Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 126: Chapter 117: The Secrets of Spells

After finishing the custom clothes, it was already three or four in the afternoon.

Lu Li, with the Flaming Babe, followed Qin Liang to Tan Palace.

In front of the garage.

Qin Liang pointed to a row of cars inside and said, ”Mr. Lu, how about this Cullinan? If you’re not satisfied, you can take any car you fancy from the garage.”

Lu Li looked in the direction indicated, ”Let me have a look.”

The garage housed many luxury cars, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Koenigsegg, McLaren, and almost any imaginable luxury car brand was here.

The Flaming Babe stood outside, secretly amazed. She couldn’t help but glance at Lu Li’s profile.

Clearly, she hadn’t expected Lu Li’s friend to be so wealthy.

Lu Li was quite envious of those luxury cars, especially the Koenigsegg; it was incredibly stylish.

However, such luxury cars can’t be taken lightly, or you’d owe a significant favor.

He ultimately set his eyes on the almost brand-new Cullinan.

This was the latest Black Badge model, with a new car price possibly exceeding seven million.

Lu Li said, ”Let’s go with the Cullinan.”

Qin Liang hurriedly said, ”Okay, I’ll have someone bring the car keys over so you can try it out. If it doesn’t suit you, you can try other cars.”

Lu Li agreed.

Soon after, Qin Liang had a caretaker go upstairs to fetch the car keys.

He opened the car door.

Lu Li sat in the driver’s seat and found the car had only driven two kilometers.

As expected, after purchasing, Qin Liang probably only took it for a test drive.

This was understandable, as Qin Liang originally had a driver, so collecting numerous luxury cars was likely just a hobby.

Lu Li briefly assessed the car’s interior configuration.

This car was equipped with numerous tech features, including night vision and view assistance systems, alarm assistance systems, a four-camera panoramic monitoring system, all-around visibility and panoramic aerial view, active cruise control system, collision alert, intersection warning, lane departure and lane change warning, leading 7x3 high-resolution head-up display, and of course, the latest navigation and entertainment system.

The seats were made of genuine leather with a simple yet modern horseshoe pattern, offering great comfort.

Lu Li also found a small refrigerator inside the car, which, though only accommodating champagne and red wine, added a touch of elegance.

”Now this is a true luxury car!”

He couldn’t help but reflect inwardly.

Start the car and experience how it drives.

Lu Li slowly drove the car out from the garage, heading towards the main road.

Driving this car felt exceptionally comfortable, despite its two to three ton weight, it didn’t feel bulky at all.

It’s not exactly nimble but very relaxed and stable.

Even with a slight increase in speed over a speed bump, it didn’t feel jarring.

Most importantly, sitting in the driver’s seat, Lu Li didn’t feel cramped as in a Porsche 911.

After test-driving for three or four kilometers, he returned satisfied.

Back at Tan Palace.

Qin Liang and the Flaming Babe were sitting under a sun umbrella drinking juice.

Lu Li parked the car on the driveway and looked at them, ”This car is great, should I transfer the payment to you?”

Qin Liang immediately put down his glass and stood up smiling, ”No rush, I see it’s getting late. I’ve invited a chef over to prepare dinner. Would you and Miss Li like to stay for dinner?”

Lu Li agreed, ”Alright.”

Qin Liang added, ”If you find the Cullinan comfortable, feel free to drive it away later. As for your Porsche 911, I’ll have someone send it back to Su City for you.”

Having just felt the charm of the Cullinan, Lu Li hardly wanted to drive a sports car anymore, ”Sure, thanks for the trouble.”

Returned the car to the garage.

Stayed for dinner.

It wasn’t until eight or nine at night that Lu Li and the Flaming Babe bid farewell to Qin Liang.

...

Back at the hotel.

Lu Li and the Flaming Babe carried large bags into the room.

Earlier, the Flaming Babe had opened a new room downstairs.

Yesterday, due to special circumstances, there were no rooms available at the hotel and she wasn’t feeling well, so they shared a room.

Today there was time, and with rooms available, they naturally wouldn’t share a room anymore.

”Phew, I’m exhausted.” The Flaming Babe first put down the shopping bags, then used her uninjured left hand to fan herself, ”I feel sticky all over. I need a hot shower first.”

Lu Li was contemplating matters about the Little Golden Man at that moment.

He didn’t pay attention to the Flaming Babe’s specific remarks.

Absent-mindedly he replied, ”Hmm, alright.”

The Flaming Babe didn’t say anything more and turned to leave the room.

Click, the door closed audibly.

Lu Li still didn’t notice, as he was observing the upgrade status of the Little Golden Man.

Having spent the afternoon without having the chance to see if the Little Golden Man had absorbed energy rays to upgrade.

After today’s trip to the City God Temple, he was aware the Little Golden Man was the core of his continuous evolution, so he was very focused on it.

Lu Li found that when he allowed the Little Golden Man to return to the Mud Ball Palace, his body seemed to have stopped evolving.

Well, not exactly stopped evolving.

In any case, the energy rays were only converging towards his head, instead of permeating throughout the body as before.

”Does this mean the Little Golden Man must be positioned in the abdomen for me to evolve continuously throughout?”

Lu Li continuously sensed his body’s state, ”Currently, the energy rays are concentrated in my head, and it seems not only is the Little Golden Man upgrading, but the head seems to be evolving too.”

That feeling of evolution, he could easily perceive and thus discover it immediately.

The head is evolving?

Could his spiritual power become stronger as a result?

