Chapter 271: A Different Kind of Teleportation
Su Xin raised his hand and pressed down lightly.
The crowd immediately quieted down.
Their faces, however, still carried a flush, clearly showing that the fanaticism in their hearts could not yet be calmed.
"Everyone, please don't get excited yet."
"The Tiansui Potion cannot be mass-produced that quickly, so it won't be announced to the public for the time being. Remember to keep it confidential and don't reveal it to anyone, understand?"
"Understood!"
The crowd responded in unison.
"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Now that the research and development of the Tiansui Potion has come to an end, over the next few days, I will have Director Xiang arrange for everyone to have some proper rest. Take this time to go traveling and relax."
"Once the vacation ends, we have new projects to launch, and the tasks ahead are still very heavy."
Su Xin smiled.
Some of them immediately thought of the lab mice that had turned rubbery back then, guessing that the subsequent R&D projects might be related to that.
"Perhaps, President Su intends to develop superpower potions!"
At the thought of an era where humans could unlock superpowers, the crowd felt even more exhilarated.
In everyone's hearts, as long as it was something Su Xin decided to develop, there was nothing that couldn't succeed; even if it were a magical potion like a superpower potion that only existed in science fiction, as long as Su Xin spent a certain amount of time on it, it would definitely be done.
After all, even a life-extension potion could be developed in four months, so what was impossible about a superpower potion?
"Following President Su is truly so promising! Not only is there money, but there is also infinite hope for the future!"
Carrying excited moods, the crowd left work one after another to go eat.
Su Xin, meanwhile, took a vial of potion with a label on it and went to his office.
After locking the door from the inside, Su Xin sat down behind his desk, took a syringe from the drawer, and drew the potion into it.
After a moment of thought, he took out his phone and took a selfie.
Then he took a deep breath.
He then injected himself without hesitation.
"Thump! Thump!"
The sound of his heartbeat seemed exceptionally clear in the quiet office.
Su Xin closed his eyes, leaned back in his executive chair, and felt the many changes within his body.
Having had his body strengthened once before, his tolerance for negative sensations like pain had increased significantly, and coupled with his experience of injecting genetic potions more than once, he didn't find anything unbearable at this moment.
He did not know how much time had passed.
When Su Xin felt that the changes within his body had completely ended, he opened his eyes.
He clenched his fist.
His strength and other physical attributes felt no different, nor was there any feeling of weakness from excessive energy consumption.
Then, Su Xin picked up the square mirror on the table.
Appearing in the mirror was a handsome young man with fair, firm skin, his face so rich with collagen it was almost overflowing, like a newborn baby.
At a glance, this was a college student around twenty years old who had not yet seen much of the world.
Su Xin took out his phone and took another selfie, placing it side-by-side with the photo taken before the injection for comparison.
Although the facial features were the same and there was no difference in hairstyle or temperament, one could tell at a glance that their ages were different.
It was as if he had suddenly become more than ten years younger.
"Now I have no worries!"
Su Xin grinned and laughed.
After injecting the Tiansui Potion, his lifespan had been extended by eighty years in one fell swoop; he would no longer have to worry about lifespan and aging issues in the short term.
Moreover, since he had the Tiansui Potion, the difficulty of developing advanced potions later would not be too high, and further extending his lifespan would not be a problem.
Su Xin felt that for a very long time, the issue of lifespan would not trouble him.
With his R&D efficiency, the speed at which he developed advanced potions would certainly be much faster than the speed at which he aged.
This allowed him to finally use his Godspeed superpower without restraint in the future.
Plus, with the Oxygen Storage Organ, the practicality of the Godspeed superpower was greatly enhanced.
Many of the ways he had previously imagined using it could now be put into practice as he pleased.
Thinking this, Su Xin stood up, packed his personal belongings, left the office, and walked out of the laboratory building, sending a message to Xiang Lianyun on the way.
When he arrived downstairs.
The vehicle was already waiting for him near the main entrance, with Xiang Lianyun sitting in the driver's seat.
"Boss, where to?"
Xiang Lianyun greeted him as usual.
Su Xin said, "Let's go for a stroll near Shilin Mountain."
"Alright."
Xiang Lianyun responded and operated the vehicle.
Inadvertently looking up, he saw Su Xin's appearance in the rearview mirror and immediately opened his mouth in surprise, his gaze lingering on Su Xin's face for a moment, but in the end, he asked nothing.
Su Xin smiled and offered no explanation.
The vehicle slowly drove away from the laboratory building, and before long, it drove onto the main road and merged into the traffic.
About half an hour later.
The vehicle stopped at a parking lot near a low hill.
Su Xin got out of the car and said to Xiang Lianyun, who was also preparing to get out, "You wait for me here. I'll go for a stroll by myself and will be back in a while."
Xiang Lianyun hesitated and said:
"Boss, this isn't a good idea, is it? This is the suburbs, not as safe as the city center, and there was already an attack incident before. If we run into armed thugs again, that would be troublesome."
Although he also knew that Su Xin had undergone enhancement by Tianji No. 1 and possessed advanced fighting techniques even stronger than his own, no matter how brave one's personal combat prowess was, it could not overcome firearms.
