Amidst swirling yellow sand and abandoned steel structures, an Off-Road Vehicle, covered in dust, departs from Qiongqi Mining.

Wang Wanrong acted as Chen Wang Chen Wang's driver, taking him to the Tianqi Thirteenth District.

She had long been accustomed to Chen Wang's ruthless way of doing things, and was even somewhat grateful for Chen Wang trust.

Furthermore, Chen Wang didn't let her come back to get it herself, but went with her, which provided a kind of security.

However, Chen Wang was actually confident because he felt he had the ability to handle the situation, and also because he believed Wang Wanrong couldn't do it.

Since even with his merits, he faced numerous difficulties applying for Tier 4 Potion at Qiongqi Mining, and now that a Tier 4 Potion was right in front of him, Chen Wang felt it was necessary to take the risk.

As they approached Tianqi Thirteenth District, Wang Wanrong changed her appearance. She applied simple makeup and changed out of her usual married woman's attire—loose hair, dress—into casual clothes, put her hair up, and wore a hat.

She dyed her hair blonde and wore black-rimmed glasses.

Some simple disguise is still necessary, mainly to avoid unnecessary trouble.

When the two arrived at the Shelter, Chen Wang did not proceed to the place Wang Wanrong had mentioned.

Instead, they took a stroll around the Shelter.

He possesses exceptional mental strength and keen senses.

I learned a little about the situation here.

"I didn't realize you were so cautious," Wang Wanrong said.

Chen Wang had always given her the impression of being unreasonable, rude, and domineering.

They kill without hesitation, and their methods are extremely bloody.

But from the moment Chen Wang asked her to dye her hair, Wang Wanrong felt that this young man was not as arrogant and rude as he appeared on the surface.

"Are you sure there was no information leaked when this residence was registered?" Chen Wang asked.

Wang Wanrong said seriously, "I had someone buy it anonymously before, which is a backup plan so no one will know."

Chen Wang nodded.

"I hope so."

He and Wang Wanrong drove to an Apartment Building and parked the car.

The two went down together and arrived at a room on the sixth floor.

Chen Wang glanced at room number 0612 and used his mental power to scan the room, but there was no one inside.

After finding nothing unusual in the surrounding rooms, he signaled to Wang Wanrong to unlock the door.

Wang Wanrong took out the key, not underestimating Chen Wang's caution, but rather feeling somewhat impressed.

"It would be an outrageous thing if someone like that didn't do well in the Winter."

Wang Wanrong and Chen Wang went inside together.

This is a relatively simple apartment, and the decoration is also very simple.

After rummaging through them, Wang Wanrong finally found a box in a hidden compartment.

"It was really well hidden."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

This box clearly belongs to the Morning Star Research Institute. Inside, there was a letter, a bottle of medicine, and some documents.

Chen Wang picked it up and his eyes lit up immediately. "A fourth-tier Mind Magician!"

Chen Wang had never been injected with this kind of drug before, and he took a closer look.

The abilities of Mind Magician are among the few auxiliary directions, but they are located very early in the Gene Sequence.

It has two skills in total. One is blessing, which greatly increases the strength, agility and physical recovery ability of the person being blessed. It is an extremely terrifying value.

Another skill is healing, which is most effective for external injuries. Although it can't regenerate severed limbs, it can also instantly heal injuries that would otherwise be fatal, such as a punctured heart, if treated in time.

Chen Wang looked at the thick stack of documents beside him, and still couldn't help but breathe rapidly.

"Holy crap, that's awesome?"

Although it was considered a support ability, Chen Wang found it to be very useful.

Especially the second healing skill, which can even save someone from a heart-piercing wound if treated in time.

"That's amazing!"

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

Wang Wanrong picked up the letter and began to read it. She was more interested in the contents of the letter than the medicine.

As Chen Wang looked at the explanations from the Morning Star Research Institute, he became increasingly interested in this Tier 4 Potion.

"To administer this medicine, one must be a third-level Mind Master."

Upon seeing the contents of the instructions, Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. It turned out that this potion was an advanced version for Mind Master type of cultivator).

"Apart from that, there are no other restrictions, but this Gene Serum has an extremely high lethality rate."

"The mortality rate is 30% higher than that of ordinary Tier 4 Potion!"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

He didn't know how the Morning Star Research Institute determined the 30% figure.

Furthermore, he was unaware of the lethality of Tier 4 Potion.

"If the lethality rate of Tier 4 Potion is already 70%, then adding 30% makes it 100%, which means we're doomed?"

