Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrunk by 10 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals.
At the same time, a blackish-green air current also abruptly emerged from the depths of his blood vessels and flowed rapidly into his limbs, body, veins, bones, and skin. It flowed into every inch of Meng Lei’s body, rapidly modifying and strengthening it.
“Here it comes again...”
The intense agony and sharp pain that accompanied the strengthening process assailed Meng Lei’s pain receptors, reaching straight into the bones and burning his insides. It was much, much more intense than when he’d assimilated the Golden Colossal Dragon bloodline previously!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Meng Lei let out a muffled grunt and clutched Sacas’ fur. If he could, he really wished he could blackout and get it over and done with.
Unfortunately, when one’s spiritual power was as powerful as his, how would they possibly pass out that easily?
He couldn’t! Therefore, the only thing he could do was to endure it!
In that case, then that was what he would do!
Upon sensing Meng Lei’s abnormality, Sacas couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong, Boss?”
Meng Lei growled in a low voice, “Don’t bother with me. Just focus on moving!”
“Understood!”
For some reason, Meng Lei’s low growl seemed to contain a boundless sense of majesty that gave Sacas shivers from the depths of its soul. It hurriedly buried its head into traveling and asked no more.
The whole modification process lasted roughly half an hour before it ended. Although it was a painful process, the results were encouraging!
The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate had successfully risen to 2%!
Apart from that, the biggest change was in his Physical Body Constitution—it had doubled and reached an astonishing 24.1 billion points!
Prior to this, it had been 12 billion points, but it had now reached 24.1 billion points. It had totally doubled!
In other words, at the same time, his Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate was being raised by 1%, his Physical Body Constitution had also increased by 12 billion points along the way!
Had he redeemed the 12 billion Physical Body Constitution points via credit, he’d have needed 120 billion gold coins to do that.
What a worthwhile transaction! It couldn’t get any more worthwhile!
Not to mention that his speed and defenses had definitely received a great boost, too!
It was absolutely no exaggeration to say that the practical benefits that Meng Lei’d received had far surpassed the value of 100 billion gold coins.
To sum it up in one sentence, these 100 billion gold coins were simply too well-spent!
“I’ve earned big! This is way more efficient than pure credit redemption.
“I don’t need to spend on Physical Body Constitution anymore in the future. If I want to spend on credit redemption, I can just put it all into the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline assimilation rate. It’s obviously way more cost-effective! It’s just that the process is a little more painful...”
Meng Lei took a breath and steamed off the perspiration and bloodstains on himself. Then, he continued to browse his personal stats interface.

“Now that I’ve boosted my absolute combat strength, it’s time for the game!”
Meng Lei switched into a comfortable position and laid down. Then, he took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
“System, I want to use the Limitless Pickup function!”
The system’s icy-cold voice rang out. “Ding! 1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal is required for the usage of this function. May I know if you’d like to use it?”
“Yes! I’m loaded with cash!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth instantly shrunk by 1 Law of Nature Origin Crystal.
Following that, a system notification also rang out a few seconds later. “Ding! Assimilation successful. Host’s wealth +1 million gold coins!”
(⊙_⊙)?
Meng Lei was dumbfounded.
“Host’s Wealth +1 million gold coins? What does that mean? I spent 10 billion gold coins just to pick up 1 million gold coins?
“What the actual f*ck!!! What a huge loss! This is a terrible loss! 10 billion gold coins just to pick up something like this?!
“I won’t take this lying down! Again!”
“Ding! 1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal is required for the usage of this function. May I know if you’d like to use it?”
“Yes!”
Whoosh!
His Wealth shrunk by 1 Law of Nature Origin Crystal again.
The system’s icy-cold voice rang out. “Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve obtained a branch from the Tree of Vitality!”
“A... Branch from the Tree of Vitality?”
Rather flabbergasted, Meng Lei hastily took it out for inspection. An emerald green tree branch approximately one-meter-long appeared in his hand.
A split second later, a surge of vitality emanated from it, revitalizing and refreshing Meng Lei and sweeping away his fatigue.
“Boss!”
Upon sensing the vitality surge, Sacas turned his head at once.
“Where did you get something like that, brat?”
It had caught Ol’ Amos’ attention, too. He emerged from the spatial ring and gazed in astonishment at the green tree branch in Meng Lei’s hand.
“Do you recognize this thing, Ol’ President?” asked Meng Lei.
“Duh! If I can’t even recognize something like that, wouldn’t I have lived these tens of thousands of years in vain?”
Ol’ Amos rolled his eyes. Then, he picked up the tree branch and took a light sniff. As if an opium addict that had caught a whiff of opium, a look of revelry and infatuation appeared on his face at once!
“A branch from the Tree of Vitality! This is definitely a branch from the Tree of Vitality!
“This is good
