70 Gene Max Points (2/2)

His footsteps never stopped as he left the R&D Department. He headed toward his living quarters, looking onward with a heavy expression.

Even though he had completed the assignment, there was not an ounce of happiness on his face. The sight of a human struggling on his last breaths was still fresh in his memory.

Though he had not intended to kill the inmate, his death was indirectly caused by Feng Lin. (TL note: the actual sentence is ”I did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of me!”)

Feng Lin was not a weakling. If he wanted to kill a target, he would not hold back. But for him to do that, the target would have to be his enemy.

The subject of the experiment had no conflict with Feng Lin. Seeing the inmate died after drinking his potion caused extreme discomfort within his heart. Any normal people would feel that way.

Feng Lin could feel an increased sense of urgency.

If the rabbit dies, the fox grieves. (TL note: this is an idiom meaning ”having sympathy with like-minded people in distress”.)

The solar system was a chaotic star region; dangers were everywhere. It was an oppressive and dark society.

Power!

He must have a certain level of power in order to save himself. He could not rely on others.

Otherwise, he would also be at the mercy of others.

If he did not have actual strength, one day he would turn into one of the lab rats. By then, he would be taken advantage of, and living would be no better than death.

This was something that Feng Lin wanted to avoid no matter what.

Returning to his living quarters, Feng Lin began cultivating diligently.

This time, he had fully replenished the vitality that he had used up. Of course, he planned to level his genes up until their max points.

He did not drink any more potion of life because he had consumed enough Adrenaline Potion before.

Although Adrenaline Potion was used to stimulate the adrenaline gene, as a gene potion, it was rich in nutrients.

Feng Lin continued his cultivation and quickly digested the nutrients within his body.

Slowly exhaling…. Slowly inhaling….

Feng Lin closed his eyes as he stabilized his breathing. His breaths were very calm and lengthy, releasing a certain kind of rhythm to the air. A stream of heat flowed through his body, nourishing every part of it.

Genetic potential +20%, +19%, +18%... ...

Feng Lin's genetic potential increased rapidly, quickly breaking through the 1000% mark, reaching as much as 1021%.

His 3.7 vitality was slowly increasing, from 3.8, 3.85, 3.9, 3.95... ...

Pop!

Feng Lin's body suddenly shook as he broke through a threshold to the next level. It was as though he could feel his body from the inside out!

4.1 vitality!

His vitality had broken through the 4th vitality threshold, passing it by 0.1.

Each point of vitality was a threshold.

Feng Lin could clearly feel the strength emanating from within his body. It was as though a dormant volcano would erupt at any time.

But this was not the most crucial part.

To allow himself to quickly gain power, he had used up most of his vitality to level up his genes. However, he had finally replenished his depleted vitality now.

It was a feeling similar to paying off a giant debt. A huge mountain was lifted off his shoulders all of a sudden.

Feng Lin took in a deep breath. He had nothing else to worry about now. He could finally continue with his gene strengthening.

He had many unspent genetic points before and could increase his genes anytime, but he held back because of his low vitality. After enduring for so long, he finally made a full recovery. How would he be willing to wait any longer?

Without further ado, he began immediately.

With a quick thought, Feng Lin's genetic potential suddenly dropped by 100%.

One nebula that represented the genetic point in the Dantian's genetic map exploded immediately. It turned into a plume of energy and injected itself into the Stonebirth Gene; the strengthening tally went from 8 to 9 silently.

What surprised Feng Lin the most was that his vitality skyrocketed from 4.1 to 4.9. The increase was no longer in steps of 0.1 but 0.8. It was 8 times what it had been previously.

It would seem that the nutrients he had consumed were not in vain. The return was enormous.

Feng Lin rejoiced within his heart. The path he had chosen was the most steady and secure. His future was looking bright.

After recovering his vitality with great difficulty, it was not enough to strengthen it by just a little bit.

Feng Lin, who had a taste of what it was like, knew that gene strengthening was highly addictive.

The feeling of instantly improving by leaps and bounds was too fascinating.

Feng Lin did not hesitate and continued to add points.

Stonebirth Gene flashed without any stagnation. It was instantly increased to 10 points, breaking through the theoretical genetic limit.

Everything seemed to flow smoothly like water.

Monkey Gene was at max point.

Stonebirth Gene was at max point.

What was left was their evolution to Stone Monkey Gene.
