My Genes Can Evolve Limitlessly

"It's nothing. They are people from the Blackrat Gang. They wanted to make trouble for me, but I defeated them."

"Blackrat Gang?" A gleam flashed in Li Qinghe's eyes. She then opened her eyes wide, revealing a surprised and scared expression.

"That's a very big gang! Will you be fine in the future?"

Lu Yuan shook his head. "It's fine. They won't come to make trouble for me anymore in the future."

Lu Yuan had understood about the Blackrat Gang's power when he came back with Pete.

For such gangs in the slums, the strongest leader was only a tier-1 fighter, and a probational fighter like Pete was already a member of the upper echelon in the Blackrat Gang.

That made sense. How would powerful gene fighters stay holed up in a place like the slums?

Status, reputation, money... As long as it was something they wanted, they'd get it.

Hence, Lu Yuan wasn't really scared of tier-1 fighters.

Moreover, a tier-1 fighter wouldn't come to deal with him over something trivial like this.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Li Qinghe heaved a sigh of relief, no longer feeling nervous.

She looked at Lu Yuan curiously.

"Little Bro Yuan, why did they come to look for trouble?"

Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment.

He was wondering if he should tell Li Qinghe about the matter concerning the black shadow.

Thereafter, he thought of how the black shadow seemed to be appearing with increasing frequency in the slums.

So it should be fine to tell Li Qinghe about it so that she could pay more attention.

He said.

"It's like this. A strange black shadow has been appearing in the slums recently. The black shadow would possess someone, and the target would die of sudden death. This morning, I heard that a member of the Blackrat Gang had encountered that black shadow and I asked them a little about it. I didn't expect them to come looking for me at night."

Li Qinghe's pupils contracted slightly. She then revealed a scared expression.

She hugged her shoulders with her arms.

"I didn't expect that there's such a strange thing. It couldn't be a ghost, could it?"

"How could there be any ghosts?"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Qinghe being scared.

"It should be some eerie stuff, maybe mutated beings or something."

Lu Yuan frowned and said, "Usually, things like these should be handled by Night Watchers. It's a pity that I heard that even though the officials have reported the matter, no Night Watchers have come to take over the case."

Lu Yuan shook his head. "There's a reason why the slums are so chaotic."

Li Qinghe smiled and said.

"Maybe the Night Watchers have come? It's just that we haven't discovered them."

"Hmm?"

Li Qinghe looked at Li Qinghe, a little puzzled.

"How does Elder Sister Qinghe know?"

"Hehe, I'm just guessing. After all, if it's really a mutation incident or something like that, the Night Watchers would definitely not leave things be, right?"

Li Qinghe smiled and answered.

Lu Yuan gave it some thought and felt that it made sense.

He then nodded. "I hope that's really the case."

If the Night Watchers could handle the case, then he wouldn't need to worry or feel scared.

"Alright, since things are fine now, then I'll be continuing to sleep. It's rare for me to get some beauty sleep at night."

Li Qinghe covered her mouth and yawned, looking very sleepy.

"Elder Sister Qinghe can continue to get some rest then."

Lu Yuan smiled.

"En, en. Good night. You should get some rest too."

Li Qinghe waved her hand at Lu Yuan and then closed the door.

Lu Yuan returned to the room and checked the time. It was already slightly past 5 am.

The sky was going to light up very soon, and Lu Yuan couldn't be bothered to continue cultivating.

Moreover, there was also a Lightchat message. It was from Zhuo Ming.

Lu Yuan opened it to take a look.

"Classmate Lu Yuan, you're so amazing! You're already so strong when you only awakened for a week."

"Classmate Lu Yuan, I'll add you into a group. It's the gene fighters group for those in our class. The members are all gene fighters of our class."

"If they know of your strength, they'll definitely be given a big shock! Hahaha!"

"Classmate Lu Yuan? Classmate Lu Yuan, are you there?"

"Boss Lu Yuan?"

The messages had been sent from when Lu Yuan had accepted the friend request.

After a few messages were sent and there were no replies from Lu Yuan, Zhuo Ming sent another message after ten or so minutes.

Lu Yuan was helpless. He had been busy handling the matter with Pete previously and didn't have the time to check his phone.

Now, he sent a reply.

"I had something to do earlier and didn't check my phone."

A few seconds after Lu Yuan sent out the message, Zhuo Ming replied.

"So Classmate Lu Yuan was busy. I was wondering why you weren't replying."

"Hurry up and join the group. I have been boasting in the group, saying that you're very strong but they don't believe me!"

Zhuo Ming sent another invitation link to the group chat.

[Future Battle Gods Group]

Lu Yuan: "?"

(What kind of name is this? Battle gods? Is this suitable?)

There were no battle gods at all amongst the entire human race.

His lips couldn't help but twitch.

However, he still tapped on accept.

After all, this group name was prepared for him.

Wasn't he, Lu Yuan, going to be the future human battle god?

He had just entered the group when Zhuo Ming called out.

