The Strongest Gene Chapter 5: The Magical Gene Production Techniques

Gold City, the Grand Magnificent Restaurant was abuzz with students from the third year, second class, celebrating their successful university admissions. Suddenly, a question arose, "Oh yeah, why hasn’t Chen Feng shown up yet?"

Some chuckled, "He’s probably too ashamed to come."

Others joined in the laughter, "For the usual top student to actually fail the university entrance examinations. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to show my face either."

"Haha."

"Precisely."

One student exclaimed, "You have no idea how much my mom nagged me daily, always telling me to be like Chen Feng, who, despite his family's circumstances, still managed to be the top student. I was so annoyed I could have died! Guess what happened when I went home this time? She had absolutely nothing to say. Haha."

Another student let out a hearty laugh.

Clearly, Chen Feng's consistent reign as the top student had bred envy and resentment among his peers.

Class monitor Wang Yue admonished them, "How can you all speak that way? No matter what, he's still our classmate."

"Keh, can’t handle the truth?"

Everyone grinned happily.

"It’s actually a good thing he didn’t come," Wang Yue stated calmly. "With results like these, he’d only feel worse if he were here. We likely won't cross paths again in the future. Perhaps parting ways like this is for the best."

"That’s how it should be," sneered some. "If it weren’t for the high school’s insistence on forging our foundations and prohibiting us from advancing our ranks prematurely, do you think that poor guy could have become the top student based on our backgrounds alone? Hmph! Even if he had gotten into university, he’d be leagues behind us. And now, he didn’t even make it."

Most of them concurred with the sentiment.

Wang Yue smiled, saying no more.

At that exact moment, Wang Yue’s wristband vibrated, and a piece of information appeared silently. As Wang Yue read it, astonishment flickered across his eyes.

Chen Feng was still alive?

That kid had clearly been…

"Come, let’s congratulate our class monitor, Wang, on his admission into North Qing University’s Gene Production Faculty," someone announced.

The crowd raised their glasses.

"Haha, thank you all," Wang Yue acknowledged, switching off his screen as he stood. He returned the toasts.

The room was filled with cheers and laughter.

Meanwhile, in a humble rented room, Chen Feng was finalizing his preparations for gene production.

The gene production process involved three distinct steps.

First step: gene search. This required entering a digitized mode to scan the blood essence for the necessary gene materials, guided by the gene formula.

Second step: gene reaction. Within this stage, specific genes were induced to react with each other under the influence of spiritual energy, transforming into the final desired gene.

Third step: gene fusion. The isolated gene would then be cultivated and duplicated, reacting with an incubator reagent before being processed into a gene-fusion reagent.

"Digitized mode?"

Chen Feng recalled the concept.

The so-called digitized mode was essentially a simulated world of genes created by spiritual energy! In this realm, only genes were visible, greatly aiding those undertaking the gene transformation process!

"Let’s give it a try."

Chen Feng’s gaze fell upon the lumberbear blood essence before him.

"Buzz—"

With utmost care, he enveloped the lumberbear blood essence with his spiritual energy. The instant the blood essence was fully encased, he channeled the spiritual energy within his body.

Digitized world!

Shua!

A brilliant light surged before his eyes.

A semi-illusory realm unfolded, shimmering with countless bizarre lights that flickered and swirled continuously. These were the gene fragments derived from the lumberbear blood essence!

"So this is the digitized mode."

"Entering a gene world invisible to the naked eye."

Chen Feng gained a new understanding.

The first step of lumberbear gene production, the gene search, was not difficult. He simply needed to locate the required gene materials as specified by the formula, which detailed the need for three strains of Ao gene, six strains of Bx gene, and four strains of Nw gene, complete with visual aids. These specific genes were readily available in abundance amidst tens of thousands of other genes.

Chen Feng located all the necessary genes with ease.

First step, completed.

The initial phase of gene production was astonishingly straightforward.

What about the second step?

Chen Feng meticulously read the accompanying description; it appeared to be even simpler.

Indeed.

