What Was Suitable and What Was Not

The noise of North Rehe did not affect Zhang Xuezhou's work pace.

Things were arranged in an orderly manner, and Zhang Xuezhou did not get caught up in other people's pace.

The first things he dealt with did not involve the great medicine, Qin Meng's secret stone, fire crystal, or fire seed that Qin Meng brought back, nor did he meet or discuss with Ren Yisheng, Xu Lu, and others.

Zhang Xuezhou used the Alliance No. 9 platform, which he had built over several years, to purchase sixteen different types of beans. He then contacted Wang Li to seek out minerals similar to gypsum.

This is a problem Zhang Xuezhou often encounters when dealing with real-world situations. The two worlds use different languages and have different nouns, making it difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to simply repeat himself.

However, Zhang Xuezhou had handled the gypsum ore that Dong Zhongshu had brought out and had carefully compared it with the samples.

This is a natural white crystalline mineral, odorless, with a slightly astringent taste. However, if compared to this standard, there won't be many types that match the relevant criteria.

"Brother Zhou, Xu Zhihui is on a rampage, and everyone outside is going crazy too! Zhu Shengnan and the others have practiced Gene Fighting Technique for so many years, but Xu Zhihui has caught up with them all. If Xu Zhihui were a genius like Sister Qian who fought her way up, that would be one thing, but everyone knows that Xu Zhihui isn't at that top-tier level!"

Wang Li agreed to the task, and then reminded Zhang Xuezhou of something.

If it weren't for the enormous cost deterring young people, and the older and middle-aged generations standing in their way, the young people of North Rehe would be much more enthusiastic.

"Don't assume Xu Zhihui isn't top-notch," Zhang Xuezhou reminded her after hearing this. "Cultivation sequence locks also require aptitude!"

"Wasn't that something you helped accelerate?" Wang Li asked in astonishment.

"Even if you have a knife in your hand, you still need to know how to use it," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I just heard my sister talk about Xu Zhihui. There aren't many people who improve every day like her; she's at a top-tier level!"

Xu Zhihui, who is capable of making her own decisions and can also commit herself to something when many others are undecided, possesses exceptional qualities in other aspects, even though her strength is at a mid-level.

Gene Sequence have created a different situation after the advent of sequence locks.

The Sequence Lock originates from the "Yuan Dan Technique," which is an alternative Realm Technique that is only used by the Demon Race.

This results in an internal and external push in the Gene Sequence.

The external driving force is Gene Fighting Technique, while the internal driving force is the combination of sequence hierarchy and sequence lock, which further deepens the Gene Sequence.

Being able to effectively drive the sequence lock is no different from being skilled in Realm Technique; Xu Zhihui's continuous growth in strength must be due to his extreme suitability for this kind of cultivation.

Any method that subverts the cultivation process will violently impact the existing order. Those who can adapt will become the new generation of geniuses, while those who cannot keep up will continue to fall.

"So... does that mean I still have a chance to turn things around?"

After listening to Wang Li Zhang Xuezhou's explanation, Wang Li's heart couldn't help but pound.

Zhou Tianhao and others have worked hard since childhood and have excellent family backgrounds and resources, which is why they have been able to gain a place among young people.

What others struggle for thirty years to achieve, is not something Wang Li can catch up to in seven or eight years of hard work.

Even though Wang Li never let up, he fell further and further behind Zhang Xuezhou and others, and had to leverage his advantages in business.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou described sequence locks that his heart began to stir with interest.

On one side, there's a lack of strength to catch up, making it difficult to close the gap; on the other side, both sides start at the same time, and Wang Li has the home advantage.

If sequence locking revolutionizes or even overturns Gene Sequence Gene Sequence, Wang Li felt he really wanted to take the plunge.

"Everyone has a chance to turn their life around," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile, "But..."

"I want to get involved in this; I'm definitely going to take the gamble," Wang Li said quickly.

Even if it takes ten or eight years, or even three or five years?

"Many people die at forty, it doesn't matter if I'm one more. When I die, I'll be buried with you, Brother Zhou!"

