Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Perfect Fire Seed

I woke up feeling invigorated and ended up hugging something. My hand naturally found the most comfortable position, as if it had grabbed hold of something.

The thing felt comfortable to hold, soft and bouncy. One hand couldn’t control the entire situation.

Suddenly, I realized I wasn’t in my own bed. Remembering where I was, my body instantly stiffened.

I was jolted awake and quickly withdrew my hand, my eyes fixed on the graceful figure in front of me.

A white, simple dress outlined exquisite curves. It wasn’t exaggerated, but it was just right.

Her black hair scattered around, and I could only see her profile, with long eyelashes curled slightly upward and her fair cheeks marked by distinct lines.

Just a glimpse of her side profile gave me the naive, heart-fluttering feeling I had when I saw the beautiful girl next door in my youth; my heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up a bit.

Seeing that the beauty was still sleeping, not awakened, I couldn’t resist slightly raising myself and craning my neck to see her full appearance.

This was the first time I’d seen Bai Shenfei’s face, and just one look made me regretful.

I regretted falling asleep last night, regretted doing nothing at all.

That face brought back memories of first love, igniting that sudden heartbeat, as if I’d become years younger, back to the age of yearning for beauty.

Upon closer inspection, though Bai Shenfei’s features were delicate, taken separately, none were top-tier. But combined, her face was simply pleasant to behold, making one’s heart flutter no matter the angle.

Her aura was unlike any other beauty, easily distinguishable among countless others.

Even those who suffer from face blindness would probably find it hard to confuse her face with that of other beauties.

If we’re talking about extreme beauty, Xiaoye and Xiaona are truly perfect. Their features, figures, hair, and skin were flawless.

But their beauty was too perfect, lacking a human touch.

Bai Shenfei’s beauty, pure yet carrying a touch of human desire, could only be described as love at first sight.

Of course, another phrase could also be used, “lustful thoughts arise upon sight.”

“If I had seen this face yesterday, not even the Buddha could have stopped me from making a mistake,” I thought to myself, glad I hadn’t seen her face last night.

“Have you seen enough?” Bai Shenfei opened her eyes and looked at me coldly.

I immediately felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over my head, washing away much of the enchantment I felt a moment ago.

With her eyes now open, Bai Shenfei gave off a completely different aura, becoming aloof and unapproachable. It stifled any other thoughts. She was still beautiful, but in a way that seemed distant.

I rose awkwardly. Spying on a woman like this was a first for me; in the past, I’d always looked openly.

“Senior sister, you’re awake,” I said casually, trying to ease my embarrassment.

“My promise has been fulfilled. You can leave now,” Bai Shenfei said still lying there, her voice cold.

“Cough… Senior sister… then I’ll take my leave…” I didn’t know what else to say and promptly left the room.

Bai Shenfei’s cheeks were flushed red. She had not fallen asleep at all. Lin Shen’s sudden grab had blanked her mind, leaving her unsure how to respond for a moment. All she could do was pretend not to be woken up.

Hearing the sound of the front door opening from below, Bai Shenfei finally got out of bed, walked swiftly to the window, and peered through the slits of the Venetian blinds, watching Lin Shen leave.

“There’s no turning back now. I must carve out my own path,” Bai Shenfei relied on Lin Shen’s decisive action to cut off all her retreat and any other thoughts. No matter what lay ahead, she had no choice but to keep moving forward.

Even if the path ahead was strewn with thorns and brambles, she could only march on, bloodied.

She had agreed to Lin Shen’s request to cut off all other consideration and concentrate solely on forging her own way.

Lin Shen walked on his way home, his expression quite peculiar.

He had obtained the Fire Seed from Bai Shenfei’s body, but it seemed he had not completely acquired it.

[Perfect Super-Base Evolutionary Seed — Heaven Defying Bone: To me, fate is like a passing cloud; rebellious to the core, I defy the mortal dust. A complete Heaven Defying Bone can break many of the universe’s restrictions, free from the constraints of any cosmic laws and orders. Possessing Heaven Defying Bone, one gets the chance to evolve into the ultimate state of the Life Base, currently at 10% completeness.]

It was indeed powerful, this perfect Super-Base Evolutionary Seed was truly extraordinary, it could almost be described as invincible.

However, Lin Shen found that he could not use the power of this Seed. On closer inspection, he realized it was incomplete, at only 10%, with no way to use it.

“What does this 10% completeness mean? Does it mean I have to sleep with Bai Shenfei nine more times, or are there nine other humans with a Seed waiting for me to harvest?” Lin Shen was momentarily unable to fathom a guess.

Either scenario would be very difficult to achieve.

Lin Shen was now filled with regret. If he had known, he would have asked to sleep a few more times; now, finding an excuse to try again was impossible.

“Mr. Tian, why put me through such a struggle? Do you think I’m not tired enough?” Lin Shen felt frustrated.

Once at home, Lin Shen continued to consume Mutated Crystal Base Eggs, further digesting them to increase his Base Mutation rate.

For the foreseeable future, he had no plans to visit the Realm King Planet again. The buried Green Crystal Eggs would be safe from others for quite some time.

He himself couldn’t go get them; now that the whole world had seen those Green Crystal Eggs, if he tried to sell them in large quantities, anyone could guess his identity.

“It seems I can’t easily sell this batch of Green Crystal Eggs on the market. When Wei Wufu returns, I’ll ask if he has a channel to go through. If he handles it and gets them to Tiancheng, probably no one will be able to trace it back to me. I wonder if I could get a Primeval Egg for Ascension in exchange for this batch of Green Crystal Eggs?” Lin Shen planned to wait for Wei Wufu’s return to discuss it.

For several days, Lin Shen spent his time training and sleeping, with his Base Mutation rate steadily climbing.

Lin Shen estimated that even without those four red Crystal Base Mutation Eggs, he should be able to reach a 100% Base Mutation rate.

“What kind of pet will this deep red egg hatch into?” Lin Shen hesitated, wondering whether or not to hatch the special deep red egg.

Sometimes, such rare Base Mutation Eggs might be worth more unhatched than hatched, as many Mutators would want to use these top-tier items for Base Mutation.

The only pity was that he didn’t know what kind of Base Variant Creature would hatch from this egg, and which Innate Skills it would possess. He imagined it wouldn’t be much different from the Blue Crystal Warrior or the Purple Crystal Warrior series.

As Lin Shen was pondering, his hidden wristwatch suddenly began to vibrate.

“Why would the watch vibrate on its own? Could it be that strange person arriving?” Lin Shen was startled and quickly took out the watch, only to find a message had appeared on it.
