Xia Chujian looked at the pill with distaste, muttered to herself, carefully broke off a small piece, smelled it first, and then put it in her mouth.
She had no reaction after slowly swallowing it.
Then she swallowed the second piece, and finally ate all the remaining pills.
Ten minutes passed, and she still had no reaction.
Gu Shanjun looked at her eagerly and said, "Do you feel any changes in your body? Do you feel hot all over? And very irritable?"
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and said regretfully, "Really nothing, just that this medicine is too bitter."
Gu Shanjun disagreed: "Let's test your gene activity again."
Generally speaking, the gene activity of Gene Evolvers will increase exponentially after taking this medicine.
People whose genes have not evolved can actually try it too.
Before the age of eighteen, theoretically, it may catalyze natural gene mutations.
However, this kind of herb is very rare, and even Nobles before the age of eighteen have no chance to come into contact with it.
Xia Chujian was the first.
But unfortunately, it still had no effect on her.
Gu Shanjun saw the gene data detected, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and said, "Your genes seem to be more stable."
According to the gene activity measured by the gene sequencer, before taking this pill, her gene activity was infinitely close to zero.
After taking the medicine, her gene activity was like giving up on herself, directly sinking to the zero mark and not moving.
"Your genes are probably the most stable in the entire Beichen Empire..." Gu Shanjun muttered in complaint, and sent the results to the headquarters of the Dark Night Hunter Association of Beichen Star.
The people at the headquarters were also speechless after looking at the comparison of these two data.
How could there be such a strange thing? Such stable human genes are extremely rare among tens of billions of Lowly People.
But the person who said he would give Xia Chujian another reward looked at the two sets of data for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand lightly, as good as his word.
He said, "Give her a set of the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha that the Association just got."
Gu Shanjun was also taken aback when he heard the decision of the headquarters.
But he quickly understood the intention of the headquarters, and said to Xia Chujian with a smile: "Since that herb is useless to you, the Association has decided to give you another Rank S reward."
After a pause, he said with some envy and a smile: "This reward is really more than Rank S merit."
Xia Chujian muttered: "...More than Rank S merit? What is it? I may not even want it..."
"You may not even want it?" Gu Shanjun asked in surprise, and quickly opened the Shao Siming Mecha link sent by the headquarters.
In the blink of an eye, a set of black armor flashing with silver light, both beautiful and sassy, appeared on the holographic 3D virtual display screen in front of him.
"Are you interested in this? - This is a Royal Family Mecha product! Limited sale! The famous Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha!"
Xia Chujian glanced at it, and was immediately extremely disappointed: "Mecha? Are you serious? - I have shed blood for the Association, and I have made contributions to the Association, and you only give me a Mecha?"
"You're not satisfied with a Mecha?!" Gu Shanjun really didn't expect Xia Chujian to react like this, his eyes almost popped out.
Xia Chujian nodded and said unhappily, "How can I be satisfied?"
"Those holographic 3D advertisements that often float around the streets of Mulan City are all this kind of customized personal Mecha."
"They look majestic and stand tall, often five or six meters high, and you need a villa at home to place these bulky things."
"The total area of the utility room I rent is probably less than ten square meters, so tell me, what do I want it for?"
"Also, just a power stick to drive the Mecha, selling me and my aunt together wouldn't be enough to buy it..."
"For me, if this isn't a burden, then what is?"
In Xia Chujian's heart, calling it a burden was still light, she felt that this was simply "one man's meat, is another man's poison"! She frowned and continued to complain: "That's it? That's it? Really don't even ask me? Is Rank S merit going to be forced on me?"
Gu Shanjun: "!!!"
So that's how it is! Because Gu Shanjun turned on the instant holographic communication system, the headquarters could also hear what Xia Chujian said here.
At the beginning, her reaction of not taking the famous Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha seriously stunned the people at the headquarters.
But after she finished complaining, they understood.
She simply didn't know that the difference between mechas could be greater than the difference between humans and animals! The person who suggested giving Xia Chujian a mecha was the first to react, a smile on his lips, as he said to Gu Shanjun on the headquarters' encrypted communication channel, "...she's probably only seen the regular Rank S and below mechas from Zong Military Industries, and might not know what a Shao Siming mecha produced by the Royal Family is. You should... show her a promotional video."
