After a preliminary understanding, Peter learned that the person who had shouted at him just now was really promoting a gene-strengthening potion. However, the gene potion that this person promoted was very ordinary. After an ordinary person used it, the increase in power was very limited.

Peter had nothing to do now. He had not made any progress even after keeping an eye on the Federal building, so he simply talked to the man.

“I’ll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them truthfully, I can buy your gene-strengthening potion.”

The man was happy to hear Peter’s promise. Originally, he was selling gene-strengthening potions near the commercial street. However, it was snowing heavily, so he planned to take a shortcut across the park and go home.

He didn’t expect to meet a man who was taking a walk alone here. Thus, he wanted to give it a try and asked if the man wanted the gene potion he was selling.. In the end, he actually managed to sell one.

The gene potions he sold were not cheap. Currently, there were few families in the base city who could use the gene-strengthening potions. After all, potions that could strengthen the body were also very effective for treating diseases.

“Sir, feel free to ask. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you.”

“Yeah.”

Peter nodded with satisfaction. The question he wanted to ask was very simple. It was about a phenomenon in the current base city. He wanted to understand the situation of the Mecha Warriors after they were attacked by the beasts.

“Can you tell me about the current situation of the Mecha Warriors?”

When the man heard this question, his uneasy expression turned into one of excitement.

“Sir, you asked the right person. My neighbor is a Mecha Warrior, so I can tell you about his experience.”

The man looked at a nearby pavilion that was available for visitors to rest in. Then, he motioned to Peter for them to talk there.

When the two of them entered the pavilion, they could avoid the snowflakes falling from the sky. The man sat opposite Peter and began to tell him about the situation.

It was about ten minutes later that Peter finished listening to the man describe his neighbor’s experience.

It turned out that after the beast siege, many Mecha Warriors lost their jobs. The reason was that the Federation had made a new decision. In the next few years, the Federation needed the elites among the Mecha Warriors. They would no longer rely on their number of mechas like before.

Peter had expected this decision long ago. Furthermore, he was concerned about the thoughts of the ordinary Mecha Warriors who had been eliminated. After all, this concerned his future plans.

The man told Peter about his neighbor, who was once a Mecha Warrior serving in the Federation. However, after being fired, he no longer had a source of income and could only rely on minimal food supplies. If the man’s neighbor wanted to change this situation, there was only one way out — to become a Genetic Warrior.

Peter had the most say here. As a Genetic Warrior, he knew that as long as one was not older than 35 years old, they could absorb the gene-strengthening potion and become a Genetic Warrior.

It was not that they could not absorb the gene potion after they were 35 years old. It was just that once an ordinary human exceeded 35 years old, the effects of absorbing the gene potion would be very low.

This was equivalent to wasting money without getting a good result.

The last thing the man said was what Peter wanted to know the most. At the end of the story, he told Peter that his neighbor was willing to risk going to the wealthy district. Then, he would accept a bounty mission in order to obtain the gene-strengthening potion.

Peter also knew about this. Before he became a Genetic Warrior, his father had wanted to accept the bounty mission issued by a wealthy person, but he was stopped by Peter.
