Astral Apostle

   Chapter 65 Genetic Medicine

   Zhou Jing touched his body and chose this resistance trait. There was no obvious change in his body, and he couldn't tell from his appearance.

   He tried to activate the "internal discharge" state, golden lightning flashed in his eyes, the electric current stimulated the organs, and the slight tingling and numbness that had originally become almost imperceptible.

   "The effect seems very good. Although it doesn't meet the internal discharge side effect saving throw of advanced electric shock resistance, it is close."

   Zhou Jing was quite satisfied with the effect of this trait.

   He chose [Elemental Resistance], on the one hand, to increase the battery life of the "internal discharge" and reduce side effects, and on the other hand, to take into account his vulnerability to energy attacks.

Although most of the alien beasts are physical attacks, there are not many alien beasts with special abilities, and [Elemental Resistance] is rarely used... But I am a speed flow, and I can parry and block in the face of physical attacks. Against energy attacks, there is nothing that can be done.

  Zhou Jing still hasn't forgotten that the last time he dealt with the one-inch man, he was beaten by the opponent's melee attack with supernormal energy, and he was almost unable to fight back.

   There are obviously a lot of "Alteral Lifeforms" in this world. Maybe one day they will encounter them again. He feels that it is more beneficial to have a "Magic Resistance" trait.

  Astral Apostle can build his own ability system without worrying about affecting his main body, so he is not too entangled when choosing.

   Scanned the attributes again and confirmed that the enhanced information was finished, and Zhou Jing closed the panel.

   "The three enhanced species are dragons, tigers and leopards... They are all beasts."

   Zhou Jing looked down, his body was stronger than before, with a thick body, he looked like a strong man.

   The strengthening this time was quite smooth, and both his and Ross’s combat power had been upgraded. Among the hunter groups in the current world, they were somewhat masters, and it was a worthwhile trip.

   He did not stay in the woods for a long time, and took Ross back the same way, and returned to the imperial hunter station at dawn.

   Zhou Jing waited until noon before going to Kleber, saying that the strengthening was successful.

   "Have you completed three enhancements?"

  Kreiber was eating a big pot of rice with many hunters in the cafeteria. Hearing Zhou Jing's words, he pulled out the head stuffed in the rice bowl and lifted the head covered with rice grains, his face full of surprise.

  The lively cafeteria was silent, and the surrounding hunters moved and cast their surprised eyes.

   "...What kind of eyes do you guys look at? Are you expecting me to fail?" Zhou Jing wondered.

   "Of course not. It's your speed..."

  Kreiber's tone was subtle.

  If he remembered correctly, it has only been two days since this person got the medicine?

  Foreign blood enhancement is such a dangerous thing. Generally, hunters need to adjust their state for at least seven or eight days. How can anyone dare to do so quickly.

   When he was strengthened three times that year, he had to adjust for half a month before he had the courage to drink the alien blood potion.

   And when most imperial hunters are strengthening, they will find a companion to protect themselves. What is going on with this person, quietly strengthening, and then amaze everyone?

  Creiber looked at Zhou Jing, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

  ...This kid, I'm afraid he's not a bit of a reckless type?

   Surprised but surprised, seeing that someone passed the threshold of strengthening three times, many hunters were still very happy, and they did not eat, and came up to congratulate.

   "Congratulations, Jace, is it time to invite us to dinner?"

   "Okay, we have another backbone, and we will be good at hunting in the future."

   Numerous hunters surrounded Zhou Jing, laughing constantly.

   Although we have only known each other for a few days, the identity and responsibilities of a hunter have a high sense of collective identity, which connects different people closely and can quickly accept each other.

  Kreiber didn’t tangle any more, let everyone be quiet, and then said:

   "Since you have completed the three enhancements, you are qualified to lead a hunter team independently. What are your thoughts?"

