Chen Shouyi returned to the guesthouse, holding the Godslayer Medal and certificate, turning them over word by word, not missing any detail.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

This thing surely can't be shown to his parents, as it might be more shocking than joyful for them.

Perhaps when he's older, in his years of spoiling grandchildren, he can hold the medal and boast to his grandsons and granddaughters, how powerful their grandpa or grandad once was.

After all, he took down a Demigod.

He looked at it for a long time before carefully placing the medal and certificate back into his briefcase.

This is an honor to pass down through generations.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Shouyi got up to open the door.

It was Zhang Miaomiao, dressed in a fitted office lady outfit that accentuated her shapely figure, exuding the charm of a mature woman, sweet like a ripe peach.

"Director Zhang, what's the matter?" Chen Shouyi discreetly glanced, pretending to be serious as he asked.

"I came to congratulate you on receiving a national commendation!" Zhang Miaomiao said with a smile.

"It was just luck!" Chen Shouyi said modestly.

"Chief Consultant, you're too modest. In my view, this award is well-deserved. By the way, the Beijing City Government just sent an invitation for you. I came to ask if you'd like to go?" Zhang Miaomiao smiled.

What's so good about going there?

He hates socializing with unfamiliar middle-aged and elderly people the most. It's not only tiring to pretend, but there's no common topic, it's simply torture.

"No, please decline for me." Chen Shouyi said without hesitation, then asked, "Is there no impact for not going?"

"Of course, there's no impact. They can't control us in Jiangnan Province!" Zhang Miaomiao quickly said, feeling delighted after getting the answer she wanted. "I'll decline similar invitations for you."

"That's troubling you!"

"Not at all!" Zhang Miaomiao said. She was here to do that: "When are we returning to Jiangnan Province?"

Chen Shouyi thought for a moment and said, "It might take another day or two!"

His ultra-elastic underwear hadn't been sourced yet.

"Alright, just let me know when, and I'll arrange the train tickets." Zhang Miaomiao said.

Feeling things were already discussed, Chen Shouyi was about to close the door.

Zhang Miaomiao said, "Wait a moment!"

As she spoke, she took a step closer, accompanied by a gentle fragrant breeze, and her jade hand reached out to Chen Shouyi's chest.

He immediately froze.

"There's a grain of rice on your clothes." Zhang Miaomiao said with a smile.

"Oh, it might have stuck when I ate by accident." Chen Shouyi's face flushed with embarrassment, and the messy thoughts in his mind immediately dissipated like the tide.

He closed the door, sighing lightly.

He realized that these days, his mind has been wandering continuously.

As soon as a woman slightly contacted his body, he would start entertaining wild thoughts, itching to move.

He secretly reflected that this was really inappropriate.

Thinking about it, it's quite normal! It's just the basic interpersonal communication between men and women. On TV, when men and women meet, they even hug and embrace, and in some foreign countries, they even kiss cheeks.

He was still too young, not worldly enough.

His thoughts were quite sordid.

The other party was an older woman, ten years his senior, how could she possibly be tempting him?

Thinking about it, it's impossible.

She was just relatively warm and carefree.

Chen Shouyi sat on the bed, suddenly moved in heart, pulled open the quilt, and saw the Shell Lady sleeping soundly nestled inside.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally knew how to sleep!

He immediately stuffed all the small clothes on the bed into the briefcase.

...

The higher-ups were very efficient.

After he finished having dinner in the guesthouse's dining room, a briefcase escorted by a team of soldiers was delivered to Chen Shouyi.

He opened it, checked, and immediately locked it again, signed the receipt document.

After the soldiers left, he closed the door.

His heart couldn't help but beat violently.

He reopened the metallic briefcase.

Inside were four heavy brown glass bottles still cold, filled with a faintly glowing liquid, lying quietly inside.

The bottles were of the same specification.

However, the two types of Divine Marrow were easy to distinguish.

The Divine Marrow of Weak Divine Power had a more obvious glow, even though the sun hadn't set yet and the room was brightly lit, it still emitted a gently hazy glow.

He cautiously glanced at the bed, swiftly picked up the four glass bottles, and went to the bathroom.

Closed the door.

Then quickly opened a bottle of Weak Divine Power Divine Marrow.

Not waiting for the aroma to spread.

He immediately drank it all.

The thick and cold liquid slid down his throat.

Chen Shouyi smacked his lips.

The taste was salty and fishy, sticky, with a strange undertone.

It was much thicker than the Divine Marrow he drank before, and the taste was much more intense.

As the thought flashed by, his whole body shuddered, his brain seemed to be struck by lightning, his head tingled, his body felt like it was in the clouds, his spirit was in a trance, hazy, his vision totally blurred, seconds later, his whole body shivered, his mind thoroughly sobered up.

Chen Shouyi immediately checked the attribute panel.

Intelligence had increased by 0.2 points, reaching 16.5.

"Compared to Divine Blood, the effect of Divine Marrow on intelligence is astonishing!" He thought with delight.

To know, in the previous period, he drank quite a lot of Divine Blood, at least half a liter, it was at least Weak Divine Power level, unfortunately in the end, the effect on intelligence became less and less, when reaching 16.3, there was no further progress.

Chen Shouyi picked up another bottle.

After opening the cap, he drank it in one go.

This time it again increased by 0.2 points, to 16.7.

However, by the third bottle, the effect decreased significantly, this time only raised by 0.1 points, to 16.8, fortunately, it still increased.

He felt his thoughts becoming clearer, the surroundings seemed to quiet down somewhat.

Chen Shouyi picked up the last bottle, the Divine Marrow of Weak Level Divine Power.

This bottle of Divine Marrow was worth the equivalent of three bottles of Weak Divine Power.

After opening it, he hesitantly drank it all at once.

When the effect of the Divine Marrow faded away.

He quickly checked the attribute panel, he let out a sigh of relief, his intelligence had increased by 0.3, eventually stepping into the realm of seventeen with difficulty.

Strength: 17.2

Agility: 17.7

Constitution: 17.2

Intelligence: 17.1

Perception: 15.3

Will: 16.3

Energy Accumulation: 5.52

Faith Value: 3.89

Looking at the row of numbers over seventeen in front, Chen Shouyi exhaled deeply.

Finally, it looked much more pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, he glanced at the last two items, his brow slightly furrowed.

Only these two hadn't reached seventeen points.

Fortunately, Will was already at sixteen, while Perception was in the fifteen range.

However, Perception was progressing swiftly, the Will being a bit stagnant these days, progressing slowly.

Forget it, out of sight, out of mind, he immediately closed the attribute panel.

At this moment, he felt his mind clear, thoughts lightning fast.

The surrounding light bright and time felt slowed down, he lightly moved his body, completely in harmony, telekinesis achieving, as if his originally sealed body was fully unleashed.

Though it seemed just an enhancement of 0.7 points in intelligence, less than a 40% increase, the combat power had wholly multiplied several times over.

He felt his current self could defeat his earlier self within a few moves.

Now, he could truly call himself a "Pinnacle" Martial Artist.

Strength, agility, constitution, intelligence, all were nearing the limit of a Martial Artist, he had just stepped through the gate before.

He walked out of the bathroom, came to the bedroom window, and pulled open the curtain.

In the distance was the street.

On the road, people were coming and going.

However, in his eyes, all the pedestrians seemed to intentionally slow down, moving leisurely as if they existed in different dimensions of time.

"Now I really feel unprecedentedly powerful." Watching all of this, Chen Shouyi sighed softly.

His face was melancholic.

Alas! I'm only eighteen!
