The existence of the black market could only be found from bits and pieces of information on the Internet.
But really, it was no longer a secret.
Lu Li had also heard of it.
More than 300 kilometers west of Rao Shui Town, there was such a black market.
That was a place between a safe zone and a dangerous zone.
The so-called safe zone was an area protected by the state and city guards. It was orderly and protected against Spirit Beasts.
The Dangerous Zone was extremely deadly and lawless.
The Infinite Great Wall separated the safe zone from the dangerous zone.
And the so-called black market existed in that kind of place.
Buying and selling things in the black market was generally much cheaper than in the outside world. 50,000 dollars worth of nutrient solutions could be bought in the black market for 40,000, or even 30,000 dollars.
Moreover, no transaction information would be recorded.
At the same time, no one could guarantee that the things they bought were genuine.
Whether the goods were real or fake, that was up to the buyers to decide.
Once the money was paid and the goods were delivered, there was no such thing as a refund.
What Lu Li took a fancy to was its anonymity.
As long as it was handled properly, no one would find out that it was him who was selling the spiritual power bottles.
Although there were people who sold things anonymously on the Internet, it would be hard to prove that such a bottle of spiritual energy would be genuine. Naturally, they wouldn’t buy them.
Moreover, once he sent the items over, he would have to fill in his information. Even if the information he filled in was fake, the other party would still have a way to locate him.
There would still be a risk of exposing himself.
The black market was much simpler.
However, Lu Li had only heard of the existence of the black market. He did not know the exact location of the so-called black market.
Moreover, for a distance of more than 300 kilometers, even if he knew of the location, Lu Li, who still had to go to school, would not be able to go.
If Lu Li had such a problem, others would have it too.
Hence.
There exists the middleman.
The middleman was someone who earned the fees for handling transportation and the difference in price between buying and selling.
There were people like this in every town. They hid in various second-hand markets all year round.
As these middlemen had always adhered to the principle of only helping to sell and not helping to buy, the city guards and the major pharmaceutical companies also had a much more relaxed control over them.
There were also some trade secrets that Lu Li did not understand in depth.
After all, his goal was just to sell the spiritual energy bottle in his hand.
After understanding the situation, Lu Li decided to go to the second-hand market after he finished his cultivation in the cemetery the next day.
With this in mind, Lu Li continued reviewing his textbooks.
This time, he began to review his primary school textbooks.
Primary school textbooks were extremely simple to review. With the memory potion and his 300-point Spiritual Power Index memory and comprehension ability, this sort of textbook was simply too simple.
It only took under 20 minutes to read through the 1st-grade Language textbook.
Because there wasn’t much content, to begin with.
Although the content of the textbook was different from his previous life, the core of the teaching methods was the same. Primary school language was to teach the students to read and at the same time, to increase the students’ reading comprehension and ability to learn composition.
After Lu Li finished reading, the System concluded the results:
[Learning Points + 91]!
[Spirit Ascension + 1]!
“I’ve mastered it with only 91 points gained?”
Lu Li was surprised and opened the System interface.
Sure enough, the learning progress showed 91%, which meant that 1% of progress was equivalent to 1 Learning Point.
It was pitifully little.
What was worthy of praise was that 1 Spirit Ascension Point, and that the whole book only took under 20 minutes to read.
“However, it’s still too little.”
If it didn’t give the 1 Spirit Ascension Point, he wouldn’t be willing to continue reading.
Thinking of this, Lu Li had no choice but to continue reading the second volume of the 1st-grade textbook.
This time, he read even faster, just like how he read novels in his previous life. He only needed to take a glance to roughly understand it before turning the page.
This way, he only needed under ten minutes to finish reading a primary school language book.
Lu Li read twelve books in a row.
All of their learning progress was above 90%.
At this time, it was time for dinner.
After having dinner with his family and Liu Shi Ting, Lu Li returned to his room.
This time, he opened up a primary school math textbook.
Math was a sore subject for Lu Li. Since he was young, he couldn’t do math. Although he could easily add, subtract, multiply, and divide. But when it came to algebra, it was hard for him, who loved to play and didn’t listen to classes much.
If he wanted to review middle school and high school mathematics, then the basic theories of primary school mathematics could not be skipped.
