Ma Ran simply responded to everyone's questions: "What you are worried about will not happen."
"The Genetic Optimization Potion needs to be tailor-made for each user and cannot be directly promoted for everyone around the world to use the sa formula."
"This potion essentially optimizes and modifies genes, removing cancerous and mutated genes to enhance the basic physique. It's effective but not as terrifying as you imagine."
"Turning directly into an alien's appearance... is impossible."
"After using these potions, Earthlings are still Earthlings, and Cangming Star people are still Cangming Star people."
"To put it in layman's terms..."
"The so-called 'Genetic Optimization Potion' is equivalent to the 'Root Bone Pill' and 'Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill' often ntioned in fantasy and cultivation novels."
"Of course, the effects might not be as imdiate as described in so stories."
At this point, Ma Ran added: "Actually, cultivating Inner Qi to a certain realm can have the sa effect."
"According to my estimate, once you cultivate to the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi, the Genetic Optimization Potion should have no effect."
Everyone indicated they understood this reasoning.
After all, Inner Qi can affect gene expression even at low ranks.
Even ordinary drugs have concepts of drug resistance and tolerance...
Once the Inner Qi realm is profound, experiencing more benefits seems entirely understandable.
At least, compared to the extrely obvious traits after the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi like 'One-Click Dress-Up,' 'Summoned Spiritual Soldiers,' and 'Increase Lifespan,' the slight improvent in aptitude and root bone after the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi is basically negligible...
Not at all!
Su Qiangwei suddenly found the snacks in her hand no longer appealing.
What does "as long as you cultivate to the Tenth Rank of Inner Qi" an?
Is filling all 1,024 acupoints simple?
Don't ntion filling them, just calculating the positions of so many acupoints is a massive project!
"Eat more, you're too thin right now."
Watching Su Qiangwei stop eating, Ma Ran casually said: "Don't be picky, the more you eat, the stronger you beco."
After saying this, he redirected the conversation back on track: "Back to the point, what we can confirm now is..."
"The two technologies of cha and genetic potions only bring benefits to us, not harm."
President Huang Weiguo nodded involuntarily, indicating agreent.
Ma Ran downplayed things because he himself possesses both the 'National Guardian' level of superpowers and the Thirteenth Rank of Inner Qi cultivation realm, and he even successfully eliminated the Annihilation Level entity "Four" with the strong support of a demon.
Regardless of whether it involves an ability to restrain or external assistance, this at least demonstrates that Ma Ran's understanding of many matters has beco significantly different from normal people.
From an ordinary person's perspective, Old Huang believes that both the technology of cha and the Genetic Optimization Potion are extrely important to Earth!
In fact, it could be said...
If there was no Inner Qi, no superpowers, no aliens, and no Seven Vortex Swordsmanship on Earth, the appearance of these two technologies could create a new era!
"Additionally..."
Ma Ran seemingly rembered sothing and pointed at the black USB-like object in Old Huang's hand, saying: "Just now, I forgot to ntion, it also contains the 'Earth Eternal Civilization Ceasefire Agreent.'
'Shang promised verbally and signed it, stating that there will be no future interstellar wars against Earth and that they will properly restrain their subordinate forces.'
Old Huang was stunned for a mont, then ca back to his senses: "Ceasefire Agreent?"
"This is... unprecedented!"
Although many alien forces openly and secretly covet Earth, the Eternal Civilization is currently considered the biggest threat!
At least, this is what the think tanks, advisory boards, and presidents of various academic societies believe.
This good news made President Huang Weiguo's face flush with excitent, his heart overwheld with joy, and he imdiately picked up the USB, stood up, joy overflowing, pacing back and forth at the dining table, muttering to himself.
After a while, Old Huang finally returned to his senses.
He bid farewell to Ma Ran and others, then cautiously, as if acquiring a treasure, took the USB to share the good news with old friends.
President Huang Weiguo believes that Ma Ran, the demon, Su Qiangwei, and others' contributions in counterattacking the Eternal Civilization are so significant that it's almost beyond belief, even in dreams.
Simply giving dals, money, and fa is too monotonous and doesn't do justice to their contributions.
Old Huang is determined to fight for more benefits and rewards for everyone!
After President Huang Weiguo left, the atmosphere beca more relaxed.
Many society mbers who had been eavesdropping for a long ti eagerly gathered around, asking questions enthusiastically.
Su Qiangwei was so infuriated by Ma Ran that she couldn't eat for several seconds.
She finally regained her composure.
While gnawing on a sesa-sprinkled braised pork leg, she tried to use her gaze to make Ma Ran feel guilty for his lies.
What do you an by "a friendly and sincere conversation?"
Based on Su Qiangwei's understanding of this guy, Ma Ran most likely went over, pressed others' hands, and forced them to sign an under-duress treaty, right!
Under the passionate gaze of everyone, Ma Ran appeared calm and composed as always.
After a few simple exchanges, he handed over the society mbers swarming in to Li Xing and Wu Di.
With decent eloquence, Li Xing could clearly describe the scenes he had experienced in just a few words.
Even though Wu Di is stubborn and not very well-liked, his straightforwardness is well-known. Occasionally uttering a few words can enhance Li Xing's persuasiveness.
