Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 212: Chapter 195: Thousand-Mile Eye, Downwind Ear

At night, back to New York.

As soon as Shen Xia swiped her card inside, she couldn’t help but collapse onto the sofa, ”Phew, I’m exhausted.”

Lu Li looked at her; she had no ladylike demeanor at all, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

To be honest, he quite enjoyed the kind of straightforward relationship he had with Shen Xia, where neither had complicated thoughts.

Just the round trip on the plane today took over eight hours.

And there were connecting rides and such.

It could be said that they spent over ten hours in transit.

It was only natural that Shen Xia was exhausted.

Lu Li sat down beside her, ”If you’re tired, take a shower and get some rest early. You have to get up early tomorrow.”

Shen Xia was really worn out, laying there limply, ”I’ll rest a bit more before taking a shower, too tired to get up.”

Lu Li felt a bit uneasy seeing her like this.

He asked, ”I know some traditional medicine, want me to give you a massage to relieve the fatigue?”

Shen Xia turned her head, somewhat surprised, ”You know traditional medicine too?”

Lu Li joked, half-serious, ”Of course, quite a few people call me a miracle doctor.”

If it were before, Shen Xia might think Lu Li was joking and respond with a joke of her own.

But after yesterday’s events, she found herself taking Lu Li’s words quite seriously.

Yesterday Lu Li said he was a Gambling God.

Shen Xia didn’t believe it at the time.

Yet that night, she saw him win over 100 million US Dollars at the casino like it was nothing.

Now Lu Li says he’s a miracle doctor.

Of course, Shen Xia instinctively believed him.

She asked curiously, ”Lu Li, I think you’re amazing. Not only are you so talented in physics, but you’re also incredible at gambling, and now you know medicine too. How do you find the energy to learn so many things?”

Lu Li teased her, ”If I say I’m a once-in-a-millennium genius, would you believe me?”

Unlike yesterday, Shen Xia nodded slightly, ”I believe it.”

Lu Li wanted to boast a bit more.

Seeing that she believed everything he said, he suddenly lost interest.

He changed the subject, ”Hey, how about I give you a massage?”

Mentioning this, Shen Xia’s face flushed slightly, ”...No need, forget it, I’ll go shower first.”

With that said, she struggled to get up and walked toward the guest room.

Lu Li naturally noticed her flushed cheeks just now.

At the time he was a bit baffled.

He didn’t understand why she blushed.

He thought about it and understood why.

Things like massage inevitably involve some physical contact.

Shen Xia might have thought that being alone with him in one room, he had some untoward thoughts, so she blushed.

Realizing this, Lu Li felt a bit helpless.

He was indeed very hungry, and seeing a pretty woman, he might have some thoughts.

Admittedly, although Shen Xia wasn’t particularly stunning, her pure looks could definitely pique his interest.

But the truth was, he really hadn’t considered any intentions toward Shen Xia.

The reason being, Lu Li really liked the current mode of interaction with her, without the slightest agenda, very relaxed.

”Oh, how she’s mistaken me.”

Lu Li shook his head, not bothering with how Shen Xia viewed him.

He began to ponder his own situation.

Since the third deep evolution, he did some tests, but he was quite busy in the following days and didn’t fully understand his abilities.

Now, with some rare free time, Lu Li wanted to experiment with some superpowers he hadn’t explored.

”Previously, I studied superpowers related to the biological field; abilities gained from my body’s evolution, but haven’t tried them.”

Lu Li firstly focused on his throat area, ”The third deep evolution not only strengthened my body but also unlocked some capabilities in various bodily aspects, such as the vocal cords. According to what Little Golden Man conveyed, my vocal cords can now mimic all kinds of sounds, like vocal mimicry, and even use energy rays to perform sonic attacks.”

Whether to use sonic attacks or not didn’t really matter.

Having a biological field made other attack methods secondary.

It would only be if I ran out of energy that I’d need to rely on the inherent abilities of my body.”

But he was quite interested in the ability to mimic sounds.

After all, he could already transform into others’ appearances to some extent.

The only issue was that he couldn’t change his voice, so speaking would easily give him away.

Now, having the ability to mimic voices.

It seemed to have thoroughly compensated for the fatal flaw of his transformational skill.

”Who should I try mimicking?”

Lu Li wanted to find a familiar voice to try.

Generally speaking, how one hears their own voice differs from how others hear it.

Simply put, one might not notice their own off-key singing, but others definitely would.

Thus, if Lu Li only used his own judgment, it might not be accurate.

He thought he should mimic a voice Shen Xia had heard before.

Let her judge whether his imitation was really accurate.

Thinking of this, Lu Li recalled the sound of the doorbell, then engaged his vocal cords to mimic it.

Ding dong, ding dong.

A sound nearly identical to the doorbell rang out.

Lu Li deliberately mimicked it for a while.

He wanted to see if Shen Xia heard it and if she would react.

The imitation of the doorbell rang several times, and Shen Xia’s voice came from the guest room, ”Lu Li, I’m, uh, busy, the doorbell rang, can you go answer it?”

Oh?

She took it seriously?

Lu Li couldn’t help but get interested; he responded in his own voice, then imitated the sound of opening the door, followed by mimicking Qin Liang’s voice, ”Mr. Lu, why not invite Miss Shen to come down for dinner?”

Lu Li returned to his own voice, ”Miss Shen is getting ready to shower, why don’t you ask her yourself?”

