Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 117 - 116: No, You Didn’t Mishear

After directly increasing his Genetic Optimization Level to 59%, Lin Xinghai glanced at his system panel.

Host: Lin Xinghai

Physique: 53 Points

Power: 48 Points

Speed: 59 Points

Blood Qi Power: 8138 Points

Genetic Optimization Level: 59%+ 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Superpower: Speed (Within ten seconds, Speed increases by 100%) (Energy Value: 10/10)

Intermediate Shooting Skill: Proficiency 1%+

Phantom Body Technique (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%+

Although Lin Xinghai had long been mentally prepared, he couldn’t help but sigh softly when he saw his Power was only 48 points.

But he also knew that the further one progressed, the greater the disparity between the three attributes would become.

This was clear just by looking at Fang Tianhe’s attributes. His Power was as high as 97 points, but his Speed was only 72.

However, the disparity between attributes couldn’t be changed, so there was no point in thinking about it. He quickly put the matter out of his mind.

What he was focused on now was the issue with his Superpower.

So, he gently tapped the "+" sign after his Genetic Optimization Level again.

Just as he expected, the system presented him with two options: one for direct advancement, and another for a second Superpower awakening.

After seeing this option, Lin Xinghai felt his heart pounding furiously.

Although he had previously guessed that the system would allow him to have a second Superpower awakening, a guess was still just a guess. Now, seeing the system prompt, he finally felt at ease.

He was now curious about just how much his Superpower would be strengthened after its second awakening.

After all, the reason Fang Tianhe’s Superpower could completely dominate other Rare Superpowers was entirely because his had undergone a second awakening.

Lin Xinghai’s mind was completely occupied with this matter until the group entered the elevator lobby and he heard Ling Xiu’s question: "Brother Lin, for these Elemental Crystals, should we still distribute them first like we did yesterday?"

"Mhm!" Lin Xinghai snapped back to reality and nodded. "Yes. I don’t plan on selling my share of the Elemental Crystals for now, so let’s just divide them here. Follow yesterday’s arrangement and exchange my portion of the Intermediate and High Level Elemental Crystals for an equivalent value in Low Level Elemental Crystals."

The Elemental Crystals had already been counted, so distributing them now was quite fast.

They had obtained a total of 2,132 Elemental Crystals this time. With Lin Xinghai taking a 70% share, he would normally receive 1492.4 Elemental Crystals.

Of course, because of his system, he didn’t take Intermediate or High Level Elemental Crystals. After exchanging them all for Foundation Elemental Crystals, he received a total of 1,730.

Looking at the large, full bag of Elemental Crystals, Lin Xinghai felt a bit dazed. ’If I absorb all of these,’ he thought, ’that would be 17,300 points of Blood Qi Power!’

As for Gao Mountain and the others, they were all smiles after the distribution. Although they had only received 402 Elemental Crystals, the proportion of Intermediate and High Level Elemental Crystals among them was by no means small.

They did a rough calculation themselves: if they exchanged them all for Points, they could get almost 15,000 Points.

Although this income couldn’t compare to yesterday’s, one had to remember that under normal circumstances, a First Level Mercenary Corps would only earn about five or six thousand Points for a full day’s work.

They had followed Lin Xinghai for just over half a day, and their earnings were already triple that of other Mercenary Corps. How could they not be grinning from ear to ear?

After distributing the Elemental Crystals, Lin Xinghai took the elevator down to the Mercenary Plaza with the others, and then they parted ways.

Of course, he didn’t need to personally worry about things like submitting the mission.

After parting with the group, he headed straight for the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps’s headquarters.

...

「Three minutes later.」

Lin Xinghai entered the headquarters and immediately felt that it was much livelier than usual. In the first-floor training hall, there were some unfamiliar faces.

He did a quick count—there were nine of them in total. They were sitting in a circle, listening to Roger, who was in the center, saying something.

Lin Xinghai walked over, curious, and Roger spotted him immediately.

"Alright, that’s about everything I needed to say. For now, familiarize yourselves with the training equipment. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can come ask me or one of the other veteran members," Roger said, waving his hand to dismiss them to their own activities.

At this moment, it wasn’t just Roger; everyone else in the hall, including the new members, had also seen Lin Xinghai.

Awe was visible in many of their eyes. This was especially true for the nine new members, whose gazes held not only awe but also admiration.

This was clearly the aftereffect of the video of Lin Xinghai fighting a Mutated Zombie all by himself.

This was especially true for the new members. Almost all of them had joined the Heaven-Sundering Mercenary Corps specifically because of him, the Divine Sharpshooter. It was no surprise they held him in such high regard.

Still, being stared at by so many people felt a little strange to Lin Xinghai.

"Well, look who it is! Our busy man finally has time to come back," Roger said with a smile as he walked over.

"You seem pretty free yourself. Don’t you need to keep helping with recruitment?" Lin Xinghai retorted casually as he started walking toward the second floor.

It was undoubtedly quieter there than on the first floor, and more suitable for his breakthrough.

"And whose fault is that? After we put your video on display this morning, more than ten qualified candidates showed up in no time."

"But we’re going for an elite team, so we only picked the six most outstanding ones. Add the three we chose yesterday, and that makes nine new members. If you count your little girlfriend, the number of new recruits for this first phase has reached ten. That’s enough for now."

"It won’t be too late to start recruiting a second batch after these members have fully integrated into the Mercenary Corps," Roger explained, knowing that Lin Xinghai wasn’t aware of these details.

Lin Xinghai listened and nodded in understanding.

"By the way, you disappeared first thing this morning. Where did you run off to?" Roger asked, a little curious.

"Took a mission. Went out to hunt Zombies," Lin Xinghai said.

"Don’t go out tomorrow. The Corps Leader got a message from the Military Department. The Morgan Conglomerate is really targeting us now. It’s too dangerous for you to go out alone," Roger warned.

"What’s going on?" Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, his expression turning serious.

"It’s better to wait for the Corps Leader to tell you the specifics himself. By the way, you went out to hunt Zombies. How are you back so early?" Roger glanced at the time; it wasn’t even 3 o’clock yet.

"Heh!" Lin Xinghai chuckled softly, then lowered his voice and said, "Because I’m about to break the second Genetic Lock, and it’s not safe to have a breakthrough out there."

Roger’s first reaction was that he had misheard. After all, Lin Xinghai had just broken the first Genetic Lock two days ago. Under normal circumstances, his Perception Power probably hadn’t even stabilized yet.

’How could he possibly be about to have another breakthrough?’

"What did you just say? I think I misheard you," Roger said, cleaning out his ear.

"No, you heard me right."
