Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Pink Treasure Chest Reward!

TL: Etude

Lin Hao looked at the system’s task panel.

Super Difficult Task: Devour Level 5 Mutant Sea Loach

On this task list, the font of this “Devour Level 5 Mutant Sea Loach” task had turned golden, with the words “completed” beside it.

Pink Treasure Chest!

Awesome!

“Claim it later; let’s see if there are any other mutant creatures around first!”

Since he had come out, he might as well use up all the teleportation time before heading back.

Moreover, there was nothing to do at night, making it the perfect time to claim rewards and level up!

……

Meanwhile, in Longyin People’s Hospital, it was noticeable that the number of people in the fever clinic had increased significantly.

“Strange, there’s no flu going around lately, so why are so many people coming in for treatment?”

“I’ve had a low-grade fever for a while now, and no matter what tests they run, they can’t find anything wrong. It’s driving me crazy!”

“It’s not just that they can’t find anything; I actually feel stronger. The doctor said all my indicators are excellent.”

“…”

At this moment, Ah Bin and his friends had just arrived at the hospital to get checked out, only to find it crowded with patients, some of whom also seemed to be there due to a low-grade fever.

But these people looked to be in surprisingly good spirits.

“Ah Bin, it looks like a lot of people are experiencing the same thing as us.”

“They probably haven’t been bitten by a green crab, though.”

Listening to the surrounding conversations, Ah Bin whispered.

Ah Bin shook his head, feeling a bit puzzled.

“Should we get in line? There are a lot of people.”

Zhang Lin’er looked around and spoke up.

She had also heard the conversations around her and felt a sense of disbelief.

Especially when people talked about having a constant low fever, with test results showing they were perfectly fine and their physical metrics being much better than normal—this was particularly strange.

It felt like something was happening, but she couldn’t figure out what.

“Oh? It’s you?”

At this moment, a figure walked over from the front.

Seeing the person approaching, Ah Bin and Ah Ming were startled.

This person…

“It’s you!” They instantly recognized him.

Even though the person wasn’t wearing the high-tech-looking battle armor, they quickly realized from his voice and face.

It was Li Ye, the man in armor from the mangroves that day!

“Are you guys experiencing low fevers too?” Li Ye glanced at them and smiled.

He was at the hospital to attend a meeting with some doctors to explain the characteristics of people affected by the virus.

These characteristics were quite easy to distinguish.

The most obvious feature was a persistent low-grade fever. Initially, the body might feel uncomfortable, but as the virus merged with human cells, the entire body would start to change, becoming stronger.

Thus, people would go to the hospital for a checkup, only to find out that not only were they fine, but their physical metrics were also exceptionally good, and their bodies had become stronger.

However, some people might experience significant negative effects, and some even died.

“Yes,” Ah Bin and Ah Ming nodded vigorously like pecking chicks when they heard Li Ye’s words.

“Don’t worry, in a week, you’ll be fine,” Li Ye said with a faint smile. “Not only will you be fine, but your bodies should also become stronger.”

Currently, the number of people exhibiting low fever symptoms wasn’t very high. Due to the increasing concentration of the global virus, only those sensitive to the virus showed these symptoms. If they only had low fever symptoms, it indicated that the virus was slowly merging with their body cells. This process took time.

Moreover, the virus concentration was still low. While it could slightly enhance the human body, a true qualitative change required a higher concentration of the virus to become a real warrior. However, that was a distant prospect.

In fact, the gradual increase in global virus concentration was beneficial to humans. It allowed the human body to slowly integrate with the virus, eventually becoming warriors.

“Is that so?” Both were bewildered by Li Ye’s words. No problem? Their bodies would become stronger?

“Yes, don’t worry, nothing will happen,” Li Ye patted their shoulders and then left.

Ah Bin and Ah Ming watched Li Ye leave, still in a daze. They wanted to ask who Li Ye really was, but he left quickly, soon disappearing from their sight.

“Who is he?” Zhang Lin’er couldn’t help but ask as she watched Li Ye leave. Although it was her first time seeing him, she felt he was different from ordinary people. There was something mysterious about him, and from his presence, she could sense a strong…

Oppressive feeling! Yes, that was the word!

“He was the one wearing the battle armor,” Ah Bin and Ah Ming began to regain their senses and whispered in Zhang Lin’er’s ear.

“What?” Zhang Lin’er widened her eyes. They had exchanged information before and knew about each other’s experiences. She was curious about the mysterious armored department and didn’t expect Li Ye, who appeared before her, to be one of them.

“This person is very mysterious, probably from a special national department,” Ah Bin whispered. Recalling the scene from that day still left him a bit shaken. Those people in battle armor looked incredibly strong, just like Iron Man from the movies.

“What do we do now? Should we still see a doctor?” Ah Ming glanced towards the back area, where many people were holding their test reports. Some were muttering about their blood reports and other tests being normal despite their persistent low fevers.

“Shit, could it be leukemia? But this blood count doesn’t look like it. Do I need a biopsy?” A young man came out, swearing as he looked at his report.

“It should be fine,” Ah Bin took a deep breath and said. “Let’s trust him.”

Leukemia seemed unlikely. After all, many people had low fevers. It was improbable that they all had leukemia.

“Then let’s go!”

“Okay!”

……

Evening came quickly.

Accompanied by a flash of white light in the Hualong Pond, Lin Hao’s figure was transmitted back!

“This time wasn’t bad; I gained so many evolution points.”

After devouring the mutant sea loach, he continued searching the ocean, devouring many other mutant creatures and gaining many evolution points!

“Let’s open the pink treasure chest first!”