   Zhou Jing pondered for a while, but shook his head: "I'd better follow the other teams to observe the hunting methods of the imperial hunters, and I haven't taken the imperial hunter's course, and I want to devote myself to studying it during this time."

   "That's fine too." Crabbe had no objection and made a decision directly: "Then you should join Cole's team, anyway, you are the best acquaintance with him."

   "Okay." Zhou Jing nodded.

  Leading the team independently, if you are dispatched in the idle mode, if you are the main force of the team, you may have a big problem, and it will be much easier to follow another team that has strengthened the hunter three times.

   At least until he masters most of the Hunter's Breathing techniques of the Imperial Hunters, he does not plan to lead the team by himself.

  With Crabbe's approval, Zhou Jing immediately went to see Cole and joined the opponent's team, which went quite smoothly.

   The team leader extended a warm welcome to Zhou Jing. There was one more hunter in the team to strengthen the hunter three times, so he would be more sure to go out hunting. Naturally, he had no reason to object.

   According to word of mouth, the imperial hunters in the station all know that this newcomer, Jace, has completed three enhancements, which has become a talking point for a period of time.

   But no one can always occupy the center of others' lives. As Zhou Jing kept a low profile and found someone to learn Hunter's Breathing, Imperial Hunters gradually became accustomed to the existence of new companions, and life seemed to return to peace.

  …

  [This campaign has ended! ]

  [Actual length of stay: 12 days]

  [Resource collection: 520 astral points]

  [The experience log has been archived, and the relevant exploration results are entered in the illustrated book]

  [Cooldown time of next shuttle: 16 hours]

  Zhou Jing set up a placement mode focusing on the development of breathing techniques, so he exited the shuttle preparation space and returned to the main body.

  The main world.

  The morning sun shines into the rental house, and there are floating dust in the light.

   Zhou Jing on the bed flicked his eyelashes and opened his eyes.

   He turned over and sat up, and opened the transformable ability library of his body, which showed Jason's ability to strengthen three times.

  [Extraordinary System: Alien Blood Warrior-Three Enhancements (Golden Thunder Dragon)]

  [Capability Source: Jason Wood (No. 002)]

  [Conversion consumption: 3000 astral points, 30 information particles]

  [Condition: Astral Shuttle Level Lv2]

   "Not bad, sure enough, the ability library has been refreshed synchronously."

   Zhou Jing was in a good mood and immediately closed this interface.

   He is not in a hurry to transform into new abilities. The power user registration has been completed, and he is waiting for the immigrant spaceship to set sail to the new planet to receive the power user's re-education. Now there is no use for improving the power of the body.

   Anyway, the achievements of the Eternal Apostle will not run away in the ability pool, so there is no need to invest this fee immediately.

   In Zhou Jing's view, converting the achievements of the astral apostles to the main body is the ultimate benefit, and before that, using the astral point on the apostles is a long-term investment. When the main body is stable, more investment is the best.

   He has a plan to generate new apostles, so prepare to save more astral points.

"Jason has already integrated into the Empire Hunter, and has time to develop. Hunter's breathing technique can be practiced slowly. If you are not in a hurry, you can use the practice to speed up and keep sprinting. Let him first provide resources... As for what route the new apostle will take, you can think of something else. "

   Zhou Jing pondered.

   He can only access the alien blood warrior system at present. The new apostles may also follow this route, but with Jason Zhuyu in front, there is no need to rush to strengthen them.

  Becoming a different blood warrior is to gain strength and fast self-protection. Now, with Jason as a shelter, the new apostle can consider some special routes and learn some skills.

   "Now my source of intelligence is only the hunter group. The new apostles don't have to be hunters, but enter a new industry. Maybe they can learn information unique to other levels and come into contact with different groups of people."

   Zhou Jing thought about it for a while, and roughly came up with some ideas.

   He put this matter aside for the time being, got up to wash and eat, and picked up the phone to check the news.

