Age of Mecha: Divine-grade Genetic Extraction

After a preliminary understanding, Peter learned that the person who had shouted at him just now was really promoting a gene-strengthening potion. However, the gene potion that this person promoted was very ordinary. After an ordinary person used it, the increase in power was very limited.

Peter had nothing to do now. He had not made any progress even after keeping an eye on the Federal building, so he simply talked to the man.

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you can answer them truthfully, I can buy your gene-strengthening potion."

The man was happy to hear Peter's promise. Originally, he was selling gene-strengthening potions near the commercial street. However, it was snowing heavily, so he planned to take a shortcut across the park and go home.

He didn't expect to meet a man who was taking a walk alone here. Thus, he wanted to give it a try and asked if the man wanted the gene potion he was selling. In the end, he actually managed to sell one.

The gene potions he sold were not cheap. Currently, there were few families in the base city who could use the gene-strengthening potions. After all, potions that could strengthen the body were also very effective for treating diseases.

"Sir, feel free to ask. As long as I know the answer, I will definitely tell you."

"Yeah."

Peter nodded with satisfaction. The question he wanted to ask was very simple. It was about a phenomenon in the current base city. He wanted to understand the situation of the Mecha Warriors after they were attacked by the beasts.

"Can you tell me about the current situation of the Mecha Warriors?"

When the man heard this question, his uneasy expression turned into one of excitement.

"Sir, you asked the right person. My neighbor is a Mecha Warrior, so I can tell you about his experience."

The man looked at a nearby pavilion that was available for visitors to rest in. Then, he motioned to Peter for them to talk there.

When the two of them entered the pavilion, they could avoid the snowflakes falling from the sky. The man sat opposite Peter and began to tell him about the situation.

It was about ten minutes later that Peter finished listening to the man describe his neighbor's experience.

It turned out that after the beast siege, many Mecha Warriors lost their jobs. The reason was that the Federation had made a new decision. In the next few years, the Federation needed the elites among the Mecha Warriors. They would no longer rely on their number of mechas like before.

Peter had expected this decision long ago. Furthermore, he was concerned about the thoughts of the ordinary Mecha Warriors who had been eliminated. After all, this concerned his future plans.

The man told Peter about his neighbor, who was once a Mecha Warrior serving in the Federation. However, after being fired, he no longer had a source of income and could only rely on minimal food supplies. If the man's neighbor wanted to change this situation, there was only one way out — to become a Genetic Warrior.

Peter had the most say here. As a Genetic Warrior, he knew that as long as one was not older than 35 years old, they could absorb the gene-strengthening potion and become a Genetic Warrior.

It was not that they could not absorb the gene potion after they were 35 years old. It was just that once an ordinary human exceeded 35 years old, the effects of absorbing the gene potion would be very low.

This was equivalent to wasting money without getting a good result.

The last thing the man said was what Peter wanted to know the most. At the end of the story, he told Peter that his neighbor was willing to risk going to the wealthy district. Then, he would accept a bounty mission in order to obtain the gene-strengthening potion.

Peter also knew about this. Before he became a Genetic Warrior, his father had wanted to accept the bounty mission issued by a wealthy person, but he was stopped by Peter.

In the wealthy district of the base city, the lives of the residents had always been very extravagant. It was very difficult for them to feel excited in their daily lives, so some wealthy people thought of some very interesting rules for a game.

They would reward warriors, who were in urgent need of money, to capture mutated creatures in the wilderness for their amusement. Many wealthy people used mutated creatures to fight. This kind of "game" required a large number of mutated creatures. Furthermore, the higher the level of the mutated creature, the greater the reward. It was said that the money obtained from capturing a C-Grade mutated creature was enough for an ordinary person to purchase food that could last for ten years.

One could imagine that this kind of reward was very tempting to those poor people.

However, this man's neighbor was very unlucky. When he went out of the city to capture mutated creatures, he was discovered by a C-Grade mutated wild boar. Although he managed to survive, his backbone was injured. Thus, he could forget about standing up for the rest of his life.

At this moment, Peter looked across at the man selling the gene potion.

"How much is the gene potion that you're selling?"

The man finally heard Peter asking him what he was most concerned about. Then, he immediately took out a wrapped gene potion from his bag.

"Sir, this is the newest special-effect strengthening potion that is usually difficult to buy on the market. An ordinary person can quickly reach the level of a D-Grade Genetic Warrior after absorbing it. One potion costs 20,000 points."

Peter reached for the gene potion offered to him and looked embarrassed. If the people from the Genetics College saw that the God of War Peter was actually here asking about a D-Grade gene potion, Peter wondered what expression they would show. They probably wouldn't dare to believe that it was true.

"This D-Grade gene potion of yours is not cheap. Twenty thousand points is enough for an ordinary family to eat for five years."

The man opposite him also knew that he was a little impatient to have fixed the price from the start.

"Sir, if you really want it, I can sell it at a cheaper price of 18,000 points."

In the end, the man gritted his teeth and said the price. This was already the bottom line that he could afford.

However, Peter didn't care about the tens of thousands of points. He mainly wanted to know more things through this man.

"I'll buy this gene potion, but you have to tell me where you got it."

Peter asked this to understand the origins of the gene potions in the current base city. This was because the Genetics College would definitely not sell them.

In that case, besides the Genetics College, Peter didn't know what other organization was creating the gene potion.

The man was unusually happy to see that Peter had chosen to buy this gene potion without hesitation. He had earned 1,000 points from this deal, which was enough for his family to spend for a few months.

"Sir, if you're unhappy, you can tell me. This gene potion is prohibited in the Federation. My channel of delivery is a little special, so it's not convenient for me to tell you."

When the man finished speaking, he saw a hesitant expression on Peter's face. Then, the man immediately changed his words.

"Sir, I haven't finished speaking. Someone else can tell you about what I can't."

Peter looked at the man with doubt, waiting for him to continue.

"Sir, if you really want to know, it's best if you go to the Federal Building tomorrow morning before dawn to find a person called Aaron. I won't tell you who he is. You can just get the security guard to call for him."

However, Peter showed no expression after hearing the man's name. In reality, he was surprised as he knew who Aaron was. He was General David's assistant.
