I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything-Chapter 159 - 158: A Losing Business
Chapter 159: Chapter 158: A Losing Business
In the end.
It was still my self-respect that overcame the temptation of luxurious enjoyment.
One academic credit doesn’t seem like much, but Zong Xiaoping knew it equates to several hundreds of thousands in money.
The living expenses his mom gave him a year amounted to only ten thousand, and even that was skimmed seventy percent by his greedy dad...
Friends are friends, but if there ever comes a day when credits are scarce, he’d have no hesitation borrowing from Xu Lingjun.
But he couldn’t just shamelessly sponge off him.
Zong Xiaoping doesn’t live off others, especially not Xu Lingjun.
That guy is too good-looking, easily causing misunderstandings.
Xu Lingjun could only ascend to the second floor alone with a regretful expression.
The chef was a robust man of about thirty-four, looking somewhat dopey.
He had quite an impression of Xu Lingjun and handed him a plate with a smile, saying, "You’re here, bro."
"Yeah, I’m here."
Xu Lingjun took the plate, glancing at the neatly arranged meals in the transparent food cabinet. Even the vegetables were plundered from other civilizations, bearing no resemblance to the foods usually consumed.
After all, with a yearly package of 15 million, it surely had to be worth its price.
He asked, "I remember the seniors telling me, it’s unlimited, right?"
"Yes, it’s unlimited."
"Then give me some more."
Xu Lingjun pushed the plate forward, thinking that if it was for Source, it would naturally be more worthwhile to have more at once. He gestured, "Pile it high for me, if need be, two trays would do."
The chubby chef froze for a moment, his face showing a dull expression, surprised, "Bro, you’re really here for a buffet?"
"Isn’t this a buffet?"
"But even with a buffet, you get fined if you don’t finish it. What I gave you is based on a normal person’s meal... You can definitely finish it, so you won’t get fined. These foods are precious, especially since our seniors brought them back at great peril from the Polar Star Battlefield. If wasted, the fine is severe."
The chef earnestly advised, "It’s not about having a big appetite or not, these meats are the essence of the Mysterious Races’ flesh, containing strong Blood Qi. Like yesterday, didn’t you stuff yourself till you bled... No matter how big your appetite, you can’t finish it all."
"If stuffing once can lead to a breakthrough, where else can you find such a good thing?"
Xu Lingjun seriously said, "Isn’t bleeding for the first time normal? But now I have experience, rest assured, this time I’ll digest it directly, no bleeding."
"Alright... remember, if you don’t finish, you get an extra credit fine for every pound left."
The chubby chef sighed, piling a few more scoops onto Xu Lingjun’s plate, who then carried the mound of food over to the empty seat.
"Another one thinking they can get a bargain, with so much Mysterious Races blood and flesh, I doubt even Martial Artists at the Profound Realm could digest it all. Seems like he’s gonna get fined credits."
A few high-tier students eating nearby noticed, one man’s girlfriend was staring intently at Xu Lingjun’s face, she’d even forgotten to cover it up.
She usually said, "Darling, his clothes look great and they’d look even better on you..." whenever caught,
But now... she didn’t even bother to pretend.
He couldn’t help but bitterly comment.
"But it’s so cute."
The female student muttered, "Such a handsome guy carrying such a big plate, it gives a kind of charming contrast."
Male student: "........."
Sorry, all he saw was a glutton, no charm at all.
Meanwhile, Xu Lingjun eagerly sat down in the empty spot.
He tapped the food lightly with his finger.
Sure enough, prompts appeared before him.
[Detected fake low-quality Blood and Flesh of All Heavens’ Mysterious Races, One Star Dragon. Allocate Real Source to it? Costs 40 Source Value!]
How come it’s so much higher than yesterday?
Is it because this One Star Dragon’s meat has a higher level?
Or did the amount today outweigh yesterday’s?
Looks like I’d better pay heed to the consumption of Source Value from here on...
Xu Lingjun allocated Source.
Then buried his head, eating.
As a large amount of Blood Qi entered his body,
The Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique started running wildly, converting the rich Blood Qi into the purest energy, replenishing every deficiency within his body.
