Chapter 76 Million Consumption Gene Evolution Fluid
Lu Xuan poured Li Tie a bowl of chilled canned oranges. "Did the village chief need something from me?"
Li Tie ate two chilled orange segments with relish before saying, "I came to find you to exchange for a larger spatial ring."
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow: "Is it your personal space or a public space?"
Li Tie waved his hand and said, "Of course it's public. My family's supplies are enough for now. These past few days, everyone has been stockpiling a lot of supplies. Meat and fruit spoil easily, so everyone has come to me asking me to help store them. It looks like the 50 cubic meters is about to overflow. Luckily, we've stockpiled a lot of public supplies, enough to exchange for a larger space. Let's exchange them as soon as possible so that our good supplies don't spoil because they don't fit."
Lu Xuan nodded in understanding. "So you want to switch to a 100-cubic-meter one?"
Li Tie nodded, "Yes." He couldn't afford a bigger one either.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, "Actually, I have a way to preserve those fresh supplies for a longer period of time."
Li Tie perked up, "What method? How many can be preserved?"
Lu Xuan: "Storing it for two or three years shouldn't be a problem."
Li Tie immediately became excited, "Is it really that amazing?! Don't joke about your uncle."
Lu Xuan took the item directly out of his spatial storage.
"Of course I'm not joking. This is something new that I got from the immortal yesterday. It's called a vacuum packaging machine. You can put fresh ingredients into the packaging bag and then remove the air inside to extend their shelf life."
As he spoke, he picked up a few pieces of fruit and demonstrated.
Li Tie looked at the vacuum-packed food in his hand, which was completely airtight after the air had been removed. Although he had never seen vacuum-packed food before, he had no doubts since Lu Xuan said that this method was possible.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Great! With this, everyone can store their supplies safely!"
There are no supplies that can be kept for two or three years without being eaten; for them, this shelf life is basically no different from never spoiling.
Lu Xuan: "Should we change the space again?"
Li Tie paused for a moment, then quickly nodded firmly and said, "Change!"
If you don't change it today, in ten days or half a month, when X has accumulated more resources, you'll still have to change it. The sooner you change it, the sooner you'll feel at ease.
As for whether I'll need to buy a bigger one after this replacement... we'll talk about that later.
According to the previously agreed price, the group price for 100 cubic meters of space is 1200 jin of grain.
There wasn't enough food in the public supplies, but meat could be worth twice the price of food. Although the fruit grown by the catalyst was very sweet, it was still not as valuable as food during a catastrophe, so it was calculated at two-thirds the price of food.
In the end, Li Tie paid a total of 200 jin of mutton, chicken, and rabbit meat, as well as 1200 jin of fruit, in exchange for a 100-cubic-meter ring.
After exchanging the rings, Li Tie immediately called over all the villagers who had stayed behind. Holding the vacuum packaging machine in his hand, he said excitedly, "This is a magical treasure that Lu Xuan lent us. It's a vacuum packaging machine that can extend the shelf life of fresh food by two or three years! Anyone who wants to use this treasure to package their own supplies, come and talk to me."
The villagers were immediately in an uproar.
"There are such amazing things?"
"Can it really be stored for two or three years without spoiling? Isn't that much longer than cured meat?"
Can it hold any kind of food?
Li Tie shouted, "Anything is fine! Vegetables, fruits, mushrooms, meat—anything you're worried about spoiling can be packed in!"
After confirming the details several times, the villagers couldn't wait to retrieve the supplies they had stored in the public space ring and started lining up to prepare for vacuum packing.
Ultimately, everyone secretly hopes to keep their own supplies safe.
Although not storing them would inevitably take up space in the living environment, the supplies that take up space are what ensure that the family doesn't starve, so they don't mind at all.
Looking at it twice a day will make you feel more energetic and refreshed.
The villagers originally planned to dry most of the fruit they harvested yesterday into dried fruit, but with the vacuum packaging machine, many changed their minds and only prepared to dry one-third or one-quarter of it.
The fruits grown by magical means are crisp, sweet, and delicious. If you can eat them fresh, you should definitely keep as many fresh ones as possible. If you run out of dried fruit later, you can dry them again in time.
The right to purchase vacuum compression packaging bags was unlocked a long time ago. After winning the machine yesterday, Lu Xuan bought 10,000 bags, which was enough for the villagers to use for packing.
Lu Xuan didn't ask for much in usage fees, but to prevent the villagers from developing the habit of getting something for nothing, he charged a handling fee of one pound for every hundred pounds of food.
Vacuum compression is very efficient; in less than fifteen minutes, all the supplies for everyone were compressed.
The villagers were astonished to see the pile of vacuum-packed food in front of them.
"Wow, we actually managed to accumulate so many supplies these past few days?" someone murmured unconsciously.
Although the others didn't speak, the shock on their faces was no less evident.
Previously, they were only thinking about how much food they had spent on changing bio-suits and security doors. The supplies stored in their spatial rings were collected little by little, so they only remembered the quantity but had never actually seen what it looked like when they were all piled up together.
Looking at it now, I realize there are so many!
Yesterday, most families received over 100 jin (50 kg) of fruit. That's enough to fill 20 vacuum bags, each weighing 5 jin (2.5 kg) and requiring both arms to hold each bag.
The pile of fruit alone was already quite large, not to mention that each family had accumulated at least ten or twenty kilograms of meat, and dozens of kilograms of bones.
People are quite frugal with meat; a vacuum bag can hold only one pound of meat and one meat bone, and can still fill more than twenty bags.
In addition to fish, mushrooms, eggs... the supplies for a large family were piled up into a small mountain.
This is just what they gained in less than ten days in the mountains. I can't imagine how happy they would be if they stayed for several months and had more food than they could eat!