Chen Wang's lips twitched. He decided to go back and consult with relevant people and check some information.

Chen Wang carefully read the instructions for the Mind Magician potion, and one sentence in particular caught his attention. "It will randomly overwrite some of your original abilities, and you will not regain them."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

"In other words, some of the abilities of Mind Magician injects this Tier 4 Potion will disappear, and it's all random."

"Is it because this Genetic Ability is too domineering?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

Tier 4 Soldier focus more on their inherent abilities, like the Fire Element Tier 4 Soldier Chen Wang killed last time.

Their Flame Ability are extremely powerful, reaching the point of being able to transform into human form at will, and their power is immense.

"It seems that once you reach the fourth tier, it's not so easy to follow the Mixed Medicine Path." Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

However, the random overwriting capability was a bit of a headache for him.

He possesses many Genetic Ability that he uses as his trump card, and they are extremely powerful.

Taking someone by surprise can achieve better results.

Therefore, a look of hesitation appeared in Chen Wang's eyes for a moment.

Turning his head, he saw Wang Wanrong still reading the letter and asked, "How is it? Did you leave any clues?"

Wang Wanrong took a deep breath and handed the letter to Chen Wang.

"This mentions a Deification Project, which is said to be a revolutionary experiment. He didn't know much about it, and it was this Deification Project that led to his death."

Wang Wanrong said.

Chen Wang glanced at the contents of the letter and raised an eyebrow.

The above involves a name: Teng Weiguo.

"Was it done by Teng Weiguo?" Chen Wang asked.

"That's right, he's my husband's direct superior, and he holds a very high position. He was just transferred here in the last six months," Wang Wanrong said.

This matter must involve some secrets, including some power games.

Chen Wang didn't think much of it. For him, this kind of thing wasn't too important. The most important thing was the bottle of Tier 4 Potion in his hand.

Wang Wanrong took a deep breath. "I want to ask you to help me get revenge and kill this Teng Weiguo."

Chen Wang nodded. "Killing is fine, but there are some things you need to tell me clearly, such as your husband's occupation, workplace, and detailed information about him."

Wang Wanrong took a deep breath. "Okay!"

The more questions Chen Wang asked, the more genuine Chen Wang desire to help her get revenge became.

In Wang Wanrong's view, Chen Wang was a ruthless killer who acted rudely. She had already given him the Tier 4 Potion, so if he didn't want to help her take revenge, there was no need for him to deceive her.

Wang Wanrong then began to talk about the situation in Apocalypse, as well as the details of Teng Weiguo.

Teng Weiguo 43 years old this year. He used to be the captain of a special operations team in the military, but later, for some unknown reason, he was transferred to a civilian position.

He is a Tier 2 Gene Soldier, Eagle Eye.

Wang Wanrong's husband is a civilian employee who is responsible for the statistics of some military weapons research. He currently oversees three groups within the strategic weapons program.

Teng Weiguo was the head of one of the groups.

This person has a powerful background; he was assigned as a team leader as soon as he was transferred here.

There are rumors that Teng Weiguo is backed by a Apocalypse, and that his resume is fake, but these things are impossible to verify now.

"A military officer with a powerful background, and an ordinary technician."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow after hearing this.

He was unaware of the situation at Apocalypse headquarters.

However, he had applied for Fourth Order Genetic Potion himself, and obtaining a quota was extremely difficult.

"Who was originally supposed to receive this quota of potions for a fourth-tier Mind Magician?"

"Or is this person not even a real person, and this is just a sample from a research study?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Chen Wang's eyes.

The Mind Magician's Gene Serum sequence is very high.

Although it's a support ability, it's probably very useful in the eyes of some powerful figures.

Its second ability to treat external injuries is even more impressive than some high-tech medical technologies.

What exactly is the "Deification Project"?

Although Chen Wang was interested in the potion, he also wanted to know more about this Deification Project.

"I wonder what information the higher-ups at Winter have obtained. Legend has it that the highest level is a fifth-tier Gene Warrior. Is the fifth tier the upper limit of Gene Serum? Or have they made some breakthroughs, and are fifth-tier serums already under research, or have they already succeeded?"

"Furthermore, a third-tier Mind Master can use mental power to refine the special power within an antique. Am I the only one who knows this?"

"Did any other Mind Master intentionally or unintentionally trigger this condition and become aware of this matter?"

