Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 137: The IMBA aspect of the gene lock!
Genetic lock or superpowers, which one has more advantages?
In order to solve this problem, Shen Jin called Yang Ao over. To be honest, Shen Jin had never struggled on the brink of life and death. Even when he was chased by a tide of zombies for the first time, there was no scene where he would be killed in the next second, so... it was difficult to understand the feeling of opening the genetic lock. He himself was a psychic, and most of his subordinates were also psychics. They had a high inclination towards superpowers. A first-level genetic lock extraordinary, his strength and physical strength were not as good as those of a strength-type extraordinary. So why should he open the genetic lock instead of activating the superpower?
This is just the most basic superpower. If you obtain a special superpower, such as... food maker, feces maker, poisonous fart king, etc., you can get very powerful abilities, which are both dazzling and cool!
Although the gene lock extraordinary ability is very strong in single combat, but... Shen Jin needs a super team of legionary and team combat, not the peak of personal strength. The most important thing is that Shen Jin will have enough second-level crystal cores in the future, and can provide his subordinates with potions that can be promoted to the second level. He does not need to rely on his own strength to open the second-level gene lock like Yang Ao, a road of life and death...
However, in order to ensure that his choice this time is impressive enough, Shen Jin decided to listen to Yang Ao's opinion. He is a second-level gene lock extraordinary, and his understanding of gene locks is definitely better than his own.
"Brother Jin, what's up?" Yang Ao came over. He changed into casual clothes and looked very comfortable. "Don't keep staring at me. I've been fighting for such a long time, and you still can't let me relax? I'm going to the beach to sunbathe later. Do you want to come with me?"
"Uh... I think it's okay, but before I go, I need you to do me a favor." Shen Jin also felt a little tired. He had been fighting at high intensity for such a long time and fell into a coma after overdrawing. Then he got up and helped S City build a wind power station. He flew all the way and also had to collect mines, make equipment, and research new equipment. "Huh? When did I become so hardworking?" Shen Jin was a little puzzled. It seemed that he had become a busy person without realizing it. This was something he, as a otaku, could not imagine.
"Yes, Boss, you are too busy. I suggest you just hand things over to them. They have grown up under your wing and are now able to take charge of their own affairs. Just let them make their own decisions on many matters. You only need to provide a general direction. There is no need to make yourself so exhausted!"
Be independent?
Shen Jin nodded: "That makes sense. I'll take a rest after I finish these things!"
Only he can do these things, so naturally he will be busy for a while and use the various benefits brought by this system module upgrade.
"What do you think of mutants and gene-locked people?"
"Good fellow! You're bringing up such a big topic right off the bat? These... were not ? I feel like the summary is pretty good!"
Shen Jin shook his head: "I plan to make those 500 strong crossbowmen become extraordinary people. I am considering whether to let them awaken their superpowers or open the first-level gene lock. What do you think?"
Although Shen Jin liked supernatural powers, he didn't say it, otherwise it might affect what Yang Ao was going to say next. Shen Jin recently discovered clearly that when a lord has been in office for a long time, the people below will always unconsciously cater to him. The greater the power, the less truth they can see...
And these subordinates who catered to him did not think there was anything wrong. Shen Jin's current image was already too great. He led so many people to fight and never lost a single time!
Millions of zombies were destroyed!
Regarding an opinion, as long as the people below think differently from Shen Jin, they will subconsciously think that Shen Jin is right. The lord is so far-sighted, how could he be wrong?
This kind of thinking is unconscious and contains a hint of personal worship. In order not to influence the judgment of those below him, Shen Jin now rarely expresses his opinions directly.
Of course, Yang Ao is one of the few people in the base who will not be affected by his momentum. After all, he has risen from obscurity with him, and has experienced escape and rise. His mentality has long since changed. He is... a partner!
Yang Ao thought for a while and asked, "You said before that you wanted to make a new type of crossbow. Can you show me your crossbow?"