Or perhaps, could his thinking, memory, etc., become enhanced?

Evolution has been ongoing, and if spiritual power, thinking ability, and memory have been enhanced, it should be evident by now.

Lu Li decided to try each one out.

First, he would test his spiritual power.

Previously, when he tested his spiritual power, he could barely levitate half a brick, about 1.3 kilograms or so.

But that was several days ago. Today, Lu Li found he could easily maneuver ten ice cones, clearly indicating he could now levitate more than 1.3 kilograms.

He looked around the room and noticed a few wooden chairs next to the table.

Lu Li went forward to weigh them.

He estimated the weight of a single wooden chair to be around five kilograms.

He immediately focused his spiritual power and tried to lift the chair.

The next moment, the chair slowly floated into the air.

However, Lu Li felt it was quite a struggle, and he couldn’t control it effortlessly.

He put the chair back and stood there, pondering, ”Based on past experience, I can move five kilograms, so the weight I can handle with ease should be around 2.5 kilograms.”

Calculating from this weight, my current spiritual power is much stronger than it was at noon.

Lu Li thought to himself, ”By this calculation, upgrading the Little Golden Man does indeed help in the growth of spiritual power.”

Furthermore, he confirmed one thing: the strength of spiritual power might not be closely related to the body’s evolution but rather to the ”intensity” of the Little Golden Man.

This made Lu Li quite expectant. Currently, he could manipulate objects weighing around five kilograms. What level would his spiritual power reach once the Little Golden Man was fully upgraded?

Would he be able to levitate objects weighing more than ten kilograms?

If that were possible, his ability to control objects would likely reach speeds over 2000 kilometers per hour, i.e., supersonic speed.

By then, the power unleashed when controlling objects to move at high speeds and strike targets could be comparable to that of small bombs, right?

”Let’s see how far my spiritual power can extend.”

Lu Li fully unleashed his spiritual power, releasing it outwards from the hotel.

When at maximum power, he found he could manipulate tree branches five to six hundred meters away.

It’s important to note that the spiritual power’s coverage is not a linear range; it spreads outwards in all directions from his body as the center.

What does a range of five to six hundred meters signify?

It indicates that his damage range extends over 1.1 million square meters.

Well, over a million square meters sounds like a lot, but actually, it’s only about 1.1 square kilometers.

In other words, his spiritual power could now cover a small village, and the range was fairly broad.

This damage range is undoubtedly terrifying. Lu Li felt he could use his spiritual power to freeze the water molecules inside a person’s body at will, silently taking their life.

This method of killing is almost like killing without a trace.

Thinking of this, Lu Li glanced toward the suite downstairs and pondered, ”Xiaolin and Wang Yu should thank Liu Xiuming. Otherwise, the special department might have offended me greatly, and I could make Xiaolin disappear without a trace.”

As for Wang Yu, he was an old classmate, so as long as he didn’t greatly offend him, Lu Li wouldn’t do anything to him.

Moreover, Wang Yu previously tipped him off secretly.

Lu Li knew Wang Yu was forced by circumstances, so even if something happened, he wouldn’t take Wang Yu’s life.

Now that he had tested the strength of his spiritual power, it was time to test his thinking and memory.

He hadn’t thought of a way to test thinking yet, but testing memory was easy.

Lu Li randomly found a five to six hundred-word news article online and scanned through it, then closed his eyes to recall.

The next moment, a ”three-dimensional image” appeared in his mind.

The scene he just saw on the screen appeared in his mind, with every word and punctuation mark clearly visible.

It was as if he had acquired the skill of photographic memory!

Lu Li was amazed, ”Has my memory improved so much?”

Previously, when he was having a meal with Liu Kexin, he even forgot where she said she lived. But now he had photographic memory?

Of course, last time he wasn’t paying attention, so it was natural to forget.

But being able to remember every word and punctuation mark from the news was truly astonishing!

”Memory typically fades over time. Currently being able to remember everything doesn’t guarantee the same will be true tomorrow.”

Lu Li planned to recall this article again when he woke up in the morning.

If he could still remember it as he did now, that would mean he truly had photographic memory.

If not, then he didn’t.

After testing everything that needed testing,

Lu Li began pondering how he could use his spiritual power to create flames, lightning, and other ”supernatural abilities.”

He searched online for principles; electricity seemed temporarily challenging.

As for flames, they seemed relatively easy.

The principle of flame generation involves the chemical reaction and physical phenomena of material combustion.

The reason for producing flames is simply a form of exothermic reaction during material combustion.

Simply put, as long as Lu Li heats and accelerates the movement of the surrounding air, these rapidly moving molecules crashing into other air molecules and causing them to accelerate as well would create airflow and flames.

”Give it a try.”

Lu Li used his spiritual power to manipulate molecules.

Before long, a large number of molecules generated heat from intense movement and collisions, forming airflow and sparks.

Lu Li increased his spiritual power control.

Immediately, he lifted his hand, and a palm-sized flame appeared in his palm.

”As I suspected, spells are actually possible as long as I know enough about physics and chemistry, and I can create them using spiritual power.”

This affirmed Lu Li’s previous conjecture, that as long as his spiritual power was strong enough, it would not be a problem to create nuclear reactions.

He contemplated there for a good while.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang: ding dong, ding dong.

Lu Li stopped his thoughts and went to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the fiery babe in a white nightgown standing in front of him.

The fiery babe seemed to have just finished her shower, like a freshly bloomed lotus.

She blinked her eyes, ”Brother Lu, I can’t sleep. Can I have a chat with you?”
