Evolution from Carp to Divine Dragon - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: No. 002

TL: Etude

Lin Hao gazed around and continued swimming forward.

Soon, on the shore ahead, he could clearly see traces of some black-shelled shrimp.

“Heh heh, found them.”

Seeing this, Lin Hao’s eyes lit up slightly.

At that moment, with a single thought, he charged towards them.

He was incredibly fast; as soon as he got close, he opened his mouth and bit down.

The black-shelled shrimp were too small and were immediately swallowed whole.

Devoured adult black-shelled shrimp, gained 1 evolution point.

Devoured adult black-shelled shrimp, gained 1 evolution point.

Devoured…

…

Task completed.

With the system prompt, the task was completed!

Normal task: Swallow 500 black-shelled shrimp (Reward: Enhanced Speed)

With a thought, the completion notification appeared before Lin Hao.

Claim!

At that moment, he chose to claim the task reward.

A refreshing sensation spread throughout his entire body.

“Enhanced speed, let’s see how noticeable it is.”

With another thought, his entire body shot forward.

Splash!

A large amount of water splashed around.

Refreshing!

Even though his body was quite large, his swimming speed was incredibly fast!

Especially with the enhanced speed!

“This speed boost is really quite noticeable!”

After claiming the reward, the speed increase was evident!

“Let’s continue, gather more evolution points, and evolve a few more levels. Hopefully, before those mutated Tyrannosaurus Rexes awaken, I can reach level 25.”

As Lin Hao pondered silently, he opened his mouth and swallowed a few crucian carp ahead of him.

Now, his body was so large, even his mouth seemed enormous.

These ordinary small crucian carp were practically a mouthful each!

At this point, Lin Hao didn’t care; as long as there were fish, he swallowed them all.

He needed evolution points, as many as possible!

…

HXLZ Headquarters.

“I didn’t expect you to successfully merge with the virus.”

In a large research lab within HXLZ Headquarters, an elderly man looked at Luo Xue’s test results with surprise in his eyes.

The virus had perfectly combined with Luo Xue’s cells.

Moreover, it had greatly improved her body.

“Mr. Zhang, can I start learning that technique now?”

Luo Xue asked seriously after removing the monitoring patches from her arm, leg, and forehead.

“Of course.”

Mr. Zhang’s full name was Zhang Tao, a senior official at headquarters. Not only was he highly skilled in scientific research, but he was also one of the first people to survive after being injected with a high dose of the virus.

Zhang Tao at this moment opened a combination lock in another area and took out a book from a storage compartment.

On the cover of this book, three large characters read “Cultivation Method.”

“This cultivation method was obtained from a civilization’s ruins and is currently the most valuable item we have.”

“According to the records on it, by cultivating with this method, we humans can sense the special energy that permeates the air.”

“This energy has existed since ancient times, but ordinary people can’t perceive it.”

Zhang Tao handed the book directly to Luo Yue.

After receiving the book, Luo Yue’s expression became solemn.

Finally, she had it.

The Cultivation Method.

She had heard about it; supposedly, many years ago, there were extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth that left behind ruins.

These ruins contained battle knives and armor forged from special metals, and most precious of all, the Cultivation Method!

“The so-called Cultivation Method involves absorbing the energy in the air to strengthen and temper one’s flesh and blood.

“Those who can start cultivating are called warriors. According to all the information we’ve gathered, those extraterrestrials who left behind the ruins were probably similar to us humans. Not only were they technologically advanced, but they also developed methods to train and enhance their physical bodies.” Zhang Tao couldn’t help but sigh as he said this.

“Those ETs, too, are warriors who know this cultivation method. They are not the masters of our Earth’s ruins, but they want to open the ruins and awaken those dormant mutated creatures. Why they want to do this is still unclear to us.”

“But what we do know is that the situation on Earth is extremely dangerous.” His expression became increasingly grave as he spoke.

“So, you need to quickly understand this cultivation method, feel the energy in the air, absorb it, and strengthen and temper your body. Then, combined with battle knives and armor, you can reach a very powerful state.” Zhang Tao smiled as he said this.

“Can I get the battle armor?” Luo Xue asked after a brief pause.

“Of course. As long as you learn this cultivation method.” Zhang Tao nodded slightly.

“Alright.”

“Go back and rest first. If you have any questions, you can ask me.”

“Okay.”

Soon, Luo Xue left and returned to her residence.

“Aren’t you going to tell her about the situation in Longyin City?” At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over from the other side.

“There’s no point in telling her now. What could she do if she went back? Right now, learning the cultivation method is what’s most important for her.” Zhang Tao said seriously.

The ruins in Longyin City had been discovered, and they had requested support from headquarters, but they currently couldn’t spare any personnel!

The situation in Longyin City was still difficult to handle; the beast there was quite powerful.

Moreover, Zhang Tao had to stay at headquarters. If any ill-intentioned people or hidden ETs came to attack, it would be problematic.

“Yes.” The middle-aged man nodded slightly at this moment.

“I didn’t expect her to be so bold, injecting herself with such a high concentration of the virus.” He couldn’t hide his surprise.

Even people at headquarters didn’t dare to do such a thing lightly.

“I looked into it; she probably wants revenge.” Zhang Tao said calmly.

“Revenge?”

“Yes, she wants to kill No. 002.”

His expression became serious.

No. 002!

The middle-aged man’s expression also changed slightly.

In their database, they had ranked all the powerful mutated creatures that had appeared.

From No. 000 to No. 100.

Those ranked at the top were extremely dangerous mutated creatures!

“No. 002 has only appeared once.”

“When it appeared, it wiped out that ancient city completely.”