As he thought about it, Lu Li started to seriously study his 1st-grade mathematics book.
After flipping through the mathematics book.
[Learning Points + 92]!
[Physique + 1]!
This was the first time Lu Li had mastered mathematics. He didn’t expect that the attribute points given weren’t spirit ascension!
“Physique, as in my body’s constitution?”
Lu Li was puzzled, but his body quickly gave him an answer.
A feeling of strength immediately emerged from his body. Although it was very little, it was just as Lu Li had thought. It was to strengthen one’s constitution.
“Not only constitution but also strength?”
In other words, this physique attribute could not only increase one’s endurance, but also strength?
Lu Li’s eyes lit up. He hurriedly opened the second volume of the 1st-grade math textbook.
1st-grade was all about addition and subtraction. It was extremely simple. Easily achieved 91% in their learning progress.
As for 2nd-grade, they began to introduce the concept of multiplication. 6 multiplication mnemonics, 9 multiplication mnemonics. As he continued to read, 90% of learning progress was eventually achieved as well.
3rd-grade started to teach decimals, rounding up numbers, two-digit and three-digit multiplications. It was also easy for him to achieve 90% in the learning progress.
The reason why Lu Li could not reach 100%, should be due to the many brain teaser exercises in the book.
These math problems were no longer of simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, but also required a certain level of understanding to be able to do it.
Lu Li had always felt that this kind of brain teaser was a pain in the ass. He was too lazy to do any mental arithmetic, so he directly skipped over.
The things taught from 4th-grade had started to increase. He had to start using rulers and calculating the measurement of angles, which also made Lu Li’s head hurt.
His reading speed had slowed down considerably.
Moreover, after reading through two 4th-grade mathematics textbooks, his learning progress had only reached 88% and 86% respectively!
He couldn’t even get up to 90%.
“Damn it!”
Lu Li flipped open a 5th-grade book and was about to start learning algebra. This time, Lu Li read even more slowly.
However, he still could rely on his past life’s memory and managed to barely get his learning progress above 85%.
Opening the 6th-grade textbook. Radiuses, percentages, statistics, Lu Li’s head started to hurt.
He couldn’t help but ask himself, why do I have to read math books and torture myself?
Fortunately, after reading the two 6th-grade textbooks, he still managed to get above 80%.
“It’s gratifying that it didn’t drop below 80%.”
Although the reading process was very painful, he still managed to finish it. All those 80% and above learning progresses gave him 12 points of physique in one go!
Lu Li could feel that his strength had increased by a lot.
A series of crackling sounds could be heard as he raised his hands and feet.
“This feels great!”
The feeling of having his body improved made him infatuated.
“I’ve finished my mathematics revision. Next, it’s time for moral studies.”
The moral study textbooks were all about teaching people how to conduct themselves and establish their values. They were all content that could be memorized by rote.
After Lu Li finished reading the first moral study textbook.
[Learning Points + 99]!
[Mental Vigor + 1]!
It was another brand new attribute point!
However, when this mental vigor was added to his body, it only made Lu Li dizzy for a moment. He didn’t feel any special changes.
Lu Li then read all the other books, music, art, labor, sports, and IT.
Sure enough, all these textbooks had corresponding attribute points.
These points were from four different categories.
Spirit Ascension, Physique, Mental Vigor, and Agility.
After discovering a way to obtain other attribute points, Lu Li was especially excited that night. He read books that only needed to be memorized by rote, increasing the speed of his reading.
He stayed up until six in the morning the next day. As the sky started to brighten, he finally finished reading all his primary school textbooks.
This crazy revision gave Lu Li 12 spirit ascension points, 36 physique points, and 36 mental vigor points!
As well as 7,879 Learning Points!
He read more than 80 books for nearly 13 hours!
This was the first time Lu Li stayed up so late. In his previous life, he had stayed up all night in an internet cafe, but he couldn’t help but fall asleep in front of the computer when it was 4 or 5 am.
Who would have thought that the first time he stayed up until 6 am was actually because of a study revision!

If he told Lu Ling and Jiang Xu about it, they wouldn’t believe him.
Lu Li looked at the additional attribute points in the System interface, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but rise. Finally, his heavy eyelids closed.
Lu Li laid in bed, satisfied, in a deep sleep..