As for Ma Ran himself...
He and Su Qiangwei were both eating with their heads down.
Man is iron, and food is steel.
Ma Ran hasn't mastered fasting yet. After several rounds of fierce battles, he was already starving, his chest sticking to his back, and even the energy needed to refine Inner Qi was exhausted. Rough estimates put his current body fat percentage at around five percent, and he urgently needed to consu food to replenish nutrients.
Even so, he only ate two bowls of "Five ats and Ten Herbs Rice Bowl" (beef, chicken, pork, lamb, fish), feeling about seventy percent full.
Ma Ran is a person who understands restraint and does not indulge in pleasure.
For an Extraordinary One, eating small, frequent als is even more important than for ordinary people.
In a seventy percent full state, he could better and ticulously perceive the conversion of food thermal energy and Inner Qi without ingesting too much food in the short term, which would lead to insufficient blood supply to the brain, affect thinking, and slow down the research progress of the Enclosure Text.
Eating is cultivation, sleeping is cultivation, communicating with others is cultivation, and walking and fighting are also cultivation.
The "Martial Arts Celestial Pride" and "Academic Demon" dals complent each other. Even if Ma Ran didn't deliberately work hard on cultivation, he naturally reached the level of non-thought and automatic practice in life.
It's just that...
Even with the blessings of various dals, talents tenfold or even dozens of tis greater than ordinary people were just a small bonus for Ma Ran, insignificant.
His most important way to beco stronger is still through the feedback from "playing."
After all...
The ti left for him is too limited.
Having solved one Eternal Civilization, there were still more and stronger opposing civilizations waiting in the wings, ready to strike Earth at any mont.
In this state, a talent that's rely dozens of tis that of ordinary people is completely insufficient!
Even a hundredfold talent is lacking!
Although there are many late-stage "Chuunibyou" patients in the Grass Hut Academy, like young Xiao Ming, who was on the return journey after material collection in Lotus City, often talking about "Power is not such an inconvenient thing" in the "strong people's quotes," but...
The reborn Ma Ran understands clearly that there is no true strong man on Earth who can solve all problems with absolute power.
Not now.
If events follow the established trajectory of destiny, there will not be one in the future, either!
Unless he keeps taking action, actively attacking, and continuously trying to change, will the future Earth possibly nurture a true absolute strongman.
That is sothing too far in the future.
Absolute power, no matter how you think about it, is not sothing that can be easily acquired.
So until then, Ma Ran will strive to beco stronger and create an environnt conducive to growth for Earthlings.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder...
Knives, guns, swords, halberds, sticks, axes, hamrs...
Control, healing, explosion, damage, protection, transmission, communication...
In any field, an Extraordinary One specializing in one will be able to play a vital role in future crises.
Ma Ran collected his thoughts and put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand.
After finishing the main al, he picked up a cup of steaming black tea, gently sipping it, and glanced around.
At the table to the left were two younger schoolmates.
The dishes they ordered seed to be inspired by a well-known hunting ga of a masochistic nature, with a rough style - large bone at roasted to a saucy red color, exuding a tempting oily sheen, grilled vegetable skewers giving off a full of vitamins feel, reminiscent of a two-dinsional food impression, radiating the intense aroma of basil and black pepper.
At the table to the right was a senior mber from the first batch, who ordered thirteen dishes for himself alone.
Although the quantity was substantial, at first glance, it gave an extrely simple and slightly eerie impression.
This was one of the "Wilderness System" set als, with main ingredients like spiders, silkworm pupae, venison, breadfruit, terrapin, rattlesnake, desert scorpion, etc.
Ma Ran didn't particularly like either of these cuisines. After trying them three or five tis, he hadn't ordered them again.
He preferred the sophisticated modern dishes over the primitive, retro, minimalist style of cuisine.
"Just watching others eat..."
Su Qiangwei said indistinctly, with two hand-held bones in her hands, "I've noticed you ate very little today; did seeing too many dead Longevity Star People kill your appetite?"
"After such a long fight, you should at least replenish so strength. Don't let the Inner Qi deplete for too long!"
"I heard that a second-phase rookie from an academic society ate only a little each day to lose weight, and in the end, his Inner Qi Realm fell instead of rising, and the already opened Acupoints automatically closed."
"You have to take this as a lesson!"
"If the Acupoints experience widespread necrosis and the realm regresses, it won't be good."
Su Qiangwei had heard that so people feel nauseated and even vomit after seeing too much blood and death, and couldn't eat for several days.
At least, this had never happened to her.
However, Ma Ran shouldn't be such a fragile-hearted guy either...
Putting down the black tea in his hand, Ma Ran looked at Su Qiangwei with a faint smile and said leisurely, "With my current realm, I'm not as dependent on food as before."
!!!
A trace of lingering fear appeared on Li Xing's face.
Luckily, he had pointed the cara at Ma Ran from the start, so he didn't miss this classic scene.
If he guessed it right...
"Through this interstellar expedition, my Inner Qi Realm has broken through another layer."
Ma Ran said calmly, "Although the Fourteenth Rank of Inner Qi cannot completely eliminate the need for food, it no longer requires the extensive ti spent on eating every day."
