Chapter 53 Level 5 Genetic Warrior
“Does your nose still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt anymore!” Chu Chu thought her brother’s hand was so warm.
“Brother, your combat skills are amazing! I felt like you didn’t even use much strength, yet I couldn’t even withstand a single move.”
“Little girl, practice more, and you’ll be just as strong.”
“Hehe! I really hope to be as good as you someday. Brother, why don’t you try the fighting net? With your skills, you’d definitely win a lot of money!”
“That’s a good idea, maybe I’ll give it a shot when I have time.” Qin Feng was somewhat tempted. “By the way, where’s Sister Yan?”
“She’s taking a bath! Oh, I need to make breakfast, I’m starving!”
“All right, after breakfast, we’ll say goodbye to her. I’m taking you to City Hall.”
“Huh? Why are we going there?” Chu Chu was a bit puzzled.
“To upgrade your status to a privileged citizen.’”
“Privileged Citizen with rights?” Chu Chu suddenly thought of something. “Brother, did you break through to become an Elementalist?”
“Yes!” Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
Chu Chu was overjoyed and threw her arms around Qin Feng. Her brother had broken through to become an Elementalist, finally elevating him to a higher status. This made her even happier than if it had been her own breakthrough.
“Little girl, you’re so excited,” Qin Feng said, gently pushing Chu Chu away.
Now that she had grown up, their close contact made him feel a bit awkward, so he maintained a bit of distance.
“I’m just so happy!” Chu Chu’s face was filled with joy. “Brother, I heard that after becoming an Elementalist, if you report to the government, there are a lot of rewards and benefits.”
Qin Feng chuckled. “I don’t know either; we’ll find out when we go. But for now, the most important thing is getting you upgraded to a citizen with rights.”
Qin Feng was concerned about the Lin family. The death of Lin Xuyang was a hidden danger that would eventually come to light.
He needed to quickly improve Chu Chu’s strength and status so that the Lin family wouldn’t dare make a move against her.
“Brother, I have something to tell you. Sister Yan wants me to stay here and work with her. She said she’d give me the rank of lieutenant. I wanted to ask your opinion.”
“Lieutenant?” Qin Feng was a bit surprised.
The rank of lieutenant was usually reserved for early-stage one-star Elementalists. It was quite impressive that Yan was offering Chu Chu such a high rank.
Additionally, the military title was more powerful than the privileged citizen status. The military only answered to the government and the city lord, meaning the Lin family had no right to interfere.
Allowing Chu Chu to join the military seemed like a great idea. Even if the Lin family wanted to target her, it wouldn’t be easy.
“Chu Chu, don’t military appointments require approval from higher-ups? Yan is only a major; does she have that kind of authority?” Qin Feng asked, still somewhat skeptical.
“Sister Yan said it wouldn’t be a problem. She mentioned that even the city lord respects her, so appointing a lieutenant shouldn’t be an issue.”
Qin Feng nodded. “It seems Yan has some connections. In that case, you can stay here.”
“Hehe! Thank you, Brother!” Chu Chu let out a sigh of relief. She had wanted to stay all along—after all, the place had her favorite 3D combat pods and she got along well with Sister Yan.
But she was also very obedient and didn’t dare agree without her brother’s approval.
“Little girl, drink this.” Qin Feng handed her a vial of level-5 Gene Serum.
“What’s this?”
“New Gene Serum.”
“Wow! Another one?” Chu Chu was delighted and quickly drank it down.
Soon, the effects kicked in, and she was drenched in sweat from the intense pain. Ten minutes later, the pain subsided, and the genetic modification was complete. Chu Chu opened her eyes, feeling a surge of strength coursing through her body.
Excited, she rushed over to the strength-testing machine. It was a high-grade machine capable of measuring an Elementalist’s power.
Bang!
With a loud crash, the machine’s numbers skyrocketed.
Ding!… Ding!… Ding!
Finally, it settled on 400.
Chu Chu’s mouth hung open in disbelief.
Oh my God!
400 combat power?
Did I see that right?
She was utterly stunned by her own strength.
A one-star Elementalist typically had around 500 combat power. She was now only slightly weaker than a one-star Elementalist.
Combined with her exceptional combat skills, she could likely hold her own against an early-stage one-star Elementalist.
“Brother, this Gene Serum is amazing!” Chu Chu’s face flushed with excitement. This serum had increased her combat power by 200 points—unbelievable!
“This is a level-5 serum; it’s supposed to be extraordinary. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”
“I know. By the way, Brother, I think I might have a way to obtain the rank of baron.” Chu Chu suddenly became excited as an idea popped into her head.
“You can obtain a title?” Qin Feng was astonished. From what he knew, only Elementalists were eligible for noble titles.
“Sister Yan mentioned it. She said that if someone’s power reaches the level of a one-star Elementalist, the government might grant them a baron title after an assessment.”
Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. If Chu Chu could secure a title, she would become a noble. Even the Lin family wouldn’t dare touch her openly, at least not without solid evidence.
“That’s great news! Given your current overall strength, you should be at the early-stage one-star level.”
Qin Feng was overjoyed. This news brightened his mood considerably.
“In that case, after breakfast, we’ll head to the city hall together to apply for your title.”
“Okay, Brother! Let me go make breakfast first.”
Chu Chu happily headed off to the kitchen.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction…
