The Young Wang Yue!

Chen Feng carefully sealed the blue liquid away. Nothing went wrong.

He had succeeded!

With the aid of the Luck Aura, the production had succeeded!

Looking at the data on his Wristband Light Screen, Chen Feng discovered that this production had consumed 1 point of mental energy and only 1 point of Luck Value. Of course, most importantly, as Chen Feng successfully completed the production, a skill he had long awaited appeared on the digitized Light Screen.

Beginner Gene Production: You have mastered the Beginner Gene Production Technique. By mastering more formulas, you can improve your gene production proficiency and success rate.

Beginner Production Proficiency: 0 Stars.

"It appeared!"

Chen Feng was thrilled.

The Beginner Gene Production the original owner had long yearned for!

Although he had only just entered the field, Chen Feng had taken this crucial first step in grand style and become a Gene Producer!

As for the Beginner Production Proficiency listed below, it was an assessment of one's gene production level.

Gene formulas varied in difficulty. The more difficult formulas one mastered, the greater the improvement to one's gene production abilities! Therefore, gene production proficiency could often be summarized by difficulty.

For example—

Wood Bear Gene Formula, difficulty: One-Star.

Black Tiger Gene Formula, difficulty: two stars.

If you mastered both formulas proficiently, your Beginner Gene Production level would be three stars! Only by continuously mastering different formulas could you improve your level as a Beginner Producer! And to become an Intermediate Producer required a terrifying one hundred stars!

As for Chen Feng, who had only just begun, he had not even reached One-Star yet.

"Take it slow."

Chen Feng was in no hurry.

Since the Luck Aura could take effect, his future was bright.

With the Wood Bear Gene finished, Chen Feng sealed the liquid inside a reagent bottle and wanted Uncle Zhang to help him take a look at the quality of the reagent he had made.

After tidying up a little, Chen Feng headed to the materials shop.

"Morning, Xiao Feng."

Uncle Zhang was always smiling.

"Morning, Uncle Zhang."

Chen Feng smiled and handed him the reagent. "Uncle Zhang, could you take a look at this reagent for me?"

"Sure, let me see."

Uncle Zhang took it and performed a gene test. His eyes immediately lit up. "Not bad. The quality is good—a standard Wood Bear Gene. Where did you buy this reagent..."

Uncle Zhang had been about to ask something when he suddenly froze. Staring at the familiar reagent bottle, his eyes widened. This seemed to be the one he had bought from him yesterday!

Could it be...

"This was made by you..."

Uncle Zhang suddenly asked in surprise.

"Shh!"

Chen Feng lowered his voice. "Uncle Zhang, this is a secret."

"Good kid!"

Uncle Zhang was excited.

Yesterday, he had still worried that the boy might not be able to get over it. Then, in the blink of an eye, he had become a Gene Producer? Heh heh, now that he was a Gene Producer, even if his cultivation was a little slower than those in university, he would not fall too far behind! Though he would need to invest more time and resources in the early stages, his future potential was absolutely limitless!

"Uncle Zhang, I'd like to buy a Gene Detection Chip."

Chen Feng smiled.

"Mm, that makes sense."

"Since you've become a Gene Producer, you can't keep coming here for tests. It's better to have a chip of your own. Wait a moment..."

Uncle Zhang searched for quite a while. "Here, this one."

It was a metal chip only one centimeter long and wide, another special product of this era—a chip! As long as it was installed inside a Wristband, the Wristband could use the chip's functions. This chip's function was to scan gene attributes!

Chen Feng unclasped his Wristband and installed the chip.

"Ding—"

"Installation successful!"

"Scan."

Chen Feng scanned the Gene Reagent he had just finished.

Wood Bear Gene.

Fusion Requirements: 10 Strength, 5 Constitution.

Base Attributes: 2 Strength, 2 Constitution.

Gene Ability: Wood Bear's Fury. Increases Strength by 10 points for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

Just as Uncle Zhang had said, these were the most standard Wood Bear Gene attributes. Though the stats were a little low, what they represented was anything but ordinary!

This was Chen Feng's first gene!

"Uncle Zhang, how much is this chip?"

Chen Feng asked.

"It's not worth much."

Uncle Zhang waved a hand. "It's rare for me to see a Gene Producer in person—heck, and he's even my neighbor. It's just a chip. Consider it a gift from Uncle Zhang."

