Preparing to Head to Qinmeng
"Herseys rank 549th in genetic utility, significantly lower than Crane Bird ' 173rd place!"
The Crane Bird's graceful form gave rise to rudimentary Gene Fighting Technique such as Crane Form Fist.
But egrets aren't so lucky. At least the Scarlet Alliance State doesn't have the Heron Style Fist; they only have the Wave-Stepping Leap, which allows them to briefly use the water's surface to run.
"I wonder if I'll still have the ability to Crane Soaring Backward Flight in the future!"
If we disregard the fact that herons outperform Crane Bird in deterrent-type Gene Fighting Technique, this genetic mutation would be a step backward.
Zhang Xuezhou even had to consider the loss of some useful skills.
But there are always gains and losses; he has a very good attitude and is able to let go of things.
"To be honest, this 'Crane Soaring Backward Flight isn't particularly useful. If someone places some sharp objects behind me, I might accidentally get stuck while flying backward, and that could be my death!"
After reassuring himself several times and finding fault with Crane Soaring Backward Flight, Zhang Xuezhou ate an extra serving of Black-Tipped Chicken, hoping to solidify the genetic changes within his body.
"That's unscientific and makes no sense!"
Ren Yisheng has been checking Zhang Manqian's genetic data over the past few days, and even obtained the test reports of Zhang Weimeng and Song Fengying.
There were only four witnesses involved in the Sinkhole No. 2, and he checked them repeatedly.
But Ren Yisheng ultimately had to stop his investigation.
Apart from Zhang Xuezhou, the genetic data of the other three individuals did not show any special changes.
If we have to say something special, it's that this family's genetic makeup is a bit messy, with the two children's genes not matching their parents' dominant sheep genes.
"My condition is very likely due to the change from eating Black-Tipped Chicken," Zhang Xuezhou said. "You should remember that I used to eat guinea fowl every day when I was at the university, which could also be a way of changing that."
"Playing PUBG?"
Ren Yisheng glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, then at the plate in front of Zhang Xuezhou.
He felt that Zhang Xuezhou's experience was useless.
If genetic evolution requires feeding, then the alien beasts or genetically modified organisms involved will suffer somewhat.
Eating a whole elephant or mosasaur might be something they could never accomplish in their lifetime.
Zhang Xuezhou feeds on thousands of guinea fowl, and now he has set up a special Black-Tipped Chicken farm for them. Ren Yisheng just thinks about this way of eating and he thinks that no normal person could do it.
However, there is some truth to what Zhang Xuezhou said. Injecting blood agents can adjust various gene indicators, and consuming related organisms may have caused unnoticed modifications to the human body.
To achieve this effect, you need both the ability to eat and a sufficient supply of ingredients.
Unfortunately, very few people can meet these conditions.
For example, the Zhou Household may have a certain number of exotic beasts such as Black Tortoise, but whether these people can continue to eat them is a big question.
Eating once or twice may not be a big deal, but to eat every day, every meal, requires a skill that is beyond the reach of most people.
Even the most resilient Sequence Holder would find it difficult to withstand such torment.
"Why can you eat so much?" Ren Yisheng asked, puzzled. "Don't you ever get tired of the same food?"
"It's like eating rice; once you get used to it, it's fine!"
"If I want the giant elephant genes within me to continue driving changes Wuyang, would I have to eat a thousand giant elephants?"
"Then we'll have to ask Brother Wuyang to test it out!"
Ren Yisheng ultimately gave up on this test.
"I'm a little envious of the genetic characteristics of small creatures," Ren Yisheng said. "If it were to eat a thousand ants or grasshoppers, the speed would be quite fast, and these species are also easier to breed!"
"Perhaps Wuyang Yang's starting point is the endpoint of the continuous efforts of these small creatures' genes to drive change," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "Speaking of which, I envy the strength of Wuyang Yang's genes; he doesn't need to rely on the meager deterrent power of birds like I do in combat!"
That makes sense!
Even if Zhang Xuezhou's genes mutated ten or eight times, the final result would likely only be close to Ren Wuyang's genetic level.
Moreover, after continuous pushing, the Black-Tipped Chicken may no longer be able to satisfy Zhang Xuezhou's appetite, as he also needs to eat large-sized creatures, making it more difficult to trigger another change.
"We'll be heading to Qinmeng in the next two months, and then we can let Brother Wuyang try eating some of the meat dishes," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile. "But have you already made preparations for meeting Professor Wang?"
"Old Wang, sigh!"
One step down leads to another, and even though Ren Yisheng had calculated and deduced this dozens of times, Wang Haoran still lost in the Lineage power struggle.
Wang Haoran been reduced to working as Qinmeng's nanny, and is no longer like a Lineage of a Lineage.
Ren Yisheng bears some responsibility for Wang Haoran's elimination, especially since Wang Haoran almost became disabled as a result.
Lying in the Twilight Years Mansion is still alright, but to have to travel together, especially when one has fallen into such a predicament, is quite humiliating for Ren Yisheng, and the leader's face has been almost completely lost.
But they still had to meet, and he also needed to let Wang Haoran know he was safe.
"I've already customized an exoskeleton device. I can change my face a bit, and it should be able to hold out for a while," Ren Yisheng said helplessly. "He's the closest person to me besides you all. It's hard to avoid contact with him on this trip to Qinmeng, so it wouldn't hurt to see him beforehand."
Perhaps during the time when Zhang Xuezhou was lost in another world, or perhaps on some other day, their group would set off for Qinmeng.
As the main battlefield for gene development, this is a place they inevitably need to go, even if Zhang Xuezhou can tame beasts.
The Beast Farming Market is where various Lineage exchange resources, but only surplus beasts are brought out for exchange.
For example, Zhang Xuezhou did not see any creatures such as the Black Tortoise at the farmers' market, and these important exotic beasts were immediately taken to the corresponding laboratories.
If Zhang Xuezhou and others have significant needs in the future, and these needs conflict with those of others, they will find it difficult to find bargains at the farmers' market, and even if they have the money, they will struggle to make purchases.
This requires them to be physically strong themselves, using the exotic beasts they hunt to directly supplement their own needs.
As this was their first trip to Qinmeng, their team was armed to the teeth in terms of protection.
With Ren Yisheng and Wang Haoran leading the team, Zhang Xuezhou capable of day and night duty, and Zhang Manqian and others possessing considerable strength, plus Huang Bao's protection, the team was well-equipped.
Furthermore, Zhang Xuezhou also wanted to try his Treasure-Seeking Technique in the Qinmeng region to see if he could find the Spirit Jade.
It would be difficult for him to do this alone, but Ren Yisheng, Ren Anran, and Zhang Manqian all have the ability to use magic, and the area they can search together will not be small.
He was indeed very curious about Qinmeng. If the Qinmeng beast tide was triggered by a Spiritual Qi upheaval as he imagined, then he would find a treasure trove for cultivating Realm Technique.
