Chapter 3: Whoa! What a Gigantic Skeleton!

Translator: AbyssrulerEditor: Lucas

Wang Zheng did not refute his words. He had indeed never seen a more knowledgeable bookstore owner than this old merchant. Given this old merchant's level of knowledge, even if he couldn't become a university professor, he could easily convince the average person.

”Young lad, as long as humans are alive, there is always a way. If one wishes to pass through the parallel space, even though it seems impossible, it'll depend on luck. When luck arrives, the probability will become 100%! The breathing technique passed down through your family is actually part of mankind's ancient wealth. A genetic score of 28, heh, even if you are useless in this world, in another world you could be a genius!”

”Old Merchant, can you please be more tactful? You really don't know how to comfort someone.”

The old man usually built happiness on top of his pain.

”Hehe, just because you cannot see it, you can't say it doesn't exist!” said the old merchant with a mysterious tone.

”...Old Merchant, you don't have a fever, do you?” Although Wang Zheng noticed that the old merchant was acting strangely today, he wasn't the only weird one; student Wang had been pretty unlucky lately too.

”F**k, I drank so much that I feel dizzy. I'm going to close the shop and have a rest. You can go away now!” the Old Merchant said while waving his hands.

Wang Zheng chuckled, picked up the gift, and ran out in an instant. Looking at Wang Zheng's back, the Old Merchant let out a trace of a smile.

”Just 28? How would the people of this world be able to identify a real genius? One day, you will cause this world to tremble!”

When Wang Zheng got home, he proceeded with his routine Eight Stage Breathing Training. If he didn't, his mood would not be at peace. Saying that his results weren't disappointing wasn't true. However, not being depressed made Wang Zheng feel like he himself was magical.

To pursue a life of learning? Just thinking about sitting in an office and writing and drawing for the entire day made Wang Zheng feel dizzy. He had never considered such an idea even though he felt that scientists were the greatest group among human beings.

His gaze fell upon the old merchant's gift, which was on the table.

Wang Zeng jumped up and picked up the gift. The thing was not big, but it was quite heavy.

After he tore open the newspaper wrapping, the box that was revealed was quite unexpected. The silver box was actually made of metal and it even looked to be of high quality. Although he sometimes regretted following the old merchant, Wang Zheng only felt anticipation towards this gift.

When he opened the box, he saw a dark block of iron inside…. It looked a little like those Rubik's Cubes he played with when he was younger, but what was this thing?

After inspecting it carefully, he couldn't find a user manual inside the box. Wang Zheng stared at the iron block and cautiously examined it. It was absolutely solid.

He even tried to bite it, but it was so hard that his teeth almost broke.

What was the use of this thing? Was it some hidden weapon?

If it hit someone on the head, that person might just lose his life!

Could the inside be made of gold? This little fan of wealth immediately rolled up his sleeves to investigate. What if the black outer layer was rubbed off and the insides revealed a piece of dazzling gold?

Wang started to laugh to himself. This was the first gift he had received after coming of age. Why did it have to be a piece of scrap iron? Still, he was very grateful to the old merchant.

Suddenly, he felt a stabbing pain. Although the iron block felt very flat and smooth, it suddenly scraped his skin and started sucking his blood like a leech!”

Wang Zheng tried to throw the block away, but it was stuck to his hand! A sudden burst of golden light shot out and Wang Zheng felt like he had gotten into a train crash!

Darn it ..... what happened? I don't want to die before I get laid!

This was Student Wang's last thought

Drip…

The sound of water droplets woke him up. Wang Zheng slowly opened his eyes. His surroundings were pitch black. What kind of place was this? His forehead was tingling with pain. The only good thing was that his body parts were still intact.

When he touched the floor, it was like touching some kind of ice-cold ground. The surroundings were pitch black and nothing could be seen.

”Is there anyone? Can you turn on a light?”

Wang Zheng cautiously asked. In his life, never had he experienced so many strange events like today

Bang~~~

After a moment, there was a flash of white light and Wang Zheng was almost blinded.

When his vision was finally restored, Wang Zheng was absolutely terrified by the things in front of him.

In front of him, barely touching his nose, stood a red…..thing!

It was a skeleton! Ahh~~~~~~~~

A human skeleton! Ahhhhhh!

His scream echoed loudly inside this place. The skeleton nearly caused Wang Zheng to faint.

After howling and realizing that no one was responding to him, he started to feel embarrassed.

He was enclosed within a square room which was pure white all around. Opposite him stood something that looked like a robot of some sort, but he didn't know whom it was designed by. It had a design resembling a skeleton and it was so beautiful that one could die!

”Where the hell am I? If there's anyone alive, please speak out!”

Wang Zheng shouted. Today's events were things he had never experienced in the past fifteen years, and it was was getting more outrageous. How did he get himself into this weird room?

”Genetic testing, commence!” The skeleton robot suddenly extended its hand and a beam of light shrouded Wang Zheng.

Luckily, it didn't hurt; he only felt a slight itch.

Before long, a bunch of information appeared in front of Wang Zheng's eyes.

Wang Zheng, male, the original gene is completely preserved, 15 years and 10 months, number of gene evaluation – 18!

The last number was the most eye-catching.

Wang Zheng truly wanted to scold someone. God d**n it! How could they bully people like this? 28 was already embarrassing enough; how did it drop further in these last few days? At this point, wasn't he no different from a pig?

This had to be a nightmare!

But the skeleton robot suddenly gave a salute. ”Congratulations on clearing the evaluation, Wang Zheng. The evaluation shows that you're a genius. You have the potential of a god of war, success rate of a 100%. Should the Super Soldier Program proceed?”

Wang Zheng's face turned red. ”Keke, don't mock me. No matter how bad my talent is, it was all given to me by my parents, and I am very grateful to them!”

”There are no errors in this test. Should the Super Soldier program proceed?” the robot asked meticulously.

Even though he was unable to communicate with the skeleton, Wang Zheng quickly understood from the skeleton robot that this was the fallen Rand Empire's super soldier training system which only selected extremely talented people to proceed with training. The inside of the cube was a special training place where time was almost paused. It was also a huge killing device that the Rand Empire used to conquer the universe, … But the truth was that the Milky Way Alliance didn't have this dog s**t Rand Empire. What non-existent time-stopping technology? Was this some kind of fairytale?
