Chapter 19

"Let's buy a bottle and see its effects first."

Lin Yuan selected the quantity of the advanced nutrient fluid as '1' and clicked on purchase. The price for a bottle of advanced nutrient fluid was two hundred thousand, equivalent to ten years' income for an ordinary citizen who neither eats nor drinks. Moreover, high-quality nutrient fluids had already become restricted resources.

If Lin Yuan hadn't upgraded to a second-level citizen, he wouldn't even have seen this option, let alone purchase it.

"I guess my current strength level is probably close to an unranked Evolutionist?"

After buying the advanced nutrient fluid, Lin Yuan began to evaluate his own condition. According to the Cosmic Human Alliance's standards for different Evolutionist ranks, his Martial Dao innate realm had barely reached the threshold of becoming an Evolutionist, meaning he was at an unranked level.

However, he understood that the realm and combat power were different things. With his control over the Unrestrained Realm (Free and Unrestrained Realm), he could achieve extraordinary effects even at an unranked level, he could easily crush ordinary ranked Evolutionists.

"Among ranked Evolutionists, the first rank is divided into twelve stages. If I could recover to full strength, I'd probably be between stages ten and twelve."

Lin Yuan speculated in his mind. Purely in terms of destructive power, the Unrestrained Realm was likely approaching the limit of the first rank and was close to the second rank.

A true second-rank Evolutionist might not reach the 'City-Annihilation Level,' but as long as there are no evolvers of the same level or technological weapons to block it, destroying a city will not take long. A casual blow can easily destroy tall buildings hundreds of meters and kilometers high.

Since the high-grade Evolutionary Fluid was a restricted resource, it would probably take half a day to a day for it to be delivered to Lin Yuan. During this time, he decided to buy a house.

More precisely, he intended to purchase a training space.

His current residence was too small and fragile. Lin Yuan sometimes worried that even stretching would cause it to collapse. Moreover, he occasionally needed a larger space to verify his Martial Dao.

As an Evolutionist, he also needed an independent space, which his current residence didn't meet.

"Shuiyue District."

Lin Yuan browsed the internet for a while and selected this district. Shuiyue District belonged to the high-end real estate area of Dongning City, recently opened for sale in the suburbs.

In the cosmic era, true upper-class elites preferred not to live in the city center. Thus, high-end communities like Shuiyue District, located in the suburbs, close to nature, and emphasizing the environment, always remained popular.

Lin Yuan looked at the housing prices in Shuiyue District, ranging from ten million to fifteen million. In addition, second-level citizens could enjoy a fifty percent discount.

Lin Yuan wasn't surprised by this. In the cosmic human civilization, higher-level citizens naturally enjoyed many benefits and privileges. After all, the citizen level couldn't be inherited, and the current higher-level citizens were individuals who had made significant contributions to human civilization.

"This district will do."

Lin Yuan went out and headed to the suburbs. The five to seven and a half million credits exceeded his current deposit limit. However, after upgrading to a second-level citizen, Lin Yuan received a credit card from the Central Bank.

He could borrow up to twenty million credits at no interest. This two million credits only needed to be repaid within fifty years. It was one of the hidden benefits of being a second-level citizen. With the income of a second-level citizen, earning a few million in a year would easily repay the loan within seven or eight years. It wasn't a high-risk loan.

Soon...

Lin Yuan arrived at the sales office of Shuiyue District.

There weren't many citizens here, but without exception, they all exuded extraordinary charm, belonging to true elite individuals. After all, ordinary citizens rarely strolled around high-end properties worth one or two million.

Even though Lin Yuan was dressed casually, he didn't go unnoticed. Immediately, a staff member approached him.

"Hello, sir. What type of house are you looking for?"

The staff member, a girl with red lips, white teeth, large eyes, and a tall figure, wearing a slightly tight uniform that subtly outlined her curves, greeted Lin Yuan.

"A larger one, quieter."

Lin Yuan stated his requirements.

"Sure, sure."

As the conversation continued, Anna's mood gradually became serious. She glanced at the young man in front of her, wondering if he was really here to buy a house. It wasn't that Anna looked down on Lin Yuan, but out of ten people who came to inquire, nine only came to ask, and only one might have a slight intention to buy. This was normal since dealing with matters involving one or two million required careful consideration.

However, judging by Lin Yuan's tone, it didn't sound like a mere inquiry. Thinking about this, Anna immediately became excited, closing the distance between them. She almost leaned into Lin Yuan.

"I'll take this one."

After looking for a while, Lin Yuan finally made a decision.

This property had three floors and could be considered more of an estate than a house, complete with a dedicated courtyard and even an underground training ground.

"Really buying?"

Anna felt delighted.

"Would you like to apply for a loan, sir?"

Anna asked cautiously.

"No need."

"It really is Lin Yuan."

This time, Zhao Qiwen observed carefully.

She was sure the young man walking ahead of Manager Wang was her classmate.

"What are you looking at?"

"Why are you staring at the client like that? Is this how you usually behave?"

At this moment, Anna walked over, frowning at Zhao Qiwen.

"Anna, I'm just curious about that person's identity. Even Manager Wang is following him like..."

Zhao Qiwen didn't say the words 'like a grandson' out loud, but the meaning was clear.

"Mr. Lin is a distinguished guest of our Shuiyue Group. Don't refer to him as 'that person.' If Manager finds out, you won't be spared."

Anna glared at Zhao Qiwen and continued, "And don't inquire about the guest's information. It's a rule of the group, understand?"

"Yes, yes, I understand."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiwen's face turned slightly pale.

Anna had cited the group's regulations, indicating that Lin Yuan's true identity was far beyond her reach.

"The environment is quite good."

In Shuiyue District, No. 32, Lin Yuan sat in the underground training room, his expression showing satisfaction.

You get what you pay for, and this place indeed met Lin Yuan's standards.

"Oh right, I need to change my address."

Thinking of something, Lin Yuan opened the shopping app and updated the address of the purchased 'Advanced Nutrient Solution' to his current location.

A stranger arrived at Shuiyue District half a day later, stopping in front of Lin Yuan's residence.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Yuan. This is the item you purchased. You can open it with your fingerprint."

Lin Yuan took the sealed alloy box handed over by the man, and his finger swiped across the top.

"Drip! Fingerprint verification successful."

An electronic synthesized voice sounded, and the alloy box opened, revealing a ten-centimeter test tube.

Inside the test tube was a sky-blue liquid.

"Worth every bit of the two hundred thousand."

Lin Yuan smiled as he examined the 'Advanced Nutrient Solution.'

Gulp.

Lin Yuan opened the 'Advanced Nutrient Solution' and took a sip.

Instantly, a scorching breath began to spread throughout his limbs and hundreds of bones.

The terrifying force almost burst out of his body, exploding in all directions.

"Refine."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

Suddenly, the terrifying heat rapidly merged into his body, continuously being refined.

An hour later,

Lin Yuan silently opened his eyes.

"Advanced to the Grandmaster Realm?"

Lin Yuan's eyes gleamed as he felt a substantial increase in his blood and internal energy.

"Maybe another twenty bottles, and I'll be able to fully restore my strength."

Confirming the effectiveness of the 'Advanced Nutrient Solution,' Lin Yuan didn't hesitate to purchase twenty bottles.

Two days later, after absorbing all twenty bottles of 'Advanced Nutrient Solution,' Lin Yuan's strength fully recovered.