   When he was "sleeping" last night, the Super Energy Bureau sent a message that the approval of the assistant quota had ended, and Zhang Xiao could use the genetic medicine in the past today.

   At present, only the elementary genetic medicine can be purchased, and the asking price is 250,000 nasos. Compared with the value of the genetic medicine itself, this is almost the price of cabbage, but it is still a price that Zhou Jing cannot afford now.

   But yesterday, Zhang Xiao came to the news, saying that 370,000 Nasos had been raised, and he was still working hard to raise money.

  According to the external market price, an assistant can sell for more than 5 million on average. If someone bids, tens of millions or hundreds of millions is not impossible... 370,000 is far from reaching the market price.

   "Di Di Di—"

   Just when Zhou Jing was thinking about it, the phone rang suddenly, it was an unknown call.

   He answered the phone, but did not speak, the other side spoke first.

   "Hello, is this Zhou Jing?"

"who are you?"

   "I'm Zhang Xiao's brother, Zhang Xing. It should be our first call."

"Is there a problem?"

   Zhou Jing squinted, he remembered that Zhang Xiao often mentioned this person, this is the real successor of the family business.

   "That's right, I heard Zhang Xiao say that you are going to sell the assistantship. I am willing to pay 8 million to buy it, which is higher than the market price. I will also compensate Zhang Xiao with 2 million. What do you think?"

   "...Listen to what you mean, do you want to replace him and become my assistant?"

"I know you and Zhang Xiao are friends, that's why I consider him, but he can't get enough of the market price for the assistant's quota, so you will suffer a loss. Why don't you sell the quota to me. I will talk about Zhang Xiao's side, no harm Your friendship, he will understand..."

"goodbye."

   Before the man could finish speaking, Zhou Jing hung up the phone and was too lazy to say more.

   It seems that Zhang Xiao has already had a showdown with his family. They are all in the family but they don’t have enough money together. It only means that Zhang Xiao’s family is not willing to invest too much in him, and important members of the family are also eyeing this quota.

   If it is a normal situation, Zhang Xiao's family should not be like this. One more power user is only good, and he will be valued in the future.

   But Zhang Xiao was afraid that he planned to immigrate with three friends, so his family was reluctant to give him too much money.

   Going to other planets can't help the family, the investment is wasted, and there is not enough income... If Zhang Xiao wants to use the family's money, he probably agrees not to immigrate.

   Zhang Xiao is still raising money, indicating that he is still negotiating with his family.

   Zhou Jing thought about it and called Zhang Xiao.

   "Hey, Jing, what's the matter." Zhang Xiao answered the call and asked.

   "How much have you raised now?"

   "It's only 370,000... If you wait, I can get more..."

   Zhang Xiao thought he was urging him to raise money.

   He has had a bad quarrel with his family recently. The money at home was not brought by the wind. He didn’t want to invest five million in a guy who was going to immigrate.

   As a marginal person, he is not eligible to use the family funds.

  If the benefit of the assistantship lands on the helm or successor, they are only willing to give big money for themselves.

  Zhang Xiaozheng was struggling to raise money, but he didn't want to play emotional cards to complain, so he immediately made up his mind.

   Zhou Jing interrupted him and said directly: "No need, 370,000 is enough, transfer the money."

   "This... This is not enough for the market price." Zhang Xiao was startled.

"What's the market price, don't talk nonsense, transfer the money to me, the Super Energy Bureau is still waiting for me to pay for the medicine, you will come to inject today, I still have other things to do, how can I wait for you every day, wait for you to get together How long will it take to finish the money? Maybe we are all on the boat!" Zhou Jing said impolitely.

   Zhang Xiao was silent for a while, then suddenly said:

   "Did my family call you?"

   "Excuse me, are you curious about the baby? Hurry up and pay! I'll go to the Super Energy Bureau right away. If I can't see you there, I'll pinch your ass."

   Zhou Jing cut off the call, notified the other two best friends to go to the Super Energy Bureau to meet, and immediately put on clothes and went out.

