Chapter 40: A Pause (2/2)

“I believe I have a decent ability to judge people, and even if she stole my car, the Bio-Scientific Institute’s resources would definitely retrieve it,” Shen Cheng finally relaxed after Shao Silin turned her head away and spoke.

At this moment, Shen Cheng didn’t mind much. Looking at the brace on his left arm, he estimated that he wouldn’t be able to drive for a while.

“You certainly know how to use your background,” Liu Su, sitting in the front passenger seat, snorted. After a brief pause, she awkwardly said, “Um… thanks for earlier.”

Shen Cheng was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected to see this softer, more feminine side of Liu Su.

“I… I’ll report your contribution truthfully! At that time, promoting you to an E-class Specialized Agent should be no problem!” Liu Su’s face flushed under Shen Cheng’s strange gaze. She quickly turned her head away and spoke so fast that Shen Cheng almost didn’t catch it.

“By the way, is there any obvious difference in benefits between different ranks of Specialized Agents?” Shen Cheng asked, recalling the attitude of the Lingshi City military district soldiers guarding Blue Shine Zoo towards him.

“An F-class Specialized Agent’s position in Solmara is equivalent to a second lieutenant, while E-class is equal to a first lieutenant, and the ranks progress accordingly. However, Specialized Agents only have command over headquarters soldiers when they are acting under specific orders from the Bio-Scientific Institute. In essence, they are like officers without troops, but they still enjoy the privileges that come with the title.”

Shao Silin’s explanation left Shen Cheng incredulous. “A Specialized Agent is just a glorified errand boy! And they can become officers?!”

“Do you even know how rare it is to become a Specialized Agent of the Bio-Scientific Institute?!” Shao Silin twitched at the corner of her mouth. “The selection process for Specialized Agents is extremely tough. Do you think everyone is as lucky as you?”

“Ahem…” Shen Cheng coughed awkwardly. Seeing that Shao Silin seemed to recall some painful memory, he turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window and said nothing more.

…

Using the night vision and agility granted by his cat Demi-Human Genetics, Shen Cheng silently entered the second floor of the Cat Café. After confirming everyone was asleep, he snuck back into his bedroom like a thief.

Lying on his bed and looking at the brace on his left arm, Shen Cheng smiled wryly.

How was he going to explain this to Huihui and the others? That he tripped?

Thinking about the match with Nana, Shen Cheng could only admit he barely won. His victory was largely due to Nana’s lack of real combat experience.

Unlike Nana, Shen Cheng’s grandfather had owned a martial arts gym, and he had trained a little with him in his youth. Unfortunately, he later neglected his training, and without regular exercise, what he had learned turned into mere flowery moves.

Now, thanks to the enhancements from his cat Demi-Human Genetics, Shen Cheng had begun to resemble his grandfather a little.

“I’m still lacking in strength…” Shen Cheng mused. Even though his Genetic Match Rate was 97%, the physical strength boost from the cat Demi-Human Genetics Agent was still limited.

However, this might have something to do with him as well. After all, the degree to which Demi-Human Genetic Agents enhanced the body depended heavily on the person’s physical condition. Without regular training, a high Genetic Compatibility Rate was pointless.

Shen Cheng secretly decided to dedicate some time every day to training his body.

Moreover, according to Yu Lan, after injecting the cat Demi-Human Genetics Agent, Shen Cheng might still retain his compatibility with other Demi-Humans’ Genetic Agents. By then, he could inject a second Demi-Human Genetic Agent!

Whether this potential could be realized or not would depend on the results of Shen Cheng’s check-up next week at the Bio-Scientific Institute.

If he could inject a second Demi-Human Genetic Agent, which Demi-Human would it be?

A dog Demi-Human? Or maybe a tiger Demi-Human?

As these exciting thoughts filled his mind, Shen Cheng’s consciousness gradually faded.
