Chapter 604 - 591: Arrangements Before Departure

After Chang Yudar left, Zuo Wenya checked the time on his wrist-mounted computer.

"I should be heading out soon, too. Tomorrow, the academy will organize a trip for you to the 11th Abyssal Passage. Be careful when you get there. Even though you’ll be in the outer perimeter, anything can happen near an Abyssal Passage." Zuo Wenya looked at Lin Xinghai, his expression serious as he warned him.

"Yes, I understand." Lin Xinghai nodded seriously. He cherished his life, after all.

Besides, there was no need for him to risk his life right now. As long as he progressed step-by-step, he estimated he could reach the Divine Demon Realm in half a year at most. Anything that needed doing could wait until he was stronger.

Zuo Wenya looked at Lin Xinghai, and after confirming that he had truly taken his words to heart, he continued, "Also, I’ve specially requested a third-generation Gauss Rifle and 1,000 Depleted Uranium Armor-Piercing Rounds for you."

"These are the newest products from the Research Department, developed specifically to combat Mutated Zombies. They’re even capable of injuring Second Level Mutated Zombies. I’ll send you the pickup code in a moment; you can go collect them yourself."

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai was stunned for a moment, but a smile quickly spread across his face. "Thanks. In that case, I’ll gladly accept."

To be honest, with his current strength, taking on those Tier Two Mutated Zombies would still be a bit of a stretch.

Especially on a battlefield like that, it wasn’t always a one-on-one fight. Several Tier Two Mutated Zombies could appear in an instant. If they could coordinate with each other, even he wouldn’t be able to handle them easily.

But if this third-generation Gauss Rifle was really capable of injuring Second Level Zombies like Zuo Wenya said, then that was a different story.

For others, it might only be able to cause an injury, but with his Gun Technique, as long as he aimed for places like the eyes, an injury could become a fatal wound.

After giving his instructions, Zuo Wenya departed in a hurry.

As Lin Xinghai headed downstairs, he pondered, ’What else do I need to arrange?’

BANG!

The sound of a party popper suddenly went off, and countless bits of confetti fluttered down onto him.

Lin Xinghai, lost in thought, was startled. When he looked up, he saw a group of familiar faces.

Liu Miaomiao, Little Fatty, Jin Tong, Sun Tianbo, Xie Shanyong, Yan Feijie, Yuan Zheng, Hong Xiuyuan, Qiu Liang, Jiang Zijin, Qian Xingxiu, and more—all the students from the Xinghai Squad were gathered here.

"Boss, congrats on the breakthrough!" Little Fatty was the first to rush over, his face beaming with excitement.

Lin Xinghai raised an eyebrow. "How did you know I would break through?"

"Hehe, Boss, you’re practically a god in my eyes! A trivial thing like breaking through a realm is a piece of cake for you!" Little Fatty said with a grin.

Still, he had to ask in the end, "Boss, you’re in the Body Shaping Realm now, right?"

Lin Xinghai gave Little Fatty a sidelong glance. It was a difficult question to answer directly, so he could only say, "I did indeed have a successful breakthrough."

’As for which realm I broke through to, I have to keep that a secret for now.’

’Of course, it won’t be for long. I just need to wait for the Seed Plan Execution Department to announce the information about the Marrow Tempering Realm.’

Everyone instantly burst into cheers. Even Yan Feijie and the other Special Class Students were genuinely happy for Lin Xinghai at this moment.

Little Fatty was even more excited, saying, "It’s only been two months since school started, and you’ve already broken through to the Body Shaping Realm, Boss! You’ve set another record."

As he spoke, he opened his wrist-mounted computer. "I’ll post a congratulatory message for you right now and make the Xinghai Squad famous again!"

"Wait!" Lin Xinghai quickly stopped him. ’If he announces this now, it’ll be awkward for me later.’

"What’s wrong, Boss?" Little Fatty asked, a little confused.

Lin Xinghai thought for a moment before saying with a serious expression, "Alright, there’s something I can tell you guys in advance, but you absolutely must keep it a secret."

Hearing Lin Xinghai say this, everyone’s expressions instantly turned serious. They all had a feeling that what he was about to say was extremely important.

And as expected, Lin Xinghai’s very first sentence stunned many of them. "Our Cultivation System is going to undergo a massive change in the near future."

"The Cultivation System is changing?"

"Hasn’t that thing stayed the same for years? Why is it suddenly changing now?"

"Boss, what kind of change is it? Is it good or bad?"

Immediately, everyone started talking at once. A change to the Cultivation System was something that was closely related to every single one of them. Under these circumstances, it was easy to imagine their excitement.

Lin Xinghai raised a hand to signal for everyone to calm down before speaking. "Okay, first of all, I can tell you for certain that this new Cultivation System will not only allow humanity’s strength to soar, but it will also greatly increase your chances of reaching the Divine Demon Realm."

Everyone instantly grew excited. Even though they were all geniuses, the Divine Demon Realm was an unattainable dream for the vast majority of people.

"Boss, by how much will the probability increase?" Little Fatty immediately asked the question that was on everyone’s mind.

"By about 30%, I’d say!" Lin Xinghai estimated.

But his words left everyone stunned. They couldn’t quite believe what they had just heard.

Because breaking through to the Divine Demon Realm was simply too difficult. Even for geniuses like them, who had managed to get into East Sea Academy, the probability of a breakthrough was probably less than 1%.