Chen Wang took a deep breath, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

He lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and recalled the first time he met Bai Yao, a researcher at the Morning Star Research Institute. Bai Yao had mentioned a special potion that was said to be able to overturn the Winter: Night Wanderer.

Chen Wang took a drag of his cigarette and stopped abruptly, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "Is this Night Wanderer related to the Deification Project?"

He now has many questions in his mind.

After leaving the apartment, Chen Wang and Wang Wanrong drove away.

Once Wang Wanrong calmed down, she realized that killing such a person would be extremely difficult and could not be done on a whim; it required careful planning.

Furthermore, Wang Wanrong was unaware of this person's private residence.

She is the team leader for strategic planning research, and she should usually be in the same office as her husband.

However, team leader Wang Wanrong was always on assignment abroad, and she didn't know where her husband's office was.

She wasn't stopped or questioned along the way, but Wang Wanrong's feelings were very complicated.

Teng Weiguo's identity is mysterious, and he works in a special department, making it extremely difficult to find his whereabouts.

Even with Chen Wang's help, the difficulty is still considerable.

However, Wang Wanrong had already composed herself by this time.

As an overseas liaison officer for Apocalypse, she possesses exceptional mental fortitude.

However, he was suddenly attacked and was momentarily thrown into Square Inch.

Things are much better now. With Chen Wang agreeing to help, Wang Wanrong feels much more at ease.

When they returned to the Qiongqi Mining Shelter, Chen Wang took Wang Wanrong back to his home and arranged for her to stay.

"Stay here for two days, and I'll arrange a place for you to stay."

Chen Wang said.

"No need, I'll stay here for one night, and I'll find a place to stay tomorrow," Wang Wanrong shook her head.

Chen Wang didn't seem to mind. "Please choose any of these guest rooms."

After saying that, he went to his room on the second floor.

His villa is exquisitely decorated.

After returning to his room, Chen Wang took out the box again and took a deep breath.

"We got the Tier 4 Potion just like that?"

A hint of joy flickered in Chen Wang's eyes, although he was somewhat worried about the coverage of Genetic Ability and safety issues.

Even so, obtaining a Fourth Order Genetic Potion still made Chen Wang very happy.

"Is this because I've been doing too many good deeds, and medicine just falls from the sky while I'm sitting at home?"

Chen Wang smiled.

He did nothing on this trip; he simply sat in the passenger seat and accompanied Wang Wanrong to the Apocalypse Shelter. He obtained Tier 4 Potion, and it was for a high-ranking Mind Magician.

"I really didn't want to get something for nothing, but when luck comes, you can't stop it!"

Chen Wang smiled.

After a short rest, he went out to retrieve information from the authorities.

With his extremely high level of authority, he quickly learned some information about the Mind Magician.

Although this Gene Serum is an auxiliary ability, its sequence is extremely high.

There is no definitive answer regarding the mortality rate.

Moreover, after reviewing a lot of information, Chen Wang found that the mortality rate when upgrading Tier 4 Potion is not particularly high, mainly depending on the individual.

Furthermore, Tier 4 Potion are relatively rare, and there has never been sufficient data to support the claim of their lethality.

"They insisted on setting it at 30%, it scared me!"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He cast a Law Technique and carefully tested the potion, finding no problems.

"Even the strongest defense can be broken. This skill can heal fatal external injuries and is also a personal ability. I must get it!"

Chen Wang took a deep breath.

The night was cool and still. Chen Wang looked out the window and saw a gloomy gray sky.

"The air quality in this place, Winter, is really bad. I'll return to the Cultivation World after injecting this Tier 4 Potion."

Wang Wanrong herself knew that she needed to plan carefully and gather information to understand the man's movements. Wang Wanrong would do this herself.

After thinking it over carefully, Chen Wang finished his meal and immediately injected the Tier 4 Potion.

With a sudden boom, a very peculiar sensation swept over me.

However, it wasn't excruciating pain; rather, it felt as if I were soaking in a hot spring, with a strange sense of weightlessness, as if I were about to float away.

"This medicine is quite interesting."

This lasted for a long time, about half an hour, and Chen Wang still felt lightheaded.

Moreover, he State of Mind remarkably calm, even unusually calm.

The influence of Mind Magician can make a person exceptionally peaceful and compassionate; however, at this moment, Chen Wang had accumulated a strong killing intent within him, which he had not yet released.

Surprisingly, this negative effect was neutralized.

"This medicine is good, it feels quite comfortable."

Chen Wang laughed.
