Li Su got up from bed, picked up his phone, and saw it was 10:36, he had overslept.
Before, when he was a wage slave, he would always get up at 7:00 AM.
After work, he would come home after 10 PM, play on his phone until 12 AM, and then the next day he would be a good wage slave again.
To completely escape the fate of being a wage slave, Li Su decided to train himself well.
As the old saying goes, 'Those who kill and set fires wear golden belts, while those who build bridges and pave roads have no corpses,' and he deeply resonated with this saying.
After eating at home, Li Su went out, his destination being the back mountain.
A woman in her thirties saw Li Su walking alone towards the back mountain and couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Su, are you going to pay respects to your father again?"
Then her tone changed, "How did things go with the girl I introduced you to last time?
"When are you going to marry her and bring her home? I'm still waiting to drink your wedding wine."
Li Su showed a formulaic smile and said helplessly, "Hello, Aunt Liu, we talked quite well. If we can get married, I'll definitely thank you properly. I have something to do now, so I'll be going."
After walking a few quick steps to get away from her, Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. He was currently preoccupied with becoming stronger; he had no time for such idle matters and could only casually brush her off.
There was a small stream in the mountains, which was Li Su's destination today.
He found a shady spot by the stream; the early autumn sun was still a bit scorching.
This place was almost deserted during the day, so he could train himself here without worry.
Li Su's current Mind Power intensity was not high; he could control a maximum of two jin (approx. 1 kg) of weight, and a half-jin (approx. 250 g) stone was just right to control.
He could control two stones as if they were his own arms; he could control more, but the accuracy would decrease significantly.
Closing his eyes, he could perceive many small insects flying around; his Perception Domain only had a radius of 3 meters.
Without interference from distant objects, his attention could be greatly concentrated.
Two stones flew around at an extremely fast speed. With the stones' power and speed, these insects were almost instantly killed if hit and injured if grazed.
However, the accuracy was somewhat disappointing; after three minutes, he had only killed five insects.
This was also normal; even if Li Su used the hands that had been with him for 22 years,
he would still have to concentrate to swat those insects, and he might not even be able to swat five in the same amount of time.
What Li Su needed to do now was to concentrate and practice. As long as he worked hard enough, plus a little talent, he would eventually see the desired results.
He practiced accurate attacks with small stones for an hour, then practiced extreme load-bearing with heavy objects for ten minutes.
Feeling a bit tired, he went to pick up some smooth stones, of all sizes. These were the weapons Li Su prepared for himself.
When Mind Power grew to its limit, it would reach a strength of twenty to thirty tons. Launching stones with extreme force,
that kind of power should be comparable to a bullet.
Quickly storing stones with huge kinetic energy into his spatial storage would turn them into his exclusive 'gun'.
In the evening, Li Su returned home with his newly arrived package and closed the door.
Soon, he took out three daggers from the package.
He controlled one dagger to fly up and stab into a small door; it didn't penetrate very deeply.
Compared to controlling daggers, he preferred flying swords, especially cool flying swords, but unfortunately, he had no money.
In the previous world he transmigrated to, Li Su was too weak and didn't have a legal identity, which was why he didn't think about making money.
That country was not friendly to undocumented people, so for the sake of his own life, he ran back early.
Li Su looked at the balance on his phone; he still had over 60,000 yuan. He sighed; this was all his savings.
If the next world wasn't dangerous, he would have to make money and hoard supplies, otherwise he would only be able to work to earn money.
For the next period, Li Su spent every day familiarizing himself with his increasingly powerful Mind Power.
He would also set aside some time to buy ingredients and cook large meals at home, and occasionally purchase a batch of daily necessities.
This kind of life was not boring for him; he even enjoyed it, though he would occasionally be gossiped about.
In the neighbors' eyes, Li Su was just idling his days away, doing nothing all day, and liked to wander around.
In the eyes of these people, he was a typical good-for-nothing.
Many mothers would educate their children, saying, "When you grow up, you can't become a good-for-nothing like him, or I'll beat you to death."
Originally, there were some people who wanted to introduce matches to Li Su, but after seeing his demeanor, they all gave up.
Introducing a girl to such a good-for-nothing, wouldn't that be harming the girl?
Li Su would just chuckle at such remarks and never retort.
If he truly were a good-for-nothing, hearing such comments would surely make him angry and he would curse at them.
After about 300 days, his Mind Power finally grew to the limit that this body could achieve.
He roughly estimated that the maximum weight his Mind Power could lift was about 38 tons.
The range his mental power could sense, which Li Su called his Perception Domain, also had a radius of 1800 meters.
Within 50 meters, Li Su could control 3 flying swords to cut insects with perfect accuracy.
To achieve this effect, he had worn out as many as 12 longswords.
This was only from cutting flowers, plants, trees, and water; he had never cut anything harder than wood.
There was no other way; weapons were expensive, and he still had to live.
Li Su's thoughts stirred, and an apple appeared out of thin air. Two small, inch-long knives flew out, spinning around the apple.
A moment later, the apple peel and core flew out the window and into the trash can outside the door.
The remaining apple was all cut into uniform small pieces.
This precise control was the result of a year of hard training.
The intensity of his Mind Power had reached the body's limit, and now it was time for refined development.
The Dreamlike Ark could be used in two days. Supplies might not need to be prepared, but firepower must be sufficient.
Stones with added kinetic energy only had an attack power comparable to firearms.
Li Su had an idea: find some square boulders, drop them from a high altitude, then accelerate them with Mind Power, and once they reached a certain speed, store them in his storage space.
This way, he could increase his attack power's upper limit.
Li Su glanced at the sky; the bright moon hanging high made it a good night to go out.
Li Su changed into warm clothes and put on a motorcycle helmet.
Sensing no one around, he flew into the sky, looking down from above.
The dark mountains, the shimmering small river, and the scattered lights of homes.
This was flying. No matter how many times he flew, his heart would surge, and even the air he breathed felt full of freedom.
Li Su took out two bird-like wooden pieces, one for his back and one for his front, disguising himself as a large bird.
If something happened to look over, they would only see a bird. This was Li Su's flying disguise.
In this world, Li Su wanted to keep a low profile, so he tried his best not to reveal any clues.
Otherwise, if seen by certain people, he would become a perfect experimental subject.
Li Su showed unusual concern for powerful firepower, searching for stones to drop from the sky and then store in his spatial storage.
This repetitive process continued for over a month.
