168: Merits have arrived again, buy buy buy!

In a few blinks of an eye, the 110 million Merits remaining after purchasing the earth core milk were exchanged by Yang Dian for 65 portions of heaven and earth treasures.

It wasn't until his Merits balance was only 270,000 that Yang Dian scrolled up and down the screen a few times, looking regretfully at the remaining 200-plus portions of heaven and earth treasures.

'If I had enough Merits, I'd take them all.'

After a moment of thought, he looked at the heaven and earth treasures that were already in 'pending shipment' status.

'Including the earth core milk, that's a total of 382 portions of heaven and earth treasures.'

'Adding what I ate before, that's over 400 portions of heaven and earth treasures.'

'Over 400 portions of heaven and earth treasures are needed to push me to the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, and this is only possible if I perfectly absorb the heaven and earth treasures.'

'This resource consumption...'

'No wonder there are only a few City-Level powerhouses in the whole world combined.'

'Western Europe calls City-Level combat power 'legends,' and that's truly not wrong at all.'

'With this level of resource consumption, how is it not legendary?'

Thinking this, Yang Dian's gaze fell on Professor Shen Fei, who was writing and drawing on a draft paper:

"Professor, I've used up my Merits."

Professor Shen Fei was stunned, then glanced at the time:

"In just a few minutes, you've used up all your Merits?"

Yang Dian smiled:

"My goal is very clear; these Merits are for increasing my strength, so I only focused on buying heaven and earth treasures. Naturally, it was quick to spend."

After speaking, he asked with some curiosity:

"When I was choosing heaven and earth treasures, I noticed that besides earth core milk, Blood Leeches and Earth Dragons also had multiple quantities."

"Can these two heaven and earth treasures also be mass-produced?"

Professor Shen Fei first nodded, then shook his head:

"Not exactly mass-produced."

"Both Blood Leeches and Earth Dragons have the ability to split and reproduce."

"If one-third of a sub-body is cut from the mother body and then nourished with a large amount of resources, the sub-body will grow into an independent individual."

"Unfortunately, the ability to split and reproduce is only possessed by the mother body. Severed limbs cut from the sub-body will not only fail to become independent individuals but will also lose the miraculous effects of the heaven and earth treasures."

"Otherwise, we would have achieved heaven and earth treasures freedom long ago."

After explaining, he looked at Yang Dian with some anticipation:

"After using this batch of resources, to what extent do you think your strength can improve?"

Yang Dian pondered for a moment, deciding to be conservative and not boast:

"Reaching the limit of district-level combat power is definitely not a problem. As for whether I can achieve Qi Blood Dragon Transformation, I have some confidence, but I can't guarantee it."

Professor Shen Fei stood up and walked around a couple of times:

"Being able to reach the limit of district-level combat power is already very good."

"Our Minjiang Province only has 3 district-level limits in total."

"Among the three, there's an old monk who's always hiding in a temple, ringing bells and chanting Buddhist scriptures."

"Excluding him, and not counting the heavily injured Wang Wu, the entire Minjiang only has the head of the Xiamen Alien Management Branch with district-level limit combat power..."

"Anyway, you train first. As long as you demonstrate district-level limit combat power, then I'll have a reason to apply for another batch for you..."

Before Professor Shen Fei finished speaking, Yang Dian's phone rang again.

Seeing the caller ID on his phone, Professor Shen Fei's slightly furrowed brow immediately relaxed:

"Answer Uncle Yue's call first. Listen for good news."

Yang Dian answered the phone as instructed.

"The organization approved a 300 million Merits resource loan for you?"

Yang Dian, who hadn't expected Yue Shan to start with that, was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"Uncle Yue, you know?"

"The delivery information has already been sent to me," Yue Shan said with some surprise.

"The value is too high, so the organization asked me to deliver it personally."

"You really did what you said you would, not waiting ten thousand years, but seizing the day."

"300 million Merits were all exchanged for heaven and earth treasures, not a single other thing was exchanged."

After a couple of remarks, he continued:

"After our discussion, under the premise of a one-time settlement, we can give you 150 million Merits."

"Are you sure you want a one-time settlement?"

"China currently has 1.4 billion people. We are now preparing to vigorously encourage childbirth, planning to quadruple the population within 30 years. Even if only one percent of these people sense Qi and Blood, that's 50 million."

"Converted to Merits, that's 1.5 billion."

"And this is the worst-case scenario."

"After Earth invaded the Alien Planet, all Earth creatures received unknown feedback. Their Physiques and Aptitudes have improved significantly, so the number of Martial Artists will definitely not be small in the future."

Yang Dian pondered for a moment:

"Uncle Yue, if I choose a one-time settlement, will the organization make me use these Merits to repay the Merits loan?"

"No," Yue Shan said directly.

"Unless you become a Qi Blood Dragon Transformation Realm Grandmaster, or you're stuck in the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke Realm and haven't improved, the organization won't urge you to repay the Merits."

Having received the answer, Yang Dian gave his reply:

"Then I choose a one-time settlement. I want these 150 million Merits."

If he had to repay the Merits now, Yang Dian would undoubtedly choose the first condition Yue Shan offered.

Since he couldn't get it anyway, a steady stream would also be good.

But now that he didn't have to repay it, Yang Dian naturally wanted to continue his previous course of action.

To maximize his strength as much as possible.

The world ahead held dangers, but also Opportunities.

Without strength, perhaps he could live in peace in a corner, but how could he compete with others for Opportunities?

First step, first in every step.

He didn't want to fall behind others in the Early Stages of this great era of competition.

On the other side, Yue Shan couldn't help but sigh with relief after hearing Yang Dian's firm words.

"Since you've decided, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

"The Merits will be sent to you immediately."

"And looking at you, I imagine you'll use the Merits directly once you receive them."

"Go ahead."

"Once you've used up the Merits, I'll deliver the items to you all at once."

"Then thank you, Uncle Yue..."

After chatting with Yue Shan for a couple more sentences, Yang Dian, who had hung up the phone, reopened the Merits Mall.

"Dragon Blood Fat, Barbarian Toad, Earth Spirit Bamboo Shoot, Elephant Bone Fruit..."

Three minutes later, the recently acquired 150 million Merits were once again completely depleted. The total number of heaven and earth treasures Yang Dian was about to receive also reached 465.

"heaven and earth treasures under 2 million Merits after discount, suitable for Martial Artists, have been monopolized by me alone."

"I wonder how other Martial Artists who have saved hundreds of thousands or millions of Merits will feel when they want to buy heaven and earth treasures but find that the suitable ones start at 2 million Merits."

After muttering to himself, Yang Dian sent a message to Yue Shan.

After receiving Yue Shan's message that the resources would be delivered in three hours, Yang Dian looked at Professor Shen Fei again:

"Professor, the resources will arrive in three hours. Should I go prepare now?"

Professor Shen Fei shook his head:

"They won't arrive for another three hours. Why are you in such a hurry now?"

Then he changed his tone:

"You're a Fuda University student after all, and today is Fuda University's orientation day. Go sit in the classroom."

Yang Dian was stunned.

He truly hadn't expected Professor Shen Fei to say such a thing.

He was preparing to improve his strength and then save the world as a savior, and Professor Shen Fei wanted him to go to school?

Seeing Yang Dian's dazed expression, Professor Shen Fei couldn't help but smile:

"Humans are social creatures. Making a few more friends is beneficial for your physical and mental health."

Yang Dian's thoughts shifted, and he felt it made sense.

When there's nothing else to do, going to the classroom to look at legs is also a pleasant choice...