If someone were targeting Su Xin, they would certainly bring firearms, and there would certainly be more than one person.
Even if Su Xin were strong, it would be impossible to face such a situation alone with bare hands.
Su Xin smiled slightly and said:
"Look here."
Xiang Lianyun looked over, puzzled.
He had stepped down from the driver's seat and was standing on the left side of the car's front, while Su Xin had stepped down from the right rear seat and was now standing on the right side of the car's front.
The two were separated by the front of the car.
And just as Xiang Lianyun looked over, he saw Su Xin move suddenly.
Su Xin pressed his left hand onto the car hood, leaped up abruptly, and kicked a whip kick fiercely toward Xiang Lianyun with his right leg.
Xiang Lianyun hurriedly raised his arms to block.
Yet he was kicked back two steps by this heavy whip kick.
By the time he managed to stand steady, a fair palm had reached out from who knows where and was silently gripping his neck.
Xiang Lianyun immediately stopped all movement.
Su Xin withdrew his hand and stood still, smiling: "Is this okay now?"
Xiang Lianyun was silent for a moment. Seeing that Su Xin had deliberately demonstrated his skills and knowing that the other party's attitude was firm, he had no choice but to nod and say:
"Alright then, Boss, please be careful."
"If you encounter an attack, please call me immediately."
Current mobile phones all have Tiantian Assistant; one can make a call just by calling out, so even if an emergency is encountered, it won't delay calling for help.
What's more, Su Xin is the boss and he is the bodyguard; he only has the right to advise, not the right to force.
Su Xin didn't say anything more and walked away, heading toward a mountain path not far away.
Shilin Mountain is a low, small mountain; the scenery is not considered good, it has no special features, and it is located at the border of Tianjing and Beihe. Being in a remote location, very few people usually come here to play.
Previously, after Su Xin completed the cultivation of his Oxygen Storage Organ, he had originally planned to come here to test it, precisely because he had taken a fancy to how remote it was.
This time, coming to try out his ability was also because it was remote enough and there were very few people; the key was that there were no surveillance cameras in the mountains.
Walking to the foot of the mountain, he slowly climbed the steps.
The evening breeze in the forest blew against his face, letting Su Xin feel the chill unique to late autumn.
After walking for a distance, Su Xin stood at the mountainside, facing the fork in the road before him, and silently recited in his heart:
"Godspeed! Ten thousand times!"
In an instant, the world fell into silence.
The autumn wind stopped abruptly, fallen leaves froze in mid-air, and the tree branches that had been swaying in the wind also assumed a bizarre posture, completely frozen in place.
Su Xin slowed his breathing and began to run toward one of the small paths paved with gravel.
The surrounding scenery became distorted, as if everything he saw before him were an illusion.
The air around his body was as viscous as water, wrapping him tightly and making every step feel slightly difficult.
Su Xin instinctively adjusted his running posture to adapt to the resistance in the air.
With his physical fitness, which was three times that of an ordinary person after enhancement, even while enduring immense air resistance, his movement speed was definitely not slow.
About a few minutes later.
When Su Xin began to feel a little fatigue in his body, he took the initiative to stop.
After thinking for a moment, he slightly slowed the multiplier of his Godspeed, continued to walk forward for several steps, and stood on the side of the road close to the mountain.
Only then did he deactivate the Godspeed state.
"Whoosh!!"
In an instant, it was as if a demonic wind had blown up out of nowhere on the mountain path, causing the mountain forest to rustle and sweeping up dust and fallen leaves, sending them dancing across the sky.
Fine cracks also appeared on the gravel path he had walked along, and in some places, it even exploded directly, forming small pits, as if it had been attacked by some heavy object.
To the outside world, it was only a fleeting moment.
Yet Su Xin had already spent several minutes and covered at least one or two kilometers.
This was practically the effect of teleportation.
"It's a pity, it's just that the commotion is a bit large."
Su Xin smiled helplessly.
The commotion was too great, which greatly reduced the practicality of this alternative teleportation ability of his.
However, looking at the bright side, the current practicality of the Godspeed Ability was at least much stronger than it was initially.
He wasn't quite used to running at Ten Thousand Times God Speed just now; after he slowly adapted, his running speed could be further improved.
Plus, he hadn't reached his limit yet; the oxygen and physical energy in his body were both enough to support him for at least another two or three minutes of running.
In a true limit state, his maximum 'teleportation' distance in a single go could probably be five kilometers.
"The movement ability, along with the large-scale attack ability I tried before, has significantly improved both my combat ability and survival ability."
"Then, next, let's try... single-target attack under Ten Thousand Times God Speed."
Su Xin looked around, picked up a stone the size of a palm, and tossed it into mid-air.
"Godspeed, ten thousand times!"
Su Xin clenched his fist and swung it toward mid-air.
The Godspeed state was deactivated.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a startling sound of an air explosion and the crackling of electric shocks, a visible white wave of Qi surged toward mid-air.
The wave of Qi and lightning mingled together, forming a terrifying air impact cannon that instantly crushed the stones in mid-air into nothing but dust, leaving behind a white trail of unknown length in the sky before it gradually dissipated at the edge of sight.
It was just like a white smear left across a canvas of deep blue, piercing from left to right.
