In the evening, when Jiang Li returned home from school, he smelled a strong aroma of meat. His nose twitched and he swallowed his saliva.
"Mom, what meat is this, it smells so good?"
His mother poked her head out of the kitchen: "This is the Woodfern Beast meat we just bought today, come and have a bowl of soup."
"This is for your brother." In the living room, his father Jiang Zhendong coughed, "This meat costs 300 star dollars per catty."
Star dollars was the currency of humanity when they entered the Galaxy Era. It was very strong and one star dollar was equivalent to one gram of gold.
His parents' monthly salary added up to more than 100 star dollars, enough for the whole family to live a well-off life, but to buy all kinds of luxury supplements was somewhat difficult.
The Woodfern Beast was a kind of space beast, very difficult to catch, but its flesh and bones were very nutritious. Drinking soup could improve the physique, increase strength, and strengthen muscles. Its effect was ten times better than Earth's medicinal herbs such as cordyceps and ginseng.
Although Jiang Li's family was well-off, it was rare for them to eat it once a year.
"Dad, I know, now is the time for my brother to replenish his vitality." Jiang Li shrugged his shoulders, very sensible. His brother's results were the best, so this kind of luxurious meat should naturally be used on him.
* Dong dong dong … … *
With the sound of footsteps, the door opened, and a teenager appeared in the doorway.
It was his younger brother Jiang Tao.
He was very strong, 1.9 meters tall, and although he was only 16 years old, he was a head taller than Jiang Li. His body was full of explosive power, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He had a powerful and imposing aura. He was an influential figure in the school.
Jiang Li was now 17 years old, and his height was only 1.75 meters.
Both brothers were studying, one in his second year and the other in his third year.
"Dad, mom, brother, I'm back."
"How was today's exam? Did your vitality break through? "Jiang Zhendong impatiently asked. His mother who was busy in the kitchen also came out.
"Vitality was 0.95, I broke through and also got a scholarship of 30 star dollars." Jiang Tao took out a red packet.
"Good … … good … …" Jiang Zhendong's face was full of joy. "Work hard, you must be admitted to Starry Sky University. The whole family's hopes are on you. Your mother cooked the Woodfern Beast meat for you, hurry up and eat."
"Brother, you eat too." The younger brother, Jiang Tao, looked at Jiang Li and said, "Your vitality has always been 0.7 because of insufficient nutrition. If I eat more Woodfern Beast meat, I'm sure my constitution will improve. "
"No need." Jiang Li waved his hand. "My talent is far inferior to yours. It would be a waste to eat it. That's right, little brother, finish the meat first. Otherwise, when little sister comes back, she'll make things difficult for us. "
This was a family of five. His parents, Jiang Li, his younger brother Jiang Tao, and his thirteen-year-old sister Jiang Xuan.
"Wow, brother, your vitality has actually reached 0.95?" At the door, a thirteen-year-old girl walked in. It was his younger sister, Jiang Xuan. "I heard that there are more than 200,000 students in the second year of high school. Brother should be in the top ten, right?"
"Ha! Little sister is back. " His younger brother Jiang Tao pulled a chair: "Although 0.95 is an influential figure in the school, it is still far from the score of Starry Sky University. Sooner or later I will reach 1."
"Little brother, don't tire yourself out." Jiang Li's eyes revealed concern: "There are more than 800,000 students in our school, but less than 10 have reached 1. They are basically the children of rich and powerful people. They eat super tonics every day. Our family can't afford it. If we force ourselves to cultivate, it will easily backfire. "
"Don't worry." His younger brother Jiang Tao didn't care: "Brother, I have already entered the third stage of deep sleep. These days, I have already started meditating! I want to let those people know that resources can never be compared to talent! "
"What? Meditating? "Jiang Li was shocked." Little brother, are you trying to scare me? "
"Really?" Jiang Zhendong, his mother, and sister Jiang Xuan were also surprised, not daring to believe it.
His younger brother Jiang Tao was a genius. He quickly showed his talent. Since junior high school, he could cultivate every night and enter the state of 'deep sleep'.
From then on, he slept for an hour a day and was full of energy throughout the day. But Jiang Li had to sleep for eight hours to barely have energy. How could they compare?
However, he was even more powerful now.
He had actually started meditating!
The Buddhist scripture 'The Great Wisdom Theory' said: Those who enter meditating will not be harmed by fire or water, nor will they die. It was obvious how magical this state was.
And according to modern scientific research, when meditating, the body's potential would be greatly developed, the endocrine system would change, and the body would become stronger and stronger.
The endocrine system was a very magical thing. Some people with gigantism or dwarfism were due to the changes in their endocrine system.
"That Zhang Yue in our class is so arrogant. Compared to my younger brother, he's just trash."
Jiang Li was somewhat gratified. Zhang Yue relied on resources and spices to barely enter deep sleep every night, while his younger brother Jiang Tao could even enter deep sleep while exercising. This was just like the ancient drunken fist, even when drunk, he wouldn't be drunk. Drunk people were all very powerful, but drunken fist was not a fist punching drunk, but a mental anesthesia. Modern scientific research was that the mind would enter deep sleep during exercise.
In deep sleep during exercise, the body would not feel tired, the strength would be infinite, and the adrenaline would be controlled.
However, true meditating was a hundred times more difficult than the third stage of deep sleep. It required a strong spiritual will and mental strength to expel the inner demons, clear the sky, and not have any distracting thoughts.
The mind was like an ape, and it was flexible. Subduing it into meditation required great perseverance.
