Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 97: Chapter 89: Preliminary Ability to Not Eat Beef (2/10)

Lu Li held a large cardboard box, tucked a pair of porcelain plates under his arm, and took the elevator down to the underground garage.

The large cardboard box contained nine pieces of porcelain, including a rimmed washing bowl and a dragon-patterned plate, with plenty of foam stuffed inside to prevent any accidental breakage while driving.

The Porsche 911 is a two-door, four-seat car, but the rear seats are quite small.

He expended considerable effort to stuff the large cardboard box into the rear seat and then secured it with a plastic strap.

”This car is pretty small, good for showing off, but not really suitable for carrying things.”

Lu Li contemplated whether to buy another car with more space.

After all, driving isn’t just about showing off.

Sometimes you might need to carry things.

Or perhaps take your parents out for a drive in the mountains or along the water.

You can’t really make your parents squeeze into the back seat, can you?

What’s more, who knows if one day I might date a pretty girl and want to have some adventurous fun?

”Hmm, I’ll check online later to see which car has more space.”

Thinking this, Lu Li got into the passenger seat, started the car, and mused, ”With this deep evolution, I wonder what new abilities I’ve developed. I should find a place to test them.”

He immediately activated super hearing and super smell, checking if anyone was following him.

Something strange happened.

Clearly, he had only activated super hearing and super smell.

He hadn’t activated the ability to see scenes through smell.

Yet after hearing sounds and smelling scents, a series of images still formed in his mind.

About ten meters away in a corner of the parking lot, there seemed to be a decaying rat carcass.

On the branches of a magnolia tree on the ground, three or four sparrows were chirping.

Some cleaning ladies were sweeping the ground, chatting about everyday matters.

A foul stench wafted from the trash can, where there was a bag of rotten apples.

Many images flashed in his consciousness in an instant.

Unlike seeing complete, real scenes through smell,

the images he ”saw” now were almost all fragmented.

For example, places where there was no smell or sound appeared as complete darkness.

Each smell, each sound, presented itself as a separate image.

Also, for scents or sounds he had no memory of, the images appeared blurry.

As for the familiar scents and sounds, they would mimic real scenes.

For example, among the chatting cleaning ladies, Lu Li had a somewhat impression of one with a raspy voice, and could simulate in his mind her gray hair, full wrinkles, and short stature.

The other three he had no impression of were just blurry figures.

In short, seeing images via smell was truly seeing.

Currently, it’s more like he has three-dimensional memory.

Everything is visualized.

It’s not like the real image is just like that.

”Hmm?” Lu Li was amazed, ”I didn’t activate the ability to see images via smell, yet I can still simulate images in my mind?”

He knew all this should be related to his greatly enhanced Spiritual Power.

”With increased Spiritual Power, do these extra functions come as a bonus?”

Lu Li analyzed carefully, ”This shouldn’t be a skill, it’s more like a stronger perception able to manifest in a three-dimensional way.”

Does this mean I can still have this ability under normal circumstances?

Lu Li deactivated his super hearing, super smell, and other superpowers, ready to test with an object.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from outside.

Shortly after, a rapidly speeding sports car rushed down from the entrance of Area A of the underground garage.

Lu Li looked towards the sound and saw a red car shadow coming at him.

Previously, even with increased perception, he couldn’t see the car’s specific appearance without using superpowers.

After all, the speed was too fast, estimated at eighty or ninety kilometers per hour.

This time was different.

His dynamic vision seemed greatly enhanced.

He had a clear view of all the specifics of this red Porsche 718.

Including the license plate number, the accessories hanging from the rear window, the appearance of the woman in the white dress in the driver’s seat, nothing escaped his sight.

It was as if he had several times the dynamic vision of a normal human.

Lu Li blinked, ”With such strong dynamic vision and my super-quick reflexes, wouldn’t I easily win championships if I played eSports?”

At this moment, he finally confirmed that his perception had indeed greatly increased.

All thanks to his Spiritual Power becoming several times stronger.

Several times stronger was just his conjecture.

He hadn’t tested exactly how much it had increased yet, so he temporarily didn’t know.

After confirming that no one was following him, Lu Li quickly drove the car outside the community.

...

There was a small grove nearby.

Lu Li parked the car nearby and slipped into the grove.

This place was already sparsely populated.

Additionally, being work hours,

there was no one in the grove at all.

His gaze casually fell on some broken half bricks on the ground.

These were standard red bricks.

Normally, a piece weighs about 2.63 kilograms.

Although the brick pieces in front of him were only halves, they still weighed around 1.3 kilograms, quite heavy.

”Let’s see if Spiritual Power can move these half bricks.”

Lu Li thought to himself, ”If I can move them and control them freely, then using Spiritual Power to control a sword shouldn’t be a problem.”

The ancient superior-grade sword is about sixty centimeters long and weighs three jins and twelve liang.

The middle-grade sword is about fifty centimeters long and weighs two jins and fourteen liang.

