Perhaps due to the significant increase in all his attributes, Bai Qiu’s appetite had grown tremendously.
What used to be enough to make him feel stuffed now barely served as a light snack.
Even Wang Renfeng was amazed, saying, “Normally, these high-level dishes are very filling. The fact that you can eat this much just shows how terrifyingly strong you’ve become!”
“Yeah, ever since I obtained a Transcendent Physique, my appetite has suddenly increased,” Bai Qiu said.
His appetite hadn’t grown gradually—it had surged several times over the moment he gained that physique.
Upon hearing “Transcendent Physique,” Li Shi didn’t react much, but Guinelia and Wang Renfeng immediately became alert, turning to look at him.
“You just said Transcendent Physique?!”
“What grade is it? B- or B? Which attribute does it enhance?!”
Seeing their reaction, Bai Qiu was first surprised, then quickly understood.
“My Transcendent Physique is a B+ grade—Holy Demonic Physique. It mainly boosts my mana.”
“Judging by your reactions… is a Transcendent Physique something very powerful? Can you tell me what you know?” he asked curiously.
He didn’t think there was any need to hide it.
Since both Guinelia and Wang Renfeng clearly knew what a Transcendent Physique was, he might as well share his situation—perhaps he could gain some useful information or advice.
Guinelia looked excited, then quickly forced herself to calm down and turned serious.
Wang Renfeng did the same.
They exchanged a glance and decided to let Guinelia speak first.
“A Transcendent Physique, as the name suggests, is a constitution that far surpasses ordinary people in a certain aspect. For a normal human, attributes can at most reach C++ level,” Guinelia explained seriously.
“Your Transcendent Physique is B+ grade! That means your mana can break past that limit and reach B+ level!”
Bai Qiu frowned.
Now that she mentioned it, he had noticed it too—before reaching C-rank, his attributes improved quickly.
But after reaching C-rank, even a small stage increase required nearly ten levels just to barely touch the next threshold.
By that calculation, without the Holy Demonic Physique, he would need to reach around level 50 just to bring all attributes to C++.
“In that case, does that mean the human level cap is only around level 50? Based on my estimate, it would take about that long to max out all attributes,” Bai Qiu continued.
At this point, Li Shi also leaned in, listening intently to this shocking information.
Wang Renfeng shook his head.
“The level cap for the first stage is actually 40. The reason we say the human limit is C++ across all attributes is because even after reaching the level cap, you can still improve your remaining attributes to C++ through methods like consuming rare treasures or training.
As for breaking the level cap, you’ll need to obtain special resources that the system will release later. These resources allow for a second advancement of your class, which also lets you break both the level cap and the limit of a specific attribute.
But the resources distributed by the system are extremely scarce. Many people spend their entire lives stuck at level 40!”
Guinelia flicked her ears and said, “This kind of information was supposed to be widely shared after three months. I didn’t expect you to obtain a Transcendent Physique in just ten days… that’s really…”
At that moment, Zhang Shiyao came running over.
She had been looking around anxiously, but the moment she spotted Bai Qiu, her eyes lit up and she ran straight toward him.
“Big brother, why haven’t you been checking your private messages?” she interrupted Guinelia’s explanation about Transcendent Physiques and complained to Bai Qiu.
“I really didn’t notice. What happened?” Bai Qiu asked.
As he spoke, he had already opened his private messages, checking the chats from Zhang Shiyao, Ning Xingxue, and the others.
“Big Sister Xue said that the big brother named Huang Qi drank a mental power potion and then passed out. Something’s really wrong with him. She said she couldn’t reach you through private messages, so she asked me to find you and ask what to do.”
Based on the messages, it was roughly the same as what Zhang Shiyao said.
Ning Xingxue had even sent him a photo of Huang Qi after drinking the mental power potion.
In the picture, Huang Qi’s temples were abnormally bulging, and his entire body had undergone a drastic change.
Everything above his neck was severely flushed, making him look like a fully cooked shrimp.
This reminded Bai Qiu of the warning note on the mental power potion recipe…
“Slightly stronger effects” my ass—this thing is trying to kill someone?!
Judging by the timestamps, the earliest message was sent about six hours ago, asking about the reward he had received.
Huang Qi had collapsed about forty minutes ago.
It seemed that when Ning Xingxue couldn’t find him, she directly went to Zhang Shiyao to relay the message.
Bai Qiu felt a bit helpless—this was one of the downsides of muting system notifications.
When he was focused on other things and didn’t check his messages regularly, he couldn’t respond immediately when something happened.
At that moment, a newly added system feature caught his attention—Message Pinning!
[After using this function on a specific friend, you will still receive a separate notification when they send a message, even if system notifications are turned off.]
After pinning all five of his friends, Bai Qiu finally replied to Ning Xingxue,
“Send me the location. I’ll be there immediately.”
Splash! — a distinct sound of something hitting water rang out, and Ning Xingxue replied instantly.
“Okay! Finally got through to you. We’ll just drag him to the billboard area!”
“Alright.”
After finishing that, Bai Qiu turned to Zhang Shiyao and asked, “Have you had dinner yet?”
“Mm… not yet,” she replied obediently.
Looking at the delicious food everyone else hadn’t finished, she couldn’t help but swallow.
“Well, since things have come to this, let’s eat first. Boss, add more dishes!” Bai Qiu said, turning to Guinelia.
“Do you have any potions that can restore mental damage or something like that? A friend of mine drank a very potent mental power potion and passed out. Judging by the situation, the damage is probably serious.”
That was exactly why Bai Qiu hadn’t left yet—he wanted to gather some information first.
Even with his special physique, he wasn’t confident he could deal with mental side effects.
Guinelia tilted her head and thought for a while.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “Yes! I do!”
She reached toward her chest.
Seeing this, Bai Qiu immediately turned his head away awkwardly.
Meanwhile, Li Shi stared straight at her without blinking, swallowing his food before even chewing.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
As expected, he choked.
From the moment Guinelia reached into her chest, Bai Qiu had already guessed what she was trying to take out—it was just that the location of her storage item easily led to… misunderstandings.
