Strongest Gene!

At this moment.

Jin City, rental apartment.

Chen Feng looked at the materials he had gathered with great satisfaction: thirty portions of Desert Mad Ant Essence Blood, all carefully selected for the finest genes. This was how he collected Desert Mad Ant Essence Blood—bringing a huge wad of cash to buy it was far more tempting than a bank transfer!

"I should thank those three idiots, too."

Chen Feng smiled calmly.

Since he had learned the news in advance, how could he possibly fail to notice those three? They had tried hard, but unfortunately, they had chosen the wrong opponent.

"One Gold Ant Gene Reagent requires ten portions of Desert Mad Ant Essence Blood."

Chen Feng did the math. All the money he had saved recently was only enough to support three attempts.

"This is quite an expense."

Chen Feng had a headache.

But there was no choice. It was necessary.

The Gene Producer profession had always required enormous investments in the early stages before yielding massive profits later on! That was why outstanding Gene Producers were especially valuable.

"I'll make one first."

Chen Feng made his decision.

Once he decided, he acted. He began frantically studying the Gold Ant Gene's data. It took him two full days to master it and gather all the materials. In particular, the cultivation fluid required for the third step, gene fusion, needed to be mixed from countless precious materials. There was no room for even the slightest mistake.

The Gold Ant Gene was difficult.

Although Chen Feng's gene production skills had improved considerably, if he forcibly attempted a Five-Star Recipe like this, his success rate was only a pitiful 1%!

Fortunately, he had the Luck Aura.

"I can begin."

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

Begin!

Whoosh!

Light and shadow shifted as Chen Feng entered the Multi-dimensional State.

Just like producing the Thunder Serpent Gene, creating the Gold Ant Gene was incredibly difficult. He had to locate three hundred genes, and even with the Luck Aura activated, Chen Feng nearly failed!

The gene search for a mere F-Class recipe was already as difficult as the Restriction Xu Fei had created?

It truly was a Five-Star Recipe!

Fortunately, after that expedition with Xu Fei, Chen Feng's gene-searching ability had improved tremendously. He barely managed to gather everything during the final stage.

When producing ordinary genes, Chen Feng did not need to worry about the first two steps. As long as he spent 1 point of Luck Value on the final gene fusion, he could easily succeed. But when producing such a high-difficulty gene, he did not dare relax in the slightest, even during the first two steps.

Step one: Gene search, successful!

Luck Value consumed: 1 point.

Step two: Gene reaction, successful!

Luck Value consumed: 1 point.

The catalytic reactions of three hundred genes gave Chen Feng a splitting headache, but Chen Feng had improved rapidly by now. He completed every reaction in an orderly fashion.

Step three: Gene fusion, successful!

Luck Value consumed: 1 point.

The key to cultivating a special gene lay in developing the cultivation fluid. The moment that independent gene replicated within the fluid, the Gold Ant Gene was finally complete!

Gene Name: Gold Ant Gene

Gene Type: Special

Gene Effect: Activates the potential of genes within the body, permanently increasing Spirit by 20 points.

Restriction: An F-Class Gene Warrior may only use it once.

Gene Description: A special gene reagent created by refining and cultivating Desert Mad Ant Essence Blood as the core material with various precious materials.

It succeeded!

Chen Feng was thrilled. This was the first Five-Star difficulty reagent he had produced—a Max Stats Gold Ant Gene Reagent worth 250,000 yuan! If he sold a few more, his twenty-star difficulty might not be a problem at all. Yet Chen Feng's excitement quickly cooled.

This gene reagent had Max Stats, but it still had not mutated.

"Still no mutation?"

Chen Feng realized a problem.

The Thunder Serpent Gene had not mutated! The Gold Ant Gene had not mutated either! Was mutation simply too difficult, or did high-star recipes not mutate at all?

Chen Feng felt uneasy.

His own advantage, the thing that allowed him to surpass everyone else, was his ability to uncover the unknown potential within genes, no matter how small the odds!

So—

He had always looked forward to the arrival of a second mutated gene.

Yet there was none!

Neither the Thunder Serpent Gene nor the Gold Ant Gene had even undergone ordinary mutation, let alone produced some hidden gene with impossibly low odds. There was simply nothing!

Mutated genes were, after all, rare.

"Is there really no mutation?"

Chen Feng searched online for a while, deeply disappointed.

