Inside the room, He Xie took out all the exotic flowers and fruits from the wooden box, touched them one by one, and a series of item prompts popped up.

After looking around, I learned that there were various expensive exotic flowers and fruits such as the thousand-year-old blood lotus, the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, and the snow mountain ice crystal fruit.

He Xie was increasingly shocked as he looked. How rich must this young delinquent's family be to be able to produce so many exotic flowers and fruits so casually?

This is amazing!

After calming himself down a bit, He Xie immediately thought: Devour!

The next second, the exotic flowers and fruits on the bed in front of him vanished instantly, turning into streams of light invisible to the naked eye that flowed into his brow.

[Qi and Blood Boost!]

[Mental Energy Plus!]

[Self-healing rate +1234%!]

[Endurance +1223%!]

[Burst chance +2873%!]

[Hardness increased by 2236%!]

[Perception +%!]

【......+....%！】

"Holy crap! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

As a series of numerical notifications popped up, He Xie's eyes widened, and he rolled around on the bed in pain, groaning in agony.

The body was overwhelmed by the excessive boost to my attributes in such a short time.

Fortunately, the stimulation subsided quickly, replaced by an indescribable feeling of comfort.

It felt like drinking water after a day of thirst, or eating after three days of hunger—utterly satisfying.

"It has evolved!"

He Xie opened the system panel and saw that the creature's level had changed from Rare Tier 8 to Rare Tier 9, just one step away from becoming an Epic creature.

It really is only one step away.

In terms of realms from old novels, his current state is that of a rare ninth-level Great Perfection!

After a short while...

He Xie felt much better and immediately opened the system store, ready to make a big move on the super magical blind boxes inside.

This time, instead of using half of his difference value to exchange for Spirit Transformation Grass Seeds and Fairy Dew, he decided to use it all to open Super Magical Blind Boxes.

He's just one step away from evolving into the epic level, and he's going to go all out to make a final push.

"10 million contrast points consumed!"

"Super magical blind box, open!"

He Xie, being wealthy and powerful, directly consumed 10 million contrast points and launched a 1000-shot combo.

The next moment, countless notifications popped into his mind, almost overwhelming him.

【Completely empty!】x1.

【Completely empty!】x2.

[Empty......] x3.

[......]x555.

【Completely empty!】x1000.

[Luck Value]: 1000%.

"???"

Looking at the 1,000 empty notification messages deep in his mind and the luck value of 1,000%, He Xie was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell? What's going on? My luck stat has broken 1000%! And it's still empty?!

This is a scam! No! This is outright robbery!

Damn system store, I'm your daddy!

!

He Xie was so angry that he rolled around on the bed, feeling like he was about to have a stroke.

"1000% luck, right?"

"Keep raising the price if you dare! Keep selling!"

"3 million contrast points consumed!"

"Open this amazing blind box!"

He Xie got carried away and used up all the remaining contrast value in one go, opening 300 consecutive times.

However, the result was not satisfactory.

【Completely empty!】x300.

[Luck Value]: 1300%.

He Xie was completely dumbfounded. This super magical blind box was just a blatant pig-butchering scam!

He calmed himself down, looked at the difference value which was only a little over 10,000, and then, with the last glimmer of hope, issued two commands.

"10,000 contrast points, consumed!"

"Open this amazing blind box!"

[Ding-dong!]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully obtained an epic-level demon core.]

The epic-level demon core has been automatically stored in your system inventory and can be retrieved manually.

Demon Core?

He Xie was somewhat surprised, and immediately opened his system backpack and took out the demon core.

As soon as I got my hands on it, an item notification popped up.

[Epic-grade Demon Core]: This is a demon core of epic rank 9, which is concentrated with most of the essence of an epic rank 9 creature in its lifetime.

Most of the essence of an epic ninth-tier creature before its death?

Today's evolution is solid!

Without hesitation, He Xie immediately thought: Devour!

Then, several notification messages popped up instantly.

[Qi and Blood Boost!]

[Mental Energy Plus!]

The added attributes are minimal, only health and spirit.

But the sheer number and refinement of these creatures allowed He Xie to evolve into an epic-level being on the spot.

Creature Rank: Rare Tier 9 → Epic Tier 1.

Throughout this evolution, He Xie didn't utter a single sound.

It wasn't that he had become more patient; rather, the moment the numerical notification appeared, he was so shocked that he fainted.

He didn't wake up from the bed until Lin Chuchu finished cooking and knocked on the door to call for help, looking completely dazed.

"Creak!"

