North Rehe in an Uproar

Zhang Xuezhou stayed at Jishi Medical Center for four days.

Besides discussing Qin Meng's journey with Ren Yisheng and studying Mental Strengthening, he also obtained the "Kunpeng Combat Technique" of the Fourth Sequence stage.

As expected, the falcon genes in the body changed, and the direction of gene expansion and growth was almost identical to that of the vulture.

This is a relatively rare gene type, and few people have developed vulture-like genes.

Although there is a lack of precedent, there are many similarities among birds belonging to the vulture family. The more content derived from cranes, the less difficult it will be to create derivatives of other birds' Gene Fighting Technique.

As early as when Li Yingbo and others took over the Sequence Committee, Ren Yisheng set up a separate subject for Zhang Xuezhou at the research institute. Now that the gene type of the Fourth Sequence has been determined, Zhang Xuezhou is not slow in solving problems.

The vulture is a large scavenging bird, and its genes are undoubtedly superior to those of the smaller falcon.

Generally speaking, Sequence Holder vulture genes, like Zuo Lianguang, are skilled in claw techniques, possess physical agility, and even have high antiviral capabilities.

It would be difficult to develop the ability to deter and suppress using such genetic conditions, but Zhang Xuezhou's mental strength was simply too high. Even with his own limited resources, the power Zhang Xuezhou displayed was not low.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't even need to use Gene Fighting Technique; he could generate a wide-ranging deterrent pressure simply by relying on his realm's aura.

Given these combined factors, Zhang Xuezhou demonstrated considerable power in the Fourth Sequence.

His current situation is somewhat like that of a martial arts master in Zhang Weimeng's novels, who can injure people with just a wooden sword.

The "Kunpeng Combat Technique" is undoubtedly the wooden sword he wields, and genetic mutation could potentially transform the wooden sword into an iron sword, allowing him to unleash even greater power when advancing his sequence.

If his physical genes can be transformed into those of a stronger bird, the Kunpeng Combat Technique might one day have an effect similar to the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, and could even replace the pressure of realms to exert greater power.

"Zuo Denggao has been beaten up several times, he's about to collapse, I have to go back to North Rehe!"

Zhang Xuezhou showed the distress message on his communicator and prepared to return to the research institute to check the situation.

"That kid's suited to be the villain. If there's anything you can't do, just let him handle it. Remember to keep an eye on him for me when you get back; he's the type to get out of Wuyang if you don't discipline him. A gem needs to be carved to become a work of art..."

Before leaving, Ren Yisheng held Zhang Xuezhou's hand and talked for a long time.

Even if Ren Wuyang Ren Wuyang n't been involved in sequence lock research, Ren Wuyang would still have stayed out and not gone home, let alone think about going into seclusion to Mental Strengthening.

Perhaps he had come to a realization, or perhaps it was Ren Anran's persuasion, or perhaps it was Luo Burang's evaluation, or perhaps he needed to keep an eye on Zhang Xuezhou, Ren Yisheng did not personally guide Ren Wuyang's cultivation, and ultimately handed the matter over to someone else.

Zhang Xuezhou nodded repeatedly, and when he piloted the aircraft back to North Rehe, he couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"The professor both loves and hates Wuyang, constantly trying to improve him but failing. He feels the same way about me. I'm afraid he'll be worrying himself sick over this whole life. My troubles are much greater than Wuyang's!"

Ren Yisheng treated Zhang Xuezhou extremely well, almost like raising him as a son.

But Zhang Xuezhou could also sense Ren Yisheng's hesitation and grim mentality.

This mentality is normal. Zhang Xuezhou made his final arrangements several years ago: if anyone discovers that he has become a different person and can never come back, killing him is the best solution.

He had made advance arrangements, and Ren Yisheng's mindset could not affect Zhang Xuezhou in the slightest.

On the contrary, Zhang Xuezhou only hoped that he would live up to expectations and not be eliminated in the battle against the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.

He scrolled through the unread messages on his communicator from the past few days, and as the spacecraft approached the North Rehe, he also kept his eyes on the ground below.

Most of the young people who migrated here to develop their careers drive vehicles between Western Capital City and the North Rehe area, but Zhang Xuezhou rarely saw several aircraft.

"You don't have to learn if you don't believe me; I'm not forcing you!"

