In the early morning, Xu Tui woke from his deep sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

He felt refreshed.

His mind was full of energy.

"It seems the Mental Power Old Battery Theory is correct."

When he had been attempting his fifteenth Gene Point, Xu Tui had directly fallen unconscious.

Xu Tui speculated that the reason for his unconsciousness was likely due to his mental power being completely depleted.

When he woke up that morning, Xu Tui felt groggy and listless.

Conversely, during the cultivation process over the next two days, Xu Tui would quickly fall into a deep sleep the moment he felt extreme fatigue, or rather, the bodily reaction indicating his mental power was about to be exhausted.

After waking up, he felt refreshed.

Xu Tui silently added another rule to his cultivation guidelines.

Upon waking, the first thing Xu Tui did was not to relieve himself, but to step on the scale.

Yesterday, he had cultivated after consuming F-grade and E-grade Energy Supplement Potions.

If he had lost weight again this morning, Xu Tui wouldn't even think about cultivating for a while.

130 jin.

This number made Xu Tui's heart relax.

He quickly went to relieve himself.

Afterward, he weighed himself again: 129 jin.

Xu Tui was completely relieved.

He hadn't lost weight; he had even gained a jin.

It was just that the weight gain was too slow compared to how fast he lost it.

Xu Tui didn't rush to eat breakfast. Perhaps because he had used the energy potions, he didn't feel very hungry this morning.

Xu Tui was somewhat impatient and began to test the changes in his body.

Last night, he had simultaneously activated his seventeenth and eighteenth Gene Points. The process of activating these two Gene Points had brought him noticeable physical sensations.

Xu Tui felt that these two Gene Points were definitely related to the Limitless System and should strengthen his basic physical qualities.

His left leg was indeed different.

When he walked, his left leg felt heavier.

It felt a bit like limping.

His jumping ability, basic strength, and even speed in his left leg were now significantly superior to his dominant right leg.

The improvement should be over ten percent, and it appeared to be a comprehensive enhancement.

If he were in today's state during the incident at the milk tea shop the day before yesterday, Xu Tui's kicking speed would have been faster. The traitor codenamed 'Long Underwear' would likely have been completely incapacitated by that kick.

This was Xu Tui's conclusion after working on it for a while.

The testing conditions were limited, and the testing methods were simple, so this was all he could do.

The sensation in his right hand surprised Xu Tui.

It wasn't hand speed.

It was finger strength.

At this moment, each of the five fingers on Xu Tui's right hand contained immense power.

Xu Tui could feel that power without even testing it.

His finger joints were also exceptionally flexible.

With a flick of his finger, it actually produced a buzzing sound as it cut through the air.

Xu Tui was stunned by this finger strength.

After a moment of stunned silence, Xu Tui suddenly pulled out a deck of playing cards from his desk drawer.

He pinched and flicked them.

The playing cards shot out like darts, hitting the wall.

They didn't embed themselves.

Years ago, when he was an angsty teenager, Xu Tui had practiced the Playing Card Dart Method extensively just to look cool.

Xu Tui paused for a moment before suddenly realizing.

The Playing Card Dart Method required not only skill and finger strength but also wrist strength and the coordinated power of the forearm muscles.

Currently, he only possessed immense finger strength alone.

His gaze swept around, and he found a few round dried soybeans in the bowl of dried fruit on his desk, which he was eating as a snack.

He placed them on his fingertips.

With a flick of his finger.

Whoosh!

The sound of air exploding and impact rang out simultaneously.

The dried soybean had been pulverized, leaving no trace.

But on the wall of Xu Tui's bedroom, a new pit had appeared.

A pit, two centimeters deep, with spatter marks.

This was a cement brick wall, covered with only a thin layer of wallpaper.

Looking at the spatter pit, Xu Tui stared blankly for a while.

Only one thought repeated in his mind: what would happen if the target were a person's body?

What if it were a vital part of the body, like the head or eyes?

What if the dried soybean were replaced with a metal object, the lethality...

If he had had this ability during the milk tea shop incident two days ago.

Why would there have been so much trouble?

"Accuracy!"

Xu Tui thought of another problem.

Besides striking power, there also needed to be accuracy.

Critical hits are only useful if they hit the vital spot!

For the next hour, Xu Tui was like a madman, flicking soybeans from his hand repeatedly, making the house ring with sounds.

Fortunately, Xu Tui had already controlled his strength, otherwise, the house wouldn't have been demolished, but half of the furniture and appliances would have been ruined.

At that point, the scene of Xu Tui leaving home wouldn't have been a farewell, but his mother chasing him out with a cleaver!

The gains were also significant!

Xu Tui discovered that the accuracy of his Bean Flicking Divine Ability was not very good.

For targets about the size of a fist, the hit rate within five meters was seventy percent. From five to ten meters, it was less than fifty percent.

Beyond ten meters, hitting the target was meaningless.

But around three meters, there were surprises.

