Zheng Cheng quickly said, “These special food ingredients I found from Professionists of The Inferior Tribe on the Radiation Island, every single bit of it carries a one in ten thousand chance of mutating your body.”
“I was originally planning to elevate your physique and spirit above 100 points so as to immunize you against the mutations. But ingredients that can improve the spirit attributes are really scarce…”
“Damn it!” Chen Xiao spontaneously blurted out, “Am I really that ill-favored?”
Zheng Cheng sighed, “I’m sorry, Brother. I originally just wanted to enhance your strength. I didn’t expect that you’d still be hit with a one in ten thousand chance of mutation.”
Chen Xiao didn’t seem to mind, “Brother Cheng, what kind of mutation would occur in my body?”
“I have no idea.” Zheng Cheng shook his head wryly, “You might grow a second head?”
“Damn it!”
“Tails out of your buttocks?”
“Oh shit!”
“Wings from your waist?”
“What the hell!” Chen Xiao instantly panicked, “What else, what else?”
“As long as it enhances my strength, I can take some minor mutations, like if my pecker grows an extra five to eight centimetres, that would be great. But if I grow a second head or third testicle… fuck, I’d rather off myself!”
Zheng Cheng also hesitated, “Don’t worry, your physique is a solid 132, even if you mutate, it’s unlikely you’ll grow a second head.”
“In The Inferior Tribe, two headed Inferiors are considered nobles. You can’t get such easy upgrades.”
“Oh yes! I have a method that can temporarily enhance your spirit and resistance. Once your spirit and resistance are up, you can resist these mutations!”
As he said so, he pulled out his Flower Scepter and pointed it at Chen Xiao.
Adrenaline Excitement Technique!
“Buzz…”
“Buzz!”
With two uncanny buzzes, two Adrenaline Excitement Techniques hit Chen Xiao one after the other.
“Perfect!”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes sparkled, the flowers flying in all directions!
The one in a hundred chance of a double casting effect occurred at this moment.
That is to say, two Adrenaline Excitement Techniques were cast on Chen Xiao in succession.
Chen was now crimson all over his body, with heat emitting from it.
His eyes were wide opened in rage, his pupils expanded, and his breathing speeding up as if there was endless jolt of energy in his body.
“Brother Cheng…..”
Chen Xiao gritted his teeth, “I feel like I’m going to explode. I want to rip your room apart…”
Zheng Cheng was in a laugh and cry situation, “You better not! I only have this one suite. I saved up a lot just to afford it, please don’t…”
“Huff…”
While speaking, Chen Xiao took a long breath, with an obvious steam blowing out.
“Come out then,” Zheng Cheng quickly ordered, “There aren’t many people outside the apartment complex right now. Use your full strength and spar with me!”
“Otherwise, I am really afraid you’ll die from an explosion.”
“Alright!”
The two arrived at an open space outside the apartment. As soon as they got there, Chen Xiao was too eager to wait and rushed over, throwing a punch at Zheng Cheng.
“Brother Cheng! Watch out!”
The two figures fiercely collided. They traded punches and kicks, and began their intense sparring.
But after all, both of them were lucid, so they took care when attacking each other. They exerted their strength against each other’s backs, arms and legs only.
For a while, the ‘boom boom boom’ of punching sounds echoed continuously, making it incredibly clear in the quiet night.
As time went on, Chen Xiao’s momentum grew stronger and with each growling roar, his punches became even faster.
“Chen…Brother Cheng! Get out of the way quickly!”
“No problem, come on!”
Handling Chen Xiao’s torrential attacks, Zheng Cheng easily took them all!
But by the end, Zheng Cheng’s face also changed.
Chen Xiao’s punches were getting heavier and heavier!
More than that, he was even able to feel an uncanny counter force, as if his fist was hitting a piece of steel!
Ten minutes later, the effect of Adrenaline Excitement Technique ended.
Chen Xiao completely collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.
In the nearby flowerbed and apartment building, many people were pointing fingers and shooting videos with their smartphones.
And some spectators who loved to join in the fun, were making a racket.
“Well fought! Have another round!”
“There’s Zheng Cheng, you’re pretty tough, huh…”
“Zheng Cheng! I’m uploading a video of you on the internet, and if there are any profits, I will split half with you, hehehe….”
Neighbors in the surrounding area were familiar with Zheng Cheng and many were joking with him.
Zheng Cheng also responded to a few, and hurriedly helped Chen Xiao back to the room.
It seems that he’ll have to change places.
Living together with normal people as a Professionist is indeed inconvenient.
However, he has to move to Beijing soon.
By then, he would surely live in a school, and that would be much more convenient.
After dumping Chen Xiao on the sofa, Zheng Cheng asked with concern, “Chen Xiao, how are you feeling?”
“It feels like my body is hollow…”
Chen Xiao lay on the sofa like a dead pig, mumbling, “Brother Cheng, do I have a second head?”
“No.”
“Three testicles?”
“No?”
“Have I grown a tail?”
“Would you like to take off your pants for me to see?”
“Damn it…”
Chen Xiao struggled to get up, hesitated and said, “Why do I still feel hot all over, especially my hands… Damn!”
While speaking, Chen Xiao suddenly cursed under his breath.