He once again mimicked Qin Liang’s voice and called out, ”Miss Shen, do you want to come down and have dinner with us?”

Shen Xia quickly responded, ”No, I’m a bit tired, planning to go to bed after I shower.”

Whoa!

It really seems to work!

Lu Li was delighted; the test result of imitating others’ voices was good.

He didn’t respond to Shen Xia anymore.

Lu Li started to ponder other superpowers.

”The second one to test is the eye-related superpower.”

Lu Li carefully recalled the superpowers his eyes had developed before, such as X-ray vision and night vision.

This time, with the third deep evolution, his eyes gained farsighted ability.

As for how far, the Little Golden Man didn’t tell him directly.

Lu Li stood up, walked to the bedside, activated his farsighted superpower, and gazed into the distance.

The next moment, he felt his vision penetrate layers of fog, seeing far away at once.

Soon, Lu Li figured out the limit of his vision.

He saw a platform called Medora Ranch Comprehensive Sports Station.

All the text and images on the sign were clear.

Beyond that, it became somewhat blurry.

Lu Li searched online.

He found that this place was about ten kilometers straight from the hotel he was staying in.

”Wow, I can actually see a bus stop ten kilometers away with the naked eye?”

Lu Li suddenly laughed, ”At this rate, if I undergo deep evolution one more time, I might really have the legendary Thousand-Mile Eye.”

He was very satisfied with his farsighted ability.

Lu Li turned off the farsighted ability.

Then closed his eyes.

He started testing how strong his hearing was.

Activating the strongest hearing test...

Boom!

A burst of noise suddenly invaded his ears!

Lu Li instantly felt as if he had been thrown into a disco hall.

Despite the discomfort, he endured it as much as possible to test his hearing.

After a little while, he gradually got used to this hearing ability and began to truly listen to how far he could hear.

This time, Lu Li was a bit perplexed.

After all, hearing is not like vision, which can find references and then search for distances on the phone.

”How can I test how far my hearing range is?”

Just as Lu Li was frowning in thought.

Suddenly, he heard Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, Wang Yu, and the others chatting.

Zhang Guocheng: ”I just got the news, the person is still in California.”

Xiaolin: ”Once Mr. Lu finishes his business, we’ll go to California to catch the person directly.”

Zhang Guocheng: ”Alright, everyone go upstairs and get some sleep in your rooms, we had a long day today...”

Oh!

Zhang Guocheng, Xiaolin, and the others were downstairs in the hotel.

Lu Li remembered that Zhang Guocheng, Wang Yu, and Xiaolin were not staying in the same hotel as him.

There seemed to be some distance between them.

Probably around three to four kilometers.

He remembered this distance.

Lu Li continued to test the range of his hearing.

His hearing extended very far.

About twice the distance to the hotel where Zhang Guocheng and the others were staying.

”It should be around seven to eight kilometers, although there’s no exact data, it’s roughly correct.”

Lu Li didn’t need to know the exact range, knowing approximately was enough.

He turned off the upgraded super hearing.

Lu Li sat there, pondering, ”Now I can test how much my spiritual power has increased. This stuff relates directly to my combat power; I need to test it properly.”

Thinking about it, he was ready to fully activate his spiritual power to conduct a test.

He hadn’t had the chance to activate his spiritual power yet.

Lu Li heard a noise from the secondary bedroom.

He instinctively turned his head to look.

Click.

The door opened.

Shen Xia, wearing only underwear, came out with her clothes in her arms.

Lu Li: ”...”

Shen Xia seemed surprised to see Lu Li still there, then let out an ”ah” and quickly retreated.

She hid behind the door, ”Weren’t you going downstairs to eat?”

Lu Li couldn’t exactly say he was just testing his superpowers, could he?

Besides, he had indeed been ”playing” with the other person just now, without acknowledging it.

Such things are hard to admit.

Especially in a situation like this.

People might easily think of him as a pervert.

Even though he actually was, Lu Li didn’t want others to see him that way.

So he decided to accuse first, ”Why did you come out not dressed?”

Originally a bit panicked, Shen Xia’s tone weakened upon hearing Lu Li’s questioning, ”I... my clothes were all sticky, I thought you’d gone downstairs to eat, so I wanted to throw them directly into the washing machine... didn’t expect you were still here.”

Seeing that he got away with it, Lu Li pretended and said, ”I didn’t go. Next time, be more careful. Luckily, you’re sharing a roof with a gentleman like me. If it were someone else who saw you, who knows what they might have done? Alright, I’m going back to my room now. You can come to the bathroom later.”

Shen Xia helplessly replied, ”Okay.”

Lu Li chuckled to himself and stood up.

He walked toward his bedroom.

Once in his bedroom.

Lu Li took one last look outside, ”Okay, you can come out now.”

Shen Xia responded.

Outside, footsteps could be heard heading towards the bathroom.

Lu Li broke out in a sweat, thinking to himself that he was lucky to have reacted quickly just now, otherwise Shen Xia would really think he was a creep.

Think about it, though he barely saw anything, Shen Xia’s skin seemed pretty fair...

Hey!

What am I thinking?

Lu Li was even speechless at himself.

Why did it seem like he’d become more lustful since the third deep evolution?

He quickly shook off those thoughts.

He was ready to try the spiritual power again.

Just then, the doorbell really went ”ding-dong, ding-dong.”

Immediately afterward, Qin Liang’s voice came from outside, ”Mr. Lu, Miss Shen, are you hungry? Want to come downstairs and eat something?”

Lu Li: ”...”
