My Genes Can Evolve Limitlessly

Chapter 4: Plans, Why Are Things Different from The Introduction?

Translator: Lordbluefire

Lu Yuan opened the folder with the title ‘Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique’.

There were only four pages inside.

However, the very first sentence was a warning written in blood-red color.

“The [Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique] is the official property of the Red Maple Empire, and it’s forbidden for genetic fighters to privately teach others about this technique. Those who violate the rule will be punished by the death sentence!”

Lu Yuan’s pupils involuntarily narrowed when he saw this.

(It’s actually so strict? Seems that this is very valuable.)

Lu Yuan then hurriedly continued reading.

The content of the Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique was very simple. There was only an explanation about basic knowledge of spirit qi and how to absorb spirit qi.

Spirit qi was a type of omnipotent energy that existed everywhere in the universe, and only gene fighters who had activated their gene chains could absorb and use it.

Through tempering their bodies and minds, gene fighters would be able to produce spirit qi and also absorb spirit qi from the outside world.

Spirit qi could refine the genetic chain, which in turn nourished and strengthened the body and spirit.

When an awakened genetic chain was completely refined by spirit qi, it would be able to activate higher-grade genetic chains by employing special methods.

This was also a way for gene fighters to improve themselves.

......

Lu Yuan was enlightened. Only with spirit qi could a gene fighter’s power be completely unleashed. With it, he could improve himself unceasingly.

No wonder there would be a warning written in blood-red.

Only gene fighters who had finished registering themselves would be able to obtain the spirit qi guiding technique gifted by the authorities. Since that was the case, gene fighters who didn’t register themselves naturally wouldn’t be able to have something like this.

Usually, the majority of gene fighters who didn’t register themselves were characters that preferred staying out of sight.

Without the Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique, refining genetic chains would become extremely difficult for these people.

It could be considered that Lu Yuan understood the meaning of the warning.

Naturally, such a method wouldn’t be able to prevent some people from taking a risk out of desperation.

At this moment, Lu Yuan solemnly memorized the content of the Spirit Qi Guiding Technique as he planned to cultivate it properly later on.

After that, Lu Yuan looked at the other two pieces of data.

The military fist and military swordplay were basic physical training techniques used by the Red Maple Empire.

They were a fist art and sword art.

If one were to practice these two physical training techniques for a long period, they would be able to improve their physical strength and even their mental strength. In addition, these were killing techniques that could be used for practical combat.

There were videos on the Military Fist and Military Swordplay. A middle-aged man with a cold demeanor clad in a military uniform was teaching the two techniques.

The guidance was very detailed, and text was also provided for explanation. Hence, Lu Yuan didn’t feel that they were difficult to learn.

He planned to properly practice these two physical training techniques later.

After properly saving the data in the folders, Lu Yuan started to surf the battleweb.

There were many segments on the battleweb: the trading segment, combat segment, mission segment, etc.

The first page consisted of some major news regarding the circle of gene fighters.

“Shocking news! The Icesnow Princess Si Tingxue who disappeared for half a year actually has broken through to the Battle Master level!”

“The Mystic Nine Battle King has become the sixth Battle King-level expert of the Great Revelation Planet’s humans that successfully barges into the Great Rock Secret Realm!”

“…”

Lu Yuan browsed through them quickly and finally found the segment containing information on the Land of Origins.

There were several forum posts about the Land of Origins in this segment.

Many of the posts required the user to pay a fee before they could gain entry, but some provided information for free.

The free information posts were usually those issued by the officials, which gave some basic information on the Land of Origins.

And for Lu Yuan who planned to enter the Land of Origins, he precisely lacked such information.

He clicked into a forum post.

[What preparation work do you need to do if you are entering the Land of Origins for the first time?]

“For the majority of awakened gene fighters, they would have guidance from their elders before they entered the Land of Origins. For people like them, the information here is useless to them. The information in this post is targeted at newbies who don’t have gene fighter elders to guide them. If you are a newbie, please seriously read on as this will help you a lot.

“First point, let’s talk about the first time you ‘guide’ spirit qi. Before entering the Land of Origins, you have to absorb your first portion of spirit qi. Because only by possessing spirit qi will you be able to open up the space within your battle gene tattoo. Although the excavated space of probational gene fighters is very small, it can still allow you to bring some things with you. In the future, you can only depend on this space to bring out your gains from the Land of Origins. This is very important.

