Nowadays, from the elderly to children, everyone practices this kind of calisthenics every day. Unfortunately, in the past three years, fewer than eight thousand people have managed to open the seventh brain region through cultivating the Star Radiance Technique.

“Don’t rush, don’t rush, let me check why my bottle of optimization fluid is purple.” Brian Carter muttered to himself.

Brian Carter’s hand, gripping the mouse, gently slid downward. There were indeed quite a few articles about gene optimization fluid on the Starry Sky Net—several thousand, at least.

“Detailed Explanation of Gene Optimization Fluid Varieties.” With a tap of his finger, Brian Carter opened this article.

“The quality of gene optimization fluid is divided into four grades: top, high, medium, and low. Most civilizations in the universe produce their own gene optimization fluids, with differences in formula, color, and even taste. The higher the grade, the more precious the raw materials used, and the more pronounced the effects after consumption.”

Brian Carter suddenly understood. “So gene optimization fluid isn’t always green. I wonder what grade this bottle is?”

“Oh well! If I just drink it, I’ll know everything. At worst, I’ll either die or become a mathematician.” Brian Carter glanced around his shabby room. “Whatever grade it is, it can’t be worse than things are now.”

He took out the small purple bottle from the drawer.

Pop!

A crisp sound rang out as Brian Carter twisted off the cap in one go.

Gulp!

With a tilt of his neck, the gene optimization fluid went down Brian Carter’s throat. The whole action was done in one smooth motion, without any hesitation.

The purple liquid had a slight sourness, along with an indescribably strange taste.

Brian Carter lit himself another cigarette and sat quietly in his chair, waiting.

A minute passed. Other than a slight warmth in his stomach, there was nothing unusual.

Brian Carter grew a bit anxious. He glanced at the little bottle; a faint purple still clung to the inside, so there must be a bit left.

He quickly ran into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and filled the bottle with more than half a bottle of water, shaking it thoroughly.

Gulp!

The water, along with the last bit of medicine, went into Brian Carter’s stomach. This time, the bottle was completely clean, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

At that moment! The gene optimization fluid began to take effect!

In an instant, Brian Carter felt the world spinning, as if thousands of butterflies were fluttering before his eyes, and a splitting pain tore through his mind.

There was an old, unused bathtub in the bathroom. The water supply in this neighborhood was often cut off, so Brian Carter kept the tub filled with tap water just in case.

Splash!

Brian Carter staggered twice and fell headfirst into the bathtub.

His head sank into the icy water.

Chapter 0003: Speed Ability

In fact, the super gene optimization fluid Purple Jadeite developed by top scientist Harris was not a poison. On the contrary, its efficacy exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Purple Jadeite successfully opened Brian Carter’s seventh brain region. It was like opening a door—ordinary gene optimization fluid would gently push the door open a crack, but Purple Jadeite used an almost insane, explosive force to blast the door wide open, even demolishing the walls!

With no resistance, the immense power contained in the seventh brain region was completely unleashed, surging into Brian Carter’s brain like a tsunami!

Brian Carter lost all consciousness, collapsing in the bathtub filled with cold water.

If, at this moment, Brian Carter did not resist and simply let things take their course, the final result would be the same as those who had previously taken Purple Jadeite: a permanent sleep, never to awaken.

However, when faced with desperate situations, humans always erupt with a powerful will to survive—especially those who seem weak in daily life. Those small, weed-like people often possess a tenacity beyond imagination!

Brian Carter’s body shook violently in the bathtub, as if someone had thrown a high-voltage cable into the water, splashing water everywhere.

His brain had already lost consciousness, but the last shred of awareness told him, “Don’t give up! Not until the very last moment!”

Success is ninety-nine percent effort plus one percent luck. Brian Carter was already struggling with two hundred percent effort, so where was that one percent of luck?

The water in the tub poured into Brian Carter’s mouth, nose, and ears, making it impossible for him to breathe. It was a double torment!

Second by second, time passed, and Brian Carter’s struggles grew weaker and weaker.

Suddenly!

The Mohr stone on his chest, as red as a drop of blood, suddenly burst forth with a brilliant light!

The vivid red color flashed like lightning, filling the small bathroom in an instant.

……

The morning sunlight streamed in through the narrow window as the sky gradually brightened.

Achoo!

Brian Carter sneezed and sat up from the floor.

His face was still pale, his whole body weak, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!

After three sneezes in a row, Brian Carter actually felt much lighter all over. His body was recovering at an astonishing speed.

“Wow, it’s so cold!”

Brian Carter jumped up and dashed back to the bedroom, diving under the covers at a speed that was simply astonishing!
