9: 10,000 vitality!
Lin Fei was ecstatic in his heart.
Just as I guessed.
The Gene Enhancement Potion I brought in could actually be enhanced ten thousand times as well.
At the same time, the System also provided preview effects of the three items after enhancement.
[Gene Enhancement Potion (White Common)! After Enhancement! Superman Life Potion (Great Red Epic)!]
[Effect: Permanently increases Life Qi by 10,000 points.]
[Description: Life Qi is the most fundamental attribute in the Killing World, affecting comprehensive physical attributes such as strength, stamina, Physique defense, endurance, and speed.]
...
[Glock Pistol (White Common)! After Enhancement! Enhanced Unlimited Reload Armor-Piercing Glock Pistol (Great Red)!]
[Effect: Possesses unlimited reloading of Level 4 ammunition. Bullet power is increased tenfold. Has a ballistic correction function, increasing shooting accuracy by 70%.]
...
[Delicious Hamburger (White Common)! After Enhancement! Super Delicious Krabby Patty (Great Red Epic)!]
[Effect: Taste enhanced ten thousand times. After eating it, even anorexia is cured. The aroma alone can make ten children drool, but it has no other additional effects.]
[Note: In this world, only delicious food should not be let down. It already possesses a super taste, what more could you ask for?
After all, it's just a delicious Krabby Patty!]
Faced with these three choices, Lin Fei wouldn't hesitate.
Although the Glock pistol's enhanced effects looked quite good indeed.
But only the power held within oneself is fundamental.
This is also why he always thought that among the Calabash Brothers, the seventh brother was the weakest. After all, if the treasure gourd that could capture people was gone, it was over.
As for the delicious Krabby Patty...
Only after having strength can one have endless delicious Krabby Patties.
'I choose the gene potion.'
[Ten-thousand-fold enhancement completed! The potion has been upgraded. The experience after consumption is the same as taking the initial potion before. Host need not worry about the body exploding from a one-time increase of ten thousand times Life Qi.
Additionally, potions enhanced through the in-and-out store enhancement can only be used by oneself after enhancement.]
'Good, considerate enough!'
'What a pity though, this potion can only be used by myself!'
Lin Fei was excited in his heart. To avoid long nights and many dreams,
like Zhu Bajie in 'Zhu Bajie Falls from Heaven', who finally obtained three cups of potion to transform from a piglet into a human,
but started showing off after just drinking two cups,
ending up breaking the third cup, losing the potion, and remaining with a pig's head, unable to complete the transformation.
He immediately took out the enhanced Superman Life Potion.
The originally pale blue liquid now emitted a rich golden luster, looking extremely extraordinary just by its appearance.
Without hesitation, he unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back, and downed the golden liquid in one gulp!
The potion entering his mouth didn't have the imagined bitter taste.
Instead, it was like orange-flavored Mirinda, sliding down his throat into his stomach.
However, the next second!
An indescribable, excruciating pain erupted like a volcano, instantly sweeping through his entire body!
"Ugh—!"
Lin Fei couldn't help but let out a pained groan, uncontrollably dropping to one knee, his body trembling violently.
His bones seemed to be forcibly torn apart by a brutal force, then reassembled in a brand new way.
Making crackling, teeth-grating sounds!
Muscle fibers were pierced, torn, and fused again as if by countless steel needles.
An unbearable burning sensation came from under every inch of his skin!
Sweat poured out like a breached dam, instantly soaking his clothes, continuously dripping from his temples, cheeks, and neck, leaving dark wet spots on the ground.
The intense pain almost overwhelmed Lin Fei's consciousness, but he clenched his teeth tightly.
Veins bulged on his forehead.
Several tens of seconds later.
Lin Fei could clearly feel a violent and vast life energy crazily transforming his body.
Every cell was cheering and greedily absorbing this power!
"How to touch!"
"Blossoming swamp!"
"Hey!!!" Lin Fei gritted his teeth and hummed this poignant song, as if doing so could alleviate the pain a bit.
Lin Mengzi watched from the side, heart aching, extending a hand wanting to hold Lin Fei's hand.
But Lin Fei refused. He was afraid his strength had changed too much and might crush his sister's hand.
"I'm fine." Lin Fei said, clenching his fist.
A golden halo faintly emanated from within his body.
This experience felt very long, but in reality, it only lasted a few short minutes.
When that heart-wrenching pain receded like a tide, Lin Fei gasped heavily a few times and slowly stood up.
He lowered his head to look at his body. Outwardly, there didn't seem to be much change.
He seemed a bit taller, his skin seemed finer, his muscle lines more defined and smooth, but far from reaching the level of bulging, exaggerated deformation.
If not looking carefully, one might even think he was no different from before.
However, only Lin Fei himself knew what terrifying power was now contained within his body!
He gently clenched his fist, his knuckles making crisp cracking sounds.
An unprecedented sense of fullness and power filled his entire body.
He felt as if he could punch through an armored vehicle with one fist.
