Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Primordial Gene Primary Stage (Please Subscribe)

The box looked no larger than half a meter squared, yet it could hold thousands of Genetic Fragments. Moments later, a light emanated from the box, Gu Bo opened it and with a gesture, hundreds of red Genetic Potions appeared floating in the air.

Gu Bo used the same method to successively synthesize other potions. After several tens of minutes, there were about 500 bottles each of Strength, Agility, Defense, and Wisdom Genetic Potions floating in the air halfway up the Genetic Store, emitting a sparkling light.

Huang Wen and others brought over 58,000 Genetic Fragments. According to the synthesis ratio of ten fragments for one potion, minus 2 fragments as a commission, nearly 5,000 Genetic Potions could be synthesized, averaging about 500 portions per person.

Everyone, according to their Genetic Evolution Level from high to low, received the enhancements, with Yang Xiao being the first. Yang Xiao needed to improve his Defense; even though he already had 6 points of Defense, he sought to increase it by another 4 points.

With the increasing level of Genetic Evolution, Yang Xiao could drink ten doses of the Primordial Genetic Potion in one go without pausing.

Then, everyone sadly discovered that Yang Xiao had drunk about a hundred doses before he improved his Defense attribute by 1 point.

Long Yongjun and others looked at Yang Xiao in astonishment. At this rate, Yang Xiao alone would drink all the Genetic Potions.

Even Gu Bo was puzzled,

”I’ve lived so long, I’ve never seen such a situation. You only have 6 points in Defense, why is it so hard to increase it by 1 point?”

”Old man, how old are you anyway?”

Yang Xiao asked.

”Hehe, older than all ten of you combined.”

”Bluffing, huh? The ten of us together are almost two hundred years old.”

”Two hundred years is nothing, I can live another two hundred years.”

Gu Bo twirled his small mustache, proudly stating.

Yang Xiao and the others were stunned and said in unison:

”Impossible, right?”

”What’s so impossible about that? Your lifespans will be the same from now on. You are no longer ordinary people from Earth, you belong to those with Genetic Evolution. The higher the degree of Genetic Evolution, the longer the lifespan.”

Everyone was hearing for the first time from Gu Bo about the relationship between Genetic Evolution and lifespan, and they were all shocked.

This was the longevity that humanity had sought after in the past, unexpectedly coming so quietly in this mysterious apocalypse.

It seems, the apocalypse isn’t all that bad!

”Oh my, if I could live two hundred years, could I marry many wives and have lots of children?”

Long Yongjun laughed.

This immediately drew eye rolls from Feifei and others.

Yang Xiao continued drinking Genetic Potions, and after about another 150 bottles, his Defense attribute increased to 8 points.

”Strange, what kind of body do you have? Why is it so tough to increase Genetic Attributes?”

Gu Bo muttered.

Yang Xiao continued and drank around another 200 bottles of Genetic Potions, finally increasing his Defense to 9 points.

Feeling a bit ashamed as he might end up drinking all 5,000 Genetic Potions, Yang Xiao suggested:

”Maybe I should stop now and let others upgrade their Genetic Attributes first?”

Everyone disagreed, after all, Yang Xiao did not need to enhance his Strength and Agility attributes, and even though Defense and Wisdom required more potions, overall it was beneficial.

Moreover, Yang Xiao was essentially the leader, the backbone of the group, and by now everyone felt that Yang Xiao must possess some type of Super Beast Soul, otherwise, this situation wouldn’t be so outrageous.

Yang Xiao then drank another 300 Genetic Potions, finally increasing his Defense attribute to 10 points.

From 7 to 10 points, 4 points in Defense attribute, Yang Xiao used about 750 bottles of Genetic Potion.

”Boss, it’s good that you don’t need to boost your Strength and Agility, otherwise, I think we all might as well go back to sleep in our cave.”

Zhao Gang chuckled.

Gu Bo, puzzled, furrowed his brows as he looked at Yang Xiao. After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head and with a wave of his hand, the floating blue Wisdom Potion drifted in front of Yang Xiao.

Now, Yang Xiao had three Genetic Attributes elevated to 10 points. With his body enhanced, his ability to metabolize the Genetic Potion further improved.

Normally, one only needs a small sip of Genetic Potion, kept in a tiny crystal bottle. Yang Xiao gulped down twenty bottles in one go before stopping to catch his breath, allowing the electrical currents inside his body to slowly dissipate.

Currently, Yang Xiao’s Wisdom Attribute was only at 5 points. Strangely, he used less than 500 bottles of the potion and managed to increase his Wisdom Attribute to 10 points.

Everyone looked at Yang Xiao, baffled.

Gu Bo smiled:

”This is normal, everyone’s Beast Soul is different, and the energy needed to enhance different Genetic Attributes varies.”

At that moment, Yang Xiao suddenly felt a flash of light in his mind. Concentrating, he saw a line of text appear beneath the Genetic Data System:

Genetic Evolution Level, Primordial Gene Primary Stage.

”Holy shit, what does this mean? Haven’t I already completed the Primordial Gene Evolution and activated the Genetic Data System? Why am I still at the Primordial Gene Primary Stage?”

Yang Xiao muttered to himself, turning his head to look at Gu Bo.

Gu Bo smiled and explained:

”Previously, you only completed the activation stage of evolving from an ordinary person to the Primordial Gene. Only when four Genetic Attributes break through to 10 points do you truly enter the Primordial Gene Primary Stage.”

”Are there Intermediate and High-Level stages too?”

”Correct, but not everyone can continually evolve. It depends on the conditions of your own Beast Soul. Some people might not even break through the Primordial Gene Primary Stage in their lifetime.”

Yang Xiao was stunned,

”Can’t I just drink more Genetic Potion?”

”Hehe, can a small grass, no matter how much fertilizer you add, grow into a big tree?”

With that explanation from Gu Bo, everyone nodded. It seems that how far one can go on the path of Genetic Evolution is dependent not only on resources but also on one’s innate Beast Soul.

Yang Xiao continued to gaze at the Genetic Data System within his mind. In the Skill Cultivation Method category, beyond the previous Golden Bee Swordsmanship and Feathered Arrow, a new skill had appeared:

One Finger Splitting Earth.

What does this mean? The name sounds mighty impressive, truly awe-inspiring!

Gu Bo glanced at Yang Xiao, seemingly guessing something, and said:

”Typically, when people evolve to the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, they activate a Beast Soul Skill, just like when first activating the Genetic Data System. Last time you didn’t seem to get a Beast Soul Skill, did you get one this time?”

”Yeah, there is one, just not sure what it is.”

”Ah? Do tell, what skill is it?”

”One Finger Splitting Earth.”

”One Finger Splitting Earth?”

Xiao Zhe and others were all confused.

Long Yongjun said:

”Boss, we’re all curious about your Beast Soul. How about you demonstrate it for us and give us a treat?”

Yang Xiao was also eager, unsure of what his Beast Soul actually was, and seeing everyone’s anticipatory looks, he turned to glance at Gu Bo.

Gu Bo was equally curious, remarking:

”Hehe, I’m curious too.”
