Setting a Small Goal for Myself

The consumption from cultivation is a bit high.

After a quick calculation, Xu Tui started to panic a little.

Of the ten bottles of E-grade energy potions his dad gave him, only two were left.

And from last night until now, Xu Tui had consumed a staggering five bottles of E-grade Energy Supplement Potions.

That amounted to 25,000 yuan if converted to money.

Of course, the reason for such high consumption was that Xu Tui had some free time today, sleeping during the day to restore his mental power.

But even when classes started during the day in the future, if he only cultivated for one to two hours at night, Xu Tui estimated that his nightly consumption of E-grade Energy Supplement Potions would be between two and three bottles.

Three bottles would be 15,000 yuan.

At this rate, he'd run out in about two months.

Xu Tui currently had some savings.

With the merit rewards from the two previous times, plus Yuan Shu's compensation, Xu Tui now had a hefty sum of 950,000 yuan.

Ah, and the 50,000 yuan from his dad, Xu Jianguo.

However, it was almost all spent.

Tuition, insurance, and accommodation fees alone cost over 42,000 yuan, and after some miscellaneous expenses, he had a little over 6,000 yuan left.

This was for living expenses and emergencies, and couldn't be touched.

The only funds available for Xu Tui's cultivation were the 950,000 yuan, and of course, the grade-based benefits provided by the school.

At this very moment, Xu Tui really missed classmate Yuan Shu.

Given the conflict at the Limitless Academy before, Xu Tui would gladly go through ten or eight more such incidents.

If that were the case, classmate Yuan Shu could cover Xu Tui's cultivation expenses for the year.

Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking.

Therefore, at this moment, Xu Tui desperately wanted to make money.

Yesterday, as soon as he learned he had obtained D-grade lower authority, Xu Tui had thought of a way to trade.

Among the benefits of personal authority, purchasing E-grade energy potions offered no discount for E-grade intermediate, but E-grade advanced provided a 5% discount.

And with D-grade lower authority, he could enjoy a whopping 10% discount.

In other words, an E-grade Energy Supplement Potion with a market price of 5,000 yuan could be obtained for only 4,500 yuan with Xu Tui's current personal authority.

And in Huaxia Gene Evolution University today, neither students from the Limitless Academy nor the Mysterious Academy could do without E-grade Energy Supplement Potions.

Students from the Limitless Academy needed to constantly replenish their physical energy with E-grade Energy Supplement Potions to train their physical abilities.

For students in the Limitless System, E-grade Energy Supplement Potions not only quickly replenished depleted physical energy but also rapidly alleviated muscle fatigue and increased workout frequency.

It goes without saying for the Mysterious Academy.

Xu Tui's consumption of two to three bottles a day was an isolated case, an exception, but it was reasonable for other students to consume one bottle every one to two days, right?

How many students were there in Huaxia Gene Evolution University?

There were nearly 8,000 freshmen, and with all students, including those not yet graduated, the total exceeded 40,000.

A market of 40,000 people!

Not much was needed, Xu Tui had calculated.

He would buy one bottle of E-grade Energy Supplement Potion for 4,500 yuan and sell it for 4,700 yuan, making a profit of only 200 yuan.

As long as he had a hundred customers, selling one bottle a day.

That would be 20,000 yuan a day!

Becoming rich was definitely not a dream!

If he had more customers, in addition to cultivation, he could save up for a Repulsion Flying Skateboard within a semester without any problem.

This was Xu Tui's grand plan to make money.

Now, there was only one problem.

How much stock could the Potion Center sell him?

If he bought a lot, could he get an additional half-percent discount on the purchase price?

At this moment, Xu Tui transformed into a meticulous little shopkeeper.

The Huaxia Gene Evolution University Potion Center was a comprehensive center.

It combined functions such as potion supply, benefit distribution, and potion research and testing.

Of course, the third function had nothing to do with Xu Tui at present.

Xu Tui's main purpose for coming was to discuss a major potion business, and then casually collect his grade-based benefits.

However, Xu Tui's major potion business ended before it even began after only asking two questions.

"Hello, can you check my authority? Do I get a discount when buying E-grade Energy Supplement Potions?"

