Chapter 21 - A Strange Man Buying Drugs
Chuchu played with her phone for half the night before she unknowingly fell asleep.
Qin Feng, on the other hand, trained throughout the entire night, seizing every second to break through and become an Elementalist.
That night of cultivation proved fruitful for him.
Early in the morning, he pulled out his training template to check his progress.
Cultivator: Qin Feng
Wind Element Level: Quasi-Elementalist (God Seal completion: 52%)
Thunder Element Level: Quasi-Elementalist (God Seal completion: 41%)
Ice Element Level: Quasi-Elementalist (God Seal completion: 60.5%)
Talent Skill: God-level Devouring
Combat Skill: Berserk Strike
Combat Power Index: 700 points
After a night’s training, the God Seal completion rate of his Wind and Thunder elements both increased by 11%.
The Ice element, being slightly less talented, only improved by 0.5%. Yet, this pace was already incredibly fast.
Take Lin Tianyang, for instance, known as the number one prodigy of the younger generation. He also had an Ice element talent, though only at an excellent level. After a night of training, a 0.05% increase in the God Seal completion would be considered good progress, making him incomparable to Qin Feng.
Thus, Qin Feng was very satisfied with his progress.
At this speed, he would break through and become an Elementalist with his Wind element in just five days.
An hour later, the siblings had both finished freshening up.
Qin Feng started making breakfast, while Chuchu was busy cleaning the house.
There’s an old saying: When good things happen, spirits rise.*
[*This idiom means when good things happen, people feel joyful and invigorated]
This morning, Chuchu was in particularly high spirits, humming a tune while mopping the floor.
“Chuchu, after breakfast, we’ll head into the city and buy you some gear. Tomorrow, we have to carry out the patrol mission.”
“All right!” Chuchu responded cheerfully.
She had long dreamed of this day.
This was an era where every girl admired martial prowess. You could say it was a time of ‘loving armor over fancy dresses’*.
[*This phrase describes an era where women prefer martial strength and weaponry over traditional makeup and beauty.]
“Brother, you’re a Privileged Citizen. As long as you show your status, you won’t have to participate in the patrol mission.”
“Little girl, I’m going with you on this mission to protect you!”
“Brother, you’ve already said I’m stronger than a Quasi-Elementalist now. What is there to be afraid of? Even if we encounter a fierce beast, I won’t be scared.”
“Besides, we’re patrolling near the city. Fierce beasts are rarely encountered, and demonic beasts are even less likely to appear. There’s no real danger.”
The little girl was full of bravado now. With a bit of strength, she had started to feel overconfident.
“Little girl, what do you know? You may have combat power, but you lack fighting experience. How can your brother feel at ease?” Qin Feng lightly knocked her on the head, annoyed.
“Oh!”
Chuchu stuck out her adorable little tongue, feeling happy inside. Her big brother truly cared for her.
“Hurry up and finish mopping so we can eat together.” Qin Feng said with a slight shake of his head, ladling out two bowls of porridge that he had just finished making.
What he said was true. While Chuchu now had some combat power, her fighting skills were lacking and still needed honing.
However, he could teach Chuchu in this regard. After all, he had divine-level combat experience passed down by the system.
Of course, even without much combat experience, given her current strength, even a Level 4 Fierce Beast wouldn’t be able to harm her.
Now, Qin Feng wasn’t worried about the fierce beasts but rather Lin Xuyang.
In the original world on Earth, tomorrow was the day Lin Xuyang would run Chuchu over with his car. Perhaps in this world, tomorrow would be the day Lin Xuyang made his move against Chuchu.
Therefore, Qin Feng needed to stay by her side at all times. He also needed to make more preparations.
After breakfast, the siblings hailed a car and headed downtown to go shopping.
Qin Feng first bought Chuchu a few pretty dresses.
The little girl changed into her new clothes, looking like a little princess, attracting many admiring glances.