A door was pushed open.

He Xie came out of the room rubbing his head, looking somewhat listless.

Are you feeling unwell?

Lin Chuchu asked with concern.

He Xie shook his head and laughed, "No, it's just that I ate too many exotic flowers and fruits just now. They were too nourishing, and my body couldn't adjust to them yet."

Lin Chuchu was speechless after hearing this and said, "Seriously, no one's going to take it from you, why are you eating so much?"

He Xie smiled and said, "Exotic flowers and fruits, just like regular fruits, should be eaten while they are fresh."

Lin Chuchu said speechlessly, "What do you think that wooden box containing exotic flowers and fruits is for? Isn't it just for keeping them fresh? You could leave those exotic flowers and fruits there for ten or eight years and they wouldn't necessarily spoil. I'm really impressed by you."

For the next half hour, the two sat facing each other and ate dinner.

They fed each other, kissed each other while eating...they did everything couples could do during a meal, and it was wonderful.

After the meal, He Xie saw Lin Chuchu off to class.

That's how the School of Pharmacology is; their class schedules are rather morbid.

They don't work during the day, they insist on working at night.

After dropping off Lin Chuchu, He Xie made a special trip to the corridor outside the pharmacy across the street, wanting to see Zhao Keying.

Then I found that the pharmacology room was closed and there was a warning sign that said no unauthorized personnel could enter, which made me feel a little disappointed.

I can't get in, this is tricky.

He Xie shook his head and glanced at his task list.

Well, there's still more than half of the task left to complete.

Time flies, so I'd better take advantage of this free time and go out and make a few.

Do what you want to do.

Soon, with the precise guidance of the unethical map, He Xie devised the optimal mission route.

Make sure you can complete the most tasks in the shortest amount of time.

The first task: Go to an orchard more than ten kilometers away from the Mountain and Sea Evolution University and clear out the demonic plants that suddenly appeared.

The second task: Several people in Nanhu Community have been vomiting repeatedly in a short period of time, suspected of being poisoned by a flower. Go and investigate the cause.

The third task: Recently, birds have been carrying seeds of demonic plants to the city and throwing them from high altitudes. Wherever they go, demonic plants are everywhere, causing great suffering to the local residents.

The fourth task: ......

Fifth task: ......

Over the next two hours, He Xie completed nearly ten tasks in a row.

All of them are missions related to demonic plants.

This is pretty obvious; it's the Divine Plant Cult causing trouble.

He Xie tried to gather information to investigate, but to no avail.

I simply can't understand what the Divine Plant Cult is trying to do.

At most, it will only cause a slight, insignificant disturbance within the human territory.

However, the result was a fierce counterattack from the human race, and they were repeatedly punished by following the clues, which was a loss for them.

Logically speaking, He Xie felt that if he were the leader of the Divine Plant Cult, he would definitely corrupt the human race secretly, rather than occasionally jumping out to carry out some meaningless attacks.

Therefore, he felt that the plant cult had been acting very strangely lately.

I don't know what their purpose is in doing this.

Seeing that he really couldn't figure it out, He Xie stopped worrying about it.

He believed that instead of wasting time agonizing over this, it would be better to spend more time completing tasks to earn points, which could be used to devour loot to evolve and accumulate points to exchange for exotic flowers and fruits.

That's killing two birds with one stone.

Having completed two more tasks, He Xie saw that it was almost time, so he went to the School of Pharmacology to pick up Lin Chuchu after class.

When he arrived, Lin Chuchu was still in the classroom, listening attentively to the lesson and taking notes, displaying the demeanor of a top student.

Seeing that there were still more than ten minutes left before get out of class ended, He Xie, feeling bored, went to the pharmacology room across the building to find Zhao Keying.

The result was really frustrating.

The doors and windows were still tightly closed, and nothing could be seen.

Let alone going in to find Zhao Keying.

There was no other way but to go back to the teaching building.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Chuchu finished class.

As soon as the teacher said get out of class was over, she couldn't wait to walk out of the classroom and affectionately took He Xie's hand.

The girls passing by were incredibly envious, their faces filled with envy and jealousy.

They also want a boyfriend like He Xie, who is both handsome and capable, so they can live a carefree life, clinging to their boyfriend's leg and flying high.

"Here, I bought you some food."

Suddenly, as if by magic, He Xie produced a cup of milk tea, a bag of bear-shaped cookies, and a box of egg tarts from behind his back, and handed them to Lin Chuchu with a smile.

