Chapter 551: Together We Grow

“What? A monster? Not a human! And it could speak human language? And it fights with some sort of human true energy?”

In the quiet research hall, Lin Liqiang’s astonished voice was so loud that it could tear the entire ceiling apart. Enzo Rota’s cold face, which usually looked like being frozen, was as surprised as Lin Liqiang.

As humanity approached the space era, various mutated creatures emerged endlessly. It was not surprising to come across mutated creatures that had strength comparable to a fifteen-star martial dao master. After all, there were many mutated creatures that had not been discovered, and mutants were still evolving over time.

However, no matter what kind of mutated creatures they were, they were just seen as another kind of mutated animals by scientists all over the world. Just like lions and tigers, they might be very fierce and cruel and even had a certain level of intelligence, but their intelligence was almost negligibly low.

Language was to important human beings; it symbolized our position as the apex-level intelligent creature. Over the years, there had been no mutated creatures that could speak human language, let alone set traps with new energy and new metals to lure humans who went to explore. And it could even use human martial arts and true energy. It was arguably another existence which could also be the apex-level intelligent creature.

“An alien?” Lin Liqiang shook his head repeatedly, “I admit that there are probably other creatures in the universe, but I can’t accept that there are aliens coming into our society now. You know, even with today’s technology, we are still unable to enter the real space voyaging era. Our various observation instruments had never discovered any living objects in the known galaxies through the detectors. If there are really aliens coming to us, how many times better are their technologies than ours?”

Lin Liqiang gently drummed his fingers on the table, and he was guessing with a very serious expression, “According to Old Qin’s introduction, this creature is obviously not a kind fellow. With that, if it has the technology that is many times better than us humans, it should have a martial strength that could pose a threat to us, right? Why didn’t it use it? Why don’t they come over? According to Qin Fen, Chen Zhi once said that it seemed to want to go back? Where did it want to go back to?”

Qin Fen couldn’t answer any of Lin Liqiang’s speculation. He nodded in agreement. If it was really an alien and it was aggressive, why would it come to this planet since it had the ability to come here?

“This is…” Qin Fen took out a piece of bloody flesh with the size of a fist from the nano battle suit’s pocket and said, “I secretly hid some of its tissue.”

Lin Liqiang’s and Enzo Rota’s eyes suddenly lit up. This weird creature’s tissue had a high research value; it was especially worth researching why the insect warrior Lan Caihe was close to that monster, perhaps there would be new discoveries.

“What about the others?” Lin Liqiang looked at Qin Fen eagerly, “Old Qin, I don’t mean to nag you. When you face this kind of creature that has a high value in research, you should be gentle! Be gentle on them! It’s best if you could catch it alive, you should have just disabled it. You should have at least kept more of its tissues, did you smash all of it with your punch? It’s such a waste. I’ll have to sternly criticize you for your wasteful behavior.”

Enzo Rota nodded at the side in agreement with a serious face. It was hard for them to accept that they were left with such a tiny bit of research material.

Qin Fen sighed helplessly, “It was Du Zhanpeng who cut it, he took away all other tissue. I saw that they were very nervous about its body, I guessed they wouldn’t give it to me even if I asked for it. So… I’ve snuck this one for you guys.”

Lin Liqiang gave an ‘oh’ and didn’t say anything after that. On a first-come, first-served basis, Du Zhanpeng killed that monster so naturally, its body belonged to him, unless Qin Fen intended to be a robber and snatch away the body. The only thing he could do was to temporarily steal a piece of it.

“It’s better than nothing.”

Enzo Rota concluded with just four words. Then, he picked two drops of dried blood from the flesh with a scalpel, and placed it carefully under a laser microscope to observe it more closely.

Lin Liqiang also copied Enzo Rota and picked some dried blood. Then, he observed it under a laser microscope. Data projected above the table surface, forming weird genetic chains and cell maps.

Lin Liqiang stared at the projected infographics and the generated data. His face expressed some doubts and his eyes were contemplative.

Qin Fen sat quietly beside, waiting for the preliminary results. He focused only on martial dao training over the years and had not been to university or learned any of the more advanced science. He had no right to say anything in this field, and could only wait for his friends’ conclusion.

Enzo Rota knew far less information than Lin Liqiang about the insect warriors. Lin Liqiang, who had dissected a complete insect warrior before, kept changing his facial expression from confused to contemplative, serious to admiring to praising… showing all kinds of different expressions.

“Interesting, really interesting. It’s a pity, it’s such a pity.”

Lin Liqiang looked up at Qin Fen, “The preliminary judgment made from observing these materials is that the Founding Society, which created the insect warrior, should already have dealt with these creatures before. From what we can see now, insect warriors should have taken in some of this creature’s advantages, but at the same time, they didn’t copy everything from this creature.”