Kick a whole litter of old sows to death with one foot!
This wasn't an illusion, but real power.
It was power!
"1 point of Life Qi normally equals 100 jin of strength.
10,000 points of Life Qi equals 1,000,000 jin.
That's about 500 tons!" Lin Fei licked his lips.
"If I encounter that 'Brilliant Star' mission again, why would I need to play games of wit?
I'll just charge in and take it!"
Lin Fei grinned, his heart filled with soaring ambition.
"Lin Fei, how are you?"
"I'm fine. This is all part of the necessary process of body enhancement."
In the hall, besides himself,
a few others had also taken the Gene Enhancement Potion but couldn't withstand it, directly foaming at the mouth and fainting.
But after they woke up, their bodies would have completed the transformation.
Lin Fei took out the KFC burger box emitting an enticing aroma from his backpack.
"Sister Mengzi, this is for you!" Lin Fei handed the burger box to Lin Mengzi. "I got this from that trial world. It's super delicious! Try it quickly!"
"This is... a burger?" Lin Mengzi took the burger box. The rich aroma of meat and sauce assailed her nostrils, making her unable to help swallowing her saliva.
She knew Lin Fei must have brought it out specifically to let her try something new. Her heart was both touched and felt a bit complicated.
"Lin Fei, I heard from others who came out that the worlds they entered were very dangerous, even including battlefields from WWI and WWII."
"You entered such a dangerous place and still brought me back a burger!"
"Hehe, this burger is no ordinary one! You'll know once you try it." Lin Fei smiled. "Sister Mengzi, I just passed the first trial, so I can go check out the second floor now.
Wait here for me a bit. I'll go and come right back!"
"The second floor? Would it be more dangerous?" Lin Mengzi looked at him worriedly. "How about we go back first? You just came out, you must be very tired."
"It's fine, I feel I'm in great condition now! And I just want to see the shops above." Lin Fei patted his chest.
"I'll just go up for a quick look and come right down.
You take this burger, find a place to sit and eat, be careful not to let anyone snatch it!"
"Don't worry, the guides won't allow robbery."
Lin Mengzi couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she could only nod: "I'll wait for you down here."
Right at this moment.
Several burly men wearing black tank tops, with '777' tattoos on their arms, walked over cursing and swearing.
They were precisely the remnants of the Three Seven Gang who had clashed with Lin Fei on the first floor of the Node Tower earlier and later had one of their leaders instantly killed by a guide!
They had obviously also just completed a trial, but judging by their disheveled, dejected looks, their gains weren't great.
"Damn it! What bad luck! Busy for half the day, only got a D-grade evaluation!
Just a few thousand killing coins, not even enough to buy a good gun!" The new leader with triangular eyes spat, his face full of displeasure.
"Exactly! That damned Ford team must have taken all the good stuff! Next time we run into them, we'll make them pay!" Another underling also said indignantly.
"I'm the unluckiest. I died inside, directly losing 10 years of lifespan."
They complained, their eyes casually sweeping the surroundings, and happened to land on Lin Fei who was about to leave, and the burger box he had just handed to Lin Mengzi.
The triangular-eyed man was stunned at first, then recognized Lin Fei, immediately showing a mocking and contemptuous expression.
"Yo! Isn't this the kid who was so arrogant before?
What's this? Went in for a stroll and only brought out a burger?
Hahahaha!"
"I'm dying of laughter! I thought you were so capable, turns out you're trash!
Risking your life going in, just to get a burger?
Are you a starving ghost reincarnated or what?"
"He probably just used the 100 initial dollars, wandered around and came out, got nothing, so he bought himself a burger?
What an idiot!"
The few Three Seven Gang members surrounded them, laughing at Lin Fei without restraint.
In their view, Lin Fei only bringing out a burger obviously meant he did extremely poorly, even worse than them.
Seeing this, Lin Mengzi, somewhat angry, wanted to step forward and argue, but Lin Fei reached out and stopped her.
Lin Fei turned around, his face expressionless, his eyes coldly sweeping over those clowns.
"Is it that funny?"
He spoke lightly, his voice not loud but carrying a heart-chilling coldness.
The triangular-eyed man felt a bit creeped out by Lin Fei's icy gaze, but relying on their numbers, he forced himself to say: "What?
Isn't it funny?
Hahahaha!
So funny!
Hahahaha!
Working so hard to go in, just to get a burger. If you're not trash, then what are you?"
"Remember what you're saying now." His voice was terrifyingly calm. "Once we leave this Node Tower, don't let me see you again."
"Otherwise."
"I'll kill you."
The last four words, Lin Fei said them lightly, yet carrying an undeniable killing intent!
Swept by Lin Fei's gaze, they involuntarily shivered, the following words choked back, as if an invisible hand had gripped their throats.
The Three Seven Gang members were intimidated by the Aura emanating from Lin Fei, for a moment no one dared to speak.
This young man before them was completely different from the somewhat green-looking youth from before!
Like a primordial beast.
