"Not for sale."
Li Wei thought it was somewhat ridiculous.
Zhang Zongming's idea was simply naive. The training quota of the Hunter Guild Headquarters was hard to come by, how unpromising would Li Wei be to exchange this thing for money?
Moreover, although he had the powerful tool of the Book of Ten Thousand Laws in his hands, Li Wei still hoped he could ascend one more level.
Obviously, the abilities obtained from the Book of Ten Thousand Laws also required his own strength to exert more power. The use of the Sharingan, Devil's Left Hand, and Steel Slash was based on the premise of consuming his own physical strength.
For the promotion of strength in this world, Li Wei still doesn't have too many clues at present. How can the ultimate training be completed? How to further unlock the genetic lock? How to solve the issue of his own body, which was once judged to be "totally potentialless"?
The Book of All Laws can't tell him these answers either.
He wants to find these answers, he must continue to move forward. The guild headquarters training is a good way to do so.
Under such circumstances, he certainly cannot give up the training quota.
It's impossible for any amount of money.
Moreover, the training in the headquarters has a significant resource inclination. Without talking about anything else, the regular gene liquid supply is something invaluable.
Can Zhang Zongming offer this money?
Obviously, he can't afford it.
He also put forward his own price after hearing Li Wei's "not for sale". Two hundred purple crystals, this is a considerable number. According to the exchange rate within the guild, it can also be exchanged for forty bottles of Class C gene liquid.
But, if this money is used to buy gene fluid in the black market, it's enough to buy five or six bottles at most.
After hearing his offer, Li Wei smiled and said: "Zhang Zongming, the price you offered is just a drop in the bucket compared to the valuable training spot. Don't you feel ashamed of yourself?"
"Okay, it seems you won't agree. But I will definitely not compromise on this issue; let's see who's better."
After saying that, Zhang Zongming turned around and left.
"What does he mean?" Li Wei asked.
Irene said: "Could be anything? I guess you need to be careful when you go out in the next few days. If you die..."
She didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but Li Wei knew what she meant.
With a sigh, Li Wei said: "Handle problems as they come."
...
After Zhang Zongming left, Li Wei did not stay in the tavern for long, soon he returned to his residence.
His landlord, Ke Chou, had been waiting by his door for some time.
"This is your deposit."
Ke Chu stood in front of Li Wei, still somewhat timid and reserved. It couldn't be helped; the incident from a few days ago had left such a deep impression on him. Thus, when he received Li Wei's message that he intended to check out, Ke Chu promptly delivered the deposit for Li Wei's rental in person.
Money was the least of his concerns; getting rid of the troublemaker as soon as possible was of utmost importance.
Li Wei didn't bother with further conversation, took the five blue crystals, handed over the keys to Ke Chu, and then entered the room. After a brief period of tidying up, he emerged with a carry-on bag.
This was all his luggage.
Leaving the place where he had lived for several months in the western part of Block 17, Li Wei arrived at his new home.
In comparison to the group rental provided by Ke Chu, the living environment of this new house wasn't actually much better. In fact, the surroundings were worse; there wasn't even a convenience store nearby.
However, his primary reason for wanting to move here is because this place is relatively remote and spacious. Although the price is slightly higher, it comes with a walled yard.
This aspect is quite important for Li Wei, who has numerous secrets.
After receiving the key and bidding farewell to the landlord, Li Wei stayed in the room and took out the C-level gene fluid he obtained from Erin.
After playing with it for a while, he made a decision.
This time, he doesn't plan to infuse the vitality from the gene fluid into the Book of All Laws.
At present, the several abilities he holds—disregarding the shape-shifting technique—the Devil's Left Hand, the Sharingan, and Steel Chopping Flash are all quite practical. However, he wants to progress further. Whether it's unlocking new pages in the book to gain new abilities or enhancing existing power, it won't have a significant impact on actual combat strength.
The reason lies in the limitations his body imposes on these abilities.
In the battle against vampire Konstoff, he had realized that, even with the simultaneous use of Sharingan and Gangou Flash, his body could temporarily endure the strain. However, if he added his Demonic Left Hand, it would become extremely laborious. And if these abilities were enhanced further, their power and effects would indeed become greater, but at the cost of his body being unable to withstand it.
Under these circumstances, strengthening his physical body should be his top priority at present.
Genetic evolution fluid is precisely the kind of substance that can have such an effect.
Li Wei could sense that his body did not possess much potential, but he still wanted to give it a try.
A D-level gene fluid might not provide excellent results, but if he injected a C-level gene fluid, it should yield some improvements, right?
With these thoughts in mind, he inserted the needle into his body.
The liquid in the syringe was slowly pressed into his body. At the same time, Li Wei also quickly felt a surge of warmth rising from within.
He carefully felt the changes this power brought to his body.
First the heart, he distinctly felt his heartbeat becoming stronger. Then came the various organs within the entire body, followed by the limbs and muscles throughout. Finally, it reached the brain.
One injection,represents a comprehensive enhancement of physical functions.
The entire enhancement process lasted almost ten minutes. Li Wei could clearly perceive that his overall physical fitness had increased by more than fifty percent.
No wonder it's a class C gene fluid!
However, Li Wei soon regained his composure, even bringing a hint of a wry smile to his face.
This is a class C gene fluid.
Anyone with some potential, it doesn't have to be exceptional, just above average, as long as they pass the physical training, then there is a considerable chance that a dose of C-grade gene solution can directly break through to the level of ultimate physique. In fact, quite a few people with outstanding talent don't even need C-grade gene solution; they can rely on D-grade gene solution, or merely by their own training, to complete the ultimate tempering.
As for himself?
Admittedly, C-grade gene solution has brought him a significant improvement in physical fitness, but he can still sense that his body falls short of the ultimate limit.
Indeed, the statement "lacking potential" is not just a casual remark.
Therefore, Lee Wei becomes even more looking forward to the training at the Hunter's Guild headquarters.
