nBullet Time was a physiological phenomenon that was not very well-known.

nWhen the human spirit exceeded a certain limit, their thinking speed, observation ability, and reaction speed would increase greatly. The world around would feel as though it had been slowed down by a slow button; in this state, they could even dodge bullets shot at them.

nThis was a special state called Bullet Time.

nThe hormone responsible for causing this increase in nerve activity was adrenaline.

nAs Feng Lin drank what was likely a perfect-grade Adrenaline Potion, he felt the world slow down to the max. His soul seemed to be in another space that was overlooking the world from God’s perspective.

nPeople’s movements seemed to come to a halt. The change was slow but orderly.

nThis was a wonderful feeling. His soul seemed to have exceeded its bounds. He could sense everything in the world, gaining a sense of omniscience.

nAfter an unknown amount of time had passed, Feng Lin shook as though he had just awakened from a dream. His soul instantly returned to his body.

nAfter the short scare, he was overwhelmed with shock!

nHe had actually created a perfect-grade potion.

nFeng Lin gasped for breaths one after another, his entire body shaking. Every muscle in his body was tightened with tension and trembling non-stop. He felt as though he was about to collapse.

nBullet Time allowed the user to increase their thinking speed, but the burden on the body was too great. This was not something that could be used for a very long time; otherwise, the body would not be able to bear it. Overusing this ability would lead to the user’s collapse.

nThis was not the potion’s side effect, rather it was natural physiology of the human body.

nJust like food could provide nutrition for the body without much side effects, if one was to overeat, then the burden on the stomach would be too great. Before long, the stomach would not be able to withstand it, and the person would be dizzy and congested.

nThe potion from before did not cause any painful sensation at all.

n…

nGenetic potential – 30%!

nDuration time 20 seconds!

n…

nThis large reduction in potential meant that the medicinal properties were 4 folds from the original formula. The duration of effect was even over 2 folds, and the potion had no side effects.

nWithout a doubt, his enhancements to the potion was another success. He had created a perfect-grade gene potion.

nThe end resulting potion formula was: Dragonblood flower 36 milliliters, waterjade powder 18 grams, losoto solution 108 milliliters, catalytic cream 12 grams, spirit powder 18 grams, fluid ice 32 milliliters…

nFeng Lin silently recorded all the formulas from his experiments. Without any further experiments, he closed his eyes to rest.

nHis continuous consumption of potions caused a large amount of fatigue to accumulate in his body and spirit. He needed to rest.

nHowever, this scene was irritating for everyone within the busy R&D Department.

n“That brat got some nerves! Does he not know team leader Aike hates slackers? He dares sleep in public like this?”

n“His mission to improve the potion probably failed. That’s why he has given up.”

n“That brat has some horrible luck. Who let him question human experiments and offend team leader Aike. He’s out of luck!”

n…

nThose so-called colleagues saw how tired Feng Lin was and sullenly laughed at him.

nFeng Lin did not pay them any heed. He observed his own body’s changes with surprise.

nA gene awakening had occurred due to the continuous stimulation from the potion testing.

nSince he kept drinking the Adrenaline Potion, his gene was continuously stimulated. The genetic potential that had been reduced had unknowingly added to 100%. This was the equivalent of one genetic point that could be added to the Adrenaline Gene.

nThe strengthening tally of Adrenaline Gene had changed from 0 to 1.

nThis meant that Feng Lin had awakened a new gene—the Adrenaline Gene.

nA new golden constellation lit up in the genetic equation’s genetic map!

nEach golden star represented an awakened gene.

nHowever, this new constellation was far from the location of the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene. It was seemingly out of place.

nFeng Lin focused his mind and saw the gene’s attributes.

n…

nGene: Adrenaline Gene

nGrade: Perfect-grade Basic Genes

nStrengthening tally: 1

nAbility: Bullet Time (Secreted adrenaline stimulating and increase thought and consciousness speed”

n…

nPerfect-grade gene!

nIt turned out to be a Perfect-grade basic gene!

nFeng Lin was shocked.

nEach gene-type could be classified into different grades. The classifications were low-grade, mid-grade, variation-grade, high-grade and perfect-grade.