In the lobby, Xu Tui found a receptionist and proactively displayed his D-grade lower authority.

This D-grade lower authority didn't blind the receptionist, who merely glanced at Xu Tui again.

Clearly, they had seen many high-authority personnel at this potion center.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. With your personal authority at D-grade lower, you are entitled to a 10% discount. To purchase one E-grade Energy Supplement Potion, you will need to spend 4,500 yuan."

"Hmm, then what's the maximum number of E-grade Energy Supplement Potions I can buy at once? One hundred, or a thousand?" Xu Tui was a little excited.

"Hello, Mr. Xu. According to personal authority regulations, the annual total limit for purchasing E-grade Energy Supplement Potions at a discounted price is 100 units, with a monthly withdrawal limit of 10 units."

Xu Tui felt like a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head.

Ice cold!

His grand plan to make money had shattered before it even began!

"So little?" Xu Tui was very sad.

"Mr. Xu, these are personal authority regulations. If you exceed this quantity, you will have to purchase at the original price. Please understand."

"Sigh..."

Xu Tui let out a long sigh.

"Give me twenty units first, and then, please also give me this month's grade-based benefits." After a long pause, Xu Tui said helplessly.

"Certainly, Mr. Xu."

Ten minutes later, Xu Tui left the Huaxia Gene Evolution University Potion Center with thirty F-grade Energy Supplement Pills and twenty-five E-grade Energy Supplement Potions.

Five bottles of E-grade and thirty F-grade pills were from his grade-based benefits.

Ten bottles were at the discounted price, and ten were at the original price.

He had paid a total of 95,000 yuan.

Saving 5,000 yuan.

Xu Tui's wealth instantly shrunk by a tenth.

This further intensified Xu Tui's anxiety.

How to make money had officially been put on the agenda.

It even surpassed cultivation, taking the top position.

It couldn't be helped. Cultivation was important.

But without money, he couldn't cultivate.

Moreover, earning small amounts of money wouldn't cut it.

If Xu Tui went to work part-time, worked an hour after class, or delivered food in his spare time.

No.

Doing that in his spare time for a month would at most earn him two to three thousand yuan.

It might supplement his living expenses.

To rely on that for cultivation? A pipe dream.

He had to find a path with a substantial income.

A path that earned him ten to twenty thousand yuan, or even eighty to ninety thousand yuan without complaint.

However, Xu Tui wasn't foolish.

Such money-making paths weren't easy to find.

If they were that easy to find, the average salary in Kyoto Prefecture would probably be pulled up by another ten or eight yuan.

"Shit is hard to eat, money is hard to earn" wasn't just a saying.

"I can only search slowly. For now, I'll cultivate and strengthen myself."

On the way back to the dormitory, Xu Tui set a small goal for himself.

First, spend this 950,000 yuan!

In about two months, the second layer of the Mind Sea Concentration Gene Forging Knowledge Method version 4.9 would be completed.

Money, hoarding it brought peace of mind.

But it only had value when spent.

On the way, Xu Tui sent a message to An Xiaoxue, asking a question.

"Teacher An, are there any methods to quickly restore mental power?"

"As of now, the fastest method to restore mental power is sleep, deep sleep.

Some stimulant potions generally have side effects, or long-term use can cause the body to develop resistance.

They are for wartime use."

"It's highly not recommended to train under normal circumstances."

"Is there any possibility of recovering mental energy without sleep?"

"Yes!"

"Consuming high-energy foods can restore a small amount of mental energy, but it cannot alleviate mental fatigue.

Napping, meditating, relaxing, and short periods of sleep can all restore a certain amount of mental energy.

But none are as effective as deep sleep."

"Thank you, Teacher An."

An Xiaoxue's answers confirmed Xu Tui's thoughts.

After waking up from his nap at noon, Xu Tui trained for an hour and a half, and his mental energy was almost depleted. Although he hadn't reached his limit, he wasn't far from it.

After eating just now, Xu Tui felt slightly more energetic, but the fatigue deep in his mind still remained.

And during the more than an hour of rushing around on the road, the fatigue deep in Xu Tui's mind not only didn't alleviate but even slightly worsened.

Under his powerful Mental Induction, Xu Tui was fully aware of the changes in his body.

