Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 158
Chapter 158: Chapter 158 Wei Wufu’s Need
“How is it?” Wei Wufu, who rarely took the initiative to show concern for Lin Shen, looked at him and asked proactively upon meeting him the next day.
“The effect is very good, and there are no conflicts with the skill.” Lin Shen had directly used the Base Mutation Carapace, then activated the Super Base Pattern.
“Not bad,” Wei Wufu replied with a slight nod after hearing Lin Shen’s explanation.
“Just ‘not bad’?” Lin Shen felt slightly frustrated; it was very hard to gain a sense of achievement from Wei Wufu.
“Strong, alloy, too weak,” Wei Wufu added.
“Wei, you’re being a bit too heartless with your words. Weren’t you all about alloys before? You’ve only ascended to Crystal Base a few days ago, and now you’re already dismissing alloys as weak?” Lin Shen nearly choked on Wei Wufu’s words.
Ignoring him, Wei Wufu pointed to the sky outside and said, “There, we go.”
“What’s the rush for us to go to Realm King Planet?” Lin Shen asked, puzzled.
Wei Wufu patiently explained to Lin Shen, who then understood why Wei Wufu wanted to go to Realm King Planet.
Originally, Lin Shen had thought Wei Wufu was interested in the Realm King Tower, especially since in Tiancheng they were in great need of items like the Pet Accelerator Launcher.
The Wei Family couldn’t leave Tiancheng, so unlike other families, they couldn’t establish their own forces on Alien Worlds and had a hard time acquiring alien technology. Most of their goods were obtained by trading Base Mutation resources with other families.
Those families always charged a high price, so the Wei Family was very much in need of these items.
At that time, Lin Shen felt that those families truly deserved to die; did they not understand that if the Wei Family fell, no one would be able to defend the underground spaces and the whole world would perish?
However, a comment from Wei Wufu made Lin Shen fall silent; essentially, if the homeworld ended, they would still have their Alien World families, and the impact wouldn’t be significant for them.
Later, Lin Shen realized that he was right; for those who had already established family forces on Alien Worlds, the homeworld was nothing more than a resource-poor planet with many restrictions—like a piece of tasteless chicken rib; regrettable to discard but of no flavor worth savoring.
For them, the Mother Planet now served merely as a training camp for newcomers, a place to train their youth.
Indeed, young people born within the families that had power on Alien Worlds hardly ever returned to the homeworld.
Wei Wufu’s intention to visit Realm King Planet wasn’t purely for the Pet Launcher from the Realm King Tower; he mainly wanted to acquire a large number of Ultraburn Helmets and Ultraburn Battle Suits.
Wei Wufu didn’t want these items for himself but for those who voluntarily went to Tiancheng to stay and help the Wei Family defend the city.
The helmets and battle clothes Wei Wufu had brought back before had been very effective, and he planned to bring back as many as possible again.
“The Ultraburn Warriors on Realm King Planet have already started banding together, deploying in groups of thousands at minimum each time. I suspect that this is just them dividing their forces to strike; in reality, they’ve probably already gathered together, numbering over twenty thousand, with more than two thousand at Crystal Base. If you and I encounter such a corps, we’d probably have a hard time getting out unscathed,” Lin Shen recounted the situation he had learned since his return.
Wei Wufu clearly knew more than him and spoke three words: “Jinshui Lake.”
“That’s the only option left,” Lin Shen nodded, thought for a moment, then added, “I have an Ascension Level corpse and a First Turn Spirit Base here; could you use them on your side?”
“No need,” Wei Wufu clearly lacked interest in these materials; what Tiancheng needed were more technological products.
“If you don’t want them, can you help me sell these items in Tiancheng under the Wei Family’s name, and exchange them for something I can use, like Primeval Eggs that can induce Ascension?” Lin Shen was now thinking about how to get a Primeval Egg that would allow him to ascend.
It had to be a Primeval Egg for the Ascension to work; otherwise, he would waste all his previous efforts and miss out on the Double Life Base.
“`
However, even in Tiancheng, such Primeval Eggs are a rare find, and even rarer outside.
All the Primeval Eggs in the world combined are still far less than a fraction of those in Tiancheng; it’s just that no one can record the exact number of Primeval Eggs there.
To obtain an Ascension Primeval Egg, one must find a way in Tiancheng.
“Tian, it’s not dark yet,” Wei Wufu said indifferently.
Lin Shen knew it was impossible, shrugged his shoulders, and said nothing more.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Shen said, “I can go with you, but I can’t reveal my identity. That strange man thinks I’m already dead. If he learns that I’m still alive, he might come to trouble me again. Right now, I’m no match for him, but after my Ascension, I won’t be afraid if he comes looking for trouble. Not yet.”
“Disguise?” Wei Wufu didn’t know how Lin Shen planned to disguise himself, since no matter how one disguises oneself, there would inevitably be some trace left behind during a fight.
“No need for a disguise,” Lin Shen immediately used his Base Mutation Carapace. “I’ll just go like this, no one will recognize me.”
“Time,” Wei Wufu wanted to say that if the time was too long, Lin Shen might not be able to maintain his Base Mutation state.
“For me, it’s not long,” Lin Shen’s response left Wei Wufu momentarily stunned.
There was a three-day time limit to reach Realm King Planet, which meant Lin Shen had to maintain his Base Mutation state for three days. Wei Wufu knew he couldn’t maintain his Base Mutation state that long continuously; a recovery period would definitely be needed in between.
Lin Shen said he had no problem, and Wei Wufu believed him. This endurance surprised even Wei Wufu a little.
Lin Shen went to pack his things, putting his own items into his backpack first.
Of course, he couldn’t use Tian Xin’s Paradise Backpack anymore and switched to an Ultra-Burn Tribe backpack instead.
The Angel Revolver was placed in the backpack as well, just in case it was needed later, using another one that belonged to a vice corps commander; it was only slightly slower, not a major impact.
Big Red Bull could be used, but not the Frost Swordsman or Death Powder. Most of his other pets couldn’t be used either.
In fact, Lin Shen hadn’t planned on using these pets because he had the Dragon Hunter Jiweis, which was the main force for his journey this time.
Although most of the Base Variant Creatures on Realm King Planet are not Dragon-type Creatures, even if the Dragon-killing Talent is not effective, with Jiweis’s other talents, it is almost invincible among Base Variant Creatures.
After packing, Lin Shen and Wei Wufu headed to Jinshui Lake together.
Upon arriving at Jinshui Lake, the two found that something was amiss. Wei Wufu took Lin Shen to the Sea Corn Base camp to join the Base Mutators from there.
Once at the Sea Corn Base camp, they discovered that only a few people were left behind to watch the camp, with most absent.
Upon inquiry, Wei Wufu found out that representatives from various bases were holding a meeting to discuss a joint operation.
The two hurried to the meeting, a turn of events that was advantageous to them; traveling with a large group into the fray meant they wouldn’t have to worry about being besieged by the Ultra-Burning Corps.
When they reached the meeting place, thanks to Wei Wufu’s connection to the Wei Family, they easily entered the venue.
Then they discovered that inside the meeting room, a heated argument was in full swing.
