Chapter 61 Page 9

It had been two days since the semi-mechanical creatures riot broke out.

The government's response was, as usual, slow. Apart from several nearby police stations that had urgently assembled officers to guard the perimeter of Merlin Avenue and the Four Leaf Community to prevent the riot from further escalating, other response measures were still in the "preparation" stage. The city guard had just been mobilized, and the KSS had only a handful of personnel, stationed inside the police station on Merlin Avenue, purportedly commanding the suppression efforts.

On the other hand, Blackbird Heavy Industries showed some sincerity. They delivered a lot of supplies to the Four Leaf Community and Merlin Avenue, stacked at the border of Merlin Avenue, and announced that all refugees who escaped could receive free assistance.

News about the riot had already spread. It was the same old rhetoric— the out-of-control situation at the Biochemical Research Center was cited as the main cause of the accident, allegedly linked to the "Brotherhood."

The Brotherhood was an organization with a long history, spanning over a hundred years. In the past, it was one of the minority parties in the political arena of the kingdom, advocating for the welfare of the poor and the representation of the working class. Sometimes, the Brotherhood would even organize strikes to fight for their rights.

But to the wealthy capitalists and nobles, they were just a nuisance. From the government to the businessmen, no one took the Brotherhood's demands seriously.

Later, nine years ago, when the Brotherhood organized a worker riot to fight for their rights, they were stripped of their political party status by the kingdom. Furthermore, three months ago, the Brotherhood was further labeled as a terrorist organization by the government.

Many newspapers and broadcasts mentioned the Brotherhood, insinuating that they had carried out a terrorist attack on the Blackbird Biochemical Center, leading to the disaster of the semi-mechanical creatures riot.

This statement was highly controversial. The Brotherhood's reputation had always been relatively good. Although they were unpopular among the upper class, most common people and workers supported their ideals and actions. Even among the wealthy, there were sympathizers of the Brotherhood.

Li Wei didn't believe the rhetoric in the news. To him, it was a conspiracy, a plot against Yasha.

He had long been suspicious of Yasha's identity, although he didn't know who she really was or why someone would do this, he firmly believed that things weren't so coincidental. He didn't believe that the so-called biochemical center would have a riot right when Yasha was about to leave.

After hearing the news of Yasha's "death," a fire of anger had been burning in his heart.

He directed all his anger towards those semi-mechanical creatures in the past two days.

Most of the time, he would team up with Cai Yutong, but sometimes when Cai Yutong was tired, he would go alone.

The entire area was like a feast for hunters. Not only were the hunters from the Four Leaf branch celebrating, but many hunters from various branches also flocked here after hearing the news. They hunted monsters, collected rewards, and gained benefits.

Li Wei's harvest was quite good. Although he was limited by his strength, and some targets were beyond his capabilities, his efficiency was still high.

He and Cai Yutong, along with Qian Long and Ban Derui, dealt with an incident involving a semi-mechanical infantry company, which was eventually classified as a B-level commission. He contributed a lot to that commission, receiving forty percent of the reward on his own, while Qian Long and Ban Derui each received twenty-five percent, and Cai Yutong only received ten percent.

Adding the fact that they also dealt with the giant mechanized radiated centipede, Li Wei himself received three bottles of C-level gene fluid as a reward.

In the following two days, he continued to hunt down the mechanical creatures, and the hunting points he gained allowed him to exchange for another bottle of C-level gene fluid.

After finishing the hunt with his exhausted body, Li Wei returned to the Four Leaf Guild.

It was already late at night.

Taking advantage of the few people around, he went to the hunter's area and exchanged all his accumulated hunting points for physical items.

He received two bottles of C-level gene fluid and four C-level flesh cores.

Back in his room, he first injected one bottle of gene fluid and felt the surge of strength.

After reaching the limit level, he could clearly feel that the effect of C-level gene fluid on his body transformation had decreased significantly compared to before.

This was a very bad thing. Even completing extreme training with his current body was so difficult, let alone unlocking the gene lock. His current real realm was just barely crossing the limit level. It was still far from being able to unlock the gene lock, and under such circumstances, he didn't know how much gene fluid he would need to consume to achieve another breakthrough.

People at the limit level had a relatively good tolerance for gene fluid. Generally speaking, one injection per week was almost at the limit. However, Li Wei's situation was somewhat special. The effect of gene fluid on his body transformation was not very good, but it also made his body's tolerance to the life force contained in it even better.

However, no matter how good it was, he couldn't inject C-level gene fluid like glucose. He estimated that his limit should be around one injection every two days.

After an hour, when his body completely absorbed the life force of the gene fluid and incorporated it into his body, he put the second bottle back into his storage box, ready to use it again in two or three days.

Then, he took out the four C-level flesh cores.

Compared to his body, which swelled with life force after absorbing one bottle of C-level gene fluid, the Book of Ten Thousand Laws was like a black hole, able to absorb as much life force as possible.

Soon, all four flesh cores withered, and the Book of Ten Thousand Laws showed some movement.

Li Wei's mood improved a little, but after opening the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, his brows furrowed again.

Out of the four flesh cores, he thought he could unseal two pages, but the result was only one.

"So the Book of Ten Thousand Laws has become so greedy..." Li Wei complained. When unsealing the sixth page, a little more than one flesh core was enough, but now it suddenly jumped to four.

He guessed it was because he jumped too fast. When completing the extreme training, the seventh page and the eighth page were opened directly, and he jumped directly to the ninth page, so it wouldn't be unimaginable for the required life force to increase further.

Putting his mood in order, Li Wei's eyes fell on the ninth page that had been unsealed.

This time, there were only two options.

"Disguise upgrade."

"Deadly Shot, concentrate your mind. In the next shot, you can greatly increase accuracy and power."
