A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 789 - 775: "Gun King

Right now, Baiyu is most intrigued by the diverse types of genetic potions in this world.

Up to this moment.

He still hasn't obtained any genetic elixir.

The competition lasts for thirty days, and within that period, one just needs to become the final victor.

So, using the earlier time to strengthen oneself is not a mistaken idea. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

In the end.

It will surely be a battle of dragons and tigers.

Getting stronger in this world now is the most sensible way.

"Let's go, we'll first return to the Wildfire Base, and after obtaining the genetic elixir, head to the company side."

Baiyu said to Wang Shenghua.

The surrendering Resentful Spirit nodded and said, "I can invoke Resentful Spirit Transformation, ordinary people won't notice it, I can just follow you from then on."

After the two agreed.

Baiyu set off to return, while Wang Shenghua activated the power of the Resentful Spirit, instantly becoming extremely transparent, impossible to detect without a close look.

Hiding in the dark feels more or less invisible.

If she deliberately hides, it's even less likely to be discovered.

Baiyu felt relieved and returned to the temporary base set by Luo Cheng before, where two groups of people were guarding.

Each of them was stern, armed to the teeth.

A considerable amount of supplies had already been hoarded here, all packed securely in containers and sealed.

Although discovering a city here was beyond most people's expectations.

Yet.

The purpose of Luo Cheng and his team was to gather resources, so the matter of the city ruins requires long-term planning.

Ultimately, if it becomes absolutely necessary.

There might be a need to cooperate with other resistance organizations to jointly develop this place. A single organization intending to take it down seems somewhat over-ambitious.

However, if several resistance organizations unite.

They wouldn't fear the company coming to claim it.

Baiyu greeted a few Wildfire members and sat aside, closing his eyes to rest, waiting quietly for the end of this operation.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long.

Intense gunfire erupted in the city.

"There's a firefight, looks like Wildfire members encountered Rangers, and a conflict broke out," Baiyu thought to himself.

However.

According to the information from Wang Shenghua.

This time there are just over thirty Rangers, and only she possesses superpower abilities.

So.

The rest are ordinary members.

Baiyu didn't need to interfere in their battle; his Blood Qi decreases with each use, and there is currently no way to replenish it.

The gunfire grew increasingly intense.

A few Wildfire members waiting on-site were evidently anxious, but they had to stay put and couldn't assist in the fight.

If Baiyu could join the battle now, Wildfire would undoubtedly secure a massive victory.

However, no 'if' exists.

Several Wildfire members also knew that Baiyu wouldn't act voluntarily.

The intense gunfire gradually waned with the passage of time, and soon a group of wounded Wildfire members appeared at the horizon.

The casualties weren't very severe, but definitely not small.

Despite the Rangers' prowess.

Wildfire members weren't pushovers; under absolute numerical superiority, the Rangers were wiped out.

Presumably, only one or two Rangers realized the situation was unfavorable and escaped directly.

Several Wildfire captains were all injured.

An Hongye was no exception.

Luo Cheng was even shot in the calf, but fortunately, there was a special painkiller and swift treatment by a doctor traveling with them, allowing him to recover.

"Gather your spoils and prepare to return."

Upon returning to the area with the containers, Luo Cheng reorganized the troops and started the return journey.

The gains this time were already extensive.

Next, the matter of city ruins development will have to wait until returning to the base, to discuss with all the leaders before planning.

However, Luo Cheng conjectured.

It's likely that several resistance organizations will unite to develop the ruins together, jointly confronting the company.

Once the city ruins are thoroughly utilized, their strength might surpass the company, becoming the top force in the area.

Of course.

All this requires long-term planning.

The return journey faced no major obstacles; in part due to the heavy losses, everyone's spirits weren't high, maintaining silence along the way, with only occasional sparse exchanges in remembrance of fallen comrades.

This situation persisted until the main troop returned to the heavy trucks.

The joy brought by transporting abundant spoils tempered their internal sorrow.

Large crates of Old World goods were loaded into the cargo compartment of the heavy trucks, including steel, various Old World products, and numerous electronic devices.

These things.

Bring them back to the base for analysis by the researchers, maybe resulting in breakthrough progress.

Old World cities.

For humans in the New World, they represent buried treasures.

"Almost there, everyone, let's return, remain vigilant, don't let your guard down just because the battle's over.

In the wastelands.

At any moment, we can be drawn into battle."

Luo Cheng loudly instructed the members.

Baiyu boarded a heavy truck, closing his eyes for rest, these matters didn't require his intervention, mostly he conversed with Wang Shenghua.

Once the vehicles started, the team again fell into silence.

Only the roar of the engines echoed across the boundless wilderness.

A few hours later.

The canyon where the Wildfire Organization is located appeared in view.

At this moment.

Morning light beamed from the horizon, clouds scattered.

Three heavy trucks received a warm welcome from the Wildfire members, driving into the base.

Aside from Luo Cheng, Wildfire Organization had two other leaders, who were not inside Wildfire Base but executing other tasks outside.

However.

Upon returning to the base, Luo Cheng promptly notified them, as discovering a city ruin ranked more important than any current task.

If this ruin is seized by the company.

Opposing the company in the future will become increasingly difficult.

"This is your reward, Level Three genetic potion, Gun King. Consuming it doesn't have any side effects, but during the emergence of your mutation abilities, you'll endure a period of ongoing neural pain.

After becoming Gun King.

Your vision will be broader and responsiveness sharper.

With firearms, reaching a state of mastery, and aiming speed will increase significantly to a level unreachable by ordinary people.

Of course.

These are just some basic abilities of a Gun King, deeper abilities require further exploration.

Also.

There's roughly a sixty percent chance of failure upon consumption, unavoidable, not everyone's body can obtain mutation abilities."

Luo Cheng was noticeably discomforted as he spoke.

He himself belonged to the kind unable to acquire mutation abilities, attempted multiple times, all unsuccessfully.

Even with Level Five genetic potions, he couldn't assimilate them.