The villagers were as happy as if it were Chinese New Year, and the whole square was filled with joyful laughter.
While enjoying the spectacle, the audience couldn't help but remind Lu Xuan.
[Host, do you still want to achieve your million-dollar spending milestone? You've been thinking about it all day yesterday, still haven't decided what to buy?]
That's right! We're waiting to see you get your reward!
Lu Xuan: "Don't rush me, I'll buy it right away."
Yesterday, he really had no idea what to buy to reach the minimum order amount, but the village chief coming over to change his space reminded him.
As the village's supplies accumulate, Lu Xuan will receive even more, and he also needs to expand storage space.
He has a lot of points, so he doesn't need to gradually increase the capacity like the village chief. He can replace all the small spaces with the largest 1000 cubic meters all at once.
Replace the two 100-cubic-meter space rings!
I'm replacing the 100 cubic inch earrings I got from a blind box!
Replace all fifteen 100-cubic-meter space beads!
In total, there were 19 large spaces, and 570,000 points were spent in a flash.
The previous accumulated spending was over 300,000, and after adding 570,000, there is still a shortfall of over 60,000.
The villagers have plenty of supplies, and it's only a matter of time before everyone gets a bio-suit. Based on the number of villagers who haven't bought bio-suits yet, Lu Xuan decided to buy another seventy or so bio-suits per person.
Almost immediately after I placed the order and put away the bio-suit, system messages started flashing.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "See, the million-dollar bill is settled."
As he spoke, he opened the system messages.
[Achieve the 'Spend One Million Points' milestone and receive a box of Gene Enhancement Fluid and a 10% discount coupon. Next milestone: Spend Ten Million Points.]
"Gene Evolution Fluid?" Lu Xuan noticed the particularly eye-catching name at a glance.
[Gene Evolution Fluid: Can treat genetic diseases, enhance physical fitness, improve aptitude, and stimulate human potential; specific effects vary from person to person.]
Upon seeing this short line of introduction, Lu Xuan's pupils contracted and his heart began to race.
The audience had been watching his expression ever since he clicked on the system notification, and they were immediately elated when they noticed the change in his expression.
[Isn't that a pleasant surprise! Quite unexpected! The Gene Evolution Fluid is the most astonishing scientific research product of the Star Alliance in the last hundred years. After consuming the fluid, ordinary people who haven't yet awakened superpowers can get a second chance, with a chance to awaken them.]
Even without awakening any special abilities, their physical functions can be enhanced two to three times, comparable to a low-level physical enhancement-type ability user! Tell me, isn't that amazing?!
Lu Xuan tried to calm his rapidly beating heart and said slowly, "This really is... a good thing."
Although he was no longer in the apocalypse and his need to enhance his strength was no longer urgent, no one could resist the temptation of a treasure like the gene enhancement fluid, which was similar to the marrow cleansing pills often seen in cultivation novels.
He also understood why there were only two rewards this time, and no new features were unlocked.
The existence of the gene evolution fluid is enough to offset any reward.
Moreover, it's not just one as a reward, but a box of three.
Discount coupons are actually a good thing.
If you're buying a big-ticket item worth tens of millions, a 10% discount can save you millions.
From another perspective, isn't this also a way of saying that the Star Alliance directly gave him several million Star Coins?
The viewers in the live stream were also extremely excited.
Every time a dimensional streamer achieves this, I can't help but feel envious. This is the gene evolution fluid that countless Star Alliance citizens can't even get their hands on, and they're giving away three at once! Why am I not a dimensional streamer? I hate it!
[I'm so jealous! I want to awaken a superpower too! Even if it's just a useless one, I could earn at least 50% more, maybe even double, the salary of an ordinary person when I apply for a job! But the production is so low, I can't buy it, I really can't buy it, sob sob!]
Lu Xuan asked, "Can the evolution fluid only be taken by ordinary people? What special effects does it have on people with superpowers?"
[The physical enhancement effect applies to everyone, and those with abilities below level five have a 50% chance of directly leveling up!]
Lu Xuan: "Level 5 or above?"
[Those above level five are unlikely to advance further, but there is a certain possibility that their abilities will mutate, perhaps gaining new abilities, or their original abilities will become stronger.]
[Hurry up and drink it, host!]
[Yes, drink it quickly, or I'm going to crawl over the screen and snatch it for myself.]
Lu Xuan: You talk as if you can actually do it.
Lu Xuan was indeed a bit hot-headed at this moment, and impulsively took out a bottle of light gold evolution liquid to take, but suddenly stopped before opening it.
"Are there any side effects or reactions to taking the gene evolution fluid? Will I get an immediate boost in physical performance after drinking it?"
[Ah, I almost forgot if the streamer hadn't mentioned it. It seems there were indeed significant reactions after taking the evolution fluid.]
[Depending on individual constitution, reactions vary. Some people experience muscle aches all over their body for several hours to a day, but the pain is not unbearable, similar to the symptoms of a severe cold. Others may experience nausea and vomiting, with symptoms taking two to three days to completely subside.]
[The best approach is to simply fall into a deep sleep, and wake up after 1-3 days, by which time your body will have been thoroughly strengthened.]
Lu Xuan: "..." Why didn't you say something so important earlier?
He put the evolution fluid back without any expression.
[Is the streamer no longer drinking? Don't you want to get stronger?]
Lu Xuan put the gene evolution fluid into his spatial storage and said calmly, "I'm already quite strong, no rush."
Muscle pain or nausea and vomiting are nothing serious, but falling into a coma for two or three days without warning would probably scare your family and friends to death.
Live stream viewers: But we're in a hurry!
Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow: You guys are in such a hurry, what does it have to do with me?
Live stream viewers: !!!
