Chapter 1002: Gene 2

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Demon Kings were the top-notch modifiers within the three main Energy Machinist cities. Their genetic qualities would determine their physical strength and natural abilities. Moreover, these qualities were also crucial factors that would influence their combat abilities.

“It seems that I’m currently in a state of being half a modified human and half of an Energy Machinist,” said Garen while examining himself. “As for being an Energy Machinist, the strength of my physical fitness is not the most important factor because it only affects my combat abilities. However, the vital elements are my computing powers and Secret Technique levels. These are the crucial factors that will determine whether I will be able to break through the Inherited Level.”

After letting his thoughts roam about for a while, Garen continued to be wholly absorbed in his own Genetic Pane. Once he had successfully broken through the Blood Eagle, he would undergo a huge breakthrough within his combat abilities as well. Although he would not be able to break through the environment, this occurrence would help him tremendously nonetheless. After all, it represented the combat abilities of the Inherited Level.

“Again!”

He gritted his teeth and continued to smash his remaining potential points towards his Genetic Pane.

His potential points made gurgling noises as they decreased from their initial twenty points and fell quickly to more than ten points. It continued decreasing to eighteen, sixteen, fourteen, twelve, ten... eight... six... four...!

His Genetic Pane finally paused at this moment. It was no longer in a state of blurriness anymore. Instead, it transferred a series of information to Garen.

‘Insufficient potential points.’

“Insufficient potential points?!”

Only then did Garen realize that he merely had single digits worth of potential points left. Meanwhile, his Genetic Pane...

He took a deep breath. He had already paid such a heavy price in exchange this time but had yet to find the Staff of Absolute Yin until now. He did not know how long he would have to wait before he could absorb potential points again. In other words, excluding his slightly improved regenerative abilities, he did not have any advantages over the other prodigious Energy Machinists. Moreover, it was uncertain that he was better than the actual prodigies. After all, he relied on potential points to forcefully increase his Intelligence.

Garen suppressed the somewhat fluctuating emotions in his mind before shifting his line of vision towards his Genetic Pane.

“White Night, are you going to the gathering tomorrow? I heard that high-level senior brothers and sisters will be there to explain the key focal points of the Scarlet Snow Technique’s first three grades, as well as certain physical states that will appear and matters that we should focus on.”

Within the base, a white-haired youth who looked indifferent had his hands crossed behind his head as he looked out the window. He was looking at the shadow of a smart Flying Ship outside that was constantly transporting goods automatically. Despite the sound of his roommate’s question echoing beside him, it seemed as though he had not heard it at all.

“Ignore him, this thing is starting to daydream again,” said another one of his roommates who was acting normally despite this strange sight.

“There’s something wrong with him! Really, we’ll just discuss it on our own then.”

The other two people chatted leisurely while minding their own business and arranged their itinerary for the next day.

Scarlet Snow Sect was a major sect within the Northern Yu Province that had forcibly occupied one-third of its domain. It was a colossus in reality as well as in name. There were more than thirteen civilian countries that were the subordinates under its jurisdiction while its territory had an area of a few hundred square kilometers. Its headquarters were located on one of the peaks of the Northern Yu Province’s two tall mountains here. Simultaneously, it was also the central district of its territory that spanned more than a million square kilometers.

White Night had come here through the interstellar teleportation point to seek emerging opportunities for his household. This place was a haven for Energy Machinists because the highest grades of important Energy Machinists were located in the starry region near here.

He would only be able to learn the strongest Energy Machinist techniques.

The principles of the Scarlet Snow Sect dictated the survival of the fittest and unconstrained competition. There was a highly intelligent production line within the sect while the various materials for daily life were constantly delivered back here by the disciples on the outside. Therefore, the Energy Machinists that joined this group did not need to rush about for their lives as they would receive sufficient food, drink, and basic practicing materials every month.

However, the entire sect was separated into three levels which were One Hearted, Two Hearted, and Three Hearted. The three different types of disciples received different remunerations while the difference between the treatments of the disciples in the middle was the greatest. Hence, the final goal of every disciple was to constantly upgrade their remunerations.

White Night’s emotions fluctuated constantly. Although the Scarlet Snow Technique of Scarlet Snow Sect was not the most incredible skill, it corresponded best with his own clan’s technique. Since he did not dare to draw on his clan’s technique, the Scarlet Snow Technique that corresponded with it the most was the only way for him to constantly improve while going forward.

“I’m a top-notch prodigy that only appears once every hundred years in my clan! Despite being in a foreign land, a person like me would still be able to climb to the peak!” White Night clenched his fists slightly and took a deep breath as though he was suppressing the irritable feelings in his heart.

As new disciples, there were a few paths they could take if they desired to receive additional income and increase their remunerations.

First of all, they could constantly accept quests like collecting materials and medicinal herbs, serving as guards and other manual labor jobs. There were various quests that they could accept. Most of the quests that rewarded the lower ranking disciples with higher incentives were certain additional quests such as requests for workshop helpers. These quests were sent here by the other sects outside the Northern Yu Province. There would usually be huge fluctuations between the rewards but these were good channels to become famous easily.

The Scarlet Snow Technique possessed a special type of cold air. This cold air had a certain difference compared to natural cold air. Therefore, it was typically used in the manufacturing process of various frost-type Energy Machinery.

Upper-middle level Energy Machinists would never trouble themselves with tasks like purely releasing cold air because the remunerations were too little. However, these rewards were more than just menial remunerations to the lower ranking disciples.

Secondly, they could also visit the other major Two Hearted Peak Masters and serve as temporary helpers to coordinate experiments and assist with computing.

