A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 790 - 776: Sandstorm Assault

The Gun King's Genetic Elixir seems pretty ordinary.

It's just a vial of blue reagent, and if not specifically mentioned, Baiyu might have mistaken it for a blue bottle of calcium, iron, and zinc oral solution.

"So, want to give it a try?"

Outside the Wildfire Base, Wang Shenghua stared at the vial with great interest.

Baiyu did not respond.

Wang Shali added, "Why not let me try it? I'm not afraid of death, and besides, with my Resentful Spirit physique, I'm not afraid of this genetic mutation."

"Get lost."

Baiyu completely ignored her.

Everyone here deals with Ancient Gods and mutations all the time; how could they fear a genetic mutation?

In other words.

With Baiyu's current strong physique, if there was a problem with this Genetic Elixir, he could evaporate the effects instantly and expel them from his body.

He observed the blue reagent for a moment.

Baiyu no longer hesitated, uncorked the bottle, and gulped down every drop of the reagent.

The reagent itself didn't have a particularly strange taste.

However, after swallowing it, Baiyu felt a chilling sensation spreading outwards from inside his body.

The sensation was somewhat uncomfortable.

But it wasn't as painful as Luo Cheng described it would be.

Baiyu's body was much more resilient than that of an average person; both in terms of muscle density and skin toughness, it was beyond what normal physical attributes could achieve.

After a while.

Baiyu fully digested the Genetic Elixir, and the side effects were about as significant as a mosquito bite.

After taking the Gun King's Genetic Elixir.

Baiyu took out Shark Bite, casually fired a shot, and indeed felt a significant increase in his aiming speed.

But in other aspects, there wasn't much difference.

"The improvements from this thing are much less than I imagined," Baiyu muttered to himself.

However.

This is just the basic ability of the Gun King.

As he deepens his understanding of this ability, he will undoubtedly develop even more powerful forces.

But.

No matter how powerful it becomes, it should not compare to the progress of his Blood Qi cultivation.

The limits of the Tier Three Genetic Elixir are just there.

Spending time developing this Genetic Elixir is not as effective as using that time for cultivation. In this sense, the Gun King is somewhat redundant.

"How do you feel?"

Wang Shenghua, by his side, noticed Baiyu's changing expression, which eventually turned to gloom, and asked curiously.

Baiyu shook his head, "Nothing special, for me, this Level Three Genetic Elixir has no effect.

It would have to be a Level Two or Level One Genetic Elixir.

To provide a significant enhancement for us."

Wang Shenghua curled her lips, "Level Two and Level One Genetic Elixirs are not common. These smaller resistance organizations don't have them; only inside the company might there be some clues about such Genetic Elixirs."

Baiyu didn't continue the conversation.

Now.

It's time to go to the company.

...

When leaving the Wildfire Base, Luo Cheng generously provided Baiyu with an off-road vehicle, along with a substantial amount of drinking water and food.

Baiyu explained to him.

That he wanted to become a Treasure Hunter, travel around, and see if he could recover his lost memories.

Luo Cheng expressed his understanding.

Although he wanted Baiyu to stay and slowly feel the atmosphere of the Wildfire Base, eventually joining this big family.

But he knew.

That wasn't very realistic.

"I hope when we meet again, we won't be enemies."

After handing Baiyu the vehicle, Luo Cheng said to him.

...

Baiyu was not clear on the route to the company, and neither was Wang Shenghua.

She only knew how to get from the city ruins to the company, so the two of them had to make a trip to the city ruins first.

It's worth mentioning.

This was a very foolish decision.

But clearly, to them, it was not a problem.

However, along the way, the voice of Loloya once again sounded in Baiyu's mind.

This time, it was still a casualty list.

Besides the casualty list, there was also a list of those who lost the right to compete.

Containing several students.

Of course.

It also included Wang Shenghua.

It seems Wang Shenghua was right; if one admitted defeat in a single battle, they would lose the chance for the ultimate reward.

This reassured Baiyu considerably.

The two of them traveled without rest, heading directly towards the city ruins, almost in a straight line.

And so.

By noon, they arrived at the city ruins.

Immediately after. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Wang Shenghua sat in the driver's seat and began to cross the city ruins, advancing towards the direction of the company.

Along the way.

The silhouette of the old city kept unfolding.

Baiyu fell into deep contemplation; these old city shadows were quite similar to the Earth he remembered from his previous life.

But this certainly wasn't Earth.

Baiyu wondered if Earth might be a place similar to the Yellow Sand Realm?

These questions.

Remained unclear for now.

Only when he becomes strong enough in the future, starts truly exploring the secrets of this world, and reaches out to those gods, might he find clarity.

All along the way.

The journey was quite boring.

Wang Shenghua drove along the main road and passed several small gathering places along the way; in this wasteland, the smallest gathering place could consist of just a few people.

Wasteland Scavengers.

This was the most common group.

"We're about to enter the company's main controlled area, and within this area, all the forces belong to the company."

Wang Shenghua pressed on the gas pedal while explaining to Baiyu.

Ahead on the sandy road, there was a large skull symbol; even from a thousand meters away, the general outline could be seen.

This was the company's symbol.

Passing this huge signboard meant entering the company's core territory.

"Once inside, we shouldn't be attacked, right?"

Baiyu asked.

Wang Shenghua shook her head, "No, the company usually doesn't attack Treasure Hunters since they are seen as potential talent.

Moreover.

Inside the company, there's a dedicated department for entertaining Treasure Hunters and upgrading their Hunter Level.

We should encounter no problems entering as Treasure Hunters, especially since I also have an entry pass issued by the company."

Baiyu nodded, saying no more.

At that moment, Wang Shenghua stepped on the gas, aiming to drive straight into the company's controlled territory, but with a sudden 'clunk,' the car encountered a problem.

The tire blew out.

Baiyu and Wang Shenghua quickly exited the vehicle.

The front tire was full of yellow sand, even the axle got stuck, rendering the car immobile.

"This is unusual; it's not a natural blowout, someone is targeting us."

Baiyu immediately rolled to the side.

But it was too late.

A wild sandstorm suddenly arose around them, massive tornadoes connecting heaven and earth.

Amidst the howling winds.

Everything was obscured except for the swirling sand.

Communicating with Wang Shenghua became extremely difficult, forcing them to consume Spirituality to talk to each other.

Beyond being entrapped in a confined sandy space, countless sandballs were attacking from all sides.

Each one hitting the ground left a crater several meters deep, akin to a bomb impact.
