A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

Above the center of the lake.

The fat old man looked at Lin Yang unhappily and said, "Boy, are you sure you can catch more fish?"

"Senior, I'm not completely sure either, but I want to try again." Lin Yang replied.

Just now he received a tip from the robot and took the initiative to find the fat old man, saying that he wanted to catch a few fish as an apology.

The robot told him that the meat slices for fishing were only available from the fat old man.

The fat old man, who was originally angry, stopped venting his anger after hearing this and took him directly to the center of the lake.

However, the fat old man remained skeptical as to whether Lin Yang could still catch fish.

“Hmph, if you can really catch two more fish, I...well, I might consider forgiving you a little bit temporarily.” The fat old man said arrogantly.

"Senior, you are so magnanimous. I have no way to repay you." Lin Yang said directly, saying nice things.

"Here, go fishing."

The fat old man took out a small piece of meat, hung it on the fishhook, and gave the fishing rod to Lin Yang.

Lin Yang recalled what the system said when he went fishing last time, thought about his last state, and emptied his body and mind to feel the lake.

But this time he was not meditating like last time, but sitting cross-legged in meditation.

This was the method taught by the domestic masters that Ye Guhong had invited before.

It is an orthodox preaching technique in China.

Although meditation and sitting in meditation have similar effects, Lin Yang prefers the feeling of sitting in meditation.

The fat old man beside him was surprised to see Lin Yang sitting cross-legged in meditation. He couldn't help but ask, "Boy, is this how you fish?"

"Yes, senior." Lin Yang nodded without explaining too much.

Because he himself didn't know how to explain it.

"Did you fish like this last time?" the fat old man asked again.

Lin Yang nodded again.

Seeing this, the fat old man didn't ask any more questions, but looked up and down at Lin Yang curiously, with a gleam in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

As the fat old man fell silent and there was no external noise to disturb him, Lin Yang gradually got into the state.

After a few minutes, he entered a completely empty state again.

hum.

Similar to the last time, he felt like he had turned into a fish in the lake again, swimming happily.

Immediately afterwards, the fishing rod in his hand sank, and Lin Yang felt something in his heart, and subconsciously swung the rod to shore.

At the same time, open your eyes.

I saw a red-tailed goldfish on the fishhook, which was even bigger than the last one and was constantly twisting its body.

Lin Yang breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said to the fat old man: "Senior, I have fulfilled my mission!"

"..."

The fat old man was confused.

He stared blankly at Lin Yang and the red-tailed goldfish in Lin Yang's hand.

"Hey, you caught it already?"

The fat old man couldn't believe it.

His eyes swept back and forth between Lin Yang and the red-tailed goldfish, and he felt like he had seen a ghost.

The last time he tested Lin Yang, he was arguing with the silver-haired woman and didn't notice how Lin Yang caught the fish.

In the end it can only be attributed to Lin Yang's good luck.

But this time he was next to Lin Yang and witnessed the whole process.

It doesn't seem to make sense simply by luck!

"How... did you do that?" The fat old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He took a deep breath and asked slowly.

Lin Yang put the red-tailed goldfish into the fish basket and said, "I just sensed this lake and then the fish took the bait. As for the specific reason, I am not very clear."

"Sense the lake?"

The fat old man was a little surprised.

He immediately picked up the fishing rod and tried to start fishing according to Lin Yang's instructions and actions just now.

However, after an hour or two, there was no sign of catching any fish.

The fat old man was a little confused.

Lin Yang could always catch a fish in just a few minutes, but even if he used the same method and spent a lot more time, he still couldn't do it.

"Boy, are you sure that a fish will be caught just by sensing the lake?" The fat old man couldn't help asking.

"Yes, senior." Lin Yang replied.

"It's really strange. Let me see if you fish again." The fat old man muttered and handed the fishing rod to Lin Yang again.

Lin Yang went fishing again.

A few minutes later, another fish was caught.

But this time it was not a red-tailed goldfish, but a red fish that was fatter than the red-tailed goldfish.

The whole fish is red, even its whiskers are red.

"Red, Red Demon?"

The fat old man nearby exclaimed in surprise when he saw the red fish, and there was even a hint of shock in his eyes.

Then, without waiting for Lin Yang to reel in his rod, he grabbed Lin Yang's shoulders and brought him and the fish back to the training base.

"Senior, why are you back? Aren't you going to catch a few more?" Lin Yang was a little surprised.

He was planning to catch a few more fish to apologize to the old man.

Now that he had only caught two fish, the old man brought him back, which made him a little confused.

"No more fishing. You are a bit weird. You can't continue fishing, or something bad will happen."

