My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 266: Chapter 198: Can’t Hide It Anymore, Getting Engaged After the College Entrance Exam

Li Xiang played with the robotic dog for a bit before putting it away. It was a gift for Jiang Cai’Er, after all.

He spent his days in assiduous Cultivation at home, doing various farm chores and consuming Spirit Wine. He had added several new jars of Spirit Wine to the cellar. Once they were properly brewed, he would transfer the contents into a gourd and store it in his system’s inventory, ready to be taken out for a few swigs whenever needed.

As the immense Medicinal Power accumulated, his Spiritual Power Cultivation grew ever more profound.

If not for the technique he had previously learned from Luo Feifei for suppressing one’s Realm, Li Xiang would have likely lost control and advanced another level by now.

In the course of his Cultivation, he had a new epiphany, so he went to find Luo Feifei in the middle of the night to share it. This kind of Cultivation experience was difficult to explain over the phone, not to mention the risk of the call being compromised or monitored.

Communicating face-to-face allowed them to probe each other’s bodies with their Spiritual Power, giving the other person a tangible sense of how to circulate and suppress it.

Luo Feifei happened to have a new insight of her own. As the two of them exchanged ideas, they learned from each other’s strengths. One moment her Spiritual Power would enter his body, the next his Spiritual Power would enter hers. Through this, the technique for suppressing one’s Realm to build a stronger foundation became more and more mature, approaching perfection.

In truth, the Realm-suppressing technique they were researching was only suitable for the exceptionally talented.

If someone was already slow at cultivation, using this technique would be pointless. Their lifespan would end before they ever reached the Saint Tier.

Therefore, those with less talent still prioritized leveling up as quickly as possible, advancing whenever they could, terrified that they might not be able to advance even if they gave it their all.

Li Xiang, on the other hand, was not lacking in talent; he could be considered a genius. Secondly, he had a sufficient supply of Spiritual Medicine, piling it on endlessly. And third, as Luo Feifei had said, his constitution was somewhat special, seemingly able to contain more Spiritual Power by Nature.

Luo Feifei found herself admiring Li Xiang more and more. How on earth did he manage to cultivate his Spiritual Power to be so incredibly dense? She had never seen or even heard of such a solid foundation.

Li Xiang also gave Luo Feifei a heads-up that once his Extreme Speed reached 3 Mach, he would take her exploring in the great ocean. Luo Feifei was very much looking forward to it.

Because one of her Lifebound Superpowers was ”Water Escape,” the ocean was practically her home turf. She decided she would buy a bunch of pretty swimsuits in advance—at least forty or fifty of them, so she could wear a different one every day.

Aside from his diligent Cultivation at home and climbing through Luo Feifei’s window at night, Li Xiang also occasionally went on ”hunts” in Southeast Asia. As a result, a number of major mysterious cases had recently occurred there.

Smugglers, gang-related forces, and even official gold reserves were robbed. According to official statistics from Vietnam, a Mysterious Man had plundered a staggering 16 tons of gold within Vietnam alone. Many suspects were arrested, but none seemed to be the real culprit.

The situation was similar in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar.

The common folk didn’t care; they chatted about it with great interest. After all, the Mysterious Man wasn’t robbing them. It was those in high positions, the powerful and influential, who were trembling in fear. Many had begun transferring their assets to Europe and America.

Vietnam actually has something called sand gold. Jewelry made from it looks quite similar to real gold, all glittering and yellow. Moreover, sand gold jewelry doesn’t fade; it won’t change color or shape whether washed with water or burned by fire. However, the actual gold content in this sand gold is quite low, only about 5%, so Li Xiang naturally looked down on it.

He only plundered high-purity gold.

It wasn’t that much, only about 28 tons, worth a little under 20 billion. Compared to Mr. Xu’s two trillion, it was not worth mentioning.
