The Great Genetic Era

a small place.
A high-definition video call could connect people and make it feel as if they were physically present, aside from the lack of touch.

The three of them returned home after they parted ways.

If there were no accidents, they would receive their recruitment notice today.

They might have to set off and report at their schools tomorrow.

Xu Tui did not return home immediately.

Instead, he went to a branch of the Huaxia Genetic Medication Company who had stores around the country.

“Do you have Level E Energy Restoration Elixirs?”

“We do.
We even have Level D Compound Chain Energy Restoration Elixirs, much less Level E Energy Restoration Elixirs.” The attendant didn’t wait for Xu Tui to respond.
She continued instead in a condescending tone, “The more important thing is whether or not you have the rights to purchase them or if you can even afford them.” The attendant’s attitude was extremely poor.

If Xu Tui had a few hundred thousand dollars and Level E or Level D rights, he would have thrown it on the attendant’s face to make himself feel good.

Unfortunately, at this time, Xu Tui had neither.

“I only have ordinary rights.
Can I purchase Level E Energy Restoration Elixirs with that?” Xu Tui asked, just trying his luck.

Ordinary rights were Level F rights.

Most people in current society, without any extraordinary circumstances, would only hold ordinary rights for all their lives.
Some might be able to accumulate contribution points and get Level E rights when they are old, but those people were among the minority.

Legend had it that these places had hidden missions.
Xu Tui wanted to see if he could find them.

The attendant looked at Xu Tui as if he was dumb.
“Purchases of elixirs at Level E and above must all be declared.
Every one of the elixirs would have to be registered.”

“All right.”

Xu Tui was a little frustrated.

“Then give me 10 Level F Energy Restoration Pills.”

“One thousand dollars.”

Xu Tui scanned his communication device and settled the payment and then grabbed the items and left.

The drastic decline in weight after his training yesternight had frightened Xu Tui.

It even made Xu Tui entertain the thought of first activating a few Genetic Base Points in his stomach.

However, Xu Tui temporarily decided against the idea after he thought it through.

Xu Tui’s current problem was that he did not intake enough energy.
It was not that there was a problem with his generator.

In simpler terms, he lacked fuel.

Would he have to eat 10 meals a day like Cheng Mo after he activated the Genetic Base Points in his digestive system?

Before he could obtain foods that could supply him with even more energy, Xu Tui decided that he was not going to activate the Genetic Base Points in his digestive system.

Xu Tui had to research the overall situation before he took the next step forward if he wanted to improve his training or solve Cheng Mo’s current problem of only having a large stomach and no powerful abilities.

Simply put, Xu Tui needed more knowledge.
He needed to enhance what he knew.

However, there was a problem.
His training could not stop.

After an individual was administered with the Genetic Liberation Elixir, they had three months as a continuous enhancement phase.

The main reason for Xu Tui opening his 15th sensory-related Genetic Base Point and the Genetic Base Point in his lower-left calf with relative ease was the carryover effects of the Genetic Liberation Elixir.

Even Cheng Mo, who had activated the Genetic Base Points in his stomach, only gained four to five pounds a day.
He could not match the speed at which Xu Tui lost weight.

Thinking about the situation, the only choice Xu Tui had now was the Level F Energy Restoration Pill, which could replenish his energy at a rapid rate.

Actually, there was a better option—the Level E Energy Restoration Elixir.

However, Xu Tui did not have high-enough rights, nor did he have enough money.

A Level E Energy Restoration Elixir cost 5,000 dollars.

It was exorbitantly expensive.

The current assets Xu Tui had as a student were only enough to purchase 10 Level F Energy Restoration Pills.

Xu Tui’s only hope was for the contribution points and reward, which Special Intelligence Division Captain Zhou Sheng promised, to arrive quickly.

The cash reward of 50,000 dollars was a large sum to Xu Tui.

It was said that contribution points were even more valuable.

…

Along the way home, Xu Tui noticed another stalker.
Actually, the stalker had been there from when he left the house in the morning.

There was only one.

He was familiar with that person.

It was one of the special agents that had followed Xu Tui yesterday.
His surname was He.

He should have been sent to protect Xu Tui.

“Uncle He, do you want to come up to have some tea?” Xu Tui, who had just entered the building, took a turn and walked out from the underground tunnel.
He appeared out of nowhere in front of Special Agent He, who was smoking a cigarette at a corner.

He Wende trembled in shock when he saw Xu Tui suddenly appear.
The smoke took a turn in his lungs and caused him to cough violently.

“No… No… You should go up quickly.
Your…your recruitment notice should have arrived.”

“You’re really not coming up?”

“No.”

He Wende had a depressed expression.

To think that he was spotted by the same student…

To be in such a situation despite being a special agent, it really was…

He Wende looked at Xu Tui’s leaving figure.

The upper brass told him that even though Xu Tui had activated 14 Genetic Base Points, they were all of the Enlightened Mind Type.
It was rather useless.

However, from He Wende’s point of view, that teenager was something else.

He might be abnormal even within the Enlightened Mind Type.

Most of the Enlightened Mind Type students of the Mystery Branch were rather useless.
However, occasionally, there would be a monster.

…

When Xu Tui returned home, he saw that Xu Jianguo was smiling.

Even though Zhang Xiuli was also smiling, she was looking at her drastically skinnier son with a worried expression.

“Improvement, your recruitment notice is here.
It’s the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College, the first in the nation.
Are you happy?” Xu Jianguo said excitedly.

“Yes.”

Xu Tui nodded.
He was not too surprised.

He had obtained a high score of 604, which exceeded the Double Excellence Score.
He had also activated 14 Genetic Base Points.
It should be a given that he got accepted to the Huaxia Genetic Evolution College.

“Dad, Mom, these few years have been hard on you,” Xu Tui said seriously after a pause.

His parents had slogged their guts out during his three years in high school.

They prepared his breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks.
No meal was the same.
His parents also had to work every day.

They would get up at five in the morning to prepare meals for Xu Tui even if they were sick.

These three years had not been easy for them.

There were tears in Zhang Xiuli’s eyes.
She had a complicated, indescribable feeling of happiness in her heart.

Her son…had grown up.

However, his father, Xu Jianguo, waved his hand.
“Let’s not talk about that.
You got accepted, but the reporting time is rather rushed, especially for you students who are headed to the capital.
You have to gather and set off tomorrow morning.
Go pack up your stuff.
Don’t leave anything behind.”

“All right.”

Xu Tui’s voice was a little choked.

He had always wanted to head out of Jincheng Prefecture, a place where he had lived for many years, to have a look.
However, he felt extremely reluctant now that he had to leave home.

“Oh yes, you are setting off tomorrow.
Your mother and I spent half a day preparing a gift for you.
Look.” Xu Jianguo pushed a box toward him.
