Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 54: Chapter 51: Combo Skill Superpower

Nathan gained six hundred and twenty thousand, feeling quite excited inside.

He couldn’t calm down for a while, always thinking about spending some money to satisfy his urge to consume.

”But what exactly should I buy?” Nathan blinked, ”The weather is getting hot again lately, I should get some new clothes.”

Yes, clothes are a must!

How can you not change into new outfits with this hot weather?

Nathan pondered secretly, ”Before, when I had a little bit of money, I just bought things like Adidas and Nike, but now that I have real money, shouldn’t I buy some luxury brands?”

If you don’t treat yourself well with money, then what’s the point of earning it?

Nathan suddenly made a decision to buy luxury items on his next day off, something like Gucci or Dior.

”Buying luxury brand clothes and pants shouldn’t cost too much.”

He sat there, continuing to think, ”Or... should I change my car?”

Although the Camry drives well, it’s ultimately a company asset, and if I resign, I’d have to return it; it doesn’t count as my own car.

”What kind of car should I buy?”

Nathan picked up his phone and opened Dongchedi, scrolling continuously.

Even though he currently only had eight hundred and eighty thousand, Nathan still wanted to buy a luxury car worth over a million.

After all, with his superpowers, making money wasn’t such a difficult thing.

Naturally, the car couldn’t be of poor quality.

He browsed for about an hour.

In the end, Nathan was temporarily inclined towards two cars.

The first was a Porsche 911.

There’s nothing much to say about this, it’s super flashy to drive around in.

The second was the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The reputation of Mercedes is indisputable.

Even elderly folks in rural areas know about it.

When others see you driving a Mercedes, no matter what series, they instinctively think that you’re wealthy and a successful person.

Nathan actually wished he could afford the Mercedes S600, but the price was a bit steep, even the cheapest was around two hundred and fifty to sixty thousand, and he didn’t have enough money on hand.

”How about buying the Porsche 911 first, and when I earn more money later, I’ll buy a Mercedes S600?”

Nathan thought while sipping water, ”Although sports cars are just for showing off, I currently have a company car and am not in a hurry to buy a Mercedes S600, showing off is enough for now.”

Alright!

Then I’ll work hard to make some money recently.

Strive to buy a Porsche 911!

Nathan secretly made up his mind.

Of course, this is just the current thought; it might change later.

For instance, if I earn more money, maybe I’ll directly go for a real luxury car like a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

...

Meanwhile, in the Vice President’s office.

Vice President Du, sitting behind the desk, was talking on the phone with a solemn expression.

He said in a displeased tone, ”How did you handle this? Last night’s livestream sales were a huge success, and the e-commerce sales department showed off in the company fiercely, plus Blazing Babe was signed at a giveaway price?”

The young woman on the other end of the phone repeatedly let out bitter laughter, ”Who could have expected Nathan’s popularity to be so high, saving the livestream room all of a sudden? And this guy is a bit sly; the surveillance cameras in our company meeting rooms are usually off if there’s nothing going on, but he not only had someone turn them on in advance but also enabled sound recording. Blazing Babe got caught with her hand in the cookie jar and, not wanting to get fired, had no choice but to sign with the company at a super low price.”

By rights, given this situation, Vice President Du should have been very angry.

However, listening to the voice in the phone, he didn’t show any trace of anger.

On the contrary, Vice President Du had a face full of admiration and said, ”Nathan does have some skills, it seems I underestimated him at first. It’s time to take him seriously now.”

The young woman hesitated and asked, ”Do you mean to find someone... to deal with him?”

”Hey, you, a girl, why are you always thinking about hitting and killing, how vulgar is that?” Vice President Du shook his head and said, ”I have always liked capable people, and Nathan is so skilled, I can barely have enough time to admire him. Tell you what, find an opportunity to arrange a private talk between me and him, I want to tame him, make him obediently be my dog!”

...

After work, going home.

Back at Poly Yuxi, Nathan made something to eat as soon as he got home.

After eating, he took a hot shower and lay in bed, manipulating two flying needles to keep spinning while thinking about how to make money in his head.

Ever since he realized he had strong spiritual power, he had been practicing controlling the flying needles.

Indeed, practicing was quite useful; after several days of training, he’d gone from being able to control only one needle to skillfully controlling two and barely controlling three, which was a huge improvement.

Nathan was very satisfied with this.

”Earning money with scratchcards using X-ray vision is an indisputable fact, but the speed of earning is a bit slow.”

Since receiving a two-hundred-thousand reward and raking in six hundred and twenty thousand from the company, he’s grown a bit disdainful of earning mere thousands through scratchcards.

”Betting on stones or gambling is possible, but currently not very realistic.”

Nathan immediately denied it, but he had made up his mind that when he went to New York for the Nathan Hot Dog Challenge finals, he had to visit Atlantic City, which wasn’t far from New York.

”From what it looks like right now, the fastest way to earn money in my spare time should be to get the bounty rewards.”

Nathan thought he could lean towards this direction, considering he had X-ray vision, super hearing, super smell, and strong spiritual power, as long as there was a slightest bit of information about a fugitive, the possibility of getting bounty rewards was significant.

”Let’s see if there are any suitable tasks in the police bounty list.”

He took out his phone and searched for the police bounty list.

I must say, there were quite a lot of bounty listings, but most of the reward amounts were relatively low.

