’A Glory Level chest!’
Guan Tong’s eyes lit up. He remembered that the reward for clearing the first Apocalypse Rule was just a Bronze Level chest.
’Who knows how many tiers higher Glory Level is than Bronze Level... This is a reward truly worthy of being world number one.’
"Open."
[Obtained Item: Genetic Optimization Base Liquid]
[Genetic Optimization Base Liquid]: When consumed, comprehensively optimizes and repairs genetic defects.
’This...’
Looking at the random item he’d received, Guan Tong felt like he had just won the lottery.
’Judging by the description, even if this stuff doesn’t turn me into a superman, it should at least enhance my physical attributes across the board, right?’
Without a second thought, Guan Tong chose to use it.
A small vial, only a few dozen milliliters, appeared in his hand, containing a pale golden liquid.
He twisted off the cap and drank it down.
GLUG, GLUG.
The base liquid was tasteless, just like water.
But within seconds of drinking it, Guan Tong felt his entire body begin to burn up.
It wasn’t exactly painful, but it felt like a high fever, and his consciousness instantly started to blur.
Guan Tong wanted to make it back to his room and lie down, but after taking just one step, he collapsed onto the living room floor with a THUD.
...He lost consciousness...
An unknown amount of time later, Guan Tong groggily awoke.
He opened his eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall.
’3:00 PM? I was out for six hours...’
Stunned, Guan Tong scrambled to his feet. As he stood up, he realized his body had undergone several changes.
The first thing he noticed was a feeling of lightness—not just in his body, but in his mind as well.
It was like formatting a phone with a full memory; his thoughts became incredibly clear and sharp.
He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Even his face and physique had changed slightly.
It wasn’t that he had gotten taller or more handsome. If he had to describe it, it was that everything had become more... harmonious!
’Yes, harmonious.’
Guan Tong looked at his reflection and thought, ’Is all this from that bottle of Genetic Optimization Base Liquid?’
He walked out of the bathroom and looked out the window.
His vision was unbelievably clear. Guan Tong subconsciously raised a hand to touch the corner of his eye.
’My vision, too...’
He used to be slightly nearsighted, but now his vision was unnaturally sharp. He could clearly see the potted plants on the balcony of the building across the street.
’Did the Genetic Optimization Base Liquid really change that much?’
Guan Tong immediately opened his personal terminal to check.
[Name: Guan Tong]
[Nickname: Shadow]
[Title: Orderkeeper]
[Psychic Power: 114]
[Sublimation Coin: 100]
[Overall Biological Profile: Excellent]
’There it is!’
Guan Tong was thrilled. The most direct change from the base liquid was reflected in the increase to his Psychic Power limit!
His limit, which had been 97, was now 114!
To think that before, he had to drain himself dry over and over just to raise it by a single point!
Moreover, by breaking the 100-point threshold, his Overall Biological Profile had also been upgraded from "Average" to "Excellent."