Perhaps his discovery of the Wood Bear Mutation Gene had truly been nothing more than a coincidence. The Wood Bear Gene just happened to possess a recessive gene, and from now on, he would fade into obscurity?

For some reason, Chen Feng was unwilling to accept that.

Having tasted the benefits of fame, even if only a little...

Chen Feng found himself unwilling to give it up.

"Do I look like Professor Tao right now?"

Chen Feng laughed wryly, but he quickly thought of something.

How were gene formulas discovered?

They had been tried one by one by the predecessors, researched endlessly in scientific laboratories, and only succeeded after the work of countless people and years of refinement! Since the formulas themselves had been developed through research, did that mean their research might contain flaws?

For example, the Wood Bear Mutation Gene!

Perhaps...

The formula itself was flawed?

Chen Feng's mouth went dry.

As a novice gene producer, he was questioning his predecessors!

Not because they lacked ability, but because if certain probabilities were truly too low, then perhaps their current formulas simply could not uncover those things?

If that was the case, could he improve the formula?

Chen Feng's eyes burned.

For the first time, he felt this crazed.

"Let's give it a try."

Chen Feng let the fire in his heart show.

Now that he had the idea, he had to try it. But how should he carry it out?

"The formula..."

"Improvement..."

Chen Feng fell into deep thought.

He had already figured out the three stages of gene production. If he wanted to make changes, then naturally all three aspects had to be changed! Chen Feng busied himself for two days before finally preparing everything.

The first step: gene searching.

Boom!

Light exploded before his eyes as Chen Feng entered the Multi-dimensional State.

In the past, whenever Chen Feng searched, he would activate the Luck Aura and casually grab genes until he had enough, because he knew the genes he caught would definitely be the most suitable ones!

But was that quantity really correct?

What if the optimal quantity required by the improved formula was not three hundred? Or what if even the types of genes required by the formula itself were different?

Then...

Chen Feng slowly closed his eyes.

Using his mental power, he blocked out his Five Senses and Six Consciousnesses, shut out all external states, and entered a special Multi-dimensional World. This world was pitch-black!

He could not see anything, but he could feel.

Whoosh!

Chen Feng began grabbing at random.

He did not look at the types or care about the quantity. He simply reached out in front of him and grabbed, taking however many he could get. Everything depended entirely on luck! This was Chen Feng's strongest production state!

Chen Feng called it—the Super-dimensional State.

His plan was simple: to complete the modification of the formula in this special state!

The strongest gene!

I will definitely create the strongest gene!

Chen Feng silently vowed.

The Luck Aura began operating at Chen Feng's will. A mysterious power started running wildly, while the Luck Value within Chen Feng's body slowly declined.

It had begun!

1 point...

2 points...

3 points...

It only barely stopped once his Luck Value reached 5 points, no longer consuming any more. Chen Feng knew that the gene search step might already be complete!

When he opened his eyes, Chen Feng's heart trembled.

Sure enough...

Five hundred and sixty genes!

Genes completely different from the previous three hundred!

This was the Luck Aura's own selection!

The first step was complete.

"Very good."

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

As long as it worked, it was good. Then, it was time for the second step—gene reaction.

Swish!

Chen Feng closed his eyes.

He had to maintain this state, because if he opened his eyes, he would definitely be disturbed by these genes and influenced by the familiar ones!

Swish!

The order of all the genes descended into chaos.

Chen Feng casually grabbed genes one after another and began the reactions.

Reaction!

They took effect one by one!

Chen Feng did not care about the order at all. This stage was clearly the hardest. The Luck Value in Chen Feng's body plummeted wildly, at a terrifying rate. By the time Chen Feng completed all the gene reactions, a full 10 points of Luck Value had been consumed—an utterly horrifying amount!

Done!

The second step was complete!

Chen Feng did not dare open his eyes.

He knew that the second-step gene reactions were complete. He might have already created that special Mutant Gene. Next came the third step: gene fusion!

As long as the fusion succeeded, this Strongest Gene might be born!

However, this step was the most troublesome.

It was not merely a matter of copying the gene. More importantly, he had none of the culture solution needed to replicate the gene! He had to use the materials currently available to personally create a culture solution capable of replicating the Mutant Gene.

This was an unfamiliar gene and an unfamiliar culture solution.

If he wanted to complete it, he could only rely on the Luck Aura.

"Luck Aur..."

Just as Chen Feng was about to continue, a wave of dizziness suddenly overwhelmed him.
