Forty-nine rules of the end times

Chapter 20 Glory-Level Treasure Chest

Guan Tong looked at the interface of his personal terminal and quickly understood what was going on.

"One way to increase the upper limit of mental power is to repeatedly drain mental power and restore mental power in this cycle."

Since gaining mental power, he has used it all up almost every day, using it up as soon as he recovers a little bit.

From the end of the first apocalyptic rule to the imminent end of the second rule, a total of 25 days, he did this every day.

While the increased cap is cause for celebration, the timeframe is simply too long…

"It's been almost a month of back-and-forth squeezing and recovery, and the upper limit has only increased by 1 point," Guan Tong sighed. "It's really exhausting."

However, regardless of the circumstances, an increase in the upper limit is a good thing.

He then seized the last bit of time and, with his newly purchased props, went up to the top floor around 8 a.m.

The so-called prop is actually just a small high-speed motor.

His previous record of 21 seconds was achieved using a boom mic, but the boom mic's rotation speed is far slower than that of a motor.

What Guan Tong had to do was turn on the motor and hang a thin wooden stick on it.

He merged his own "shadow" with the shadow of the thin wooden stick, adjusted the angle of the shadow, and then turned the motor to maximum power.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The motor was fully engaged, and the thin wooden stick on it spun rapidly, so fast that it left afterimages.

Its shadow moved between the buildings at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow. Before Guan Tong could even fully appreciate it, the data displayed in front of him showed that the challenge had been completed.

Current distance: 42195 meters, current time: 14 seconds

"He really broke through!"

Guan Tong looked at the data and smiled.

From 21 to 14, it was a full 7 seconds faster!
He felt that this data was sufficient, and there was no need to challenge himself to be faster.

Shortly after, at 9 o'clock sharp, the ten-day effective period of the second apocalyptic rule came to an end.

The rule period has ended.

Congratulations on passing the second test of the apocalyptic rule!

You advanced from the group to the final ranking with the highest score.

The final rankings are in, and the top three have been announced.

[First Place: Shadow, Time: 14 seconds]

[Second place: Lucifer, time 15 minutes and 56 seconds]

[Third Place: Yamata no Yukari, time 19 minutes 06 seconds]

Congratulations on achieving the world number one ranking with a challenge time of 14 seconds!

The final ranking rewards have been sent to your storage and can be viewed on your personal device.

[New feature enabled; viewable via personal terminal]

More products have been added to the Shenghua Store and can be viewed on your personal device.

The third apocalyptic rule will be released in thirty days.

At 9 o'clock sharp, the voice of the fire thief echoed in everyone's mind.

Countless people were stunned when they heard that Shadow had taken the world's number one spot with a time of 14 seconds.

The previously rumored 21 seconds was already outrageous enough, but it can go even further, it's simply incredible.

Compared to the first place, the second and third place winners, who were already quite formidable, seemed much more normal.

Although completing a full marathon in ten minutes is an unattainable feat for the vast majority of people...

However, more than focusing on the shadows, the public is more concerned about what new features the terminal has.

Furthermore, the Ascension Shop has been refreshed; you can check out what good items are available.

It would be impossible for Guan Tong not to be happy as she watched the title of "World's Number One" ultimately fall to her.

He immediately opened his personal terminal and found that the previous group had been automatically disbanded.

Current group members: 20000

[Number of completed rule challengers: 109]

This group has been disbanded.

"...Out of a group of 20,000 people, only a little over 100 completed the second rule challenge. The probability is really..."

Guan Tong believes this is directly related to the fact that the penalty for failure under this rule is not fatal. Since failing won't kill you, many people don't feel the pressure and adopt a laissez-faire attitude.

He opened the storage box, and inside was a treasure chest.

[Challenge Ranking Chest - Glory Level]: Open to receive random item rewards.

Glory-level treasure chest!
Guan Tong's eyes lit up. He remembered that after passing the first apocalyptic rule, the reward seemed to be only a bronze-level treasure chest.

This Glory level is now several levels higher than Bronze level... No wonder it's the world's number one reward.

"Turn on."

[Item Obtained: Gene Optimization Serum]

[Gene Optimization Solution]: After consumption, it can comprehensively optimize and repair gene defects.

"This……"

Guan Tong looked at the random items she had received and felt like she had won the lottery.

As you can tell from the instructions, drinking this stuff will at least enhance your physical abilities in all aspects, if not turn you into a superhero.
Guan Tong didn't think much and immediately chose to use it.

A small vial, containing a few tens of milliliters of liquid, appeared in his hand.

He unscrewed the cap and drank it directly.

"Gu dong gu dong."

This stock solution has no taste; it's almost like water.

But after drinking it, Guan Tong felt her whole body start to heat up within seconds.

Although it wasn't very painful, I felt like I had a high fever, and my consciousness became blurred in an instant.

Guan Tong wanted to go back to her room and lie on the bed, but as soon as she took a step, she collapsed in the living room with a "thud".

...loss of consciousness...

Guan Tong woke up groggily, not knowing how much time had passed.

He opened his eyes and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"3 PM? I've been dizzy for six hours..."

Guan Tong was surprised and quickly got up. At this moment, he discovered that his body had undergone many changes.

My first feeling was that I felt lighter, not just physically, but also mentally.

It's like formatting a phone that's been filled with memory; your thoughts become extremely clear and thorough.

He went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror, and even his appearance and figure had changed slightly.

It's not that I've become more handsome or taller; if I had to describe it, I'd say I've become more harmonious!

That's right, it's harmony.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Guan Tong wondered, "Are all these changes brought about by that bottle of gene optimization serum?"

He walked out of the bathroom and looked out the window.

Seeing it so clearly, Guan Tong subconsciously raised her hand to touch her eye socket.

"My eyesight is also..."

He used to be slightly nearsighted, but now his eyesight is incredibly good; he can even see the green plants on the balcony of the building across the street clearly.

Has this gene-optimized serum really changed that much?

Guan Tong immediately opened her personal terminal to check.

Name: Guan Tong

Nickname: Shadow

Title: Lawkeeper

[Mental Power: 114]

[Ascended Coins: 100]

Overall Bioinformatics Evaluation: Excellent

really!

Guan Tong was overjoyed. The changes brought about by the gene serum were most directly reflected in the increase in the upper limit of his mental power!
The original upper limit of 97 has now been increased to 114!

You should know that even after squeezing every last drop, the price only increased by 1 point!
Moreover, once he broke through 100, his overall bioinformatics evaluation changed from "average" to "excellent".
