Chapter 19: Extra Talent Card – Genetic Information Flow Control
In the afternoon.
Tokyo—Shinjuku District.
After wrapping up the matter in Arakawa District.
Xi Shenlian had fully begun wandering around aimlessly.
No longer confining his range of activity to within Arakawa District.
And his first stop was one of the bustling districts—the area with the highest concentration of bars, nightclubs, dance parties... Shinjuku District!
Xi Shenlian recalled that in his previous world, Tokyo City was divided into twenty-three wards.
But in this world.
Tokyo City was divided into sixty-five wards.
The Tokyo metropolitan area, centered on Tokyo City, had a total population of roughly two hundred and twenty million.
That accounted for one-third of Dongying's entire population.
Of the remaining two-thirds.
Half were occupied by the Kyoto metropolitan area, centered on Kyoto City.
The last remaining population was scattered across Dongying's other regions, forming those less prosperous ordinary areas and rural places.
Thus.
To put it bluntly.
Tokyo City and Kyoto City fully symbolized Dongying's present and past.
One was a burgeoning metropolis, relatively close to the sea, leaning more toward modernization.
The other was an ancient capital with a history spanning tens of thousands of years, positioned more inland, with a cityscape leaning toward historical antiquity.
Because Tokyo City in this world was truly vast in scope.
Even riding a high-speed train exceeding five hundred kilometers per hour.
Xi Shenlian still took several hours to get from Arakawa District to Shinjuku District.
And the moment he stepped out of the train.
Watching the endless flow of the crowd, he couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Compared to Arakawa District, which had little to see.
This place was undoubtedly more in line with his definition of pleasure.
At this moment.
He casually used today's Mood Value Lottery chance.
Before long.
A purple card appeared in his hand.
Extra Talent Card – Genetic Information Flow Control.
Effect: Allows the user to freely control the flow of all their genetic information. That is, unless the user permits it, outsiders cannot obtain any of the user's genetic information through any means, including but not limited to hair sampling, bodily fluid sampling, blood sampling, bone sampling...
"?"
After spending two seconds understanding its meaning.
Xi Shenlian finally grasped the general gist of this thing.
It meant that once he used this Extra Talent, unless he allowed it, even if outsiders got hold of his blood or other stuff, they wouldn't be able to obtain his DNA or any physiological data—they'd only get useless gibberish or false results he provided, making him completely immune to methods like cloning, bloodline curses, and the like.
Of course, the specific uses of this thing definitely weren't limited to that.
For instance, when Xi Shenlian held this thing, he instinctively turned his gaze toward a large electronic screen not far away.
On it was displayed the general map and traffic of the entire Shinjuku District.
And on it.
Among the many areas, one place stood out conspicuously.
Kabukicho!
The moment he saw that thought-provoking place name, and then looked at the item in his hand, Xi Shenlian instantly grasped its wonderful application.
"Dammit!!"
"Isn't this making This Seat commit wrongdoing?!"
For a moment.
His fist clenched tight!!
Then.
He used the Extra Talent Card – Genetic Information Flow Control.
No way.
Xi Shenlian was a frugal man.
He simply couldn't stand wasteful behavior!
Then he walked out of the subway station and hailed a taxi.
The driver was a young man with a somewhat weathered face.
Young, meaning he was about twenty-something.
Weathered, meaning his complexion looked like he'd gone at it twenty times a day, utterly devoid of life.
One look at him and you'd silently shake your head.
"Where to, bro?"
The driver's inquiry.
Cold and utterly emotionless!
Xi Shenlian's answer was ten banknotes of ten thousand yuan each.
Their presence was like a dose of good medicine.
It instantly made the driver's murky eyes burst with sharp light.
He was revived.
As fast as if someone had cast a resurrection spell on him.
Freed from that living death on the spot!
At this moment, Xi Shenlian spoke with an air of righteousness:
"Take me to the best spot in Kabukicho."
"I want to go there and critique the filth and depravity of modern society!"
Hearing this, The driver flashed a sly grin:
"Don't worry, I'll make you satisfied."
--
Soon after, In a blur of speed, Xi Shenlian arrived at his destination.
As he stepped out of the taxi, He saw the neon lights and revelry!
He saw the bustling traffic!
He saw the myriad lights of homes!
He saw slender, graceful ladies!
He saw blazing passion!
But none of this had anything to do with Xi Shenlian.
All he felt was a hint of confusion.
'Which Malede Gobi place actually handles Important Business around here?'
Yeah.
Right now, He didn't care much about the glitz and glamour.
He just wanted something straightforward.
But having never been here before, he was a bit lost on where to start.
Still, Xi Shenlian's dashing charm was plain for all to see.
Besides, The right things
Often meet the right people.
It's like gravity.
Gravity connects the two together!
So.
When he felt a slight confusion...
His presence was like a blazing sun, automatically drawing countless gazes, So the right person appeared quickly.
It was a mature, alluring woman in a high-end black kimono and wooden clogs.
After sizing up Xi Shenlian with a few glances, her lips sealed in a smile, she pointed at a nearby shop that looked quite upscale and invited:
"Handsome, wanna come play?"
"We've got plenty of beauties and special services inside~"
Just two sentences.
And that meaningful look.
It instantly won Xi Shenlian over.
"Let's go!!"
--
A few minutes later.
Watching Xi Shenlian tap away at the selection interface on the tablet, The woman was a bit puzzled.
'Why is he picking all the ones who aren't that good-looking?'
'This guy doesn't look like he's short on cash...'
As a saleswoman with solid skills, she trusted her eye for people.
Xi Shenlian, just from his clothes, screamed super-VIP!
And his looks were top-notch—the kind of guy who, if something went wrong, everyone would assume he was the one getting taken advantage of.
If she hadn't already switched careers, she'd have wanted to take the job herself.
Then, still puzzled, she heard Xi Shenlian say:
"Except for the ones I've picked out, I want all the rest!"
And on the tablet, the count showed 17/82.
"?"
"Oh, and do you take orders yourself?"
The woman thought for a second.
"...I do."
And so.
Xi Shenlian went off-grid in that evil, terrifying, fearsome, corrupting, capitalistically dangerous place.
Off-grid for a full ten days and ten nights!!
Gotta say.
That's really worrying!!! (scared face.jpg)
