Chapter 165: Wealthy Aura Rising to The Sky
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Ding, Ding, Ding!
On the second morning, the notification sounds of Feng Lin’s microchip rang out, startling him awake.
“Who?” Feng Lin opened his eyes, feeling somewhat helpless.
Being awakened in the morning like this made him extremely unhappy.
He activated his microchip and saw a projection of a figure with large head and big ears staring right back at him, causing him to feel a great shock.
“What the h.e.l.l?” Feng Lin leaped up.
That figure resembling a giant pig started to speak. “Are you master Hongjun? I’m Zhu Tiangang. Nice to meet you, nice to meet you! No, I’m the poster in the Mythological Forum and my id is ‘Fatty with a cultivation dream’. You said that if the Obese Gene, Binge Eating Gene, and Pigskin Gene combine, they can be evolved into the Big Belly Gene? I’m truly filled with grat.i.tude that you are helping me to achieve my dreams. The reward money has already been sent to your account, master Hongjun. This time, I wish to purchase the full genetic evolution formula…”
He continued speaking words of grat.i.tude and respect.
Do Pigs know how to speak?
Feng Lin had just woken up; thus, he still felt somewhat in a daze. In his vision, a giant egg was bobbing agitatedly about.
After he returned to his senses and took a closer look, he discovered that this was not a pig. It was a human!
This human with a pig-like face was speaking continuously, and his two large ears wobbled about.
How obese was this man?
For a moment, Feng Lin was truly shocked. But after he paid attention, he calmed himself down.
So this fatty was the poster with the id ‘Fatty with a cultivation dream’?
Feng Lin activated his id microchip and discovered that 10,000 star coins had indeed been transferred into his account.
This amount of money was pretty huge, but this poster had directly sent it without confirming the truth with him? It seemed like this fatty was an extremely wealthy money lord!
As the saying goes, seeing a spot on the leopard’s skin is equal to seeing the entire leopard. Seeing the head of somebody is equivalent to seeing the person completely.
Although the projection only showed the huge face of this fatty, Feng Lin could very well imagine the size he had ballooned into.
His weight was only 500 kg? It should be almost 1,000 kg already, right?
Did he eat too much after he posted the question and gained more weight since then?
…
Being so obese to such an extent could be considered a talent too. It was truly impossible for ordinary people to achieve this!
Feng Lin was speechless.
Also, this fatty referred to himself as Zhu Tiangang earlier. Was that his real name?
Feng Lin had a look of contemplation on his face after he heard that this man wanted to purchase the full evolutionary genetic formula. His heart couldn’t help but stir.
Although genetic formulas were valuable, to Feng Lin, the vast majority of them were useless.
There was a limit to human’s energy. He could simply choose the path with the brightest future or a few paths with good prospects. By then, his own future would be boundless.
This Big Belly Gene was merely a mid-grade primeval gene that would cause one to be as fat as a pig. Other than a ‘genius fatty’ like this man, ordinary humans would never choose this cultivation path.
Feng Lin naturally didn’t have any regards or any use for this gene formula.
If this useless genetic formula could be used to exchange for star coins, wouldn’t it be great?
But the prerequisite was that he had to see if this man was reliable.
Feng Lin opened up the projection function on his microchip and started to converse with the fatty.
Naturally, he didn’t reveal his true face. He used the virtual simulation to create the image of Dao Ancestor Hongjun that radiated an air of celestiality and started to converse with the fatty through the internet.
“Are you Master Hongjun?” The fatty glanced at Feng Lin and pa.s.sionately asked.
One had to say that this image of Hongjun, which Feng Lin had created, was extremely imposing and real. It had perfectly matched with the image of a respectable and powerful senior in the fatty’s heart.
Feng Lin nodded, smiling but not commenting. He intentionally wanted to project an ethereal feeling of mystery, causing others to feel that it was not so easy to get close to him.
To a stranger, such an image was of miraculous effect. It would cause others to easily be convinced by him.
“Master Hongjun, you are a geneticist right?” Feng Lin didn’t even say anything, but the fatty already silently agreed that Feng Lin must be a mysterious and powerful geneticist. He excitedly continued, “Master, the evolutionary path of the Big Belly Gene is something I’ve never heard before. All the various geneticists I hired before are completely useless. They are unable to let me set my foot on the pathway of cultivation. If you can allow me to cultivate successfully, money isn’t a problem!”
