The Powerful Machine God Group

After the meal.

Lin Zichen took out the 10 pounds of Living Dead Slug meat from the refrigerator and, without avoiding Shen Qinghan, chose to devour it directly in front of her.

[You have devoured a large amount of the Life Origin of the "Living Dead Slug"]

[Album of Living Dead Slug: 10%]

After devouring it, Lin Zichen put the useless Living Dead Slug meat into a garbage bag, intending to throw it away outside on his way downstairs.

"Xiao Chen, why are you Living Dead Slug meat in a garbage bag?"

Shen Qinghan asked with a puzzled look.

In her eyes, Lin Zichen simply took the Living Dead Slug meat out of the refrigerator, touched the meat with his finger, and then put it in a garbage bag, which looked very strange.

Lin Zichen explained, "These Living Dead Slug have already gone bad; we need to throw them away."

"It's spoiled?" Shen Qinghan was a little confused. "But when I signed for the package for you, it looked very fresh."

Lin Zichen said, "The meat was fresh when you signed for it, but I've already absorbed all the essence from it, so it will spoil quickly."

"Absorb the essence from the meat?"

Shen Qinghan was a little confused, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Is this your superpower?"

Lin Zichen nodded. "Yes, this is my superpower. I can absorb the essence from the flesh of Exotic Beast Meat with a thought, thereby gaining some of the abilities of those Exotic Beasts."

He stopped hiding it and shared his secret of being able to devour the Exotic Beast Meat with Shen Qinghan without any reservations.

Since they've been living together for a while, and things have progressed too quickly, Shen Qinghan will inevitably start to have doubts sooner or later. It's better to tell her now.

We got married right after graduation, so we share our secrets; there's nothing to hide.

"Absorb the essence of Exotic Beast Meat to gain the attributes of that Exotic Beast?"

Shen Qinghan was shocked; her cherry-like mouth opened instinctively, her face filled with disbelief.

After a moment of realization, and digesting this earth-shattering secret, she exclaimed with sudden understanding, "No wonder you didn't choose the Gene Fusion Path, but insisted on becoming Pure-Blood Human Path. With this superpower, there's no need for Gene Fusion at all."

After saying that, she quickly became somewhat dejected and said, "I thought that with my 21% Gene Fusion compatibility, I would definitely become as powerful as you in the future, and that we would be known as the Peerless Twin Stars, and that this would be passed down from generation to generation. Now it seems that I was just overthinking it."

Lin Zichen laughed and said, "Isn't the word 'husband and wife' much more valuable than the phrase 'Peerless Twin Stars'?"

Shen Qinghan said somewhat coquettishly, "But I just want to be known as Peerless Twin Stars alongside you!"

They will be known as the Peerless Twin Stars.

Lin Zichen gently comforted him, "You have an unknown superpower. Once this superpower is developed, you might be even more powerful than me."

"That seems to be true."

Shen Qinghan blinked her clear eyes.

She said it was true, but in her heart she didn't think so at all.

Lin Zichen's superpower is too amazing, ridiculously so. There probably isn't a superpower in the world that's more incredible.

She knew very well that she could never be considered one of Lin Zichen's Peerless Twin Stars in her lifetime.

She had only one wish: that she wouldn't fall too far behind Lin Zichen in the future, that she wouldn't become a burden to him, and that she could provide him with help.

Yes, that's enough.

While thinking about all this, Shen Qinghan belatedly realized something else.

Xiao Chen actually agreed to tell me such an important secret?

Does this mean that I am the most important person in his heart?

That's definitely right!

Thinking of this, Shen Qinghan's mood immediately improved, and she completely forgot about the regret of not being able to be called the Peerless Twin Stars.

2:45 PM.

Lin Zichen didn't go to the research institute, but instead followed Shen Qinghan to the gymnasium to watch the match between the 8th and 9th ranked players on the Peak Ranking.

Many people came to watch the game, including teachers, students, and members of the Machine God Group.

The Machine God Group is now the largest partner of the Mechanical Academy at Shanhai University. 80% of the Alloy Equipment used in the Mechanical Academy is provided by the Machine God Group.

With such substantial financial resources supporting the Mechanical Academy, the Machine God Group has two objectives.

First, promote Mechanical Modification to prove that it is no weaker than Gene Fusion, and may even be stronger, because Mechanical Modification is more universal and there are far more people who are suitable for Mechanical Modification than those who are suitable for Gene Fusion.

Second, to expand the group's influence, one requirement of the cooperation is that the Mechanical Academy of Shanhai University must send graduates to the Machine God Group every year.

In summary, the Machine God Group simply wants to expand its influence.

"Xiao Chen, look at the second-floor corridor! That Mechanical Genius Girl we often see online is up there right now."

Shen Qinghan nudged Lin Zichen, gesturing for him to look upstairs.

Lin Zichen had already seen it.

At this moment, in the corridor on the second floor, the people from the Machine God Group were with the leaders of the Mechanical Academy.

The Mechanical Genius Girl in the story has more than half of her body made of alloy, making her very eye-catching.

"Xiao Chen, if the genius from Capital University were to fight that Mechanical Genius Girl upstairs, who would be stronger?"

Shen Qinghan asked curiously.

She first heard the phrase "Peerless Twin Stars" from a marketing campaign featuring a genius from Capital University and Mechanical Genius Girl. She had always been curious about which of these two top geniuses from different fields was stronger.

Lin Zichen was also very curious about this question.

However, despite years of marketing hype surrounding the Capital University genius and the Mechanical Genius Girl, they have never actually faced off.

Because both sides know that there is no benefit to fighting, only harm.