A crisp snap of the fingers sounded in the hall, and Lin Liqiang continued to speak, “Which means, this creature didn’t just recently start to appear, it must have already existed for quite some time. It’s just that you and I didn’t know about its existence. Perhaps it’s because of this, the insect warrior behaved somewhat affectionately towards it.”

“Furthermore, the insect warrior’s existence has proven my speculation that it is indeed a composite creature. There were ten body parts on it that I couldn’t understand at all previously, one of them…”

Lin Liqiang pointed to the projection floating on the table next to him, “Was this thing. I didn’t understand where it came from. Now I know that it is not something that the Founding Society has developed by themselves, it came from a kind of creature that can speak human’s language.”

“There are nine more parts?” Qin Fen was very surprised.

“Yes.” Lin Liqiang’s fingers typed rapidly on the keyboard, and weird projected graphics appeared one after another once again, “Can you see these? These nine cells are something I have never seen before. These were obviously being broken down and recomposed. Although I have tried to restore them to a certain extent, I believe these are not their original appearances. But even so, I still couldn’t find out where they came from, as there were no clues about them among the known mutated creatures. And this…”

A group of projections, which looked eighty-percent similar to the flesh cell brought in by Qin Fen, appeared on top of the table. Lin Liqiang extended his hand and introduced it like a saleslady, “Do you see this? This is one of the unexplainable parts that I found in the past. After trying my best to restore it, I still couldn’t restore it to its original appearance completely. Doesn’t it look quite similar to the one you brought me?”

Qin Fen nodded without expressing a comment. The two sets of data graphics were indeed somewhat similar.

“Do you mean…?” Qin Fen probed further, “There may be nine more types…”

“It’s hard to say.” Lin Liqiang shook his head and waved continuously, “It’s just one type, but those cells and tissues are not on the piece of meat that you brought back. So like I said, it’s a pity; if you can bring back a complete one for me, then maybe I can unlock more mysteries.”

Qin Fen was silent. Had it been another group of people that was not Du Zhanpeng and had nothing to do with Qin Zhan, that competed for the new energy and new metal, I might have really taken it forcefully. If I knew that this piece of meat was so useful to Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota, I would have tried to communicate with them again to get half of it, even if he was Du Zhanpeng or related to Qin Zhan. If the other party does not agree, then I would’ve taken it anyways. This creature’s body has no owner-labeled trademark in the natural cemetery anyway. So whoever grabs it, gets it.

“It’s okay, Old Qin. If the opportunity arises again next time.” Lin Liqiang made an act of snatching forcefully, “This stuff is definitely a good thing for me and Old Enz.”

Enzo Rota’s cool face revealed agreement, “A new direction.”

Lin Liqiang snapped his fingers and said agreeably, “Yes! A new direction! If we researched this stuff earlier, then maybe Du Peng would not be like this now. The appearance of this thing is in line with our new human being, and can even be said to open more new directions for us.”

“In this case…”

Qin Fen was in deep contemplation. After entering Saturn, there will be more and more kinds of dangers. Even if I am an eighteen-star expert with ground aura and accompanied by Yang Lie, Xue Tian, and the others, ​​it doesn’t necessarily mean that we can defeat Elysium and Inferno for sure. Especially the two experts, Jade Emperor and Ground Treasury; It’s hard to say even if I have already entered the celestial aura realm.

After the Du Peng incident, Qin Fen reflected seriously. In this current situation where dangers were hidden everywhere, the first thing to consider was not justice and injustice. This was a huge vortex. When sucked into this vortex, the first consideration was the safety of your friends.

“The Founding Society can create insect warriors. Plus, there are nine types of it being incomprehensible…” Qin Fen touched his chin and looked at Lin Liqiang, “So…”

Lin Liqiang excitedly raised his index finger. “Then they might have the remaining nine types of samples that I don’t understand at all!”

Qin Fen cast a ‘youth worth educating’ look at Lin Liqiang. Chen Zhi once said that if you wanted to know more, go to the Founding Society. Chen Feiyu had a deep hatred of the Founding Society that made it so that they couldn’t live under the same sky. Mourad also had a lot of hatred and grievances towards the Founding Society.

Qin Fen wouldn’t have killed the two people at one shot in the past if it were not for the sudden appearance of insect warriors, which caused a large number of recruit deaths in West Asia. This left the younger generation of West Asia’s three heroes with no choice but to venture into the circle of East Asia recruit in order to snatch Qin Fen’s weapons to get through difficulties.

“Old Qin, find a way to look for them. You are, after all, Saturn’s general commander now.” Lin Liqiang touched his chin and looked at Qin Fen, “I was baffled that they were willing to give so much information this time. Perhaps they will give it to us if we ask for it.”

Qin Fen smiled while he looked at his two old friends’ serious and excited expressions. Fate was really magical. In the past, Lin Liqiang was dissatisfied with his family matters and Enzo Rota did not like Europe’s atmosphere. They studied in the same high school with Qin Fen and the three became friends by chance.

