Chapter 106: Path of the Green Giant

“Feng Lin, do this well. If the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique is a success, our Giant Pharmaceutical Company would not mistreat you!” Frank smiled. After that, he turned and departed the area.

Feng Lin’s heart was still feeling the chills.

It seemed that the playing ground had just expanded into something beyond his control.

If the research topic was a success, he would be transformed into a child of G.o.d?

Who would want such a reward?!

Feng Lin was extremely proficient in genetic theory. What bulls.h.i.+t was the divine blood ritual?

It was simply a genetic transformation process. Once he really underwent that, his original bloodline and race would be cleanly wiped away and changed.

No wonder these researchers had the mannerisms and features of other races, yet they were all caucasians, giving off an extremely bizarre feeling.

Why would Feng Lin not want to be a chinese and become an egg-human—white on the outside, yellow on the inside—instead? Stop joking alright?

No matter how good the benefits of being a child of G.o.d were, Feng Lin wouldn’t care less!

Most importantly, he was currently walking on the mythological path of Sun Wukong. This was a legendary character in Huaxia myths and legends. Only people of chinese descent would be able to awaken Sun Wukong’s mythological genes.

If he transformed into an egg-human, maybe the unique characteristics of his awakened genes and his vitality stat would be forcibly modified. Wouldn’t this mean that he would be crippling his own cultivation path?

Although this was just a guess, he felt that as long as there was a possibility of it happening, Feng Lin wouldn’t take the risk.

But even if he regretted now, everything was too late.

After entering this underground laboratory, the true core department of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company, the upper echelons had already regarded him extremely highly. It was almost impossible for him to leave.

He had to think of some ideas to protect himself!

Just as Feng Lin was pondering, those egg-humans walked over and surrounded him. Their gazes landed on Feng Lin. “Leader, let’s start the research now!”

Feng Lin’s heart suddenly trembled. These egg-humans were his so-called subordinates, but in reality, are they actually here to monitor him?

He maintained his expression and then nodded calmly. “It’s very important to our Giant Pharmaceutical Company to perfect the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique. This would concern our future development, so we must put in all our effort to do this well!”

“Yes!” Those researchers nodded and prepared themselves.

“Give me the formula for the Green Giant Genetic Potion!” Feng Lin commanded.

“Hai!” That Matsus.h.i.+ta Onijin was extremely on the ball. His att.i.tude was completely different from before and was now like a lackey that obediently brought the genetic potion formula to him. He bowed very low as though he had no dignity at all, but his eyes reflected a look similar to a hungry jackal.

Feng Lin wasn’t bothered about this.

Clearly, this Matsus.h.i.+ta Onijin had been a j.a.panese that transformed into a caucasian. He had the traits of all j.a.panese, placing those of the White Race in very high regards. To him, it was normal that the strong ruled, while the weak were bullied.

For people like Matsus.h.i.+ta Onijin, they had to be heavily suppressed before they would become willing lackeys. If not, they would only be ravenous jackals waiting for an opportunity to devour their masters.

Feng Lin was an interstellar cultivator, and he even had the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique. Regardless of his strength or genetic techniques, it was sufficient for him to suppress this person. He was confident that Matsus.h.i.+ta Onijin wouldn’t be able to bite back at him.

He wasn’t worried at all; thus, he took the formula and started his research.

The more confident he acted, the more respectful this Matsus.h.i.+ta Onijin would be.

And Feng Lin was also very clear of the specific information with regards to this mission.

Cultivation resources were based on different energy tiers. They could be divided into four tiers, low-martial, mid-martial, high-martial, and supreme-martial. Each grade could be further divided into the initial-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, flawless-grade, and perfect-grade.

So it turned out that the Green Giant Potion was a kind of high-grade, low-martial tier potion. Consuming this many times would allow people to awaken the Green Giant Gene!

Green Giant Gene was a type of mid-grade Giant Gene that was formed by combining the Giant Gene and Radiation Gene together. Through ceaseless absorbing of radiation energy, the one who awakened this gene would have boundless strength, but because of the side-effect of so much radiation, their thoughts would be muddled and they were p.r.o.ne to rage and violence. (Like the Hulk)

What was even rarer was that this was an extremely rarely-seen artificially created mythological gene.

Everyone knew that the vast majority of interstellar cultivators would depend on myths and legends as their guide as they continued to evolve their genes, walking on paths that would eventually lead to G.o.dhood.

Each mythological path had a completely different evolutionary pattern and path choices. This was the main essential point of interstellar cultivators.

But because genetic cultivation arts were very rare, not everyone would be able to obtain one.

Upon facing difficulties, the wisdom of humanity was boundless.

They first started to attempt using the genetic engineering process to deduce a gene’s attribute. After that, they slowly linked those other genes that had no connection to the main gene together, fusing them as one, walking on a brand new pathway.

Naturally, to forcibly group these genes that had no compatibility with each other, there would always be rejection. In the end, the human body would break apart, the ending extremely dire.

But there were also those blessed by fate and managed to survive by fortune. Upon success, they would open up a brand new pathway and possess all sorts of unimaginable powers.

The Green Giant Gene was precisely this sort of path.

