Legend of the Mythological Genes

“The fool and the king?” Feng Lin silently mused.

The two cards he had picked hinted at many thought-provoking things.

The fool was the ultimate starting point of the myriad of creatures. It contained countless possibilities, wearing resplendent clothes while staring up at the sky. The next step might lead him down a ten thousand foot precipice.

The king had a treasured sword in his hand. He was able to awe and intimidate his enemies, and subdue the masses. However, like all swords, it was a double-edged tool. If he didn’t use it properly, he would hurt himself.

These two tarot cards were both not ordinary signs. They had extremely high upper limits and contained immense dangers.

It seemed like the Great Wall University must be an extremely chaotic place.

Feng Lin silently mused.

The Great Wall University was the first line of defense for humanity against the alien races. They led lives that were filled with danger. If they weren’t careful, they would end up dead while battling the aliens. But at the same time, they could also gain immense benefits and obtain the highest-tier cultivation resources in interstellar space.

Similar to the role of the solar system in the Milky Way, this galaxy also had the lowest concentration of spirit particles in the vast universe and was known as the Milky Way star system in the universe. It was considered one of the star systems with the lowest amount of resources.

Hence, the human government would send out huge numbers of adventurers to explore other star systems for resources.

The price was great, but as long as one could find a spiritual qi planet and bring back new resources, the benefits would far outweigh the risks.

In the vast universe, mankind was simply a very new player who had just entered the field. Humanity was basically a newbie. Despite knowing how terrifying the future was, they had no choice but to face it and send people out to probe.

…

This witch’s divination technique was not bad, but it had no way to shock Feng Lin like how that old man in the furnace’s memory-scape did. In fact, this divination results brought him many inspirations; he had a better idea now.

Each mythological inheritance from the Ancient Earth Era had its own unique points.

Feng Lin silently nodded.

“Friend, this is your spoils of war.” Straight-forward laughter rang out from afar. After that, a mountain of heads from the green-skinned monsters were piled up together and tossed at Feng Lin.

In an instant, an intense sour and pungent smell permeated the air.

“Father, what are you doing?” The gypsy witch almost asphyxiated and tears flowed from her eyes. She was utterly discomfited as she stomped her feet in anger.

“This…?” Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed, he didn’t understand what this man meant by this.

“Mhm?” The muscular man saw that Feng Lin didn’t understand; thus, he hurriedly explained, “Don’t misunderstand. These are your spoils of war, and you can use them to exchange for contribution points in the Great Wall University!”

“Contributions!” Feng Lin was taken aback. “I just recently got recruited and am still unclear about the situation inside the university. Can you explain things to me?”

“No problem!” The muscular man smiled. “In truth, I only know some basic knowledge about it. For the more in-depth stuff, you will naturally obtain information about them once you reach the university. Now, I will just explain to you what I know first.”

After speaking to this point, he paused and organized his thoughts before he spoke, “The Great Wall University has the word ‘university’ in its name, but in truth, its internal structure is like a large-scale army. There are many units within, such as space warfare unit, debarkation unit, and transcendent unit… They have an appropriate unit for all the aspects of interstellar warfare.

“The soldiers are either students recruited from periodically or the later generations of students that were stationed there long ago. Their numbers reach tens of millions of soldiers, and they are one of humanity’s strongest army. Just considering their combat prowess on the battlefield, no other army of humanity can be their match. If it wasn’t for the fact that the Great Wall University is stationed at the edge and focused on fighting alien races, their power was already sufficient to conquer half the Milky Way galaxy.

“The university is different from the rest because the students are soldiers. Hence, their grading system is very unique. Contribution points are awarded for meritorious services. The university pays particular attention to fair competition. If you want the contribution points, go and fight for it yourself. Over there, no matter which lesson you wish to attend or what cultivation resources you want, everything needs to be exchanged with contribution points. Also, contribution points can only be obtained from completing missions given by the university. Because space goblins are a pest-like race with great reproduction abilities, they made it a long-term mission for students to hunt them. Hunting a single one would give you 10 contribution points. There are fifty goblin heads here, hence, they are worth a total of 500 contribution points. This amount is sufficient for you to exchange for one of the newest micro mecha armor from the Great Wall University. Sadly, the corpses of the other goblins were all destroyed completely and became cosmic dust. You have no way to gain anything from them.”

Feng Lin didn’t really mind it. These 500 contribution points to him were already an unexpected gain.

“Many thanks!” He nodded, he ignored the smell and began to collect them.

“Friend, thank you for saving our fleet. After this, we are going to organize a banquet. Please join us. We can also take this chance to celebrate our narrow escape from death.” Enke laughed as he invited.

There was a huge public square within the shuttle, and a giant bonfire crackled merrily here.

These gypsies were people who loved to sing and dance. As long as there was music, they would enjoy festive celebrations.

Among them, the gypsy witch, Sally, was the most dazzling. She was surrounded like a princess. Her waist gyrated with the music, exuding immense charm. Those gypsy males who stared at her were all drooling.

However, the eyes of the witch were fixed on Feng Lin as they gleamed with a bright light.

Both Feng Lin’s identity as a student of the Great Wall University and his divination result made her feel extremely curious about him. She felt like he was covered in fog; no one could see through him.

As the gypsy witch who had dealings with fate, she was extremely curious about what Feng Lin’s future would be like.

Would he really be able to stand at the peak of the starry space one day?

The beautiful witch gazed at Feng Lin.

Yet, Feng Lin acted as though he didn’t sense anything. He was conversing with the fleet captain about the Great Wall University.

“This brat is too brazen. Isn’t he simply a student of the Great Wall University? What’s the big deal about that?!”

“Our gypsy princess is clearly indicating her interest, but he does not react at all.”

“But then again, I can’t help but say that the silver flying shuttle he has in his possession is truly an excellent specimen.”

…..

Some of the gypsies felt unhappy and slandered Feng Lin, but they had no idea that their words were heard by him.

He pretended not to bother.

The human heart was extremely treacherous. He would never let down his guard.

Even if he had saved their lives before, he couldn’t relax his vigilance.

The gypsies were a nomadic tribe. They didn’t have any structure and had a bad reputation. Occasionally, they would even be bandits.

If someone dared to have bad intentions toward him, he would naturally not be polite to them.

This Gypsy Fleet was just a small fleet that earned some profits by delivering resources to the Great Wall University. Their understanding of the Great Wall University was limited.

Just after chatting for half an hour, Feng Lin already obtained all the information Enke had.

He then began to take more interest in the festive dance of the gypsies by the bonfire. But no matter how the witch invited him, he didn’t go over to participate. He maintained an indistinct sense of distance and incurred many looks of rage from the other males.

And once the dance ended, Feng Lin instantly returned to his own shuttle and entered closed-door cultivation.

He would never allow himself to slack off in cultivation. How would he have time to care about destructive things like matters of the heart?

The gypsy witch stomped her foot when she saw him leave just like that. “Hmph, this iron-hearted man!”

…

Genetic potential +1.6, +1.6, +1.6…

Without realizing it, two days passed.

The marrow-cleansing pills Feng Lin had concocted before weren’t many in number. But now, all of them had been consumed.

He opened his eyes. He felt increasingly excited about the journey to the Great Wall University. Only there would he find the possibility of improving further.

RUMBLE~

At this moment, the shuttle began to tremble violently.

Feng Lin puzzledly stood up. From the window, he gazed in the direction of the commotion only to see a fleet with skeletal flags flying toward them.
