Chapter 142: Chapter 95 You Are Still Too Kind, Fierce Luo Chuan Fuses with D-class Gene Seed! (Two in One)_4

Several department leaders fell silent, and a person from the finance department said with a stiff face, "That Zhang Huaiyuan, every invoice and item he brought is recorded here."

Luo Chuan pondered, it was indeed Li Ming.

"If nothing is missing in the lab, what did he buy?" Luo Chuan asked.

"Materials, metal materials, especially Flame Blue Alloy, buying them by the millions each time," Li Ruoning added.

Luo Chuan frowned slightly. He knew Li Ming had bought dozens of pairs of shoes when he first arrived, but he hadn’t paid much attention to the subsequent purchases of so much metal material.

"What does he need so much metal material for?"

"You forgot his auxiliary major, mechatronics..." Li Ruoning said helplessly, "His training is indeed rigorous, but he also spends half of his time locked in the studio."

"Absurd!" Luo Chuan’s brows knit together, "He’s simply wasting his developmental potential. Does he really intend to build some kind of machine in the future?"

He was somewhat angry, stormed out of the room, and his entire aura was somber as he abruptly ran into Xu Pinghu who was hurrying over.

"Ah, I was just looking for you," Xu Pinghu said anxiously.

"What’s wrong?" Luo Chuan asked, frowning.

"Li Ming is currently fusing with a D-class gene seed. This guy, he didn’t even notify us," Xu Pinghu said quickly, "hurry, get the Life-Sustaining Potion ready."

"What!?" Luo Chuan was stunned and exclaimed, "Fusing with a D-class gene seed, are you sure? How could his development be progressing so quickly?"

"Who knows, he’s in the individual training room arranged by the professor; we don’t know the specifics."

Xu Pinghu was also puzzled, "According to speculation, even if he trained twenty-four hours a day without eating or drinking, he would at most have 90% progress by now, who knew he was already at the point of fusing with a D-class gene seed. I was startled when I found out too."

Level 8 developmental potential is so extraordinary? Luo Chuan thought instinctively, but then shook his head.

No, although the initial test showed gold, it does not necessarily indicate level 8.

After the professor brought him back, his developmental potential wasn’t thoroughly tested. How much is it really?

Luo Chuan suppressed his curiosity, as now was not the time to delve into it. He quickly issued a few commands on his smart terminal, then followed Xu Pinghu to Li Ming’s room.

A wave of heat hit them.

Although there was no monitoring equipment in the room, the life support system detected abnormalities in Li Ming’s life signs and issued an alert, which Xu Pinghu noticed.

Li Ming was lying on his back on the floor of the room, his skin a bright red hue, the floor also reddened from the heat, and electric arcs surged across his body surface, leaving scorches everywhere.

Sounds of cracking and popping came from his body, as if his bones were being shattered and then reformed, and his skin swelled continuously.

"The D-class gene seed is from the Thunder Flame Fighting Ape, carrying both thunder and fire elements, just delivered a couple of days ago," Xu Pinghu brought up a virtual screen, looking at the fluctuating data signs, and said solemnly:

"This kid is too rash; the success rate of fusing gene seeds isn’t 100%, let alone such powerful dual elements."

"Talking about it now is too late; hurry and take him to the life pod. If something goes wrong, the professor could flay us alive," Luo Chuan said quickly.

"Now is a critical period in the fusion; the slightest external disturbance could trigger adverse consequences." That was the challenging part for him.

But suddenly, he gave a light exclamation, "His life signs are beginning to stabilize. Is the fusion finishing?"

"That’s good," Luo Chuan sighed in relief. In fact, the technology for adjusting gene seeds was very mature; no problems occurring was highly probable.

Moreover, since the gene seed was adjusted by Yitelan, the probability of an issue was even lower.

But a low probability doesn’t mean there is none. Adjusting external conditions could further reduce this risk, so there’s no need to take chances.

Li Ming slowly opened his eyes, feeling a dry soreness in his throat and his skin burning hot, as if he were being stewed in a hot pot.

Every fusion with a gene seed was like a transformational evolution, excruciating pain and numbness hadn’t faded yet, but there was also a sense of rebirth, as endless strength surged from every part of his body.

In pain and pleasure.

"Here, drink this," Luo Chuan said, as he sat up supporting his upper body, handing him a tube of green liquid.

Li Ming didn’t hesitate, pulled open the can, and gulped it down. The cool, sweet liquid soothed his sore throat like a rich spring rain blessing arid, parched land.

One tube after another, he drank three tubes before stopping, and then he took a long breath.

"How do you feel?" Luo Chuan helped him up while Xu Pinghu handed over some clothes, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Reborn," Li Ming clenched his fists; the pleasure of leaping life levels was indescribable, enough to make one forget the intense pain during gene seed fusion.

He raised his hand, a strand of red flame rose in his palm, and his other hand crackled with electric arcs.

Thunderflame Fighting Ape Gene Seed, dual elements of thunder and fire, enhancing both strength and speed to some extent.

"Reborn, huh? You are lucky not to have died," Luo Chuan scoffed, "Now that you have developed to 100%, why didn’t you mention it? The lab was prepared to provide the best environment for fusion."

"There would have been immediate remedies if anything had gone wrong."

"I just couldn’t wait," Li Ming chuckled.

Luo Chuan’s expression softened, this was ultimately a matter for celebration, "The professor will definitely be very happy if he knows."

"Your development progress is indeed too fast," he remarked sincerely.

Li Ming gave a reserved smile. Just kidding, with a twelve-fold developmental speed boost, if he didn’t have that speed, all the metal energy invested would have been wasted.
