Beautiful Roommate

<Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9, Part One>

This was the label on the contents of the projection card An Xiaoxue had given Xu Tui.

Projection cards were the new form of what people had once called memory cards or SSD hard drives.

Made from special materials, they could be read by a Personal Communication Device in a short time simply by placing them against it. Their contents could then be projected and viewed anytime, anywhere.

Of course, some projection cards had special requirements, such as passwords or permissions.

The projection card An Xiaoxue had given Xu Tui required a password.

But the password was as simple as it could possibly be: 0000!

This made Xu Tui doubt the value of the Wisdom Heart System's cultivation method.

Of course, it was more likely that An Xiaoxue's teacher wasn't worried about anyone secretly learning it.

As An Xiaoxue had said, without the ability to look within, anyone who tried to learn it secretly wouldn't get anywhere.

The name of the cultivation method alone told Xu Tui a lot.

Version 4.9.

It probably meant that the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method had undergone thirty-nine or forty-nine revisions.

That depended on whether the original version had started at 1.0 or 0.1.

Of course, most importantly, Version 4.9 gave Xu Tui the impression that it wasn't entirely reliable.

It felt like the thing was still being improved.

Xu Tui might very well be one of the test subjects in the process.

"But it's been revised at least thirty-nine times. It should be..."

Xu Tui reassured himself.

As for Part One, that was only to be expected.

If there was a Part One, there had to be a Part Two.

An Xiaoxue naturally wouldn't hand over such a precious method all at once.

Drawing on his experience as a top student in high school, Xu Tui first read through Part One of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9, to get a general understanding.

The end of the book listed several names.

Editor-in-chief: Shang Long.

Editors: Ji Guoliang and He Yunfeng.

Assistant editor: An Xiaoxue.

An Xiaoxue was an assistant editor, too. Xu Tui didn't know which version she had contributed to, but she must have made a contribution.

As for the editor-in-chief and the editors, he wondered which one was An Xiaoxue's teacher.

But the cultivation method itself quickly eclipsed Xu Tui's curiosity.

After just one read, it gave Xu Tui, who had previously understood very little about the Gene Points in the head—or, more precisely, those related to mental power—a basic understanding.

Part One of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9, divided the activation of mental power Gene Points into three parts.

They were three stages of cultivation, or three levels.

The first level.

A total of thirty-six Gene Points had to be activated. Once all thirty-six were activated, mental power could reach the E-grade level, also known as Materialization!

Why was it called Materialization?

Mental power was formless and intangible. Nobody could see or touch it.

But once these thirty-six Gene Points were activated, mental power could be expressed through real-world effects.

For example, flipping through a book from a distance.

Or reaching out from afar to flick a female classmate's long hair.

Or adding some tea leaves—or something else weird—to a teacher's cup through a wall.

That was Materialization!

It was also known as Micro Materialization.

Or Low-level Materialization.

Once enough mental power Gene Points were activated, they could affect the material world.

But the objects that mental power could affect were all very small and light, with little practical value in combat.

There were also few ways to use this ability. At most, one could gain a few auxiliary abilities.

For example, Mental Induction.

Its range and clarity varied from person to person.

There was also enhanced memory.

Or improved mental arithmetic.

Or willpower radiation, and so on.

The abilities one gained varied from person to person.

Generally speaking, once thirty-six Gene Points had been activated and mental power reached the level of Low-level Materialization, one could be recognized as an F-grade Gene Liberator.

If more than two auxiliary abilities were gained, one could be recognized as an E-grade Gene Liberator.

However, this classification didn't mean much.

Auxiliary abilities had very little impact on a person's overall strength.

Of course, it was a different story for those devoted to research.

That was the first level.

The book said that depending on one's talent and resources, completing the first level of cultivation usually took six months to a year.

Before completing the first level, students in the Wisdom Heart System—that is, those who cultivated Part One of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9—were still rather weak.

They didn't have much fighting power.

But the book said the same thing An Xiaoxue had: mental power was the foundation!

It was the foundation not only for New Gene Humans in the Mysterious System, but for all New Gene Humans.

The importance of this foundation only became apparent in the later stages.

After completing the first level, progress through the second level would be much faster.

During the second level, another twenty-four Gene Points had to be activated, bringing the total to sixty.

With the resulting increase in mental power, one could reach the level of High-level Materialization.

High-level Materialization had its own set of criteria, distinct from Low-level Materialization.

