Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 64: The Wonderful Uses of Evolution Theory

At this moment, Lin Shen’s feelings were quite complicated.

The “Evolution Theory” Base Mutation technique gave him a sense of déjà vu that could be described as “the harsher the environment, the more comfortable I feel, and the harder the fight, the more thrilling it is.” Isn’t this just a masochistic Base Mutation technique?

Lin Shen was someone who had not really suffered much, and he did not like to put himself through hardship. If one could enjoy life, why find suffering for oneself?

Moreover, the harsher the environment, the more dangerous it becomes, and the likelihood of losing one’s life increases.

If possible, Lin Shen felt that it was necessary for him to change to a different technique. The problem was that apart from this flawed version of “Evolution Theory,” he couldn’t master any other technique.

“It looks like I’ll need to try out several Base Mutation techniques. If I can’t find any on this planet, then I’ll have to search on other planets,” Lin Shen thought to himself.

He might have thought so, but Lin Shen had to admit that this masochistic Base Mutation technique was indeed very useful. Even though his body was still shaking, it didn’t feel bad at all. Under the refinement of “Evolution Theory,” his body had truly adapted to the shaking brought about by the sonic waves.

This made Lin Shen wonder if he fell into the sea, would “Evolution Theory” grant him the ability to breathe underwater.

“If I went to a planet with no oxygen, could ‘Evolution Theory’ adapt my body to an environment without oxygen?” Lin Shen wondered to himself.

Seeing Lin Shen remain indifferent, the man changed his mind and decided not to limit his strength to thirty percent but instead increased the output of his sonic wave attacks.

Clearly, “Evolution Theory” was not almighty. It could help Lin Shen adapt to sonic wave attacks, but if the power of the sonic waves exceeded the limits his body could bear, then there was nothing it could do.

When the man increased the power of his sonic wave attack to forty percent, which was roughly equivalent to a strength of 16 points, Lin Shen felt his body struggle to bear it and he experienced intense pain.

Left with no choice, Lin Shen had to use his Base Mutation strength, and like a mirror, a Steel Carapace wrapped around his entire body, making him feel much better.

With the Steel Carapace and his own resistance to sonic vibrations, he was able to withstand a 16-point sonic wave attack, despite only having a hardness and toughness of 11 points.

The man was even more surprised when he realized that Lin Shen was indeed just a Steel Mutator.

He had begun to doubt whether Lin Shen was really the Steel Mutator Ye Yuzhen had mentioned, or if he had already advanced to Alloy Level. Otherwise, how could he withstand his forty percent power sonic wave attack?

Yet, to his surprise, Lin Shen was truly just a Steel Mutator. He wondered how Lin Shen had managed to withstand his forty percent power sonic attack with just his Steel Body, it didn’t make sense even to him.

“How much more can he endure?” Lin Shen’s resilience piqued the man’s curiosity and competitive spirit, prompting him to add another ten percent to his power.

Immediately, Lin Shen’s body began to shake violently. He could no longer bear such power and almost instinctively stood up.

He wanted to stay to save his life, not to throw it away. Continuing at this rate would kill him, so there would be no point in staying.

“Damn it!” Seeing Lin Shen’s condition, the man also realized he had been too reckless. It was a miracle that Lin Shen could withstand his forty percent power, but as a Steel Mutator, how could he possibly withstand fifty percent?

Seeing Lin Shen about to stand up, the man quickly lowered the power of his sonic wave attacks and stretched out a hand to hold Lin Shen down, preventing him from getting up.

It was a joke; Ye Yuzhen had asked him to help with an act, not to really drive Lin Shen away. If he actually drove Lin Shen away, there would be no way to wrap things up and no way to explain to Ye Yuzhen.

If it caused any injuries, Ye Yuzhen would undoubtedly have a falling out with him.

Just as Lin Shen was about to stand up, he suddenly felt a hand pressing down on his shoulder and his face changed color, thinking the man wanted to harm him.

Just as he was about to pull out a gun, he realized that the power of the sonic wave attack had greatly diminished, leaving him utterly confused.

“Indeed, the new waves in the Yangtze River push forward the old ones, each generation is stronger than the last. Yuzhen, your judgment is not bad, Lin Shen is not only handsome but also gifted with exceptional talent, his strength is unfathomable, much stronger than me. I was being quite reckless just now…” The man, afraid of hurting Lin Shen and having Yuzhen turn against him, hastily concluded after a cursory round and immediately started compensating wildly.

Lin Shen looked at the man with suspicion. The man’s strength was clearly much stronger than his own, so why did he suddenly hold back his power, letting him pass, and then say such things?

After a moment of thought, Lin Shen seemed to understand something and looked at Ye Yuzhen with a curious gaze.

“Are you alright?” Ye Yuzhen was clearly not so easily fooled; she had already seen through the trickery, gave the man a glare, and walked quickly to Lin Shen’s side. While checking his condition, she asked with concern.

“I’m fine, I should even thank your brother for showing mercy.” Lin Shen deactivated his Base Mutation and said with a smile, “I’ve passed this round, so does this mean our matter is settled?”

“Our matter? What matter?” Ye Yuzhen asked puzzledly.

“Getting married, of course.” Lin Shen thought it would be nice to marry Ye Yuzhen, considering that if anything happened to him in the future, with such a family on her side, nobody could bully her or the kids she’d be taking care of.

“It seems the lesson I gave you just now wasn’t harsh enough.” Ye Yuzhen glared at him with annoyance, the corners of her eyes flickering with three parts thin anger and seven parts coquettish irritation, presenting a captivating allure.

“I think it’s a deal, Lin Shen is a really sincere guy, a responsible man.” The man chuckled from the sidelines.

“If it’s settled for you, why don’t you marry him?” Ye Yuzhen sharply glared at the man. The fierceness in her eyes was real, completely different from when she had glared at Lin Shen before.

“Cough cough.” The man pretended to cough and dared not speak further.

“This is my elder brother Ye Tianzhen.” Seeing that Lin Shen was indeed alright, Ye Yuzhen finally relaxed and introduced the man to him.

“In the future, we’re all family, so you can call me Tian Zhen or brother,” Ye Tianzhen said with a smile.

“Tian Zhen, it’s incredible that you can use sonic wave attacks,” Lin Shen murmured, thinking about how to invite Xiao over for a sleep, and he climbed onto the topic of conversation.

“It’s not that I’m strong; it’s that this flute is powerful. It transforms my strength into sonic wave power that can harm people,” Ye Tianzhen said somewhat proudly.

“Is there really such a magical artifact in the world? Where did you find such a treasure, Tian Zhen?” Lin Shen felt a bit troubled.

Such a precious artifact, if he said he wanted to borrow it for a night’s sleep, would Ye Tianzhen lend it to him?

“Speaking of this flute, it actually has something to do with your Lin Family. Don’t you know about it?” Ye Tianzhen said.

“It’s related to my family?” Lin Shen was slightly startled; he had no idea that his family had ever had any connection with this miraculous flute.

“Your second brother is Lin Yin, right?” Ye Tianzhen asked.

“Right.” Lin Shen nodded.

“Then there’s no mistake, this flute originally belonged to your second brother, Lin Yin. Later, he lost a bet to my family and the flute has been with the Ye family ever since,” Ye Tianzhen shared the story behind the artifact.

“This flute was originally my second brother’s?” Lin Shen’s confusion deepened; he had never heard anything about it from his family.
