Espers

Base Defense Division, Outer Patrol Division.

Deputy Director's Office.

"Hello." Yu Hanchao answered the call.

"You've figured it out?"

"Good. That's it. Have the gunmen ready and wait for my instructions."

He ended the call.

Yu Hanchao tapped his fingers against the desk, his eyes cold.

Of course, he wouldn't give Wang Ye a chance to catch his breath.

Once Wang Ye joined the Rescue Team, killing him would become extremely troublesome.

He would do it right here in the Base City!

"I'll use your head to commemorate the seventh day after his death." Yu Hanchao closed his eyes and clenched his teeth hard.

Dream Home.

Another day full of energy!

Wang Ye stretched and got out of bed, loosening his muscles.

Second Order Gene Warrior, 20%!

An increase of 6%!

After returning from Gene Park yesterday, he had stayed home training instead of going out, spending more time with his family.

For older people, companionship mattered more.

He was slowly getting used to this warmth too.

But...

Wang Ye would not forget what he needed to do.

Everything he had now was supported by his own strength.

If he stopped advancing, setting aside the apocalypse crisis and the rampaging Cosmic Monsters...

Yu Hanchao alone would never let him off easily.

"Big Brother worked overtime again yesterday."

"Just like I used to."

Wang Ye smiled it off.

When he had been rushing projects in the past, he had done nothing but work and sleep.

He'd even gnaw on bread and eat takeout at his desk. How could he have had time to go home?

A man's career came first.

He headed for No. 3 Garrison.

The Base City had camp buses running twenty-four hours a day to the four garrisons, mainly for the Base Defense Division.

Daytime wasn't suitable for training. Hunting Ferocious-level Monsters was the real priority.

He could earn Potential Points and make a decent income at the same time.

Although Wang Ye had enough money now, nobody ever complained about having too much money.

Otherwise, why would there be so much tax evasion?

"I'll try to earn ten million as soon as possible and buy a place of my own." Now that he had the means, Wang Ye naturally wanted to live a little better.

He set himself a modest goal of 10%.

The temporary housing conditions were average, and it was located on the edge of the Base City.

If monsters ever attacked the city, there wouldn't even be anywhere to run.

"I can now reliably hunt mid-tier Ferocious-level Monsters. My average share from each one is around 2,200 yuan." Wang Ye stepped into the outskirts of South Kettle Park and swiftly got moving.

"Looks like today's haul will be pretty good."

Wang Ye's keen awareness quickly detected a mid-tier Ferocious-level Monster ahead.

A five-meter-tall Ferocious-level Brown Bear Monster!

It was gnawing on an Evolver's corpse, its gray-furred muzzle covered in blood.

The moment it saw him, its eyes lit up. It rose onto its hind legs and charged at him with a roar.

Clang!

Wang Ye drew the Crimson Sun Battle Blade II Series.

It felt exceptionally comfortable in his hand.

Its material was completely different from the standard models in the camp armory.

It was heavier!

But sharper and more powerful!

"Hah!"

Blade light flashed, and Wang Ye's wrist trembled slightly.

Rising Sun cleaved straight through the Ferocious-level Brown Bear Monster's hard, thick hide.

What a blade!

It cut through iron like mud.

With his previous weapon, even if that strike could have broken through the Brown Bear Monster's defenses, the damage would have been limited.

And the powerful recoil would definitely have prevented him from continuing his attack.

But now, it was different.

Radiant Hues of Myriad Paths followed smoothly, layers upon layers of blade light overlapping.

The Crimson Sun Blade Art flowed with incredible ease. Before the Ferocious-level Brown Bear Monster could even get close, it was chopped into several pieces and collapsed in a pool of blood.

Light flickered before his eyes.

Killed a Second Order Brown Bear Monster.

Potential Points: 36 → 36.

Too easy.

Everything felt brand-new!

The battered Darklight Battle Suit on his body suddenly seemed far less important.

"Once my custom battle suit arrives, I can enter South Kettle Park and kill high-tier Ferocious-level Monsters above my level." Wang Ye gripped the Crimson Sun Battle Blade II Series, feeling the thrill of spending money in a game.

Attack power increased by 200%!

"Something's strange."

"Why is there a Ferocious-level Brown Bear Monster near South Kettle Park?"

"Did it come from a zoo?"

His efficiency was decent.

He earned over thirty Potential Points in a single day.

His net profit was nearly 50,000 yuan.

That evening, he returned to the camp first and discussed the boundaries of medicine and the miracles of life with Doctor Shu.

After taking a shower, he went home.

Wang Ye didn't want to return smelling of blood and frighten his mother.

As for his Younger Sister, Wang Xinchen, that brat didn't even know how to spell fear.

At the dinner table.

"Big Brother, can you fly?"

"No."

"Big Brother, have you eaten monster meat?"

"It tastes like firewood."

"Big Brother, can you spit out the Great Fireball Technique?"

"I can spit out profanity."

Wang Ye was very curious about what middle schoolers were being taught these days.

His Younger Sister, Wang Xinchen, always had all sorts of strange ideas in her head.

"Mom, isn't Big Brother coming back today either?" Wang Xinchen shouted toward the kitchen.

"Probably not. Don't worry about him. You two eat first," their mother, Chen Tingyu, called back from the kitchen.

"Alright!" Wang Xinchen happily picked up her chopsticks, then froze in midair.

She stared at the table in confusion. Her favorite braised pork ribs had mysteriously disappeared.

"Big Brother!!!"

Bullying the little brat once in a while was really satisfying.

After dinner, he returned to his room.

Wang Ye ended his chat with Yu Shuiqin and entered training mode.

After two days of getting acquainted, his relationship with Yu Shuiqin had made Rapid Progress. They could already make small jokes with each other appropriately.

As teammates in the future, they would be able to communicate very closely.

Huang Zirui wanted to keep an eye on him?

He couldn't keep up.

He opened his Personal Panel.

Wang Ye glanced at his Potential Points.

1.

His consciousness settled on the '+' after Life Evolution Method.

It was the first cultivation method he had brought to the perfect level.

Spend 50 Potential Points to elevate Life Evolution Method?

Yes!

Wang Ye was very curious.

What exactly was this "elevation" that required a full Ten times the Potential Points?

And how was it different from Limit Breaking?

Whoosh!

The instant his consciousness confirmed it, Wang Ye entered a new realm.

Immersed in the universe and heaven and earth, he was like a tiny speck of dust, continually growing alongside life's evolution, absorbing and strengthening...

Life began to evolve, and stardust transformed.

Endless time passed as it gradually condensed into a tiny Star Seed, radiating dazzling light...

Whoosh!

Enlightenment flooded his mind.

In an instant, an immense energy poured into his entire body, fermenting and changing within him like a baptism.

Star Seed Evolution Method I, Beginner ↑

Light flickered before his eyes.

Before Wang Ye could react...

As the surging energy was absorbed, not only did his body's cells transform, but the chaos deep within his brain domain also began to disperse.

Splendid, radiant points of light emerged, growing like Star Seeds and condensing into a star core.

Boom!

His brain domain expanded.

Centered around the star core, a small patch of clear, open space formed in the depths of the chaos.

His consciousness became incomparably clear. At this moment, Wang Ye had a precise grasp of himself, including every thread of energy deep within his brain domain.

Esper awakened → First Order Esper

It was here!

It had finally come!

Wang Ye was overjoyed.

The brain domain that could only be opened when one's life level evolved!

At the moment the Life Evolution Method elevated and he comprehended the Star Seed Evolution Method, its boundaries expanded past the threshold!

He had reached the Esper critical point!

With a thought, the Light and Shadow Panel opened.
