Everyone's surviving in the Dead Sea, my fishing boat is evolving infinitely.

That's not even the most embarrassing part.

The most awkward moment was just as Lu Shuo was about to speak when he saw a snow-white jade foot kicking towards his face.

The next second, Lu Shuo had a cherry lollipop in his mouth.

"Pah! What do you mean by sticking your foot in my mouth?!"

Zhang Yan blushed deeply; she hadn't expected this at all.

She even felt as if her toes had been licked, but she wasn't quite sure.

It could be an illusion.

Did you lick my feet?

"You've insulted my character, and I haven't settled the score with you for that yet!"

Lu Shuo said indignantly.

Looking at Lu Shuo's upright and dignified face, Zhang Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "You don't really look like that kind of person, but my foot really was licked."

"What can I say? You have caused me serious emotional distress, and you must compensate me for my emotional damages."

"What kind of compensation do you want for emotional distress? How about I give you another dose of gunpowder?"

"Okay, deal!"

Lu Shuo answered very decisively.

"So straightforward?"

Zhang Yan was somewhat incredulous.

She had only intended to casually mention it, but unexpectedly, Lu Shuo agreed.

Logically speaking, she stepped on Lu Shuo's face and even stuffed her toes into his mouth. Wouldn't that be an utter disgrace to a man?

Is it that she doesn't understand men, or that she doesn't understand Lu Shuo?

Perhaps the man wasn't angry at all, and was just pretending.

Zhang Yan had no way to expose him, so she had no choice but to agree, "Okay, deal."

The two tacitly let the matter drop and began eating their beef noodles in silence.

However, Lu Shuo did not go to the restroom to rinse his mouth, and Zhang Yan did not remind him.

She was quite embarrassed, after all; her toes still felt wet.

After finishing their beef noodles, the two finally started discussing serious matters.

Lu Shuo took out the basic gene serum he had obtained.

This is a tube of pale blue liquid, contained in a transparent glass test tube.

The liquid was very thick; when the glass tube was shaken, it flowed slowly like jelly.

Inside, there are also twinkling lights, which look as dazzling and brilliant as the Milky Way. On Earth, it would be a product of advanced technology and ruthless craftsmanship.

"Here's the basic gene serum I promised you, now you can have it."

Zhang Yan's eyes lit up immediately, and she excitedly stretched out her hand, saying, "Give it to me quickly."

But Lu Shuo snatched the gene serum back.

Zhang Yan frowned angrily and said:

"What do you mean? You're not thinking of backing out, are you? If you do, you're finished."

Although her scout ship is only at level two, its cannons are no joke.

Even if Lu Shuo wanted to engage in close combat with her here, Zhang Yan wasn't afraid. She wasn't an ordinary person; even five Lu Shuos couldn't defeat her.

"You're thinking way too badly of me."

"I just need to ask you a few questions before I give it to you."

"Go ahead and ask, then give it to me quickly."

Zhang Yan said somewhat anxiously.

"My first question is, what is the purpose of this basic gene serum?"

Zhang Yan looked at Lu Shuo as if he were an idiot and slowly replied, "They're all gene-altering drugs, of course they can change your genes."

"To put it simply, it can promote human evolution. Once you consume it, your physical attributes will be several times better than they are now."

"If you were on Earth in the old days, you would be the world's top athlete."

Lu Shuo suddenly realized what was happening, but he was also extremely shocked.

How could such a small vial of medicine possess such great power?

"The second question is, you've convinced that after consuming gene-enhancing drugs, they'll have the qualities of world-class athletes, but they're still just flesh and blood, and they'll still die if they get hit by a bullet."

"But why did you survive when a bullet pierced your forehead?"

Lu Shuo witnessed Zhang Yan's miraculous return to life.

This resurrection ability is very similar to that of the second-tier monster, the Rotten Shark.

The shark that was hit by the bullet also recovered quickly.

Zhang Yan rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and said:

"You're really patient. I thought you would ask this question right away, but I didn't expect you to hold back until now."

"Because my ability isn't due to the gene serum, but rather a blessing from the Dead Sea. The blessing I received is called 'Resilience'!"

The blessing of the Dead Sea?

Is this the origin of the Blesser?

Lu Shuo then thought of the message he saw on the public chat from the person who had bestowed the blessing: "Looking for a mentor to carry me."

The ability he acquired seems to be related to repair, but Zhang Yan's is not. What's the difference?

"What is the difference between a blessing and a blessing giver, and why can you receive the blessing of the Dead Sea while I do not?"

This is the issue that Lu Shuo cares about most.

Although he could draw gold stats with each vehicle upgrade, he missed out on human evolution.

"Do you think everyone can receive the blessing of the Dead Sea? Only the chosen ones can receive it, okay?"

Zhang Yan's face was full of pride.

"Then tell me, how did you receive this blessing?"

"Actually, I'm not lying to you. Those who receive the blessing are indeed the darlings of the Dead Sea."

"I killed a Tier 2 monster and then I received the blessing of the Dead Sea. It's that simple. I don't really know what the mystery is. It's probably just luck."

Lu Shuo tentatively asked, "Was the monster you killed a rotting shark?"

Zhang Yan was taken aback.

"How do you know? It is true, that second-tier monster is a rotting shark."

"So that's how it is. No wonder your abilities seemed so familiar to me."

"Could it be that you obtained the Tier 3 ship upgrade blueprints because you killed a rotting shark?"

"That's right, but I didn't receive the blessing."

It goes without saying which is more important, the Dead Sea Blessing or the upgrade blueprint.

The chances of losing a blueprint are definitely much greater than the chances of receiving a blessing.

So it's really true that Zhang Yan is the chosen one.

"So what are your current abilities?"

"I possess extremely strong regenerative abilities. Just as you saw, bullets cannot kill me unless continuous attacks overwhelm my recovery rate, at which point I will die."

That's an incredible, cheat-like ability!

Why don't I get it!

Lu Shuo immediately felt a pang of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

"That's not all, I also have greater strength and faster speed, so taking on several of you won't be a problem."

Lu Shuo sneered and ignored her.

He's just an ordinary person, what makes him a match for Zhang Yan?

It's normal for men to lose to women.

"Since you've already received the blessing, what do you need this gene serum for?"

"You're talking nonsense. If you hadn't been willing to give me this gene serum, why would I have come to save you? Do you think I'm a saint?"

"Of course I want to change my genes. My whole body has been enhanced. If I can take another dose of gene serum, my physical body might be comparable to the combat power of a level two ship, or even stronger."

Damn it, I'm angry!

Any monster that dares to come to my deck tonight will die!

Transform into nourishment for me to become a benefactor of blessings!