Over the years, his two friends had been supporting quietly and silently, whether it was regarding biochemical beasts or medicine. There was also a time where many people were seriously injured. Enzo Rota silently blocked the door at the hospital and sent all the challengers to the other ward. They had never asked for anything in return.

“Alright, I will immediately use Saturn’s entire military force to search for it.” Qin Fen said while smiling, “At that time, even if the Founding Society does not want to give it to us, we will give you a copy by stealing or taking it by force. By the way, do you know anyone who has an understanding of metal and energy?”

Lin Liqiang and Enzo Rota exchanged looks and simultaneously looked at Qin Fen’s nano battle suit, which could hide a lot of things, “Why? Did you get the new energy and metal already?”

“You could say so.” Qin Fen took the new metal and new energy out of his clothes, “Although this was a trap set by that monster, this thing was actually still there. It’s just that we don’t know where the mine is. We are also not sure that only the monster has this kind of thing, and only this little.”

Lin Liqiang looked at the energy crystal in his hand. Under the light exposure, its color was different from what it was in the natural cemetery. The fist-size energy crystal exuded vibrant colorful radiance. It resembled the rotating light ball in the nightclub. It constantly changed colors.

“This is the new energy?” Lin Liqiang said, “If it is used as a gift, it would be a good gift to charm a girl, right?”

Enzo Rota weighted the new metal in his hand. This kind of light metal actually did not change under a full grip, like the feeling of ordinary people gripping the steel tightly.

“It is very hard,” Qin Fen introduced, “Even Mourad’s weapon is incomparable to this.”

Enzo Rota nodded in understanding. As the Vermillion Bird Sect’s disciple, Mourad’s gun was also a weapon given by Vermillion Bird. Although this kind of thing couldn’t be said to be an elite magic weapon of the world today, it was not far from that. Even that was not as good as this metal. This deserved more attention.

“Old Qin, this does not need to be done by us.” Lin Liqiang looked at Qin Fen, “Do you remember that you mentioned Dragon Hall when you called me?”

Qin Fen was stunned for a moment. Dragon Hall was created on the Sky Battle Net two years ago, and it had been a long time since he returned to that place. The only thing that could prove that it still existed today was that there would be more money in Qin Fen’s account every month. The money showed that Dragon Hall’s agent, Zhang Xiangyang, was still operating it. It also showed that everything was fine in Dragon Hall.

“Maybe you still have no idea?” Lin Liqiang showed a little envy on his face, “Come to think of it, your luck is quite good. The last time you appeared in the Sky Battle Net, you gained much popularity and attention which enabled the quick expansion of your Dragon Hall. In addition to that, the person who manages Dragon Hall is a talented person. Not only did he develop it very well in the virtual Sky Battle Net, but they’ve also extended their influence to the real society.”

Qin Fen was surprised. It seemed that Xing Wuyi’s casual words of ‘Dragon Hall is doing very well’, was not that simple.

“Let’s put it this way: there are geniuses in any industry. For example, there’s Old Enz and me in biochemical and pharmaceuticals, and Xue Tian, ​​Shang Guan Chuan Qi, Young Hades, Yang Lie, and you in martial dao.” Lin Liqiang explained, “Similarly, there are also geniuses in other fields. There are also outstanding people in every generation of the metals and energy field.”

“Are they related to Dragon Hall?” Qin Fen couldn’t believe it. These geniuses in various fields were related to Dragon Hall, an organization that existed purely for martial artists.

“Of course. Everyone is young, and everyone is practicing a little bit of martial dao, right?” Lin Liqiang glanced at Enzo Rota while smiling and said, “Old Qin, you probably don’t know that Old Enz and I are also Dragon Hall’s members. Some of the young people in all fields are somewhat arrogant. Naturally, they couldn’t care less about Dragon Hall. However, some people will contact Dragon Hall during their leisure time, and gradually understand your past. They admire your ability and your personality and some of them joined Dragon Hall simply because of that. So, if you want to find talents in various industries, you don’t need to ask Old Enz and I. Just go back to your Dragon Hall once, and maybe there is an unexpected gain.”

Qin Fen nodded continuously while listening. He never thought that the Dragon Hall that was purely built to make money to support his life, would have grown up with him as time passed.

Di di. Lin Liqiang’s phone rang twice. He looked at the projection screen as it popped up and slapped his forehead repeatedly, “Right! I almost forgot. The tickets for Flying Hearts concert is on sale today. Old Qin, do you have any money? I came out in a rush, please give me some to use.”

“Flying Hearts?” The heavy metal rock of skillful singing crossed Qin Fen’s mind. When he thought about how he could not find the Founding Society immediately, he stretched his body, “I also want to listen to their concert too. Let’s go buy tickets together.”