The fat old man put away the red demon fish, his tone a little strange and solemn.

"Uh...what big deal can happen while fishing?" Lin Yang muttered.

"You... forget it. It's too troublesome to explain. You will understand it later. Anyway, you are not allowed to go fishing in the lake without my permission." The fat old man warned seriously.

"understood."

Although Lin Yang was puzzled, he did not ask any further questions.

That lake and those fish were obviously unusual. There must be some secret, but he was not yet advanced enough to know it.

He looked at the fat old man and said a little embarrassedly: "Then, Senior, can you calm down now?"

"..."

The fat old man's eyes suddenly became strange. He looked at Lin Yang in silence for a long time before he said faintly:

"I've said it before. As long as you can catch some fish, I'll forgive you. I always keep my word."

"Thank you, senior!"

Lin Yang was completely relieved and said, "Then Senior, I will take the gene medicine first."

It took a month or so to crack the refrigerator's permissions, so now we have to hurry.

The fat old man heard this and immediately stopped him: "No! You can't continue taking the gene drug now!"

"Ah?" Lin Yang was stunned.

Can’t continue taking genetic drugs?

What's the situation?
The fat old man glared at him angrily and said, "You kid think you'll be fine if you eat the things in the refrigerator? If I hadn't rushed back immediately, you would have exploded and died, do you know that?"

“Ah?” Lin Yang was stunned for a moment. “Explode, explode and die?”

"Nonsense! Those are all good things that I have accumulated for hundreds of years. Although they are small in size, each one contains extremely huge amounts of energy. Those things were originally used by me to prepare for my own improvement!"

The fat old man glared at Lin Yang: "You are so good, you really ate all those things in one go. To be honest, you are lucky to have lasted until I came back! If I came back a little later, hmph!"

“…” Lin Yang was shocked.

I almost died!

"So, the moment I felt my heart was about to explode was the moment this old man came back and saved me."

Lin Yang muttered to himself.

Before, he felt that he had turned into a ball of fire, and at the moment when the fire was about to explode, a huge hand that fell from the sky firmly grasped the fire, which was equivalent to grasping his heart, preventing his heart from exploding.

It was this old man who saved his life!
"Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"

Lin Yang took a deep breath and thanked him solemnly!
The fat old man waved his hand and said, "But then again, you are really a strange and lucky guy. The energy contained in any of the things you ate is enough to make you explode and die in an instant, but you can still hold on for so long. To be honest, I really can't understand it."

As he spoke, the fat old man looked at Lin Yang as if he was looking at something very strange.

Lin Yang spread his hands and said, "Senior, I don't understand why this happened."

He didn't lie. He really couldn't understand why he could catch fish so easily and not die immediately after eating so many horrible foods.

The fat old man stared at him for a while and sighed: "Forget it, let's not discuss this for now. Maybe everyone's physique is different. I will find the reason later."

"Well, senior, since I can't continue taking genetic drugs now, how can I improve myself next?" Lin Yang asked.

"You thought that what you ate was for nothing. Although I returned in time to dissipate most of the energy for you, the remaining and absorbed energy in your body has made your body extremely powerful. What you need to do now is not to continue to increase your strength, but to learn how to control and use that power."

The fat old man rolled his eyes at him again.

"I will personally guide you for a period of time. Your current physique is no less than that of a mid-level advanced gene warrior."

"Ah? It's already comparable to a mid-level advanced genetic warrior? Such a huge improvement?" Lin Yang's eyes suddenly widened.

After eating a meal, he was directly promoted from a mid-level genetic warrior to a mid-level advanced genetic warrior, a whole leap forward.

Isn’t this too exaggerated?
"This is so big!"

The fat old man stomped his feet in anger when he heard this: "Boy, you should know that the energy contained in every bite of food you eat is extremely huge. Even for an extraordinary warrior, it can be greatly improved. And you only upgraded from a medium gene warrior to a high-level gene warrior. It can be said to be a pure waste. You didn't even use one trillionth of the energy in the food you ate!"

"Uh... okay." Lin Yang smiled awkwardly, and then a question came to his mind: "Senior, since eating these things can quickly improve and does not take a long time to absorb, isn't it better than genetic drugs?"

Although those things are incredibly valuable, the Universe Country should be able to get them. If they are used to train genetic warriors, the effect will far exceed that of genetic drugs!
"What are you thinking about?"

The fat old man also widened his eyes and looked at Lin Yang: "Don't you have a more intuitive understanding of the value of the things you eat? Those things can be obtained by the Universe Country, but they are not enough for those old guys in the Universe Country, so how can they be used to train gene warriors?"

