"This..."
Chen Feng could only smile wryly.
What was this?
He had killed even a Mutated Human, yet he was going to be taken out by a few F-Class Mutated Beasts?
He was a genius capable of fighting above his level!
At that moment, those Mutated Beasts seemed to sense the power of Chen Feng's body. Their gazes immediately turned greedy, their scarlet eyes brimming with killing intent.
"Roar—"
With a low growl.
That pack of Mutated Beasts actually charged at him.
"Damn."
Chen Feng smiled bitterly.
His only remaining reliance was the Luck Aura!
But...
Would it really work at a time like this?
Luck Aura!
Activate!
The Luck Aura centered on Chen Feng's will. Otherwise, if he merely wanted to cast a Wind Blade but the Luck Aura affected everything, draining hundreds or thousands of points every second, his tiny amount of Luck Value would never be enough!
Let me complete the enhancement successfully!
Chen Feng silently prayed.
Boom!
The last 5 points of Luck Value in his body plummeted wildly at that moment, nearly being depleted in an instant. Yet the Mutated Beasts around him were still there.
"I really was overthinking it."
Chen Feng muttered to himself.
Not enough Luck Value?
Chen Feng sighed.
He could barely see in front of him, and the agony in his body continued. Sensing the pack of Mutated Beasts rushing toward him, Chen Feng simply stopped caring and continued his muttering.
I'm about to die anyway, so what the hell am I afraid of!
Wonder if anyone will see me off...
Chen Feng grumbled inwardly.
At the final moment, his consciousness finally blurred.
Vaguely.
He seemed to hear a violent explosion. His bodily enhancement also seemed to end at that moment, and the pain finally vanished. Chen Feng was drenched as though he had been steamed in sweat, his face pale as he collapsed limply onto the ground.
Had he succeeded?
Or failed?
Chen Feng could no longer feel anything.
Chen Feng opened his eyes in confusion and even saw a familiar phantom. He blinked, his mind not yet fully awake, and said as if possessed, "Sure enough, they're not flat."
"Boom!"
A terrifying force exploded against his abdomen. Chen Feng was kicked flying, crashing through two trees before finally coming to a stop.
"Hiss—"
Chen Feng ached all over.
This feeling...
Chen Feng suddenly jolted awake. "I'm still alive?!"
Yes.
Alive!
His strength was gradually returning.
Feeling the explosive power contained within his body and the unprecedented clarity of his mind, Chen Feng suddenly understood that he had made it through the hardest stage!
Gene Enhancement had succeeded!
He had endured it!
Chen Feng was overjoyed.
Wait... if this was real, then as Chen Feng looked at the familiar figure before him, he immediately drew in a sharp breath.
"Awake?"
Wang Yao looked at him with an icy little face.
"Awake."
Chen Feng's heart tightened, terrified that this Little Girl would finish him off in one move.
"Repeat what you said just now."
Murderous intent surged from Wang Yao.
"Sorry."
Chen Feng apologized repeatedly. His mind had been muddled earlier and he had spouted nonsense; now, he did not dare mention it at all. Anyone who tried to continue the conversation with things like "I won't dare next time" or "I was just talking nonsense" generally already had grass ten feet high on their grave.
"Hmph!"
Wang Yao snorted coldly.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Feng scratched his head.
He truly felt a little embarrassed before someone who had saved him twice.
"I happened to hear some commotion over here and came to take a look. I didn't expect to pick up a living person."
Wang Yao said blandly.
Chen Feng: "..."
Had he been picked up off the roadside by a loli?
Still, he knew that the Luck Aura had played a part in this. Wang Yao might originally have passed by directly, but because of the Luck Aura, she had happened to notice this place.
Those 5 points of Luck Value had been worth it.
Just then, a voice gritted out through clenched teeth.
"Chen Feng!"
Chen Feng turned around and was immediately surprised. It was actually Wang Yue!
"Why are you here?"
Chen Feng was astonished.
"That's what I should be asking you!"
Wang Yue was furious. He had finally persuaded her to help him kill Mutated Beasts and raise his spiritual attributes, only to run into Chen Feng, this jinx, the moment they arrived.
