Chapter 188

The mercenary soldier said.

"I understand, now you can disappear!"

Lin Yi said.

"Command accepted!"

After the soldier finished speaking, his entire body dissolved into blue points of light.

Watching this scene, Lin Yi felt nothing but shock upon shock in his heart.

Fortunately, he had already experienced the system's miracles before.

Even if a two-way foil suddenly appeared in the system's weapon catalog one day,

he could accept it.

But to be honest, with a thousand elite soldiers at his disposal who feared no death, even if they could not last forever, what could he not accomplish?

Most importantly, as long as this mercenary force did not exceed one thousand men,

he could replenish and expend them at will simply by spending money.

This was truly a formidable weapon of war.

Consider living humans; even if there were ten thousand of them, once one died, that was it—they could never be resurrected.

But on his side, as long as Lin Yi was willing to spend money,

if a thousand died, he could immediately hire another thousand.

They could never be exhausted, resurrecting infinitely.

With such power, as long as Lin Yi possessed infinite wealth,

even if the United States mobilized its full strength, it would have to think twice.

At the same time, with this function, Lin Yi's Super Arms System was no longer a lone command.

At the very least, through these hired soldiers, he could establish liaisons in the real world.

Although the soldiers spoke somewhat rigidly,

their AI intelligence should be sufficient to handle ordinary daily communication.

It could be said that the functions granted by this system upgrade arrived at the perfect moment.

This allowed him to do even more in the future.

For instance, overthrowing Japan, toppling the United States,

even marching across Tokyo and touring the White House would no longer be dreams.

It also gave Lin Yi greater confidence.

After confirming the new function, Lin Yi initiated the lottery feature.

"System, draw!"

"Ding... Lottery started!"

"Ding... Congratulations, Host, you have obtained Nano Gene Potion*1."

"Nano Gene Potion!?"

Lin Yi was stunned.

"The Nano Gene Potion is a special nano-agent based on human gene modification; after injection,

it will alter various bodily functions, grant immunity to all biological and chemical toxins, slow aging, and more..."

Hearing the system speak thus, Lin Yi's eyes already sparkled with excitement.

The value of this item was simply beyond imagination.

He had actually always wondered if the system possessed any potions that could affect his own body.

After all, his body was that of an ordinary person; even with years of exercise,

he would ultimately be unable to defeat time.

In fact, if the system lacked potions to slow aging,

he would definitely establish a biomedical laboratory in the future,

investing huge sums of capital to research anti-cancer and anti-aging agents.

After all, if humans were destined to die, the significance of money would diminish greatly.

Lin Yi did not deny that he was a vulgar man.

Yet since ancient times, how many vulgar people have exhausted human resources and material wealth in pursuit of immortality?

The difference now was that

technology was far more advanced, and humanity was slowly lifting the veil of God.

Once the human genome map was charted, humanity essentially held the key to entering God's forbidden zone.

Immortality or consciousness transfer were no longer completely unattainable dreams.

The gene potion obtained from the system lottery not only delighted Lin Yi

but also showed him even more possibilities.

"Extract the gene potion?"

"Extract!" Lin Yi said.

Immediately, a crimson syringe appeared in his hand, filled with a molten-lava-like red liquid flowing within.

To be honest, if one did not know this was a gene potion,

who would dare inject such a thing into their body?

"System, are there any precautions for injecting this?"

Lin Yi asked, holding the syringe.

"No precautions; simply inject it into the body."

Hearing the system say so, Lin Yi directly injected the tube of red liquid into his body.

Instantly, three red, bleeding circular marks appeared on his arm.

This syringe turned out to be an electric needle head with three needle holes, requiring only insertion into the body.

This syringe turned out to be an electric needle with three holes; it only needed to be injected into the body.

The electric needle automatically administered the injection.

It injected every last drop of the red liquid directly into Lin Yi's body.

Immediately after the injection, Lin Yi showed no reaction at first.

But moments later, he felt as though he had a hangover.

It seemed as if the entire world was shaking.

He found it difficult even to stand.

With great difficulty, he took step after step toward the bedroom.

Once he reached the master bedroom and lay down on the large bed,

he immediately lost consciousness completely.

However, what Lin Yi did not know was that after the injection,

his blood became filled with vast numbers of nano-insects.

These nano-insects seemed to have been pre-programmed; they began frantically devouring substances harmful to the body.

From shattered cells to cancer cells, they simultaneously cleared the vascular walls,

and finally even began repairing some damaged genes within the human body.

