"Gene Master schools?" Feng Lin became interested and clicked on the content to start reading.
"A Gene Master is an expert in the field of genetics, studying the mysteries of genetic evolution and applying them to develop countless genetic marvels. Based on their methods of application, they are divided into many schools, with four being the most prevalent..." A holographic projection displayed an old man with a white beard, exuding a strong scholarly aura, speaking in a measured tone.
Feng Lin listened attentively, gaining a lot of common knowledge about Gene Masters.
Even among Gene Masters, there were numerous schools, with the four most widely known being Gene Pharmacists, Gene Martial Artists, Gene Weapon Masters, and Gene Armor Masters.
Gene Pharmacists studied the principles of genetically modifying the human body, concocting miraculous potions that could transform a person, enhance cultivation speed, and refine genes.
Gene Martial Artists, on the other hand, researched the evolutionary relationships between mythical genes, seeking new genetic evolution paths and creating innovative techniques.
Gene Weapon Masters took a different approach, primarily developing the extraordinary abilities of genes, then imitating the characteristics of mythical weapons to forge arms that could maximize the potential of genetic abilities. For example, interstellar humans had already replicated several legendary weapons: the Heaven-Overturning Seal from Chinese mythology that suppressed the primordial chaos, the Longinus Spear from Christianity that pierced Jesus, and Thor's Hammer from Norse mythology that commanded boundless lightning...
The last school, Gene Armor Masters, was a newly emerging branch of Gene Masters, but once it appeared, it quickly became popular and spread across the entire galaxy.
Gene Armor Masters originally started as a subfield of Gene Weapon Masters, using genetic abilities to forge defensive armor.
However, with the advent of mechas, Gene Armor Masters evolved with the times, officially breaking away from Gene Weapon Masters. They abandoned cold weapon forging and instead combined cutting-edge technology to create genetic mechas, establishing an independent school with a large following.
Of course, genetic abilities were incredibly diverse, and their applications extended beyond these four schools. There were also Gene Gu Masters, Gene Hypnotists, Gene Doctors... and many other schools, each with its own unique wonders, with no absolute hierarchy of superiority.
But undoubtedly, these four genetic schools were the most prevalent.
The knowledge of Gene Masters was vast and profound, with each school having its own distinct theories, forming a complex and esoteric discipline akin to a celestial tome, creating significant barriers to entry.
This made every genetic marvel extremely expensive, often with no market availability.
Giant Pharmaceutical relied on producing genetic potions as its main source of profit, a venture that was virtually a one-for-a-thousand gain.
After finishing the tutorial on Gene Master schools, Feng Lin casually clicked on another one: "Gene Pharmacist Concoction Techniques!"
This was an explanation of the techniques used by Gene Pharmacists to mix potions.
Feng Lin had only simulated the process of mixing potions once in the virtual universe and had never actually done it himself.
He was well aware of his shortcomings—he didn't lack genetic theory, but his hands-on ability was indeed a weak point that needed urgent improvement.
Feng Lin watched with even greater focus than before.
These tutorials were free genetic knowledge provided by Giant Pharmaceutical. Although they were just basic常识, they were inaccessible elsewhere.
Knowledge was priceless!
Regardless of the salary, just this benefit alone made Feng Lin feel that coming to Giant Pharmaceutical was a great deal, as it could fill the biggest gap in his knowledge system.
The more he learned about Gene Masters, the clearer the path for his future became in his mind.
Interstellar cultivators as the main focus, with Gene Masters as a supplement.
Cultivator genetic evolution was a transformation of life's essence, a path toward transcendence and sainthood, offering infinite possibilities—longevity, immortality... even eternal life.
This was the foundation, and he couldn't put the cart before the horse.
Gene Masters, on the other hand, studied the mysteries of genes and explored the truths of the universe. While they couldn't inherently enhance one's life level, they could use external aids to assist human evolution.
With interstellar cultivators as the primary and Gene Masters as the secondary, advancing together, he could make his future path smoother.
Feng Lin's current vitality was 3.3, and with his developed brain, his memory and intelligence were superhuman. He quickly finished browsing these Gene Master tutorials, storing them all in his memory.
Without taking a break, he began his unyielding daily cultivation.
Giant Pharmaceutical was wealthy, providing Giant-A type nutrient fluid, a high-grade nutrient fluid produced by the company itself.
With this free benefit, Feng Lin naturally wouldn't waste his own. He drank it down and felt its effects were different from the Green God-3 nutrient fluid he had consumed before.
The Giant-A type nutrient fluid had higher caloric content. Once inside his body, his muscles felt a swelling sensation as if they had taken a potent tonic, accompanied by a faint ache.
It seemed this high-grade nutrient fluid had more protein content, focusing more on strengthening the physique and increasing strength.
Unfortunately, after downing a bottle of high-grade nutrient fluid and absorbing all that nutrition, Feng Lin didn't feel much fullness. It seemed that as his vitality increased, these ordinary items were becoming less effective for him.
For true interstellar cultivators, these would likely lose all effect, becoming no different from plain water.
No wonder cultivation resources were so sought after—they were what interstellar cultivators truly used to enhance themselves, with demand far outstripping supply.
Feng Lin took out a bottle of life potion. This wasn't a low-grade mechanically synthesized potion, nor was it the high-grade life potion concocted by Gene Masters costing over 10,000 star coins. It was an ordinary manually mixed potion, priced at twice the cost of mechanical synthesis—exactly 2,000 star coins.
He drank it down, and his face immediately contorted in pain. It felt like a ball of fire was burning in his stomach, spreading through every part of his body, causing excruciating agony.
As expected of a life potion costing 2,000 star coins per bottle, its potency was much stronger than the 1,000-star coin version. He felt as if all his organs were being crushed and then rapidly reassembled.
This kind of pain from destruction and rebirth could drive a person mad, but Feng Lin had gradually adapted to it after multiple uses of life potions.
The richer the nutrition, the more genetic potential was converted.
Genetic potential +20%, +19%, +18%...
Feng Lin's potential soared, quickly breaking through the 700% mark, reaching as high as 789%, granting him seven free gene points.
His vitality also rose steadily, with effects far surpassing before. His vitality of 3.3 kept increasing—3.4, 3.5, 3.6...
Earlier, Feng Lin had noticed that the effects of lower-grade life potions were diminishing. After repeated use, his body had developed resistance.
But this new type of life potion didn't have that drawback.
Feng Lin's vitality jumped by 0.4, reaching 3.7.
He let out a deep breath. Previously, to rapidly strengthen himself, he had overused gene points in one go, draining too much vitality. Now, he was finally making up for it.
It felt like the relief of finally paying off a long-overdue massive debt.
With one more such cultivation session, Feng Lin estimated his vitality would break through 4. Once the overdrawn vitality was fully replenished, he could continue strengthening his genes.
And the free gene points were already prepared, allowing him to instantly max out the Stone Embryo Gene. Then, he could attempt to evolve it.
The hope of becoming a genetic cultivator was right before his eyes, not far off!
Feng Lin's eyes were filled with anticipation.
After finishing his cultivation, he checked the time and found it was already dawn.
Having stayed up all night, Feng Lin felt no fatigue. The increase in vitality left him brimming with energy, fully invigorated.
After a quick wash, the doorbell rang right on time.
Feng Lin took a deep breath, steeled his spirit, and adjusted his body to its optimal state.
The first day of work had begun!
