I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Lan Feng had a habit of writing down his deeds into little stories and collect them in a folder for his own enjoyment.

Pei Jinye didn’t elaborate much, he simply mentioned that this was Lan Feng’s way of enjoying the mockery before a murder, and he took the initiative to share this information.

Within less than three minutes, Watermelon Head popped out again, “Well now, the stuff in this folder is almost related to the murder cases over the past two years. This guy is really audacious! Only 19 years old, and he’s already committed nineteen murders, including five helpless ordinary people!”

Ice Sister needed to access the case files of these murders to look for clues, so she told Pei Jinye to rest well for the next couple of days. She had already notified both his home and school, there was no need for him to go to school temporarily.

“Oh, by the way, Senior Sister Li Xiaoyin from the Bronze Association came to see me yesterday. She wanted me to pass a message to you, she said someone has been waiting for you.”

Ice Sister just gave a simple “Hmm” and turned to leave.

Pei Jinye looked hesitant.

Had Ice Sister really heard what he said just now?

Shortly after Ice Sister left, Watermelon Head emerged again from who knows where—more precisely, he was still trying to chat with Pei Jinye through the screen.

“What happened between you and Lan Feng in the final moment? If it’s inconvenient for you to talk about it, just mention it.”

“I don’t remember…”

Pei Jinye lay in the nutrition pod, his thoughts drifting far away. He couldn’t make out what Watermelon Head was saying anymore; his mind was flooded with everything that had happened a few hours ago!

He had devoured all of Lan Feng’s memories!

Including cultivation, the matters of the Old Gods Association, even the financial accounts!!!

This old geezer had once received a sum of one million from the Old Gods Association!!!

Mad, they’re really rich!

Pei Jinye suppressed the ripples in the depths of his heart.

He first drew up the attribute panel to observe the changes in himself.

——

[Name]: Pei Jinye;

[Extraordinary Genes]: Psychic·Spear (1/3) (Extraordinary Genes available for fusion: Psychic·Dream);

[Extraordinary Abilities]: Blood Spear; Retrogression;

[Vitality Value]: 3-4.5;

[Stamina]: 0.6-9.9 (average for ordinary people is 1)

[Skill]: Basic Breathing Method (minor achievement 12%); Blood Guiding Art (Beginner 81%); Dream Hypnosis (Beginner 1%);

——

Pei Jinye was shocked the moment he saw the attribute panel.

An extra Transcendent Gene has appeared…

This was clearly Lan Feng’s Transcendent Gene!

And it had actually been stripped and devoured by him!

This…he recalled that more than once, both Li Xiaoyin and Li Jun had mentioned that each person could only awaken one type of Transcendent Gene and there was no such thing as a Dual Series.

So… if the occurrences within him were to be exposed, it would undoubtedly cause a huge uproar.

“I mustn’t talk about it!”

“Absolutely not!”

The colder this world appeared to Pei Jinye, the more he understood that such a thing, once exposed, wouldn’t just be a simple matter of having potential; it would be a monster…

A monster capable of devouring other people’s Transcendent Genes; if word got out, his very existence would probably only be valuable for people to lock him up for research.

Pei Jinye took a deep breath to steady his emotions.

With a thought,

The two Transcendent Genes fused together.

The text in the [Extraordinary Genes] column changed: [Psychic·Shadow Spear].

The other values remained unchanged.

Pei Jinye let out a sigh of relief and quietly lay in the nutrition pod.

Because of the battle with Lan Feng, his Vitality Value had dropped significantly, and his Physical strength was not even worth mentioning.

If it hadn’t been for Ice Sister’s nutrition pod, he wouldn’t be able to recover this quickly now.

“I owe Ice Sister even more now.”

He began to study the abilities he now possessed.

[Retrogression], as the name suggests, restores the scenes around him within a small range back to their original state.

Through Lan Feng’s memories, Pei Jinye had understood how the latter had discovered him.

He rubbed his chin.

“Maybe I should become a detective after I graduate?”

As for the Dream Hypnosis skill… Pei Jinye was pleasantly surprised; he was keenly aware of how profound the feeling of being controlled was when Lan Feng had used it on him.

Of course, this Skill has a loophole.

The other party’s spiritual power must be weaker than one’s own, otherwise, there would be the outcome where the activator, Lan Feng, was counter-killed by Pei Jinye.

The Breathing Method and the Blood Guiding Art both had a slight increase, this was also thanks to the experience pack brought by Lan Feng.

