“Xiao Chen, you’re amazing!”

“Son, champion, you’re the champion again!”

“Captain is fucking awesome!!!”

“Holy shit, that’s just too crazy. Those top students from First High, Second High, and Third High have all been beaten by Zi Chen until they’re doubting their life choices, now they must be utterly heartbroken.”

“After five years, our Shanhai High School has finally lifted the championship trophy once again.”

Several months later, during the summer vacation of his first year in high school.

The city’s sports stadium.

The Shanhai City High School Martial Arts Exchange Competition.

Representing Shanhai High School in the competition, Lin Zichen dominated the martial stage, sweeping away any opponent with an unstoppable force.

Whenever it was his turn to fight, it was a quick kill every time.

And then, with effortless ease, he took the championship of the current tournament.

Such an exaggerated performance stunned his opponents, and exhilarated both his teammates and the fan group of friends and relatives.

After the competition.

Many local martial art gyms sought out Lin Zichen, stating they wanted to sign him as a spokesperson, and the price was negotiable.

He Yu’s family’s gym was among them.

Lin Zichen didn’t want to waste his time on these tedious matters, so he directed these people to discuss with Zhang Wanxin and Lin Yansheng.

As for the son, he just waited at home to collect the money.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

After gaining a detailed understanding.

In the end, Zhang Wanxin and Lin Yansheng chose the gym opened by He Yu’s family.

First, because He Yu was Lin Zichen’s desk mate, choosing his desk mate’s gym felt more reliable, and second, because the contract offered by He Yu’s family’s gym seemed most appropriate.

A few days later.

The prize money from the competition was distributed, and the upfront payment for the endorsement deal was also transferred.

Including the royalties saved over the past few months, he had amassed 900,000 yuan and could now go buy Stealth Dragon meat to consume and unlock the album to obtain biometric attributes.

Without further thought, Lin Zichen quickly headed to the shopping mall and asked Uncle Landlord to help him purchase 100 jin of Stealth Dragon meat to consume.

[You have consumed a large amount of “Stealth Dragon’s” life essence]

[Stealth Dragon Album: 100%]

At the moment the text message appeared, a crystal-clear lizard began to emerge in the void.

This lizard was lying on the ground motionless, reducing its vitality to diminish its presence as a way to avoid the Ferocious Great Eagle that was hunting from the sky above.

Soon, the scene in the void faded away, replaced by two new text messages.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

[You have successfully unlocked the Stealth Dragon Album, gaining the biometric attribute — Natural Camouflage]

[Natural Camouflage: You can reduce your vitality to diminish your own presence, and use it to conceal your biological level]

After reading the text in the information, Lin Zichen felt a little excited.

This biometric attribute actually has two effects!

One: It reduces presence, which can be used for evading enemies or for launching surprise attacks.

Two: It conceals the biological level, allowing for deceiving stronger opponents by lowering their guard before striking.

After spending a little time experiencing the Natural Camouflage’s attribute effect.

Lin Zichen quickly started wandering around in the Exotic Beast Meat Sale Area.

Looking for the next Exotic Beast Album to unlock.

After a stroll, he finally settled on the meat of an Exotic Beast that was extremely expensive, costing 20,000 yuan per jin — the Void Eel.

The Void Eel, an exotic beast with a very powerful danger perception ability, extremely sensitive to malice from other creatures, is rarely captured by hunters.

Lin Zichen took a fancy to the Void Eel’s ability to perceive danger and decided to unlock its album.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

However, the meat’s price was 20,000 yuan per jin, and he needed to save up 2 million yuan to unlock the album.

A long journey ahead.

Shaking his head, Lin Zichen left the mall and headed for home.

On his way, he passed by a bar.

Lin Zichen saw a few Mechanically Modified Humans grabbing a woman and dragging her out of the bar.

The woman’s body was pierced with various cylindrical hard objects, making her look very weak, hardly able to walk steadily, having to be propped up by the arms of two mechanically modified humans.

