Eighteen Gene Points

The small box contained ten sealed blister packs.

The moment he saw them, Xu Tui's eyes lit up.

These blister packs contained the F-grade Energy Supplement Pills that Xu Tui had bought that afternoon.

Xu Tui had only bought one pack.

Ten pills per pack.

His father had sent ten packs, which was one hundred pills.

A full ten thousand yuan.

However, what caught Xu Tui's eye were two rows of ten thumb-sized, hard, transparent sealed boxes, each containing a blue soft capsule.

Xu Tui didn't recognize these.

But there was small print on them.

He looked down and was startled. He suddenly looked up at his parents.

"Dad, this is an E-grade Energy Potion. Each one costs five thousand yuan, so ten of them are..." Xu Tui was very surprised.

These potions alone were sixty thousand yuan.

"What, you look down on your dad?" Xu Jianguo smiled. "Even though my salary isn't high, I've managed to save some money over the years."

"But Dad, I heard that buying these E-grade Energy Potions requires E-grade Authority."

"You underestimate your dad again. Your dad has E-grade Authority." His mother, Zhang Xiuli, said with pride.

Hearing this, his father, Xu Jianguo, looked smug.

It was rare for his wife to praise him.

"Jinbu, your dad is experienced. He knows that Gene Evolution University consumes a lot of resources.

Dad also knows why you've lost so much weight these past few days.

Use these first. They should be enough to cover your cultivation expenses."

As he spoke, his father, Xu Jianguo, pushed another card towards Xu Tui.

"Once you get to university, you'll definitely need to spend money on things. You young people like different things than we do.

So your mom and I didn't buy them for you.

There's fifty thousand yuan in this card. Buy whatever you like or need yourself," Xu Jianguo said.

Xu Tui fell silent.

He had some understanding of his family's financial situation.

His parents had scraped together over 110,000 yuan for him, essentially emptying their savings.

"Dad..."

"Behave!"

Before Xu Tui could finish speaking, Xu Jianguo, knowing what his son intended to say, cut him off.

Suddenly, Xu Tui's Personal Communication Device vibrated.

"Hello, citizen Xu Tui, your Personal Merit System has been activated. Current Merit Points: 6. F-grade authority."

"Hello, your personal identity-linked account has received a disbursement of 50,000 yuan from the Special Treasury Account. Item note: Bonus."

After reading the messages, Xu Tui chuckled.

He quickly pushed the card back in front of his father.

"Dad, look, I received a bonus. It's 50,000 yuan. You guys should keep this money."

"A bonus? 50,000 yuan?"

Xu Jianguo and his wife were completely bewildered.

The brilliant, brave, and handsome student featured in the news was actually their son.

No wonder that silhouette looked so familiar.

"Jinbu, how could you be so reckless? You actually provoked a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization? Those people are murderers who don't blink an eye. Your mother doesn't want you to achieve any merits; she just wants you to be safe."

As the truth came out, his mother became anxious.

Xu Jianguo remained silent for a moment, then pushed the card back to Xu Tui. He said in an irrefutable tone, "Take it. Your parents still have their salaries."

"When you get to university, study hard and improve yourself."

"Remember what your mother said. No matter what you do, you must be safe!"

Back in his room, Xu Tui took a long time to calm his emotions.

He spent a bit more time tidying up his clothes and supplies.

Although Xu Tui was handsome, the things he brought when going out were still simple, even for a long trip.

A larger suitcase was enough.

He washed up and went to bed.

First, he swallowed an F-grade Energy Supplement Pill.

He meditated.

He entered the Illusory Internal Vision state.

This time, it took a very short time, only four seconds.

At this moment, Xu Tui was observing the effect of the F-grade Energy Supplement Pill and did not engage in Mental Power Cultivation.

About 30 seconds later, the white light that had been flowing from his abdomen to all parts of his body suddenly increased exponentially.

Before the 30 seconds, about three to four streams of white light representing energy flowed out per second.

After 30 seconds, presumably after the effect of the F-grade Energy Supplement Pill began to take effect, the number of Energy White Light streams flowing throughout his body suddenly more than doubled.

There were between ten and twelve streams of Energy White Light per second.

Xu Tui did not rush to cultivate.

Instead, he began to observe quietly, quietly comprehending in this Illusory Internal Vision state.

He occasionally switched to True Internal Vision to observe the changes in his body.

While quietly comprehending, Xu Tui discovered that maintaining the Illusory Internal Vision or True Internal Vision state also consumed some mental power.

However, the consumption was very low.

If Xu Tui's consciousness, that is, his mental power, did not actively interfere, most of the Energy White Light flowing from his abdomen was directed towards the body's various organs and parts, accounting for seventy percent.

Of the remaining thirty percent, two and a half percent flowed into the activated Gene Points.

Only half a percent flowed randomly into those activated gray points.

Xu Tui observed for half an hour and found that the energy flowing into the gray points was not purely random.

Within Xu Tui's body, the frequency of Energy White Light flowing into the unactivated Gene Points in his brain was noticeably higher.

Unactivated Gene Points in his Left Calf also occasionally received Energy White Light.

