Lin Zichen's Inheritance

Luo Qianxue suddenly showed up and said she remembered everything, including her identity as Bai Xue, catching Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan completely off guard.

This was so sudden that it caught both of them off guard.

"Um... do you remember everything?"

Shen Qinghan snapped out of her daze and looked at Luo Qianxue, asking a question.

Luo Qianxue's voice was cold. "Hmm."

Then, the situation became a little awkward.

The three people standing at the door were unsure what to say next.

Although the three of them got along well in the second grade of elementary school.

But that was 12 years ago. So much time has passed, and the so-called friendship has long since faded.

Not to mention, this is just a friendship between children.

Children's friendships are the least friendly; they're the kind you forget in a few days, so fickle.

Would you like to come in and sit down?

Shen Qinghan, unusually proactive, invited, "I really miss my second grade days. Let's have some tea and chat about the fun times back then."

Faced with Shen Qinghan's invitation, Luo Qianxue refused without hesitation, saying, "No, I just came to tell you two that I remembered, that's all."

After saying that, Luo Qianxue turned and left, showing no intention of reminiscing, and was particularly indifferent.

Shen Qinghan was taken aback when she saw her turn and leave.

After a moment of realization.

Shen Qinghan opened her mouth, wanting to call out to Luo Qianxue to stay and have a chat.

But before he could utter a sound, Lin Zichen spoke first:

"Stop shouting, go back. It was just a trivial, brief moment in second grade, nothing to reminisce about."

"..."

Shen Qinghan didn't say anything, but just quietly watched Luo Qianxue's departing figure, feeling a little uneasy.

She figured it out.

That period in second grade was something only I cared about.

Neither Lin Zichen nor Luo Qianxue cared.

It turns out that from beginning to end, only I cared about the friendship between the three of us from back then.

Go back to the dormitory.

Close the dormitory door.

Shen Qinghan sat cross-legged on the bed, a hint of sadness in her voice, and asked, "Lin Zi, what are your thoughts on our friendship with Bai Xue from second grade?"

Lin Zichen said honestly, "It was just a minor incident from my childhood, nothing special."

"Is that so...?"

Shen Qinghan felt even more heartbroken.

Seeing that she was a little down, Lin Zichen gently massaged her soft, white feet while soothing her in a soft voice:

"It's related to personality. If you're more sentimental, you'll cherish every relationship, while someone like me and Luo Qianxue, who are more indifferent to relationships, won't care much and will feel it doesn't matter."

"But I don't think you're cold-hearted. You've been very, very good to me, and you've always spoiled me since I was little."

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips and said.

Being emotionally detached is a negative trait.

She didn't want Lin Zichen to have any flaws.

Lin Zichen was perfect in her eyes.

Lin Zichen said, "It's different. We grew up together since we were little, spending every day together since we can remember. This bond built up over the years can't be compared to a trivial elementary school friendship."

"That's true."

Shen Qinghan smiled, but it looked like a forced smile; she was still sad inside.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen didn't try to comfort him further.

This is a personality issue; soothing it won't help.

In the blink of an eye.

Several days have passed.

The battlefield outside the city was completely cleared, and life inside the city returned to normal.

Inside the city's Exchange Hall.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, carrying the Source Crystal they had looted from the great battle, lined up at a less crowded window to exchange their Source Crystal for Contribution Points.

Next, use contribution points to exchange for the necessary evolution resources.

About ten minutes passed.

Lin Zichen exchanged all the Source Crystal he brought for contribution points, totaling over 20,000.

Everyone in the hall was completely stunned.

In many people's eyes, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan are still a new couple who have only recently entered the Origin Land.

It's truly incredible that such a newcomer could achieve such great results in their first major battle.

He was met with shocked stares and murmurs from those around him.

Lin Zichen remained unmoved, silently moving to the other side to exchange the contribution points he had just earned for evolution resources.

More than 20,000 contribution points seem like a lot.

However, there are still more than 70,000 contribution points needed to redeem the cheapest Epic evolution resources.

Even the cheapest Epic- level resource requires at least 100,000 contribution points.

As this evolution progresses to later stages, the required evolutionary resources increase exponentially.

Sigh, this is too difficult...

Lin Zichen sighed inwardly.

After that, I exchanged all 20,000+ contribution points for rare-level evolution resources, specifically Exotic Fruit that could enhance my health and spirit.

Back in the dorm.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan each ate half of the Rare Tier Exotic Fruit they had obtained in the exchange, leaving not a single one behind.