Lin Zichen paid no attention to the woman, his gaze fixed directly on those cylindrical hard objects.

They were the size of rebar.

They appeared to be made of a special alloy material.

If he wasn’t mistaken, they should be some form of high-tech restraining tool.

They’re similar to handcuffs and leg chains, tools used to restrict a prisoner’s movement.

“Zi Chen? What a coincidence!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

At that moment, one of the mechanically modified humans, a young man with a buzz cut, called out to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen followed the voice and his face revealed a hint of surprise.

The one who called him was actually a senior from his junior high martial arts team.

It was Zhang Kai, the one who, after failing to get into high school, became a ghost flame youth with dyed hair, racing cars everywhere, and then accidentally fell and had his legs amputated.

Zhang Kai had since shaved off his colorful, ghost flame hairstyle and returned to the buzz cut he had in junior high.

The most significant change was that the lower half of his body now sported metallic alloy limbs.

It was rare to bump into each other on the street, and the two quickly struck up a conversation.

Afterward, Lin Zichen learned that Zhang Kai had undergone mechanical modification experiments with the MechGod Group after the despairing accident where he had his legs amputated due to a bike crash.

As it turned out, it was a blessing in disguise; the experiments MechGod Group conducted on him were very successful, transforming him from a disabled person into a mechanically modified human.

Now, he was interning in the mechanical modification team at MechGod Group.

“You might not believe me, but these alloy mechanical legs that might look a bit cheap allow me to run a hundred meters under five seconds, which is more badass than many top scholars!”

Zhang Kai pointed at his alloy prosthetics, boasting proudly to Lin Zichen.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“A hundred meters in five seconds, that’s really impressive,” Lin Zichen nodded in admiration but inwardly, he was skeptical.

Top scholars are high school students, unprocessed quality seedlings; it’s only after going to the university and undergoing Genetic Fusion that one can witness their true strength.

After a brief conversation about alloy prosthetics,

Lin Zichen thought of the woman from earlier and curiously asked Zhang Kai, “By the way, Zhang Kai, I saw you guys taking a woman out of the bar just now. Who was she?”

Zhang Kai quickly replied, “That woman is a remnant of the Rat God Cult, the only female among those nine remnants.”

“We’ve been pursuing her for a long time. She secretly underwent plastic surgery and hid herself well; it wasn’t easy to catch her.

Speaking, Zhang Kai waggled his eyebrows sleazily, “Let me tell you, before joining the Rat God Cult, she had quite an interesting identity, was a female college student who could fly across the entire country.”

Just as he finished speaking and seemed about to divulge more, a mechanically modified human urged him forward,

“Zhang Kai, stop chatting, let’s go!”

“Coming!”

Zhang Kai responded and then turned to Lin Zichen, saying, “We’ll talk more when there’s time. I’m off.”

“Sure, we’ll catch up later.”

After watching Zhang Kai leave, Lin Zichen took out his phone, intending to look up some news related to the MechGod Group.

As soon as he opened the news app, he saw reports about a well-known building in the city that had sunk, with residents suffering greatly and protesting, angrily denouncing the developers for not laying a proper foundation, sparking widespread social concern.

Lin Zichen wasn’t interested in this news and only glanced at it before moving on to search for news related to MechGod Group.

Subsequently, he saw two recent news reports.

One was about a mechanical genius girl who had become disabled due to premature mechanical modification, which MechGod Group successfully treated and turned into the group’s brand ambassador.

There were related photos to see; she was a pretty girl.

The only drawback was that over 40% of the girl’s body had undergone mechanical modification, and she looked almost like a half-human robot.

Lin Zichen felt it was a pity.

At her age, a girl’s skin is at its most delicate, yet nearly half her body had turned into cold steel.

Shaking his head, he clicked on another report to browse through.

It was about how all nine remnants of the Rat God Cult had been captured by MechGod Group’s mechanical modification team and transferred to the security forces.

After reading this report, Lin Zichen had one thought—MechGod Group’s power far surpassed that of the local security forces; it was a colossal entity.
