Cheng Xue naturally also noticed that Su Mo was somewhat cold, so she spoke up, “I’ll go get some branches and leaves to start a fire.”
“There’s no need for that much trouble, there are monsters mutated everywhere outside, starting a fire is not a good choice.”
Su Mo shook his head.
“But if you keep this up, you won’t be able to withstand it.
You probably haven’t used the Type II Genetic Potion yet.
Rather than freezing to death, it’s better to take some risks.”
Cheng Xue’s expression was exceptionally firm, and she wasn’t worried about attracting monsters.
“Wait.”
When Su Mo heard what Cheng Xue said, he suddenly thought of something, tapped on his bracelet, and checked his own spark’s Evolution Value.
As a result, he found that it had unknowingly reached a full one hundred percent.
Among them, the Type III superorganism, the Corpse Ghost Beast, contributed a large portion, and the others were those mutated players; the Evolution Value they contributed was exceptionally hefty.
Then, Su Mo took out a Type II Genetic Potion·TSDI Universal Genetic Enhancement Injection (Perfect) from his backpack.
Cheng Xue, seeing Su Mo take out the Type II Genetic Potion, wasn’t surprised at all.
She just sincerely admired that Su Mo always managed to give people unexpected surprises.
“I’ll use this injection now, help me watch the surroundings, and don’t let other things disturb me.”
“Okay!”
Cheng Xue replied without any hesitation.
Su Mo no longer hesitated to jab the Genetic Injector into his arm and inject it.
The moment after the injection, Su Mo felt his heart beating violently, getting faster and faster as if it was about to burst, his entire organs began convulsing violently, the severe pain nearly made him pass out.
He gritted his teeth and stubbornly held on, not knowing how long it was before the severe pain began to diminish.
But then, his whole body started to itch, as if countless ants were biting him.
Pearl-like drops of sweat continuously streamed down from his forehead.
At this moment, a pattern of flames emerged on Su Mo’s chest, then swiftly, with that as the center, countless fissures spread out like a spider’s web, red flames covering his entire body through the cracks.
Cheng Xue, witnessing Su Mo’s pained expression, said nothing.
She believed that with Su Mo’s willpower, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to endure.
About half an hour later, the negative state of Su Mo’s body gradually faded, and his expression slowly eased.
“How do you feel?”
Cheng Xue took out a bottle of frozen mineral water from her backpack and passed it over, asking with concern.
Su Mo took a deep breath, and in that instant, his entire presence underwent a qualitative change.
He replied calmly, “Very good!”
At that moment, Su Mo felt better than he ever had before.
The feeling was miraculous, as if his whole body was light and airy, his mind exceptionally clear, and his thoughts moving faster.
He tapped his bracelet, opening the spark’s tab.
It clearly read there.
Stage II Spark Evolution Level (10%)
Special Effect 1: Life Tenacity passively strengthened by 10%
Special Effect 2: Exerts a certain deterrence against first-stage organisms.
Su Mo then opened the system log, and he clearly saw a series of prompts there.
Prompt: Congratulations on your successful use of the Type II Genetic Potion·TSDI Universal Genetic Enhancement Injection (Perfect).
Prompt 1: Congratulations, your body’s basic strength in all aspects has been enhanced by 3.1 times.
Prompt 2: Congratulations, you have acquired Level 2 Radiation Resistance.
Prompt 3: Congratulations, you have gained Level 2 Antiviral Ability.
Prompt 4: Congratulations on strengthening your neural responses by 2.3 times (effect varies).
Prompt 5: Congratulations, your Life Tenacity has increased by 2 times.
Prompt 6: Congratulations on enhancing your intelligence by 1.7 times.
Prompt 7: Congratulations on successfully activating a hidden gene sequence, acquiring Resistance to Spiritual Pollution.
Su Mo looked at the series of prompts and after checking his body, he made sure that there were no mutations.
He was very satisfied, especially with the last activated Spiritual Pollution Resistance.
This resistance seemed to be used to counter the contamination from biological machines.
Although it was only activated and the resistance level wasn’t very high, having some was better than none.
Qian Chengxue sat quietly beside him, waiting for Su Mo to finish examining his physical state before asking.
“Are you still cold?”
“Not anymore.”
Su Mo took a moment to feel his surroundings.
The cold temperature and the biting wind blew past him without causing any reaction.
It seemed that after his evolution to Type II, his body had completely left the realm of ordinary humans.
“It looks like the Genetic Potion you used was pretty good, it significantly increased your strength.”
“No matter how much it increased, it’s not very useful.
In fact, it’s just to prevent me from freezing to death.”
Su Mo replied awkwardly.
“That’s true.”
Qian Chengxue nodded in resignation.
Then, the two lapsed into silence, unsure of what to talk about.
The night grew thicker, and the blizzard gradually subsided.
Su Mo and Qian Chengxue leaned against a withered tree, gazing up at the starry sky.
At some point, the grey clouds had dispersed, revealing the twinkling stars.
The stars were gentle, the evening breeze cool, and the myriad of starlight filtered through the withered branches, falling upon them both.
Both Su Mo and Qian Chengxue had quiet personalities and hardly had any topics for conversation.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned somewhat subtle, and the air seemed to grow awkward.
After all, the two had never been alone together and were somewhat unaccustomed to it.
After a while, Qian Chengxue broke the silence, asking.
“Su Mo, I have a question I want to ask you, if that’s okay?”
“Sure.”
Su Mo responded, somewhat nervously.
Qian Chengxue seemed to notice something and let out a slight chuckle, then said to Su Mo, “It’s just the two of us here.
We’ve been through life and death together, so we should be considered friends.
You don’t need to worry about any hierarchical relationships, just relax and talk.”
“Alright!”
Su Mo nodded emphatically.
Qian Chengxue turned her head to look intently at Su Mo’s face, causing him to feel even more uncomfortable.
Just then, Qian Chengxue asked with curiosity, “Su Mo, I’m curious.
You don’t seem like you’re from the lower strata.
Your talent and strength are quite exceptional, especially the aura you exude unintentionally is not something an ordinary person possesses.
Why did you come to our guild?”
After hearing this, Su Mo responded awkwardly, “Actually, I ended up in your guild by accident, and it was more about repaying a debt.”
After listening to him, Qian Chengxue shook her head and replied, “That’s even more strange.
People from the lower strata wouldn’t refuse money, and I’ve given you so many opportunities, but you don’t care about them at all.”
“Isn’t it to repay the debt?”
“And what about after that’s done?”
“Ah~ For me, if one person is full, the whole family isn’t hungry.
I don’t have any worries or burdens.
As for money, having enough is fine.”
“I don’t think that’s the case.
Let me tell you this.
Money is incredibly important for people from the lower strata, even more so than life itself.
Initially, I thought you were just someone who didn’t care about money.
But later, I realized it’s not like that at all – you completely disregard it.
If you truly come from the lower strata, then your view on money is foolishly naive.
In this world, the classes are fixed, and they usually don’t change.
Ordinary people spend their whole lives without significant change.
For someone like you, who suddenly burst forth with such strong abilities and talent within Star Ring, if you really are from the lower strata, you should firmly grasp these opportunities, because once missed, they will be gone.”
Qian Chengxue said earnestly.
After listening, Su Mo felt a warmth in his heart.
Although Qian Chengxue’s words were not pleasant, most of them were out of consideration for him.
So, Su Mo looked intently at Qian Chengxue.
“Do you really want to know?”