When they were lacking time, certain Peak Masters would subcontract the regular Energy Machinists to complete some of the computing processes that purely contained recurring patterns. These subcontracts would require the participation of large numbers of low-level Energy Machinists. Moreover, they were regulated to check the calculations five times. There would also be extremely severe consequences if mistakes occurred. Therefore, it would consume a large amount of one’s mental and physical efforts.

Hence, the remunerations of these quests would naturally be much higher. The things that were freely discarded by the Two Hearted were sufficient for the One Hearted Disciples to consume for a very long time.

Thirdly, the next quest option was maintenance work. There were various intelligent Energy Machinery devices within the interior of the base that required maintenance and replacements of new parts. This was a dirty task that only provided an average amount of remuneration but was very suitable for quiet Energy Machinists who did not like competing with each other for power.

The fourth option was continuous self-study and research to constantly bring up new supposition and conclusions to ponder about. As long as the conclusions of their experiments were valuable, they would receive rewards that corresponded with their levels. This path was specially reserved for computing prodigies and scholars because most people would not be able to do so...

White Night laid face up on his bed. Level One Energy Machinists like himself belonged to the lowest level of the sect.

Most of the places within the base had quiet environments. Other than the people outside who were meeting the new members, there was no one else to be seen except for some Flying Ships and Airships that were constantly shuttling back and forth.

Under the intelligent operations of the base, most of the disciples and members entered the Flying Ships and Airships to travel to different places. The residential areas were the only places that were livelier. These places were not within the base but were at the foot of the snowy peak of the major Peak Masters.

The main factor that attracted people to the snowy peak was the various subcontracts and quests with high remunerations. The Two Hearted Peak Masters special treatment and the beneficial radiation made many Energy Machinists feel that approaching the radioactive areas would help their training greatly.

Therefore, many One Hearted Disciples simply built their houses at the bottom of the large snowy peaks to ensure that they could snatch the subcontracted quests at the first instance.

The popularity of this place brought along many supporting facilities.

This caused various different markets, shops, vendors, stalls, trade fairs, and black markets to be gradually built there. There were numerous types of transaction methods as well. Moreover, the disciples of this sect were not the only ones that gathered here. On the contrary, most of them were merchants and vendors from the outside world. There were also banking institutions, various major trade alliances, and workshops among other things.

The One Hearted Disciples powerful consumption abilities spurred on the operations of the industrial chain. As one of the major sects, the resources that were occasionally leaked by the Scarlet Snow Sect were treasures that the normal people on the outside yearned for in their dreams.

Mech Pilots, aristocrats, and rich people all came here to buy houses. As time passed, a little town below the snowy peaks was formed.

This caused a strange phenomenon of a vibrant little city to form at the foot of the snowy peaks despite the quietness of the interior of the base.

“I need the White Melted Crystal to upgrade my clan’s technique. Although most of them are very cheap here, I still require a lot of Spar Stones. Since there are so many little snowy peak towns within the Scarlet Snow Sect, I need to find a place that’s the most suitable for me to earn some money,” analyzed White Night mentally. “The remuneration for subcontracted quests are very high but I doubt that I can snatch these quests from those people. As a member of the Gideon clan, I don’t have to fear any low-temperature environments. I’m also the prodigy with the purest lineage within my clan throughout the last one hundred years and I should be able to rush to a higher level quickly while practicing the Scarlet Snow Technique. However, the people here don’t know about the reputation of the Gideon clan. Therefore, I don’t think anyone will pay attention to me.”

His thoughts stirred continuously. As someone who had already achieved the Level Two Energy Machinist standard within his clan’s technique, it would not be difficult for him to earn money. He would only need to decide on a method to do it.

“I think that it would be better to go to Red Sand Peak because Peak Master Orel is currently charging towards the ninth grade of the Scarlet Snow Technique’s realm. Most of the simple information regarding the nurturing Energy Machine Imprint that he took over previously has been subcontracted now. Perhaps I’ll be able to get some of it when I look for my older brother later.”

“...Maybe I should go to Black Wolf Peak instead. I heard that Peak Master Garen of Black Wolf Peak has already agreed on the Decisive Battle Platform for the fight between himself and Supervisor Werder from the outside. He’ll definitely need to complete many computations. We should keep a watch there first because he might outsource quests,” analyzed one of his roommates on the side.

“Are you still going to the meeting at Falcon Peak?”

“I won’t go if I get a subcontracted quest,” answered his roommate right away. “I’m still planning to visit home for a while next month to get some money from my mother. The prices of the things here are too expensive. I only need fifty Universal Units in my hometown for a meal while one Spar Stone can last me for half a year. To think that we would need to use Spar Stones as units here. What a scam!”

“My father spent too much money just to send me here and my family isn’t as rich as yours. I’ll go look if there are any opportunities in the little town first.”

When White Night heard this, he turned around and got out of bed instantly. He saw that his two other roommates below him were currently holding a little desk lamp while circling and drawing on the calendar on the electronic screen.

He jumped off the bed and walked over to glance at them before discovering that various activities, gatherings, release dates of subcontracted quests, and seminars by Peak Masters were recorded on every date on the calendar.

“White Night, you’re awake?” Short-haired Blondie’s roommate glanced at White Night in a friendly manner. He had always felt a particular aura emitting from White Night and was certain that he was not an ordinary person.

“Which snowy peaks have a probability of outsourcing quests tomorrow?” White Night nodded in response while asking right away.

“There are fifteen snowy peak cities that will be announcing the quests that they will be outsourcing earlier on. Take a look, they’re all here,” said Short-haired Blondie as he passed the little book in his hand over to White Night.
