Chapter 50 Gene Lock
The dim, soft ambient lighting inside the room automatically and slowly illuminated, blocking out the outside sunlight and sea breeze, creating a tranquil and languid atmosphere.
He chose a Japanese anime movie he hadn't seen before and quietly sat down on the soft sofa.
Light and shadow danced and swirled on the dark curtain, accompanied by soothing background music. He completely cast aside all the complicated and trivial matters, such as cultivation breakthroughs, strengthening the main god, calculating combat power, and arranging his squad.
Immersed in the delicate and gentle story told through light and shadow, the tension in my nerves and mind from the past few days is completely relieved and relaxed.
As the music faded, the long film slowly came to an end, the light outside the window gradually dimmed, and the deep night enveloped the entire coastline.
Wang Qi got up from the sofa and walked slowly back to the master bedroom to wash up and rest.
During a moment of leisure, he inadvertently looked out the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows at the distant beach.
After finishing their water play near the sea, Zheng Zha and his group had already moved into one of the nearby seaside villas and settled down completely.
The beach was dotted with lights under the night sky, with warm yellow camping lights scattered around, and a charcoal fire roaring in the center, the scorching smoke mingling with the salty sea breeze.
The group sat around a long table, which was laden with fresh seafood, cured meats, and chilled liquor. The sizzling sound of charcoal grilling mingled with lively laughter and chatter, drifting on the evening breeze, creating a vibrant and bustling atmosphere.
Wang Qi stood at a distance by the window, calmly observing the lively scene, but had no intention of joining in. He maintained a perfect distance, quietly observing, indifferent, neither deliberately trying to please nor deliberately distancing himself.
……
Peaceful and leisurely times always pass in the blink of an eye, and I slept soundly through the night without any dreams.
As dawn broke the next day, the rising sun painted the sea red, and the clear morning light bathed the entire island.
Time slips by quietly, and it's already noon.
The blazing sun hung high in the sky, its dazzling rays spreading across the long, golden coastline.
Layer upon layer of waves repeatedly wash over the beach, and the salty, moist sea breeze blows against your face, carrying the unique heat and freshness of the seaside.
Wang Qi walked out of the villa alone, stepping onto the warm, soft sand. The sea breeze ruffled his clothes, and the leisurely and lazy expression of the previous night disappeared, replaced by a sudden and solemn aura.
He stood in the middle of the beach, and in a deep voice, summoned everyone to assemble.
Before long, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Li Xiaoyi, Zhang Jie, and everyone else's children arrived and stood in neat rows.
Once everyone had arrived, Wang Qi's gaze slowly swept over each person, his expression calm and serious, and he spoke solemnly:
"Next, I will officially announce the unified extreme training program for all staff over the next ninety days, as well as the complete phased reinforcement plan."
The moment the words were spoken, everyone's expressions tightened, and they unconsciously suppressed their laughter, their expressions becoming serious.
As soon as she finished speaking, several intelligent robots remotely controlled by the Red Queen walked steadily over, carrying two sealed alloy boxes and a multi-tiered bookcase filled with various ancient books and classics, which were neatly placed in front of everyone.
"From today onwards, including your individual efforts to create human beings, the entire team will embark on a comprehensive strength enhancement plan."
"The core of the first phase is to inject everyone with a modified version of the T-virus to temper their bodies and break through their shackles."
Wang Qi explained.
"Don't worry, there's no crisis. Everything has been improved. Even if the injection fails, you'll only be weak for a few days."
"My requirement is simple: over the next three months, everyone must forcefully break through and unlock the first-tier gene lock."
"Genetic lock?"
What is a genetic lock?
Zhang Jie took over the conversation.
He fulfilled his role as a guide, introducing the concept of gene lock to everyone.
……
"Since there is a first-order gene lock, are there second, third, and even fourth-order ones?"
Zheng Zha's pupils contracted slightly, and he blurted out a question instinctively, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt:
Wang Qi remained expressionless and nodded in response:
"That's right, both Tier 3 and Tier 4 gene locks are available."
