Chapter 619: Gene Potion

Huaxia Federation, Saiga Province

The Huaxia Federation has vast territory with various terrains like mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas. Saiga Province is known for its mountainous terrain with many mountain ranges, making its economy much weaker compared to coastal provinces.

Due to its complex terrain, Saiga Province is still a region with weak authority even today, with many existences unknown to most federations hidden in the mountain valleys.

In a base in Saiga Province, Chen Yuanhua is currently engaged in a hand-to-hand combat with a man. Both of them are fighting barehanded, with the man attacking fiercely like a beast, using his hands, elbows, and feet as powerful weapons, with the sound of blows echoing constantly.

However, Chen Yuanhua manages to intercept each attack effortlessly and appears to handle the situation with ease. In the end, the man exhausts his strength and lies on the ground gasping for air, before being dragged away by the staff.

"Old Chen, what do you think of his strength?"

"Not much. He may have hidden inner strength, but without the techniques to use it, any member of my special forces could easily defeat him. It would be quite simple."

"This is different, Old Chen. This guy used to be a wanderer, struggling to eat. He was deceived by the Qingyun Company and gained strong abilities after genetic drug modification. It’s quite scary."

"That’s true. Has his medical report come out yet?"

Chen Yuanhua said. His team members are carefully chosen and undergo strict training year-round. They are not easy to compete with.

"The medical report is out. It shows his body is fine, but a detailed examination reveals that his life has been greatly overused. His lifespan will be significantly reduced, similar to laborers or farmers from the last century."

The newcomer said he didn’t understand the specifics, as it was a conclusion drawn by scientists. In any case, the side effects on his body are significant, leading to a huge deficit, rapid aging once he reaches a certain age.

Chen Yuanhua nodded. In the past, due to economic underdevelopment, some laborers and farmers who did heavy physical work would appear muscular and healthy. However, once they aged, they would rapidly deteriorate and have a short lifespan, all due to overusing their bodies.

"The genetic drug in this guy’s body is a first-generation product. Based on my understanding of those scientists, with the first generation already out, they must be well into developing the second generation. You handle intelligence, any updates?"

"There indeed is a second-generation genetic drug, but they are guarding it closely. We have yet to find out the core. It’s up to the gentleman’s abilities now. I got a message from higher-ups saying the gentleman has connections."

"The gentleman is prepared and has countless hidden aces up his sleeve. Even if there are none, he is not afraid."

Chen Yuanhua nodded. He thought genetic soldiers, bio-soldiers were impressive to scientists, but not to him. He believed warriors were already impressive. His father used to be the personal bodyguard of a gentleman and had told him that the gentleman once overturned several tons of tanks with his bare hands in a small country in the southern hemisphere over twenty years ago.

Do those bio-soldiers have that ability?

They now combine martial arts and technology, making them very powerful. The journey ahead for those bio-soldiers is still long.

"Old Chen, you’re amazing. You’ve reached the level of your father, achieved Martial Saint cultivation. I can’t compare, if there were advanced genetic techniques, I would definitely try them on myself."

"Hmph, how dare you say that? My father treats you better than he treats me. You useless person, even a Grand Master of Martial Arts is beyond your reach."

"Old Chen, mocking each other like this is meaningless."

The two of them arrived at the base, joking around. Inside, a group of scientists were researching and analyzing the biological sample they had taken from the person, trying to decrypt it as quickly as possible.

"Don’t wait for us. Reverse engineering is not that simple. We’ve only analyzed the basic data so far. It would be best to provide us with a sample of the genetic potion."

The head scientist greeted them, informing them that they were trying to reverse engineer the genetic potion, but it was not an easy task.

"We know, we just came to see if we can help."

"Not at the moment, please don’t cause trouble, go away."

"Alright, let’s go."

The two of them were not angry. Top scientists held a much higher status than them. Skilled warriors can be easily trained, but it takes luck to produce a top scientist.

Green Cloud Republic, Wangjing

As the capital of a country, Wangjing is one of the most famous cities in the world. The population density is higher than HuaxiaJingdu City. Even in this prime real estate, there are still many large buildings for people to enjoy.