He had originally wanted Gu Shanjun to explain, but on second thought, it would be better for Xia Chujian to watch the promotional video herself.
Someone at headquarters complained, "Guiyuan Star is so backward! What kind of stuff are they promoting?"
"The black silver Shao Siming mecha, produced by the Royal Family, probably even the governor there hasn't had a chance to see one. No wonder..."
Gu Shanjun's eyes darted around, and he also thought showing a promotional video was a great idea.
He chuckled as he opened another link, and handed Xia Chujian a special holographic headset, saying, "Put this on, and I'll show you what a black silver Shao Siming mecha is!"
Xia Chujian noncommittally took it, crossed her arms, and stood in front of Gu Shanjun's desk, patiently watching the promotional video.
The promotional video displayed on the holographic 3D virtual screen was so immersive that you could experience it with the naked eye.
Not to mention with the accompanying holographic headset.
This headset allowed her to log into the virtual world and experience firsthand what a black silver Shao Siming mecha was!
Xia Chujian put on the holographic headset with some skepticism, watching the Shao Siming mecha promotional video with a hint of doubt.
As soon as she put it on, she found that her surroundings had changed.
It was no longer the high-end office of the Dark Night Hunter Association's Mulan City branch, but a dilapidated city like an ancient ruin.
The light was clear yet dim, the color of iron and blood.
There were skyscrapers hundreds of stories high, as well as cramped, sewage-filled, dilapidated alleys that could only accommodate one person.
The high-rise buildings were severely damaged, and the facades were covered with moss and various plants.
The once concrete road was mottled and broken, with one large pit after another everywhere.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, as if it had just rained, and the potholes on the road were filled with yellow mud.
Standing there, Xia Chujian seemed to be able to smell the cool breeze carrying the metallic scent of iron in the air.
Suddenly, a girl leaped out of an alley, brushing past her.
"Stop! Don't run!"
"Catch her!"
Behind her in the alley, a large group of men followed, howling as they chased the girl forward.
As soon as they ran out of the alley, their speed suddenly increased.
Xia Chujian could see that it was not a speed that ordinary people could achieve, but Gene Evolvers! There were even a few people transforming, and it turned out there were Humanoids among them.
Seeing that they were about to catch up with the girl, the girl suddenly stopped and turned to face the group of men.
"Looks like I have to get serious."
The girl's voice was clear and crisp, with a smile, and she suddenly stretched out a hand, palm open, revealing a small black silver hollow ball in her tender white palm.
Then she flicked her finger, tapping the top of the small ball.
A flash of silver light passed, as if triggering some mechanism, and black silver liquid immediately flowed out of the small ball, quickly enveloping the girl's entire body.
It was as if she was wearing a black silver soft armor.
But this soft armor was very tight, covering her from head to toe.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the soft armor became hard and solidified, majestic and awe-inspiring, like a suit of battle armor, exuding a dignified yet agile aura.
The helmet was not the usual round shape, but like a mask from ancient books.
The front of the helmet seemed to wear a small phoenix crown, and the
Those men chasing her all looked up at the sky, and just as they were dazzled, the girl fell from the sky like a meteorite.
A long blade of the same material as her mecha appeared in her hand, and she swung it heavily at the leading man.
The man didn't panic either, and immediately raised his fist to meet it, but the next moment, the man let out an earth-shattering wail, his entire arm was chopped off by the girl's blade!
With that force, if the blade were moved forward half an inch, probably half of his shoulder would have been chopped off...
Xia Chujian watched with delight, her eyes sparkling with brilliance.
She finally understood, and her heart was beating especially fast.
Before the promotional video finished, she took off the holographic glasses and asked nervously, "What is the power source for this Shao Siming mecha?"
Gu Shanjun: "..."
He didn't know, so he had to secretly ask Su Buyan, the chief designer of the Shao Siming mecha, on the headquarters' encrypted communication channel.
Su Buyan told him that the Shao Siming mecha had two power sources.
One was very efficient and needed to be purchased directly. An efficient energy block could provide full power for three years, and the price was 100,000 Beichen Coins per block.