Chuchu was delighted, twirling around several times in front of Qin Feng and asking if she looked good.
After purchasing some daily necessities, Qin Feng also bought some thermal weapons.
Next, they went to a large armory store and bought two sets of beast armor.
This beast armor covered over 70% of the body, was finely crafted, and had a cool and imposing appearance with many intricate decorations.
It was made from the hides of one-star demonic beasts, boasting high defensive capabilities that could withstand the attacks of Level 4 fierce beasts and even partially block attacks from one-star demonic beasts.
Both Qin Feng and Chuchu were quite fond of them.
However, the two sets were not cheap—230,000 Tong coins for both, a price that most Genetic Warriors couldn’t afford. Many Genetic Warriors would usually wear alloy armor instead.
Those alloy armors not only lacked the defensive power of beast armor but were also extremely bulky, hindering speed.
Afterward, the two of them headed to a high-end weapons shop.
Chuchu picked out a ladies’ longsword. The hilt was inlaid with jade, and the blade was made of titanium-manganese alloy, capable of penetrating a one-star demonic beast’s defense.
It was both beautiful and powerful, costing 1 million Tong coins.
After this shopping spree, Qin Feng only had around 2 million Tong coins left.
Qin Feng thought it was worth it.
With the armor and weapons, their overall strength increased significantly. At least against anything below a demonic beast, there was little that could harm Chuchu.
The two continued to stroll through the city.
Soon, they reached the entrance of a large gene pharmacy.
Many people were coming and going—Genetic Warriors as well as ordinary people—the place was bustling with activity.
Some were holding newly purchased gene serums, while others had test reports in hand.
“Brother, should we go in and take a look?” Chuchu was intrigued by the gene pharmacy.
“Let’s go!” Qin Feng was also a bit interested.
They entered the pharmacy.
The store was elegantly decorated, brightly lit, and the floor tiles were so polished that they reflected people’s appearances clearly.
The surroundings were very high-end, with various exquisite large ornaments displayed.
“Hello, sir! Welcome to our store!” A pretty female sales assistant approached them with a smile.
She glanced at Qin Feng and her eyes instantly lit up.
Wow! This young man is too handsome!
His fair and delicate facial features, combined with a warm and jade-like demeanor, made him very pleasant to look at, stirring a sense of attraction in her.
The sales assistant was clearly amazed by Qin Feng’s appearance, as if he were radiating a light that illuminated the entire hall.
Qin Feng was indeed very handsome.
After training for some time, his aura had become even more outstanding, increasing his turn-head rate.
Many women in the hall also noticed Qin Feng and looked at him with admiration.
“Wow! That little girl is also so pretty!”
Many people also saw Chuchu and marveled.
This pair of siblings had strikingly good looks, attracting attention wherever they went.
“Sir, are you here to purchase gene serums? Our store is the only gene pharmacy in Yunyang City, with over a hundred years of history. Our product quality is guaranteed, and we have always upheld our reputation.”
The beautiful sales assistant professionally introduced the store.
Qin Feng glanced at her and noticed she was a Level 1 Genetic Warrior, with delicate features and an excellent figure, curvaceous in all the right places—a standard beauty.
It seemed this pharmacy had strong backing if even their sales assistants were female Genetic Warriors.
“I’m just looking around,” Qin Feng casually said.
“Sir, let me give you a tour and introduce you to some of our latest products. These new items have a success rate of over 82%, making them some of the best in the industry.”
The beautiful sales assistant smiled sweetly, clearly very interested in Qin Feng.
“All right, let’s take a look!” Qin Feng nodded indifferently.
But just then, an angry shout came from the crowd ahead.
“Why?! Why won’t you sell it to me?! The market price for a Level 1 gene serum is 1.5 million, I’m offering 7.5 million, and you still won’t sell it. What’s the meaning of this?!”
The shout startled everyone.
Qin Feng turned towards the sound.
In the crowd, he saw a handsome young man, his face flushed with rage…
