Chapter 17 - Tier 1 Evolver

Chapter 17: Tier 1 EvolverLin Feng returned to his room alone. He closed the door behind him, and his eyes filled with a certain gravity.

Outside, Zhang Heng, now armed with the Type 95 Rifle, stood guard for Lin Feng.

According to Regular Army member Zhang Heng, a lord must always have a guard, even within his own territory, to maintain the hierarchy and respect.

Zhang Heng and Da Niu took turns guarding, which wouldn’t hinder their stamina recovery. Although their stamina would recover more slowly while standing guard, it was still manageable.

Lin Feng sat on the bed, holding the vial of azure Gene Serum in his hand.

His expression was serious, as he knew from those web novels that using such gene serums often brought significant pain to the user.

After all, enhancing one’s strength usually came with some sacrifices, and the risks involved were likely substantial.

Lin Feng took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

He asked the system, “Is this serum to be taken orally or injected intravenously?”

【Unscrew the bottom of the Tier 1 Gene Serum to reveal a needle. Unscrew the top to reveal a plunger. It is to be administered via intravenous injection.】

He decided to ask in advance; he didn’t want to risk using it incorrectly and causing harm.

Lin Feng was very cautious at this moment. He carefully opened the azure serum in his hand.

【Please self-administer the injection】

The scent in the air was quite nostalgic, and Lin Feng took one more deep breath of it.

Then, his gaze became resolute.

Lin Feng’s eyes drifted forward, watching the zombies outside for over a minute, his determination growing even stronger. Sᴇaʀᴄh the N0vᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Without further hesitation, he injected the azure serum into the vein in his left arm.

【Injection successful!】

To Lin Feng’s surprise, there was no immediate reaction.

It felt as if nothing happened. Lin Feng didn’t experience the sensation of his body being overwhelmed. Everything felt normal.

However, just as Lin Feng was about to relax, a sudden surge of power filled his body.

This surge was substantial but didn’t bring any pain to Lin Feng.

He could visibly see muscles forming on his previously lean arms, and his overall demeanor instantly improved.

The muscles didn’t look overly prominent, not to the extent of a bodybuilder, but the sense of power they conveyed was undeniable.

【Congratulations on becoming the world’s first evolver, achieving the milestone: Dawn of Human Evolution (world’s first evolver), and receiving a reward: one intermediate lottery draw.】

【The announcement of your evolution will seek your consent. Would you like to broadcast your evolution level?】

This was the first time the system asked whether to broadcast his information.

“Decline the announcement,” Lin Feng immediately chose to refuse. He didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention. Beyond shocking people, it served no purpose.

Keeping a low profile and accumulating wealth quietly is the wisdom of the ancient Chinese.

Lin Feng then felt something sticky on his body. Pulling his clothes aside, he saw some black substances clinging to his skin. He quickly asked Zhang Heng to fetch a bucket of water, and he took a shower in the second-floor bathroom.

While showering, Lin Feng felt that his evolution had been rather uneventful. He needed to check the effects.

“Read personal information.”

【Reading attributes…】

【Survivor: Lin Feng】

【Evolution Tier: Tier 1】

【Health: 200】

【Stamina: 200/200】

【Attack Power: 15 (without any melee weapon equipped)】

【Trait: Tier 1 Immunity (permanent immunity to Tier 1 viruses)】

【Newbie Task Acquired!】

【Newbie Task: Kill ten ordinary zombies with headshots using your fists. Current progress: 0/10. Task reward: Tang blade】

Lin Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly. His attack power was now comparable to that of a handgun!

A punch to the head could result in a critical hit, and 75 points of damage would definitely exceed the 50 health points of a Tier 1 zombie!

With 15 points of attack power, it meant that as long as he landed a punch on a zombie’s head, he could kill it with a single blow.

Lin Feng looked at his fists, realizing that although his physical enhancements weren’t dramatic—only increasing his stamina and health to 200 points each—his attack power significantly improved.

Moreover, the most important aspect was the newbie task, which could reward him with a weapon.

After finishing his shower, Lin Feng returned to his room. He still felt a sense of instability in the newfound strength within his body.

Lin Feng immediately chose to start the lottery. It was just past ten in the morning, and he estimated that his soldiers’ stamina would be fully recovered by six in the evening. He decided to draw the reward first.

“Choose to draw the reward!”

【Confirming successful draw of intermediate reward! Drawing in progress, please wait…】

A large spinning wheel appeared before Lin Feng.

This wheel was bigger than the previous one, with more items inside,

and better ones!
