Deduct 1 for merit. I am really not a child of luck.

Chapter 13: Spiritual Root Limit? Make money!

A few minutes later……

After much persuasion, Lin Mo, who had just cut down 8 yuan, sat down at the small table behind the barbecue stall. He reached out and grabbed a string of grilled sausages from in front of Chu Wange, put it in his mouth and took a bite viciously.

Seeing Chu Wange sitting opposite him looking at him curiously, Lin Mo said unhappily:
"What are you looking at? Can't I eat a few skewers with the money I gave you?"

Chu Wange shook his head, stretched out his hand and pushed the barbecue plate in front of him to the middle of the table, and said:

"you eat."

Lin Mo naturally didn't say anything polite. He was already hungry and was very angry with the barbecue owner. Now he felt upset.

He grabbed several skewers of beef in great hunger and stuffed them into his mouth.

Chu Wange on the opposite side seemed much more elegant, but his speed was also quite fast.

She reached out to grab the skewers extremely quickly, and before Lin Mo could even see their shadow, she had already stuffed the meat into her mouth.

The two of them just buried their heads in their food, ignoring each other, and the middle-aged boss of the barbecue restaurant behind them shook his head:
Young man, it’s useless even if I give you opportunities!
He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chu Wange's face, which looked so pretty even when she was being treated like a prostitute, and muttered in his heart:
"If I were 20 years younger, what would you do to me? It's a pity that such a beautiful girl is going to be taken away by a pig."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but touch his lower back:

"I wonder if that tigress at home has finished playing mahjong. I'd better go home later today..."

The barbecue which cost about a hundred yuan was not much, and Lin Mo and Chu Wange ate it incredibly quickly, so the food on the table was cleared up in a few minutes.

"You charged me a hundred dollars for this barbecue. Prices in the city are too expensive now!"

Lin Mo touched his three-quarters full stomach and complained in a low voice.

The prices in the provincial capital are too high, which is why he doesn't bring money when he goes out. After all, his monthly living expenses are limited.

Fortunately, he picked up the hundred dollars today, otherwise he would be heartbroken.

"Oh, it's almost two o'clock."

Lin Mo glanced at the time, immediately stood up from the table, and ran towards the community in a hurry without even saying hello.

Your uncle is your uncle. If he says he will go to bed at 2 o'clock, he will never wait until 2:01.

Although Lin Mo had never returned to the community after 2 o'clock, he heard that a couple went out for a midnight snack and accidentally exceeded the old man's "business hours". As a result, they were forced to stay outside in the wind for most of the night and did not return to the community until the next morning.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.

Chu Wange wiped his mouth unhurriedly and watched Lin Mo disappear from his sight with his heroic eyes.

Then, she turned her head and looked at the bamboo basket next to the middle-aged boss, her expression thoughtful...

……

……

The next day at nine o'clock in the evening, in the ordinary practice room of Nanshan No. 4 Middle School.

"No! The highest rate can only be 39%?"

Lin Mo looked at the message [Unable to invest merit points temporarily] and fell into silence for a long time.

Good news: In less than two days, a total of 1700 merit points were consumed, and the purity ratio of the golden spiritual root increased from the original 22% to 39%.

The bad news: it can only be increased to 39%.

For a moment, he didn't know what expression to make and stared at the panel in deep thought.

In fact, it is still cost-effective. The investment of 1700 merit points increased his cultivation speed by 3.4%.

If the purity ratio of other spiritual roots is also increased to 39%, then the final cultivation speed will be nearly twice as fast as before!

Of course, the experience points gained by investing in merit will be saved by nearly half compared to before.

This is the so-called doing twice the result with half the effort.

Lin Mo was meditating in the spiritual energy training room today, and he could clearly feel that the speed of the internal energy techniques running was much faster than before.

"Just because I've found a little bit of genius, I can't become a genius anymore?"

He complained to himself, and his mood was not as bad as he had imagined.

Even if the five elements spiritual roots can be improved to 100% purity, they are still the five elements spiritual roots.

Not to mention comparing with geniuses with a single spiritual root, which one of those with double or triple spiritual roots wouldn't be better than him?
But as long as merit can increase experience points, these gaps will no longer exist...

Lin Mo quickly accepted this reality, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart:

"I wonder if Chu Wange is single or double?"

He glanced at the 10 points of merit remaining after charging his gold spiritual root on the panel, and his slightly sore fingers hardened again. He bent them slightly, then straightened them.

【merit +1】

Not enough, not enough, I need more merit points!
Lin Mo once again made up his mind to postpone his bedtime by two hours tonight.

I’ve decided. I’m going to kill Ye Chen, Chu Wange, and all the geniuses in the cultivation world!

He thought with confidence.

……

In the evening, near the pavilion in Shahe Park.

"Hey!"

"what!"

"Ouch!"

"..."

The powerful sound of force, accompanied by the steady footsteps of the elderly, continued to echo along the riverside.

Lin Mo also followed in most of the footsteps, practicing the Kuixing Posture tirelessly.

An old man who was resting nearby stretched and gave some thoughtful instructions:

"Standing still requires a straight body, a relaxed body, a hollow posture, a round mind, and a smooth Qi... Young man, don't make your body so tense, don't move your body around. I'm talking about that little finger, why are you moving around? Are you having a seizure..."

Lin Mo practiced the exercises over and over again, and the enthusiastic old man gave him instructions over and over again, never getting tired of it.

It made him want to tell the old man: You know shit, this is not how our teachers in school teach!

But he took another look at the old man's muscular body and perfect aura, and felt that the man should be able to kill two of him with one punch.

So, he chose to shut his mouth.

Fortunately, the old man didn't nag to the end, and was forcibly pulled away by the old lady who had finished stretching. Only then was his ears freed.

He breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had any intention of walking around.

I had originally planned to walk until almost two in the morning, but I didn't want to move anymore after just a short while.

Lin Mo rubbed his temples, he had a headache!
I only slept for more than 4 hours for two consecutive nights, which was a bit too much for this young and sleepy body.

"Why don't we go back home and go to bed early tonight and get up early tomorrow..."

Just as he had this thought, a reminder suddenly came to his ears:

[Merit accumulated to 1000 points, luck value: 1]

[Luck value: 2]

"Sleep a bitch, roll up!"

Lin Mo's headache suddenly got better. In an instant, his waist and legs were no longer sore. He started to set up the pole frame again and walked over and over again.

"Hey! Ha! Hoo!"

The powerful shout blended perfectly with the voices of the surrounding uncles and aunts.

The same was true for Lin Mo's body shape. He didn't need to gain experience points for his stance and seemed to be becoming more and more proficient.

He kept going like this from about 11pm at night until the alarm rang at almost 1am in the morning.

He slowly stopped only when he was sweating all over and his clothes were soaked with sweat again.

[Walking the pile twenty-one times, proficiency +0.21]

System prompts float across the interface.

Lin Mo pursed his lips and simply chose to ignore it.

The purpose of practicing standing meditation is to eliminate sleepiness and exercise the body. If you continue to deduct 1, it is not for increasing proficiency, so why watch it?
He stretched his sore arms and stretched his long legs forward to stretch, when suddenly a flash of bright red flashed across his eyes, followed by a slight "click" sound.

He subconsciously looked down and saw two bright red hundred-dollar bills right on the soles of his feet.

"Swipe, swipe the money?"

His eyes were a little stunned.
