Gao Wu: I have a dimensional gate

Lu Qiu received the portable extractor, along with a user manual with annotations, which Zhao Liu thoughtfully gifted him.

Instead of explaining Zhao Liu's misunderstanding of his identity, he gave a vague and ambiguous response.

The resources collected in the other world are all high-end goods, and experienced material dealers like Zhao Liu are bound to discover some clues.

By giving him some space to fill in the blanks in his own mind, Lu Qiu could at least feel a little safer.

I got home at 1 a.m.

Logically, it should be sleep time now, and the body is in a resting state when it can digest and absorb various medications the fastest.

Similarly, muscles and bones grow the fastest.

Only the Qi and blood won't be as active.

But practicing the White Crane Stance for an hour at noon made him particularly energetic tonight.

Otherwise, they should have gone to bed long ago.

He activated the extractor according to the instructions and started preheating. He took out an adenoma, peeled it with a tactical knife, and put it into the feed inlet.

Turn on the switch, the preset separation solution is injected, and the high-speed rotating motor emits a very low hum.

Lu Qiu stared intently at the transparent glass wall of the extractor, recalling Zhao Liu's operating instructions while adjusting the motor speed.

Stirring, shaking, centrifugation...

Ten minutes later, two test tubes popped out from next to the extractor, one dark red and one transparent.

The transparent liquid is adenomatous toxin, a colorless and odorless neurotoxin that works extremely quickly. It can invade the central nervous system within three seconds of contact with the blood of a first-tier alien beast.

The dark red liquid was his target product—blood saliva.

The purity tester was set to expert mode, and after the probe absorbed a drop of dark red liquid, the result was displayed shortly.

"80% purity, 13% toxin residue, and 7% impurities."

An expected failure.

Generally speaking, for qualified blood saliva, impurities should be below 5% and residual toxins should be below 10%. If these levels are exceeded, there will be side effects after consumption.

"It's just a little over, only one extractor. I'm getting more and more familiar with the extractor, so I don't need to throw it away."

This vial of blood saliva contains a full 150ml, exceeding the standard dose by 50%. Even if the quality is only close to the standard, the effect is much better than that of a standard adenoma.

As for the side effects... they are completely tolerable.

Lu Qiu continued the extraction process.

The second test showed a purity of 82%, toxin residue of 8.7%, and impurities of 9.3%.

"The centrifugation rate wasn't controlled properly, let's try again."

The third test showed a purity of 84%, with 7% toxin residue and 9% impurities.

The toxin level had decreased slightly, but the impurity content remained almost unchanged. Lu Qiu repeatedly reviewed the operating procedures and concluded that there should be no problem using the extractor.

It seems the preprocessing wasn't done properly.

The preciousness of the adenoma made him extremely careful when removing the skin, afraid of scraping away too much of the useful components, but unexpectedly, it caused side effects.

He scraped off the fourth adenoma again.

The fourth time, the purity was 92%, the toxin residue was 6%, and the impurities were 2%.

A notification popped up saying "Pharmacology Proficiency +1", and Lu Qiu knew he had succeeded.

Not only did he successfully extract the first batch of blood saliva that met the quality standards, but he also unlocked the medicine-making skill. It seems that his proficiency level only increases when he succeeds.

The fifth, the sixth, the seventh...

An hour later, at 3:30 a.m., all sixteen adenomas had been extracted.

Starting with the tenth adenoma, the blood saliva he extracted had zero impurities, and each one increased his proficiency by 2 points.

In addition to the six successfully extracted adenomas, each providing one point, for a total of six proficiency points, the total increase is 20.

He now possesses 1050ml of high-quality blood saliva, 900ml of standard blood saliva, and 450ml of coarse blood saliva.

Based on the standard usage of 100ml per day, it can fully cover the period before the practical training.

Lu Qiu plans to sell the extra meat and exchange it for some exotic beast meat, mainly to improve his muscles and secondarily to improve his bones.

After tidying up everything, consuming 100ml of high-quality blood saliva, and eating the last bone-strengthening herb, Lu Qiu opened the control panel.

Name: Lu Qiu

Qi and blood: 8.8

Muscle: 8.4

Skeleton: 8.0

Skills: Eighth Set of National Primary and Secondary School Students' Basic Training Method (Mastery), White Crane Stance (Beginner | 1/50), Elementary Pharmaceutical Making (Beginner | 20/50)

State: Minor unity of heaven and man, activation of qi and blood (minor)

Realm: None

Personal space: 2400ml of hemosaliva, 500ml of low-level neurotoxin

The skeleton remains unchanged. Once the skeleton reaches a strength of 8.0, a single Boneweed plant can no longer provide a 0.1 boost.

Either increase the dosage or improve the quality of the medicinal materials.

Although the Qi and blood are not immediately boosted, the effect of blood saliva on boosting Qi and blood is continuous, as evidenced by the increased Qi and blood activation in the status bar.

After glancing at the time, Lu Qiu immediately crawled into bed. He couldn't wait to see how much his blood and qi would improve after he woke up.

Before falling into a deep sleep, Lu Qiu had a dream.

In his dream, he confronted the skull-crushing cat and cleaved its head off with a single stroke.

……

5:30.

As soon as the alarm rang, Lu Qiu jumped out of bed, turned it off, and opened the control panel.

Name: Lu Qiu

Qi and Blood: 8.8 → 9.0

Muscle: 8.4

Skeleton: 8.0

Skills: Eighth Set of National Primary and Secondary School Students' Basic Training Method (Mastery), White Crane Stance (Beginner | 1/50), Elementary Pharmaceutical Making (Beginner | 20/50)

State: Minor unity of heaven and man, activation of qi and blood (minor)

Realm: None

Personal space: 2300ml of hemosaliva, 500ml of low-level neurotoxin

Qi and blood levels increased by 0.2, reaching level 9.

Lu Qiu stood up and moved his body, clearly noticing a significant improvement in the sensitivity of his muscles and his control over his body.

The state of blood and qi activation is still there. Even though he only slept for two hours, he felt more energetic than when he slept for eight hours before.

This is likely the result of the combined effects of the white crane stake and blood saliva.

He stored the blood saliva in his personal space where time was frozen, so there was no need to worry about it spoiling.

After Lu Qiu finished dressing and washing up, he came out of his bedroom to eat breakfast feeling very relaxed and looking forward to the future.

His current combined GPA is 26.4, which exceeds the admission line of a third-rate university like Wuhan University. Given the trend of expanding enrollment, he is almost certain to get in.

Moreover, there are still nearly two months until the college entrance examination, so he has a lot of room for improvement.

"What are you thinking about, so happy?" Dad Lu tapped his son's head with his finger. "Did you find a girlfriend?"

From the moment he sat down at the table, the corners of his mouth never left his lips, and he would hum a few words every now and then, clearly enjoying himself immensely.

Lu Qiu laughed and said, "No, it's just that I've improved a lot recently, and I'm more confident about getting into Wuhan University."

"Wow, you little rascal, this isn't even a sure thing yet," Mom interjected, "and you're already bragging?"

"You've never liked lying since you were little, and now that you've said it, I'm going to walk around like a madman today. If you ask me, I'll just say that my son is a prospective student at Wuhan University."

"Shameless! Don't put so much pressure on Lu Qiu."

Dad rolled his eyes at Mom, but his eyes crinkled with laughter. He then looked at his son and said, "Isn't today Friday? The high school tests three dimensions every Friday. We'll find out what level we are after school tonight."

"Then you can start cultivating retirement hobbies now. When the Ministry of Agriculture gives you a sinecure, it'll be no different from retirement," Lu Qiu said confidently, puffing out his chest.
