Embers Ad Infinitum

Bodhi? Bai Chen resisted the urge to listen carefully.

On the one hand, the team leader's warnings still rang in her ears, and the shadow of the "accident" made her afraid to delve deeper. On the other hand, when the people at the table saw them passing by, they temporarily closed their mouths and stopped communicating.

After leaving the restaurant, Bai Chen deliberately did not look at Long Yuehong beside him, and said to Jiang Baimian in a low voice:

"Team leader, the people at the table just now seemed to be talking about Bodhi-related things."

"It turns out we are the same believers." Zen Master Shang Jianyao from Pudu was quite happy and clasped his hands together and said, "Namo Ayodoro Sanyao Sanbodhi."

Jiang Baimian said "ha":

"Those who discuss Bodhi are not necessarily Buddhists, but may also be historical researchers like us."

The "Old Tune Group" is essentially studying history and restoring the truth.

Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to reply, she pointed forward and said:

"Don't worry so much, let's go back to the hotel first and recharge our batteries safely."

Life is full of wrong paths, and she doesn't want to lose her way on the real path and make the wrong choice on the path of destiny.

It wasn't that she really thought there was something wrong with Long Yuehong or Shang Jianyao's destiny, but that there was such a group of people behind them that she was suspicious of everything.

"Okay." Shang Jianyao was quite disappointed.

The four of them, who had eaten and drank enough, walked step by step towards the "Fire and Iron" hotel in the relatively bad air and under the illumination of the street lights on both sides of the road.

In the short distance of a few dozen meters, Long Yuehong walked with great fear.

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way and they entered the hotel smoothly.

Phew...Long Yuehong breathed out quietly.

Shang Jianyao looked at him with regret, said nothing, just shook his head.

Long Yuehong, who was ready for a verbal spat with him, was suddenly a little bit stifled and wanted to ask this guy what exactly he meant.

At this time, Jiang Baimian saw the good-looking receptionist with blond hair and blue eyes packing things.

He held a rucksack, opened the drawer, and put a "Union 202" pistol, two boxes of ammunition and several grenades inside.

"Are you off work?" Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically.

"Yes." The receptionist replied with a bright smile, "I'll wait for my colleagues to hand over, and then go to the Hunter Guild to see if there are any suitable tasks."

As he spoke, he put on his backpack and picked up a double-barreled shotgun.

This heavily armed appearance made Long Yuehong feel that he was actually robbing a prison rather than working as the front desk of a hotel.

Is this the "White Knights"? He muttered something in his mind.

The receptionist looked at the door and didn't see his colleagues, so he returned to his original position impatiently.

Jiang Baimian glanced around and found a thin booklet spread out in front of him, with patterns drawn and text written on it, separated line by line, as if he was listing something.

"What is this?" Shang Jianyao never disappoints Jiang Baimian when it comes to curiosity.

The receptionist looked down at the brochure and said with a smile:

"The map of the genetic improvement potion I got from the castle. I have almost saved up enough money and want to choose in advance which aspect to strengthen next time."

"Oh." Shang Jianyao came closer and asked without hesitation, "What are they? Can you show us?"

"Okay." The front desk didn't mind at all, "You can also go to the castle to ask for it yourself. For them, this means possible business. Haha, some of the genetically modified medicines we have here may not be available to you. have."

While he was talking, Shang Jianyao reached out and picked up the booklet. Jiang Baimian and others came over and started reading together.

Long Yuehong didn't know it, but was shocked when she saw it.

He never thought that the "White Knights" would have dozens or hundreds of varieties of genetically modified potions!

Over the years, "Pangu Biology" has only accumulated three types: Type 1, which is the oldest and not very effective, Type 2, which is experimental, and Type 3, which has outstanding effects and almost no negative effects.

It wasn't until Type 3 that "Pangaea" promoted and popularized genetic improvement internally.

Therefore, when the internal employees of "Pangu Biology" talk about genetically modified medicines, they will not deliberately mention which type it is, and the default is type 3.

As far as Jiang Baimian knows, after type 3, the company's research focus is to find specific reasons for certain employees who have poor improvement results, and develop more targeted subtypes. There may be more than a dozen models, maybe just So two or three.

Considering the existence of the receptionist, Long Yuehong did not share her surprise and confusion with Bai Chen, but carefully read the introduction on the map.