As long as they don't fight each other and no one is clearly stronger, this topic can continue indefinitely.

This is good for both sides.

"I think we can roughly determine who is stronger, the genius from Capital University or the Mechanical Genius Girl, just by watching who wins the next match."

"If the 9th-ranked Mechanical Student wins, then the Mechanical Genius Girl is even more impressive."

"If the 8th- Evolution Student wins, then the genius from Capital University is even more impressive."

Lin Zichen analyzed the situation logically and with evidence.

The Mechanical Student ranked 9th on the Peak Ranking has undergone modifications made by the Machine God Group, which perfectly reflects the Machine God Group's strength.

If the 9th-ranked Mechanical Student can successfully defeat the 8th-ranked Evolution Student, it means that Mechanical Modification is stronger than Gene Fusion.

This, to some extent, reflects that the Mechanical Genius Girl is stronger than the genius from Capital University.

Of course, these are all speculative and may not be accurate.

Soon, it was 3 p. m.

Amidst much anticipation, the two participants in this duel took to the stage.

The eighth-ranked Evolution Student is a young man with a pair of bull horns on his head.

The ninth-ranked Mechanical Student is a young man whose body is covered with a mechanical exoskeleton.

The moment the two stepped onto the stage.

Four high-strength transparent glass walls were erected around the Martial Platform to protect the audience from being accidentally injured by the athletes on stage.

Like Mechanical Student, when they fight, it's all about artillery fire and bullets flying everywhere.

If it weren't for the glass walls, the audience would be lying down before the match even ended.

For the same reason, there were no referees on the Martial Platform.

"The duel begins!"

At the command broadcast, the two on the Martial Platform instantly clashed.

In an instant, the Martial Platform was engulfed in a hail of fire, the deafening roar of various firearms erupting, thick smoke billowing, and visibility plummeting.

Fortunately, Lin Zichen possesses the Biological Attribute [Eye of the Sky], granting him eyesight far exceeding that of ordinary people.

Even though the Martial Platform was filled with smoke, he could still see the battle clearly.

At the start of the duel, the Mechanical Student used its Anti-Airflow Propulsion Device to fly into the sky and unleash a barrage of firepower on the Evolution Student below.

Unable to attack the Mechanical Student, the Evolution Student protected their heads and cowered on the Martial Platform, enduring the barrage of firepower from the Mechanical Student's weapons.

In just a few moments, the Evolution Student was riddled with bullet holes, and many parts of it were blown apart.

He didn't die, but he was covered in blood and became very weak.

After unleashing its ammunition, the Mechanical Student landed on the ground, switched to melee mode, and engaged in close combat with the severely injured Evolution Student, each punch landing with brutal force.

The close-quarters combat likely lasted several minutes.

The final result was that the Evolution Student was beaten to the point of being lying on the Martial Platform, barely alive.

The Mechanical Student, on the other hand, only had some cracks in his mechanical exoskeleton, but it still looked quite intact.

When the result of the duel was announced, a murmur of discussion immediately arose in the audience.

"In the past, the Evolution Academy could easily dominate the Mechanical Academy, but since the Machine God Group and the Mechanical Academy started cooperating, this situation has been reversed."

"Yes, mechanical technology is amazing. If it weren't for the fact that Mechanical Modification requires giving up the physical body, I would want to become Mechanical Cyborg myself."

"After today's battle, I feel that the power structure of the school is about to change drastically."

"It's not as exaggerated as you all say. Mechanical Cyborg only have an advantage in the early stages, taking advantage of the fact that low-level Gene Fusionist can't fly, and gaining the upper hand through aerial attacks."

"Indeed, once the Biological Rank is high enough, many Gene Fusionist will have the ability to fly. At that level, Mechanical Cyborg will be at a disadvantage."

"That requires a sufficiently high Biological Rank. For ordinary people like us, the highest Biological Rank we can reach in our lifetime is the Advanced level. Discussing anything higher is simply meaningless."

"Yes, at the university level, I feel that the Mechanical Academy is really about to turn things around."

No one expected that the 9th-ranked Mechanical Student would win so easily, basically beating the 8th-ranked Evolution Student like a dog the whole time.

It can only be said that the behemoth that is Machine God Group is powerful enough to exponentially increase a person's strength through mechanical technology.

Lin Zichen listened to everyone's discussion for a while.

He didn't care at all which school, the Evolution Academy or the Mechanical Academy, would be more powerful in the future.

He only cares about one thing now: how many Credit can the top 10 on the Peak Ranking earn in a month?

Thinking about it, he searched for relevant information on the school's app and quickly found the answer.

The first place student can earn 1000 Credit per month.

The second-place student can earn 900 Credit per month.

The third-place student can earn 800 Credit per month.

And so on, up to the tenth place, where you can earn 100 Credit per month.

In addition to the Credit reward information mentioned above, I also saw information about the ranking rules for the Peak Ranking.

1. Freshmen must participate in the Newcomer Tournament of the next semester before they can compete for the Peak Ranking.

2. Each player has only one chance to challenge the Peak Ranking each week, and when attempting to reach the Peak Ranking, they cannot challenge opponents ranked 50 places higher than themselves.

You only have one chance to climb the rankings each week, and you cannot challenge opponents ranked 50 places higher than yourself.

The Peak Ranking has a total of 500 rankings.

In other words, starting from the Newcomer Tournament next semester, it would take at least 10 weeks to reach the top.

The Newcomer Tournament starts in the middle of the second semester, so if I calculate it, I'll have to wait until near the end of the second semester to reach the top of the Peak Ranking.

"It feels like it's been a bit too long."

Lin Zichen muttered to himself.
