Chapter 48 48:Superhuman[II]

Question marks appeared over Leon's face as he wondered if this guy had a slip of the tongue and meant cultivator.

"I know a bit about them but not much," Leon answered in a profound tone.

"Then, I should give you a brief."

"As you know, it's easier to become Tier 1 of the Body Enhancement realm but the problems come after that. Every 1 person out of 10,000 people has a chance of cultivating and even for that you should have at least veins of Tier 8 that can carry you forward. If one has mortal veins, he can't connect himself to spiritual qi and advance Tier 2 of Body Enhancement. As for Tier 9 veins, it's great if you can become a Martial Disciple with that."

Leon for some reason felt offended by this statement.

"Hmmm!"Leon nodded, acknowledging the fact.

Without the help of those potions and the Sun Dew grass, his condition would be quite bad. Unless you are favored by fortune, no matter what you try a trash body is just a trashy body one born with.

"Our society relies too much on cultivators. While those blessed by good things, go higher. The ones below are oppressed and trampled without any chance to fight back but this changed."Silver's voice became loud and excited.

"Due to the superhuman, right?"Leon's eyes narrowed.

"Yes!'

"Superhumans don't rely on Qi but rather on themselves. Through years of research and mutation, humans have developed a serum that modified the human genome making them transcend the limit of humanity. The one whom you killed on your first mission is a Superhuman human of strength type. Though a Superhuman isn't as strong as the cultivator counterpart, it's still better for someone to have that strength instead of dying as an ant who is unable to cultivate things."

"It's nice to hear the story but may I ask the exact reason you are looking for me?"Leon asked.

"Partnership. I know you want the thing Marriott Group Pharmaceutical has been looking for."

"Huh! What are you talking about?"Leon scratched his head in bewilderment.

'I just said I have a grudge. When did I say I want anything for them? And I don't think a Superhuman serum would work on the cultivator and even if it works, what if there were side effects?'

"You don't need to pretend Mr.Noel.I know you are looking for the gene enhancement serum."

"Uhhh...Yes.I mean you are quite clever to find that out..."Leon answered blankly.

"It seems we can work together."

.....

From the brief conversation, Leon became aware of many things. The more he goes around, the more layer depth unfolds around him.

It wasn't a simple cultivation world but rather a grand, very grand stage designed for the so-called child of destiny and villain of destiny.

Drops of sweat trickled on the floor, as Leon practiced martial arts trying to control his strength so that he wouldn't break things in the hotel room.

BEEP!

He pauses his training hearing a chime, and decides to take a break and take a look.

"Haaaa!"Sitting down Leon took a sip of his coffee and massaged his forehead.

"While so many things are going around, some people are playing cat and mouse while unloading themselves."Leon commented wondering what the protagonists and villains were doing.

The protagonist of the cultivation type may be hypocritical but they do work hard by putting their lives at risk, while those with systems work hard in sowing their seeds and deflowering.

"And it's better if I don't talk about villains."

A faint smile formed on Leon's lips thinking about Seph.

Breed women and face-slap people to get stronger. Easy and quite enjoyable.

Keeping his thoughts aside, Leon picked up the tablet and read through the report of many pages that he received now.

Leon paid a few bucks to get this and read the contents about the so-called Superhuman to furnish his knowledge.

The race of superhumans begins when a madman makes a breakthrough in gene expression by tracing it to the fundamental level.

The research was funded by many huge corporations that had too much money to spend yet were as helpless as dogs before cultivators.

By improving gene sequencing and expressing particular gene structures that governed every possible thing of a person, they altered them to raise them to a higher level.

Like an increase in height, physique, and overall strength. However, even now there are still quite limitations.

The basic Superhuman serums are Strength and Agility type. After that comes abilities like fire, water, and ice. Some serums would induce a particular power in a person if he had them in his genes after years of evolution, like telekinesis, mind control, shapeshifting, etc...

However, any person who takes this would have a severe reduction in lifespan due to an increase in metabolic activity. Their children can inherit the power but by doing so their lifespan would also decrease

And in some cases, one may lose his ability to reproduce.

A small price for salvation.

The rank goes from Grade 1 to Grade 5

Grade 1 is synonymous with Marital Disciple while Grade 5 is similar to Martial King. Once awakened, you can't just raise the level by simply working hard, rather the advancement to the next stage is coincidental or you have to take the serum of the next stage and the Grade 5 Serum is the limit, and each serum costs a great sum.

"So, once you take this route you either have to take the next state Serum to advance which ends at Grade 5, or go through mental trauma and shock that can force you to level. I can already smell a protagonist in this route. Maybe more than one."

Leon smiles, keeping down the tablet and reading things about Mariotte sent by Silver.

Out of all these Serum, Mark, a highly acknowledged biotechnologist, managed to develop a serum known as Essence Infusion Serum.

Unlike others that focus on a particular trait or gene, it improves the overall capability of humans by working on all structures.

At the same time, it will also help you to unearth your special ability if you have any. If you have low-tier veins, it would widen them apart allowing you to sense qi.

In simple terms, it can allow a mortal to cultivate.

As long as have it, you can begin the path of cultivation.

And the most important detail.

It had no side effect of cutting down life or making you infertile. freёweɓnovel.com

Mark after developing it disappeared and the world went crazy looking for it.

Mariotte Pharmaceuticals Group after a century-old search managed to find his whereabouts along with an incomplete formula that's why they are on the target list.

They got this one from the research facilities along with minor details of the location.

Leon's mission was to keep an eye on Wolfgang's mercenary who was working for Marriott Group.

After finding the serum, Leon would hand it over to the Serum for which he would be offered 300 million dollars and also one dosage of serum to use after it was researched.

"So, Silver is making me one of the scapegoats to do his bidding. He might have already given these missions to many but once someone finds it out, then..."

"Hahaha!If only he knew..."

"Good! The game is becoming fun."

"Where is it?"Leon asked the system.

[Do you want to exchange it for 200 luck points?]

Leon paused a bit and looked at his luck hovering at 252.

"Yes, as long as it's not negative."

Soon, Leon felt the feeling of something getting extracted.He was a bit uncomfortable as if someone was pulling out your blood essence and after this crazy feeling of loss subsided, Leon's eyes glow golden followed by an influx of certain information ringing in his head.