After Shang Jianyao turned three pages, he probably understood what was going on:

The genetically modified original solution of "Pangu Biology" and the corresponding drugs and potions can enable a person to achieve comprehensive improvement, ranging from height, mind, appearance, to immunity and the ability to adapt to the environment.

Of course, the specific effects that can be achieved vary depending on individual physiques.

The genetic improvement drugs of the "White Knights" are all "single item" growth.

For example, the X series is optimized for human immunity. The X-3 type is the basic and mature model. It is the cheapest and allows users to fight pollution well. There are several models behind it that are more effective.

Series A is about appearance optimization, involving facial features and height, Series B is about improving reaction speed, etc., etc.

In general, the combination of so many types of genetic improvement drugs from the "White Knights" can make a person achieve comprehensive improvement.

But if we only compare the "single item" effect, the genetic improvement of "Pangaea" is not as good as that of the "White Knights".

Jiang Baimian knew this before.

Her understanding is:

"White Knights" took a different approach and achieved a certain extreme in "single item" optimization, while "Pangu Creatures" focused more on balance and overallity.

Many times, only doing "single" optimization is a big burden on the body... Maybe there are so few old people over fifty in the "White Knights" for this reason... Jiang Baimian's thoughts were floating, and he listened Go to Shang Jian Yao and ask the front desk:

"What kind of potion are you going to buy this time?"

The front desk showed hesitation:

"I plan to choose between the C series and the K series."

The C series is for strengthening balance and coordination abilities, and the K series is for memory and learning abilities.

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, the receptionist continued to speak:

"As you know, in addition to the basic X series, a person can have up to three genetic improvements in his or her lifetime.

"I have already drank the E series once and the A series once. There is only one last chance left. I have to seriously consider it."

The E series is designed to improve muscle-related abilities.

Shang Jianyao asked in confusion:

"You all know there are only three chances, why choose Series A?"

In his opinion, the beauty or ugliness of the face is the least important.

The receptionist sighed:

“To gain height.

"If a person is tall, gains weight appropriately, and exercises hard, he can have quite good fighting ability."

He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, similar to Jiang Baimian. Although his appearance is not bad, he is not particularly outstanding.

Based on this, Long Yuehong judged that the genetic improvement potions available for this person were relatively cheap basic models, and the effects were not very good.

Moreover, the other two types of medicines he drank obviously came later. They were not modifications received during the fetal or infant stage, so they would naturally have a certain impact.

Shang Jianyao said "Oh" and then made a suggestion.

He pointed to his head:

"A good mind is important at all times."

"I'll think about it again..." The blonde-haired, blue-eyed receptionist struggled again.

Seeing this, Jiang Baimian and others returned the map of genetically modified medicines they had read, quietly entered the stairs and walked towards their suite.

On the way, Shang Jianyao asked eagerly:

"How many times will we have the opportunity to drink the genetic improvement potion of the White Knights?"

"Countless times, you can drink whatever you want, but it has no effect." Jiang Baimian poured cold water on Shang Jianyao.

She has some knowledge in this area.

Shang Jianyao immediately said:

"I'm asking for Xiaohong to see if the height can be adjusted."

"Thank you!" Although Long Yuehong didn't want to admit it, she was a little disappointed in her heart.

While talking, they returned to their room, and Gnawa was still sitting in the same position as before, guarding the high-performance batteries that were being charged.

Returned safely, no accidents... After passing through the door, Jiang Baimian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Gnawa's eyes flashed red and he made a slightly synthetic voice:

"You are finally back. I just heard the ruin hunters passing by downstairs discussing things about Bodhi."

Don't say it! Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen shouted in their hearts at the same time.

They never calculated that Lao Ge would play the role of causing "trouble", nor did they expect that they and others would fall a little before the finish line.

Phew, Jiang Baimian breathed out, no longer escaping, and asked directly:

"What's going on?"

She felt that it was better to find out the matter now so that she could formulate corresponding plans in advance.

Gennava replied:

"Some time ago, the Hunter Guild posted a mission to find a Bodhi statue lost by a certain monk in Gerstburg. The reward is fifty gold knight coins."

"So many?" Shang Jianyao did not hide his surprise.

His focus obviously shifted to the amount of the reward.
