My stats are higher than yours!

Bai Shuodong sat in the center of the training area and took out the four kinds of potions in his hand.

Black Hakimi kept his distance, covering his nose as if afraid of contaminating his sense of smell, but he still looked at Bai Shuodong, seemingly wanting to see what he was going to do with the thing.

Bai Shuodong picked up the syringe containing the Rejuvenating Medicine, along with the accompanying tools.

"Meow?"

A terrifying thought suddenly arose in Black Hakimi's mind, but it quickly dismissed it. That thing didn't seem like something a human could fight. How could a person stab something like that? Wasn't that suicide?

Not redeemable!

The medicine didn't seem that toxic; it was just masked by the smell of other poisonous drugs!

This is....

Expired chocolate!

This feeling is like finding a piece of expired chocolate mixed in with a bunch of dissertation defenses! On the surface, they all seem like defenses, but upon closer inspection, you can see subtle differences!

Bai Shuodong looked at the Rejuvenating Medicine.

The amber-colored medicine looked somewhat like honey, and contained some kind of pale yellow microparticles. The injection was to be administered by pricking the neck.

"injection!"

The cold liquid rushed into my blood vessels.

I'm hungry!

A scorching heat surged straight to the top of his head, as if to rip his brain off. Spirit-enhancing drugs can impact the mind, and the power of mental stimulation is often stronger than physical tempering. Therefore, the specifications and standards of spirit-enhancing drugs are generally higher than those of physical conditioning.

This Rejuvenating Essence is a spirit-enhancing drug with a toxicity level eight times higher than the standard, so its impact is naturally extremely strong.

[Note: Trace amounts of drug toxicity detected circulating in the body, triggering short-term adaptation]

[Note: Increased drug resistance]

"Mmm...that feels good!"

Bai Shuodong felt much better instantly. His resistance had increased significantly due to the short-term adaptation, and coupled with his naturally resilient body, he didn't feel much pain now.

Suddenly, he felt as if his body was on fire, power surged within him, and the world before him became clearer, as his mental perception became clearer.

He could feel that his mental strength was rapidly increasing in a short period of time, and this rapid increase gave him the illusion that he could control everything in the world.

At the same time, his strength increased, and the illusion combined with the increase in strength made Bai Shuodong unable to help but show an extremely sunny and cheerful smile.

"Hehe... Hahahaha!"

"Jie Jie Jie!"

"I am invincible under heaven!!"

"Ding! Your student loan has been disbursed. Please repay within the specified time."

The phone notification sounded, and Bai Shuodong's smile vanished instantly. His mind calmed down immediately, and he cursed under his breath, as if he had rediscovered his former self.

Hey~

It was the loan that helped me rediscover my former impoverished self; I was completely adrift.

[Note: The potion was successfully used. Your base attributes have been increased: Spirit +8, Maximum Psionic Energy +176, Strength +5]

"..."

Bai Shuodong looked at the prompts from the spirit world, felt the power within his body, and then checked the effects of Huan Shen's medicine before falling into a brief silence.

Wasn't it supposed to only add 5 points of Spirit? How come I gained 8 points of Spirit after using it?

Admittedly, the school taught that the attributes improved by using potions depend on both basic physical potential and career potential, the sum of which is called potential. The higher the potential, the greater the improvement from using potions, but surely not to this extent?

The medicine's effects are almost doubled for me!

A 5-point increase becomes 8 points, a direct 60% jump in attribute boost! That's terrifying!

Furthermore, the increase in the upper limit of spiritual energy attribute indicated in the spirit realm notification is a separate increase. It's not a total increase that includes the increase in mental attribute and then adds it to the increase from the potion itself.

That's a pure increase of 176 points in the upper limit! Add to that the increase in mental attributes, and the amount of spiritual energy gained from a single injection is a whopping 256 points!

It's full of numbers!

"hiss..."

