Ninth class citizen

Chapter 11: Longevity is Victory
Ordinary people don't have a spiritual sea at all. The spiritual sea of extraordinary people varies according to their level and talent, and can be as small as a peach pit or as large as a swimming pool.

Generally speaking, the larger the spiritual sea, the greater the potential for advancement of the extraordinary person.

The most eye-catching existence in the spiritual sea is the extraordinary crystal core.

The extraordinary people rely on the crystal core to absorb the wandering source energy and then transform it into their own extraordinary power. The crystal core is the source of life for the extraordinary people.

But Nanrong's spiritual sea is completely different from that of other extraordinary people.

The space is vast and boundless, and there are no extraordinary crystal cores in it at all.

Instead, there was a high-speed rotating colorful vortex.

There were layers of light golden mist swirling outside the vortex, and an unclear white object was vaguely visible in it.

From time to time, a ray of colorful light shot out from the center of the vortex, drawing a meteor-like trail in the sea of ​​spirituality, and then disappeared.

All the changes in the spiritual sea were caused by the great devil's desperate counterattack.

The finger that touched Nanrong's brow caused the extraordinary nuclear crystal to shatter, his spiritual sea to explode, and then it became what it is now.

In the two months since her return, Nan Rong gradually discovered that the light golden mist could be used by her to imitate the abilities of psychic transcendents, but it was not exactly the same.

The spiritual sea is now extremely stable, and ordinary extraordinary people cannot invade it at all.

Her manipulation of the light golden mist was extremely easy, almost as if it were as simple as moving one's arm. It was many times easier than when she was a space-type extraordinary being.

The Star Alliance once paid a large sum of money to hire many high-level gene optimizers of the time, and tailored gene optimization fluids for a thousand young people to improve their various physical attributes as much as possible. They also invited combat masters from the military of various countries to provide them with various special trainings, which greatly improved everyone's ability to survive.

Therefore, before entering the rift in the alien world, Nan Rong was not only a third-level space professional, but his other attributes were also comparable to those of a second-level top warrior. In terms of wild survival ability and martial arts, he might even be better.

And now, those attributes have not only not regressed, but are even growing steadily.

Even without any systematic testing, Nan Rong himself has a deep understanding of this.

After eliminating all other possibilities, only the last one remained.

That is the colorful vortex in the spiritual sea. The different colors of light that overflow each time increase the corresponding attributes.

The Great Devil's original intention was definitely to completely destroy this alien invader, but somehow something went wrong and ended up helping her.

Unfortunately, I will never be able to be grateful to him for this in this lifetime.

There are many ways to live one's life. For Nan Rong now, every day in the future is a lucky day.

She just wanted to save more money, travel across the starry sky as much as possible, and take a good look at the world that her comrades who had long since disappeared and were no longer remembered by everyone, had once protected with their lives.

Witness the shining stars, the prosperity, and the fireworks of the world.

The basis for achieving all this is to live well, stay away from all kinds of dangers, and preferably live forever.

Giving up the combat career and becoming an excellent genetic optimizer is the best choice she can think of.

It is not a dangerous profession, and you can also recruit warriors and extraordinary people to volunteer for protection.

Earning credit points is extremely easy, and upgrading your citizenship status is a breeze.

More importantly, countless people are rushing to give money just to get a bottle of exclusive gene optimization liquid that suits them.

After all, Nan Rong’s good friend Ivny in the Star Alliance is a disciple of Master Albertini, a seventh-level expert in mixing evolutionary fluids.

She had been instilling all kinds of information about this into her ears day after day. However, Ivni, who came from a noble family, had never paid attention to the huge amount of money spent on gene optimizers in the early stages, so Nan Rong had no idea that the major she was studying had such "honorary names" as "gold-eating beast" and "money-burning cave".

The opening ceremony started at nine o'clock the next morning. When Nan Rong got up, he still didn't see his roommate.

She simply washed up and rushed to the cafeteria.

I have heard that the food in university cafeterias is good, and because it is subsidized by the Star Government, it is inexpensive and of good quality.

Nan Rong calculated the balance in his account and decided to reward himself.

Until she stood in front of the cafeteria's price list.

Natural foods are plentiful and available, except they are expensive.

A simple bowl of fried rice costs 200 Cowans. A full breakfast of bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, milk and bread costs an outrageous 500 Cowans.

And this is just the cheapest one.

Looking further ahead, you can see items of all price ranges, even star beast eggs that cost tens of thousands of Coens each are on the list.

Nan Rong decisively shifted his gaze to the synthetic food price list, which was indeed much clearer.

The synthetic ham sandwich was 50 Cowans, which was more expensive than the one sold on the public hovercraft, but compared with the price of natural food, it immediately became acceptable.

Synthetic meat buns cost 30 Cowans each, synthetic cakes cost 40 Cowans each, synthetic meat floss rolls cost 35 Cowans each, and sweet soy milk costs 25 Cowans each.
There is no food for less than 25 bucks.

After a fierce psychological struggle, Nan Rong decided to abandon the wrong idea of indulgence and return to frugality.

She still had to keep eating energy bars. Even if they were sold for 5 ounces each, she could still afford them and try different flavors.

However, she walked throughout the cafeteria and did not see any place selling energy bars.

“Energy bars?” The man serving food at the window opened his eyes wide. “How can such low-quality food be sold at Hilo Star University?”

"But."

"No buts. Classmate, energy bars are definitely not suitable for you during your growth period. What you need is this natural seafood porridge, paired with a basket of hot barbecued pork and beast meat buns. The whole set only costs 399 Cowans."

Nan Rong bit the synthetic meat bun with a broken heart. It was only the size of a palm, and she had to bite the center to get the filling. It was simply an insult to her 30 Cowen coins.

She finished her meal quickly in two or three bites, and while walking she connected to the Star Network to order a batch of basic energy bars.

It’s enough to suffer this kind of loss once, I must not be cheated a second time.

Nan Rong was thinking this, but was surprised to find that his wrist-mounted personal terminal could not connect to the Xilo Star Network.

This thing is an old model from more than ten years ago. After experiencing strong signal shielding last night, it is normal to have some problems.

I can only wait until the opening ceremony is over before I can go out and find someone to repair it.

She followed the crowd and walked into the ceremony hall of the Genetic Optimization Academy.

Along the way, there were many classmates wearing silver-gray school uniforms with intricate school logos pinned on their lapels who cast all kinds of looks at her, and some even pointed fingers at her from behind.

Nan Rong felt something, but didn't care.

The auditorium could hold thousands of people, but the total number of teachers and students present was less than two hundred - and that was the total number of students from four grades.