Fatty spoke with conviction and confidence. Feng Lin could sense how rich this fatty was from his tone.
Feng Lin wasn’t surprised at how eager the fatty seemed.
The genes in a human’s body were countless, like the stars in the sky. For any gene, if one wanted to combine it with other genes to create a new evolutionary genetic formula, there were millions of variations that might affect its success. Every new evolutionary genetic formula would typically have to be supported by a vast amount of scientific data for validation.
Hence, it was so difficult to get a new genetic formula.
This evolutionary genetic formula of the Big Belly Gene was like a stalk of life-saving gra.s.s to this fatty who had always been unable to cultivate. It was only to be expected that this fatty would be extremely eager.
Even before Feng Lin made a reply, the fatty already continued speaking, increasing the payment as though he was afraid that Feng Lin might refuse.
“Master, if you are willing to tell me the correct evolutionary path of this genetic formula, I will give you 500,000 star coins. No, a million star coins! How about it?” This fatty truly didn’t seem to care about the price paid. His wealthy aura was rising to the sky, even Feng Lin was stunned by the amount.
This was the Interstellar Era!
Even land itself wasn’t worth any money.
The past tyc.o.o.ns and magnates in the Ancient Earth Era couldn’t be compared at all. The truly wealthy people in the Interstellar Era all had planets among their fixed a.s.sets.
These people were known as star magnates.
By possessing a planet, even though that planet might be a barren planet filled with the aura of death, all the minerals and resources that could be excavated from there were still exceedingly valuable.
And there was the fact that those peak-level star magnates would not only possess a single life planet. In fact, humans on the planet, the animals, the companies—all of those would be under their control. Just collecting tax alone would generate them astronomical wealth.
And now, a star magnate character actually appeared before him? If Feng Lin didn’t take advantage of this and give him a good fleecing, who would he fleece?
“Sure.” Feng Lin didn’t hesitate and straightforwardly agreed.
This was just the evolutionary genetic formula for a mid-grade primeval gene, and he had no regard for it.
There were no best genes, there were only the most suitable genes.
This Big Belly Gene was extremely strange. Ordinary humans would never choose to cultivate it and it wouldn’t be worth a lot of money. He would only be able to sell this for a sky-high price if he encountered someone like this fatty.
He didn’t want to miss this opportunity. It wouldn’t come knocking on his door again.
“I do indeed have the complete evolutionary genetic formula. If you want, I can sell it to you.” Feng Lin didn’t beat around the bush. “If you can trust me, transfer half of the price to me first and I will divulge the genetic formula to you. The remaining money can be paid to me after that.”
Feng Lin spoke calmly. He wasn’t afraid that this person would go back on his word.
500,000 star coins were considered a lot as well. Even if this fatty regretted it later on, Feng Lin wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.
“Ding, ding! 500,000 star coins were just transferred to your account!” Even before Feng Lin could finish his sentence, a notification already rang out from his microchip.
“The money has already been sent. Tell me the genetic formula now.” The Fatty’s eyes gleamed with a bright light.
“…” Feng Lin was completely speechless. After that, he sent the information regarding the evolutionary genetic formula of the Big Belly Gene over to the fatty.
“Ding, ding. Another 500,000 star coins received!”
A mid-grade primeval gene’s genetic formula actually netted him a million star coins.
After that, there was no news from the fatty. Clearly, the fatty must be impatiently checking the genetic formula out.
Feng Lin was stunned by the wealthy aura of this fatty.
What ident.i.ty did this fatty have exactly?
A million star coins felt like mere pocket change to the fatty and were paid to him just like that.
He truly couldn’t imagine the thoughts of those who were truly rich!
In the Interstellar Era, the resources of the universe could be considered limitless. It was simply unimaginable how much wealth some of those star magnates possessed.
Feng Lin felt that his horizons were too shallow, and he silently mocked himself for being startled too easily. He shook his head and continued browsing through the forum to answer more questions.
He merely used some time to answer the questions. To think that he would so easily earn a million star coins.
Next, he would still have to work hard and gain more fame so he could become a Mythology Great V as soon as possible.
…
In the blink of an eye, another day pa.s.sed.
In an unknown location in the depths of interstellar s.p.a.ce, a burst of loud laughter rang out, reverberating throughout the small planet.
“Hahaha. I, Zhu Tiangang, have finally become an interstellar cultivator!”
