The Seventh Base

Chapter 921: Chapter 10: Zero Knows

After a long while, Zero slowly turned around, and Xu Mo noticed that tears had already streaked down the corners of the girl’s eyes.

Her somewhat cold body snuggled into Xu Mo’s embrace, holding him tightly, her tears soaking his clothes.

“Xu Mo, let’s sleep together,” Zero said softly.

Her voice caused Xu Mo’s heart to tremble, and he felt a bit of heartache.

He naturally understood what Zero meant; perhaps the naive girl thought it was because she hadn’t slept with him yet.

“En, let’s sleep together.” Xu Mo lay down, holding the girl in front of him, using a slight force to secure her cold body tightly in his arms.

Zero didn’t resist either, letting Xu Mo hold her tightly, as if the two of them became one, inseparable.

It felt like a long time passed, and Zero fell asleep.

Xu Mo looked down at the perfect girl in his arms; her silver hair was slightly messy, and the tear marks at the corners of her eyes were still there, so beautiful it was heartbreaking.

“This silly girl…” Xu Mo said wordlessly, astonished that she could fall asleep like this.

Xu Mo’s eyes showed a doting smile as he quietly held the girl and soon fell asleep himself.

For the girl in his arms, Xu Mo’s fondness was pure and simple.

When Xu Mo woke up the next day, he found a pair of beautiful eyes watching him. Zero had already woken up but hadn’t moved, afraid of waking Xu Mo.

“How long have you been awake?” Xu Mo asked gently upon seeing Zero.

“Don’t remember,” Zero replied.

“Silly,” Xu Mo said, rubbing Zero’s head, thinking how the little demon became gentler and gentler, which was nice.

“Pfft…” Suddenly, there was a sharp pain below Xu Mo, and he looked at Zero with a pained expression, just praising her gentleness in his mind.

“You were pressing against me,” Zero said as she got up from the blanket, leaving the area, with a mischievous glint in her beautiful eyes. Did this guy think she’d let it go that easily?

Hmph!

He’s doomed.

Xu Mo showed an aggrieved expression, “It hurts.”

He really was naive.

This natural morning reaction, could he be blamed??

It seems like the little demon needs to be taught a lesson, and there’s plenty of time in the future to teach her properly.

After washing up, the two of them walked out of the room together and happened to run into Ye Qingdie.

Ye Qingdie looked at Xu Mo with a smiling expression. The two of them walking out from the room together, did they finally spend the night together?

However, Xu Mo was inexplicably a bit nervous and secretly glanced at Zero, who acted as if nothing had happened, calling out, “Sister Butterfly.”

“Zero, did you sleep well last night?” Sister Butterfly asked with a smile.

Zero knew that Ye Qingdie misunderstood, so she pinched Xu Mo’s waist hard, causing him to grit his teeth in pain.

Heh, women are all the same indeed.

“Xu Mo, I sorted out some Genetic Evolution Items for you to see,” Ye Qingdie said to Xu Mo, clearly having stayed up late to organize them last night.

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded, and the three of them went downstairs to discuss and select some Genetic Evolution Items. Apart from these selections, primarily some high-quality but side-effect-free common Genetic Evolution Items were used.

For example, those enhancing physical fitness, strengthening power, and boosting recovery ability, these are the most commonly used but can improve the overall quality of Transcendents.

The first step is to use them conservatively since they would certainly encounter stronger Genetic Evolution Items later on.

Moreover, they don’t have a lot of funds currently, and the price of SS-grade high-quality Genetic Evolution Items exceeds a billion Silver Star Coins.

After selecting, they directly placed an order on the large gene company’s platform. An hour later, a Flying Device arrived at the residence and personally delivered the Genetic Evolution Items they had picked.

“Miss Ye, here are the Genetic Evolution Items you selected. Inside are the usage instructions and precautions. Please read carefully,” the delivery person said politely to Ye Qingdie.

“Alright, thank you,” Ye Qingdie nodded.