The thing Zhang Xuezhou was most uncertain about was competing with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon; he really didn't want to harm the younger generation.

Zhang Xuezhou gave a reminder, Wang Li responded decisively, clearly gambling that Zhang Xuezhou would survive.

Wang Li's Gene Sequence is a step behind, and even with enough blood serum, it will be difficult to catch up. However, if he can quickly master the sequence lock in advance, or become more accustomed to the cultivation of the sequence lock, he may be able to break through the encirclement.

Xu Zhihui has had a tremendous impact on many young people; she is growing stronger at a pace that transcends generations.

As a risk speculator, Wang Li had followed Zhang Xuezhou for many years and was bound to place a heavy bet on Zhang Xuezhou.

Venture capital doesn't always guarantee returns, but Wang Li found that as his wealth and social status continued to rise, his ambitions had become very limited, and further advancement was beyond his reach.

The increase in wealth by tens or hundreds of millions has become just a number and has no real significance.

He's already at his peak, if he can't effectively improve himself.

Wang Li was willing to take the gamble, even if the time was as fleeting as a mayfly's day, he wouldn't regret it.

"I don't want to be buried with you," Zhang Xuezhou complained. "Let's live as long as we can!"

Zhang Xuezhou has one requirement for external matters, but clearly another requirement for internal matters.

If Wang Li and the others make up their minds, it won't just be a free, quick-to-obtain sequence lock; there will also be Luo Burang's observation and future after-sales service, ensuring maximum adaptation to the body and minimizing the potential harm of something like a demon core.

"Wang Li is still looking for bargains, just like always!"

Only after Zhang Xuezhou hung up the call at the restaurant did Zhang Manqian utter a complaint.

"He has a radical mindset and an adventurous spirit. The rest depends on his own strength and how long I can survive," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Did I create my own sequence lock, or did I just borrow yours?"

When the sequence lock was first introduced, only Ren Wuyang was a tester, and the situation was not clear at that time.

The experimental result that caused mental confusion when testing Zuo Lianguang can be considered neutral.

Given the ability to move the sequence forward, no one will be in a hurry.

But Xu Zhihui's situation did break the norm, and even Zhang Manqian felt somewhat anxious, let alone Wang Li.

This is not something that diligence and talent can compensate for; rather, sequence locks are embedded in the Gene Sequence, and whoever does not have a synchronization sequence lock will have an important part of their Gene Sequence missing.

Zhang Manqian also wanted to hear Zhang Xuezhou's advice.

"Sequence Locks and Realm Technique have certain similarities," Zhang Xuezhou pointed out. "Those skilled in Realm Technique will inevitably be skilled in Sequence Locks!"

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't worried about Zhang Manqian at all.

The reason for this is nothing more than that the Yin-Yang School's Realm Technique, which Zhang Xuezhou recommended everyone practice, is the most difficult to master from the start.

Leaving aside the fact that Zhang Manqian and the others needed to learn another cultivation system, Zhang Xuezhou only mentioned the vicious cycle of having to cultivate the Poison Avoidance Technique, the Origin-Nurturing Pill, the Spirit Spirit-Forging Pill, and the Realm Technique. Zhang Manqian and the others managed to get through it. This kind of cultivation difficulty would be hellish no matter which world it was placed in.

Sequence locks fit Gene Sequence perfectly, but their cultivation difficulty is far lower than that of Realm Technique.

If Luo hadn't removed the drawbacks of the sequence lock, Zhang Manqian and the others would have caught up in cultivation much faster, without needing to be constrained by his Law Power over the sequence lock, and they wouldn't have been affected by his life or death.

Some people are suited to quickly mastering the sequence lock, while those who can Realm Entry cultivation are better suited to waiting for research. Combining this with methods such as taking elixirs will allow them to catch up very quickly in the future.

Even if Luo Burang fails to solve the drawbacks of sequence locks, Zhang Manqian and others can catch up at the last minute and won't suffer much loss due to sequence locks.
