Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 55: Chapter 52: Recruitment

In the bedroom, Lu Li was pondering the heat sensation in his abdomen.

He mused, ”I ate much more than usual last night, so the energy produced is naturally much more than before. Could it be that Little Golden Man couldn’t process it all at once, causing it to accumulate in my body?”

He felt a tinge of excitement about this latest discovery.

Previously, after his stomach had evolved, Lu Li had been contemplating whether it had any special functions. Unfortunately, he hadn’t found anything remarkable, except for knowing how much food to ingest.

This new discovery today let Lu Li learn about a new function.

The evolved stomach not only can instantly digest food and inform him how much to eat, but it also seems to have the capability to store energy.

Lu Li was quite curious, ”In martial arts novels, there’s Inner Power, and in fantasy novels, there’s true Qi. Could the energy stored in my belly be released to harm enemies like Inner Power or true Qi?”

His usual approach was to try as soon as he thought of something.

Lu Li focused his breath in his abdomen, stretched out his hand, and pushed forward.

A stunning scene unfolded.

Nothing happened!

”Uh...” Lu Li was dumbfounded, ”I clearly felt I could mobilize the stored energy in my body, so why couldn’t I make it work?”

This was something he couldn’t figure out for now.

He decided to find another time to study it thoroughly later.

Although the stored energy in his body couldn’t yet be released like Inner Power or true Qi, Lu Li discovered that this stored energy wasn’t entirely useless.

At the very least, he was constantly evolving even while awake.

He actually noticed this earlier and had even determined that, in at most half an hour, his combination skills superpower would be completed.

Lu Li felt a bit excited. Previously, he only evolved a little each day when he fell into a deep sleep. Once the energy was depleted, the evolution would stop, only resuming after recharging and entering deep sleep again.

Now that his stomach could store energy, it was evolving almost the entire time, saving a considerable amount of time.

As for why Little Golden Man kept working while he was awake, he hadn’t figured it out yet.

One thing was certain, which was that the ”workload” of Little Golden Man made him feel mentally fatigued.

For example, right now, Lu Li felt like his soul was exhausted, nothing like the refreshing feeling after waking up.

...

After breakfast.

Drove to work.

Stopped the car at a red light.

It was at this moment that he discovered the channels between his nose and brain were finally connected!

The combination skills superpower of his nose being able to see scents was finally complete!

He immediately became curious about the effect of this combination skills superpower.

With over a minute left before the red light turned green, Lu Li closed his eyes to try and see what surprises his combination skills superpower might bring him.

He hoped it wouldn’t disappoint.

Thinking this, he activated the combination skills superpower and began to sniff the surroundings.

As soon as he activated his super sense of smell, various scents flooded in.

During the morning rush hour, the smell of car exhaust was particularly strong.

Of course, there were many other scents as well.

Such as the smell of sunlight.

The scent of a woman’s perfume.

Or perhaps...

The particularly foul smell from someone who didn’t wash their feet at night.

If it were just like this, it might not seem surprising.

In fact, when Lu Li activated this combination skill, what he experienced was far more than just smelling scents.

Even with his eyes closed, a clear picture of bustling traffic appeared ”before his eyes.”

The surrounding cars formed a long dragon, all different colors and brands, nearly all visible at a glance.

In front was a red Mercedes A-Class.

To the left was a black Volvo.

The bicycle lane was crowded with electric scooters.

Mixed among them were a few shared bicycles.

From people’s clothing to facial expressions, everything inside cars was in clear view.

Lu Li clearly ”saw” a young woman in a white short dress inside a white Nissan to his right, touching up her makeup with a Dior lipstick, and a delivery guy on an electric scooter trying to run a red light.

All of this, although he smelled the scents, under the simulation of his powerful spiritual power, presented a complete virtual scene in his mind.

Suddenly, Lu Li ”saw” Brother Cheng smoking in the car on the lane next to his.

To verify if the scene he ”saw” was accurate, he dialed Brother Cheng’s number immediately.

Beep, beep beep.

The call was quickly connected.

Brother Cheng said, ”Deputy Manager Lu, calling me so early in the morning, is there something up?”

Lu Li hadn’t opened his eyes but could still ”see” that the red light had 50 seconds left.

He said, ”Oh, I think I saw your car, wanted to ask if you’re on Shihu Road.”

Brother Cheng replied puzzled, ”Yes, I’m on Shihu Road, but why didn’t I see your car?”

In Lu Li’s ”view,” he observed Brother Cheng looking around, seemingly searching for his car.

Sure enough, the sense of smell could indeed visualize images!

After confirming, Lu Li was about to say something vague and hang up.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly ”saw” Brother Cheng reaching below his seat...

He said, speechless, ”Brother Cheng, do you have hemorrhoids?”

Brother Cheng exclaimed in shock, ”How did you know that?”

Lu Li: ”...”

Alright, this combination skills superpower is pretty amazing. It can indeed let me smell scents and then use powerful spiritual power to simulate detailed images in my mind.