Put simply:

With Low-level Materialization, you could flip through a book, play with a female classmate's long hair, or sense whether she'd washed her hair that day. That was about it.

With High-level Materialization, you could use mental power to push a book off a desk and onto the floor.

You could even use mental power to bump into a female classmate's body, making her think someone had stolen a kiss from her.

Then she'd scream.

In reality, nothing had happened.

You could also do things on a larger scale.

For example, you could use mental power to pick a lock out of thin air, flip a switch, flush a toilet, or even unlock something.

All of that was possible.

Compared with Low-level Materialization, High-level Materialization had a little combat potential.

But it was still very weak.

At the same time, by activating a few specific Gene Points, one could gain some special abilities relatively easily and improve one's rating as a New Gene Human.

Quite a few of these abilities already had practical value in combat.

At this stage, students in the Wisdom Heart System who cultivated Part One of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9, were still relatively weak.

They were at the bottom of the rankings, whether in Huaxia Gene Evolution University as a whole or within the Mysterious System.

They basically had no combat ability.

This stage also took six months to a year.

In other words, under normal circumstances, talented students in the Wisdom Heart System who cultivated Part One of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9, needed at least a year to complete the first two stages. Slower students might need two years.

At the very least, they had to lie low for a year.

The third level was when talented students in the Wisdom Heart System began to shine.

The third level required activating another twelve Gene Points.

Once those twelve Gene Points were activated, the third level of cultivation would be complete.

As long as their mental power training kept pace, completing the third level would bring them to another level of Mental Power Cultivation: Object Manipulation!

Just like An Xiaoxue.

Within a certain range, it was practically a large-scale precision assassination technique.

And the attacks could curve, making them impossible to guard against.

It was far stronger than modern firearms and energy weapons—not by a little, either.

As for its range—

The silver pellets An Xiaoxue had used that day had seemed to have a range of over 150 meters.

At the moment, Xu Tui was using An Xiaoxue's demonstrated abilities as his point of reference.

That day, An Xiaoxue had also demonstrated her awesome ability to fly.

She could fly through the air without relying on any external force.

Xu Tui thought that if he could show off a trick like that, he was already handsome enough to begin with. He'd be so handsome he'd practically explode.

Just imagine how many admiring glances he'd attract.

Of course, Xu Tui was still sensible.

An Xiaoxue's demonstrated abilities—or, more accurately, her level of cultivation—were surely beyond the third level.

But Xu Tui had confidence in himself.

His Internal Vision was even more advanced: Illusory Internal Vision.

He should be able to activate Gene Points a little faster, right?

He probably wouldn't have to lie low for a whole year.

The methods for finding the Gene Points needed for cultivation were a bit strange.

For example, to find a certain Gene Point, you had to stare at a candle flame with your left eye for over an hour. Once your left eye started experiencing visual distortions and pain, you had to look within.

The spot in your head that hurt the most and felt the most uncomfortable was where the target Gene Point was located.

It was clear that this was an experience-based cultivation method, the result of countless attempts and countless failures by those who had come before.

The book also specifically noted that if someone couldn't pinpoint a particular Gene Point, they could ask their instructor to guide them through finding it.

After reading it once, reading it carefully, then reading it through once more, Xu Tui reread the section on the first level, the one he was about to cultivate. Only then did he finish watching the projection.

At that moment, Xu Tui noticed two new messages on his Personal Communication Device.

They were both from Gong Ling.

"Little Leg, I've checked in. My dorm is in Building 2, Zone B, Room 1507. Come visit when you have time. My roommate is really pretty!"

"Little Leg, remember to tell me when you've checked in. My roommate really is pretty."

Reading the messages, Xu Tui fell into deep thought.

Back in high school, everyone had been busy, and the female students hadn't spent much time dressing themselves up. Their clothes had also been restricted, so he hadn't paid much attention to Gong Ling.

It wasn't until the university registration period that Xu Tui realized Gong Ling had big eyes and looked adorable when she smiled.

Most importantly, she had a great figure!

That raised the question: just how pretty would a roommate who was prettier than Gong Ling be?

At the thought, Xu Tui glanced toward the other side of the quiet room.

Where was his roommate?

After a nice, hot shower, he put on a loose pair of shorts, climbed into bed, and got ready to sleep and cultivate!

Then Xu Tui began his first formal cultivation session.

His first formal cultivation session of the first level of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method, Version 4.9.

This time, he wouldn't have to stumble around blindly!