Nathan even found a bit amusing that there were two people with bounty amounts of ”9 yuan” and ”19 yuan” respectively.

”Geez, a bounty of only nine yuan, what a disgrace to the fugitives.”

He was both amused and frustrated.

Nathan ignored those low-priced bounties and searched for bounties worth more than 100,000.

As soon as the webpage refreshed, many bounties over 100,000 popped up.

Bounties of a hundred to two hundred thousand didn’t interest Nathan at all.

In a pile of wanted notices, he found several with bounties of five hundred thousand, six hundred thousand, and even a million.

The first one he looked at had a million-dollar bounty.

As soon as Lu Li clicked on it, he saw the suspect’s photo, ID information, escape time, and a brief description and so on.

The suspect, named Bao Dinding, had been on the run for three years and was said to have committed serious criminal offenses.

Lu Li secretly memorized the information and continued to look at the other wanted notices.

The second wanted notice involved a gang member, with a bounty of six hundred thousand, a middle-aged man named Miao Feng.

The third wanted notice also involved a gang member, with a bounty of five hundred thousand, a young woman...

The fourth one...

The fifth one...

Lu Li spent over an hour on this.

He roughly memorized dozens of bounty notices worth over three hundred thousand.

Lu Li then eliminated some that were relatively far away.

Finally, he focused on seven or eight bounty notices in the city and surrounding areas.

He reviewed each of these wanted information to become more familiar with them.

Especially the appearances in the photos, which he imprinted firmly in his mind.

”Alright, I’ll go out every day after work, use my superpowers, and see if I can find one of these fugitives.”

Lu Li made a determination, ”However, my current superpower isn’t very conducive to searching for these fugitives I’ve never met. If I manage to develop the superpower to visualize scents quickly, perhaps the chances of capturing a fugitive would increase greatly.”

But actively developing superpowers requires abundant energy.

If he lets it happen naturally every day, it could take about ten more days to connect the ”fields” of his nose and brain.

Lu Li resolved fiercely, ”Damn it, isn’t it just energy? Can’t I just eat more?”

Ordinary people might overeat and burst their stomachs.

His evolved stomach wouldn’t have such an issue at all.

Because as soon as he swallowed food, it was immediately digested, so how could it burst his stomach?

Regarding safety, it was assured, but what Lu Li didn’t know was whether he could consume in one night the amount of energy needed for evolution by eating energetically.

Or whether his body had a fixed daily energy intake limit.

Although he didn’t understand this yet, he could give it a try.

Without hesitation, Lu Li picked up his phone and ordered a large amount of takeout.

Hmm, about the amount for a three-person family for seven days.

Of course, he understood flavor pairing, choosing various stir-fries, fried chicken, noodles, etc., everything he would need.

When the deliveries arrived one by one, Lu Li began eating wildly.

Of course, he wasn’t foolish; while eating, he would still sense if there was anything unusual in his body, and if he felt uncomfortable, he would stop immediately.

To his delight, despite devouring a huge amount of food like a glutton, his body showed no odd reactions.

After eating, drenched in sweat, Lu Li took a shower, brushed his teeth, and went to bed.

...

At night.

As usual, Lu Li had a dream of ”evolution.”

In the dream, the Little Golden Man awoke.

Perhaps because he ate too much tonight, his stomach was constantly emitting ”energy rays.”

The ”energy rays” were just too abundant, and the Little Golden Man seemed to struggle to handle them all.

Soon, a strange scene emerged.

The Little Golden Man gathered a lot of unprocessed energy rays onto itself.

Perhaps because the accumulated energy rays were somewhat grand, the Little Golden Man became bright as if it were a light bulb.

This situation continued throughout the night.

...

The next day, when waking up in the morning.

Lu Li felt somewhat fatigued but still quickly checked the development status of his combo technique superpower.

Previously, the channel between his nose and brain was only opened a millimeter or two. To his surprise upon checking, he found it had expanded to seven or eight centimeters.

It seemed like just a bit more effort, and it would be fully connected!

The combo technique channel had suddenly expanded from one or two millimeters to seven or eight centimeters and was about to be fully open?

Lu Li was a bit dazed and couldn’t believe it, asking himself, ”Did feasting actually work?”

He quickly examined his body, trying to see what was going on.

To his surprise, he did find something special; there was a warm current rising from his abdomen.

This warm current felt very similar to when the Little Golden Man was manipulating the energy rays while asleep.

Even though he was clearly awake at the moment, the Little Golden Man was still manipulating energy rays to evolve his body continuously.

Lu Li became even more confused, ”This isn’t right. Before, every time I evolved, the Little Golden Man worked when I was in deep sleep. How come now that I’m awake, the Little Golden Man is still evolving my body?”

He thought he was imagining it and tried to calm down and feel it carefully.

After a moment, with a strange look on his face, Lu Li realized it was no illusion at all.

He clearly sensed that the Little Golden Man was still working.

At that moment, the Little Golden Man continued to mobilize energy rays, concentrating them into his nose and brain, trying hard to connect the two ”fields.”

Lu Li calculated the development speed, ”Judging from the current situation, it seems that the channel could be opened within half an hour.”

He was very excited, thinking, ”In half an hour, could I finally have the combo technique superpower?”

Despite his excitement, Lu Li remained puzzled.

What exactly was the warm current in his belly?

And how could the Little Golden Man keep working while he was awake?
