Chapter 27 Aqua-Fiend Extract, A Breakthrough
Old Jon's voice was cold, but Erian wasn't intimidated in the slightest. He even 'mistakenly' exposed a part of the Vial from his pocket.
Contrary to Erian's expectation, Old Jon didn't fawn at him like he would expect a proper trader would. But the old man's attention was piqued. "The glow. Bring it over let me take a look at it."
Erian gave up. Nothing much surprises this old man does it? He was pretty much indifferent to any body. Not even showing a single trace of excitement. He watched as Old Jon scrutinised the vial and then placed it under some sort of scale.
"Don't worry old man, I wouldn't cheat you. So how much for this serum?"
The old man dropped the glowing serum and directly deposited it within a box. Afterwhich, he continued his work and acknowledged. "25,000 bronx."
Erian didn't let the excitement show in his eyes. Instead, he bared his teeth at the old man. "That's half the price of the serum!"
"25,000."
"Fine!"
Erian grumbled and then pulled out the second vial. "Add this with it."

"27,500 bronx."
"Alright, but before that, I need to get some things. Do you have something to help boost the efficiency of my practice? I heard you sell those over here, right?"
The old man replied almost instantly. "Aegean Body-treatment serum."
Erian frowned. "It can barely increase the effectiveness of any technique. I don't want something that weak. I meant the really good stuff."
Old Jon gave Erian a once-over and after a moment of silence, he brought out a bottle containing red fluids within. "Aqua-Fiend Fluid Extract."
Erian's was immediately excited. This was the good stuff he was talking about. According to what he had heard about it, this fluid could increase one's training by at least 30 percent. "How much is it?"
"10,000 Bronx."
Erian froze and his face stiffly glanced at the indifferent expression of the old man. He wanted to argue but he knew the old man stuck to whatever price he had in his mind, he had never changed his mind.
"Alright, I will like three of them." The old man frowned and glanced toward Erian with his palm outstretched.
Erian gritted his teeth and brought out 2500 Bronx, giving them to the old man. "Old man, if you keep on being ruthless like this, you won't get any customers!"
"Hmph!" Erian snorted, taking off with the three vials in hand. Just now, he was happy he had been gained 27,000 Bronx in the blink of an eye and just now, he doesn't even have enough cash to feed himself the next morning.
Inside a mountain of metal-glass syringes, Erian was seated in a hand-made shelter within. After many years of scavenging within the Nuclear Waste Station, Erian had created his own personal shelter within a particularly large mountain of syringes two years ago. Someplace where he could be when he wanted to be alone. Or when he couldn't meet up with the requirements and had been cast outside.
There wasn't too much space within, but it was enough for Erian to practise without being disturbed by external factors. And it was also well hidden. The only con was the suffocating heat, but with his strength, it was barely affecting him.
Erian's body was shining brightly due to the fluid he had rubbed over all of his body. He injected half of the fluid into his bloodstream and rubbed half all over his body. According to the system, this was the most efficient method of using the fluid.
Erian then began to practice the Eternal Physique Optimization Art. He wasn't 5 minutes in when he started to feel a breakthrough coming in.
Erian didn't stop his breakthrough but instead flowed along with it. Streams and streams of nuclear energy were being sucked into his body from the atmosphere, but it was hardly enough for a breakthrough.
"Add more nuclear energy." Just as he said this, his system's energy capacity decreased, steadily increasing his body energy capacity.
In the blink of an eye, one thousand points of energy had been used up but it didn't seem to be enough for the breakthrough. Erian's face darkened. Just how much nuclear energy would be used up for a simple breakthrough? He wasn't even breaking through to level seven which was the hardest before level nine.
He was only breaking through to level four!
Roughly after an hour, his body shivered slightly and goosebumps appeared all over his skin as a crisp pi pa pa sound resounded from within him.
Feeling refreshed Erian clenched his fist tightly and he felt a hidden strength erupt from within his body. This was only level four? He couldn't help but be surprised.
He felt he had the strength to beat a level seven with just one fist and rival a level eight expert in a decent fight. This was true strength.
"A few more levels to go." The Eternal Physique Optimization Art has 12 levels instead of the normal nine levels of the Rudimentary Cell Rejuvenating Technique.
"It's really worthy to be called a legendary art." Erian muttered happily at his increase in strength. If he fought with the Twin-horned Crocodile now, he wouldn't be as miserable as before.
But still, this strength wasn't enough to venture unhindered within the deeper parts of the Waste Station. Moreover, there was still the matter of a forest even deeper within the waste station. Undoubtedly, more stronger and ferocious monsters reside within.
Glancing at his status, Erian was astounded.
[Name: Erian Falstone]
[Level: Four]
[Nuclear Energy: 4186/(350)]
[Strength: 10.3]
[Agility: 10.7]
[Vitality: 10.3]
[Nuclear Pulse Talent: Two star(Low-grade)<Upgradable>(10000)]
[Name: Eternal Physique Optimization Art(Legendary Tier, low-grade)]
An increase of 189 nuclear points? Erian smiled and even his attributes was equivalent to that of a level eight expert! How could be bit be happy? This technique was just too godly!
Erian didn't delay any longer. The Aqua-Fiend Fluid Extract will be very effective in the first four hours then the effectiveness will be halved every hour until the eight hours time is used up. Therefore, be spent the entirety of the afternoon practising!