"There really is one!"
Zheng Zha was utterly shocked, and the others also looked astonished. The physical enhancement and instinct awakening brought about by the first-stage gene lock alone were already incredibly powerful; it was hard to imagine how strong the subsequent realms would be.
Facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, Wang Qi slowly began to speak, meticulously dissecting the complete gene lock system:
"The genetic lock is divided into five major stages."
"First level: Revive the original combat instinct, break the natural limits of the human body, and greatly increase physical control, nerve reaction and limb control."
"Second stage: Completely unlocks all the potential power of the human body, comprehensively strengthens muscles, blood, nerves, and the five senses, can freely regulate the flow of energy in the body, and undergoes a comprehensive qualitative change in self-healing ability, physical resilience, and explosive power."
"Third stage: Deeply develop brain potential, simulate the thinking logic of others, and achieve a leapfrog improvement in memory, calculation ability, and thinking speed, while simultaneously awakening a sixth sense similar to danger prediction."
"The fourth stage represents a fundamental qualitative change at the level of life. It allows one to control their own gene sequence, autonomously optimize their physical condition, fully utilize all enhanced attributes, and possess nanometer-level micro-manipulation capabilities."
"As for the fifth rank, they transcend the mortal realm, control the source of energy, can interfere with and rewrite the rules of matter and energy operation, and possess extraordinary power that can destroy the world, almost like immortals and gods. It is said that this main god space was created by a fifth-rank powerhouse."
After the detailed explanation, the entire room fell silent.
Everyone was utterly shocked by the terrifying upper limit of the gene lock. It was hard to imagine how abnormal the power of a high-level gene lock was, if even a first-level one was enough to overturn mortals.
Wang Qi's gaze fell on Zhang Jie, whose expression was complex, and his tone was calm yet carried great weight:
"At the fourth advanced level, you can completely break free from the God's obliteration restrictions. Zhang Jie, the God is not omniscient and omnipotent, nor is he unsolvable. You are not destined to be bound, and you have every opportunity to break free from His control and shackles."
After speaking, he swept his gaze across the entire room, his tone suddenly becoming stern:
"I will provide you with everything: the virus, special training, techniques, and resources. All you need to do is follow the instructions and cultivate diligently."
"Whether you choose to grit your teeth and work hard to survive the next horror movie, or to be perfunctory, lazy, and wait for your doom to fall, is entirely up to you."
"In addition, all personnel will take NZT-48-1 enhancement drug daily."
He briefly introduced the potion's effects, duration, advantages, and disadvantages, highlighting its low exchange cost and powerful brain enhancement effect, while also not concealing the side effects and dependency associated with long-term use, leaving everyone to weigh the pros and cons themselves.
He gestured for everyone to look at the bookshelf and printed books on the side:
"In martial arts training and the introduction to Taoist arts, a solid foundation is paramount."
"Meridian points, martial arts principles, internal energy cultivation principles, and the foundations of Taoism are all indispensable. These fundamental classics, such as the *Taoist Canon*, the *Huangdi Neijing*, and the *Huangdi Waijing*, are the foundation for your cultivation of all advanced methods."
"The cost of exchanging the classics is extremely low, with the whole set costing only a little over a hundred reward points. However, the content is complex and obscure, requiring careful study."
"These printed books are all complete versions that the Red Queen has just compiled and printed."
"For the next thirty days, I will set aside one hour each morning to give a unified lecture to everyone on the basics of martial arts, meridian theory, and common sense of cultivation, to help you clear away any obstacles to getting started."
"Every morning, students follow the intelligent robots controlled by the Red Queen to systematically learn a full range of practical knowledge, including special operations, wilderness survival, basic combat, firearms proficiency, and the practical application of cold and hot weapons. Once they have mastered these skills, they can complete the phase assessment without having to repeat the training."
Every afternoon, everyone practices the Yang Shen system of martial arts and basic Taoist techniques.
Wang Qi pointed his finger, and several complete cultivation techniques appeared before everyone's eyes:
