[Trait synthesis + Precise stats + Decisive and ruthless + Everyone is intelligent + Multiple heroines]
Sixty days before the national martial arts exam, Lu Zheng's blood and qi had stalled at 88.0 calories. The three blood-and-qi stimulants meant for him through a scholarship program for children of fallen soldiers had been secretly resold by his homeroom teacher to the nephew of an assistant section chief at the Education Bureau.
Lu Zheng didn't argue on the spot. Instead, he went to the Academic Affairs Office, printed out the authorization form for the pickup as evidence, then returned to his room and dismantled his father's old Type 78 broken saber, awakening the Everything Trait System.
He had only 840 federal coins to his name and couldn't afford the genuine blood-and-qi stimulants, which cost 10,000 each.
So he spent 120 coins on six live iron nematodes and extracted and synthesized [Strong Acid Stomach (Green)]: medicine absorption was permanently locked at 100%, and he was completely immune to the violent corpse poison and heavy-metal impurities in inferior medicine.
An ordinary person who drank a genuine 10,000-coin stimulant absorbed only 30% through the digestive tract, for a net increase of 1.5 calories of blood and qi.
Lu Zheng bought inferior black-market Ox-Demon Blood Paste, which cost 300 coins per bag and clogged an ordinary person's meridians. With 100% lossless absorption, two bags made his blood and qi surge by 4.5 calories that very night.
[Strong Acid Stomach (Green)] + [Boiling Blood and Qi (Green)] + Second-Order Scarlet Flame Snake Gallbladder = [Taotie Furnace (Blue)]: Boosts the potency of medicine to 150%. Eating the raw flesh of exotic beasts directly converts it into 2.0 calories of blood and qi a day.
[Night Vision (Green)] + [Wind-Hearing Ears (Green)] + Mutated Shadowcat Brain Core = [Threat Perception (Blue)]: Reduces nerve response time by 30 milliseconds and lets him predict every deadly projectile and hostile intent within a 30-meter radius 0.5 seconds in advance.
While the children of powerful families were still relying on expensive drugs to make steady progress, Lu Zheng was already using his countless synthesized traits to settle old scores, step by step...