His just-broken-through Realm of True Transformation Middle Realm quickly began to stabilize.
The compressed True Qi also resumed its rapid circulation.
Xu Lingjun ate swiftly, but indeed, no more bleeding occurred as the Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique ascended another level, greatly enhancing its absorption speed for Blood Qi.
The Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique, a cultivation method at its purest.
Enough Blood Qi can lead to a breakthrough, if not enough, no breakthrough...
Unlike those flashy cultivation techniques demanding aptitude or comprehension.
Xu Lingjun suddenly felt that this Infinite Divine Demon Body Refining Technique suited him better.
The towering heap of meat disappeared completely within an hour, consumed by Xu Lingjun.
He finally let out a satisfied belch.
Most of the meats contain Blood Qi, and as Blood Qi was absorbed by the technique, the remnants naturally didn’t cause much bloating... All in all, the food stacked almost to Xu Lingjun’s chest was devoured clean by him.
He felt refreshed and revitalized.
It was just like finishing a marathon and soaking in a hot spring, the warm water stimulating the fatigued body, and strength was birthed slowly from within.
He handed back the plate to the chubby chef.
Smiling, he said, "Thanks. By the way, I’m not full. Can I get another serving?"
"Ye...yes, you can."
The chubby chef’s expression turned odd at his words, serving him another portion.
Xu Lingjun sat down again, slowly eating.
This time, without allocating any Source...
Although the Blood Qi wasn’t as intense as after allocation, the replenished Blood Qi was still amazing.
However, since the Blood Qi wasn’t as rich as before, after finishing this plate.
He felt a bit full.
Only then did he get up, smiling at the chef, "Thanks."
Saying so, he walked out under the chef’s strange gaze.
It’s hard to imagine how his frail body could withstand so much food.
The chef stared blankly for a while, muttering, "Doomed... I’m doomed, this is a money-losing business." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
And after Xu Lingjun was satiated.
Following Gu Xi’s previous suggestion, he headed towards the Science District.
Beixuanwu Martial Mansion spanned vast areas, shared vehicles were present everywhere along the way, 10 credits for a whole year.
It could only be said that Beixuanwu Martial Mansion wasn’t shy about pinching credits, taking careful calculations to the extreme.
But Xu Lingjun didn’t ride, he used the walk to aid his digestion.
Science District.
It was Beixuanwu Martial Mansion’s smallest academic area, apparently dispensable. After all, the Four Great Academies and even those below, including first and second-tier academies, had almost monopolized all technology in terms of weapons and even daily life. Establishing a Science District within Beixuanwu Martial Mansion seemed a redundant decision.
But in reality, only experienced students knew, just how beneficial the Science District was... Often even more so than the Martial Arts District.
Martial artists’ cultivation techniques were all-encompassing, everything imaginable, and some techniques progressed faster in specific environments.
Whereas the Science District...
Various environments inside, such as hot, cold, desert, vacuum, could all be achieved through technology.
Just like where Xu Lingjun was heading.
"Hello, I’d like to apply for 4 hours of Gravity Room time, 20 times gravity!"
Standing before a gigantic building.
He said to the doorman.
"4 hours for 1 credit!"
The senior’s gaze swept over Xu Lingjun, smiling, "If you pay 5 credits, you could get a discount for a whole day."
"No need, 4 hours will do."
Guided by an instructor,
Xu Lingjun stepped into the Gravity Room...
And as 20 times gravity pressed down,
The discomfort experienced during the assessment no longer appeared.
The pressure exerted externally and internally, yet the internal organs had an extra layer of Blood membrane protection... The pressure merely felt like an invisible burden during cultivation.
If it had to be described, perhaps it felt like having several people clinging to one’s body during cultivation, but since they might be women, with their body’s softness, it didn’t feel uncomfortable, just a bit hindering.
And according to Gu Xi’s recommendation,
Cultivating Martial Skills in such an environment yielded better results.
Wanting to quickly enter the initiation stage of the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation and master it perfectly, here was undoubtedly the most suitable place.
