Chapter 10: Basic Power Evolution, Regent Hotel Attack
Stationery store, second floor.

While feeling the growing basic force in his body, Chu Ke followed the video blogger to learn how to cook.

Fifteen days had passed since he gained basic strength, and the total amount of basic strength had reached 16k.

The specific value is 16384. It seems that the number of digits began to expand, and the Nixie tube timer began to use the unit counting method to reduce the number of displayed digits.

When the total amount reaches 1w, the basic force undergoes a huge evolution – at this time the basic force can perform [matter exchange].

Simply put, before this, any item Chu Ke needed to make required substances of equal mass as “raw materials” for conversion, and the most commonly used by Chu Ke was gas molecules.

Now, if Chu Ke needs to make anything, he only needs to use the basic force directly to transform matter out of thin air, and he can also transform matter into basic force.

This means that as long as Chu Ke is willing, he can directly “sacrifice” a universe at any time to make his basic force reach the cosmic level, or even continue upward.

Things like opening a portal are even easier.

“It’s becoming more and more invincible.” Chu Ke sighed, feeling more confused as to which direction to work towards, just like someone who has just been admitted to university and is at a loss as to what to do.

“The truth is to have fun and eat.” The principle that Chu Ke has always followed is “try your best, and if it doesn’t work, give up.” If you can’t find it, don’t look for it. The important thing is to focus on the present.

After the dish was ready, I tasted it and it was surprisingly good.

Chu Ke had not originally planned to cook, but the street outside his own gate started to open a night market at night. There were all kinds of barbecue snack stalls, and the smell of the aroma made the glutton in his stomach rise immediately.

After putting the dishes on the table, Chu Ke took a look and felt like something was missing.

Oh, and fried skewers.

Not using basic force to synthesize the food he eats is the bottom line of Chu Ke’s sense of ritual in life. He immediately decided to go out and buy a few skewers, and pair them with some iced cola and Sprite, and a night calorie bomb would be ready.

Going downstairs, just as Chu Ke was about to go out, he met a foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, and chest muscles like a bodybuilder.

The only sense of incongruity was that the large number of skewers in his hands were still sizzling with oil.

Chu Ke raised his eyebrows and began to assess his basic strength.

On the other side, Caesar walked into the stationery store carrying skewers.

He finally understood why visiting the night market is linked to losing weight, because the aroma of various delicacies is everywhere, making it hard for people not to have a taste.

Originally, he wanted to finish his meal at the stall, after all, carrying a bunch of skewers around was a bit inconsistent with his temperament.

But seeing that everyone around him was doing the same, Caesar had no choice but to follow the local customs.

When he passed by this stationery store, he was attracted by the two heart-shaped gems in the window.

When you go out shopping, you must bring some gifts back. Even if it’s something that Nono doesn’t want to eat, you can just pick some small accessories.

Although they may be fake, such small fake accessories that fit the atmosphere of the night market are also a kind of sentiment. It doesn’t matter whether they are real gems or not, since you can afford any of them anyway.

“Looks like I’m lucky.” Caesar smiled at the store manager who seemed to be going out, “It won’t take too long. Do you have a purple heart-shaped necklace like the one in the window? Just give me one.”

The gems in the window only come in two colors: yellow and blue. Caesar thinks purple is more suitable for Nono.

Zuko smiled cheerfully.

The road to heaven is wrong, and it seems wrong not to accept the toast. Anyway, you have brought it to heaven yourself, so don’t regret it, hehe.

“Sorry, this is not for sale. It only comes in these two colors.” Chu Ke said apologetically, “But we are destined to be together now. You also said that you are lucky, so this yellow crystal necklace is for you.”

Caesar was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed and said, “Is this what the Chinese call fate? Then I will buy another pen.”

Zuko nodded, wrapped up the necklace and pen together and handed them to him: “Welcome to visit next time!”

After Caesar left, Chu Ke looked at the pile of red banknotes on the corner of the table, about ten thousand in total.

