My stats are higher than yours!!

Psionic Points -2.8w

[Note: The Basic Physical Fitness Skills book is temporarily out of stock. It will be available again in three days at the latest.]

With just three taps of his fingers, Bai Shuodong's psionic points plummeted by 8. Basic skill books are really expensive; he only bought four skills, and 12 psionic points were gone.

Too expensive! Absolutely too expensive!

Moreover, you can't just buy the skills and be done with it. You also need to upgrade them, which requires Spirit Points. Upgrading from level 1 to level 2 requires 1000 Spirit Points, and upgrading from level 2 to level 3 requires 2000 Spirit Points. Just upgrading these four skills to level 3 will cost an additional 1.2 Spirit Points.

Even more terrifying is that as his level increases to level 2, 3, or 4, the cost of upgrading his skills will continue to increase.

I must find a way to increase my psionic point gain!

We must earn more psionic points!

Oh, right, I have 3 in my psychic points account that's a loan. I have to pay it back when the time comes, otherwise the loan interest rate is very high and it will compound, which I simply can't afford.

Following that, Bai Shuodong trained methodically for three days, using his decomposition ability to disassemble equipment during training, resulting in a very rapid increase in his special skills and experience.

Bai Shuodong's long weapon proficiency level was also successfully upgraded to level 8, making his melee skills even stronger.

And on that very day...

Bai Shuodong's three basic skill books finally arrived. The courier brought three different skill books to him for signature. After confirming that everything was correct, Bai Shuodong signed and accepted the skill books.

Then use it directly.

[Basic - Physical Constitution]

Quality: ★★★

Effects: Base physical potential +1, each point of constitution adds an extra 0.1 physical defense, and the natural health regeneration speed is increased by 10%.

[Foundation - Spirit]

Quality: ★★★

Effects: Physical base potential +1, mental strength increased by an additional 5%, and psionic energy natural recovery speed increased by 10%.

[Fundamentals - Agility]

Quality: ★★★

Effect: Base physical potential +1, movement speed increased by 5%, reaction speed increased by 5%, attack speed increased by 5%.

[Currently, there are 4/7 general skill slots]

With all four basic passive abilities in place, Bai Shuodong's basic physical potential successfully increased by 3 points, raising his physical limits once again, and his strength also increased significantly.

The basic passive skills are actually quite strong. Although the stats are not high in the early stages, they are truly additional independent multipliers.

For example, the [Basic Strength] passive provides an increase in burst damage. This burst damage increase is an independent multiplier, unlike the Strength stat, and it is not a Strength increase. Instead, it directly increases the effect by 5% during a burst, which is a pretty good increase.

[Basic - Constitution] The attribute that increases is physical defense. The overall improvement of physical defense is the most comprehensive, without any coverage or impact. Unfortunately, the value is relatively low in the early stages, but the strength of this ability increases as the game progresses.

The increase in mental strength of [Basic - Spirit] goes without saying, and the increase in reaction speed of [Basic - Agility] is extremely rare. In the spirit world, there are very limited channels to directly improve reaction speed, so the basic passive series is actually quite good.

The only downside is that it's expensive.

"My skills are almost fully improved. Now it's time to improve my stats."

Bai Shuodong took out the last medicine.

[Recombinant Long Resistance Medication]

According to the salesperson, the drug has a considerable amount of toxicity, equivalent to seven Titan Tyrants, and its effects will last for 108 hours, rather than being released all at once.

So, is this medicine relatively mild?

It's only 2625 times the toxicity of the drug, so it's not a big problem.

After all, it wasn't a one-time outbreak. If this level of poison had erupted all at once, Bai Shuodong would have died instantly. But as long as it wasn't a one-time outbreak, he should have a chance to survive.

whee!

I must survive!

Bai Shuodong took out the medicine and, following the instructions, made a puncture on his waist and abdomen.

"I'm so hungry!!"

Bai Shuodong let out a painful roar, but the expected pain did not come.

The medicine circulated continuously within his body, releasing its immense power little by little. That power was like a soft knife, constantly cutting into Bai Shuodong's dual resistances, while at the same time, a special substance simultaneously influenced the changes in resistance.

That special substance should be the one used to enhance the two resistances.

However, the content of that substance is relatively low, and the actual effect is likely to be very worrying. Therefore, after taking this drug, the final result should be that the dual anti-antibody levels do not increase, but instead plummet.

It's not a big problem.

[Warning: An extremely high amount of drug toxicity has been detected in the body; short-term adaptation effects have been triggered.]

[Note: Increased drug resistance]

[Note: Drug toxicity detected in the body, severely affecting dual anti-inflammatory drugs and triggering short-term adaptation effects]

[Note: Increased resistance to abnormal status effects and control effects]

Bai Shuodong moved his body a bit and felt no abnormality whatsoever.

Kangfulong medicine looks potent, with over two thousand times the toxicity, but in reality, after being injected, you don't feel much; your body feels tingly and numb. Drug resistance and tolerance slowly increase.

What's even more interesting is that because of the extremely strong toxicity of Comfrey and its slow onset, it leads to a particularly high level of drug resistance through adaptive evolution, and the adaptation efficiency is also very good.

It's like adapting to the laughter factor!