nThe higher grade the gene, the stronger the genetic abilities were.

nA perfect-grade gene implied that there were no defects. The ability was perfect. Compared to the genes of the same level, it was considered an invincible existence.

nFeng Lin thought that the Adrenaline Gene’s abilities were definitely a bug. It could be said that it was a glitch with no way to fix.

nThis Adrenaline Gene could allow the user to enter Bullet Time, allowing the user to think and react faster than an ordinary person.

nIn a battle where every second counted, this was a decisive advantage that could determine life and death.

nBullet Time’s ability was measured in the milliseconds, giving the user the decisive opportunity. Even though there was no direct relation to the combat power, the assistance provided was heaven-defying to say the least.

nBut there was always a catch—the only downside was that it created a huge burden on the user.

nThis was not a flaw of the gene, but rather that the genetic ability was too overbearing. If the body could not withstand it, then this was a fundamental issue with the user’s evolution level, which hadn’t met the requirements to use the ability.

nIf the user increased their vitality, then Bullet Time could be used anytime without any side effects.

nFeng Lin did not know if he should cry or laugh; he had simply been trying to improve the potion formula. Never in his wildest dreams would he ever thought that he would awaken such a formidable gene. This was an unexpected surprise!

nAfter some more experiments, he had acquired quite an understanding in the field of potions.

nThe technique—gene micro-manipulation—would guarantee success in any potion-related endeavor within the realm of gene potion manufacturing. With such a trump card, he was especially confident in his future as a geneticist.

nThis was something that he would not leak to anyone else. Otherwise, he would be targeted.

nFeng Lin stopped working on improving the potion formulas. He closed his eyes to rest and recover from the day’s fatigue.

nSeeing Feng Lin’s carefree expression, Aike’s expression became gloomy. He walked over and spoke, “What are you doing? Did you finish your mission? The research department does not keep slackers. Don’t get full of yourself!”

nFeng Lin slowly opened his eyes and looked over. He calmly spoke, “I have already successfully improved the potion formula, completing the mission that you gave me. Am I not allowed to rest?”

n“What? You did what?” Ai Ke was stunned.

nImproving gene potion formula was something that was only possible for geneticists. How could a mere genetic researcher accomplish this?

nHe had given him this challenge because he wanted to knock the brat down from his high horse. He wanted Feng Lin to know that even if he was a special candidate brought in by manager Frank, he should not nonchalantly question the R&D Department’s methods.

nHowever, he had never thought in a million years that this brat would accomplish the challenge of improving the Adrenaline Potion. How was this even possible?

nThe surrounding people who heard this was left speechless.

n“A genetic researcher completing an improvement on a gene potion? Don’t lie to me!” Aike said coldly.

nFeng Lin was not angered, rather he smiled. “I will send your earlier words back to you. Just because you don’t know, does not mean it is impossible!”

nAike narrowed his eyes. His face was as dark as a ghost. “Fine! Take out your improved formula. If you are trying to pull a fast one on me, don’t blame me for being harsh!”

nHis tone was completely cold. Anyone could feel the hidden threat in his words.

nFeng Lin hesitated for a bit. Once Aike saw this, he coldly laughed and thought to himself.

nTo dare boast without any actual abilities, now he can’t even take out a formula!

nThis is good too, let me expose your true appearance and see how you will stay in this department.

nWhen the time comes, even Manager Frank could not oppose the opinion of everyone within the R&D Department and try to keep you here!

nUnfortunately, he had guessed incorrectly.

nIt was not that Feng Lin could not present a formula, but he was trying to decide which one of his improved version he should present.

nHe had too many improved formulas!

nIf he presented the perfect-grade formula, he would take a loss.

nHowever, if he presented the mid-grade improved formula, the effects would not be obvious. Aike would also not accept the result.

nIn order to silence his critics, Feng Lin decided to present the high-grade potion formula.

nThinking of this, he decisively retrieved the identity microchip and transferred the high-grade potion formula over.

nAike had a cold smile on his face, he casually browsed the formula.

nBut as he kept reading on and on…

nThe smile was wiped off his face.
