Currently, Li Wei has two options.
Either he could inject the remaining two bottles of gene liquid into the Book of All Laws to fill it up to three-quarters for future use; or he could use these two bottles of gene liquid to unlock his own body's potential.
Li Wei chose the latter option.
Although he could save up his vitality, it would not have a positive impact on his current strength. However, if he used gene liquid to unlock his body's potential, he would see immediate improvements.
At present, Li Wei believes that it is relatively more important to quickly enhance his overall strength in various aspects.
After drinking two bottles of D-level gene fluid, he felt that his physical fitness had improved by about 10% in various aspects.
Better than nothing.
Now, Li Wei felt that if he didn't use the power of the Book of All Laws and relied solely on his physical body, he could probably exchange a few moves with someone who has completed ultimate tempering.
This is already a lot better. Before, without the predictive insight of the Sharingan, he couldn't even keep up with other people's movements.
After fully absorbing the effects of the two bottles of D-level gene fluid, he began to consider tomorrow's task of escorting Yasha to the Clover branch with Judith.
In the end, he decided to go with them.
A Class B commission, the reward is not low. Although because of Judith's participation, this senior hunter is bound to get the lion's share, Li Wei who cooperates with her in it can always at least get some soup even if he can't get any meat to eat.
Having a bowl of soup in a Class B mission yields more profits than a Class C mission.
As for the risks, with Judith's presence, it may even be lower than a Class C mission... right?
...
The next day, Li Wei arrived at the "Wilderness Delicacies" tavern and saw Erin.
"Have you decided?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind. I'll go on this trip."
Erin's face revealed a smile: "It's good to have thought it through."
She believed that Li Wei is indeed a smart person. People should always strive for higher ground, especially those in the hunter profession. She had seen too many people who, out of fear of risk and fear of the future, became complacent and hesitant, fearing to move forward.
Zhang Zongming, for instance, was a good example. He was once a well-known figure, but later on, despite carrying the ridiculous reputation of being the "Top Expert of Block 17," he even hesitated to face a Class C mission, which ultimately led to his current situation of having lost an arm.
Indeed, in this world, those who do nothing will not fail. The more you do, the more mistakes you make; do less, mistakes are fewer; do nothing, there are no mistakes. However, it's one thing for mediocrity to settle for this, but for those with genuine ambition, how can they be content with mediocrity?
In the matter of escorting Yasha, if Li Wei had avoided going due to concerns over "risk," Eileen would have been very disappointed and would reassess the worthiness of investing in his potential.
Nevertheless, Li Wei eventually made the right choice, which pleased her greatly.
An hour later, at the entrance of "Wilderness Delicacies" tavern, Li Wei saw Judith and Yasha.
Both women, with a backpack each, were clearly ready for the journey. Li Wei was also prepared for the trip.
"Yes, the young man is impressive," Judith nodded with satisfaction, saying, "It's about that time now. Have you left nothing behind? Then let's get ready to leave."
"Alright."
Waving goodbye to Eileen, the three of them embarked on their journey to the Four-Leaf Clover branch.
...
The journey from the 17th street block to the Four-Leaf Clover branch is actually not short.
In a vast metropolis with a population exceeding thirty million, the land coverage is extremely, extremely, and extremely extensive.
The lower districts do not have as many high-rise buildings. A large portion of the urban land is developed into food raw material cultivation farms. These farms are stacked with supports and cultivated without soil, but after all, they need to meet the food demands of the entire population, so the land coverage is naturally very large.
For the vast majority of urban residents, Westum is just a city, but in reality, this is equivalent to their world. Most people have no chance to leave the city in their lifetime - of course, they do not have such desires either.
It would take a very long time to walk from the 17th street block to the Four-Leaf Clover branch; let's not consider that. In fact, Liwei has only been to the upper districts a few times, all through public transportation.
In the lower districts, there is a type of tram that travels through various blocks.
These trams, powered by a large amount of white crystals as fuel, operate on schedule throughout the lower districts. Generally speaking, crossing districts requires taking the tram, as it would be too slow to rely on one's own two feet.
However, this time it's unnecessary because Judith is a car owner.
As a high-ranking demon hunter, it's not unimaginable for Judith to own a car.
In the lower districts, cars are very rare, but their numbers increase when you go to the upper districts.
Judith's vehicle is a greyish-black off-roader; if Levi remembers correctly, the car should be called "Mustang," a rather high-end brand.
The "Wild Horse" has a very wild appearance, with large tires and a high chassis. This is all specially designed to meet the needs of off-road travel. Moreover, the side and front of her vehicles have been modified with impact angles and blade armors, which not only enhance defensive capabilities, but also prepare for emergency escapes in the wild, providing some usefulness when driving away from some monsters' sieges.
However, this-world vehicle is still quite different from the cars that filled the streets and alleys of Li Wei's past life. The car's strength has increased a lot, capable of dragging very heavy objects, but its speed is relatively slow.
As for Judith's vehicle, even at top speed, it can only reach about 100 kilometers per hour at most. According to the route planned by the three of them, this journey, even if there are no incidents, would take eight hours of driving to reach the destination. Moreover, on the narrow and unfriendly road conditions for vehicle travel in the lower-level area, they can only drive even slower.
These are restrictions on energy types. In the new world, raw materials like oil and coal are basically no longer used. Instead, energy crystals have taken their place.
The lowest quality is white crystals, the better ones are blue crystals, and the highest quality is purple crystals.
These energy crystals serve as the source of power for factories, vehicles, lights, household appliances, and even weapons, just like oil, coal, and electricity did in the previous world.
It is precisely because of the important position of energy crystals in the new era that they have been directly used as currency. Regular crystal currency is a coin about the size of a fingernail. At the same time, the issued paper money is also pegged to energy crystals and can be directly exchanged for crystals at financial banks.
