Chapter 32: Train Your Abilities!
Invisibility is an extremely rare ability in the genetic evolution sequence. Every powerful invisible genetic evolver is the trump card of major factions.
In a highly technologically advanced society, most gene evolutionists must rely on high-tech to counter high-tech. Unless they are top-tier gene evolutionists, most cannot single-handedly confront mechs, aerial combat aircraft, let alone missiles, high-frequency laser guns, or orbital laser cannons.
Even technology capable of obliterating a planet would render gene evolutionists helpless unless they possessed special abilities.
Invisibility is undoubtedly one such special ability. In history, a massive corporation was brought down by a single invisible gene evolutionist who infiltrated the company's core laboratory, sabotaged facilities, stole data, and leaked information, leading to the company's collapse.
That's why, as a captain and a gene-enhanced individual with A-level intelligence, he reacted so strongly.
"Yes, Captain, we passed the test, and the few intact mouse corpses we found all possessed the ability to become invisible. As for the probability of this special genetic evolution being inherited and the success rate of the manufactured serum, we dare not continue the experiments. According to regulations, we must have Alliance SS-level supervision to proceed with further tests." The person nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, the captain immediately nodded: "I will report this immediately."
Immediately afterward, the warship began to depart from its original position. Since A-class stealth materials must ensure independence and safety, the warship departed from the spaceport. From this point onward, until the Alliance's SS-level supervisors arrived, not a single hair on the warship was allowed to escape. The warship activated its wartime system, and any unauthorized aircraft approaching would be destroyed.
Yang Bo had already started work by this time. The chaotic exhibition hall during the day had transformed by night, adorned with various posters and large text.
First, he cleared away the large pieces of trash on the ground, then pushed the vacuum cleaner around. After finishing the work, Yang Bo carefully inspected the area and discovered it was an exhibition hall for battle mecha.
"That doesn't make sense. Mecha companies are all big corporations. Why such a small exhibition hall?" Yang Bo felt a bit suspicious.
After finishing the work and tidying up, he retrieved his wristwatch from the duty officer, returned the access card, and went home.
It wasn't yet dawn, but the streets were brightly lit. It was clear that these were high-end communities—dark and mysterious, definitely high-end communities. The well-lit ones were basically the kind Yang Bo used to live in.
He returned to the community to retrieve the charged batteries. Regardless of the battery size, each charge cost fifty credit points. Electricity was extremely cheap in this world.
Back home, after washing up, Yang Bo felt a tingling excitement. A huge sum of money—it was time to buy a house!
"I won't log into the game for now. I'll familiarize myself with the abilities I have first." Yang Bo opened the internet but didn't enter the game; instead, he went to the game forum.
"Money-grabbing." Yang Bo had intended to check the game forum for information on mutated beasts and mutants, which are typically available on such forums, but upon opening it, he found that everything required game currency.
"D-rank Swamp Poison Crocodile data: 50,000 gold coins."
"C-rank Ice Rat data: 100,000 gold coins."
"B-rank Venomous Anaconda data, one million gold coins."
Yang Bo took a look and sucked in a breath of cold air. The prices of the data varied depending on the rank.
There were no A-rank or S-rank data. In fact, no one knew if S-rank even existed, as it had never been heard of before.
"Forget it, don't even think about making a penny off me. My target is small animals." Yang Bo muttered to himself. Even if an A-class creature only gave a few points, a small animal would at least give a little. Yang Bo was well aware of the risk-reward ratio.
Then Yang Bo's face turned green. "Bird Slayer?" This must be referring to me?
On the forum, a group of people criticized him for brutally killing small animals, calling him a loser in real life. Animal protection organizations were offering a reward of five million game coins for information about his identity.
Some people said they couldn't add Bird Slayer as a friend...
Others said he deserved it for being beaten twice, calling it karma.
Yang Bo shrank his neck, feeling a chill down his spine for no reason.
"No, this identity must be kept secret," Yang Bo muttered to himself.
Then Yang Bo felt relieved. In this mecha game, all the players were genetically enhanced individuals, and most of them had mecha licenses to enter the game. Otherwise, they wouldn't pass the game's assessments. The original owner had wanted to enter the game before but couldn't, so of course the official wouldn't say residents weren't allowed to enter the game.
Such discriminatory regulations violate the law. It's like in America, where many people look down on people of color, but they won't say it. Instead, they hypocritically shout about equality, urging people of color to vote for them, and maybe even secretly calling those who voted for them idiots behind their backs.
Therefore, the game company adopted an anonymous system to avoid being discovered that only a certain group could enter the game. Now that it's anonymous, the game company can shirk responsibility, claiming they have no control over the data because it's anonymous…
"I'm a good resident. I don't know this 'Bird Slayer Guy' at all." Yang Bo closed the game forum and opened Li Aiduo's concert.
"This little kid has a pretty lively face," Yang Bo muttered to himself as he looked at Li Aiduo's virtual image.
Next, Yang Bo looked at the specific activities and found that many companies were participating this time.
There were companies selling anti-aging gene serums, clothing, jewelry, and luxury goods. Looking at these luxury items priced like a house, Yang Bo felt they were as useless as the trash bags he used.
High-tech companies offered smartwatches, anti-gravity skateboards, anti-gravity cars, and mechs.
There were five mecha companies, two of which manufactured mecha, and three of which modified them. The exhibition hall Yang Bo was in charge of was called the Dimension Mecha Modification Company, ranked in the top three in the alliance.
It was said that there would be a major announcement this time, and the stock price had already risen.
"Let's take a good look then." Yang Bo didn't notice what mecha the other party had announced they would exhibit.
After leaving the forum, Yang Bo began training his abilities, purchasing a large number of toy figurines made from various materials.
The room echoed with the sound of snapping fingers, one after another. The figurines cracked and cracked.
After two hours of training, he ate and went to sleep.
When he woke up, it was already past 4 PM. Yang Bo stood in the bathroom, training his muscle camouflage ability... He touched his unusually large pectoral muscles and felt something was off; the texture didn't feel right.
Currently, the camouflage could only alter muscles, while bones could only be slightly adjusted.
This was insufficient to deceive some smart devices, as they could scan one's bones and even the unique biological waves emitted by an individual.
It was quite complex, and since Yang Bo had not implanted a chip, he could not know all the technology of this world, only some of it.
Yang Bo primarily trained his camouflage speed, and after completing the training, he recharged the energy he had consumed.
In the evening, he arrived at the exhibition hall and found a mecha standing there. A large alloy plate was laid on the ground, and an eight-meter-tall mecha was there.
"What a crappy company, using a third-generation mecha to fill the gap." Yang Bo looked at the familiar mecha—it was the same as the Blade Mecha he used in the game. It was like attending a grand car exhibition and showing up in a tractor.
