“Types of geneticists?” Feng Lin felt some interest in this. He opened up the content within and started to view it.
“Geneticists are experts on the domain of genetics. Through researching the secrets of genetic evolution, they made use of the knowledge gained and developed countless genetic marvels. According to the usage of these marvels, many branches of geneticists popped up, but the four main types are…” The holographic projection showed an old man with a scholarly aura explaining the types of geneticists.
Feng Lin seriously listened. From the explanation, he understood a lot of the common knowledge regarding geneticists.
Although geneticists were of the same occupation, there were many types of it. The most prevalent types were the four main types which were respectively known as the genetic pharmacists, genetic martial masters, genetic weaponsmiths, genetic armorers.
Genetic pharmacists researched the theory of how genetics would change the human body. That, in addition to the usage of miraculous medicinal potions, could allow humans to transform and increase their cultivation speed while refining their genes.
As for genetic martial masters, they would research the relations.h.i.+p between myths and legends and that of evolution. They searched for new genetic evolution pathways and created new genetic cultivation arts.
For genetic weaponsmiths, they were of another path. Their main purpose was to develop the extraordinary abilities of mythological genes and create weapons that mimicked the mystical weapons in mythologies and legends. To simplify, they created weapons or equipments that could complement one’s genetic abilities, boosting one’s potential to the max. For example, the interstellar humans had already managed to create some weapons from legends: the seal in ancient Chinese legends that were used to suppress chaos, Pantian Seal; the spear in the Christianity’s lore that pierced Jesus to death, Spear of Longinus; the hammer of the Nordic legends that enabled ones to control thunder, Mjolnir…
As for the last type—genetic armorers, they actually appeared due to the need for them. The moment the branch of genetic armorers were created, they were highly sought after and in the end, they spread throughout the solar system.
In the beginning, genetic armorers were a side branch of genetic weaponsmiths, creating defensive armors and equipments to boost genetic abilities.
But as time flowed on and mecha-suits appeared, genetic armorers had to up their game as well. They were finally considered a branch onto their own and abandoned the creation of cold weapons. They used the highest technology to create genetic suits, and there were many people who were willing to pay top money to hire them.
Naturally, given the myriad number of mythological genes, there shouldn’t simply be four types of geneticists. There were also geneticists that specialized in bugs, in hypnosis, in healing… Each type had its own miraculous uses; there was no relative superiority in comparison.
But undoubtedly, the most prevalent were still the four main types of geneticists.
Originally, the knowledge of geneticists was already extremely profound. Each type would delve deeper into researching different domains of knowledge, and their combined knowledge made up a complicated heavenly book of high technology, creating huge barriers of entry to this occupation.
This resulted in the high price of any genetic singularity products. There were even cases where there was price issued but no market for the product.
The main purpose of the Giant Pharmaceutical company was to concoct genetic potions to make money. It could be said that the capital they had invested in could be considered small, but the resulting profits were insanely huge.
After finis.h.i.+ng this educational theory module, Feng Lin clicked on another module named “Geneticist’s concoction methods!”
This was an explanation on how geneticists concocted potions.
As of now, Feng Lin had only ever tried to concoct a potion once in the virtual universe. In reality, he had not tried it yet.
He was very clear on his own deficiency. He wasn’t lacking in theory, only in practical aspect. He had to hurry up and make up for it.
Feng Lin adopted an even more serious att.i.tude than before as he continued to study.
These educational modules were geneticists knowledge that was provided for free by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. Although the knowledge shared wasn’t considered a lot, this was still something he wouldn’t be able to gain access to on the outside.
Knowledge was priceless!
Leaving aside the high pay, just with this benefit, Feng Lin already felt that coming to the Giant Pharmaceutical Company wasn’t a mistake. He could reinforce his knowledge and understanding of the system at the very least.
As his understanding of geneticists increased, the vision of his future path appeared clearer and clearer in his mind.
Cultivation would be his main path, while being a geneticist would act as a support to it.
As the genetics of cultivators evolved, their life’s fundamentals would undergo a transformation, entering a path of extraordinariness that contained boundless possibilities—longevity, indestructibility, even eternal life…
This was the root of everything, one couldn’t invert it.
And as for geneticists, they researched the secrets of genetics and probed the ultimate truth of the universe. Although they weren’t able to transform their lifeforce, they could use external objects to aid one’s body in evolution.
The path of interstellar cultivators and that of geneticists, one would be his main priority while the other would complement it. This would be able to ensure that his path was smoother.