Pei Jinye even felt that it was because he was too weak now to fully absorb the essence of Lan Feng’s memories, otherwise the surge in Proficiency would definitely not be limited to what was before his eyes.

All of a sudden, he was very much looking forward to the future.

But the next second, Pei Jinye woke up with a start.

What was he looking forward to… looking forward to… killing???

He didn’t feel any excitement after killing someone, although there was a bit of acceleration in his heartbeat, it didn’t seem to have a big impact.

“Could it be that I’m naturally a ‘Big Demon Head’ who kills without batting an eye?”

Pei Jinye shook his head and pushed away the distracting thoughts.

All he wanted to do was to live well, to become stronger while alive in this cruel and cold-hearted world…

…

“Have you thought about what to do next?” Watermelon Head interrupted Pei Jinye’s thoughts at this moment.

Pei Jinye subconsciously looked over, “Do you have any suggestions?”

Watermelon Head: “…”

He said in a faint voice, “You’re quite carefree.”

Then he began to patiently explain, “There are two paths now. First, keep this matter hidden forever, but secrets don’t stay hidden forever, Lan Feng’s sister Lan Hua has ties with Sky God International, and there are experts by her side, there is a seventy percent chance they will find you. By then, if you hide the facts and official involvement occurs, it will not be favorable to you…”

Pei Jinye looked at the screen, “And the second path?”

Watermelon Head spoke mysteriously, “Before Lan Hua makes a move against you, leak the information first, report Lan Feng for colluding with the Old Gods Association, let the officials get involved, and then have the backing of the Boss’s power from our side.”

Pei Jinye suddenly asked, diverging from the topic, “What exactly are your identities, you and Sister Bing?”

Watermelon Head hesitated, “…I dare not say.”

Pei Jinye: “???”

Watermelon Head said thoughtfully, “I am under orders from the Boss, what I can tell you is that we have some connections with the Military Department.”

“A secret squad to maintain world peace?” Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.

Watermelon Head was startled, then his expression suddenly brightened, “That’s the idea. By the way, you’ve awakened now, right? Maybe the Boss will absorb you into our ranks, and considering you’ve had a run-in with the Old Gods Association, starting with a kill like that, your battle record is impressive.”

Pei Jinye suddenly softened his tone, “By the way, is it possible to ask the Education Department to rush the Awakener reward?”

Without a second thought, Watermelon Head replied, “That’s not difficult at all.”

Pei Jinye asked curiously, “Don’t you need to go through an assessment?”

Watermelon Head tilted his head and said, “An assessment is indeed required, and we can’t get around that, but with the Boss as a guarantor, and we’ve all witnessed your awakening, we can issue the reward in advance. However, you must attend the assessment when the time comes; otherwise, it will cause trouble later on.”

Pei Jinye was taken aback with joy.

From his contact with the Education Department, he guessed that he would have to wait for the assessment to end before getting the hundred thousand in prize money, because it was impossible to determine potential standards.

However, he wanted to sort out the housing issue as soon as possible, to put his parents’ minds at ease.

Also, it would be a waste not to spend Lan Feng’s money!

It wasn’t his own, so why feel heartache over it!

…

Suddenly, Watermelon Head paused, “Wait, weren’t we discussing what to do next? Why did the topic shift to rewards? Have you decided what to do?”

Pei Jinye, not as flustered as one might expect, simply asked curiously, “Is your ability related to calculations?”

Watermelon Head didn’t hide it, “It’s similar to an artificial brain of some sort, but it hasn’t reached the level of the Star Ring yet.”

Pei Jinye nodded and said softly, “Based on your calculations, how long will it take for the Lan Family to discover what happened to Lan Feng?”

“Lan Feng calls his sister every day at five in the afternoon, which means after five, his sister will immediately activate her authority to track down Lan Feng’s whereabouts…”

Pei Jinye fell silent, not yet accustomed to Lan Feng’s memories…

“Does this fall under brother complex or sister complex?”

“Oh, I have another question. Is there a device in this world that can detect other people’s Extraordinary Abilities?” Pei Jinye asked seriously.

Watermelon Head tilted his head, “Are you talking about the Gene Detector?”

Pei Jinye raised an eyebrow.

Soon after, Watermelon Head sent over the relevant information.

Pei Jinye read through and breathed a sigh of relief.

The device could only detect what system one belongs to, not detailed down to what Ability one has, unless it’s demonstrated.

Pei Jinye thought that he could show whichever Ability he wanted.

Of course, in order to avoid any association with Lan Feng’s people, he mustn’t reveal his Extraordinary Abilities lightly…
