Ninth Generation Gene Enhancement Fluid

"Yes, we have them. The latest gene enhancement fluid is the Ninth Generation. But..." the beautiful store manager said uncertainly.

I knew it. Every time, there's a twist. It definitely has some obvious drawbacks, but the advantages are also very clear. It all depends on how you choose.

As expected, the beautiful store manager told Kerry about the latest Ninth Generation.

The Ninth Generation gene enhancement fluid didn't strengthen the physical body much more than the Eighth Generation. Its main enhancement was in the brain's capacity.

However, strengthening the brain is always very difficult, and it's not very stable. It's possible that after using it, an Ability Awakening might occur after some time.

Originally, most people used this potion hoping to get lucky and awaken an ability.

But Kerry was the opposite. According to his requirements, if an ability awakened, it would mean he couldn't meet the requirement of not having any other energy when starting two cultivation techniques. Therefore, it didn't suit Kerry's needs.

Kerry was also conflicted. The item was certainly good, but it involved gambling. If he got too lucky and awakened an ability, his entire plan would have to change.

Because the energy from an Ability Awakening and the energy from cultivation are different, one can always dissipate their cultivated energy, but how do you dissipate an ability?

"Boss, if I awaken an ability, can I wash it away later?" Kerry asked uncertainly.

"Customer, do you think this is a game where you can reset your stats? Unless you undergo a complete rebirth," the beautiful store manager took a while to understand what Kerry meant by "wash it away."

Sigh, still conflicted. The price of rebirth was too high; Kerry wouldn't consider it.

But other methods either took too long or were so expensive it made him want to quit.

Should he just use the Eighth Generation? Kerry was naturally unwilling to settle for a perfect start. If he hadn't known about the Ninth Generation, it would have been fine; a perfect start was the best. But now that he knew about the latest Ninth Generation, a perfect start felt a bit lackluster. Maybe he could aim for a dream start?

Fortune favors the bold; the timid starve.

Since he already had a Golden Finger, he should naturally be as bold as possible. Kerry decided to take a gamble.

"Boss, I don't have that many Points yet. Do you still have stock? I might need some time to buy it all. For now, I'll buy the Ninth Generation gene enhancement fluid." After serious thought and careful consideration.

Kerry spent a full 43 seconds making up his mind to bet big on the Ninth Generation gene enhancement fluid, hoping it wouldn't cause him to awaken an ability.

"Our Golden Apple Gift Shop has the most abundant supply. The current stock of Ninth Generation gene enhancement fluid is unlimited. We still have over a hundred Star Fruits, but our Eternal Crystal stock is low, with only 3 pieces left. However, rest assured, customer, we might receive a new shipment of Eternal Crystals during this period. Perhaps by the time you visit again, we'll have 4 pieces in stock."

Seeing that this sale was secured, the beautiful store manager was in a great mood. She was now revealing her inventory, which sounded very impressive.

The low stock of Eternal Crystals made Kerry feel a sense of urgency. However, the effect of these rare treasures was negligible after using them once.

Therefore, there were relatively few people who bought similar items. Having 3 pieces left meant there were only 3 spots left. He should be able to make it in time.

Kerry spent 100,000 Points, buying the most expensive item he had ever purchased: the Ninth Generation gene enhancement fluid, which was actually twice as expensive as the Eighth Generation.

Currently, the jellyfish capture rate was averaging around 10,000 per day. However, some members of the capture team had already reported that the large jellyfish were noticeably fewer. It was likely that the daily income of 10,000 Points wouldn't last long.

But Kerry was confident he could earn the 1,000,000 Points in a short period, which was about 100 days. He just didn't know how many he could capture daily once the large jellyfish became scarce.

If there weren't many, he could still use the undersea copper ore to supplement. Well, this time he needed to replenish some specialized Mining Robots.

Leaving the Golden Apple Gift Shop, Kerry went to the stall where he had previously bought Unit 001. The stall owner hadn't changed at all; half human, half machine. The guy acted as if he hadn't seen an old customer arrive, maintaining the same cold, indifferent attitude.

This time, there were more models on display than before, with some new additions.

There was a Bodyguard Robot and a Nanny Robot. The Bodyguard Robot was like the Terminator, with a robotic skeleton inside and simulated skin outside. Different models of bodyguard robots could be purchased based on various races.

However, due to the Dimensional Exchange's restrictions on weaponry, this borderline robot was also a de-fanged version. The bodyguard robot could not inflict fatal damage on a target, only maximize protection for its owner. Its methods were mostly non-lethal and defensive.

Honestly, this type of robot was a bit of a gimmick. Its strength could reach over 1000 jin, it was proficient in cold weapons and firearms, meeting the standards of a Level 2 Warrior. However, its speed was not fast, and it only defended and counter-attacked. It was probably only slightly better than the Level 1 warriors Kerry had hired.

The Nanny Robot was also not very comprehensive, with only a specialized model for childcare. Kerry didn't need that.

However, outside of these robots, a group of small robots looked quite novel. After reviewing their description, Kerry lost interest again.

Ceremonial Fireworks Robot. This was a small robot, sold in groups of 100.

The base had spider legs, allowing it to walk on complex terrain. It had two small mechanical arms. Overall, it looked like a small crab the size of a chair.

These robots had only two functions: cleaning and tidying, with their mechanical arms helping them with many cleaning tasks, and releasing fireworks.

When a group acted together, they could create pre-programmed fireworks displays. They would automatically adjust their angles based on weather conditions and terrain. In short, they were the fireworks robots commonly used by organizers for sports events and major competitions. After the fireworks, they could also clean up the venue. It was noted that this batch was second-hand.

Kerry wasn't so bored as to watch 100 robots put on a fireworks show every day. Seeing no other items on display, Kerry bought 4 Miner No. 5 (Comprehensive Type) robots, increasing the total number of comprehensive units like Unit 001 to five.

After returning home, he modified their names and numbers. From then on, there was no Unit 001, but Miner Guard No. 1 to Miner Guard No. 5. Then he directly purchased 10 Miner No. 5 (Specialized Type) robots, numbering them Miner No. 1 to Miner No. 10.

After completing the planned purchase of mining robots, Kerry's next focus was on medical robots. Kerry had previously planned to buy such robots to treat his Griffon.

"Boss, can these specialized medical robots treat animals?" Kerry didn't want to talk to the cold-faced boss, but the description of this robot was a bit vague, not specifying if it could also function as a veterinarian. So, he pointed to a medical robot and asked the boss.

Sorry for the slight delay.