In the entire school of more than 800,000 students, there might be one or two people who could 'meditate', or maybe none.
His younger brother Jiang Tao didn't have enough resources. Otherwise, he would have entered the vitality level of 1 long ago.
Of course, above 'meditating', there was also 'embryonic breathing'.
'Embryonic breathing' could only be achieved by mind masters and human elites.
The so-called 'embryonic breathing' was to cut off breathing through the nose and mouth, entering a state of suspended animation. The body's internal cells would automatically breathe, and they would be perfectly strengthened at every moment. Over time, the human body would become unbelievably strong.
As for 'embryonic breathing' and above, there were some more profound mental realms, but they were the research topics of human mind masters in the elite area. The current students simply couldn't come into contact with them.
Of course, to be strong, one could even not cultivate the mind.
Because there were supplements to make up for it, many super supplements could strengthen the body, and the vitality of some rich children in the school was also very strong.
Among the powerful people in the human world, there were two types of resources, such as rich children. The second type was talent, such as Jiang Tao.
Of course, if one had both resources and talent, they would be invincible.
At this time, the virtual projection TV was playing today's news.
A beautiful female anchor said with a smile, "According to the latest research, the average life expectancy of humans in the ordinary area has reached 100 years, and the average life expectancy of those in the elite area is 180 years …"
"Wow …" His younger sister Jiang Xuan exclaimed, "180 years, how long do we have to live? When can we immigrate to the elite area?"
"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely let my whole family immigrate to the elite area." Jiang Tao clenched his fist, and his whole body crackled, showing his exuberant vitality, fighting spirit, and steel-like confidence.
"Elite area …" His father Jiang Zhendong and his mother both revealed hope.
The human residential area was divided into the ordinary area and the elite area.
The elite area was inhabited by human elites, high-level officials, super rich people, and peerless experts.
The environment, education, medical care, and technology were all decades more advanced than the ordinary area.
"Brother, I heard that there are people in the elite area who can survive in a vacuum and tear apart beasts in the starry sky with their bare hands. Some people's vitality even broke through three digits, is that right?" His younger sister Jiang Xuan excitedly said, "Aren't they superhumans?"
His younger brother Jiang Tao stroked his younger sister Jiang Xuan's head, "Of course, the elite area is filled with heroes and experts of our human race. More than two hundred years ago, humans had not yet left the earth, and resources were insufficient. Now that we can perform wormhole jumps and obtain many precious medicines, the vitality of humans has also begun to greatly improve. "
"Yes." Jiang Li also imparted knowledge to his younger sister, "More than two hundred years ago, when humans still existed in many countries, the average vitality was only 0.5, but now you are stronger than them."
"To be honest, we humans on earth are a race blessed by God. In 2050, an alien battleship suddenly crashed. Although various countries fought over the battleship and launched three world wars, humans were unified because of this. They studied the alien battleship together and obtained the wormhole jump technology. Otherwise, with only two hundred years, humans would never have developed to this point." Jiang Tao sighed with emotion.
"Only by being admitted to Starry Sky University can we hope to immigrate to the elite area. Starry Sky University is the cradle of elites." His father Jiang Zhendong continued, "Let's eat, this is cordyceps stewed black chicken, this is snow clam, ginseng … Although they are all synthetic, the effect is the same as wild ones."
The dishes on the table were also very sumptuous. There were many tonics, such as ginseng, deer antler, snow clam, cordyceps … They were all synthetic and had good medicinal effects.
Of course, this was a common meal.
Real rich people did not eat these things.
The average lifespan of humans in the ordinary area had reached one hundred years, and this was also related to the food they ate. In the past, many of the big tonics could be synthesized artificially.
Of course, the real tonics were natural in the alien planet, such as the meat of the Cypress Fern, which could be on the dining table of the rich.
After eating, his younger brother Jiang Tao pushed his bowl, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I have to go to school for meditation training tonight, I have to go now."
"Be careful."
"Got it."
While speaking, his younger brother Jiang Tao's body moved, and he was already out of the door. With a "Monkey Body Movement", his movement was as fast as the wind, as fast as a bird, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared. He was equivalent to a martial arts master from two hundred years ago.
This kind of movement, Jiang Li could not even see clearly, let alone do it.
"Jiang Tao, go out."
"I'm going to school for training, Auntie Wang, Uncle Li …"
"So fast, Old Jiang's family raised a good son. I don't know how many tonics my son has eaten, but his vitality is still at 0.7. I'm so angry. "
"Jiang Tao is a genius, he is a student who can enter deep sleep very early, but my son can't either."
Outside, the conversation of the neighbors could be heard. Dad Jiang Zhendong and mom were smiling.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going out too." After eating, he washed the dishes with his sister, and Jiang Li went out with a bucket of prepared cat food.
"Going to the park to feed the stray cats again?" Jiang Zhendong frowned, then thought of something and relaxed, "Go, come back early."
"Zhendong, isn't Jiang Li a bit decadent?" Mom walked out, "But don't blame him, Jiang Tao's talent is better than his, so the family's resources have been used on Jiang Tao since he was a child."
"This child, Jiang Li, has no talent. If he could enter deep sleep, he wouldn't be like this. I'm mainly afraid that Jiang Tao will be under too much pressure and crush him. After all, all hope is pinned on him. I, Jiang Zhendong, can't do it myself, I have to rely on my son to get back what belongs to me … But Jiang Li … sigh …" Jiang Zhendong sighed.