“I hope it will be helpful to you and your friends,” the person said courteously, then left while Ye Qingdie brought the alloy case to Xu Mo, opened it, and inside were Gene Evolution Items prepared for everyone.

“Captain Ye, these two SS-grade Genetic Evolution Items, one is for enhancing physical fitness, and the other is for boosting recovery ability. You can use them directly, and they have no side effects. The usage instructions are here.” Xu Mo handed the two Genetic Evolution Items to Ye Huan and said, “As for Combat Skills, we’ll handle it later.”

“Hmm, no rush,” Ye Huan replied, accepting them without being polite.

Then Xu Mo distributed them to the other people too.

Finally, he took out a separate SS-grade gene liquid and said, “This one also enhances physical fitness, but for us at the S-level, the reaction might be too strong, and we might not endure it. However, this Genetic Evolution Liquid can be diluted for use. Nuolin, Hans, let’s try using it together.”

Although diluting it would waste some of its efficacy, it’s considered a rather extravagant act, but to improve, they couldn’t worry about extravagance.

But, for the gene repair liquid, a higher level can be used because it has no side effects, and the body won’t be overwhelmed. He bought several SS-grade ones.

This way, they’ve spent over half of their funds in one go.

Once everyone received their Genetic Evolution Items, they each used them.

Xu Mo injected the gene recovery liquid into his body, and he could immediately feel the changes within, his cells seemed more active, with immediate effects.

He took out a dagger and made a cut on his arm, blood flowing out, yet he saw the skin on his arm healing rapidly before his eyes, and before long, it had healed.

“Such strong effects,” Xu Mo marveled. This powerful recovery ability can be life-saving at critical moments. As long as he wasn’t instantly killed by a hit to a fatal spot, his body functions could quickly recover, with obvious advantages.

“Zero, have you ever been injured?” Xu Mo asked, seeing Zero looking at him from the side.

“Mm,” Zero nodded.

“Does it heal quickly?” Xu Mo asked.

“Quickly,” Zero replied. Xu Mo pulled her hand over, rolled up Zero’s sleeve, kind of wanting to try, but seeing her flawless skin, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

However, this flawless skin should also possess strong recovery ability, just that he hadn’t noticed before.

By evening, Xu Mo dripped the gene enhancement liquid into the swimming pool to dilute it, and the pool became scalding, as if boiling. Xu Mo jumped in directly and began absorbing.

Soon, Xu Mo felt his whole body was burning hot, as if on fire. He used the Recovery Liquid first, and then this, just in case.

Moments later, Xu Mo’s entire body turned red, his internal organs felt ablaze, continuously making noises, yet he endured.

“It should be fine; you guys come down,” Xu Mo said to Hans and Nuolin.

Hans stepped in directly. Nuolin hesitated but also followed in. The three of them occupied different positions, and soon Hans and Nuolin began making hoarse sounds, like struggling to endure.

“The effect is strong,” Ye Qingdie observed from the side, thinking that if she entered, her physical fitness might not withstand it.

Xu Mo, Hans, and Nuolin soaked in the pool all night. The following day, the medicine’s effects were finally exhausted, and the three climbed out.

Hans stretched his arm, clenched his fist, and said, “The effect is strong; my strength seems to have increased.”

He could perceive it directly.

“Bang!”

With a step on the ground, Hans’s body shot into the sky and then landed back on the ground, saying, “The explosive power has also improved. Indeed, it’s an enhancement item; the physical fitness has improved significantly.”

He felt like he had undergone a transformation overnight.

“We’re in the Imperial Realm, but we’re using the Evolution Liquid of the Absolute Level, so the effects are, of course, strong,” Nuolin said. Although it was diluted, for their level, it was still enough.

“Let’s go back and digest it,” Xu Mo said, clearly feeling a significant enhancement in his strength. The price of Genetic Evolution items is expensive, and for good reason, with immediate and noticeable effects.

Overnight, his power increased significantly.
