Of course, there was another reason for buying Mjolnir: out of the three weapons, it was by far the flashiest!
In particular, the demonstration projected before him was spectacular. When it unleashed its thunderbolts, it was as if the Thunder God himself had descended. The dancing lightning and roaring thunder were its own built-in special effects.
"I’ll take this Mjolnir," Lin Xinghai said, then suddenly rembered a very important question. "Is this weapon in stock?"
If it had to be custom-made, then this was all a waste of ti, because there simply wasn’t enough ti.
"It’s in stock. Before delivery, we will thoroughly inspect the Thunderbolt conversion system inside the gun to ensure it’s functioning properly. This will take about two to three hours," Tan Ya said, suppressing the frantic beating of her heart and replying, her voice brimming with enthusiasm.
The selling price of Mjolnir was 130,000 Points! That was worth more than half a cha.
And precisely because it was so expensive, it had been sitting in the warehouse collecting dust ever since it was built.
’If I can sell this weapon today, I’ll probably get a handso bonus and even so praise. A few more sales like this, and I could really get promoted to sales manager.’
"Alright, ring it up!" Lin Xinghai took out his Identity Card and handed it over. Then he turned to Fang Tianhe at his side and said, "Commander, I have sothing else to attend to. I’ll leave this to you."
"Don’t worry! I’ll personally test it later," Fang Tianhe said with a nod.
Right now, anything involving Lin Xinghai was the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps’ top priority. Besides, he was also quite optimistic about Mjolnir.
It was no exaggeration to say that such a powerful weapon, combined with Lin Xinghai’s Speed, could absolutely have a decisive, one-shot-kill effect.
Because when Lin Xinghai used his Superpower, it was impossible for his opponents to dodge. They could only choose to take the hit head-on. And since Attack Power was Mjolnir’s greatest strength, the combination was simply unstoppable.
Soon, Lin Xinghai left the cha Research Institute and returned directly to his residence in the Star Shield District.
’Tomorrow, I have to deal with the Morgan Conglorate. Just buying Mjolnir isn’t enough preparation. Besides, external items are ultimately just tools; what’s most important is my own strength.’
So, he planned to break his third Genetic Lock today.
After more than a week of acclimatization, his Perception Power had finally reached its limit yesterday, making him ready for a breakthrough.
Speaking of which, he was actually a bit glad that the Star Shield Shelter had delayed taking action until now.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have been willing to attempt a breakthrough before his Perception Power had reached its limit.
Although his Perception Power already far surpassed others, reaching a terrifying range of 400 ters, no one would ever think their Perception Power was too strong.
What’s more, he had a gut feeling that the further he progressed in his Cultivation, the more crucial his Perception Power would beco.
Pushing aside his distracting thoughts, Lin Xinghai opened his system panel and took a look.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Physique: 54 points
Power: 49 points
Speed: 60 points
Blood Qi Power: 127,888 points
Genetic Optimization Level: 60%
Second Level Superpower: Speed (Increases Speed by 200%, duration one minute) (Energy Value: 10/10)
Interdiate Shooting Skill: Proficiency 1%
Phantom Body Technique (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%
Looking at his Blood Qi Power, which was over 120,000, Lin Xinghai gloated inwardly. This was without even absorbing the Elental Crystals he’d gathered today; otherwise, his Blood Qi Power would have surpassed 140,000.
Looking at this reserve of Blood Qi Power, he felt secure, even feeling like he had so much that he didn’t know how to spend it all.
Shaking off his thoughts, he tapped the " " sign after his Genetic Optimization Level.
"DING! Consu 6 points of Blood Qi Power to increase your Genetic Optimization Level?"
Looking at the system prompt, Lin Xinghai thought, ’That’s really cheap.’
He chose "Yes" without hesitation.
A warm current materialized within his body and spread through his limbs and bones.
He was quite familiar with this sensation. This sudden warm current had to be the Energy the system used to increase his Genetic Optimization Level.
However, this warm current seed a little different than before. It grew hotter and hotter until it felt as if it had beco a ball of fire, incinerating his internal organs, limbs, and bones.
Lin Xinghai’s skin began to flush red, his body temperature rising rapidly. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, but they instantly vaporized upon contact with his scorching skin.
Ugh!
Lin Xinghai finally couldn’t bear it and let out a muffled grunt.
’How is this supposed to be increasing my Genetic Optimization Level? The pain is barely any different from breaking a Genetic Lock!’
The "flas" surging inside his body burned for a full five minutes before finally receding.
After recovering, Lin Xinghai gasped for breath, his eyes holding the look of soone who had just survived a catastrophe.
He opened his system panel and saw that his Genetic Optimization Level had increased to 61%.
"This..." Lin Xinghai felt utterly exasperated.
’With the system’s help, I can compress what takes others several days, or even a week, of Refinent ti into a re five minutes. But the price is this incomparable burning sensation.’
He still rembered how in the beginning, it was just a gentle, warm current that transford his body. But after he broke the first Genetic Lock, that gentle current had beco a hot one.
And now, after breaking the second Genetic Lock, the hot current had turned into flas.
’I don’t even dare to imagine what will happen when I increase my Genetic Optimization Level after breaking the third Genetic Lock. Just the thought of it makes my scalp tingle.’
"No, I have to find a way to reduce the pain. This is completely unbearable." A full fifteen minutes passed before Lin Xinghai finally recovered from the agony.
Driven by the pain, his mind raced as ideas surfaced one after another. He considered taking painkillers, or even buying an imrsive simulation pod to put himself in a semi-conscious state. However, he quickly rejected each of these ideas.
’Because that "fla" Energy is what increases my Genetic Optimization Level, it acts directly on my Genes.’
’None of the thods I’ve thought of would work. Not unless I can find sothing to counteract it that also operates on the genetic level.’
Suddenly, inspiration struck Lin Xinghai. He slapped his thigh hard. "How could I have forgotten about that?"
He imdiately opened his wrist-mounted computer and sent a ssage to Liu Miaomiao: "I’m about to break my third Genetic Lock. I need your help. Rember, this is confidential."
Over the past few days, Liu Miaomiao had been studying her Superpower quite a bit, and Lin Xinghai had let her try healing him with her Life Force.
When the Life Force entered his body, it felt as if every one of his cells was cheering with joy. The sensation was incredibly pleasant.
’If Liu Miaomiao infuses with her Life Force, it should greatly offset the pain. After all, Life Force can also act directly on the genetic level.’
Asking Liu Miaomiao to keep it a secret was also necessary. If the pain hadn’t been so unbearable, he wouldn’t have planned on telling anyone.
After all, now that he had been dubbed the "Gun God," he was likely already seen as a thorn in the Morgan Conglorate’s side.
His every move would receive their special attention.
There might even be spies planted by the enemy among the new mbers they had recruited recently, so secrecy was a must.
’Once I make my breakthrough in secret, if the Morgan Conglorate tries to target , I’ll be able to give them a real surprise.’