"Welcome the new battle god, Boss Lu Yuan, joining! Red packet please!"

After Zhuo Ming said this, another few messages darted out.

"Welcome the new battle god, Boss Lu Yuan, joining! Red packet please!"

"Welcome the new battle god, Boss Lu Yuan, joining! Red packet please!"

"Welcome the new battle god, Boss Lu Yuan, joining! Red packet please!"

Lu Yuan: "..."

The many +1 caused him to almost not be able to hold it in and want to tap on it.

However, he was the battle god himself and needed to be reserved.

As for the red packets, he ignored the requests directly.

He was someone who stayed in the slums. Why were these people so thick-skinned to be asking him for red packets?

Lu Yuan then looked at their names.

Zhuo Ming, Wang Xiangxiang, Gu Yu, Wen Ni.

Lu Yuan had an impression of these names.

Zhuo Ming and Gu Yu were males, while Wang Xiangxiang and Wen Ni were females.

Of which, Zhuo Ming and Wen Ni had awakened last year in their second year of high school.

Wang Xiangxiang and Gu Yu, on the other hand, had awakened back in year one of high school.

He recalled from the memories belonging to the original owner of this body that both Wang Xiangxiang and Wen Ni were beauties.

He had an especially deep impression of Wang Xiangxiang's long legs.

Zhuo Ming sent another message.

"Cao Yan and Mo Li* seems to still be in the Land of Origins and haven't come out yet. They won't be able to welcome the new battle god."

Lu Yuan heard two more familiar names.

Cao Yan and Mo Li had also awakened back in year one of high school.

In year one of high school, four students from their class had awakened. And in year two, two had awakened. In year three, Lu Yuan was the only one.

Compared to the other class, their rate of awakening was considered quite high.

However, Cao Yan and Wang Xiangxiang came from families of gene fighters; their parents were gene fighters. As a result, the chances of their children becoming gene fighters would be a lot higher.

Therefore, the two of them didn't really count.

There were only four from ordinary families that had awakened.

Wang Xiangxiang: "@Lu Yuan, Little Kid Ming said that you're very strong? Are you really very strong?"

Lu Yuan was stunned. He thought that Zhuo Ming had been joking earlier.

He didn't expect that Zhuo Ming had really said that?

Gu Yu: "Zhuo Ming must be boasting again. Classmate Lu Yuan has just awakened. How strong can he be? He should only have a refinement rate of 5% at max?"

Wen Ni: "Little Kid Ming, come out and get beaten!"

Zhuo Ming wrote, "No, I was speaking the truth! Lu Yuan is really very amazing! I f*cking encountered three hunters in the Sandstone Underground Palace. If it wasn't for Classmate Lu Yuan's help, I'd have come out dead again."

Wang Xiangxiang: "Haha."

Gu Yu: "Haha."

Wen Ni: "Haha."

Zhuo Ming: "@Lu Yuan, boss! Say something!"

Lu Yuan smiled and replied, "What Zhuo Ming said is right. It's true that I encountered three catfolk hunters previously. It was also then that I encountered Zhuo Ming."

The group fell silent for a moment.

Zhuo Ming: "Hahaha! You guys hear that?! Classmate Lu Yuan said that too!"

Wang Xiangxiang: "Is that true? You really encountered hunters? It has only been a week since you awakened, but you can survive despite encountering hunters?"

Wen Ni: "If this is true, then Classmate Lu Yuan must have engraved and recorded an extraordinary gene. Moreover, it must be a very strong one!"

Lu Yuan took a look at Wen Ni's message. He didn't expect this person to be quite sharp.

However, there was no way he could hide this.

Zhuo Ming wasn't a fool either and could tell from one look that Lu Yuan had definitely engraved and recorded a high-level extraordinary gene.

It seemed that his current capabilities were quite high.

But thankfully, he could only be considered a genius, and the progress wasn't too preposterous.

Geniuses tended to be out of the ordinary. Moreover, although they were low in numbers, there'd always be some.

He could just act like a genius.

So what if he were to play the role of a genius in the Future Battle Gods Group?

It'd be strange if he wasn't one.

He smiled and replied.

"Classmate Wen Ni is right. It's true that I have engraved and recorded an extraordinary gene. Moreover, it's an elite-grade one."

A commotion broke out in the group.

Zhuo Ming: "Hahahaha! I knew it! The battle technique Boss Lu performed previously is definitely an elite-grade one! It's too strong! That defense alone is preposterous!"

Gu Yu: "F*ck! What a boss! I'm envious! The one I engraved and recorded is a common-grade extraordinary gene!"

Wen Ni: "Mine is also a common-grade extraordinary gene! For Boss Lu Yuan to get an elite-grade extraordinary gene right from the start, you'll be soaring in the future! Your foundation is so good!"

Wang Xiangxiang: "Can Boss Lu Yuan help to carry me? I'll show you black stocking photos!"

Lu Yuan: "..."

Black stocking photos?

Was he, Lu Yuan, such a person?

He replied in anger.

"How many?"