As Zhang Xuezhou landed in the B13 parking area and stepped out of the aircraft, he heard Zuo Denggao's irritating voice.

"Hey, you surnamed Zuo, don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Normal Gene Fighting Technique shouldn't cost this much!"

"You're right. The problem now is that sequence locks aren't normal Gene Fighting Technique. You can learn them if you want, or no one will force you if you don't. It's just that if you're slow at one step, you'll be slow at every step. As long as you can handle it in the future!"

"Then you can't price your products too high if you're an agent, otherwise nobody can afford it!"

"Is this a problem with my pricing? If it were your Zhu Household, you'd probably hide it somewhere and not make it public. The fact that we're sharing it with everyone is already showing great open-mindedness. Don't you all agree?"

Zuo Denggao priced sequence locks extremely high, to the Zuo Denggao that he considered them to be astronomical.

However, after discussing it with Luo Burang once, Zuo Denggao felt that his pricing was too conservative.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if he doesn't make the most of this chance, even selling all the inherited wealth won't be enough to live on later.

The success rate of synthesizing R-catalyst decreases as it progresses upwards, and the materials consumed increase exponentially. Furthermore, the direction of catalyst research that Qimeng Haige has not yet determined is still uncertain, so even Luo Burang had to issue a warning in advance.

If they want to have a long-term winning streak, they need to start preparing their resources now to avoid situations where they have money but no resources in the future.

The cost of exchanging sequence locks is not simply money, but involves various basic materials.

"Where am I supposed to find 100,000 liters of active serum total complement for you? You might as well just use me to bleed yourself!"

"I've done the bare minimum for you. If you can't meet this requirement, I'll find someone else. There's always someone who can. Next!"

Zhang Xuezhou eavesdropped from more than ten meters away.

He felt the pricing was indeed outrageous, and it wasn't unreasonable for Zuo Denggao to be beaten.

No luxury item can compare to the consumables used in the laboratory. This is not just a matter of money; it's because the Scarlet Alliance State's normal production capacity is only so high, and if it's used up, others won't have any.

Zuo Denggao's plan was almost tailor-made, nearly bringing many Lineage laboratories to a standstill.

Even powerful Lineage heads need to carefully consider whether it's worth investing in, while young people lacking power have all suffered setbacks at Zuo Denggao's hands, forcing them to return home empty-handed.

"Zhang Xuezhou, is your sequence lock, which guarantees admission to the Seventh Sequence, really going to cost such a high price?"

When Zhang Xuezhou sneaked back to the research institute, he was caught red-handed by Zhu Shengnan, who was storming out in a huff.

Zhu Shengnan held Zuo Denggao tightly during negotiations as if he were a chick, but she didn't dare reach out to Zhang Xuezhou.

She forced a smile and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, once the sequence lock technology is fully developed, we'll make it available for free so everyone can learn," Zhang Xuezhou reassured him. "There's definitely a price to pay for this accelerated learning right now; this price is unavoidable!"

"Committee Member Zhang didn't deny the matter of the Sequence Lock being used to guarantee admission to the Seventh Sequence!" Zhen Mei, who came out from the side, exclaimed in surprise.

"By the time they ripen, it will be too late!"

The people who rushed over from Luo'an Province were not only local natives of Western Capital City like Zhu Shengnan, but also Xu Zhihui, Zhang Xuezhou's rival at the sequencing provincial conference.

Xu Zhihui is from Mengzhong Province. She is a young female Sequence Holder who is almost the complete opposite of Zhu Shengnan, who uses violence to defeat enemies. In the past, she has been extremely good at team operations with overall planning and strategy.

She stared wide-eyed at Zhang Xuezhou Zhang Xuezhou, unable to understand how he could lead the younger generation in both strength and research ability.

Xu Zhihui had been staying in North Rehe for some time these past few days and, after gathering various information, she vaguely sensed that the era of a new version of the Gene Sequence might be approaching.

In this era of version updates, the risks for the first batch of people are high, but it is very likely that only the first batch will be able to reap the benefits.

By the time sequence locks are made freely available and accessible to everyone, they will either be too old or on the periphery, making it difficult for them to enter the core.

When facing Zuo Denggao, Xu Zhihui was somewhat hesitant, but after seeing Zhang Xuezhou, she somehow felt at ease.

Even though the Xu family's research institute stagnated for several years due to this investment, Xu Zhihui decided to take the gamble.