The Lin family is one of the prominent families in Qingyun. There are over a billion people with the surname Lin in Qingyun. However, not all Lin families are the same. Some Lin families are so poor that they can’t afford to eat, while others live in luxury.

The Lin family of Qingtian is the luxurious one. They rose to power around a hundred years ago, making them a relatively young aristocratic family compared to the Green Cloud Republic.

Lin Qifeng was the current leader of the Lin family in Qingtian. At that moment, he was anxiously waiting in his top-class club. After a while, a person quietly entered from the side, took off his coat, revealing his true appearance – a rather young man.

"Token"

Lin Qifeng said, the person smiled, then took out a jade pendant. Li Qifeng also took out a jade pendant. They compared them, merged them together, and confirmed they were correct.

Lin Qifeng felt relieved. This jade pendant was the starting item of their family. Over a hundred years ago, his grandfather was a small merchant, barely getting by trading things between Qingyun and Huaxia.

One day, his grandfather was caught by a smuggling enforcement team. However, after just a few days, his grandfather was released. Another person appeared and showed his grandfather a jade pendant that looked exactly like their family’s heirloom, in a pair.

After that, his grandfather’s luck turned as if he had found a pot of gold. The person gave his grandfather a large sum of money and also provided specific scarce goods at very favorable prices, allowing their family to rise quickly.

Over the next hundred years, their Lin family in Qingtian faced several crises, but every time a mysterious force intervened. For example, when their funding was cut off, money would flow in; major investments that failed would either come back to life or be taken over by someone else.

They didn’t believe that good luck would always come to them out of nowhere. In fact, every few years, someone would come with a jade pendant asking for a small favor. Each time they helped, their family would receive generous rewards.

"Leader of the Lin Family, Sky Umbrella Group, do you have a stake?"

"Yes, but not much. We are just minority shareholders. Lin Jiang has plans in the field of biology, but more so in equipment."

Lin Qi Feng said that the Lin family is involved in many industries like entertainment, real estate, medicine, construction machinery, and the internet, but their main focus is not on biomedicine.

"Invest heavily in Sky Umbrella Group, do us a small favor to get a confidential file, okay?"

"What are you going to do? Sky Umbrella Group is Qingyun’s biggest biotech company, a partner of the military. If I suddenly invest heavily in it, people will become suspicious."

"You don’t need to worry about what to do. I just need that file. The deadline given to me is six months. Use any means to get it for me. The Lin family will be rewarded unexpectedly."

"I know where you come from. How can you guarantee that the Lin family will enjoy this reward in the future?"

"That’s why I suggest legally owning these things, then causing a little accidental leak. This way, you won’t be implicated. Of course, we have prepared for the worst. If someone tries to use this against you, there will be people to help you. Please trust our power."

"One sentence may put thousands of Lin family members at risk. It’s really difficult for me as the head of this family."

"If Lin Family Leader has any difficulties, you can go back and ask your father or grandfather. Just reply to me within a week. Of course, if Lin family doesn’t want to cooperate this time, it’s okay. We can find someone else later."

The visitor spoke slowly, as if not in a hurry at all.

Lin Qifeng hesitated for a moment. Sky Umbrella Group is not an ordinary company, and the matters involved are too big. The visitor didn’t rush him and soon suggested leaving.

After the visitor left, Li Qifeng suddenly found a file bag left behind. When Lin Qifeng opened it, his expression changed instantly.

Because the file bag contained some confidential information about several major projects of Sky Umbrella Group. Lin family had desired these projects for a long time and had been working on them for a while without success.

If Lin family could secure these projects, they could make billions in profits at least, and more importantly, elevate Lin family to a higher level.

"Truly visionary and capable."

Lin Qifeng sighed deeply. He was even more torn now. The temptation of the file in his hand was overwhelming, but he also knew that the greater the temptation, the more dangerous it could be. It might lead to the downfall of the family. Should Lin family take a stand?
