Chapter 68: Another Supply Unlock, the Gene Evolution Serum

Dusk was approaching.

Shen Yi finally walked out of the bedroom.

Lin Zhiwei had already fallen asleep from exhaustion.

She was so tired that she had no energy left to pester Shen Yi about his superpowers.

The once indifferent Lin Zhiwei had clearly developed a taste for pleasure!

During their earlier session she had been extremely proactive, clinging to Shen Yi for several extra rounds.

“Women really do say one thing and mean another!”

Shen Yi chuckled.

They had agreed on once a month, yet she had burned through several months’ quotas in a single day!

Immediately afterward.

Shen Yi looked at Qu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the sofa with a flushed face, secretly watching a short video.

The video queen obviously had not noticed that Shen Yi was already standing behind her.

Shen Yi walked over and hugged her from behind.

“Ah! W-Why are you out already!”

Startled, Qu Xiaoxiao saw Shen Yi, her face turning crimson as she hurried to turn off the screen.

Yet the video still playing on the phone kept emitting indecent sounds.

“It’s fine, let’s watch it together.”

Shen Yi was interested as well.

Blushing, Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to reject Shen Yi outright.

But for some reason, she ended up saying nothing.

And just like that, a new reward was unlocked again.

[Ding!]

[A Goddess has been successfully taken in; initiating random supply unlock…]

[Ding! Unlock successful. Congratulations, you obtained: a ripe black-skinned watermelon!] (These are delicious in real life~)

[Black-skinned watermelon +1, stored in System Space]

[Black-skinned watermelon +1, stored in System Space]

[Black-sk…]

Lying on the sofa, Shen Yi looked at the reward and felt it was acceptable.

All his previous supplies had been meat, so getting some fruit made his diet a bit more balanced.

Besides, Shen Yi remembered reading online that only a few dozen black-skinned watermelons were produced worldwide each year and that one had once sold for several thousand dollars.

Since the System always awarded items of the highest quality, this black-skinned watermelon had to be the cream of the crop.

“Creak…”

The bedroom door opened and Lin Zhiwei walked out barefoot, yawning.

Glancing at the girl still pretending to sleep on the sofa, she said directly, “Go rest in the bedroom; I need to talk to Shen Yi.”

Qu Xiaoxiao, who had hoped to get through the awkward scene by feigning sleep, had no choice but to wake up.

She glanced at Lin Zhiwei, her face flushing and heart racing, thinking this woman had absolutely no sense of shame!

They had just finished that, and an outsider like her was still here; how could she not be embarrassed at all!

Qu Xiaoxiao’s skin was nowhere near as thick; after having just shared the same man with Lin Zhiwei, she simply could not stay in the same room so casually.

She immediately covered her clothes in embarrassment and trotted into the bedroom.

Lin Zhiwei did not care about any of that; wearing only thin underwear, she sat beside Shen Yi and said seriously, “I have been pondering something: your genes must have undergone a beneficial mutation, which is why you can host so many superpowers.”

“Didn’t you just pass out from pleasure? How were you thinking?”

Shen Yi immediately caught the key point.

Lin Zhiwei shot him a speechless look yet still answered, “Even while asleep I can keep my mind clear and think normally, so I don’t waste any time resting.”

“My body needs rest, but my mind doesn’t; as long as my body recovers, I can keep working.”

Innate workhorse Constitution!

Those words popped up in Shen Yi’s mind.

However, could someone really stay conscious while sleeping? That was insane!

Doing it once or twice was fine, but if she did it every time, wouldn’t she drive herself crazy?

“Back to the main topic. If your genes really mutated beneficially, you might be able to use a gene evolution serum I developed earlier,” Lin Zhiwei said earnestly.

“A gene evolution serum you developed? What kind of serum is it?”

Shen Yi became interested at once.

The apocalypse had only just begun; how could this woman already have produced a gene evolution serum? Was she really that awesome?

Could it be because of her third superpower?

Had her higher intelligence given her that ability?

Or maybe she had always been this smart.

In any case, Shen Yi was very interested in the gene serum.

If Lin Zhiwei could really produce a powerful gene evolution serum, her value to him would skyrocket.

“Yes, but the serums are all in the research facility, so we’ll have to go pick them up again,” Lin Zhiwei nodded.

“I mean, first tell me what effects and side effects your serum has. You’re not planning to use me as a lab rat, are you?”

Shen Yi stared at Lin Zhiwei.

“No. My gene serum has undergone many live experiments and has shown preliminary results.”

“Live experiments? Elaborate.”

“You’ve seen it: my mutant pet dog. It is a very successful test subject!”

Lin Zhiwei’s expression was earnest, and pride even sparkled in her eyes!

Shen Yi: “?”

You’re telling me that thing is a successful subject?

What about that creature is successful?

That damned thing is just a monster!

Wait!

So that monster was your doing!?

Shen Yi’s gaze toward Lin Zhiwei suddenly changed.

This woman was actually this dangerous?

At first Shen Yi had thought she was merely an unstable element, probably just interested in research.

Turns out she really did have the ability to create monsters!

Shen Yi recalled many sci-fi movies he had seen in which most disasters were caused by mad scientists like her.

That made him instinctively cautious.

“After evolving, my pet dog gained a Constitution stronger than during its first mutation, greater strength, and formidable regenerative power and vitality!”

“Right now, even if it were riddled by submachine-gun fire or blown apart by a grenade, it could heal completely in a very short time!”

“Don’t you want power like that?”

Sensing the change in Shen Yi’s expression, Lin Zhiwei launched into an impassioned speech.

Shen Yi fell into thought.

Indeed.

That mutant giant dog was far superior to ordinary mutated animals in both size and strength.

Its perverse vitality and healing ability were practically immortal.

Still, although he envied such powerful regeneration, what if injecting Lin Zhiwei’s serum turned his own body into a green monster?

Who the hell could accept that…

Shen Yi did not care much about appearance, but he could not let himself become a monster!

The current situation was not yet dire enough to risk everything!

“I have only two questions for you.”

Staring at Lin Zhiwei, Shen Yi spoke slowly: “First question. If I inject your gene serum, will my appearance become like that pet dog of yours?”

“Of course not!”

Lin Zhiwei answered immediately and stressed, “You’re a human; how could you turn into a dog?”

“However, if your genes are affected by Gene No.001, your appearance will undergo some minor changes… your body might enlarge and you could grow green hair shaped like leaves, and so on…”

“…”

Damn, she really was thorough!

Forcing down the urge to punch her, Shen Yi continued, “Second question. What is the success rate of your gene evolution serum?”

“At least 30%… no, at least 45% now!”

Lin Zhiwei spoke with absolute confidence.

As though that probability were very high.

Given the short time since the apocalypse began, achieving a 45% success rate was indeed not low.

But who was Shen Yi?

The king of caution!

Cautious to the extreme!

Without a 100% chance, he saw no need to gamble his life.

Still, the gene evolution serum had nonetheless aroused his keen interest.