This was something Caesar had secretly left behind, probably the money he had paid on the assumption that the gem was real. Was it Caesar’s strange sense of pride?
Zuko shook his head and went out to buy skewers.

“There is still one thing missing. If the mountain can’t see me, I will go to see the mountain.” Before leaving, Chu Ke looked at the lonely blue gemstone necklace in the window.

The next day, at the Regent Hotel.

After spending a night doing oral English training with his friend in the United States, Lu Mingfei loosened his collar to make himself look better.

The location of this interview was extremely luxurious, which also put more pressure on Lu Mingfei.

This pressure became even heavier after the lightning-fast interviews with Zhao Menghua, Chen Wenwen and even Su Xiaoqiang.

It seemed that they had no intention of letting anyone pass. None of the interviewers before Lu Mingfei lasted more than three minutes. The hot-tempered little angel even started cursing on the spot after coming out.

“Next, Lu Mingfei.” The voice of the summon reminded Lu Mingfei of the machine that called out numbers in the hospital, making him feel a little depressed.

Before entering, Lu Mingfei gently grasped the necklace on his chest, then let go and pushed the door open.

There is never a shortage of people who are good at one subject but not others in a school. During exams, they will relax only when they do well in that subject, as if they have gained confidence.

The same goes for Lu Mingfei. Only this magical necklace can give him comfort when he is under pressure.

When I entered the conference room, it was empty. There were only two people sitting at the large conference table that could seat dozens of people. They were wearing dark green suits with patterns embroidered on their chests with silver thread. They should be school uniforms.

A boy and a girl. The girl had fiery red hair and silver four-leaf clover earrings on her ears. She was incredibly beautiful. The boy had golden hair and muscles that held up his school uniform like a bodybuilder. He was also extremely handsome.

They look like a perfect match.

Well, I probably won’t pass the interview because this school only accepts handsome guys and beautiful girls.

Lu Mingfei was so sure.

Wait a minute! Lu Mingfei glanced at the blond man and was suddenly attracted by an object in his hand.

It was a yellow heart-shaped gem necklace that was exactly the same style as the one hanging around his neck. The long and thin necklace was divided into two circles and hung on the wrist as a bracelet. Only a little bit was exposed under the cover of the school uniform, but Lu Mingfei could still see it clearly.

He is also a magical girl! ?

Although Lu Mingfei really wanted to complain about why all magical girls are boys, he held back because of the occasion.

He couldn’t quite imagine what this bodybuilder-like man would look like after his transformation.

“Hello Lu Mingfei, my name is Chen Motong, and I’m the examiner for this interview.” The red-haired girl introduced herself and looked at Lu Mingfei slowly.

“Hello, I’m César Gattuso, the deputy examiner for the interview.” The blond man also gave him a kind smile, but the look in his eyes was inexplicably gay?

No, stay away from this kind of thing!

“Hello examiners, my name is Lu Mingfei.” Lu Mingfei had originally prepared for the interview in English, but when he saw that the examiners were all speaking Chinese, he switched back to Chinese to introduce himself.

“Well, first question.” Nono clenched his fist and put it against his face, pressing his index finger on his temple, supporting his head like this: “Do you believe that there are aliens in this world?”

Hearing this question, Lu Mingfei’s cerebellum shrank for a moment, but he quickly realized that this should be a test of the candidates’ ability to respond on the spot.

“Believe it, I believe in aliens.” Just kidding, I’m still a magical girl, Lu Mingfei won’t be surprised even if there are aliens.

“Why do you believe it?” Nuo Nuo looked up at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth and was about to answer when there was a sudden loud noise outside the door.

Caesar and Nono were also stunned for a moment. The next moment, Caesar picked up the intercom under the table and asked, “Excuse me, what happened?”

There was a piercing sound from the other end of the intercom, and a terrified male voice came out: “Monster! A scaly monster!”