Bai Shuodong gasped, instantly recalling the boost to his physical potential when he triggered the reform of the spirit world mechanism. If he remembered correctly, it seemed to have increased by 25 points at that time.

It had increased before, but that was during the Trial of Courage, where it also increased by 4 points.

Is 29 points of basic physical potential really that powerful?

The attribute boost has almost doubled!

Then, Bai Shuodong looked at the remaining three potions, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes became even brighter. He felt that what he was seeing was not potions, but his own bright and sunny future.

"Ugh!"

"Although I am poor and weak, and my skills as a forbidden traveler are not strong, I have no clue about domain construction, which is equivalent to being born without a skill."

"The numbers are just a little high."

"It's just that the attribute cap is a little higher."

"That means the forbidden power no longer occupies the attribute cap, the forbidden power growth area is still considered part of the base attribute multiplication zone, and the percentage attribute added by the forbidden body passive can be slightly higher."

"puff!"

I couldn't hold it in.

...

(PS: I'm secretly adding an extra chapter.)

Chapter Ninety-Four: Poison is still the most effective!

"Alas, it's a pity that the basic series of skills for simulating all things in the universe are useless," Bai Shuodong sighed.

Among the three-star skills, there is a basic series of skills that can directly enhance the psionicist's basic physical potential and provide passive buffs to corresponding attributes.

The myriad phenomena of the universe can simulate skills, but these skills only simulate the effects.

The basic series of skills increases the body's base potential. This is a bonus that is added when learning and leveling up, and it is not a pure skill effect. However, the description of spirit realm skills will also include this bonus as a skill effect and display it together.

so...

This skill can only simulate normal effects, not an increase in the body's basic potential.

However, it's not a big problem. Anyway, Bai Shuodong has many skill slots, so he can just use them in the general skill slots. It just costs more money.

"Go check the prices at the college store."

Bai Shuodong directly opened his phone, entered the official store of the Psionic Academy, and searched for basic skill books.

[Basic - Strength (Passive)]

Price: 4 psionic points

[Basic - Constitution (Passive)]

Price: 3.2 psionic points

[Basic - Agility (Passive)]

Price: 2.8 psionic points

[Basic - Spirit (Passive)]

Price: 2 psionic points

"Holy crap! This is robbery!"

Bai Shuodong exclaimed in surprise. The price of this three-star passive skill was simply outrageous. No wonder it was a skill that could directly improve the body's basic potential.

The only reason the production in the spirit world is still decent is because otherwise the price would have to go up even further.

Of the four basic passive attributes, the most expensive is Strength, because many professions need Strength. Warriors need it, and tanks also need Strength. Otherwise, what if someone steals your shield halfway through a fight?

Constitution attribute can only withstand damage, but in direct confrontation, strength is essential. How can a tanky character with only constitution and no strength possibly stop people?

Not only tanks, but assassins and archers also need strength, so the versatility of [Basic - Strength] is actually very strong, and the demand is the largest, so the price naturally rises.

Secondly, there's the [Basic - Constitution] stat. This basic passive stat is quite versatile, but it's not cheap.

Finally, mages and support classes are the least numerous, so the market demand for [Basic-Spirit] has never been high, and the price naturally doesn't go up much, requiring only 20,000 spirit points.

There was a time when a chamber of commerce in a certain city considered hoarding [Basic-Spirit], slowly driving up the price, and selling it at an even higher price.

Later, that chamber of commerce was destroyed by the lawyer.

Mages may be rich, but they are not stupid; targeting mages is tantamount to suicide.

The business owners at the time thought: those lawyers are all rich, they won't care about the price of the basic-spiritual items, it's just a small amount of money for them anyway, and stockpiling some goods is normal business logic.

But the problem is...

The mages felt it was a huge loss of face; being ripped off for psionic points was shameful, being taken advantage of was shameful, and that was the root of their inability to accept it.

Psionic points? That's not important at all; they can afford to pay ten times more.