The inferior-grade sword is about forty centimeters long and weighs two jins and one liang.

In terms of weight, the middle-grade sword is about the same as half a standard-sized red brick.

That is, if I can levitate half a red brick, I can also levitate the middle-grade sword.

With this thought, Lu Li used spiritual power to attempt levitating half a red brick.

An effortful feeling was transmitted.

However, to his surprise, the half red brick truly wobbled and floated into the air.

”It’s really possible? It truly is possible!”

Lu Li was overjoyed, ”Previously, my spiritual power could only barely lift the weight of two chopsticks, and control a single chopstick with ease, but now I can barely lift half a red brick?”

What does this represent?

It represents that spiritual power has increased by at least fifty to sixty times!

A single chopstick weighs about ten grams.

Two chopsticks weigh twenty grams.

While half a red brick weighs approximately one thousand three hundred grams.

Clearly, hasn’t spiritual power increased by fifty to sixty times?

”Currently, I can’t fully control this weight, but a slightly lighter sword or dagger can definitely be controlled with ease.”

Lu Li couldn’t help but become excited, ”Seeing this, I can already control a small sword or dagger, and doing so would have much more power than flying needles.”

Now there’s a new issue.

Just how far has the range of my spiritual power’s release expanded?

It’s relatively easy to test this.

With a wave of his hand, half the brick flew into his palm.

He grasped one half and used the other hand in a knife-hand shape to chop forcefully.

In an instant, half the brick became a quarter of a brick.

He weighed the small portion of the brick in his hand.

”This weight should be manageable for control.”

Lu Li once again exerted spiritual power to move the small chunk of brick forward.

Ten meters, easily.

Thirty meters, still calm and comfortable.

Eighty meters, started to strain a bit.

At one hundred meters, the brick fell down powerlessly.

Lu Li had a thoughtful look, ”So my spiritual power release range has increased from about ten meters to roughly one hundred meters, a tenfold increase.”

The ratio of release range to weight control is approximately 1 to 5.

Even though the increase in release range is not as massive, Lu Li was still very pleased.

”With this, my effective attack range is farther than an average handgun.”

Typically, a handgun’s effective range is around fifty meters.

If it’s a submachine handgun or a specially designed handgun, the effective range can reach a hundred to one hundred fifty meters.

However, the effective range of a handgun is just that—the actual damage is not particularly stable, and others still have room to dodge.

My spiritual power’s release range might not match that of a submachine handgun, but it excels in stability in attack.

As long as I desire, I can almost guarantee one hundred percent accuracy.

”The key thing...” Lu Li blinked his eyes, ”I can not only freely control a small sword or dagger weighing six or seven hundred grams, I can completely move hundreds of needles, attacking like a torrential downpour!”

Although I haven’t tried it, and I don’t know if I can control hundreds of needles simultaneously with ease, from a weight-analysis perspective, I already possess this capability.

”Previously, I could control one chopstick well, but realistically could only handle two needles, as a chopstick generally weighs ten grams, while a needle is about one gram. Based on weight ratio analysis, it’s probably difficult to simultaneously control hundreds of needles efficiently, but controlling a few dozen shouldn’t be a major challenge.”

Lu Li looked at the leaves scattered on the ground and decided to experiment once more.

He exerted his spiritual power with full strength.

In an instant, the leaves on the ground floated upwards as if defying physical laws.

At a glance, there were about several hundred leaves weighing a little over one gram each.

Lu Li attempted to move the leaves and found it almost impossible.

He gradually reduced the number to test again.

Three hundred leaves were still out of the question.

Two hundred was still unmanageable.

One hundred could barely make it.

With fifty, he could manage with ease.

Lu Li used spiritual power to have these leaves revolve around him.

Suddenly, he propelled one of the leaves to speed up sharply, darting toward a nearby tree trunk.

Whoosh!

A light sound.

Lu Li was amazed to find the leaf actually pierced into the tree trunk by about five millimeters!

”What the hell!” he was stunned, ”Isn’t this akin to the supreme realm in martial arts novels, where even a flower petal or leaf can be lethal?”

Lu Li once read an online analysis on how flower petals and leaves could be lethal.

The conclusion was that for a leaf to injure, its kinetic energy would need to be similar to that of a Type 77 pistol bullet.

That is to say, the power I achieved in controlling leaves is almost comparable to a Type 77 pistol?

This discovery was undoubtedly very exciting!

After all, I can simultaneously control several dozen leaves.

Releasing them all at once would be equivalent to a salvo from several dozen Type 77 pistols!

With just flesh and blood, who could withstand such power?

Lu Li could finally boldly declare that he had preliminarily acquired the ’cutting through beef like tofu’ ability!

Currently, I’ve measured the strength of my spiritual power, but there’s still one more thing untested.

Lu Li showed a piqued expression, ”Could the chemically converted energy inside my body also possess immensely powerful destructive capabilities, just like spiritual power?”
