Chapter 329: 257. The Future of Daytime

“Qing Chen, I didn’t mean to show off by giving you this watch,” Hu Xiaoniu said as he looked at the box pushed back toward him, “I only recently found out that it was you who saved me on Laojun Mountain. This watch is just an entry-level Rolex with excellent waterproof features, and I thought you might need a watch of such reliable technology.”

Qing Chen shook his head again, “Saving you was just a matter of convenience, and besides, we all belong to the same organization now. It would be too much to accept money for helping each other out.”

Hu Xiaoniu appeared thoughtful, took back the watch box, and said no more.

For some reason, this top-tier rich heir from Haicheng always felt that Qing Chen’s status within the organization seemed even more special and mysterious.

There was no evidence, just instinct.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, “When the boss arranged for you to go to Heng Society, such a dangerous place, did you have any thoughts about it?”

After pondering for a moment, Hu Xiaoniu replied, “It’s a surprise, I guess. At least I finally have an identity in the Inner World. No matter what the future holds, at the very least I have a direction to strive in.”

Qing Chen nodded and said nothing.

At that moment, Hu Xiaoniu sincerely said, “Qing Chen, I actually had another reason for giving you the watch.”

“Go ahead.”

“I want to learn from you how to kill enemies,” Hu Xiaoniu stated, “Going to Heng Society in the future, having some skills to protect myself would help me establish a foothold.”

Qing Chen was silent for a moment before responding, “If you are just an Ordinary Person, no amount of skill will be of any help.”

Hu Xiaoniu earnestly said, “As long as I work hard, I will surely find a way to enhance my strength. The boss will consider my usefulness and will think about it for me.”

“About learning combat skills and improving your strength, I think you should talk to the boss first,” Qing Chen said, “I follow the boss’s arrangements. If he gives the word, I will teach you with all my might.”

Qing Chen felt impressed, noticing that Hu Xiaoniu indeed maintained an attitude of eagerness to learn and progress.

This is how a top-tier rich heir should act, unlike the useless scions next door.

One point Hu Xiaoniu made was very right: as long as he could prove his usefulness to ‘the boss’, Qing Chen would eventually help him enhance his strength.

At present, there was a full set of Genetic Potion waiting at Li Changqing’s, and Qing Chen needed to choose the most suitable person for the injection.

The finest steel should be used on the edge of the blade.

Before his last return, Hu Xiaoniu had already been the most suitable person within the organization to receive the Genetic Potion injection. However, Qing Chen suddenly changed his mind.

He wanted to test something and then make a decision.

This so-called test was not about putting Hu Xiaoniu’s character to test.

Rather, Qing Chen needed to prove whether a Knight could unlock the Genetic lock within their body in the Outer World!

It was known that Awakeners like Nan Gengchen and Liu Dezhu were restricted by the world’s rules in the Outer World, hence they did not experience an Awakening until they were in the Inner World.

But Qing Chen was not content with that.

The path of cultivation for Knights differed from others; they sought self-breakthrough, undergoing a transformation from the deepest genetic level.

Half a month ago, it was confirmed that the Genetic Potion could be brought back to the Outer World, and it could turn the wealthy into Genetic Warriors.

If that was the case, there was no reason for Knights to be shackled.

At this moment, Qing Chen already harbored greater ambition.

Once he could complete the second life-and-death trial in the Outer World and unlock the next genetic lock,

it would mean he could lead those he enlisted into the organization, like Nan Gengchen, Hu Xiaoniu, and Zhang Tianzhen, down the old path that Knights used before Breathing Technique was a requirement: overcoming all challenges and then advancing to A-Class!

The sea here might be dangerous, but it was not a prohibited zone for life.

Although this old path did not offer as high a ceiling as that of a Demigod,

it had a lower threshold, at least not requiring the use of Breathing Technique to pass the trial of conscience.

How terrifying can mass-produced Knights be? In the future, with many A-Class members, which power would dare provoke the organization lightly?

This was why Qing Chen was temporarily reluctant to inject Hu Xiaoniu with the Genetic Potion; once injected, this path would be closed.

The only issue with this plan was that the organization still needed Protectors.

Without the use of Breathing Technique, Knights would still be ordinary people before completing the full set of eight life-and-death trials.

Therefore, the organization needed significant combat power for protection before undergoing the true transformation.

Liu Dezhu alone was definitely not enough.

Qing Chen collected his thoughts, knowing that all of this hinged on the outcome of his own experiments.

With these thoughts in mind, he closed his eyes and lay down on the desk as if he were asleep.

This surprised Hu Xiaoniu who, since their transfer to this school, had heard of Qing Chen’s reputation as a prodigy; indeed, Qing Chen had once again ranked among the top three in the grade during last week’s monthly exams.

However, Hu Xiaoniu did not understand why he had never seen Qing Chen study since his arrival…

Was this the natural gift of a prodigy?

They didn’t know that Qing Chen had already opened the Mysterious World of virtue within his mind and was continuing to record his sniping data.

Every second counted.

In the wilderness of the Mysterious World, Qing Chen had already mastered all the data within 400 meters.

He started moving the Coin target further back and cycled through different levels of wind speed.

This method was unfair to other snipers.

What does one need to become a sniper? The first requirement is talent.
