I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!

What Su Yu saw was an item called "Rejuvenation Pill," worth one hundred points.

This item has no other effect than to make the player who uses it one year younger.

According to the description of the "Youth Restoration Pill", this item has a different effect than plastic surgery; it is a true elixir that can restore the player's body to youth.

It should be noted that Su Yu is already twenty-three years old this year. Although he is in his prime and certainly not old, his nerve reaction speed is declining rapidly.

For many professions that rely on reaction speed, such as e-sports players, the best age is often sixteen, while twenty-three is the end of their peak.

With that in mind, Su Yu used a black iron seed to exchange for a "Rejuvenation Pill".

Thinking to himself that it wasn't poison and wouldn't kill him, Su Yu steeled his heart and stuffed the "Rejuvenation Pill" into his mouth.

The size of the "Rejuvenation Pill" is about the same as that of common pills on the market, or even slightly smaller.

Without much effort, Su Yu swallowed the "Rejuvenation Pill." After waiting a while and noticing no obvious changes in his body, he used his spatial wristwatch to check his attribute panel again.

"Hey, it actually works! By the way, Red Cube, why did you put such a useful item in the entertainment item category?"

After paying with six more black iron seeds, Su Yu bought the same number of "Rejuvenation Pills" in one go.

"This is an entertainment item, especially something like this, which only women would pay special attention to. Although you're not the first player to discover its clever use, you are the first player to find this Easter egg right after entering the Cube Space and experiencing a survival killing game. The Red Cube is surprised by this and applauds you!"

The red Rubik's Cube shook a few times, and then a burst of enthusiastic applause came from inside the cube.

"Give me something concrete!"

Su Yu rolled her eyes at the manager, saying this, but she didn't feel any dissatisfaction in her heart.

After all, he had a pretty good impression of this manager.

She might seem a bit like a nanny, but every word she says can save me from taking a wrong turn.

In addition to keeping his secrets, if we consider the Red Cube as a leader in the real world, then this leader is quite good.

"You're too greedy. You want all the rewards. If we give you the rewards now, it's not fair to the other players."

The red cube rejected Su Yu's request without even thinking.

Hearing what the red Rubik's Cube said, Su Yu did not refute it.

Su Yu took out a bottle of mineral water from the spatial watch on his wrist and unscrewed the cap.

After swallowing six "Rejuvenation Pills" in one gulp and taking a big gulp of water, Su Yu swallowed all six "Rejuvenation Pills" into his stomach.

"Hmm..."

Feeling the warm current flowing from his stomach into his limbs and bones in a short time, Su Yu let out a soft moan.

Su Yu then took out a mirror from his spatial watch and examined himself in the mirror.

Compared to before, he does look much younger now, he's a bit thinner, and his skin is much fairer and smoother.

"Oh......"

With a soft chuckle, Su Yu tossed the mirror back into his spatial watch.

Whether it's mineral water or a mirror, these are all items that Mao Xingzhou previously stored in his spatial watch.

While sorting through his spoils, Su Yu naturally noticed these things, but he didn't pay them any attention.

To put it bluntly, these things are useful in some ways and useless in others.

As long as you're willing to spend the money, setting up a warehouse in the real world isn't difficult at all.

Su Yu was also thinking that after leaving the Rubik's Cube space and returning to the real world, he would take some time to throw away all the junk in his space watch.

Upon reopening the personal attributes panel, Su Yu noticed that the basic data on the panel had undergone some changes.

[Strength: 120*3 (Protective Suit)]

【Intelligence: 115】

Stamina: 116 * 3 (protective suit)

【Spirit: 194】

[Speed: 92*3 (protective suit)]

[Neural reaction speed: 188]

[Special Ability: Sevenfold Spiral (UR Rank)]

[Sub-ability: Summon Valkyrie (SR)]

Intelligence remained unchanged, strength, physical ability, and speed decreased, but mental and neurological reaction speed improved.

In particular, the neural reaction speed has surged from 136 to 188.

Compared to the improvement in nerve reaction speed, the loss of eight points of strength, six points of stamina, and two points of speed is nothing at all!

"call......"

Letting out a long breath, Su Yu began to look through the weapons and equipment on the Rubik's Cube Space item list.

He currently has over 3,700 points, one Star Seed, five Silver Seeds, and six Iron Seeds.

Su Yu doesn't plan to touch the Black Iron Seeds. He wants to keep them for when he enters the game, just in case.

