Invincible through Touching Corpses

Chapter 329: Three Days’ Time

Wei Tianxing had only been a little curious, but after hearing what Lin Xinghai said, his expression instantly grew serious.

"Your Special Physique... can it really continue to strengthen your body even after your Genetic Optimization Level reaches 99%?" Wei Tianxing quickly pressed.

As an expert in the Body Shaping Realm, he understood the importance of a solid foundation better than anyone.

He was currently stuck at the bottleneck of the Peak of the Body Shaping Realm. He was just one step away from entering the Divine Demon Realm, yet that single step was like an impassable chasm.

In his estimation, he would likely never be able to cross that gap in his lifetime. This was all because his foundation hadn’t been built solidly enough in the past.

If he tried to force a breakthrough, there would only be one outcome: his body would fail to withstand the immense power of the Divine Demon Realm, and he would explode and die.

Minor bottlenecks could be worn down over time or bypassed with other methods, but a breakthrough between major realms like this depended entirely on one’s own power.

Seeing Wei Tianxing’s solemn expression, Lin Xinghai felt a little uneasy. ’Did I say the wrong thing?’

But he still braced himself and nodded. "I think it’s possible, but the Blood Qi Power in the Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid isn’t pure enough. Forcing it would damage my body, so I want to try using the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid."

"Alright." Wei Tianxing didn’t press the matter. He understood that it was taboo to inquire about certain things, especially the secrets of one’s own cultivation.

He asked directly, "How much High Level Gene Medicine Liquid do you need?"

"A hundred or two hundred bottles to start. If that’s not enough, I’ll get more later," Lin Xinghai stated plainly.

Wei Tianxing had just picked up his teacup to take a sip and calm himself, but upon hearing Lin Xinghai’s words, he nearly dropped it.

"How... how many? A hundred or two hundred bottles?" Wei Tianxing’s eyes went wide.

"Uh... is there a problem?" Lin Xinghai asked, taken aback by Elder Wei’s strong reaction.

The Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps was now buying at least one or two thousand bottles of Intermediate Gene Medicine Liquid at a time.

’If I didn’t think it’d be too wasteful to give this High Level Gene Medicine Liquid to regular members, I would have probably asked for a thousand or two thousand bottles as well.’

"Of course there’s a problem! This High Level Gene Medicine Liquid exists, yes, but it’s still in the experimental stage. Only high-end laboratories in the major bases can prepare it, so it’s impossible to mass-produce."

"Just tell me honestly, how many do you actually need? I’ll see what I can do," Wei Tianxing said irritably.

"I’ve never used it, so I really don’t know! Just... get me as many as you can. I don’t mind spending more money," Lin Xinghai said. He hadn’t realized the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid was so rare.

"I’ve looked into this High Level Gene Medicine Liquid before. The purification process is extremely complex, and since it can only be prepared in a lab, it costs about 10,000 Points to make a single bottle."

"If you’re willing to pay 20,000 Points per bottle, I can pull some strings and call in a few favors. I should be able to get you 50 bottles. If you want more than that, you’ll probably have to wait for a while," Wei Tianxing said after some thought.

At 20,000 Points per bottle, 50 bottles would cost a staggering 1,000,000 Points. It was an absolutely astronomical price.

But Lin Xinghai didn’t hesitate for a second, agreeing on the spot.

He wasn’t short on Points at all. After the massive zombie horde erupted in Guanghan City, the number of Points in his account had already surpassed 5,000,000.

Factoring in the massive number of Points he had earned from continuously clearing out Zombies over the subsequent five days, his account balance had now reached a whopping 8,000,000.

Under these circumstances, spending a mere 1,000,000 Points was nothing. ’Even if it meant spending every last Point, it would be worth it as long as I can overcome my body’s shortcomings.’

Having settled things with Elder Wei, Lin Xinghai returned, feeling quite satisfied.

All he had to do now was wait for the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid to be delivered. Of course, according to Elder Wei, he would have to entrust someone at the East Sea Base with the purchase, so it would take at least three or four days to arrive.

Thus, the next few days were truly the most relaxing and leisurely days Lin Xinghai had experienced since he’d transmigrated into this world.

During the day, he would visit the two major mercenary corps when he was free, then come back to watch movies or train with Liu Miaomiao. At night, they would get up to... certain unmentionable activities.

To his regret, the facilities at the Shelter were still quite lacking. There were none of the essential dating spots, like shopping streets or movie theaters.

There were pitifully few restaurants to eat at; in just a few days, he and Liu Miaomiao had already tried nearly every single one in the Star Shield Shelter.

Of course, just because Lin Xinghai was idle didn’t mean everyone else was. Both the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps and the Mountain and Sea Mercenary Corps were busy recruiting new members and training intensely.

Per Lin Xinghai’s instructions, they were recruiting based on potential rather than current combat strength. As a result, nearly half of the new recruits were greenhorns, making training all the more crucial.

Even the veteran mercenaries with rich combat experience needed to train to build cohesion and avoid teamwork errors on the actual battlefield.

Besides recruiting, the two mercenary corps had also been making almost daily trips to the Military Department.

They were there for two reasons: one was to purchase military-grade equipment to modify their Mechas and Armored Vehicles, and the other was to commission custom-made weapons.

Almost every veteran member of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps had used their own Points to commission a custom weapon from the Military Department.

Liu Miaomiao was no exception. Of course, her Superpower already provided more than enough Attack Power, and agility was her most prominent attribute, so she didn’t commission a weapon.

After discussing it with Lin Xinghai, she ultimately commissioned a suit of the latest model Carbon Nanomaterial Combat Suit to drastically increase her survivability on the battlefield.

She also had a pair of custom War Boots made to increase her Speed, further boosting her chances of survival.

As for Lin Xinghai, in addition to getting a matching Carbon Nanomaterial Combat Suit, he had the Military Department custom-make a miniaturized version of the Mjolnir for him.

After all, through so many battles, he had grown accustomed to fighting with a spear.

The custom equipment commissioned by the veteran members of the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps filled the new recruits with envy, motivating them to train even harder.

Who wouldn’t want such exclusive gear? By going on missions with the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps, if they performed well, they might be able to save up enough Points for their own custom equipment after just a few missions.

The days passed, one by one. Lin Xinghai had originally planned to wait for the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid to arrive before heading to the branch base for his next mission.

But he never expected that on the evening of the third day, instead of the High Level Gene Medicine Liquid, he would receive a distress call from the branch base.
