Chapter 1340 - 673: Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device
There seemed to be a natural maternal glow about Lin Ya.
In front of her, Hei Lan was like a pure, innocent child, bursting into loud sobs.
She felt wronged inside; for Lin Ya, she had paid a lot, done many bad things.
Yet when she discovered that everything she had done was just wishful thinking on her part, that Lin Ya had never actually fallen into danger and was instead living quite well.
It was precisely her arrival that pushed Lin Ya’s life into passivity once again.
This was hard for her to accept, so she felt aggrieved.
Lin Ya’s tolerance and the heartache she showed for her only made her cry even harder.
Before the great flood, Hei Lan had just been an ordinary country girl who came to Meidu Garden to work as a female security guard.
Back then, whenever Lin Ya came in and out of the community, she would often run into her.
Because she was from the countryside and her own looks were nothing special, others often made fun of her, calling her the black, chubby girl.
Over time, this made her sensitive and deeply inferior inside.
Only Lin Ya, every time they met at the community gate, would take the initiative to greet her; sometimes at midnight, when Lin Ya passed by the gate, she would kindly bring her a late-night meal.
It didn’t cost much, but these little gestures were like a beam of light in Hei Lan’s gray world, illuminating her life.
Once, when Lin Ya came home, someone had set her up and forced her to drink a lot.
After she got out of the car at the community gate, a few men with bad intentions tailed her.
Hei Lan rushed up without hesitation and carried Lin Ya on her back home.
From then on, the two of them officially got to know each other and became friends.
Usually, when Lin Ya tried out new dishes, she would invite Hei Lan over to have a taste.
Naturally, Hei Lan couldn’t tell what was good or bad; she just kept repeating comments like "tasty" and "looks good."
But even such simple comments were enough to make Lin Ya beam with a full smile.
Every time Hei Lan patrolled at night, she would pay special attention to the area near Lin Ya’s home, helping her make sure it was safe at night.
Sometimes when it poured and Lin Ya’s bedding hanging out in the community couldn’t be taken in time, she would be the first to rush out and help her bring it back.
You could say their sisterly bond was not something established after the apocalypse.
They had already been very close even before the end of the world.
Then, after the apocalypse, when the great flood broke out.
Hei Lan rushed to Lin Ya’s place at the first moment, but being simple and honest by nature, she didn’t take part in any snatching of supplies.
Because of this, at the very beginning, they also lacked food.
When order in the building collapsed, quite a few people with bad intentions set their sights on the beautiful neighbor on the same floor—Lin Ya.
It was also Hei Lan who stood up and fought alongside her.
Until later, when Leng Yuehua rose to power and established a connection with them.
You could say Hei Lan’s friendship toward Lin Ya far surpassed Leng Yuehua’s twisted feelings for Lin Ya.
Liang Yuan had moved a bit further away, but in fact, with his physical attributes and sharp senses, he still heard everything loud and clear.
He hadn’t expected Lin Ya and this black, chubby woman to have such a deep bond of entanglement.
No wonder someone as smart as Lin Ya would actually plead for her a second time.
Two minutes later, Lin Ya walked back, her eyes red, and said to Liang Yuan, "Mr. Liang, I’ve already talked things through with her. We can go back now."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and didn’t ask more questions; he simply stepped forward and, as usual, wrapped an arm around her waist.
Swoosh!
The two of them rose into the air, soaring up into the sky.
Hei Lan on the ground grew smaller and smaller; Lin Ya wiped away her tears, keeping silent.
Liang Yuan glanced at her and sighed inwardly.
Soon the two flew back to Yangshan.
Landing at the Leader’s Mansion, the two of them had nothing to say for the moment.
"Mr. Liang, I’ll go to the shopping center first to buy some groceries and prepare dinner."
Lin Ya wiped her tears clean and spoke to Liang Yuan.
Liang Yuan nodded slightly.
Lin Ya turned around and headed toward the shopping center.
Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then said, "Hei Lan can stay in Yangshan, but you’ll need to vouch for her. If she does anything harmful to Yangshan, even if she runs, you’ll be held responsible."
Hearing this, Lin Ya suddenly spun around, her face full of surprise and joy.
"Really?"
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "This is the last time. There mustn’t be a next."
Lin Ya bowed again and again in excitement to thank him. "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Liang. Don’t worry, I’ll vouch for her. She definitely won’t cause any trouble."
"She’s actually a good person, just led astray by others."
"Mr. Liang, I really can’t thank you enough."
She expressed her gratitude excitedly, unaware that with every bow, the spring scenery at her chest was already exposed.
Large swathes of fair skin and those tender peach-like curves were all reflected in Liang Yuan’s line of sight.
This made even Liang Yuan’s heart race uncontrollably as a surge of wicked fire shot up inside him.
He turned around and said, "As long as you vouch for her, that’s enough."
Swoosh!
His figure flickered, and he had already stepped into the Leader’s Mansion.
Lin Ya looked up to see that he had vanished, but the smile on her face couldn’t help blooming.
Completely unaware that she had just had a wardrobe malfunction.
Back at the Leader’s Mansion, Liang Yuan picked up a stack of documents and quickly began dealing with the day’s affairs.
To be honest, when it came to governmental matters, all he needed to do was sign and keep a grip on the general direction.
He didn’t intend to interfere too much with the rest; after all, professional matters should be handled by professionals.
After hastily finishing the tasks at hand, Liang Yuan shifted his focus to the system.
"Over these past few days, my Points have finally broken through the one-million mark."
"It’s time to draw for something related to gene screening."