Adaptive evolution doesn't care about the level of harm it causes to the main body; it only considers the level of danger. Even if it doesn't cause any harm to the main body, as long as it poses a threat to the main body, then [adaptive evolution] will adapt to its existence at the fastest speed.

The toxicity of the compound is also quickly adapted to.

Chapter 108 Xia Yanxin's Amazing Move!

One day later

[Note: Trace amounts of drug toxicity are present in your body, triggering adaptive evolutionary effects.]

[Note: Drug resistance will permanently increase]

[Note: You are affected by drug poisoning, your resistance to abnormal statuses and control effects is reduced, triggering adaptive evolution effects.]

[Note: Permanently increases resistance to status ailments and control effects]

[Note: You have been affected by poison, resulting in reduced resistance to all elemental attributes, triggering an adaptive evolution effect.]

[Note: Permanently increases all elemental resistances]

Bai Shuodong sat in the training room resting, still eating. With his persistent binge eating, his digestion speed was getting faster and faster, and the speed at which he provided life force to the [Blood Demon Armor] was also getting higher and higher.

Unfortunately, the Blood Demon Armor is too useless. After absorbing a large amount of life force each time, it stops absorbing more, which makes it impossible for him to keep replenishing his life force.

He was not discouraged.

The quality of the Blood Demon Armor will improve after digestion, allowing it to absorb and contain more life force, which will then be useful for enhancing digestion capabilities.

It's not a big problem.

"Speaking of which..."

"Those people who tested the drug are unprofessional. This thing can actually reduce elemental resistance, and it reduces all attributes. They didn't even mention this side effect. Did they not have anyone test it? These people are so unprofessional!" Bai Shuodong said with dissatisfaction.

He felt that he could explain the negative effects of these drugs and then use those negative effects to ask Giant Pharmaceuticals for new drugs.

So what if I want some poison?

Industrial waste is generated every day. They have to deal with it even if I don't ask for it, so I might as well just take it from them.

Hey!

I am a Taboo Walker, and this profession has a very good reputation. Even if I didn't ask for it, those people at Giant Pharmaceuticals would probably have to think twice. Maybe they had already prepared in advance.

Could someone else do it? Could someone from another profession do it? Besides me, Master Jin, who could?

That's the power of word of mouth!

"Ding~"

The familiar ringtone sounded, and Bai Shuodong frowned slightly as he picked up his phone to check it.

The person making the call was Xia Yanxin.

He answered the phone.

"Bai Shuodong, there's an emergency here."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. Don't contact me by phone anymore," Bai Shuodong said.

“That’s true. Cell phone calls can be monitored and information can be easily leaked. That’s definitely my problem,” Xia Yanxin said after a brief silence.

"Do not."

"?"

“I have passed the trials of the spirit world and have become a psychic. The primitive and outdated communication channels such as cell phones and telephones are no longer worthy of my status. Let’s talk in the spirit world from now on,” Bai Shuodong said matter-of-factly.

"Your speed of forgetting your roots is astounding! Absolutely astounding!"

Xia Yanxin laughed in anger, then said simply and directly: "Something's happened here. The school leaders are unwilling to release her and won't let Su Qingli join our team. Come to the director's office."

"it is good."

...

Office of the Head of Academic Affairs

Old Bi looked at the group of people in front of him with a somewhat gloomy expression. He turned his gaze to Su Qingli and asked, "Were you threatened by them? If you were threatened, then blink twice."

"If a person doesn't blink, won't their eyes get so dry they die?"

Bai Shuodong crossed his arms behind his head and spoke casually.

"Shut up!"

Old Bi glared at him, then looked at Su Qingli and asked, "Little Su, with your current potential and ability, there are so many teams you could join, why did you choose them? This is not a good choice!"

“Because they gave too much,” Su Qingli said simply and directly.

"...?"

Old Bi fell silent.

He had considered countless possibilities, but this was the only one he hadn't thought of. After all, the lawyers in the first and second teams of the college entrance examination were extremely wealthy, while the families of the people in the third team were clearly not as well-off as them.

How much can they give? Or are the first and second teams giving too little?

Su Qingli's lips curled up slightly.

really!

He's the normal one!

As long as the other party is a normal person, then they are within my calculations, and I will use my abilities and methods to overcome all obstacles in my path.

Teams one and two did extend invitations to her and offered her a lot of benefits, but the amount of those benefits wasn't much. After all, her level was only 1, while those mages were all at level 5 or even 6, so they didn't need her to form a team.

So of course they won't give too much, since it's really not useful in the early stages. Only when Su Qingli's level increases in the second and third years of high school can they become a real team.

Before this, those priests either went alone or invited others to form teams.

The welfare issue is acceptable.

“They may give you a lot of things directly, but a strong team is a good guarantee in itself. You can go through their network of connections and follow those established teams into the spirit world. That is obviously safer.” Old Bi said seriously, his hands clasped in front of him.

He slowly spread his hands and continued, "Joining their team has more real benefits than you see. Your decision might be..."

"How many legends do those teams have?"

Su Qingli asked directly.

"..."

Old Bi choked.

While those established teams are strong, legendary-level psionicists are not commonplace, so their numbers are naturally limited, and most likely zero.

"I'm asking you, when they go exploring, will they choose high or low difficulty levels? Will they consider taking me along to challenge stronger opponents? What will the final profit sharing be? Will I get enough of the profits?"
