Chapter 149: Genetic Potion (3)

Zhang Xiao was in a terrible fix because of the money, but he did not want to complain about it. He immediately expressed his determination.

Zhou Jing interrupted him and said directly, “There’s no need. 370,000 is enough. Transfer the money over.”

“This… This isn’t enough for the market price.” Zhang Xiao was stunned.

“What market price? Cut the crap and transfer the money to me. The Supers Bureau is still waiting for me to transfer money to buy the medicine. Come over and inject it today. I still have other things to do. How can I wait for you every day? How long will it take for you to gather the money? Maybe we’ll all be on the ship by then!” Zhou Jing said bluntly.

Zhang Xiao was silent for a while before he suddenly said, “Did my family call you?”

“Why do you keep asking questions? Are you a kid? Hurry up and transfer the money! I’ll go to the Supernatural Bureau immediately. If I don’t see you there, I’ll crush your butt.”

Zhou Jing ended the call and informed the other two best friends to meet up at the Supers Bureau. Then, he put on his clothes and went out.

…

Twenty-five minutes later, at the West Sea City’s Supers Bureau branch.

Zhou Jing walked in and found that his three best friends had already arrived and were chatting. To be precise, Li Xiaoyin and Xu Lingyun were comforting the excited and nervous Zhang Xiao.

“Yo, Jingjing is here.” When Li Xiaoyin saw Zhou Jing, she immediately waved and greeted him.

Zhang Xiao looked over with a complicated expression.

He did not want to take advantage of his friend, but in the end, he still owed Zhou Jing a favor.

However, at this point, he could only accept Zhou Jing’s good intentions. He would secretly engrave them within his heart.

Zhou Jing walked to the three of them and patted Zhang Xiao’s shoulder. “How is it? Are you ready?”

Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, and his fat face seemed to deflate, “No.”

“Then let’s go back. We’ll come back when he’s ready.” Xu Lingyun was about to pull Zhou Jing and Li Xiaoyin away.

“Get lost!”

Zhang Xiao shot back before helplessly continuing,

“I don’t even know what it feels like to use the genetic potion. I can’t be mentally prepared.”

Hearing this, Xu Lingyun’s expression instantly turned serious.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Zhang Xiao was stunned. “No, didn’t the Supers Bureau remind us to go on an empty stomach on the day of the strengthening?”

Xu Lingyun nodded in relief. “It’s good that you didn’t eat. Otherwise, if your stomach loses control during the strengthening, you’ll vomit your sh*t out.”

“How do you know… You didn’t follow the doctor’s instructions when you strengthened yourself, right?”

“That’s not important.” Xu Lingyun waved his hand. “As long as you haven’t eaten, it’s fine. The genetic potion is very safe, but it hurts a little.”

“How painful is a little?” Zhang Xiao did not trust Xu Lingyun at all.

Li Xiaoyin tapped her chin with her finger and said thoughtfully, “You’ll probably scream like a pig being slaughtered. I even recorded a video of what happened that time.”

“Is there a video? I haven’t seen it yet.” Zhou Jing was curious.

Li Xiaoyin said excitedly, “Aish, you don’t know. When this Old Xu had finished strengthening and the gene capsule was opened, half of its body was soaked in shit. You should’ve seen the disdainful expressions of those researchers…”

“Ahem! Let’s go in. Don’t let the people from the Supernatural Bureau wait too long!”

Xu Lingyun hurriedly interrupted the two of them and led the way.

Zhou Jing did not continue this topic and only gave Li Xiaoyin a look—Send me a copy of the video later.

Li Xiaoyin understood and made an OK gesture.

The group arrived at the enhancement venue. Feng Feng and the researchers from the Supers Bureau had been waiting here for a long time.

A metal round cabin had been placed in the middle of the room, with many injection needles in the cabin. The tubes of these needles were connected to a row of medicine tubes containing light blue liquid outside.

This light blue liquid was the Elementary Gene Potion, a technological product of genetic engineering in the main world.

“The equipment is ready. Do you want to use it first or pay first?” Feng Feng carried out his duty and reminded him with a smile.

Zhou Jing had already received a transfer from Zhang Xiao. His short account balance was immediately filled with a huge sum of money that he had never touched in his life.

Without hesitation, he transferred 250,000 Nassau to the Supernatural Bureau.

He only earned 120,000 Nassau from Zhang Xiao in this transaction.

“Lie inside.”

Zhou Jing put away his phone and gestured at the metal cabin.