Liang Yuan took a deep breath and silently called out in his heart, "System."
The next moment, the system lottery panel popped up.
"Display all Million Points prizes related to improving gene recombination efficiency."
Shua!
As the data refreshed, a large number of new prizes appeared on the Lottery Disc.
Liang Yuan’s gaze swept over row after row of prizes, and the dazzling variety of items made his eyes widen at once.
1. Base-Fusion Forge: quantum entanglement accelerates DNA cutting-linking (efficiency ×30), worth 1,000,000 Points.
2. Spacetime-Bending Incubation Pod: internal time flow ×50 (1 hour = 2 days of cultivation cycle), worth 1,000,000 Points.
3. Nanoworm Swarm Injector: tens of millions of CRISPR Nanorobots (baseline editing for non-dividing cells), worth 1,000,000 Points.
4. Star Vein Spiral Fruit: contains retrotranscribing RNA virus (instantly rewrites somatic cells into stem cells), worth 1,000,000 Points.
5. Gene-Purifying Color Reagent: automatically matches color schemes for genes of the same attribute, worth 1,000,000 Points.
6. Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device: distinguishes different Genetic Species warning signals, worth 1,000,000 Points.
...
Liang Yuan swept a glance over them; all of them were all kinds of high-tech equipment.
Just from the names, it was obvious these things were not products that should exist in the current technological civilization.
Liang Yuan even saw many items like gene fruits, and his heart began to pound wildly.
Each of these items had detailed introductions: how much efficiency they improved, how many Energy Stones they consumed.
Liang Yuan carefully compared them, checking one by one.
Among the numerous gene devices and gene fruits, Liang Yuan ultimately chose a piece of equipment called the [Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device]!
[Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device]: Uses gene detection technology to distinguish between different types of genes. When a gene from a different source appears, the device will sound an alarm.
Detection range: twenty square meters.
Price: 1,000,000 Points.
Liang Yuan said without hesitation, "This one!"
What he valued about this model was its detection range!
Within a twenty-square-meter area, gene detection could be carried out.
Twenty square meters didn’t sound large, but it could accommodate quite a few people at once. Later, he could build several partitions, allowing multiple people to carry out Cultivation simultaneously.
That way, not only could he use it himself, the Superpower Users of Yangshan could all use these detectors.
Smiling, Liang Yuan directly spent a Million Points and took this warning device.
This Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device sounded rather ordinary, yet once actually exchanged, the whole machine took up a sizable footprint, a full two to three meters in width and height.
Liang Yuan put it into his inventory, then quickly headed to the Spirit-Gathering Pavilion.
He directly had the construction department dig out and hollow a Space beneath the Spirit-Gathering Pavilion, setting up various defensive Energy Shields and tech sensors.
He successfully built a room to house the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device.
Then, based on this room, he hollowed out a Cultivation Room section.
Each Cultivation Room was only two square meters, with nine in total, separated by solid stone walls engraved with Defense Runes like the Golden Armor Rune, and treated for soundproofing and the like.
This way, no matter how much commotion was made next door, it would be hard to disturb what was happening on this side.
Once everything was ready, Liang Yuan quickly installed the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device.
That very night, he directly took up residence in one of the cultivation rooms, throwing himself wholeheartedly into Cultivation.
When he closed his eyes again, he silently set the Hundred-Change Gene as the marker gene.
The next instant, under the effect of the instrument, the Hundred-Change Gene in his body all surfaced, stirring restlessly.
Liang Yuan immediately followed these restless genes and began rapidly recombining his gene sequence.
Time slowly passed, and very soon Liang Yuan’s Genetic Map continued to advance.
As the Hundred-Change Demon Ape Gene Map was constantly perfected, finally, after two hours—
Liang Yuan’s gene recombination progress instantly broke through 10%, reaching 11%!
And once it broke past ten percent, the subsequent progress would speed up dramatically.
Liang Yuan simply decided to ride the momentum and continued recombining genes.
Time ticked by bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day, Yang Mei brought Lin Ya over to deliver food to Liang Yuan.
"Dong dong dong."
"Little brother, the food’s ready. Lin Ya and I left it for you in the outer single room. Once you finish Cultivation, remember to come eat."
Inside the stone chamber, no one answered.
Yang Mei and Lin Ya exchanged a glance, both a little puzzled.
In the past, Liang Yuan would definitely respond with a few words; how come this time there was no response?
"Could something have happened?" Yang Mei couldn’t help saying.
Lin Ya hurriedly said, "Should we call someone to come take a look?"
Yang Mei shook her head slightly. "Little brother said that when he’s Cultivating, he doesn’t allow anyone to disturb him."
Lin Ya couldn’t help asking, "Then what do we do now?"
"Let’s wait a bit longer. Maybe little brother is at a critical point in his Cultivation."
Yang Mei knew Liang Yuan fairly well; she knew that if it wasn’t a critical moment, Liang Yuan definitely wouldn’t ignore people.
Sure enough, a few minutes later—
A sudden burst of loud laughter came from inside the stone chamber.
"Hahaha, twenty percent!"
"Three days, a full three days, and I finally pushed it to twenty percent!"
The stone chamber door opened, and Liang Yuan walked out, face full of delight.
His beard had already grown out, making him look a bit unkempt.
It was clear how utterly absorbed in Cultivation he had been these three days.
Don’t think three days is slow. You have to know that when he previously pushed his gene recombination progress to 10%, Liang Yuan had spent more than a full month.
Yet now it had taken only three days to rush straight to 20%!
The efficiency of the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device had given Liang Yuan an enormous surprise!
