation, instantly turning him into a Superhuman. Who could say anything about that?
After pondering for a moment, Su Li suddenly said, "I'll buy two! Lao Zheng, pay for me first. I'll transfer the money to you later!"
"Sure!"
Zheng Hongyu was not surprised that Su Li wanted to buy them. After all, Su Li had already learned the Breathing Technique, so he could make use of this thing.
As long as they were not too poor, ordinary people would buy a bottle of something this good to try. What if it worked?
Besides, Su Li was not poor. Just a few days ago, he had won one hundred thousand yuan on the Donghai Glutton King!
"Wait, buy one for me too!"
Zhao Shengkai suddenly spoke up.
Zheng Hongyu: "..."
"I feel like I'm about to learn the Breathing Technique. By the time this thing arrives, I think I'll be able to use it," Zhao Shengkai said calmly.
"You're awesome!"
After cupping his hands, Zheng Hongyu silently returned to his bed and began working hard!
One after another, they were all trying to ascend to the heavens. He had no choice but to work harder.
After the Energy Potion went online on Taobao, several similar products appeared on various e-commerce platforms over the next few days. Things with names that sounded just as unreliable, such as Energy Pills and Body Tempering Potions, also successively entered the public eye.
Although these things did not sound very reliable, plenty of people still scrambled to buy them. After all, no matter how unreliable something seemed, there would always be people who believed it was the real deal...
Amid the nationwide cultivation craze, five days passed in the blink of an eye!
During this period, Su Li's life was very peaceful. He attended class when he had classes, and when he did not, he stayed in his room to "cultivate."
Of course, in reality, he was staying in the Virtual Universe.
In the Virtual Universe, Su Li did not spend all his time on Primal Star. The constant killing had left his mental state rather poor, so setting aside some necessary time for recovery was extremely important!
Besides Primal Star, Tianling Star had become the planet where Su Li spent the most time.
Over the past few days, Su Li had constantly tried to obtain information about other God Remnants on Tianling Star. Unfortunately, he had gained very little!
Su Li guessed that those God Remnants had either not yet been discovered or had been hidden away by private collectors!
To find out where those things were, he would probably need the help of a local on Tianling Star. Clearly, that was not very likely.
However, Su Li was not in too much of a hurry now. He planned to first obtain the remnant he knew about and see whether the reward was good. Then he would decide whether to invest more effort in Tianling Star.
Merchants had to conduct a risk assessment before entering any field. Su Li felt that, since he was in this line of work, he needed to make an even more rational analysis!
As for how to obtain the remnant that had been stored in a museum...
After carefully considering it for the past few days, Su Li finally discovered helplessly that simply taking it by force was indeed the most convenient and straightforward method!
He had genuinely wanted to be a good person, but reality truly left him no choice.
