Chapter 11: Chapter 11 Evolution

Translator: 549690339

Jack Clark hesitated slightly, then asked softly, “How do I operate this genetic absorption, and are there any restrictions?”

After a few days of research, Jack found that the attribute page didn’t have any intelligence. It would only send a reminder when certain conditions were met.

When it came to the prompt being triggered, it would also respond to his questions.

Sure enough, a row of transparent text slowly appeared.

“To start the Evolution, the Salamander Avatar must completely devour the creature whose genes are to be fused, absorbing its strongest genes to optimize itself.”

“Note, each time you start Evolution, only one type of gene can be fused.”

“Only one type of gene can be fused each time, but even so, this is good enough.” Jack licked his lips and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

At this moment in his mind, countless thoughts emerged, thinking about which creature’s genes he should fuse into the Salamander Avatar.

With each Evolution able to fuse one type of creature’s genes, Jack was confident that after a few more Evolutions, the Salamander Avatar would become extremely powerful.

First, he ruled out elephants, lions, and tigers.

Not to mention whether he could get these animals, but even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to eat them in a short time. Besides, these animals actually have average genetic potential.

Although elephants are the largest animals on land, their power, speed, and agility are not outstanding, including lions and tigers.

As for the most extreme creatures on Earth, they are naturally insects.

Ordinary ants can lift objects weighing dozens of times their own body weight, something that mammals cannot do because of their small size and extreme structure.

And then there are fleas, which can instantly jump more than 200 times their body length, equivalent to a person 1.7 meters tall jumping to a height of more than 200 meters.

So, after thinking it over for a moment, Jack locked his target on insects.

However, he didn’t know much about insects, but that wasn’t a problem.

Jack opened his computer, entered “What is the strongest insect in the insect world” in the search page, and dozens of hot words appeared below.

The Six-legged Salamander was too weak, and its limbs could hardly support its own crawling, so Jack’s first choice was to strengthen its power.

……

At nine in the morning, Jack took a taxi to the largest flower, bird, fish, and insect market in the city.

Here, all kinds of pets, whether flying, crawling, or swimming, can be found.

For example, his Six-legged Salamander pet was purchased here.

On the street, Jack walked directly into a store called Exotic Birds and Insects, and asked the young man sitting and drinking tea by the side of the coffee table, “Boss, do you have any Unicorn Beetles here?”

“Unicorn Beetle, yes.” The young boss nodded.

Compared to the ant, which can lift dozens of times its body weight, the Unicorn Beetle has the title of the strongest insect, with a record of lifting up to 850 times its own weight.

This power burst far exceeds any other creature or insect.

The young boss led Jack inside, pointed to a few boxes on the shelf and introduced, “I have three types of Unicorn Beetles.”

“They’re the common Double-fork Rhino Beetle, the rare Tras South Sea Beetle, and the even rarer Hairy Elephant Beetle. Which one do you want?”

Of the three types of Unicorn Beetles, each is of a different size. The largest, the Hairy Elephant Beetle, is about half the size of Jack’s palm and about ten centimeters long. The South Sea Beetle is similar in size.

With a glance, Jack chose the smallest one: “Boss, I want a Double-fork Rhino Beetle.”

“Alright, fifty dollars apiece. Do you need to buy some feed?”

“No need.”

After paying with scan code payment, Jack left the Flower, Bird, Fish, and Insect Market with a small box containing the Unicorn Beetle and took a taxi back. He was rather eager.

In the upstairs room, the Six-legged Salamander lying on the table looked at Jack as the box with the Unicorn Beetle was placed nearby.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Jack opened the box and grabbed the Unicorn Beetle.

Compared to the Hairy Elephant Beetle, which was about half a palm size and more than 10 centimeters long, the Double-fork Rhino Beetle was only about 5 centimeters long, not too exaggerated.

At this moment, as if sensing its fate, Jack felt a strong force straining in his hand, the Unicorn Beetle struggling.

Unfortunately, facing the fingers that held both sides of its body, it was useless no matter how strong it was, directly being held by Jack by the head and body and snapped in half.

With a click, the Unicorn Beetle was killed and its head and body separated.

Then, it was slowly eaten by the Salamander.

At the same time, Jack called out the attribute page, moving his thoughts and clicking on the “Start Evolution” option at the bottom.

Boom!

With the confirmation, Jack felt a long-held fiery power burst in the Salamander Avatar, sweeping through its entire body like a torrent.

Under this Evolution Energy, the Salamander Avatar’s bones, muscles, and even deeper genes were changing, and its cells were undergoing furious division and compression.

Meanwhile, as the Salamander Avatar began its Evolution, a flow of heat emerged in Jack’s body, strengthening his muscles, bones, and cells.

This change took him by surprise.

However, compared to the torrent-like Evolution Energy in the Salamander Avatar’s body, the amount that appeared in his body was much smaller, only making him look somewhat stronger.

The Evolution took almost half an hour.

By the time it was finished, the appearance of the Salamander Avatar on the table had changed significantly.

It was still 30 centimeters long, but its body had become much more slender and harmonious. Its previously ribbed abdomen was now covered in solid muscle.

The wide, flat skull had become slightly rounder, and the three pairs of feathered horns on both sides had become serrated, emitting a hard, keratinous color, unlike the previous fleshiness.

The dorsal fin on its back had spread from the rear half of the body to the neck area and had become a white, keratinous, serrated shape, extending to the tail and becoming wide and flat once again.

The biggest change, however, was in its slender limbs, which had now become twice as thick, strong, and powerful, especially in the muscular hind legs, full of explosive power.

Even the tips of its claws had turned black, growing sharp, keratinous edges, exuding an aura of sharpness.

These were just the external changes.

In Jack’s perception, the Salamander Avatar’s bones had all become even sturdier, and its muscles, like strands of steel wire, were filled with explosive power.

These changes were brought about by the absorption of the Unicorn Beetle’s genes.

The strength of the Unicorn Beetle lies in its powerful muscle fibers and sturdy exoskeleton, which allow it to exert and bear up to 850 times its own weight.

One could say that the Salamander Avatar had Evolved into another species, only retaining some resemblance to the Six-legged Salamander on the outside.

After sensing the changes in his Avatar, Jack then called out the attribute page with a thought.
