Chapter 76: Perfect Genetic Chain

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Back in the stone house, without Rona’s cooking, Su Yao would never build a fire.

It was early summer and the day was hot, but at night, even living inside Safety Sector No. 17, one might feel that it was too cold to sleep.

Tang Ling was thinking about some insignificant things while eating the charred roasted meat in front of him.

Since Su Yao said boiling meat was wasting resources, roasting was the way to go. He thought he could roast some good meat and even stopped Tang Ling from helping him.

However, it seemed like Su Yao once again overestimated his cooking. He passed Tang Ling a slice of charred meat, but thankfully Tang Ling was not picky. He still enjoyed the meat albeit his face being smeared black with the burnt bits.

While Su Yao was roasting the meat, Tang Ling told him about everything that happened in the second exam, except for his vision.

It was not that Tang Ling did not want to tell him. There was nothing for him to hide in front of Su Yao based on the level of trust he had, but Su Yao himself stopped Tang Ling from revealing it.

The vision should be a secret to everyone, and Su Yao respected that.

The meat was a little dry, so with a sigh, Tang Ling stood up for some water after quickly tearing into a whole leg of the raging wild bull.

However, his tiny action shook Su Yao to his core. The man roared, “What are you doing!?”

“Getting some water.” Tang Ling looked innocent as he said that. His face was black because he had stuffed the charred meat all over his face.

Su Yao could not help but slam the table while pointing at Tang Ling. “Look at you! You’re even more glutinous than a Harsheen boar. Which part of you looks like someone with the Perfect Genetic Chain?!”

Harsheen boar? The stupid and dumb boar with a strange mind? Did Su Yao just compare me with those things? The flame of rage burned in Tang Ling. He was thinking about going all out at Su Yao, but at the next moment, just when he was about to grab the stool and smash it at Su Yao’s face, he was stunned.

The Perfect Genetic Chain? What was that?

Relating it to Su Yao’s strange behavior along the way, Tang Ling started to suspect that Su Yao was hiding something from him again. Therefore, he subtly put the stool down and got a cup of level 3 drinking water before washing his face clean. He then sat up straight in front of Su Yao.

Frustrated, Su Yao grumbled, “Go away, boar!”

“What is the Perfect Genetic Chain?” Tang Ling calmly asked.

“A Harsheen boar has no right to know.” Su Yao glared askance at Tang Ling.

“What is the Perfect Genetic Chain?”

“Do you want some beating, boar?” Su Yao cracked his knuckles in front of him.

“What is...”

“You are not stopping are you, Harsheen boar?”

“What...”

No matter what Su Yao said, Tang Ling repeated the same question over and over again. Su Yao’s patience was wearing thin as he scratched his short buzz cut. Since his hair was not long at all, he could not grab his hair and vent his frustration, so all he did was leave some marks on his scalp with his nails.

“You bastard, fine! You win!” He lit up a cigarette and conceded. In fact, he also did not want to keep it as a secret from Tang Ling, given that he could opt out of some crucial past.

Tang Ling knew Su Yao would eventually give in, hence the relentless questioning.

As the smoke rose in the air, Su Yao started to explain some concepts to Tang Ling. These concepts were something Tang Ling would learn when he entered the First Reserved Camp.

“The truth about the so-called Genetic Chain is the quality of a person’s growth potential. It is hidden in the Genetic Chain, or the DNA for short, and is determined since the day you are born. Humans were weak in the old civilization, but it didn’t mean they didn’t have the growth potential. For example, in a certain situation, they could display explosive speed and strength that surpassed their usual levels. That is the so-called potential.

“While the potential was discovered in this era, every single lifeform is different from one another, so there are myriads of potentials. Of course, someone also speculated that the reason behind the differences is because of the Purple Moon.”

Up until this point, Su Yao’s expression slightly changed. He realized that he had spilled too much. The speculations and secrets involving the Purple Moon were too scary to tell.

Even in this era, those at the highest ranks had only grasped a handful of information.

How smart was Tang Ling? He was able to seize the point the moment it was mentioned, and as expected, he asked, “Why is it related to the Purple Moon?”

“This, we will continue when you get into the First Reserved Camp. Now, let us continue on the Genetic Chain Talent.” Su Yao simply brushed Tang Ling off for now.

As a matter of fact, he had promised Tang Ling that he would tell him about the secret of his chest, about ‘it’, when he got into the First Reserved Camp, but since Tang Ling was rather interested in the Genetic Chain Talent, Su Yao was able to get away with it.

Tang Ling even poured a cup of water for Su Yao.

Su Yao drank a mouthful of water in a single gulp before he said, “Now, you already know that the potential varies depending on the person, but can you simply bring out the potential hidden in the Genetic Chain Talent? You can’t. Therefore, in this era, a special cultivation method is needed to achieve that.”

“How did the cultivation come to be?” Tang Ling interrupted with a curious question.

Su Yao was annoyed. “Do you want to listen to the story? If you do, please don’t interrupt me.”

Deep in his heart, he sighed. How did it come to be? Maybe this kid will eventually know that the origin of all these things is related to what he has experienced. If that time comes, what would the kid think??

Nonetheless, now was not a good time to reveal it to Tang Ling. Ignorance was bliss.

Su Yao berated Tang Ling. Luckily, given his strong curiosity in the Genetic Chain Talent, Tang Ling did not press on the other questions.

Su Yao continued with furrowed brows, “As for what the cultivation is for? You might have already heard of it, but it’s to bring out your potential, and more importantly, to accumulate the power to break the Genetic Lock.” He then glanced over at Tang Ling.

Tang Ling’s expression had changed. His hands were shaking as he tested the water by asking, “Are those the locks that I saw?”

“Yes, the locks! That’s why the so-called potential is actually the number of locks in you. For instance, you are trying to kill two enemies, but wherever you’re standing, there’s no one, so who are you going to kill?”

“Does that mean that the number of locks that I saw represents the number of stars of my potential? But they were shrouded in mist! I’m saying that all I saw was mist.” Tang Ling was a little anxious because he did not know how to express himself. It was his vision after all. Would Su Yao understand him?

Pak!

Su Yao tapped on Tang Ling’s shoulder firmly and said calmly, “That is why that Genetic Chain Measuring Machine didn’t accurately measure your true potential.”

“It’s been proven that most of the people in this world don’t possess even one-star potential, but following the changes of the era, they are much stronger than the humans of the old civilization. For example, you say that a half-star potential has no lock, but the black chains that block the path still existed and most of the people in this era have broken through them. At the same time, this world has also proven to us that the highest potential should be nine stars. Nothing is more perfect than a nine-star Perfect Genetic Chain. That’s why whoever has a nine-star potential has the Perfect Genetic Chain!”