"Give!"
Shen Jin took out the [Blue Slime Crossbow] he had just made and handed it to Yang Ao, and also gave him a pot of [Steel Crossbow Arrows]. It had a pink cast iron frame, a blue slime crossbow arm, and a white bowstring. It had a simple mechanical structure and beautiful shape. The crossbow was like a work of art. If it were placed before the end of the world, a crossbow of this shape would surely be a hit among military fans!
Yang Ao pulled the bowstring, took out a crossbow arrow and placed it on it, aiming at an extra [round stone] in the corner of the wall. There were already spots on it, and it was obviously a victim of Shen Jin's experimental weapon.
Pull the trigger, "Puff!"
A short and powerful sound of the crossbow arm rebounding was heard, and the crossbow arrow instantly turned into an electric spark, fiercely inserted into the [cobblestone], and then... broke out of the stone!
“Pah~!”
Not only did it penetrate the one-meter-thick [cobblestone], it also penetrated the building foam wall that had not yet solidified, and flew away into the distance, disappearing without a trace...
Yang Ao looked at Shen Jin, then at the crossbow, "This... is... a crossbow? I'm afraid it will fire armor-piercing bullets!" After saying that, Yang Ao added, "It has to be a large caliber one!"
The penetrating power is evident!
Shen Jin smiled but said nothing. As the top ranged weapon among the Artisan Soul weapons, the crossbow is naturally the most damaging. "In this case... I suggest awakening all 500 people to Gene Lock Transcendents!"
Yang Ao spoke decisively and firmly. Shen Jin frowned, then smiled with interest: "What do you mean?"
Yang Ao pulled the bowstring with his hand. "I tried it. The force of this bowstring is not that strong. A first-level gene-locked extraordinary person can pull it. It does not require the strength of a strength-type extraordinary person. I have discussed it with Pang Guang. The attack power of this crossbow lies entirely in the crossbow. As long as the string can be fully pulled, the damage is fixed. So... the person who uses this crossbow only needs to have the strength to fully pull the string. Gene-locked extraordinary people have this ability. This is the first point!"
"The second point is... to be able to unleash the power of this crossbow, in addition to basic physical fitness, there is also... equipment experience and combat experience! The 500 strong crossbowmen of the Q City government must have full equipment experience and can use the crossbow in various ways. There is no need to worry about this. But... what about combat experience? After all, they are just well-trained soldiers. When fighting zombies at the critical moment of life and death, they will still panic and make mistakes. As crossbowmen, with such a weapon, their attack power has reached its peak, so... what is needed is the ability to survive and the ability to exert this attack power to the extreme!"
Shen Jin interrupted, "Survival ability? Of course, strength-type psychics are stronger. Their physical strength and escape speed are both stronger than those with gene-locked super powers!"
Yang Ao shook his finger, "On the contrary!"
"Gene-locked extraordinary people and special-powered extraordinary people of the same level fought desperately, and the vast majority of those who survived were gene-locked extraordinary people. This is the ability to survive!"
Yang Ao's face showed a competitive light at this time: "We have extraordinary gene locks. Although we don't have all the magical powers of psychics, we have reached the extreme in controlling and developing ourselves! The first-level gene lock unlocks the combat instinct and can turn a fat otaku into a fighting master in an instant! It activates the combat factor hidden in the genes of human ancestors for thousands of years, so that we can face any extreme situation, and can block negative states such as pain, fear, hesitation, etc., with highly concentrated mental power, 100% understanding of our physical condition, and can find the best solution in any situation. And these... are the survival abilities!"
Shen Jin suddenly became enlightened!
The weapon has been endowed with attack power, so let’s activate the gene lock and allow them to perfectly control this weapon!
"Old Fu! Prepare 500 bottles of 'Gene Optimization Potion 2.0' for me."
But before that, Shen Jin still had to do a small test...
