Su Li did not enter the Virtual Universe this time, because he had no intention of "breaking through" for too long. Even if he went to the Virtual Universe, there was nothing he could do.
Bored, Su Li silently sensed the energy reactions within his body.
Hmm, the reaction was extremely faint. Su Li spent a long time carefully distinguishing them before he could tell which ones were the energy from the Energy Potion he had just drunk.
Tsk, one bottle was at most equivalent to ten liters of oil. Too realistic!
Su Li sighed, but he was not surprised. After all, this thing was meant for ordinary people. How incredible could it be?
In all fairness, for such a small bottle of liquid to contain the energy of ten liters of oil was already an astonishing amount!
In fact, drinking this stuff was basically the same as eating the meat of an F-class beast. I had killed who-knows-how-many of these things over the past few days, yet I hadn't eaten a single one. What a waste...
At that thought, Su Li suddenly froze. Ten thousand yuan in the real world seemed to be equivalent to one Resource Point.
Ten million would be one thousand points, one hundred million would be ten thousand points, and one billion would be one hundred thousand points...
Then what if he used Resource Points to materialize beast meat and sold it afterward? This... After pondering for a moment, Su Li suddenly came to a conclusion.
That would definitely be hugely profitable!
The effects of a few kilograms of F- beast meat would probably be comparable to one Energy Potion, let alone F-class and F+!
If that was the case, selling a kilogram of meat for one thousand yuan would not be excessive at all, right?
After removing the bones and other assorted parts, let's say a large beast had only two hundred kilograms of meat. That would still be two hundred thousand yuan!
Two hundred thousand yuan equaled twenty Resource Points. Su Li remembered that when he had killed an F- beast, he had received only five Resource Points. So even if he materialized it, the difference could not be too great, right?
Even if the difference was huge, he could simply raise the price in the real world. In short, this was a business guaranteed to make money without losing anything!
Although he was imagining it enthusiastically, Su Li had no intention of taking action immediately!
Su Li knew very well that doing this kind of business was like selling contraband salt in ancient times. He would be taking food straight from the state's mouth!
Without sufficient strength, wouldn't he be forced to kneel in no time?
"I'm still a little weak right now. I probably need to reach at least E+.
"No, I have to wait until I reach D-. Only then can I be completely safe!
"No rush. At my rate of advancement, it probably won't take long to reach D-. Laying low and developing is the way to go."
Su Li had originally intended to "break through" for only a short while. However, because of his sudden burst of imagination, he ended up "breaking through" for three whole hours.
When Su Li opened his eyes, the three people who had been watching him were already gone.
Su Li turned his head and glanced over. Zhang Yu was exercising, while Zheng Hongyu was studying the Breathing Technique with great effort. The scene was deeply touching!
"Old Su, you're awake?" Zhang Yu noticed that Su Li had opened his eyes and quickly asked, "How was it? Was the Energy Potion effective?"
"The effect was all right."
Su Li nodded indifferently.
"Then..."
Seeing that Su Li's face showed no particular emotion, Zhang Yu opened his mouth, but ultimately did not ask.
"You don't want to ask whether I succeeded?" Seeing Zhang Yu looking as though he wanted to speak but stopped himself, Su Li asked with a grin.
"You succeeded?!"
Actually, when Zhang Yu had seen that Su Li showed no joy at all, he had assumed Su Li had failed. That was why he had ultimately refrained from asking.
But looking at Su Li's expression now, Zhang Yu felt that he might have succeeded!
"What? Su Li, you succeeded?" Zheng Hongyu finally reacted as well and instantly stood up.
"Hehe, don't get excited. Sit down!"
Su Li pressed both hands downward, then said, "Since you asked so sincerely, then..."
As Su Li spoke, he suddenly raised both hands. In an instant, a semi-transparent, crystal-like longsword appeared in his hands.
"This, this..."
Zheng Hongyu and Zhang Yu's eyes widened.
"Hehe, it's not over yet!"
Su Li smiled. The longsword in his hand gradually vanished. In the next moment, five or six small swords of the same style but different sizes appeared above Zheng Hongyu's head.
