Chapter 586: Everything Will Be Settled

As for the issue regarding if the genetic lock really existed and could be open…

In fact, after Mr. Fang got strengthened by the T-Virus, he found that his physical strength and reaction speed had greatly improved.

Even though these benefits were similar to those of the genetic lock, one couldn’t say that genetic locks existed and could be opened. One could only say that these benefits came from the T-Virus itself.

Mr. Fang didn’t know if the genetic lock could be opened or not, but he knew that he hadn’t figured it out yet.

However, regarding the question if people could unleash their potential during danger, there were many examples showing that people could indeed unleash great potential during dangerous situations and under great pressure.

While Helen began playing Resident Evil 2, Mr. Fang suddenly remembered his dream.

Instant Synchronization perhaps was going to be something that only he could use. If he mastered it, he might be able to possess the defense ability of Dante’s Royalguard Style when he was defending and the awakening skills of the Soul Bender and Grand Master when he was on the offense. He could save the precious synchronization time for the moments he wanted.

Could a person’s control of techniques and strength reach a granular level with ultimate precision?

The answer was positive.

If they kept working on their precision, they could achieve a realm that they wouldn’t have imagined.

The old players were talking in a group chat named ‘Super Railgun.’

Su Tianji said, [I feel like I have opened my level 1 genetic lock! After playing Resident Evil 2, my reaction speed and control have improved greatly. 😊]

Tang Yu said, [I think I’m going to open my level 1 lock after clearing this stage!]

Jiang Xiaoyue chimed in, [I think I have also opened my level 1 genetic lock!]

A big white deer added, [Hahaha! I think I’m going to open my genetic lock very soon!]

“…”

They all thought that they had opened or were going to open the genetic lock, and they even defined standards for different levels of genetic lock.

Nalan Hongwu said, [I think I’ve reached level 3!]

Su Tianji replied, [Pu!]

Jiang Xiaoyue added, [😱]

While reading the messages, Mr. Fang had the urge to crawl over through the cable and beat these people.

Meanwhile, Helen had died in the game more than a dozen times, getting killed by either Lickers or regular zombies in many ways.

She gaped at the screen while her character dodged the Licker’s attacks which were impossible to dodge for humans since it was beyond the reaction speed of humans. While controlling the strength in the body with great proficiency, she started to wonder…

Did I somehow open the genetic lock…?

How come I’m so powerful? Excited, she was eager to continue.

When she was about to study the genetic lock some more, she heard a noise.

Bang!

The noise of a hand slamming the desk startled Helen so much that she almost fell from her computer chair.

Then, an ordinary face leaned over with a harmless smile. “The shop is closing!”

“Okay… Okay…”

She ran out.

Revenge! It was blatant revenge!

“Ahhhh!” A figure waved her arms crazily only when she got outside the shop.

…

Regardless if the players could open the genetic lock or not, they had obtained tremendous improvement in their skills. In the later part of the game, the players could play as Chris and Ada and would thus encounter monsters much more difficult to deal with.

This game would leave them with many nightmares and countless excellent plays and operations.

Perhaps these cultivators and warriors would still remember some of the highlights in the game many years later.

– Meanwhile, on the other side of this world –

For the Flame Bird Family and the Thorn Flower Family, they were presented with a good opportunity to rise above the other families.

It was midnight, but the lights were bright in the conference room.

Sitting at the head of the conference table, the fat man with a big belly had more than ten badges pinned on his pure white army suit. As the speaker of the Flame Bird Family, his appearance didn’t show his high standing. The sparse hair on his head made him look a little ridiculous, but his squinted eyes and the glints occasionally flashing in them showed that he was a cunning man.

Sitting beside him was a middle-aged man wearing a formal black suit. His face was chiselled, and he looked like an elegant gentleman. His expression was always solemn and serious.

A detailed map was spread out on the desk. Each detail in each area of the Continent of Immortal Relics could be clearly seen on this map.

It was so detailed that it even included the information of the influential figures in each area and each nation.

“Any new intelligence?” the fat man asked.

“This is the most that we can get for now, Lord Alex.” The white-haired old man sitting beside him answered, “They have destroyed the portal. If we force our way in, they will discover us and intercept us.”

Alex, the fat, middle-aged man, frowned and said, “The fact that these natives could capture the Vanguard General and the others shows that those people are becoming more incompetent. On the other hand, it means that these natives have their own means, and we must be cautious with them.”

“It’s said that they have treasures left by the ancient immortals.” The middle-aged man with the chiseled face was the Thorn Flower Family Master. His brown curly hair and thin facial features made him look quite competent. He drew a circle around the area of Heavenly Abyss Sea on the map with his finger and said, “We are on the offense, and they are on the defense. These damn natives will set a great trap here since this is the most vulnerable spot and thus their key defense spot. Damn it. I think we should give up on this place.”

“Then, we’ll be at the disadvantage, Lord Raine.”

“But we have no choice. The elites of our Thorn Flower aren’t a part of the suicide squad; they shouldn’t be sent here to die,” Raine said, “We need nothing but a glorious victory! I can’t imagine how they will look at us if other outcomes take place!”

“Then, what’s your plan, my lord?”

“We will enter through this and this area.” Raine pointed at the borders of the Ultimate West Realm and the Deserted Sea Realm. “According to the intelligence that we gained, these two places are most vulnerable with the weakest strengths. We will catch them off guard by attacking these places. With minimal losses, we can establish a base in this damn barbaric world and then send more troops into this area to take…”

He pointed at the area around the Heavenly Abyss Sea. “We’ll take this place in one battle. When we descend onto this land, everything will be settled!”
