Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 287: Chapter 260: My Boyfriend Is Superman

Shanglin Garden, inside a Chinese-style courtyard villa.

After returning, Lu Li didn’t rush to contact Gu Wei.

He first took a comfortable bath, and only then lay down on the bed.

Lu Li dialed Gu Wei’s phone number.

Actually, it wouldn’t have mattered if he hadn’t bathed.

His body had evolved several times and had a certain self-cleaning ability.

Bathing was simply a habit.

For example, eating is to provide energy to the body.

But with his current physique, the mere energy from eating is far from sufficient to sustain him.

Yet, he still eats purely out of habit.

Besides, the tastiness of the food also plays a certain role.

Ring.

Ring ring.

Waiting for it to connect.

A moment later, the call connected.

Gu Wei’s voice came from the other end, ”Good evening, Mr. Lu.”

Half-lying down, Lu Li yawned and said, ”Good evening, Old Gu. I’m not disturbing your rest, am I?”

Gu Wei laughed and said, ”No, it’s still early. Do you have something on your mind?”

Lu Li nodded, ”I do have a bit of a thing, I want to ask you for some help.”

Gu Wei said, ”Please, go ahead.”

Lu Li got straight to the point, ”I need to conduct an experiment and I require a lot of electrical energy, so I wanted to ask if you could provide me with a large power station for a couple of days?”

Currently, the strength of Lu Li’s body is about sixty-four times the peak of a normal human.

Logically, according to the ratio, he would only need to eat the equivalent of meals for sixty-four people to be satisfied.

But in reality, the strength of his physical fitness isn’t as simple as one plus one; it grows geometrically.

Thus, he consumes far more energy daily than the total of sixty-four people.

Yes, Lu Li knows his true strength, which isn’t as the outside world perceives, capable of explosive power equivalent to a couple of small boys.

The reason why he can unleash such immense power.

It’s entirely because he uses the microscopic eye to condense ”volcanic tuff” subatomic particles.

To be precise, that isn’t his own power, but rather the power of ”nature.”

Put plainly, if it were in an area lacking particles, even with the microscopic eye, Lu Li wouldn’t be able to condense ”volcanic tuff” subatomic particles, let alone unleash such terrifying power.

Now, to enter the fourth deep evolution, the energy required may reach hundreds of times the usual maintenance.

Therefore, Lu Li needs a large power station to serve him.

Normally, a large thermal power station with an installed capacity of one million kilowatts can generate twenty-four million kilowatt-hours of electricity daily.

Meanwhile, the energy produced by the explosion of a small boy is equivalent to only about fifteen million kilowatt-hours.

Lu Li thinks the energy required for the fourth deep evolution is at most comparable to the energy generated by a small boy’s explosion.

To be safe, he specifically requested to use it for two days.

This way, he can absorb up to forty-eight million kilowatt-hours of electrical energy, equivalent to three small boys.

Hmm, it should not require that much.

Because if it really needed that much energy, just the physical strength explosion of his body might reach the power of a small boy, or perhaps even exceed it. Not to mention using the microscopic eye to condense ”volcanic tuff” subatomic particles.

Gu Wei didn’t immediately agree; instead, he carefully asked, ”How big of a power station do you need, for example, how much power do you need generated every day?”

Lu Li responded, ”A power station that generates twenty-four million kilowatt-hours daily.”

Gu Wei chuckled bitterly, ”Mr. Lu, do you know that the East Guang Yangjiang Pumped Storage Power Station is the country’s largest single-unit capacity with three 400-megawatt pumped-storage units?”

Lu Li blinked, ”I didn’t know that, why?”

Gu Wei explained, ”That power station starts and stops nine times a day, with full load operation generally lasting about nine hours, but the daily power generation is only 6.17 million kilowatt-hours. Now you want a power station with a daily generation of twenty-four million kilowatt-hours. Theoretically, some power stations running continuously for 24 hours could meet this requirement, but in reality, power stations can’t run at full capacity around the clock. Those that can meet your requirements do exist in the country, but they’re all used for people’s livelihood, such as the Jiaxing Power Plant near you. Its total installed capacity is 5.12 million kilowatts, with eight units running at full power, resulting in daily power generation exceeding 100 million kilowatt-hours. However, it’s supplying electricity to the whole province. If it diverted twenty-four million kilowatt-hours for your use, a quarter of Zhejiang Province’s residents would face difficulty using electricity.”

During the scorching summer, if a quarter of Zhejiang’s residents face power difficulties, it could indeed lead to fatalities from the heat.

Lu Li couldn’t simply disregard the lives of millions.

He couldn’t help but feel helpless, wondering if he really had to find a way to gather the necessary energy for the fourth deep evolution on his own?

Fortunately, Gu Wei shifted the conversation, ”But since it’s your request, I’ll definitely do my best to meet it.”

This time, Lu Li understood; what Gu Wei meant by saying all those things earlier was to remind him not to use the resources and then turn his back on them like an ingrate.