Lin Chuchu was extremely happy and couldn't resist wanting to stand on tiptoe and give He Xie a passionate kiss.

However, she felt embarrassed to do so in public, as she was still quite shy when it came to matters of the heart.

"There are so many people, let's go back quickly."

Lin Chuchu couldn't stand the stares from those around her and felt very uncomfortable.

He Xie didn't say much, just said "okay," and then took Lin Chuchu back to the dormitory.

......

Apartment for all-round students.

Dormitory 404.

He Xie originally wanted to give Lin Chuchu a princess carry, carrying her all the way from downstairs into the room, and have a good time with her.

As soon as I opened the dormitory door, I sensed Zhao Keying resting on the sofa in the living room.

In the end, he could only put Lin Chuchu down and walk into the house with her.

"Sis, if you're sleepy, go to your room and sleep. Why are you lying on the sofa?"

He Xie walked to the sofa and looked at Zhao Keying, offering her advice.

Zhao Keying sat up from the sofa and said, "It's okay, I'm not too sleepy yet. There's no need to go to bed so early. Going to bed too early is a waste of time."

Hearing this, Lin Chuchu also advised, "Sister Keying, there's no need to push yourself so hard in your studies. Your health is the most important thing."

Zhao Keying smiled wryly, "There's no way around pharmacology. You can't get ahead if you don't work hard. In this major, effort is far more important than talent, which is very friendly to someone like me with mediocre talent."

After hearing this, He Xie said, "You already have a successful man like me backing you up, so why work so hard? Just lie down and give up, and I'll take care of you from now on. Isn't that better?"

"Smells good, my foot!" Zhao Keying rolled her eyes at He Xie, annoyed. "A life of self-reliance is truly delicious. Do you think everyone is like you, always dreaming of living off a rich woman?"

"What's wrong with living off a rich woman?" He Xie said dismissively, "Look how appealing Chu Chu is, she's beautiful and rich. I'm so happy to be living off her, it's a real treat."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Lin Chuchu pinched He Xie in annoyance, warning him not to talk nonsense in front of Zhao Keying, it was embarrassing, okay?

He Xie went even further, pulling Lin Chuchu onto his lap right in front of Zhao Keying. He pinched her lips and said with a smile, "I'm not lying. You just took care of me this afternoon, rich lady. You can't deny it."

Ugh, you're so annoying!

Lin Chuchu blushed and broke free from He Xie's intimate embrace, walking towards the bathroom as if fleeing, saying, "I'm going to take a shower, I can't be bothered with you!"

He Xie called out to her, "Don't you take your clothes with you when you take a shower?"

Hearing He Xie shout like that, Lin Chuchu immediately felt embarrassed and quickly turned around and walked towards Zhao Keying's room.

The clothes she brought were all placed in Zhao Keying's room, because the two of them would be sleeping together for the next few days.

After a short while, they entered the room.

Lin Chuchu blushed and took out a set of underwear that she had kept at the bottom of her trunk. Then she wrapped it in a little white nightgown and took it out to avoid being seen by Zhao Keying in the living room.

Around midnight, she was going to He Xie's room to take the final step, and she had to dress herself up beautifully so as not to have any regrets.

Seeing Lin Chuchu walk into the bathroom and hearing the sound of running water coming from inside, Zhao Keying looked at He Xie with a hesitant expression, then said solemnly, "These past few days, I've had a feeling that I'm being followed."

Upon hearing this, He Xie immediately dropped his frivolous manner and frowned slightly, saying, "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."

Zhao Keying said, "Every time I come out of the pharmacology lab, I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching me from the shadows. I don't know if it's just my imagination."

He Xie: "A perverted stalker?"

Zhao Keying shook her head: "I don't think so."

He Xie: "Chen Peilin?"

Zhao Keying shook her head again: "It's not her either."

He Xie: "Have you done anything recently that offended or hindered anyone?"

Zhao Keying: "My life lately has been very monotonous, going back and forth between the pharmacology lab, the classroom, and the dormitory every day. I haven't had much contact with people at all."

He Xie: "Could it be your imagination?"

"etc!"

Zhao Keying suddenly thought of something and said, "I think I know why."

He Xie asked curiously, "Why?"

"It's definitely because of my research!" Zhao Keying explained, "The research I'm doing now, if successful, could revolutionize the entire field of transplantation!"

He Xie's curiosity was now fully piqued, and he asked, "So, what exactly is this research you've been busy with lately? Why is it not disrupting the field of pharmacology, but rather the field of transplantation, which is completely unrelated to your expertise?"