The process of gene reaction required all thirteen strains of genes discovered by Chen Feng to interact. Fueled by spiritual energy, the genes needed to react sequentially. While this sounded challenging, the lumberbear gene formula provided a detailed sequence for these reactions and the application of spiritual energy.

The formula specified which genes should react first and which should be fused, among other instructions.

In a brief period, the reactions for all thirteen genes concluded, leaving behind a single, resultant gene strain.

This was precisely the final lumberbear gene that was needed!

The procedure was surprisingly simple and direct!

Second step: Gene reaction, successfully completed.

"The initial two steps weren't overly difficult," Chen Feng remarked, taking a deep breath.

As long as one possessed the formula, diligently following the prescribed order for the first two steps was all that was necessary. The original owner of this body had performed these steps numerous times, allowing Chen Feng to easily access the required knowledge from his memories.

However—

The true challenge lay in the third step!

This particular stage was the very obstacle that the original owner had been unable to overcome!

Third step: Gene fusion!

The essential lumberbear gene had been created in the preceding two steps. Yet, it existed only in a digitalized form. A solitary lumberbear gene could not be stored or preserved; thus, this critical third step involved the actual cultivation and duplication of the isolated gene fragment, transforming it into a stable gene reagent.

This stage was exceedingly demanding.

"How do I manage to complete this step?" Chen Feng pondered, carefully examining the process.

During gene fusion, the gene producer must encase the gene within their spiritual energy and transfer it into the gene incubator reagent. There, it would be nurtured and duplicated. Subsequently, the producer needed to distribute this duplicated gene uniformly throughout the liquid, ensuring absolute equilibrium, before withdrawing their spiritual energy. Only then would the genuine lumberbear gene be finalized.

"It doesn't appear overly complicated," Chen Feng mused, deciding to proceed with an attempt.

"Activate!" he commanded.

With great care, he extracted the lumberbear gene and introduced it into the prepared gene incubator reagent—a clear, transparent liquid. Upon the gene's entry, the liquid quickly turned a vibrant blue. Chen Feng watched intently as the blue coloration spread continuously, merging with the reagent.

Soon, the entire liquid within the Petri dish had transformed into a uniform blue hue!

Had it been successful?

Chen Feng felt a surge of anticipation.

Next, Chen Feng slowly withdrew his spiritual energy.

"Phew—" The liquid inside the Petri dish began to churn violently, instilling a sense of foreboding.

"Bang!" The entire volume of liquid erupted!

Splattering everywhere.

"..."

Third step: Gene fusion, failed!

Chen Feng delved back into his research.

The original owner of his body had reached this critical juncture before, facing repeated failures despite numerous attempts. The consistent reason for these failures was the inability to achieve an even distribution of the duplicated gene!

The "evenness" required at this stage was something that could only be grasped through personal experience!

During gene duplication, the gene becomes exceptionally volatile. At this precise moment, spiritual energy is needed to rapidly integrate the gene into the reagent, the sole method to guarantee the reagent's uniformity!

"Evenness..."

"Balance..."

Chen Feng knitted his brow.

This elusive sense could only be acquired through persistent practice.

It was no wonder the success rate was a mere 0.1%!

While the first and second steps of gene production could be perfected with sufficient practice, this final step presented a truly formidable challenge!

For an ordinary person, at least.

However, after activating his Luck Aura, would the gene distribute itself evenly within the gene breeding reagent under its influence?

Chen Feng's hopes began to rise.

He immediately put his thoughts into action.

Chen Feng initiated the gene production process once more.

The first and second steps proceeded with ease, and he soon arrived at the gene fusion stage again.

"Luck Aura, activate!" Chen Feng commanded, activating the ability without hesitation.

Whoosh!

A subtle, almost imperceptible shift seemed to occur within Chen Feng's eyes.

"Fuse!" he urged.

Chen Feng carefully introduced the gene into the gene breeding reagent. He watched as the minuscule blue speck rapidly expanded, much like ink dispersing in water. Within moments, the blue had permeated the entire gene reagent, and slowly, the liquid adopted a clear, brilliant blue color.

"Return!"

Chen Feng gradually retracted his spiritual energy. The blue liquid remained undisturbed.

Success?

Chen Feng's heart pounded with excitement.