Within Xu Tui's Mental Induction range, this Bean Flicking Divine Ability was a hundred percent accurate.

The power was also very strong.

Xu Tui had roughly measured his Mental Induction range to be three meters in Old Ban's office the day before yesterday.

Today, he felt the range had increased slightly, but he hadn't measured it specifically.

Xu Tui felt he should record this range.

Testing it was quite convenient.

He first closed his eyes and sensed his maximum Mental Induction range, noting the position of the furthest point. Then, Xu Tui found a ruler and measured it.

3.12 meters.

Xu Tui made another note in his small notebook.

Whether it had increased in the past two days or whether it would increase in the future, this number would show the result through comparison.

It was time to leave.

His mother was very worried, worried Xu Tui wouldn't eat enough, worried the food outside wouldn't be tasty, worried someone would bully Xu Tui, worried no one would wash Xu Tui's clothes when they got dirty, worried Xu Tui would be bullied when he was away from home.

"What's there to worry about? We'll video call him when he gets to school."

With his father's straightforward comfort, his mother wasn't too worried.

But when he was leaving, she wished she could have made Xu Tui pack a refrigerator.

She only regretted that Xu Tui's suitcase was too small.

She really wanted to fill Xu Tui's suitcase and bags to the brim with food.

Ideally, she wished for a dimensional storage space.

Finally, Xu Jianguo stopped his wife.

"Their treatment on the road should be good. If we pack too much food, it'll spoil and be a waste, and it'll make the child carry a heavy load."

"That's true."

However, Xu Tui still packed a few extra bags of food.

Prepared for Cheng Mo.

The feeling of his stomach cramping from hunger was too unbearable.

Additionally, Xu Tui also packed a large bag of soybeans.

Like a snack.

Of course, it's also fine to use it for the Bean Flicking Divine Ability.

He also brought a box of Bucky magnetic balls.

A type of decompression toy.

He occasionally played with them while studying before.

The reason he brought them today was that these things were said to be made of iron.

They were a bit heavy.

Xu Tui didn't know if they were solid.

But these things were definitely much harder than soybeans.

After the tracking and the milk tea shop incident, Xu Tui's self-preservation awareness grew stronger and stronger.

"Study hard when you get there. The future world is brilliant, but also cruel. Work hard!" At the departure assembly point, the homeroom teacher Yu Zeping gave Xu Tui a heavy hug!

"Cheng Mo, you too. Although you eat a lot, as long as you consume enough, you won't get fat," the homeroom teacher encouraged.

"Don't worry, homeroom teacher."

"I hope you'll bring a girlfriend to see me a year from now, preferably one who smiles."

Cheng Mo, who had been smiling, felt a pang in his heart. He released his hug from the homeroom teacher and turned to pack his luggage and board the bus, waving as he walked.

"Mom, don't worry, I definitely will. A year from now, I'll bring the campus belle from Huaxia Gene Evolution University to see you."

"Mm, good!" Mom Yu Zeping beamed, then suddenly shouted, "Don't forget to bring a pack of Huazi."

Xu Tui and Cheng Mo, who were about to board the bus, stumbled. They almost fell. The mood had changed too quickly.

"What the heck, Cheng Mo, you little brat, you didn't forget, did you?

That pack of Huazi I left in the drawer two months ago, each pack only had one or two cigarettes after opening. Wasn't it you?

Do you want me to say that pigs smoke them?" Homeroom teacher Yu Zeping roared.

"Homeroom teacher, you smoke them too, okay," Cheng Mo said quietly as he looked back.

He was stunned for a moment.

Homeroom teacher Yu Zeping, who had reacted, jumped up and down in anger.

Cheng Mo began to board the bus.

On the maglev bus, a voice made Xu Tui, who had boarded first, frown, feeling somewhat annoyed.

"Still thinking of bringing back the campus belle from Huaxia Gene Evolution University? He's dreaming." A large-eared youth, who was sturdy but had an extremely streamlined physique, sneered coldly.

"Tong Qi, he's not just dreaming. Do you know who he is?" He Mingxuan, who had also boarded, said with a sneer.

"Who?"

"It's Cheng Mo, Cheng Blackie, who activated the Rice Bucket Gene Point. Oh, did you see the news yesterday?

The gluttonous youth who was kicked out of the buffet restaurant and made the news, that's him," He Mingxuan said, pointing at Cheng Mo, who was boarding the bus.

"He activated the Rice Bucket Gene Point? And he still dares to think about the campus belle? He wouldn't even be a candidate for campus hunk.

He actually dares to daydream like this, is he an idiot?"

He Mingxuan laughed in agreement.

Before he could finish laughing, Xu Tui had already appeared in front of He Mingxuan, his face full of anger!

Valentine's Day, Zhu San has a question—logically speaking, Valentine's Day is mutual, so why is it that only women receive gifts, and men don't.

Zhu San doesn't either. Do you?