His normally flesh-tone hands had unexpectedly turned completely black.
Upon closer inspection, a pattern like scales had grown on them.
“What…What’s happened to my hands?”
“Brother Cheng, I…”
Zheng Cheng quickly pulled off Chen’s clothes and saw that Chen Xiao’s arms had also turned black.
The color faded as it approached the shoulder, where it was hardly noticeable.
Layer upon layer of faint fish scale-like patterns appeared before their eyes.
“This…” Chen Xiao’s eyes widened: “Damn, muscular arms?”
He tried to clench his fist and felt an immense power.
Zheng Cheng asked, “How does it feel?”
“Powerful…” Chen Xiao hesitated: “I feel as though my fist contains immense strength, and my defense has also greatly increased.”
“Quickly check your personal attribute panel.”
“Alright!”
Chen Xiao immediately plunged his consciousness into his psyche, and began to inspect it.
A few seconds later, his eyes lit up abruptly.
“Damn! Brother Cheng, my four-dimensional attributes have increased a lot, thanks to those special ingredients from the Inferior Tribe.”
“I also gained a mutant ability called ‘Flesh Scale Armor’!”
“For every level increase, I gain 2 extra strength points, and my defense power will considerably increase.”
“Once this Flesh Scale Armor covers my entire body, my defense will be unrivaled!”
Chen Xiao excitedly exclaimed, “Jackpot! Hahaha, Brother Cheng! I owe you big time!”
Zheng Cheng also heaved a sigh of relief: “I’m glad you gained a useful mutant ability. If it caused some other bizarre bodily changes, I would feel terrible.”
“And with each level increase adding 2 points of strength? That means, each time you level up, you gain 7 points in total attributes? That’s just like a seven-star Professionist, right?”
“We are brothers, so what’s there to fear!”
Chen Xiao said without concern. As he spread out his hands, the black scales on his arms quickly dissipated and returned normal.
If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t even notice it.
“Yeah, an passive increase of 2 points in strength, that’s just too good… ”
“Now, I’m truly an indestructible cockroach!”
“Flesh Scale Armor, huh…”
Zheng Cheng recalled the Inferiors on Radiation Island, covered in scales and defeated by his sword, and nodded secretly.
It’s fortunate that the mutation resulted in Flesh Scale Armor, if it were something else…
Picturing Chen Xiao with two heads running towards him, Zheng Cheng felt his body go numb.
Chen Xiao suddenly stood up and walked towards the kitchen: “Right, Brother Cheng, what happened to the remaining special ingredients?”
“What are you planning to do?”
“Of course, finish them, can’t waste.”
“Damn… Are you sure you want to eat them?”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ve already mutated, what’s another louse!”
After saying this, Chen Xiao swept away the remaining Inferior’s tentacles, hearts and other special foods like a whirlwind.
His four-dimensional attributes rocketed once again!
While eating and drinking, the two chatted about future universities, military schools, and the alien battlefield.
After the night fell, Chen Xiao simply spent the night at Zheng Cheng’s place.
Early the next morning, Zheng Cheng and Cai Ji arrived at the station to see Chen Xiao onto the train heading to the Northwest Military Academy.
Watching the train gradually leave the station, both of them looked a bit gloomy.
Now, one of the iron triangle was gone, leaving only the two of them.
“Come on! Chen Xiao is just going to school, not leaving forever.”
Zheng Cheng slapped Cai Ji on the shoulder: “Let’s go, we’ve still got to report to the Night Watchmen!”
Cai Ji also changed his expression and said, “Brother Cheng, what do you think Captain Yunxiao wants us to do?”
“How would I know?” Zheng Cheng said: “We’ll find out when we get there. Anyway, it’s all a chance to gain experience and knowledge.”
The two arrived at the Night Watchmen’s base and under Zhao Yunxiao’s leadership, they began handling various tasks within the base.
Seven days later, Zheng Cheng and Cai Ji both received the admission letter from Beijing Advanced Occupation University.
“Damn!”
Upon receiving the admission letter, Cai Ji’s eyes widened: “I’ve been admitted too, what’s happening?”
Zhao Yunxiao laughed: “Very simple, you were admitted under the special recruitment for ‘unique Professionists’.”
“Every year, Beijing Advanced Occupation University will specially recruit some first-of-their-kind Professionists. Regardless of their level, they all get admitted.”
Cai Ji immediately wilted: “So, it was the special admission. I thought…”
“Enough! Get back to the mission.” Zheng Cheng gave him a pat: “Regardless, we’re going to be at the same school again.”
“By the way, Sister Yunxiao, where is Zhixue?”
“She’s also been admitted, and she’ll be back soon.”
“Did she complete her breakthrough mission?”
“Yes.”
“Where did she go?”
“The Arctic Tundra.”
“That far?”
“Yes, most of her breakthrough missions are somehow related to that area.” Zhao Yunxiao nodded: “Let’s go, there’s a mission to carry out…”
“What’s the mission today?”
“We received an internal report that traces of the Dawn Organization had been found in Wehua City. We’re going to investigate,” Zhao Yunxiao said: “With your tracking skills, these Fallen Ones won’t be able to hide.”
“Understood.”
