Targeting Mid C-grade

Xu Tui currently faces three problems.

The most important is the issue of activating his Gene Points, which is to say, his cultivation.

Xu Tui urgently needs more systematic knowledge to determine his cultivation direction, rather than relying on luck.

Of course, Xu Tui is still very satisfied with his previous luck.

He is very satisfied with the Bean Flicking Divine Ability.

Xu Tui is eager to start learning.

The second problem is actually the same as Cheng Mo's problem—money!

You might ask if Xu Tui lacks living expenses.

He doesn't.

Xu Tui didn't bring a lot of money, but it wasn't a small amount either.

After paying tuition and accommodation fees, there was still quite a bit left.

When he came, his father also mentioned that he would give him about three thousand yuan in living expenses each month from now on.

That's not a small amount.

It's definitely enough for living.

In fact, it's more than enough.

But what Xu Tui lacks isn't living expenses, but cultivation expenses.

At Huaxia Gene Evolution University, one must be at least an E-grade Gene Liberator to attempt targeted gene mutation and advance to become a Gene Mutant.

However, it's clear that Xu Tui cannot and is unwilling to advance and break through at the E-grade level.

If possible, Xu Tui would prefer to advance and break through to become a Gene Mutant from the foundation of a C-grade or even a B-grade Gene Liberator.

This would mean his future growth ceiling would be a B-grade Gene Mutant, or even a B-grade Gene Evolver.

So, the problem arises: to become a C-grade Gene Liberator, one needs to activate seven sets of Gene Points, possessing seven types of abilities.

To become a B-grade Gene Liberator, one needs to activate nine sets of Gene Points, meaning nine types of abilities.

According to the average data, a set of Gene Points consists of 16 Gene Points on average. The more powerful and special the ability, the more Gene Points are required to activate it.

Based on this average data, activating nine sets of Gene Points would require activating approximately 144 Gene Points.

Xu Tui doesn't know the situation for others.

But he is very clear about his own situation.

Xu Tui has the ability to activate Gene Points independently. Activating one Gene Point might cost one bottle of E-grade Energy Supplement Potion.

And it's said that the further along one gets in activating a set of Gene Points, the greater the consumption.

Therefore, Xu Tui's preliminary estimate is that the future cultivation costs could start from a million yuan.

And that's just for the most basic Energy Supplement Potions.

Xu Tui is very aware of his family's financial situation.

His parents can cover his living expenses without any problem.

However, the expenses for cultivation will have to be solved by himself.

This is a long-term problem that Xu Tui will face in the near future.

This is the first time Xu Tui has faced the practical issue of money since leaving Jincheng Mansion.

He used to think his parents were a bit stingy.

Now, Xu Tui vaguely understands.

In this world, it's truly hard to earn money and hard to eat shit...

However, the third problem Xu Tui faces might solve his second problem to some extent.

The third problem is the freshman assessment and ranking at Huaxia Gene Evolution University.

Simply put, it's repeating the projects from the previous Gene Aptitude Test.

Compared to the national Gene Aptitude Test in Jincheng Mansion, the tests at Huaxia Gene Evolution University, a top institution, are more accurate and detailed.

Ranking is essentially the same as the previous scholarships.

In the current Gene Era, it's uniformly called student rank treatment.

When Xu Tui entered the freshman reception center earlier, he received a handbook that roughly introduced the student rank treatment at Huaxia Gene Evolution University.

The student rank division at Huaxia Gene Evolution University is basically consistent with other Gene Evolution Universities nationwide.

It still follows the current mainstream division.

From F to A grade.

F grade is naturally the lowest, and A grade is the highest.

But at Huaxia Gene Evolution University, if anyone gets an F grade evaluation, there will be trouble, especially for freshmen. They will likely be just one step away from dropping out.

Above F-grade, each grade is further divided into three tiers.

For example, a Mid C-grade rating would grant the treatment for Mid C-grade students.

A Mid C-grade rating would grant the treatment for Mid C-grade students.

This student ranking system is standardized nationwide.

However, the standards for assessment are different from other Gene Evolution Universities across the country; it could be said to be one of the Gene Evolution Universities with the highest assessment standards.

But likewise, the treatment received is also different.

High assessment standards mean extraordinary treatment.