If it were just him alone...
Countless little scenes of tormenting Chen Feng had already flashed through Wang Yue's mind.
"Me?"
Chen Feng ignored him. Seeing the questioning look in Wang Yao's eyes, he could only smile bitterly as he explained, "I came for Gene Enhancement. I didn't expect my foundation to be too poor—I nearly couldn't endure it."
"What could trash like you possibly endure!"
Wang Yue mocked.
Was that really so?
Wang Yao's indifferent gaze swept over the corpse in the distance, but she said nothing.
"Since we ran into each other, this works out."
Wang Yao tilted her little head and thought for a moment. "I saved you, so help me with something."
"It's my duty."
Chen Feng nodded.
"There's something I need to retrieve in Green Mountain Forest, but the Restriction is somewhat troublesome. I originally intended for Wang Yue to do it, but he seems to be a little too useless."
Wang Yao said blandly.
"Big Sis!"
Wang Yue said aggrievedly.
"???!"
Chen Feng's eyes widened abruptly.
Holy shit?
Big sister???
Looking at Wang Yao's small stature, then at Wang Yue, who was at least 1.7 meters tall, Chen Feng was completely dumbfounded. They were not brother and sister, but older sister and younger brother?!
"A small accident."
Wang Yao did not want to say more.
"Understood."
Chen Feng forcibly suppressed his shock and intense urge to gossip. Seeing the killing intent in the little girl's eyes, he knew that if he asked any more questions, he might truly lose his life.
"Cut the crap. Are you agreeing or not?"
Wang Yue said impatiently, "My sister just saved you!"
"Not right now."
Chen Feng shook his head. "In my current condition, I can't lift the Restriction. Tomorrow will be fine."
Wang Yao glanced over Chen Feng. Seeing his tattered clothes soaked through with sweat and his pale face, she finally gave a slight nod. "I'll find you tomorrow."
"What's with all the hassle?"
Wang Yue muttered, only to receive a vicious glare from Wang Yao.
Whoosh!
Light and shadow flashed as mist rose into the air.
With one hand each, Wang Yao grabbed Chen Feng and Wang Yue and returned to the camp. After exchanging contact information with Chen Feng, Wang Yao took Wang Yue and left.
Chen Feng felt grateful.
That little girl might always be brimming with killing intent, but that was only toward enemies!
Help her lift the Restriction?
Chen Feng needed to make preparations.
Back in the City Area.
In his rented apartment, Chen Feng collapsed directly onto the bed.
He was exhausted!
It had been too dangerous!
Even though he had prepared a full 50 points of Luck Value and a vial of Thunder Serpent Gene Reagent, and had acted with extreme caution, he had still barely survived and almost failed to return. The price he had paid for rapid improvement was even more terrifying than he had imagined! Fortunately, he had made it back safely this time.
But the gains this time...
Chen Feng scanned his genetic data.
---- Genetic Attributes: Strength: 50 Agility: 50 Physique: 50 Spirit: 81 ----
A complete improvement!
Compared with his former self, he was on an entirely different level.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward!
The price of this near-death experience was that his Strength, Agility, and Physique, which had originally been only 10 points each, had surged to 50 points, while his Spirit, originally only 52 points, had become 81. The total increase in his genetic attributes was as high as 149 points! An incomparably terrifying number!
"I'm already close to the 100-point limit."
Chen Feng was thrilled.
It was worth it!
After helping Wang Yao lift the Restriction tomorrow, he would make some more preparations and hunt a few Wind Fox Leaders. He would definitely be able to sprint to 100 points in a short time!
By then, Strongest Gene...
He would definitely be able to develop it!
Chen Feng's heart burned with excitement.
His Luck Value had been completely depleted, and he still had to help out tomorrow, so Chen Feng did not waste any Luck Value. Besides, with Wang Yao around, who would dare come looking for death?
He rested peacefully for the night.
The next day, Chen Feng arrived at the Green Mountain Forest camp.
When he arrived, Wang Yao and her brother had not yet come, but to his surprise, he saw Xu Fei's small team there.