After consuming more than ten Rare Tier Exotic Fruit.

A text message slowly emerged from the Void.

[Your Biological Rank has successfully evolved from "Rare Tier 3" to "Rare Tier 6"]

It evolved three more times in a row...

That's absolutely outrageous.

Lin Zichen looked at the notification message in the Void and felt a slight surge of excitement.

Compared to him, Shen Qinghan was not just excited, but extremely excited.

"Lin Zi, my Biological Rank has evolved to the fifth Rare Tier 5. What level have you evolved to?"

Shen Qinghan asked Lin Zichen with a face full of excitement.

Lin Zichen replied, "Rare sixth rank."

Shen Qinghan smiled sweetly and said, "I knew it was Rare sixth-tier. I've already evolved three levels, so you must have evolved three levels as well."

With the previous examples as references, she had figured out the evolutionary pattern between herself and Lin Zichen.

With the same evolutionary resources, her evolutionary improvement rate was almost the same as Lin Zi Zici's.

"Lin Zi, I don't understand. From childhood to adulthood, my evolutionary talent has always been far inferior to yours, so why am I able to keep up with you now?"

Shen Qinghan looked at Lin Zichen with her watery, peach-blossom eyes and asked him this question.

She only recently became aware of this problem.

Lin Zichen replied without hesitation, "Perhaps it's because your special physique has been further developed as you've grown older."

Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement, then asked again, "Lin Zi, what about you? Why is your evolutionary talent so amazing? I don't understand."

When they were little, Lin Zichen was amazing, and she just thought Lin Zichen amazing without thinking much about it.

But as she grew older and gained a deeper understanding of evolution, she began to have doubts.

Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin are both ordinary people, and Lin Zichen doesn't possess any inherited skills like himself, so what makes Lin Zichen such a genius?

"It might be a genetic mutation."

Lin Zichen didn't know how to explain to Shen Qinghan that he was actually a superhuman who transmigrated with a system, so he could only use genetic mutation as an excuse.

Shen Qinghan did not doubt Lin Zichen's words.

She had always trusted Lin Zichen since she was a child, believing that Lin Zichen would never lie to her.

If Lin Zichen is going to lie to her, then she hopes he'll lie to her for the rest of his life.

"Lin Zi, do you think... you might actually have some kind of special inheritance like me, but you just don't know it?"

Shen Qinghan's eyes darted around, and she suddenly uttered this guess.

Lin Zichen did not answer the question immediately, but fell into deep thought.

Special inheritance?

Is the system considered a form of inheritance?

I don't think so.

Also, the rate of improvement in my and Hanhan's evolution seems to be unbelievably large.

After consuming just a dozen or so Rare Tier Exotic Fruit, his Biological Rank increased by three levels.

For anyone else, it would be difficult to even advance one level.

Hanhan's evolution and improvement were so significant because she possessed the inheritance of the Water God.

And what about me?

What makes me capable of such a significant evolutionary improvement?

None of the Biological Attribute rewarded by the system can increase the rate of evolution.

Could it be... as Hanhan said, that I actually possess a lineage I've inherited, but I'm just unaware of it?

For example, Sanctification of the Flesh?

But what kind of inheritance is this Sanctification of the Flesh?

Also, my younger sister Lin Ziying's physical body is much stronger than mine at the same age. How come that's possible?

Could the root of this problem lie with the parents?

After all, my sister and I were both born to our parents.

Lin Zichen was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

In the blink of an eye.

Two weeks have passed.

In the past two weeks, apart from those whose job involves going out to explore, no one else in the city has gone out.

Everyone stayed in the city to recuperate.

Although the previous battle ended very quickly, many powerful figures were injured and need time to recover.

During this time, Qin Chuan provided Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan with evolution resources.

What was given to Shen Qinghan were water-attribute evolution resources, including the Underworld Other Shore Flower, Dusk Narcissus Grass, and Ice Crystal Demon Butterfly Pupa, among others.

The gifts given to Lin Zichen were Exotic Beast Meat that could strengthen the physical body, including the Blood Qilin Heart, Blood Flame Phoenix Feather, Nine-Turn Blood Ganoderma, Abyss Blood Ginseng, and so on.

This is preferential treatment for geniuses.

Before leaving, Qin Chuan tried to use his Mental Power to probe Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea again. As before, he was attacked on the spot, bleeding from all seven orifices and suffering severe damage to his soul.

After these two failed attempts, he dared not probe Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea again for a while.

The mental attack launched by the Water God Palace in Shen Qinghan's Consciousness Sea was truly terrifying.