He chuckled and said, ”Old Gu, do you have something you want me to do?”

Not feeling embarrassed after being exposed, Gu Wei laughed, ”There’s nothing for you to do right now, but in the future, there might be significant events where we need you to deter other countries with ill intentions. Of course, it’s merely for deterrence, you don’t actually have to take action, otherwise... it would be too horrifying.”

Lu Li blinked, ”If I hadn’t caused such a huge commotion in Mexico, would it have been more difficult for me to ask you for a large power station today?”

Gu Wei emphatically denied, ”How could that be? We agreed to your last request to use a particle collider, so why wouldn’t we agree to something else?”

Hmm, Gu Wei is just talking nonsense.

The top agreed to let Lu Li use the particle collider solely because they knew about the subatomic particles of the ”volcanic ash rock,” which if researched, could greatly advance Huaxia’s scientific civilization.

Otherwise, with only two large particle colliders in the country, a bunch of people and countless important projects are waiting, how could they possibly pull one out for Lu Li to use?

Of course, it’s not that Lu Li can’t use it; it’s just that to use it normally, he would have to wait until some of the projects currently using the large collider are finished before he can use it.

The situation with large power plants is similar now.

These things generally need to ensure the people’s livelihood.

How could they be requisitioned so casually?

This is under normal circumstances.

Lu Li clearly doesn’t belong to normal circumstances.

Gu Wei and the people above, after knowing that Lu Li created the massive explosion in Michoacán, Mexico, such a terrifying event, all understood what Lu Li means, so naturally, they have to make every effort to make him remember the good of Huaxia. Regardless of whether they’ll need him to do anything in the future, at least he won’t one day get upset and act like a big shot in Huaxia.

It can be said that Lu Li could quickly obtain the rights to use a large power plant entirely because of the stir he caused in Mexico, conquering some people psychologically.

Otherwise, wanting to use a large power plant isn’t impossible; at the very least, he would have to wait until the weather cools, and the demand for electricity for the people’s livelihood isn’t so tight before he can.

Gu Wei continued, ”I’m arranging for a standby large power plant from another area to be available, it should be ready the day after tomorrow. Is it okay for you to wait another day?”

Lu Li agreed without hesitation, ”Sure, see you the day after tomorrow then?”

Gu Wei said, ”Deal, I’ll have someone come pick you up then.”

After discussing the matter, they hung up the phone.

Lu Li stretched contentedly, preparing to go to sleep.

After all, his body has stopped evolving for now, and his girlfriend has her parents over, so there doesn’t seem to be anything else to do.

Besides sleeping, what else can he do?

”Right, I wonder what Kexin is doing now? Should I use my regional omniscience to check on her?”

Lu Li thought for a moment and ultimately gave up on the idea; it felt a bit too ”clingy.”

...

Meanwhile, at Diamond Home.

In the master bedroom, Liu Kexin, who was being thought of by Lu Li, had just finished showering. She was sitting at the desk by the window, dressed in pink pajamas, staring at the computer screen.

Liu Kexin was also wearing headphones on both ears.

Generally speaking, home surveillance cameras usually come with microphones.

This means they can collect sound, thus capturing conversations within the room.

This design allows the surveillance camera to provide not only visual monitoring but also audio monitoring, offering more comprehensive security.

Liu Kexin’s landlord is a slightly neurotic old man who fears someone might break into the house to steal something, so he installed a camera in the living room.

She used to find this a bit bothersome.

Who would have thought it would come in handy this time?

”Let me see what Lu Li’s true form looks like.”

Liu Kexin thought to herself as she clicked the play button.

She casually picked up the freshly brewed hot coffee beside her, blowing on it and occasionally sipping it.

At first, the video footage and the content of the conversation between Liu Yeli and Liu Ke Ping didn’t exceed Liu Kexin’s knowledge of Lu Li.

For example, the Vox fighting incident was something she already knew about, even if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.

Therefore, when she zoomed in on the footage and observed this scene, she only showed a look of surprise, not shock.

At this moment, she took another sip of coffee, preparing to swallow it.

Suddenly, an image of Lu Li performing the feat of ”lifting the cauldron with one hand” appeared on the screen.

”Pfft!”

Liu Kexin instantly spat out the coffee.

She looked a bit dumbfounded, ”Three... three tons of impact force, all blocked by Lu Li?”

She thought witnessing this scene was shocking enough.

However, what happened next completely overturned her worldview!

Ten minutes later, the video finished playing.

Liu Kexin was completely stupefied.

Her face was filled with horror, and she was deeply entrenched in existential doubt!

Why?

Why, indeed!

Because she just found out from the surveillance footage that her boyfriend could unleash power equivalent to a nuclear weapon!

Liu Kexin found it incredibly hard to believe.

She never expected that her normally gentle and polite boyfriend, who only occasionally showed explosive combat power, turned out to be like a human-shaped nuclear weapon!

At that moment, only one thought filled her mind: Is my boyfriend a superman?