“Second point, it’s about the choice of items that you should bring when you enter the Land of Origins for the first time. Firstly, scientific weapons produced in the outside world are useless in the Land of Origins. So, you don’t have to think about using gauss guns or high-energy explosive bombs. If you are a newbie that has a certain amount of capital, we recommend you to purchase some good genetic armaments. This will allow you to be stronger compared to others of the same level, so you will have a lead at the starting line. If you don’t have enough money to purchase the armaments, you can only bring some necessities and these necessities are listed below…

“Third point, as newbies, you guys must know that you can only enter the Land of Origins for 24 hours for the first time. Every second of these 24 hours is extremely precious because you can obtain spirit crystals when you kill the monsters in the Land of Origins and use the crystals to improve your cultivation. As long as you can leave the Land of Origins alive, you will be able to bring your harvests back to reality. To gene fighters, this is the only shortcut to getting stronger. Also, the spirit crystals are merely items of the lowest value in the Land of Origins. When the monsters die, they have a small chance of dropping genetic armaments, extraordinary genes, precious items, etc. All these are extremely valuable. When you are adventuring in the Land of Origins, you might even come across ruins and might be able to obtain technology or transcendent knowledge from it. The value of these things is unimaginable, and it’s the best opportunity for you to earn your first pot of gold. So, please use these 24 hours properly.

“Fourth point, if you have friends you can trust enough, you guys can adventure together and make use of the gene battle tattoo to establish an alliance. As to how spoils will be distributed, this naturally means equal distribution, so conflict and fights can be avoided. Moreover, other than humans in the initial city, there will be other races too. Please maintain your vigilance toward these other races!

“Fifth point, newly awakened newbies will have anchor points in their gene battle tattoos. These anchor points will also determine the initial city you will arrive at in the Land of Origins. As everyone knows, all the initial cities in the Land of Origins have existed long ago, and it’s impossible for us to monopolize them. We, humans from the Great Revelation Planet, have four initial cities we will arrive at. They are separately known as Storm City, Bone City, Sandstone City, and Bloodsecret Castle. Next, I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of these four initial cities…”

The text was at least 10,000 words long. After seriously reading them all, Lu Yuan finally could be considered to have a general understanding of the Land of Origins.

The Land of Origins was a magical place that possessed boundless treasures.

In the Land of Origins, one would only be able to bring back their gains if they left safely.

If they died, they would lose everything.

In fact, death would injure their mental states, and they had to wait for a certain amount of time to pass before they could enter the Land of Origins again.

This influence was too great.

There were two methods if one wanted to exit the Land of Origins.

The first was to wait for the remaining time to end, and the second was to make use of an escape tool to flee the Land of Origins. Both methods could allow one to bring their gains out.

However, escape tools were very precious. Lu Yuan’s face had the word poverty ‘written’ on it, so how could he afford to buy one?

Let alone escape tools, Lu Yuan couldn’t even afford to buy genetic armaments.

He had checked the trading area earlier. Even the lowest-grade genetic armaments cost $10,000 at the very least.

Lu Yuan rubbed his forehead.

(Why am I so poor?)

(Could it be that I still have to bust my liver to earn money after coming to this world?)

(There must be a problem somewhere!)

Lu Yuan was somewhat reluctant to believe in this truth.

After that, he checked a few more forum posts and finally had a general understanding of the preparation work he had to do before venturing into the Land of Origins. He also finished his planning.

Firstly, he had to cultivate the spirit qi guiding technique, absorbing spirit qi and opening up the gene battle tattoo space.

Secondly, he had to shop for necessities tomorrow and buy an alloy weapon he felt comfortable with. Since he couldn’t afford genetic armaments, he would have to make do with common alloy weapons.

Thirdly, if he had the time to do so, he would practice the Military Fist and Military Swordplay to enhance his personal strength. It was because he didn’t want to ‘die’ the first time he entered. That would be too hurtful.

After confirming the steps he had to take, Lu Yuan shut the computer down. He then went to his bed and sat cross-legged, planning to breathe in spirit qi.

“Mn…according to the Basic Spirit Qi Guiding Technique, I have to first close my eyes and empty my mind, allowing myself to be in a drowsy and vacant state. I should be able to sense spirit qi after that.”

Lu Yuan recalled the information as he closed his eyes.

However, the moment Lu Yuan closed his eyes, he immediately sensed numerous white dots of light around him. These white dots of light all got close to Lu Yuan, ‘dancing’ around him as though they were in a jubilant manner.

Lu Yuan, “???”

He was somewhat astonished.

(Spirit qi?!)

(Why is there so much?!)

(Wrong, I haven’t emptied my mind yet. Why would I already be able to sense spirit qi?)

(Why is this somewhat different from the introduction?)