Right now, Feng Lin’s vitality had already reached 3.3. His brain regions were developing perfectly and his intelligence was already at the superhuman level. Very swiftly, he completely finished browsing through these education modules and storing the knowledge they imparted into his brain.
He didn’t rest at all and decided to cultivate right after that.
The Giant Pharmaceutical Company was way too wealthy. The nutrient fluids they provided were Giant Type-A nutrient fluids. These were high-grade nutrient fluids produced by the Giant Pharmaceutical Company and could be considered as a free benefit. Feng Lin naturally wouldn’t waste this and drank it all in a single gulp. He could sense that the potency of this medicine was far stronger compared to the Green G.o.d Type-3 nutrient fluids he had drunk before.
The warm currents induced by the Giant Type-A nutrient fluids were much higher in temperature. As it revolved around his body, his muscles swelled up as though they were injected by a huge amount of nutritious medicine to the extent where he felt great pain.
It seemed like these high-grade nutrient fluids contained a ton of nutritious protein compared to his nutrient fluids from Earth. That meant, this medicine focused more on strengthening the body and increasing one’s strength.
Unfortunately, having consumed the nutrient fluids and replenished so much nutrients, Feng Lin didn’t feel the slightest bit full at all. It seemed like the increase in his vitality stats made it so that the effect of ordinary medicine was growing more and more ineffective on him.
If a true interstellar cultivator were to drink that, there was no doubt that the Giant Type-A nutrient fluids would be completely ineffective. It would be no different from drinking plain water.
No wonder cultivation resources were in such great demand. Those were things true cultivators used to increase their strength; the supply was way less than the demand.
Feng Lin then took out a bottle of potion of life. This wasn’t the low-grade potion of life concocted by machines that was sold for 1,000 star coins, or the high-grade potion of life personally modulated by a geneticist that was sold for 10,000 star coins. This was the mid-grade one concocted by ordinary humans which was sold for 2,000 star coins.
Upon draining the contents in a single gulp, Feng Lin felt the facial muscles on his face contorting. A flame seemed to have manifested at his core and was burning it, transmitting waves of heat to his entire body as he trembled with intense pain.
As expected of a potion of life that cost 2,000 star coins per bottle. The potency was much stronger compared to the previous low-graded potions of life he bought for 1,000 star coins. He felt his organs breaking down and reconstructing rapidly as he consumed it.
The intense pain caused by organs breaking down was so great that it could drive someone mad. However, Feng Lin was gradually getting used to the pain.
The stronger the potency of the nutrients, the bigger the amount of genetic potential that would be converted.
Genetic potential +20%, +19%, +18%…
Feng Lin’s genetic potential surged up, rapidly breaking past the 700% mark and reached 789%, making it so that he had a total of seven free genetic points now.
His vitality stats climbed as well, the effect far surpa.s.sed that of the past. His vitality stats were at 3.3, and now, it kept increasing, becoming 3.4, 3.5, 3.6…
Before this, Feng Lin had already felt that the effects of low-grade potions of life had been diminis.h.i.+ng rapidly. Because of how many he had consumed, his body had begun to build resistance toward the medicinal effect.
However, he encountered no such issue when consuming this new-variety of potion of life.
His vitality stats actually leaped by 0.4 points, becoming 3.7.
He drew in a deep breath. In the past, in order to hasten his gain in strength, he had strengthened his genes too many times and overdrafted his lifeforce overwhelmingly. Right now, he was finally gradually replenis.h.i.+ng his lifeforce back.
He felt a sense of relief as though he had cleared a huge debt.
Feng Lin estimated that after another wave of agony and bitter cultivation, his vitality stats should be able to break through the 4.0 mark. At that time, all his overdrafted lifeforce would be replenished and he could continue to strengthen his genes.
As for genetic points, he had already prepared them. He could instantly strengthen his Stonebirth Gene to the limits and at that time, he could try to combine his Stonebirth Gene and Monkey Gene into the primeval gene—Stone Monkey Gene.
The hope of becoming a genetic cultivator lay just before his eyes; it was no longer extremely far away!
Feng Lin’s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation. When he looked at the time, he discovered that it was already morning.
Although he didn’t sleep the entire night, Feng Lin didn’t feel fatigued at all. His increase in vitality caused him to be filled with energy. Right now, he actually felt extremely refreshed.
After his morning ablution, the doorbell rang punctually.
Feng Lin drew in a deep breath and stirred himself up, adjusting himself to his best state.
His first day at work officially started now!