"I..."

Chen Feng was about to refuse.

"Don't be in such a hurry to turn it down."

Uncle Zhang smiled. "You've only just started out. You'll soon learn how much money gene production burns through. I don't know how much you've saved up, but if it's only a few hundred thousand, you won't be able to buy many formulas. If you really want to repay me, do it after you make money in the future."

"Thank you."

Chen Feng was grateful.

According to what he had found online, a Gene Detection Chip cost at least a hundred thousand!

"It's nothing."

Uncle Zhang smiled. "It's not like I have any use for saving money anyway."

Chen Feng immediately grew solemn.

Uncle Zhang was in his forties, yet he had never married. In the original owner's memories, Uncle Zhang had simply drifted through life these past three years, the most ordinary of neighbors. Yet Chen Feng could sense something unusual about this uncle, however faint it was.

Perhaps...

Uncle Zhang had a story of his own when he was younger.

Chen Feng sighed inwardly.

"Oh, right."

Uncle Zhang suddenly spoke. "Have you heard of the Gene New Talent Competition?"

"No."

Chen Feng shook his head.

"I heard the Gene Production Association recently held some kind of Gene New Talent Competition. It seems young Gene Producers can all participate, and there are rewards as long as you pass the preliminary selection. Those with high rankings can also win formulas, prize money, and things like that. I don't know the details, but you can go take a look."

Uncle Zhang smiled. "You can give it a try. Even if you fail, it'll count as experience."

"Alright."

Chen Feng perked up.

In order to encourage everyone to learn gene production, the Gene Production Association often held various events. Chen Feng was not particularly interested, but if it was a competition for beginners, he could use his Luck Aura to earn some money. With that thought, Chen Feng bid Uncle Zhang farewell and headed home.

The scenery in the residential complex was as charming as ever.

Having successfully produced a gene, his future now seemed brighter, and Chen Feng's steps became lighter. Yet just as he was about to reach home, his pace faltered slightly.

That corner.

Beneath that shadow stood a faint figure.

"Long time no see."

The figure stepped out, a faint smile on his face.

"It's you."

Chen Feng's eyes immediately narrowed.

Wang Yue.

The class monitor of Senior Year Class 2. He was rather handsome, came from a well-off family, and had excellent grades. He was the most popular boy in high school, without question.

Of course, he had another identity—the mastermind behind the original owner's death!

"I heard you failed the entrance exam, so I came to take a look."

Wang Yue wore that familiar smile.

"Oh?"

Chen Feng smiled without smiling. "Congratulations on getting into Qingbei University."

Swish!

The smile on Wang Yue's face froze.

The scorching weather suddenly turned somewhat chilly.

The atmosphere—

Froze in an instant.

The icy killing intent in Wang Yue's eyes was unmistakable. Since Chen Feng had said that, it meant he had already guessed that Wang Yue was the mastermind behind everything!

"Interesting."

Wang Yue smiled with amusement. "You actually saw through it? Looks like I was wrong to have always treated you as a bookworm. But so what if you're a little clever? You don't really think you're stronger than us, do you? Let me tell you—the only reason you managed to take first place is because you're too stupid!"

"First!"

"Nearly all young masters of prestigious families fuse with powerful late-stage genes. Take me, for example—my Gene Ability is practically useless in the early stages, but later on, it can passively boost my mental strength by 50%! That's also the only reason your usual scores are a little higher than mine!"

"Because of your Gene Ability!"

"It might have a slight advantage right now, but it's still trash gene!"

"In the future..."

"It'll be practically useless!"

"In a sense, it's the same as the Wood Bear Gene—both are worthless. Nothing more."

"Second, in order to solidify students' basic qualities, all high school students are forbidden from using special resources to improve themselves. They can only advance through training. That's the only reason you were able to catch up to us! Once you get to university, you'll learn what a tenfold gap is, what a hundredfold gap is!"

"Poor guy..."

"Do you know that the college entrance exam is the only—and final—fair competition of your entire life?"

Wang Yue spoke indifferently.

With every sentence, he took a step forward.

A terrifying aura gathered around him. In that instant, the confidence and arrogance of a Young Master of a Prestigious Family surged forth like a tsunami crashing head-on. At this moment, he was the true Wang Yue!

Wang Yue—the gifted young man with an illustrious family background and outstanding grades!