This was an artificially-created gene, combining the Giant Gene with the Radiation Gene. The gene would grant boundless strength and an immensely powerful physique. Also, due to absorbing radiation energy, there also was an inherent ability to endure the impact of different energy properties to a certain degree.

This last point was very similar to the Stone Money Gene.

However, despite the Stone Monkey Gene was just a primeval gene whose gene-grade is inferior to the Green Giant Gene, the Stone Monkey Gene’s abilities weren’t in any way weaker.

But if it was the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene that was also of the transcendent-grade, it would at least be a variation-type gene or perfect gene, and the Green Giant Gene, which was only a mid-tier transcendent-grade gene, wouldn’t be able to compare to it.

Feng Lin understood all this information. He suddenly thought of a point. Is the Giant Pharmaceutical Company doing this because they want to create an army of green giants?

If the crystallization process for the green giant potion was completed and ordinary people were able to consume it, these clones would naturally be of great use. Frank said to form an army to protect themselves…wouldn’t that then be an army of green giants?!

His heart chilled.

One must know that the Green Giant Gene was a transcendent-grade gene. Once one awakened it, that person would become an elite cultivator, a step higher than basic interstellar cultivators.

So it turned out that the Mars Revolutionary Army had completely guessed wrongly. The Giant Pharmaceutical did want to create a genetic army, but it was not made up of interstellar cultivators. The army they wanted to create would be made up of elite cultivators instead.

One must know that in the Earth High School Feng Lin was from, the headmaster was also merely an elite cultivator. But even so, he was already considered one of the top experts in Huaxia City.

If this terrifying army truly managed to be formed, it was sufficient to sweep through the entire solar system with invincibility.

Only now was Feng Lin fully convinced that what Frank had said to him earlier were all lies.

Building such a powerful army just for protecting themselves? Who would believe this?

The undercurrents on Mars were churning. The ripple might be so large that it would extend through the solar system.

At that time, how should he choose?

….

Feng Lin was in deep contemplation.

“Leader, have you finished looking at the formula of the Green Giant Potion? Can we start our research on the crystallization technique?” At this moment, Matsus.h.i.+ta Onijin respectfully asked.

These egg-humans crowded around him, waiting for him to give the order.

Feng Lin’s lips curled up in a mysterious smile. “Of course!”

“Maybe all of you are questioning this: what sort of technique is the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique exactly? What is the connection between the technique and the ancient divine medicine?

“This is because the internal structure of the ancient divine medicine is actually a crystal structure. It can suppress medicinal potency and slowly release it, allowing for ordinary humans to absorb it. My Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique was created due to me trying to imitate the crystal structure inside the ancient divine medicine.”

“Oh, what sort of crystals?”

“They are full of mathematical beauty. But you have to use mental energy before you can break the barrier of spirit particles to perceive them!”

“Then how do we crystallize potions?”

“Fire! Use fire and mental energy to observe the molecular composition and try to mimic the unique characteristic of the crystal structure found in the ancient divine medicine!”

…

Inside the underground lab, the researchers kept asking Feng Lin questions about the secret of the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique.

Feng Lin appeared to be extremely open and wasn’t scheming at all. He told them everything without holding back.

However, no one noticed that one of his fingers kept moving about, forming gestures and imprints silently. Formless ripples of mental influence radiated from him.

These researchers only felt a warm wind blowing past their faces. The wariness in their hearts toward Feng Lin gradually dissipated.

“The leader is truly a good person. He actually held nothing back on such profound knowledge and told us everything!”

“Although leader is young, there’s no doubt about his abilities!”

“Seems like we cannot underestimate him!”

…

They exchanged gazes, but their thoughts and feelings toward Feng Lin started to change silently.

If before this, all they felt for Feng Lin was coldness, enmity, and disdain, they were all now filled with pa.s.sion and admiration, almost to the point of treating him like a divinity.

This imperceptible influence slowly changed the hearts of the researcher, powered by Feng Lin’s mental energy. He gradually gained complete control of everyone here in the underground lab.

As for being worried that the secrets of the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique would be leaked?

Feng Lin wasn’t worried at all.

Right from the start, there wasn’t any technique like the Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique. That was just a lie weaved by Feng Lin, wanting to mask the secrets of alchemy pill concoction techniques.

This Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique was just an extremely basic repackaged form of alchemy. It didn’t matter even if he taught it to them.

Those two were completely different fields, belonging to different systems.

They didn’t have the common alchemy knowledge of ancient china. Just the extremely basic stuff, which was the tip of the iceberg, was already enough to cause these researchers to take a long time to understand. This was ignoring the fact that Feng Lin also didn’t impart anything of true value to them.

Also, this Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique needed the support of mental energy, which required one to awaken the Mental Gene. This condition was already stringent enough.

Feng Lin wasn’t worried at all that they would be able to decipher the truth behind this technique.

Staring at these researchers getting busy, he silently laughed in his heart. Their efforts were doomed to fail, and they would only be wasting their time.

Although he was laughing at them, he actually felt laden with grief.

After careful contemplation, he just realized that the world-shocking alchemy techniques he had learned were actually a dragon slaughtering art!

There was no place for him to give full reign to this at all.
