50: Leave a way for others, so we can meet again in the future

“My big mouth is already parched with thirst.” Xu Jingzhe’s eyes glowed green. These bacteria didn't seem like bacteria at all, but rather young maidens who had stripped naked.

Eating them would make him stronger.

System: “Ding! With so many bacteria, we have to proceed in order. Even now, your body still cannot swallow highly aggressive bacteria. We'll start with Bifidobacterium.”

“These bacteria are truly a great tonic, with no side effects.”

“So how do we start?” Xu Jingzhe asked.

System: “Ding! Remove the tube, slowly pour a little of the liquid containing Bifidobacterium into your palm, and I will absorb it.”

“Then, pour the liquid from your hand back into the test tube. Not a single drop must spill on the ground.”

Xu Jingzhe followed the instructions, removing the transparent soft tube and picking up the test tube.

He carefully poured a little onto his hand.

System: “Ding! Done.”

He then poured the liquid from his hand back into the test tube, repeating this several times.

System: “Ding! Done. This test tube doesn't need to be touched for now. There’s still one-third of the Bifidobacterium left; let them continue to cultivate.”

“Now, find a corner and quietly wait for your body to change.”

One minute later, Xu Jingzhe’s body began to heat up. Especially internally, he felt a warm current spread throughout his entire body.

He felt as if he was soaking in warm water, which was extremely comfortable.

An hour later, Xu Jingzhe stood up, a sharp glint flashing deep in his eyes.

System: “Ding! Liver strength increased by 10, lifespan increased by 5 years.”

Xu Jingzhe was very dissatisfied. He had taken such a big risk to come to the bacteria cultivation room, and this was the result?

“These… millennium-old bacteria don’t seem that great,” Xu Jingzhe smacked his lips and said.

System: “Ding! I want to give you a big slap. Your cells' capacity to swallow and accommodate energy is ten times that of an ordinary person. With such a large base, an increase of 10 in liver strength and 5 years in lifespan is already very good.”

“Then how much would it have increased before my cells were modified?”

System: “Liver strength would increase by about 60, and lifespan by twenty years.”

“Isn’t it ten times?” Xu Jingzhe wondered.

System: “Ding! You’re truly a pig-headed teammate. The human body is a very mysterious world, as complex as the universe. Even the best things, if consumed too much, will have a diminished effect.”

“It's just like the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid. The more times you undergo the baptism, the less effective it becomes. For some people, being baptized nine times is similar to being baptized five times.”

“What about the early stages then? Will there be a big difference between one and two baptisms?”

System: “Ding! Naturally.”

“That’s why there’s a distinction between Moon Soil Evolution Fluid and Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid.”

“Alright, let's quickly swallow the next bacteria to increase your bone strength.”

Another hour later, Xu Jingzhe swallowed the bacteria that increased bone strength.

His bone hardness also increased from 35 to 65.

(The hardness of steel is approximately 150; this is to give readers a direct comparison.)

After resting for half an hour, Xu Jingzhe swallowed the bacteria that increased strength.

He could now lift 100 jin with one hand, and 320 jin with both hands combined.

This was a very significant improvement.

Another half an hour passed, and he swallowed the bacteria that improved eyesight.

Objects within 2 kilometers could be seen clearly; not even a bee could escape his sight.

“Burp…” Xu Jingzhe let out a satisfied burp, his face slightly flushed.

Inside his body, the feeling of being full of power was wonderful; confidence radiated from his every move.

“Why aren’t we swallowing more? Let’s keep going!” Xu Jingzhe asked.

System: “Ding! It’s getting late. We’ll talk about it next time.”

“Too many changes in the number of bacteria in the test tubes at once will easily draw attention. It’s best to leave some room for maneuver for future encounters.”

“We… still have to come back, don’t we?”

Xu Jingzhe chuckled, that made sense.

Old Man Xu was in it for the long haul.

System: “Ding.”

...Before dawn, Xu Jingzhe returned to his room, pulled up the covers, and fell into a deep sleep.

In a hazy state, he felt a kitten sneak into his arms, licking his cheek with a wet tongue.

He slept until morning.

His nose kept itching.

“Ah… choo!” With a sneeze, Xu Jingzhe woke up.

Beside him, Ye Zi, wearing a camisole, lay on her side, one hand propping up her chin, the other continuously tickling Xu Jingzhe’s nose with her long hair.

“Hehe… you’re awake,” Ye Zi’s voice was as gentle as water.

Xu Jingzhe pulled Ye Zi into his arms, pinning her beneath him, and said, “How did you get here?”

Ye Zi’s face flushed, and she traced circles on Xu Jingzhe’s chest with her finger, saying, “I missed you, that’s all. My heart was restless after not seeing you for a night.”

“Wearing so little, aren’t you afraid I’ll eat you up?” Xu Jingzhe said with a wicked smile.

Having swallowed several millennium-old bacteria, his overall physical quality had increased, and he felt very capable now.

He was looking forward to that kind of thing.

Moreover, the person beneath him was a beautiful girl with top-notch figure and looks; if he didn't feel anything, then Xu Jingzhe would have a problem.

Ye Zi closed her eyes, pouted her lips, looking shy and ready to be taken.

However, Xu Jingzhe just looked at Ye Zi, motionless.

Without the expected kiss, Ye Zi lazily opened her eyes, and the two of them just stared at each other.

Suddenly.

Ye Zi wrapped her arms around Xu Jingzhe’s neck, pulling him down, and their lips pressed tightly together.

Five minutes later, Xu Jingzhe’s hands began to wander, moving up and down.

Both were breathing heavily, their fiery breaths hitting each other’s bodies, the lust in their eyes uncontrollable. Just as Xu Jingzhe was about to make his next move—

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Outside, there was a knock at the door.

“Ye Zi, the boss is looking for you. Since you’re in the room, I could only come to the handsome guy’s place to find you,” Dilisi said, standing at the doorway with her arms crossed.

This Little girl, couldn't she be a bit more reserved? Things were developing too quickly.

Ye Zi, feeling guilty, buried her head deep into Xu Jingzhe’s chest, her earlobes so red they could drip blood.

“I, I know,” her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s buzz.

“Ye Zi? Are you there? I’m coming in.”

“I’m coming, coming.”

Ye Zi swiftly got out of bed, put on her jacket and pants, and in a few steps, reached the door.

Opening the door, Dilisi had a mischievous smile on her face.

She scrutinized Ye Zi up and down, left and right, then leaned close to her ear and asked in a low, curious voice, “Broken?”

“What are you talking about? No.” Ye Zi fled in a panic, utterly embarrassed.

Afterward, Dilisi leaned against the doorway and said, “Don’t just lie there, get up, we’re continuing training!”