The second was cheaper, but not as efficient as the first. It was solar charging.
One charge required a full day and night, and it could only guarantee three days of full power.
After Gu Shanjun told Xia Chujian, Xia Chujian's uneasy mood finally subsided.
She asked excitedly, "Can ordinary people use it?!"
Gu Shanjun laughed loudly: "You finally get it! Of course ordinary people can use this mecha!"
"Ordinary people are far behind Gene Evolvers in terms of physical fitness, but this mecha can make up for the physical gap between ordinary people and Gene Evolvers. And this kind of Shao Siming mecha can make the physical fitness of ordinary people comparable to that of Rank A Peak Evolvers!"
"So powerful?!" Xia Chujian nodded immediately, her eyes full of light, "I want it! I want it!"
If she had this mecha today in front of that group of Humanoid Lowly People and Gene Evolvers, how could she have been almost beaten to death by them?! The most important thing is that such an awesome mecha can be charged with solar energy, although the battery life is not long, it is already very good for their poor people! After Gu Shanjun praised her, he reminded her: "However, it is only comparable in terms of physical fitness. And Mental Strength Rank A Peak Gene Evolvers are not only powerful in physical fitness. At their level, what is even more powerful is their Mental Strength."
"Ordinary people don't have Mental Strength, so even if they have a mecha, they can't really use it. It can only make you run faster and avoid these Gene Evolvers in advance."
Xia Chujian was very surprised and said, "Can't this mecha defend against Mental Strength attacks? Doesn't our Association have Ability Defense Helmets? That helmet can defend against Rank B Peak Mental Strength attacks!"
Gu Shanjun: "..."
Why is this girl so annoying!
She doesn't say anything, but when she does, she stabs people in the heart!
He said sullenly, "This mecha is made of black silver material, do you know what black silver is?"
Xia Chujian shook her head.
She is an out-and-out academic scum, her chemistry and physics grades always compete for the bottom in her many exams, and they are equally bad.
Gu Shanjun explained patiently: "Black silver is not a conventional metal, but a special metal discovered in outer space in recent years. It has very good ductility and toughness."
"More importantly, its melting point is very peculiar. It can be melted by stimulating it with a certain voltage, and it can also be solidified into the most solid defense by changing the voltage! So it is very suitable for making mechas, but the most unfortunate thing is that this metal cannot defend against Mental Strength attacks at all."
Gu Shanjun continued: "And the Association's Ability Defense Helmet is made of a kind of alien metal."
"In terms of material properties, alien metals are far superior to special metals. Because the atomic arrangement inside that alien metal allows it to resist Mental Strength attacks, but it cannot be extended and cannot be freely retracted. It can be used to make conventional mechas, but it is not suitable for making this kind of high-level deformable mecha."
Xia Chujian understood.
Xia Chujian's mind turned quickly, and she asked, "Does this mecha only come with a long blade? Can I replace it with a sniper rifle? An Assault Rifle is also fine, or at least add a long-magazine pistol?"
She looked at Gu Shanjun expectantly, revealing her desire for powerful thermal weapons: "I've seen those bulky mechas in advertisements that can't be deformed, and they can carry heavy ion cannons and stuff..."
Gu Shanjun: "..."
Why does this little girl have so many ideas! He said with a straight face: "Do you think we haven't thought about it? Those conventional mechas below Rank S, although they can't be deformed, are huge and clumsy, they are made of alloys smelted from conventional metals and special metals, and their melting points are very high, so they can carry any thermal weapons."
"But for black silver material, the heat energy required for thermal weapons is too great, and it is not compatible with black silver material!"
...
It's the first day of March, treasure, take out your guaranteed monthly tickets!
The second update will be at 1 pm.
PS: Did some book friends confuse Blood Kirin and Kong Sang? Blood Kirin grows ten plants a year in the Exotic Beast Forest, and Kong Sang needs one million Blood Kirin to have one symbiotic plant. So Blood Kirin can grow every year, but Kong Sang cannot. If you are confused, you can read it again from the beginning. (#^.^#) PS again: Shao Siming comes from Qu Yuan's "Chu Ci·Nine Songs" and is an ancient god.