Even someone with Biological Rank as high as the Legendary high rank couldn't withstand it.

After Qin Chuan left, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan immediately consumed the evolution resources that Qin Chuan had given them.

After consuming the evolutionary resources sent by Qin Chuan, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan's Biological Rank evolved again.

The former evolved from Rare sixth-tier to Rare eighth-tier.

The latter evolved from Rare Tier 5 to Rare sixth rank.

The latter's Biological Rank only evolved by one level, but its Mental Power strength was enhanced by far more than one level, and its Consciousness Sea expanded again, becoming even more vast and boundless.

"This is Rare eighth-tier item..."

Lin Zichen looked at his Biological Rank, his face full of confusion.

Since arriving at the Origin Land, evolution has been as easy as drinking water; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that anyone with hands can do it.

Back on Earth, I was stuck at the ordinary Tier 9 for a long time.

In the Origin Land, in less than a year, the Biological Rank evolved to the eighth tier of Rare, just two levels away from evolving into Epic creature.

The difference is like night and day.

Time flies.

Before you know it, several days have passed.

That morning.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Qin Chuan, the City Lord, announced this telepathically from his office:

--Starting today, the city is opening Biological Passage for returning to Earth. Those who need to can apply to the office director to return to Earth to visit relatives.

After each major battle, Qin Chuan would arrange for a trip back to Earth to visit relatives, in order to appease the emotions of the city dwellers.

Most people in the city have family and loved ones on the other side of the world.

Sending these soldiers who survived the war back to Earth to visit their families would be the best way to soothe people's hearts.

In the dormitory.

After hearing Qin Chuan's announcement, Shen Qinghan immediately opened her eyes and looked at Lin Zichen, who was on top of her, and said, "It's been almost a month since we've seen Mom and Dad. Should we apply to go back to Earth too?"

Having only spent a month in the Origin Land, Lin Zichen felt there was no need to return.

Seeing how much Shen Qinghan missed home, he considered it for a moment and finally agreed, saying, "Then let's apply to go back for a trip. I also want to go back and see my sister."

His younger sister, Lin Ziying, has even better physical abilities than he did when he was a child.

He was a little curious: how much development would his younger sister, Lin Ziying, have achieved in a month?

Can it run and jump?

Can he talk and sing?

Can I still do Olympiad math problems?

As he thought about it, he realized he might be going a little crazy.

My younger sister, Lin Ziying, is only two months old at most. How could she be so incredibly young?

Afternoon.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan took a nap and, feeling refreshed, went to the office to apply to return to Earth.

When the applications were submitted, the office director glanced at the two applicants' information and frowned slightly, saying:

"Lin, Shen, it's only been a month since you two went back to Earth, and now you want to apply to go back again. That's not quite in accordance with the rules."

"..."

Hearing this, Shen Qinghan felt upset.

She forgot that she had to stay in the Origin Land for at least three months before she could apply to return to Earth.

"In that case, let's apply again in two months."

Lin Zichen said calmly, then turned and left with Shen Qinghan.

He wasn't really that eager to go back to Earth; waiting another two months wouldn't be a problem.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing that Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were about to leave, the office director quickly called out to them.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan stopped and looked back at the office director with puzzled expressions, wondering what the director wanted.

The office director stood up from his seat and said with a friendly smile, "According to the regulations, you do need to stay for three months before you can apply to return to Earth."

"But... rules are rules, people are flexible."

"If you two really want to go back, I can help you arrange it, but you have to keep a low profile and not make a fuss."

The office director is trying to pull strings for Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan by approving their applications to return to Earth, in an attempt to curry favor with these two promising geniuses.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinghan's delicate face was filled with surprise.

Lin Zichen wasn't surprised.

As a top genius, he was used to being flattered by those around him since childhood, so it was only to be expected that he would be flattered by the office director of the Origin Land.

After all, the evolutionary talent he displayed in the Origin Land during this period far exceeded the comprehension of anyone in the city.

Such a top genius will surely evolve into Legendary Tier creature in the future and become the pillar of the Earth.

It might even evolve into Mythical Tier creature, able to roam freely in the Origin Land.

Any normal person would try their best to please such a genius.

It took a few minutes.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan completed their application to return to Earth to visit their relatives.

After completing the application.

The two didn't linger; they quickly left the office to return to Earth to visit their families.

While passing through the Biological Passage, Lin Zichen's mind was filled with thoughts of his younger sister, Lin Ziying.

He was really curious about how developed his two-month-old sister, Lin Ziying, was.