"Okay, alright." Lin Yang touched his head and blushed a little.

The fat old man looked at him, was silent for a while, and added:
"Also, the main reason is that you are too weird, weird to the point of being uncanny! Under normal circumstances, it is very dangerous for a genetic warrior to eat those things. Even if there are strong people protecting them at any time, their lives may be in danger, and the absorption will only be slower than genetic medicine. Whether in terms of value or efficiency, it is not as good as using genetic medicine." "But for some reason, you are still fine after eating so much, and you can directly absorb the remaining energy. To be honest, I really have the urge to send you to the experimental table for research."

The fat old man stared at Lin Yang with a leisurely look, which made Lin Yang tremble in his heart.

Send it to the laboratory for research? ?

Isn't that just...

"Ahem, senior, maybe I just have a special physique, there's no need to..." Lin Yang spoke quickly.

Seeing this, the fat old man laughed and said, "Look how scared you are, don't worry, I was just saying that, I won't really send you to the lab."

"Yes, is that so..." Lin Yang muttered in his heart.

"Okay, kid, go wait in the training room. I'll go deal with the red demon fish first." The fat old man waved his hand.

"Ok."

Lin Yang responded and walked towards the training room.

"Wait!"

The fat old man suddenly called out to Lin Yang again, and under Lin Yang's puzzled gaze, he said word by word: "You are not allowed to gain access to the refrigerator without permission again. If you dare to steal food again, I will not save you again!"

"Hehe... Don't worry, senior. I won't do it again!" Lin Yang was embarrassed again.

...

Fifteen minutes later.

In the training room, the fat old man took out a bottle of green liquid and handed it to Lin Yang: "Drink it!"

"This is..." Lin Yang was a little confused.

"This is the healing medicine I went out to look for you a few months ago. It took me a lot of effort to get this crappy thing. In the end, I was even pestered by a hateful old man because of the delay. Otherwise, I would have come back a long time ago!"

The fat old man seemed to recall some unpleasant experience and spoke while cursing.

Lin Yang was slightly stunned.

It seems that the old man was harassed by someone and that's why he didn't come back in time.

He took the bottle and opened it, and immediately an indescribable strange smell hit his nose.

Although it didn't smell very bad, it instantly reminded him of the horrific experience of eating the so-called nutritious meal that the old man had specially prepared for him a few months ago.

"Really, do you really want to drink it?"

Lin Yang swallowed subconsciously.

He now has a physical aversion to these strange-tasting things.

Moreover, if the old man hadn't brought it up again, he would have forgotten that he had health problems.

He didn't feel sick.

After several months of training, I didn't notice any problems at all.

He had previously checked his body using the medical cabin and found nothing wrong.

But the old man said he was sick, and he didn't know how to refute it.

"Just drink if I tell you to! I won't harm you!" The fat old man frowned.

"Ok."

Lin Yang pinched his nose and poured the green liquid, which was similar to poison, into his mouth in one breath.

In an instant.

An indescribable feeling of comfort permeated my whole body, as if everything in my body was growing and reviving.

"what……"

In extreme comfort, Lin Yang couldn't help but moan.

He felt his body being nourished by an unknown force.

This is a wonderful taste that I have never experienced before.

Half an hour later.

The refreshing feeling slowly faded away, and Lin Yang was still a little unsatisfied, and couldn't help asking: "Senior, what on earth is this?"

"I won't say anything more. I'll give you something to heal your wounds."

The fat old man waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, now there are no hidden dangers in your body. Next, the real training will begin!"

As he spoke, the fat old man smiled, which made Lin Yang feel a little weird and creepy, which gave him a bad feeling.

Soon, Lin Yang realized the true meaning behind that smile.

Real training is cruel!
Do not!
It’s inhumane!
He was like a toy, being played around with by the fat old man.

It is also called cultivating his fighting awareness and habits.

After a few days, there was no intact place on his body.

Lin Yang suspected that the old guy was taking the opportunity to retaliate against him, but he had no evidence.

Half a month later.

Lin Yang stood in the middle of the training room with bruises all over his body.

The fat old man said leisurely:

"Boy, you did well. This training session ends here. The official competition will start in a month. You should prepare to participate."

Hearing this, Lin Yang couldn't help but tremble, and an extremely brilliant light flashed in his eyes!

The inhuman torture of the past half month is finally... over!

God knows what he has been through in the past half month.

This damn old guy makes him miserable every day under the pretext of training him.

Although……

It does have some effect.

He is now able to control all of his own power perfectly and has learned a lot of combat techniques from genetic warriors.