As for the gray points in other areas, the probability of Energy White Light flowing into them was very low.

An F-grade Energy Supplement Pill's energy replenishment effect only lasted for half an hour before disappearing.

After finishing his cultivation, Xu Tui wasn't hungry at all. Instead, he felt his body filled with strength.

This should be the effect of the F-grade Energy Supplement Pill.

He swallowed another F-grade Energy Supplement Pill.

This time, Xu Tui began to use his mental power to influence the direction of energy flow.

The flow direction was still towards the gene base point in his left calf.

The gene base points in his head involved abilities that were too complex. Xu Tui didn't dare to touch them for now. He wanted to improve his cognitive level at Huaxia Gene Evolution University before proceeding.

Half an hour later, the medicinal effect of the F-grade Energy Supplement Pill wore off. The gene base point in his leg only swelled slightly and did not activate.

However, this time Xu Tui had a noticeable feeling.

His left calf felt a bit sore.

It seemed like he had activated the gene base point related to his left calf this time.

After finishing his cultivation, Xu Tui checked again.

He no longer felt the sense of being filled with strength he had after taking the first F-grade Energy Supplement Pill.

It must have been consumed during cultivation.

However, he also didn't feel the extreme emptiness he had after cultivating the previous two days.

"Should I try the effect of the E-grade Energy Supplement Potion?"

A few breaths later, Xu Tui swallowed a small blue pill, or rather, a blue soft capsule.

He then entered the Illusory Internal Vision state.

Actually, even if Xu Tui hadn't entered the Illusory Internal Vision state, he would have felt it.

The moment he swallowed it, his stomach felt like something had exploded.

Waves of heat surged towards all parts of his body.

Xu Tui felt incredibly invigorated.

Instantly, Xu Tui's mental power began to intervene and guide.

The Energy White Light brought by the E-grade Energy Supplement Potion was more than ten times that of the F-grade Energy Supplement Pill.

Each flash of Energy White Light was between ten and twelve times that of the F-grade.

At this moment, under Xu Tui's active guidance, they all surged towards the Gene Point in his left calf that he had previously targeted.

Almost at the same instant, Xu Tui's entire left calf became sore and swollen, even starting to hurt.

"Seems like a bit too much."

The strengthening of Gene Points would directly bring about physical changes.

If one over-strengthened the Gene Points in a certain area, it could cause damage to the body.

This was recorded in the materials obtained after the Gene Aptitude Test.

With a thought, the Energy White Light surging towards his left calf suddenly split into two.

Forty percent continued to be injected into the Gene Point in his left calf, while the remaining sixty percent was guided by Xu Tui into a Gene Point in his right hand.

It was chosen randomly.

The soreness and swelling in his left calf significantly slowed down.

But before long, all the fingers on his right hand also began to feel sore and swollen.

However, this level of soreness and swelling was still within his tolerance.

This situation continued for fifty minutes.

This Blue E-grade Energy Supplement Potion was indeed worthy of its price of five thousand yuan a pill, it was long-lasting!

It had been fifty minutes and it was still continuously supplying energy.

Resilient!

It was at the exact moment of the fifty-first minute that the two gray Gene Points in Xu Tui's left calf and right hand, which he had been continuously targeting, simultaneously swelled and flickered.

His left calf and right hand felt a sharp sting.

These two Gene Points were activated simultaneously.

Xu Tui's expression relaxed.

Eighteen Gene Points.

Up to this point, Xu Tui had activated eighteen Gene Points.

And these two Gene Points in his left calf and right hand, activated simultaneously today, would definitely bring about an improvement in Xu Tui's physical abilities based on the bodily reactions he felt.

It was highly likely to be an improvement in the so-called Limitless System abilities.

However, at this moment, the medicinal effects of the Blue Capsule were still ongoing, very persistent.

Five thousand yuan each.

Can't waste it.

Just as he was thinking.

Suddenly, an uncontrollable wave of fatigue surged over him.

Xu Tui instantly understood that his mental power was about to run out again.

After summarizing his mental power this morning, Xu Tui had searched online and on various small forums for many theories about mental power.

There wasn't much substance.

But there was a generally unified theory.

That was the Battery Theory.

A person's mental power was a bit like an Old Battery from a hundred years ago.

If it was completely discharged at once.

Then recovery would be a bit slow and even harmful.

Leaving a little residual charge, recovery would be much faster and not harmful.

In short, when using mental power, don't use it until it's completely depleted.

One should sleep immediately before the mental power is almost depleted, entering a recovery state.

Although Xu Tui didn't understand, he felt this theory made a lot of sense.

So, at the moment the uncontrollable fatigue struck, Xu Tui's consciousness instantly dispersed, and Illusory Internal Vision dissipated.

He completely relaxed and emptied himself, and under the influence of fatigue, he immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, Xu Tui had only one thought in his mind.

"Wasted!"

"The effects of the five-thousand-yuan Blue Capsule haven't been fully utilized yet, what a waste..."

Well, it's the Qixi Festival, Zhu San wishes all brothers and sisters a happy Valentine's Day, and wishes all lovers in the world a happy ending. I also wish every one of my brothers and sisters is loved and cherished by many people!