  …

   Twenty-five minutes later, Xihai City Super Energy Bureau.

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

   "Yo, Jingjing is here." Seeing Zhou Jing, Li Xiaoyin immediately waved her hand to say hello.

   Zhang Xiao looked over with a complicated expression.

   He didn't want to take advantage of his friends, but in the end he still owed Zhou Jing's favor.

   But speaking of this, he could only accept Zhou Jing's kindness, and he secretly kept it in his heart.

   Zhou Jing walked to the side of the three and patted Zhang Xiao on the shoulder: "How are you, are you ready?"

   Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, and then his fat face collapsed: "No."

   "Then let's go back and come back when he's ready." Xu Lingyun was about to pull Zhou Jing and Li Xiaoyin away.

"You get out."

   Zhang Xiao was not angry, and immediately said helplessly:

   "I don't even know what it's like to use genetic medicine, so I can't prepare myself mentally."

   Hearing this, Xu Lingyun, who had come here, instantly became serious:

"Have you had your breakfast?"

   Zhang Xiao was stunned: "No, didn't the doctor's order given by the Super Energy Bureau remind you to fast on the day of strengthening?"

  Xu Lingyun nodded in relief: "It's fine if you don't eat it, otherwise the stomach will lose control during the strengthening, and it will spew shit."

   "How do you know... You didn't follow the doctor's orders when you strengthened it?"

   "It's not important." Xu Lingyun waved his hand: "Anyway, as long as you don't eat, the genetic medicine is very safe, but it hurts a little."

   "How painful is it?" Zhang Xiao had no confidence in Xu Lingyun, who was running on the train.

  Li Xiaoyin tapped her chin with her finger and said thoughtfully, "It will probably sound like killing a pig. I even recorded a video."

   "Is there a video, I haven't seen it yet." Zhou Jing was curious.

  Li Xiaoyin was in high spirits: "Hey, don't you know that when Lao Xu finished strengthening and opened the genetic cabin, half of him were soaked in shit. You didn't see the disgusting expressions of those researchers..."

   "Ahem! Let's go in, don't make the people in the Super Energy Bureau wait too long!"

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

   Zhou Jing did not continue the topic, but just gave Li Xiaoyin a wink.

  —Send me a copy of the video later.

  Li Xiaoyin understood and made an OK gesture.

   The group came to the reinforcement site, Feng Feng and the researchers of the Super Energy Bureau have been waiting here for a long time.

  A metal round cabin was placed in the center of the room, and there were many injection needles in the cabin. The catheters of these needles were connected to a row of medicine tubes filled with light blue liquid outside.

   These light blue liquids are primary genetic medicines, the products of genetic engineering technology in the main world.

   "The equipment is ready, do you want to use it first or pay first?" Feng Feng reminded him with a smile while performing his duties.

  Zhou Jing had already received Zhang Xiao's transfer, and the small account balance was injected into a huge sum of money that he had never handled in his life.

   He didn't hesitate, and gave the Super Energy Bureau 250,000 Nassau on the spot.

   The actual income from Zhang Xiao was only 120,000.

   "Lay in."

   Zhou Jing put away his phone and pouted towards the metal round cabin.

   Zhang Xiao patted Zhou Jing on the shoulder, saying nothing.

   He took a deep breath, took off his clothes under the guidance of the researcher, put a bunch of electromagnetic sheets on his skin, and drank a few bottles of different catalysts, and then he lay upright in the cabin.

  chi—the air pump sounded, the hatch was closed, and Zhang Xiao was locked inside.

   Zhou Jing and others, at Feng Feng's request, walked out of the room and waited. They could only watch the situation in the room through the glass window.

   Several researchers began to frequently debug the equipment, chanting words in their mouths.

   "The device is functioning normally, the energy beam is ready, and can be strengthened at any time..."