It can be said that he can now easily defeat himself from a dozen and a half months ago.

But at the same time, after the experience of the past half month, he really doesn't want to go through it again!
"Okay, kid, if you want to go home now, I can send you home for a month. When the competition starts, I will take you to the competition venue." The fat old man said again.

"Senior, do I no longer need to take genetic drugs?" Lin Yang asked.

The fat old man waved his hand: "No, your current physical fitness is stronger than that of a high-level gene warrior. If you want to take gene medicine, you have to take super gene medicine. But it takes two or three years for the effect of super gene medicine to be absorbed. It's completely too late. Don't use it for now. The gene medicine will affect your condition during the absorption process. Let's just leave it this way for this competition."

"Uh..." Lin Yang was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "Senior, can you give me a super gene potion?"

He now has a gene medicine fusion device in his hand, which can greatly shorten the drug absorption time of the gene medicine after fusion.

The old man gave up, but he didn't want to give up yet.

"Why do you want the super gene potion? Didn't I tell you? Even if you use it now, it will be too late to absorb it, and it will affect your condition instead." The fat old man emphasized again.

"I want to give it a try. After all, as you said, I have a special physique, and maybe I can get some unexpected gains."

Lin Yang couldn't explain the existence of the gene medicine fusion device, so he could only try his best to persuade the fat old man to give him a gene medicine.

The fat old man was a little hesitant, but finally he could not resist Lin Yang's request and agreed to get him a super gene potion.

The fat old man acted quickly this time. He came back in less than half a day and gave the super gene potion to Lin Yang.

"Thank you, senior. Please take me home first." Lin Yang said after putting away the genetic medicine.

"Go home? If you want to take the genetic medicine, take it here. I will watch you in case of any accidents." The fat old man reminded.

"I want to wait a few days before using it." Lin Yang said directly.

"Wait a few days before using it?"

The fat old man frowned instantly, and subconsciously wanted to say something, but in the end he just looked at Lin Yang deeply, and said nothing more, but said lightly:

"It's up to you. I've given you the potion anyway. I advise you not to be too anxious. It doesn't matter if you can't get a very high ranking this time. Because even if you use the gene potion and absorb it all, you can't be the opponent of those seeded players trained by the universe country."

At this point, the fat old man paused and continued, "Even if they are genetic warriors of the same level, there are differences in strength. The players trained by the Universe Country are not only strong, but also well-rounded. Their weapons, combat methods, and many other factors mean that even if you become a super genetic warrior now, it is impossible for you to defeat them. Those combat methods cannot be mastered in a short period of time."

"Your foundation is too shallow. The difference between you and those guys is not only in the improvement of genetic medicine, but also in the comprehensive training of 10 to 20 years."

"Can you understand what I mean?"

"Junior understands." Lin Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He knew very well what the old man meant. To put it bluntly, his foundation was too poor. Of course, this foundation did not refer to his current poor physical fitness.

Instead, the players trained by the Universe Country have received all-round training since childhood, while he has only recently started to come into contact with these things, and the time gap is not so easy to erase.

Unless you can suppress them with a force several or even dozens of times stronger than the opponent and break their law by force, there is no hope.

But if you want to crush with your strength advantage...

"Senior, if you want to crush those players from the Universe Country with absolute strength, what level of strength do you need?" Lin Yang asked.

"Crush with force?"

The fat old man glanced at him and said calmly, "Those guys are at least at the middle level of super gene warriors. If you simply want to crush them with strength, even if you become a high-level super gene warrior, you may not be able to win. You have to become a special-level super gene warrior to have a great chance."

"A special super gene warrior?" Lin Yang's eyes moved slightly.

"Almost. However, even if they are top-notch super gene warriors, if their foundation is not strong enough, they are not 100% sure to crush those guys trained by the Universe Country."

The fat old man looked at Lin Yang and said with a smile: "In short, don't even think about it. This competition has been held countless times, and there has never been anyone in any competition who can reach the strength level of a special super gene warrior."

"It will be great if you can compete for the top 100 in the universe-level competition this time."

Lin Yang nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Due to the time limit for absorbing genetic medicine, there has never been a top-notch super genetic warrior in a cosmic competition.

But, just because it has never happened, doesn’t mean it will never happen.

With a gene medicine fusion device, as long as there are enough gene medicines, it is possible to try to become a special super gene warrior!
Lin Yang's eyes flickered.

Others can't do it, but he has a chance.

However, he did not ask for more genetic medicine. He had not yet tried the effect of the genetic medicine fusion device. He would wait and see after further testing.