Upon returning to the dormitory, just as Xu Tui was about to open the door, his eyes suddenly moved, and he looked towards the corner of the nearby wall.

A knowing smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

However, he pretended not to know and said, "Who's there, come out!"

Cheng Mo, whose physique had become noticeably fuller, emerged from the corner.

"Damn, you scared me to death. I thought it was your roommate, but it turns out it's you who's back."

Seeing Cheng Mo's sneaky appearance, Xu Tui suddenly said, "You know too?"

"Let's get into the dorm first, let's talk inside."

Seeing how cautious Cheng Mo was, Xu Tui felt a sense of relief.

"Holy crap, Little Leg, if you say you're not a rich guy now, I'll beat you to death. A double suite, seriously. Awesome!"

"You don't know, in our four-person room, one classmate snores so loudly it's like an earthquake. I didn't sleep well all night. I've already bought earplugs online today."

After a bit of dawdling, the two got down to business.

"Little Leg, you need to be more careful from now on. It's definitely that scoundrel Yuan Shu who's secretly stirring up trouble for you. One of the idiots in our dorm is already shouting about giving you a chance to witness the heroic demeanor of the Limitless System's superhumans! But don't worry. I've studied all the rules of our school, and private fights are strictly forbidden. However, three months after school starts, you can arrange duels in areas permitted by the school. But, you have to agree to it. If you don't agree, they can't force you into a duel. As for other school competitions and such, try to participate less, it should be safer. This matter will blow over in about half a year to a year. When a new batch of freshmen arrives next year, they'll overshadow you, and no one will remember you."

Cheng Mo rambled on, and Xu Tui was quite touched. The camaraderie forged in the small grove wasn't superficial.

"I understand. Actually, the more dangerous one is you. If someone really discovers our relationship, they might target you. Your Limitless System requires high-intensity training every day, and it's too easy for someone to target you," Xu Tui said.

"I know, otherwise, why would I be so cautious today?"

"Also, didn't Teacher An say before that you need to learn to protect yourself with rules? I'm already studying the rules," Cheng Mo grinned.

"By the way, did you stick with the method I taught you for consuming excess energy?" Xu Tui asked.

"It's only been two days, so there are no obvious effects yet, but there has been a slight change."

"What change?"

"In the five days since I activated my stomach Gene Points, I've been eating as much as I want every day. For the first three days, my weight increased by four to five catties daily. In the last two days, after trying your Engine Theory 2.0, the daily weight increase has dropped to below three catties."

Cheng Mo suddenly became excited as he spoke.

"Little Leg, do you know what this means to me?"

"This weight gain, as long as my bones heal, I can increase my training volume every day, and my weight might stay the same.

I won't become fat as a mountain!"

Xu Tui was silent for a while.

"I'm just worried that after your bones heal and you increase your training volume, you'll eat even more, and then..."

Cheng Mo: "..."

Before going to sleep, Xu Tui received another call from Chai Xiao.

"Brother, I'm sorry. Yuan Shu tricked me too. I called him, and he said it was just clickbait and had nothing to do with him."

"Brother Chai, it's not your fault. Can the idiots from the Limitless System still come to my dorm?" Xu Tui said.

On the other end of the phone, Chai Xiao's mouth twitched.

Idiots from the Limitless System.

Damn it.

He was also from the Limitless System.

"If someone deliberately causes trouble for you, use my name.

If that doesn't work, tell me, and I'll go cause trouble for them," Chai Xiao said righteously.

"Thanks, Brother Chai."

"Get lost! Say thank you again, and I'll cut ties with you!"

"Okay!"

After hanging up, Xu Tui took a deep breath.

Tomorrow, classes would officially begin!

He could finally start systematically learning everything about gene-new humans and gene evolution!

He was very excited!

However, his cultivation couldn't stop!

Telling a bad joke: I remember many people's birthdays, But the only ones who remember mine are my mom, ICBC, CCB, SPD Bank, Minsheng Bank, China Mobile, China Telecom, Taobao, QQ, and a certain game project team.

All of them are Fortune Global 500 companies.

Oh, right, and a cute and beautiful reader miss.

Today, a toast to myself with a glass of turbid wine!