   "Countdown... Three, two, one, inject the potion!"

   As soon as the voice fell, the injection needles were inserted into Zhang Xiao's body, and the light blue genetic medicine was quickly injected along the catheter.

The    metal round cabin began to operate, making a humming sound, and Zhang Xiao’s painful cry soon sounded inside.

   Zhou Jing rubbed his chin with interest: "It really sounds like killing a pig."

  Xu Lingyun pouted and said indignantly: "Hmph, he doesn't sound as nice as me, and there are too many broken sounds. It's better for me to be high-pitched, wave after wave."

   "...What's the matter with your inexplicable desire to win?"

  Li Xiaoyin couldn't help but complain.

   A few people chatted and joked and waited patiently, but they were not worried at all.

  The genetic medicine technology of the Star Consortium countries is extremely mature, and the risk of primary genetic medicine has long been minimized and almost negligible.

   It took four or five hours for the strengthening process to end.

   The hatch cover popped up with a click, and white mist emerged from the inside.

   The researcher rushed to the side of the metal cabin and helped Zhang Xiao out.

   Zhang Xiao was covered in sweat, panting heavily, and could barely stand still.

   His body has undergone tremendous changes. He used to be a fat and fat man, but now he is a fat fat man, and fat can't cover the outline of his muscles.

"how do you feel?"

   "Is there any discomfort?"

   "Did you leak excrement?"

   The three entered the room and asked with concern.

   Zhang Xiao gasped for a while, tremblingly found a seat and sat down, but he couldn't control his strength and almost pinched the armrest of the chair.

   He repeated the movement of clenching his fists and spreading his palms, feeling the erratic strength due to the sharp increase, his face full of excitement and surprise.

   "Is this an extraordinary fitness, I feel like I can topple an entire building now!"

  Li Xiaoyin laughed: "It's just the illusion of skyrocketing power, you are already low-key enough, what Lao Xu said at the time could penetrate the entire planet!"

   "...Did he say it in shit?"

  Xu Lingyun ignored the two of them, squatted down and carefully looked at Zhang Xiao's crotch, and muttered to himself:

   "Why is there no yellow at all, I don't believe you pulled it so clean last night..."

   "Enough is enough!" Zhou Jing couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed Xu Lingyun's head with his big hands and slid him aside.

   Zhang Xiao looked at the joking people and felt a little emotional.

   More than half a month ago, he could not have imagined that everyone has become a power user now, and all four of them have embarked on this road.

   Zhou Jing turned his head to look at the genetic medicine remaining in the catheter, his eyes flashed slightly.

   In other words, the genetic medicine in the main world and the alien blood medicine in the alien world should have different craftsmanship.

   I don’t know if I can receive genetic medicine enhancement after receiving the different blood enhancement…

   When he was distracted, Feng Feng came over, interrupted a few people's chat, and said with a smile:

   "Congratulations, you are also a power user, the bureau will step up to create documents for you..."

   He explained the process that Zhou Jing had gone through before, and Zhang Xiao had to go through the process again.

   After listening to the two of them chatting, Li Xiaoyin suddenly spoke and asked Feng Feng:

   "By the way, we want to immigrate to a new planet, what procedures should be done here at the Super Energy Bureau?"

  Feng Feng was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and said: "You need to fill out a few application forms, and the rest will be arranged by the Super Energy Bureau... Do the four of you have this plan?"

  Li Xiaoyin turned her head to take a look, Zhou Jing and the others nodded, this was already agreed.

   "That's right, the four of us are going."

   "I need to report this situation to my superiors, but the Super Energy Bureau respects your wishes."

   said, Feng Feng added:

"The procedure will take some time. If you have made up your mind, you can first participate in the pre-immigration training class organized by the Super Energy Bureau. The super power users of this batch of immigrants from Xihai City are all in it. They will be passengers on board together, some of them People will become your contemporaries in the future, if you want, you can get to know them in advance."
