Chapter 32

Of course, Lin Xinghai had no idea that one of his supposed hobbies, which was baseless, had actually been confirmed.

And it had spread far and wide...

Of course, even if he knew, he would... cough! Still be very concerned.

However, this also helped him in a way, at least it could cover up his actions.

Lin Xinghai had no time to care about what others thought; he happily opened the system panel.

The Blood Qi Power, which had been continuously used to improve his gun skills, had decreased to 61 points.

But at this moment, the data displayed on the system panel was as follows:

Host: Lin Xinghai

Constitution: 24 points

Strength: 20 points

Speed: 29 points

Blood Qi Power: 93 points

Gene Optimization Level: 29%+

Basic Shooting Skill: Proficiency 70%+

93 points of Blood Qi Power, how satisfying it was to look at!

Of course, the best part was yet to come. He secretly took out two bottles of gene serum from his pocket and drank them in one gulp.

As the system prompt sounded, when Lin Xinghai looked at the system panel again, his Blood Qi Power had increased to 103 points.

"Over 100, finally over 100!"

Lin Xinghai suppressed his excitement and then clicked the "+" sign next to the Gene Optimization Level.

A selection box popped up, and Lin Xinghai first chose "Awaken Special Ability."

Then he chose, "Consume 100 points of Blood Qi Power to awaken special ability."

As the system panel deducted 100 points of Blood Qi Power, Lin Xinghai felt a huge furnace appear inside his body, burning every corner of him.

This sudden pain made him groan and sweat profusely.

At the same time, a special aura began to emanate from him.

Qin Yang was the first to sense this aura, and he subconsciously thought his perception was wrong.

But when he glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Lin Xinghai's pained expression and red skin, he was instantly startled.

"How is this possible!" He couldn't believe it.

But the aura emanating from Lin Xinghai kept telling him that the other party was breaking the first gene lock.

The so-called gene lock only appears when the gene optimization level reaches 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100%.

If all four gene locks were broken, the life level would be elevated to another realm.

And now, Lin Xinghai was breaking the first gene lock.

In other words, his gene optimization level had reached 30%, and he was about to become a gene-optimized individual.

No matter how unbelievable it was for Qin Yang, after he reacted, he immediately slowed down and stopped the multi-functional off-road vehicle.

It was taboo to be disturbed while breaking a gene lock.

At worst, one might just spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, but at worst, one might be bedridden for months.

The stop of the off-road vehicle caught the attention of the entire team.

Luo Jie frowned and quickened his pace to catch up.

However, when he approached within three meters of the off-road vehicle, he also sensed an inexplicable aura.

His face changed, and he flashed to the side of the car window, staring intently at Lin Xinghai with disbelief.

The others, seeing the off-road vehicle stop and Luo Jie's expression, knew something was wrong and hurried over.

Without exception, when they approached within three meters of the off-road vehicle, their faces showed a look of shock.

"This is too exaggerated! It took me half a year to break the first gene lock and become a gene-optimized individual," Xu Haishui couldn't help but say.

"That's just because you were slow. It only took me three months," Wu Yan replied.

Xu Haishui was choked and somewhat angry, "That just proves you had a better job at the beginning. If I could have joined the mercenary group from the start, I could have broken through in a month at most."

"That's impossible. Your gene rating is only D-level. Even if you joined the mercenary group, you would only get one bottle of gene serum per week, four bottles a month. Even if you bought more, it wouldn't be enough for you to break through," Wu Yan said again, stating a fact that left Xu Haishui speechless.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward and silent. Xu Haishui decided not to speak to this emotionally stunted giant.

He turned to Luo Jie and asked, "Old Luo, I heard that you prepaid for Ah Xing's gene serum. How many bottles did you take out?"

"Six!" Luo Jie said after a brief silence.

"Six bottles? That's not enough to break through," Xu Haishui was surprised again.

He remembered that it took him over half a year and 17 bottles of gene serum to break through.

"Theoretically, it's possible," a cold voice said. Everyone turned to see Shen Han, who had come down from the mecha and was standing by the car.

She kept her eyes on Lin Xinghai, her gaze deep.

What she said was theoretically possible, but it required many prerequisites.

For example, Lin Xinghai's base gene had to reach 10% of the theoretical human limit.

Also, his gene rating needed to be A-level, allowing him to perfectly absorb the gene serum.

In that case, one bottle of gene serum could increase his gene optimization level by 5%, and two bottles could raise it from 10% to 20%.

After the gene optimization level exceeded 20%, the effect of the serum would be halved, but it would still only take four bottles to reach 30%.

But... did Lin Xinghai have the conditions to reach the theoretical limit?

She thought of this, and so did the others.

"Didn't you say his gene rating was B-level? And what I can't understand is his absorption speed of the gene serum..."

Xu Haishui raised his question again, but he was interrupted by Fang Tianhe, "Let's end this topic!"

He looked around and said, "As you guessed, Lin Xinghai is a bit special. How special, I'll keep it a secret for now. Also, you must keep today's events confidential."

"Our Sky Splitter Mercenary Group is still too weak. To become strong, strong enough that no one can shake us, we need a true strong individual."

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Go on guard! Don't let those zombies get close." Fang Tianhe finished and waved his hand.

The others listened and dispersed, their faces showing a thoughtful expression, and their eyes gradually becoming fiery.

At first, these people had some resistance, even jealousy, towards Lin Xinghai joining the mercenary group.

After all, they all knew that with Lin Xinghai's talent, he would eventually threaten their status.

But when the talent gap widened to a point where they could only look up to him, such comparisons naturally disappeared.

So, when Fang Tianhe described a beautiful future to them, a future that was closely related to their own interests, their thoughts naturally shifted in a completely different direction.

Who wouldn't want the Sky Splitter Mercenary Group to become strong? It would be even better if it could become a third-level mercenary group.

After seeing everyone disperse, Fang Tianhe leaned close to Shen Han's ear and asked, "What do you think?"

"His special constitution might allow him to perfectly absorb the gene serum, but his initial gene level couldn't possibly be 10%," Shen Han replied softly.

"You! Don't think too much. Everyone has some secrets, don't you?" Fang Tianhe patted her shoulder.

Shen Han's gaze involuntarily shifted to the side, and she nodded lightly.

Time passed, and five minutes later, the special aura around Lin Xinghai gradually subsided, and he opened his eyes.

From this moment on, he was a gene-optimized individual.