The treatment for B-grade and A-grade is not mentioned in the introductory book, but the treatment for below B-grade is.

Coincidentally, Xu Tui lives in Jincheng Prefecture and has some understanding of the student grade treatment at Jincheng Prefecture Gene Evolution University, the best in Jincheng Prefecture.

For example, a Mid D-grade student at Jincheng Prefecture Gene Evolution University receives ten F-grade Energy Supplement Pills per month and one bottle of E-grade Energy Supplement Potion per year.

The total scholarship amount for the year is about 19,440 yuan, less than 20,000.

So what kind of treatment do Mid D-grade students at Huaxia Gene Evolution University receive?

Ten F-grade Energy Supplement Pills per month, one bottle of E-grade Energy Supplement Potion, and one bottle of Muscle Growth Enzyme Protein Potion.

The E-grade Energy Supplement Potion, which costs 5,000 yuan per bottle, was replaced with one bottle per month. This is ten times the treatment at Jincheng Prefecture Gene Evolution University.

Not to mention the bottle of Muscle Growth Enzyme Protein Potion, which is said to be priced at over a thousand yuan on the market.

The total scholarship amount for the year is as high as over 86,000 yuan.

This is four to five times that of Jincheng Prefecture Gene Evolution University.

Xu Tui's father's salary for a year might not even be this much.

This is also why Xu Tui is eyeing the grade assessment.

Based on the information available, the treatment for Mid C-grade is 20 F-grade Energy Supplement Pills per month, four bottles of E-grade Energy Supplement Potion, and two bottles of Muscle Growth Enzyme Protein Potion. These are substantial rewards, not including some functional ones.

But even these substantial rewards made Xu Tui very envious.

In a year, it's almost 300,000 yuan.

This is higher than the combined annual salary of his parents!

It's too tempting.

As long as he gets this Mid C-grade evaluation and enjoys the Mid C-grade scholarship, Xu Tui feels that one-third of his cultivation expenses will be covered.

To obtain this C-grade evaluation, the minimum requirement is to activate 20 Gene Points.

As for whether he can achieve a Low C-grade or High C-grade evaluation, that depends on his performance in other assessment items.

As for B-grade and higher A-grade evaluations, basically no freshmen can achieve them.

"So, the target is twenty Gene Points."

To obtain this Mid C-grade evaluation, Xu Tui decided on the spot to push himself again tonight.

Just which part to choose?

Xu Tui doesn't know how to choose a new part.

Gene Points can only exert powerful abilities when activated in a series; random activation is useless.

Xu Tui has two options.

One is to continue activating the Gene Points in his right hand or left lower leg.

However, this choice depends a bit on luck.

Who knows what type of Gene Points will be activated.

The fact that activating the Gene Points in his left lower leg earlier brought about changes in his hands has already taught Xu Tui one thing.

When activating Gene Points, the part you activate doesn't necessarily enhance the ability of that part.

At this moment, Xu Tui suddenly thought that the unique male private parts also have many Gene Points distributed on them, and what kind of abilities would the Gene Points there affect?

For a moment, Xu Tui's heart fluttered.

He wanted to try.

But in the end, Xu Tui calmed down.

This is a matter of great importance, so it's better not to try randomly.

It doesn't matter what strange abilities are unlocked, but what if it's destroyed...

"Then I'll activate the Bean Flicking Divine Ability in my left hand."

Xu Tui made his decision.

Many Gene Point locations in the limbs correspond to each other, and activating them should affect the same type of ability.

Activating one Gene Point corresponding to the Bean Flicking Divine Ability in his right hand in his left lower leg and left hand respectively.

At that time, Xu Tui's Bean Flicking Divine Ability could be activated with both hands.

If Xu Tui could also get some alloy beans, he'd be even more formidable.

If he were fortunate enough to unlock the Gene Points related to wrist strength in the future.

Then Xu Tui could even perform a cool poker-flying-knife kill!

After making his decision, Xu Tui stopped dawdling. He directly took out a bottle of E-grade Energy Supplement Potion and drank it, then adjusted his breathing and quickly meditated to enter the Illusory Internal Vision state.

He began to unlock his Gene Points on his own.

It's late at night, here's a little treat, pollution-free green tomatoes from my hometown.
