Rebirth: Super gene

"I finally made it" Bian rejoiced as he stepped into steel armor shelter. Wasting no time, he went to have a drink and bought a round for everyone present.

He asked for juicy gossip and heard that a few days ago a man named Xue Longyan came to the shelter from glory shelter. He was severely injured by the time he got here, he seems to have connections.

'Probably the guy Han Sen killed to get jadeskin' Bian thought to himself. Surely he couldn't just go kill someone, especially now that he was in the shelter.

Son of Heaven gained a powerful sacred blood shapeshifting beast soul of a centaur minotaur.

He then asked for where a weakling like himself can farm for ordinary geno points. He heard of a lot of places and got confused easily, he heard about a lot of locations and the creatures there. Luckily one dude wearing a top hat came to his rescue.

"By a stony creek in a valley, there are some ordinary black beetles there, very weak creatures. Perfect for a beginner"

Bian stood up and thanked the man. After getting directions from him he went to the stony creek valley.

The valley was abandoned as most people would team up and hunt better creatures, just like he did with Zing and Gyu, and then later with the wingsiders. Bian stayed there killing black-beetles while waiting for the sacred blood black beetle.

[Ordinary creature black beetle killed. No beast soul gained. Eat it to gain zero to ten ordinary geno points randomly]

Bian had already maxed out his ordinary geno points, he ate the beetles just to satiate his hunger. 'The beetle must have gotten out of the creek, but I didn't see any black beetles leaving the valley so it still has to be around here somewhere.'

After waiting for five days and nights Bian was getting drowsy and thinking of throwing in the towel, going to rest then coming back. The golden glow of the rising sun reflected in his eyes.

"It's too bright" Bian yawned then he froze when he looked clearly. Accompanying the rising sun was a golden beetle bigger than the rest of them, crawling towards an area away from him.

Bian summoned a blanket and threw it towards the golden beetle. It immediately shredded the blanket.

While it was occupied, Bian rushed over, held it down and cut into the fragile joints with the Z-steel dagger. He removed all six claws of the beetle.

It struggled and flipped over. Taking this opportunity, Bian pierced his dagger into the white mark on its belly but he didn't finish it off. Instead he put the clamp into the injury and opened it up.

The black beetle squirmed incessantly but after succeeding there was now a permanent hole in the belly of the golden black beetle. It would remain there for as long as the vice was there exposing Its fatal weakness.

He picked it up and put it into the cage, which was more of a cube. It only had a little space for oxygen but was made in a special way to be soundproofed from the inside. The thrashing and screeching of the golden black beetle couldn't be heard from the outside.

HAHAHA

Laughing like a madman, Bian began to jump for joy, unlike Han Sen, he wouldn't kill the beetle now. Rather he would kill it nine months later after it became a super creature. All or nothing, was the name of this move. He was so happy, he made a breakthrough in his vital point targeting, he can now use this skill in combat.

One main use of vital point targeting was to target the eyes of creatures. Piercing the eye felt disgusting but it was always a weakness of creature that can see.

He went back to steel amour sanctuary and began to contemplate his next move. He was surprised to find Xue Longyan speaking with Qin Xuan.

He had seen the pictures of Qin Xuan online and the guys at the bar gave him a very good description of Xue Longyan.

From the context of their speech Xue Longyan was enlisting the aid of the special forces to return to glory shelter.

Bian found his opportunity and knew he had to return with them. Otherwise he would have nowhere to safely place the cage. In the sanctuaries the safest place was the room only you could enter and Bian's room is in Glory shelter.

"Hey can I also tag along to glory shelter" he decided to be blunt and direct.

Both Qin Xuan and Xue Longyan checked him out but his strength was so weak they dismissed him. Surprisingly Xue Longyan said "Alright, even trash has its uses. After all the safest spot in a herd is the middle, as long as you're not scared of the dangers you can follow along".

Unlike the merchants who used a map from the Huangfu family, the special forces would send two members to escort Xue Longyan. He also hired some mercenaries to follow along, Bian could also follow but he would have to fend for himself in the event of a disaster.

"Thank you so much, big brother Xue" Bian began bootlicking, at least this way they wouldn't decide to just kill him during the journey.

Xue Longyan smiled and said to him "we leave at dawn" then he continued his conservation with Qin Xuan.

Bian excused himself and searched for the general market, he bought all the copper-toothed beast souls that were available. Using vital point targeting he would throw the spears from a distance. That way he wouldn't feel the sensation of piercing the juicy eye.

He stocked up on food and water, the cage secured at the bottom of his traveling bag. 'Since i have the money' Bian bought the meat of small primitive creatures like the swift mantis. As long as he can eat one-fourth of the rations he prepared, his primitive geno points would also be maxed out. At dawn he met up with Xue Longyan, a lot of people had gathered and this instantly gave Bian a bad feeling.

Why would Xue Longyan allow a bunch of freeloaders to travel with him. Bian came to this conclusion because most of the people there were weak, maybe even weaker than him. I just hope everything goes well

And so began the return journey to glory shelter. At that time no one could have guessed the ploy going on in Xue Longyan's mind.