When Lin Yi was awakened the next day by the glaring sunlight, he first felt somewhat puzzled,

then he recalled that after completing the transaction with the Long Country military the previous night, the system had immediately upgraded,

following which he had drawn a gene potion from the lottery.

After injecting this potion, he had fainted.

"Has my transformation completed?"

Lin Yi clenched his fist, yet it seemed there was no change at all.

"Eh!" However, moments later, he noticed something abnormal:

his skin was obviously far fairer than before.

After all, he had grown up in the great mountains of Guizhou Province, herding cattle and raising pigs, exposed to plenty of sunlight.

So even now,

his skin could not possibly turn that snowy white; it could only be black with hints of white,

and this was already the result of several months of living in luxury.

Before this, he had been even darker.

Additionally, his clothes had become much too small, with the cuffs of his sleeves clearly falling short by a significant margin.

"This..."

Lin Yi immediately stood up and walked over to the full-length mirror hanging in the cloakroom.

One look was enough to shock him.

He was completely dumbfounded.

At this moment, he looked as if he had applied the highest level of beauty filter.

His skin was snowy white, so flawless it resembled an infant's, delicate enough to be broken by a mere breath or touch.

The acne scars left from his puberty on his face had completely vanished.

Even his pores were so fine that they were invisible unless one examined him closely right in front of the mirror.

Beyond that, his facial features had become more three-dimensional and refined.

His entire appearance now looked exactly like a character stepped out of a comic book.

Furthermore, his height had increased significantly compared to before; measuring with a tape rule, he was now 183 cm.

This was a full 8 cm increase from his previous height.

After taking off his clothes, although Lin Yi's figure had never been bad due to years of exercise,

now his muscles had become even more aesthetically pleasing, resembling a graceful leopard.

They were full of defined lines.

Finally, his muscles also seemed to possess greater strength.

Although he had not yet tested it, he could feel that the power of a single punch was far beyond what he could achieve before.

It could be said that this gene serum had completely transformed Lin Yi, reborn anew.

If someone not very familiar with him were to see him now,

they would probably find it very difficult to recognize him.

"Such a huge change, this is a bit troublesome!"

Lin Yi murmured with a slight headache.

Just then, his mobile phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, it was Secretary Bai.

After answering, he heard her say:

"Boss, are you coming to the company today?"

Hearing this, Lin Yi checked the time and realized it was already 9 AM; under normal circumstances,

he would have already been at the company by this time.

No wonder Secretary Bai had called him.

"Mm, I have some matters to attend to these few days, so I won't be going to the company; you can hand over all affairs to President Yang!"

Lin Yi said.

With such a drastic change, he needed to disappear from the sight of everyone in the company for a while.

"Understood!" Bai Bai Jie replied.

She then hung up the phone.

At this moment, Tang Tang Chuyu asked from the side:

"Sister Bai, is President Lin not coming to the company today?"

"He said he has matters to attend to and won't be coming for the next few days!"

Bai Bai Jie said.

"That shouldn't be the case; President Lin rarely skips work!"

Tang Tang Chuyu said puzzledly.

She had been at Fengyi Technology for some time now,

and had witnessed firsthand how punctual Lin Yi was, never once having a record of skipping work.

For him to suddenly not show up for several days was truly unexpected.

"Who knows, perhaps he has something important to do!"

Bai Bai Jie continued, the corners of her mouth curling up into a teasing smile:

"What's wrong, little Yu, can't bear to be apart from our President Lin? Does one day apart feel like three autumns?"

"...I...I do not!" Tang Tang Chuyu's face instantly turned red; after all, she was still a university student who had not yet graduated.

How could she be a match for a charming woman like Bai Bai Jie.

"It's a pity; if only our President Lin were a bit more handsome, I am a standard control-freak when it comes to looks!"

Bai Bai Jie said.

"President Lin is actually not bad; he looks quite acceptable!"

Tang Tang Chuyu said.

"You also say 'acceptable,' right? That level of looks still falls quite short of my requirements, but if we factor in wealth and talent, President Lin can barely meet my standards!"

Bai Bai Jie smiled seductively.

"Sister Bai, that depends on whether Lin Zong takes a liking to you first!"

Tang Tang Chuyu said with a laugh.

"In this world, which cat doesn't steal fish? Behind every successful man, there must be a group of women. You're still young; you wouldn't understand!"

Bai Bai Jie said.