"Old Zheng, Old Zheng..." Zhang Yu pointed at Zheng Hongyu's head, but in the next moment, he let out a startled cry as those small swords flew straight toward him.
"Ahhhhhhh..."
For a while, Room 414 at Donghai University was as lively as a pot of boiling water!
Ten minutes later—
Zhang Yu sat on his bed with an aggrieved look, staring resentfully at Su Li.
Zheng Hongyu wore more or less the same expression.
"Cough, you two big shots, it was my fault. I was only trying to demonstrate the superpower I acquired. How about..." Seeing their expressions, Su Li knew he had gone a little too far this time, so he was actively admitting his mistake.
Not only that, he also promised to take them out for a night of fun, with them free to choose the venue!
Under Su Li's sincere attitude, Zheng Hongyu and Zhang Yu finally put away their resentful looks. At the same time, they became interested in the superpower Su Li had displayed.
"So, what exactly is that thing of yours? The Superhuman in the video could control flames. That was easy enough to understand! Yours is a little too mysterious!" Zhang Yu asked curiously.
"It does feel rather grand!" Zheng Hongyu added.
"Of course. It's my superpower, after all!" Su Li smiled, then continued.
"I've named this ability Unlimited Blade Works. Now do you understand?"
"Unlimited Blade Works? Isn't that a little too chuunibyou?"
Zhang Yu was speechless. It was obviously the name of a move from some anime!
"Hehe, I think it sounds great and imposing!"
As Su Li spoke, another semi-transparent small sword appeared in his hand. He then waved it through the air several times.
The two of them: "..."
Seeing their speechless expressions, Su Li smiled and said nothing.
The so-called Unlimited Blade Works was actually Su Li separating carbon atoms from the carbon dioxide in the air, then synthesizing carbon metal and shaping it into swords, thereby achieving an effect similar to Unlimited Blade Works.
Of course, although the skill looked cool, it was actually of no help to Su Li at all.
Separating carbon atoms from carbon dioxide consumed a considerable amount of energy. Synthesizing carbon metal also required energy, and even making the small swords fly through the air required energy.
Most importantly, because Su Li's manipulation of carbon atoms operated on a microscopic level, the carbon-metal swords flew at an appallingly slow speed. That speed was enough to deal with F-class Superhumans, but confronting E-Class Superhumans with it would be nothing short of suicide!
Because Su Li had "become" a Superhuman, Zhang Yu and Zheng Hongyu were extremely excited throughout the afternoon. They dragged Su Li into all kinds of conversations, as though they were the ones who had become Superhumans.
"Old Su, when are you planning to register with the Detective Bureau?" Zheng Hongyu asked with great concern.
"Tomorrow." Su Li thought for a moment before answering.
According to the Detective Bureau's eight regulations, after ordinary people became Superhumans, they had to register at the nearest Detective Bureau within the stipulated time. Otherwise, once they were discovered concealing the truth, they would face detention and a fine for minor offenses, or have their superpowers abolished—or even be executed on the spot—for serious offenses.
There was no room for compromise in this regard!
Still, this was the correct approach. Otherwise, if everyone hid their identities, the world would inevitably fall into chaos!
"That's great. Maybe you'll even get to meet Director Ye. I heard she's an incredibly powerful Superhuman!" On the other side, Zhang Yu said enviously.
Su Li glanced at Zhang Yu but said nothing.
Someone like Zhang Yu, a half-shut-in, had previously only liked the goddesses from anime. After all, they were beautiful, powerful, and practically perfect.
But now, his interests seemed to have undergone a slight change...
In Zhang Yu's worldview, Ye Mohan might truly resemble those goddesses from anime!
Bzzzz!
Just as Su Li was about to say something, his phone suddenly vibrated.
Su Li: "..."
Su Li took out his phone and glanced at it. The expression on his face immediately froze.
"Guys, I'm afraid I can't take you out tonight after all. How about we do it another time?" Su Li looked at the two of them and spoke awkwardly.
The two of them: "..."