Zhang Xiao patted Zhou Jing’s shoulder. Everything was obvious. There was no need to put it into words.

He took a deep breath and took off his clothes under the guidance of the researchers. He placed a pile of electromagnetic tablets on his skin and drank a few bottles of different catalysts. Then, he lay straight in the cabin.

Siii—The sound of an air pump could be heard. The hatch cover closed, trapping Zhang Xiao inside.

At Feng Feng’s request, Zhou Jing and the others walked out of the room to wait. They could only watch the situation in the room through the glass window.

Several researchers began to frequently adjust the equipment and mutter something.

“The equipment is operating normally. The energy rays are ready, strengthening can be carried out at any time…”

“Countdown… three, two, one, inject the potion!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the injection needles were inserted into Zhang Xiao’s body one after another. The light blue genetic serum quickly flowed along the catheter.

The metal cabin began to operate, emitting a buzzing sound. Soon, Zhang Xiao’s painful cries could be heard from inside.

Zhou Jing rubbed his chin with interest, “It really does sound like a pig being slaughtered.”

Xu Lingyun curled his lips and said indignantly, “Hmph, his screams aren’t as nice as mine. There are too many broken chords, and neither is he as high-pitched as me. I even went up octave by octave.”

“… What’s with your inexplicable desire to win?”

Li Xiaoyin couldn’t help but complain.

The few of them chatted and waited patiently, without a worry.

The genetic potion technology from the Interstellar Government was extremely mature and well researched. The risk of the primary genetic potion had long been reduced to the minimum, almost negligible.

After waiting for four to five hours, the strengthening process finally ended.

The hatch cover popped up with a crack, and white mist rose from within.

The researchers quickly went to the metal cabin and helped Zhang Xiao out.

Zhang Xiao was covered in sweat and panting heavily, almost unable to stand steadily.

His body had changed drastically. He was originally a fat man, but now he was a buff fat man. His original fat could not even hide the outline of his muscles.

“How do you feel?”

“Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

“Did anything leak?”

The three of them walked into the room and asked with concern.

Zhang Xiao panted for a while and shakily found a seat to sit down. However, he did not control his strength well and almost crushed the armrest of the chair.

He repeated the action of clenching his fists and opening his palms. Feeling his strength that had increased greatly, his face was filled with excitement and surprise.

“Is this a superhuman physique? I feel like I can flip this entire building now!”

Li Xiaoyin laughed. “It’s just an illusion since your strength has drastically increased. You’re already considered low-key. What Old Xu said back then was that he felt as though he could penetrate the entire planet!”

“… Did he say that while he was soaked in shit?”

Xu Lingyun ignored the two of them. He squatted down and carefully examined Zhang Xiao’s crotch.

“Why isn’t there any yellow at all? I don’t believe you cleared yourself so thoroughly last night…”

“That’s enough!” Zhou Jing couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed Xu Lingyun’s head and pulled him aside.

Zhang Xiao looked at the few people who were teasing him and felt inexplicably emotional.

Half a month ago, he would never have thought that everyone would actually become a Super, and yet, the four of them had actually embarked on this path at this moment.

Zhou Jing turned to look at the remaining genetic potion in the tube, his eyes flashing.

Speaking of which, the genetic potions of the main world and the mutant blood potions of the mutant world should be different.

He wondered if he could accept the strengthening of the gene potion after receiving the enhancement of the Mutant Blood Potion from another world…

While he was distracted, Feng Feng came over and interrupted their conversation.

“Congratulations, you’re also a Super now. The Bureau will speed up the production of documents for you…”

He explained the process that Zhou Jing had experienced before. Zhang Xiao also had to go through the process.

While listening to the two of them, Li Xiaoyin suddenly asked Feng Feng,

“By the way, we want to migrate to a new planet. Do we have to go through any procedures with the Supers Bureau?”

Feng Feng was stunned. He thought for a moment and said, “We need to fill out a few application forms. The rest will be arranged by the Bureau… Do the four of you have this plan?”

Li Xiaoyin turned her head to take a look. Zhou Jing and the other two nodded. This had been agreed upon long ago.

“That’s right. All four of us are leaving.”

“I need to report this situation to my superiors, but the Bureau will respect your wishes.”

Feng Feng then added,

“The procedures will take some time. If you have made up your minds, you can participate in the Bureau’s pre-immigration training class. The Supers of this batch of immigrants from West Sea City are all inside. All of you will be passengers who will board the ship together, and a portion of them will become your peers in the future. If you want, you can get to know them in advance.”