"Grade B Nano Protective Suit increases a player's physical attributes by five times, priced at 1500 points; Grade A Unicorn Protective Suit increases a player's physical attributes by ten times, priced at 3500 points; Grade S Firefly Protective Suit increases a player's physical attributes by twenty times, priced at 9000 points; Grade SS Tyrannosaurus Protective Suit increases a player's physical attributes by thirty times, priced at 20000 points; Grade SSS Black Tortoise Protective Suit increases a player's physical attributes by fifty times, priced at 35000 points."

"Holy crap, this is ridiculously expensive! A red Rubik's Cube? Are you a black market dealer?"

"No, you're a black market dealer! Ten thousand points are enough to leave the Magic Cube Space, yet you managed to produce equipment worth thirty-five thousand points, and it's just a protective suit!"

Su Yu broke out in a cold sweat as he read on. The more he read, the more insignificant he felt.

Let alone the SSS-grade Xuanwu Protective Suit, even the S-grade Firefly Protective Suit is something most players wouldn't be willing to buy.

The reason is simple: buying a firefly protective suit costs nine thousand points. If they save another thousand points, they can leave the Magic Cube Space and never participate in the survival killing game again. Why waste their precious points on this?

"The Red Cube is expensive for a reason. Just think about it: even a newbie, wearing an SSS-level Xuanwu protective suit, would have their physical abilities increased fiftyfold. Without considering combat experience or special abilities, they could easily crush you right now. You know, the Cube Space isn't short of lunatics or people who are utterly disillusioned with reality. They enjoy everything this place offers, not just the wealth, but also the endless path to becoming stronger and the feeling of controlling other people's destinies..."

The Red Cube's words are cruel and bloody, but they are the truth.

"Give me a Grade A Unicorn Protective Suit."

Su Yu gritted his teeth. He couldn't afford the S-grade Firefly Protective Suit, but the A-grade Unicorn Protective Suit, with its tenfold increase in physical attributes, was also very tempting!

Most importantly, the Unicorn Protective Suit can make you immune to damage from items below Grade A.

Chen Bin and An Qiluo were both wearing unicorn protective suits, while Chu Tianyang and Fu Xueying were wearing nano protective suits.

Su Yu wanted to narrow the gap between herself and Chen Bin, but she also wanted to be wary of Chu Tianyang's possible retaliation at any time.

In this situation, he would have no choice but to buy a unicorn suit to save his life.

After paying one Star Seed, five Silver Seeds, and 1,000 points, Su Yu successfully obtained the Unicorn Protective Suit he had always dreamed of.

Eager to put on the protective suit, Su Yu threw away his original clothes, including the new recruit's protective suit, with a look of disgust.

"There are still over 2,700 points and six Black Iron Seeds."

Su Yu thought for a moment and then exchanged for proficiency in languages, driving, hand-to-hand combat, weapon combat, and firearms, spending two hundred points on each skill.

His linguistic proficiency allows him to master all the world's languages, his driving proficiency allows him to operate any vehicle, his unarmed combat proficiency and weapon combat proficiency allow him to become a kung fu master, and his proficiency in firearms allows him to become an all-around elite soldier.

These are essential for surviving in the Rubik's Cube space, and Su Yu knows this better than anyone else.

Relying on the ample weaponry and short weapon that Mao Xingzhou had provided for him, Su Yu spent another 1,500 points to buy a long weapon, a B-grade Tang sword without a handguard called "White Rainbow".

According to the description, this Tang sword can ignore protective clothing below Grade B, and even Grade B protective clothing can cause some damage.

"Alright, that's settled then."

Su Yu sighed. He now only had a little over two hundred points left, plus six black iron seeds.

Before buying, he thought he was a rich man. He saw others working themselves to the bone and getting all they had, but their wealth was not even half of his.

After making the purchase, his pockets were emptier than his face. It truly lived up to the old saying: "He came penniless and left penniless, waving his sleeves without taking a single cloud with him."

After storing everything in his spatial watch, Su Yu requested a teleportation from the red cube and successfully returned to the real world.

"hiss......"

Once his vision returned, Su Yu took a deep breath.

This is the taste of peace!

Having lived in the Water Bear City, which was hit by a biohazard outbreak, for over ten days, surrounded by zombies and filled with the stench of decay and gunpowder, Su Yu was still finding it hard to adjust to returning to the real world.

Simply put, it gives you a feeling of being in another world!

Looking around and confirming that he had been teleported to an empty alley, Su Yu tried to take out a few banknotes from his spatial watch.

