No Parking Here

The man crawled away from Xu Mo in terror.

To him, the person before him was practically a demon.

Xu Mo looked at the terror on the man's face and gave him a kindly smile.

"Officer, why do you look so scared? I'm a good person!"

"Look, lying in the middle of the road like this is dangerous. If a speeding vehicle comes along, you could easily get into an accident. Let me help you back into your car!"

As he spoke, Xu Mo grabbed the man by the throat without waiting for an answer and lifted him up.

He then stuffed him back into the police car.

For Xu Mo, whose strength was already approaching a ton, this was no difficult task.

The middle-aged officer seemed to realize what Xu Mo intended to do.

"No, no, please, let me go! I'll give all the money back to you!"

His hands trembling, the man pulled out the dollars he had just extorted from Xu Mo.

Under the fear of death, snot and tears streamed down his face.

Combined with the blood all over his face, it made Xu Mo look at him in disgust.

Xu Mo did not take the money he offered. Instead, he took out a lighter and slowly set fire to the dollars in the man's hand.

"Since you like dollars so much, I'll deposit them for you first!"

After saying something the man found incomprehensible, Xu Mo closed the car door for him.

"Sorry, Officer, no parking here!"

With that, Xu Mo raised his right leg and kicked the car hard.

The already precarious vehicle tilted under the immense force and fell straight off the cliff.

Boom!

As a violent explosion echoed from below, Xu Mo calmly returned to his own car.

The moment he started the engine, two notifications sounded in his mind.

"Points +30!"

"Points +40!"

Sure enough, his guess had been correct.

As long as someone had done evil, the system would classify them as villains.

The points he gained from the two men were different, which was understandable. The system presumably determined the points awarded based on their respective good-and-evil values.

Inside the villa's gym.

Xu Mo punched the sandbag in front of him.

A sharp burst rang out.

The sandbag exploded under his tremendous strength.

After a week, he had completely absorbed the Super-Soldier Serum.

"System, open the status panel!"

The familiar screen instantly appeared before him.

[Name: Xu Mo]

[Age: 20]

[Strength: 4,620 kg]

[Speed: 68 m/s]

[Ability: None]

[Points: 512]

Four and a half tons of strength.

Although it was an improved Super-Soldier Serum, the improvements merely removed the serum's risks. Its effects were almost no different from the original serum.

By that logic, Captain America's physical abilities should also fall within this range.

As for the points.

Sauron and the others had long since infiltrated the gangs of Hell's Kitchen. During this time, they had incited several large-scale gang fights, and the scum killed in those clashes had contributed these points.

Of course, that also included the points Xu Mo had gained from killing the two officers.

The incident involving the two officers had not caused much of a stir under Xu Mo's suppression.

After all, the dollars he had given those New York politicians were not meant to be thrown away.

Sitting cross-legged on the floor of the room.

Xu Mo found the Genetic Origin Energy Cultivation Method in his mind and began studying it carefully.

In truth, he could have begun cultivating Genetic Origin Energy once his strength surpassed 900 kilograms.

The reason he had not started immediately was because a martial artist would receive a tremendous boost during their first cultivation of Genetic Origin Energy, and the stronger they were, the greater the boost would be.

However, in that world, without cultivating Genetic Origin Energy, training alone could at most raise one's strength to around one ton.

Going beyond that became extremely difficult.

Yet the Super-Soldier Serum had directly raised Xu Mo's strength to the level of an Advanced Warrior.

He wondered just how much this first cultivation session would improve him.

Apprentice Level was divided into three stages.

Warrior Stage, War General Stage, and War God Stage.

Each stage was further divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

From the point where a beginner Warrior Stage fighter reached 900 kilograms of punching force to where an Intermediate Warrior reached 2,000 kilograms, each subsequent level doubled one's punching force.

The standard for an Advanced Warrior was punching force exceeding 4,000 kilograms and speed exceeding 60 meters per second.

A moment later, Xu Mo let out a long breath.

He had already memorized every word of the manual.

The essence of Genetic Origin Energy cultivation was to absorb the free energy drifting through the universe to strengthen oneself.

The first step of cultivation was to sense that energy.

Following the method described within, he assumed a posture with his five centers facing the sky, slowly closed his eyes, and concentrated on sensing it.

As time passed, he became as motionless as if someone had pressed pause.

For the first half hour, Xu Mo felt nothing at all.

But he was not in a hurry.

According to the cultivation method, it was extremely difficult for beginners to sense cosmic energy. Many spent an entire month trying.

Thanks to his calm and unhurried state of mind.

After an hour, he entered a wondrous state. In that state, he could sense a special kind of energy in the air.

I felt it!

Xu Mo was thrilled. This had to be the cosmic energy described in the manual.

Unfortunately.

His excitement instantly pulled him out of that wondrous state.

But he was not discouraged. Once he had experienced it the first time, the next attempt would be easier.

Steadying his mind and recalling his previous state, he closed his eyes again.

With his attention intensely focused, he soon reentered that state.

Sensing the energy everywhere around him, he recalled the method recorded in the manual. The next step was to guide that energy into his body.

With that thought, his mind stirred.

The energy around him seemed drawn to his body, slowly gathering around him and entering his body.

And the speed at which it poured in grew faster and faster.

After entering his body, the energy spread to every part of him and was absorbed by his starving cells.

It was like rain after a long drought.

A warm sensation spread through his body.

The pleasant feeling nearly made Xu Mo fall asleep.

Just as he immersed himself in that state, in the hallway outside the gym.

A figure hurried over. It was Wanda, who had just married Xu Mo.

Her face was filled with panic.

However, after arriving outside the gym, Wanda stared at the door before her and fell into hesitation.

Xu Mo had previously instructed that once he entered, no one was allowed to disturb him.

After hesitating for a moment, Wanda ultimately did not knock on the door.

Instead, she waited anxiously.
