Chapter 144 - 144 Elementary Genetic Coder (II)

144 Elementary Genetic Coder (II)

Cain’s focus was solely on the Genetic Chain, and once he finished with it, he immediately analyzed it.

[Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chain: Increase of Wave Talent by 6.9%]

A small smile appeared on Cain’s face as he saw that increase, but it was far from enough to satisfy him. Before trying again, he went through every step, probing different modifications with the [Basic Virtual Simulation] tool.

Cain did that again and again until he finally ended all the material for the ten Genetic Chains. When he analyzed the last one, a smile of satisfaction emerged on his face.

[Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chain: Increase of Wave Talent by 8.8%]

The 10% limit in the information on the Enhanced Wave Drive’s recipe was just a hypothetical mark, and only some of the best Genetic Coders in the entire Godslayer Humankind could achieve it.

Cain was good, but he had just begun his path as a Genetic Coder, so 8.8% was enough for the time being.

Since he already had the Vectors and Genetic Chains, Cain could go to the next step and carry on with the fusing of the two, generating the Wave Virus.

However, before that, Cain chose to enter Embryonic Breathing and allow his mind to rest. He had been working for over twenty hours and was beyond exhausted.

.....

After roughly three hours, Cain opened his eyes and felt much better. His brain was no longer burning due to the overwork.

Cain put a capsule with his first Silver Vector and his first Genetic Chain in the Genetic Chamber and began fusing them. The process itself consisted of putting the Genetic Chain inside the Silver Vector, and while it was highly delicate, it did not involve many steps.

Cain chose his first Silver Vector and first Genetic Chain because they had the lowest efficacy, so if a mistake happened and they were lost, it would hurt him the least. However, he succeeded in the first attempt, and a capsule with a red liquid emerged from the Genetic Chamber.

The reason for the color was a small change that Cain introduced during the fusing of the Vector and Genetic Chain. According to what he had read in Sinar’s Genetic Coder Guide, Genetic Coders like to leave their sign in their Wave Viruses.

Cain had just made an Elementary Wave Virus, so for all intents and purposes, he was an Elementary Genetic Coder. Red would be his signaling mark and a small piece of unique code in the Genetic Chain.

Since he succeeded once, doing it again would not be difficult since it involved the exact same process. In less than an hour, there were ten capsules with a red liquid inside them.

Cain showed a radiant smile as he saw the outcome of his hard work. He had just taken Genetic Coding due to his connection to the [Genetic Coder Module]. Still, he really enjoyed the craft, and there was a great sense of accomplishment in building something instead of just destroying it.

Cain took out two waves crystals and Dragon Blood Grass before grabbing his best Wave Virus and injecting it into his chest.

A few seconds later, Cain’s entire body began to tremble, and his temperature skyrocketed. Even if he knew that the Wave Virus would be beneficial for him, his body would still attempt to fight back.

If the carrier were a Bronze Vector, there would be an 80% chance Cain’s body would have destroyed it before it could induce any significant change.

The fever and muscle spasms lasted for an hour before they began to vanish, only to be replaced by a sense of utter hunger.

Cain felt his entire body demanding nutrition; if he did not give it, his cells would begin to devour each other. He grabbed his wave crystal and Dragon Blood Grass before circulating his cultivation technique and the Blood Refinement Art simultaneously.

Usually, cultivators must use Recovery Capsules and a proper Blood Solution when using a Wave Virus. Still, by employing high-grade resources, Cain could provide his body with all the energy and vitality it needed.

Cain made sure to enter Embryonic Breathing for the process so his body could adapt faster. Thrill appeared on his face as he felt the speed at which he could drive the Life Wave into his body increasing.

After thirty minutes, the sense of hunger vanished, and Cain stopped ferociously circulating the Astral Wave and Dragon Blood Grass’ vitality through his body.

The entire process left him exhausted, but that did not weaken his excitement.

“System, how much did my ability to drive the Life Wave into my body increase, and what is my current Wave Talent?”

The Absolute Life Form System carried on with the task with extreme efficiency.

[Scanning Vessel

...

...

-Vessel’s ability to drive Wave has increased by 8.2%

-Vessel’s current Wave Talent is Pseudo Tier 5]

Cain analyzed the data for a moment, and everything seemed in order. Although the last Enhanced Wave Drive’s Genetic Chain said it would increase his Wave Talent by 8.8%, some of its effects were lost due to the Vector’s flaws.

‘Even if it had a 0% Flaw and could be considered a Pseudo-Golden Vector, it was still a Silver Vector, so this type of thing was bound to happen. As for my Wave Talent’s Tier not increasing, that just means an enhancement of 8.2% is still not enough to rise to the next Tier.’

Overall, Cain was delighted with his accomplishments and the increase in his Wave Talent. 8.2% was a fantastic boost to his cultivation speed, especially if high-grade cultivation resources and Embryonic Breathing enhanced it.

Cain would have enjoyed testing his new cultivation speed right away, but he was too tired to the point that Embryonic Breathing would not be enough, and he needed natural sleep. No more cultivation, just allowing his body to drift into unconsciousness and not care about anything else.

He jumped into his bed, and less than five seconds after touching the pillow, he fell asleep. Even with his high vitality and recovery speed, he slept for over seven hours before finally awakening.

When Cain rose from the bed, he felt good as new. His mind worked perfectly, and his body was energetic, ready to embrace the next task.

Just as he was about to begin his training, Cain remembered someone.

“I wonder how he is doing?”

Cain used the [A.I. Chip Module] to call Levi. He had not seen his friends for over a month, but he was sure this one would be fine. If anything had happened to Levi, Abin would have told him.

The call did not take long to connect, and soon Cain heard a voice that made him smile.

“Cain! It has been a long time. How are you... Ahh, goddamn, that burns!”

Cain grew confused as he heard that scream of pain coming from Levi.

“Are you alright? Do you need help?”

Cain doubted that Levi would be in a battle since if that were the case, this one would never have taken the call, allowing a lapse in focus. Still, if there was a problem, he was ready to ask for Zarak’s help.

“Oh, don’t worry, I am fine... Damn geezer, you are going to roast me alive!”

Cain’s confusion grew even stronger as he heard that. Levi did not seem to be lying, but something was clearly going on. However, before he could ask anything else, Levi spoke again.

“Sorry, but I can not talk right now. Let’s talk when I am back in the fort.”

After saying that, Levi turned off the call, leaving Cain with many questions.

“Well, he sounded fine, so I guess that is something.”

Cain trusted Levi, and since this one told him everything was fine, it was. He took out a wave crystal and Dragon Blood Grass before entering Embryonic Breathing and beginning to cultivate.

The rise in his Wave Talent almost broke Cain’s concentration and took him out of Embryonic Breathing. 8.2% might not seem much, but it was an amazing enhancement to have overnight.

Cain carried on the next few days, focusing three-quarters of his time on cultivation and the other quarter on expanding his skills as Hypnosis Master, Genetic Coder, and assassin.

Monday arrived again, and Cain made sure to have a proper sleep before dashing toward the auditorium. He saw that Orin was in there and nodded to the girl, to which she replied in the same way.

Cain noticed Orin’s aloof attitude, and it was clear she was not interested in small talk, so they both waited in silence for Jonathan.

The second the class was supposed to start, the duo felt a wave of air behind them, and the next thing they saw was Jonathan standing in front of them.

Jonathan stared at the duo and nodded when he saw their focus. It was clear that they were ready to give everything they had and would not slack off just because they secured their position in the class.

“Let’s begin with the second class of the Assassination Military Specialization.”
