Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 88 Hundred Days
After the battle, Xu Feng had just recovered some energy from the backlash of opening the gene lock, and he immediately grabbed a handful of pure yang glutinous rice from the space bag and applied it on the wound.

The yang energy of glutinous rice and the yin energy of the corpse poison offset each other at the wound, and a sharp pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow was transmitted from the wound to Xu Feng's mind.

If it were the Xu Feng of the past, facing such severe pain, she would inevitably grit her teeth and wail in agony.

But after enduring the backlash of opening the gene lock, he felt that this kind of severe pain was nothing and didn't even frown.

Taoist Qianhe, who had caught up with them, widened his eyes when he saw this scene.

He bowed to Xu Feng and said, "You are truly an extraordinary person! Thank you so much for your help."

Taoist Qianhe only fought with the zombie for a while, but in that short moment, he already realized that he was probably no match for the zombie.

If it weren't for the person in front of him, he would have suffered a great loss just now.

This is definitely a life-saving grace.

Xu Feng forced a smile on his face, which was twisted by pain: "Slaying demons and eliminating evil is the duty of warriors like us."

He is serious about gaining favor with decent characters.

He then asked Taoist Qianhe, "Master, now that I've smashed this zombie into pieces, will those people who are escorting it give you any trouble?"

In the original plot, this royal zombie killed all the people escorting the corpse, so killing this zombie naturally would not have any consequences.

But now, this zombie was blown away before it could hurt anyone, and no trace of its body was left.

Those escorting the people might not necessarily think that Xu Feng saved their lives.

Instead, they might feel that Xu Feng had ruined their mission.

Xu Feng himself was not afraid of those guards. Those people were not like the royal zombies who could even block the bullets from the Gauss submachine gun.

Taoist Qianhe was very open-minded: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, this corpse has become a spirit due to the thunder tribulation. If it is not eliminated in time, it will inevitably harm the human world! I will naturally explain this matter to Manager Wu. It's nothing more than giving up the reward I deserve."

Xu Feng thought about it. Although he had received reward points from the Lord God, he was worried that the matter was not over yet.

If Taoist Qianhe was killed inexplicably and the Lord God deducted his and Shoko's reward points, then they would both suffer a great loss.

So he opened his mouth and said:
"Master Qianhe, I suspect there's something fishy going on with the corpse transformation. If you don't have anything important to do recently, why not stay with Master Simu for a while?"

He told the Taoist priest in detail about his discoveries in Tengteng Town.

As a visitor from outside the world, his understanding of this world is limited to the small amount of information revealed in the movie. Xu Feng believes that as a native of this world, Taoist Qianhe will definitely know more details.

The Taoist priest should be able to understand what he means after learning the information he provided.

Taoist Qianhe thought about it for a moment and agreed to this decision.

Just as Xu Feng had expected, the escort team was actually somewhat dissatisfied with Taoist Qianhe and Xu Feng.

Although the zombies were powerful, they were unable to hurt anyone.

Moreover, the royal zombie was already a zombie when it set out, and Taoist Qianhe's task was to prevent it from having an accident on the road.

Now, not only did they not take good care of this "royal relative", but after it escaped, they even beat it to a pulp.

This is a complete mission failure!

Faced with the manager's aggressive attitude, Taoist Qianhe still wanted to explain.

But Xu Feng did not tolerate the other party at all. He took out a pile of gold bars from his arms and said directly to the soldiers: Whoever is willing to beat up the manager can get a gold bar.

The Qing Dynasty was about to collapse, and those brave soldiers were just trying to make a living. Under the temptation of huge sums of money, they naturally defected easily. Of course, this was also related to Xu Feng's strong strength.

If those soldiers had not seen Xu Feng chasing and beating the scary zombie and knew that Xu Feng was an extraordinary warrior, they might have had evil thoughts and started to rob the pile of gold bars after seeing them.

After everything was settled, Xu Feng, Taoist Qianhe and several of his disciples returned to Taoist Simu's residence.

Xu Feng spent the next month practicing.

During this period, he went out and bought many classic scriptures from Taoism and Buddhism. When he was not practicing internal skills, he would hold the scriptures and read them.

When he strengthened his internal strength, he did not need the combat effectiveness of the internal strength. He only regarded it as a "power bank" for the future protective shield. However, he did not care about the internal strength because of this. In his opinion, since he had chosen this energy system, it would always be a good idea to learn more about the knowledge related to this energy system.

At least, taking a shortcut will be more convenient and safer.

When faced with those scriptures at the beginning, Xu Feng did not seek to understand them in depth, but just memorized the scriptures.

Afterwards, he asked the three masters about the meaning of the scriptures word by word.

In the first half month, Xu Feng read more Taoist classics.

During that half month, he learned a lot of Taoist terms from the two Taoist priests. These terms are extremely important in the practice of internal energy. In terms of modern science, those terms are like "vector", "particle", "dimension", "work", "medium" and so on. If you don't understand the meaning of those terms, you will not be able to understand modern science at all; by the same token, if you don't understand those Taoist terms, you will not be able to get started with many internal energy secrets.

Half a month later, after his body had completely recovered, Xu Feng once again tried to actively open the gene lock.

This time, he succeeded!

When he actively activated the gene lock, he gained a greater improvement and could burst out with stronger strength. Even the duration of the power was longer than the three previous times when the gene lock was activated under dangerous stimulation.

After opening the gene lock, Xu Feng used the equipment to accurately test his condition.

The miraculous ability to foresee danger, the fighting instinct to instantly come up with the optimal solution, the control power accurate to the millimeter level, the nerve reaction speed that can see the trajectory of the bullet's flight, the strength that is about 30% stronger than normal, the memory that can remember everything he sees... these are the improvements that the first-level gene lock brings him.

Not to mention the improvements in combat, Xu Feng was already envious of the learning ability in the gene-locked state.

In the gene lock state, a scripture of several thousand words can be completely memorized just by glancing over it once.

Moreover, he did not just swallow the book in a holistic way; instead, he gained a certain understanding while reading.

After once again realizing the power of the gene lock, Xu Feng re-planned in his mind the exchange after the end of this exchange time and returned to the main god space.

During these one hundred days, he triggered three side quests.

A total of two C-level and two D-level side stories were obtained.

A month ago, Xu Feng actually planned to borrow a D-level side story from Xiangzi and directly exchange it for a B-level energy shield armor - an energy shield at this price can even withstand a nuclear explosion!

If he could exchange for a B-class armor, he would then have Gauss guns for attack and an energy shield capable of withstanding nuclear explosions for defense. Under the difficulty of the East China Sea team, there would be almost no chance of him failing - even if there were newcomers who disliked him and tried to use the 'self-destructive tactic' against him, he wouldn't need to be afraid!
At that time, he felt extremely safe.

After discovering more capabilities of the gene lock, Xu Feng planned to postpone exchanging the item for a while.

Now, his core requirement is to improve the level of the gene lock!

It would be best if the second-level gene lock could be activated before the captain certification...

So, in the second half of the month with the three masters, Xu Feng changed his main learning goal to Buddhist scriptures.

He has already figured out what he wants to exchange!
