"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang"

Jiang Liushi faintly heard someone calling for him in his sleep, and he tried his best to open his eyes. When he did, Zhang Hai and the others could be seen around him, staring at him nervously. He was lying in his bed inside the minibus, and the light was quite smooth on the eyes.

"Why am I here? Did I faint?" Jiang Liushi asked. He couldn't remember what had happened to him except the dizziness he had felt earlier.

"Brother Jiang, it was Ying who insisted on carrying you back to the minibus," Zhang Hai explained.

Originally, Zhang Hai intended to carry Jiang Liushi back to his room, but Ying insisted on carrying him back to his minibus. Zhang Hai gave everything in detail as he had found the whole situation strange. Although Ying looked like a young girl, she was quite strong, and Zhang Hai could only give up on his initial judgment and follow them back to the minibus.

'Ying?' Listening to Zhang Hai's words, Jiang Liushi started to search for Ying. He looked at the petite figure dressed in black that had a cold countenance, but her eyes were locked on him the whole time.

'The evolutionary crystal you consumed was too pure, and its excessive energy caused some damage to your body, and thus, affecting your nervous system. After all, you are an ordinary human who has not evolved the same way as others. In other words, your cells could only bear a limited portion of pure energy,' Ying explained to Jiang Liushi through their mental connection.

As a matter of fact, Ying's main mission was to protect and act the moment Jiang Liushi's life was in danger. 'I carried you back to the minibus because it's the only place in which you can recover'

'I... How long will it take me to recover?' Undoubtedly, this was the question Jiang Liushi was mostly concerned for. Jiang Liushi's physical discomfort led him to feel dizzy, which was bad if he was in the middle of a battle. Moreover, he had to take part in the level-5 mission and had to be in perfect condition.

'You need at least a month to recover naturally. At the same time, you can't consume more than a third of an evolutionary crystal,' Ying answered.

Jiang Liushi smiled wryly at this answer. He didn't expect that the pure evolutionary crystal would not be good for him. However, he came to an understanding. It was similar to eating. If one person ate too much food, they would feel uncomfortable.

'Do you know of any methods that can let me recover faster?' Jiang Liushi asked.

'Let me check.' Ying answered and then Jiang Liushi felt that was Ying scanning his mind.

'In combination with the host's physical condition, the host can choose the option of level-2 genetic fluid and strengthen the body again,' Starseed's cold voice sounded in his mind.

However, Jiang Liushi was as worried as before because there were no level-2 genetic fluids in the lab at all.

'Do I need to upgrade the lab first?' Jiang Liushi asked.

'Yes, one level-2 mutant nucleus is needed to upgrade the lab,' Starseed confirmed.

'Okay, upgrade it now!' Jiang Liushi was very decisive. According to Starseed's description, the level-2 genetic fluids could not only heal the damage he had received but also increase his strength.

"How are you feeling, Brother Jiang? If only Yuxin were here, it would be much better," Ran Xiyu looked at Jiang Liushi and asked nervously.

Ran Xiyu had noticed that Jiang Liushi and Ying had been communicating with each other mentally, so she felt a little worried. Although she was a psychic paranormal, due to Starseed's existence, she could never sense Jiang Liushi's mental state. She could only sense his emotions.

"Don't worry. I'm okay. I will visit Yuxin's home tomorrow. I think I will be okay by tomorrow," Jiang Liushi comforted Ran Xiyu.

"Uh." Ran Xiyu nodded.

Jiang Liushi stood up and walked to the minibus cab, from which strange sounds came, and then metal plates appeared, sealing the room. Usually, Jiang Liushi would protect his secrets tightly. Although he trusted his team, he didn't want to explain everything as his condition was complicated.

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun looked at each other and then stared at the sealed room with glowing eyes. In their eyes, Jiang Liushi was a mystery.

As soon as Jiang Liushi entered the cab, he placed a level-2 mutant nucleus in the meatal groove skillfully.

'second upgrade of Biological Laboratory has been selected. Initiating construction!'

Half an hour later, Starseed notified Jiang Liushi, 'Successful upgrade!'

A holographic scene appeared in Jiang Liushi's mind. Unlike the previous messages, there was not only information but also images.

'The level-2 genetic fluids which the laboratory can create are'

Jiang Liushi read through the descriptions quickly. He found the same common genetic fluids as before, but they could further enhance defense, strength, agility, and brain regions. At the same time, Jiang Liushi could see vivid virtual images of his body in his mind now. He was in the best of spirits. As for the elemental types, which were also similar to the previous introductions, there were some new abilities now. However, the consumption of mutant nuclei was terrible! Jiang Liushi could find only a few low-cost performance elemental types.

After reading and thinking carefully, Jiang Liushi decided to choose one kind Level-2 blood evolution gene fluid!

Jiang Liushi had already consumed the level-1 blood evolution gene fluid, through which he had gained greater resilience and strength. Blood evolution meant that people could obtain a stronger blood circulation system, which could mutate the blood cells, giving them a greater ability to carry oxygen, nutrients, and energy. Although the production of the level-2 gene fluid needed to consume five level-1 mutant nuclei, Jiang Liushi didn't hesitate at all. As long as the level-2 gene fluid could be produced, the third or even the fourth generation would also be possible. For Jiang Liushi, this would be the happiest occasion. Without any hesitation, Jiang Liushi placed five level-1 mutant nuclei into that metal groove!

A deep, painful roar came suddenly from the sealed cab. Zhang Hai was scared by that sound, and then they all looked at Ran Xiyu.

Ran Xiyu used her mental power to sense Jiang Liushi's state, and she found that Jiang Liushi was in great pain. She rubbed her brow to ease the feeling of dizziness she got by sensing Jiang Liushi's feelings and kept observing him.

"Brother Jiang is fine," Seeing Zhang Hai's worried looked, Ran Xiyu said. She didn't know what had happened to Jiang Liushi, but she found that he had become stronger.

'Om-'

As the metal plates of the sealed cab retreated, Jiang Liushi appeared in front of everyone. There were traces of sweat on his face. It was obvious that he had been tormented by terrible pain in that sealed cab. A lot of sweat was evaporating due to his body temperature, leaving only slight traces on his clothes. In addition to sweat, his skin had become as delicate as jade. Although Jiang Liushi was just an ordinary person, his temperament was even better than a paranormal.

"Brother Jiang, I feel you are a little different," Zhang Hai said.

"Don't worry. I'm fine, pretty good." Jiang Liushi smiled faintly.