It wasn't until the banknotes appeared in his hand, and he held the hundred-yuan bill tightly, that Su Yu was certain that everything he had experienced before was not an incredibly real dream.

"Oh shit."

The thought of having to participate in a new survival killing game in ten days made Su Yu feel suffocated.

He had had enough of Chen Bin and Chu Tianyang's sour faces, and he had no desire to risk his life for his future.

But what's coming will come; running away isn't the solution.

"Go back to my rented apartment to tidy up, and then go back to my hometown."

This is what Su Yu wants to do most right now. It's not that he's cowardly or afraid of trouble, thinking he can just get by day by day.

Rather, he felt he wasn't 100% confident he would survive the next survival killing game.

Even if there was only a one percent chance of death, he wanted to make sure his affairs were settled after his death.

Thinking of his elderly parents at home, and then of the two or three million yuan he had stolen from Mao Xingzhou in his spatial watch, Su Yu felt it would be safer to give the money and gold and silver jewelry to his parents.

In case—he meant in case—he died in the next round of the survival killing game, his parents would still have something to rely on for the rest of their lives.

Without further ado, Su Yu found a trash can, threw away all the useless things, then went back to the rented room, changed into a clean set of clothes, put a few sets of clean clothes into the space watch, and then set off to return to his hometown.

When Su Yu was teleported back to the real world, it was already evening, and there were no buses going to his hometown.

However, that doesn't matter. For Su Yu, who has two or three million on him, there's no problem that money can't solve.

He took a taxi straight to his hometown. As soon as he got in the car, Su Yu fell asleep. The days he spent in Shuixiong City had really exhausted him.

The red Rubik's Cube can heal physical wounds and mental fatigue, but the weariness of the soul can never be erased.

Two or three hours later, Su Yu, still half asleep, was awakened by the taxi driver's shouts.

"We've arrived."

Yawning and rubbing his eyes, Su Yu tossed two banknotes to the driver.

The driver was rummaging through the change in the center console when Su Yu told him to keep the change.

After closing the car door, Su Yu didn't go home immediately, but instead found a hotel.

Running home so late at night is bound to worry his parents, who might even think he's suffered some kind of injustice outside.

She slept half the night in a daze, and when Su Yu opened her eyes, it was already the morning of the next day.

"Damn, it's been noisy since early morning. I should have known better than to stay at this hotel."

Su Yu was awakened by a series of shouts and curses, it seemed that a fight had broken out in a room on the same floor.

Judging from the noise over there, it must be a married woman having an affair behind her husband's back.

When her husband noticed that his wife hadn't come home all night, he searched everywhere for her and caught the two having an affair in the hotel.

"What a fucking genius."

Su Yu was speechless. While he was washing his face and brushing his teeth, the argument over there was getting more and more intense.

Su Yu didn't bother with any of that. He took the elevator downstairs, checked out at the front desk, and then took a taxi straight home.

Su Yu's hometown is a small county town, more than 100 kilometers away from Liaocheng City.

We have everything we need, but the economy just won't develop.

In such a small place, the average wage is low, but the housing prices are high.

Thanks to soaring housing prices, Su Yu's parents still haven't been able to move into a spacious house.

Su Yu had long wanted to persuade his parents to move to a bigger house, but they always made excuses, such as he wasn't married and there would be many expenses in the future.

He took out his key, opened the door, and before Su Yu could even enter the house, he saw his mother busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

"mom......"

Upon seeing that figure, Su Yu's lips curled into a happy smile, but her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

"Hey, you're back?"

Upon hearing Su Yu's voice, Su's mother turned around abruptly.

"What, you're not welcoming me?"

That's what they said, but Su Yu already had one foot inside the house.

While bending down to take off her shoes, Su Yu composed herself.

The moment Su Yu raised his head again, there was no extra expression on his face, just like when he went home to visit relatives as usual.

"Look at you, it's not like it's a holiday or anything, and you didn't even tell us you were coming back."

Although Su's mother complained, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

"If you want to come back, then you can."

Su Yu said casually, smelling the aroma of food wafting from the house, which made him feel a little hungry since he hadn't eaten since returning to the real world.

Su's mother called out to Su Yu, saying that since they had made it, he should eat a bite while it was still hot.

Su Yu didn't stand on ceremony. He sat down at the dining table and waited until his mother had prepared breakfast. Under the watchful eyes of the two elders, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat heartily.
