The Strongest Gene Chapter 10
“You are?”
Chen Feng raised his head doubtfully.
“I am King Kong, the manager of this virtual shop,” the tall and stout silhouette stated coldly.
“Oh, hello.”
Chen Feng was somewhat surprised.
“Hehe, hello my ass!” King Kong raged, “I, your father, haven’t been here for two days, yet the sales volume has dropped by 50%! Who gave you the guts to sell genes at my place? Merely a rookie. Even your products are those trashy lumberbear genes. Do you know how much loss I, your father, made in the past two days?!”
“A normal lumberbear gene can only be sold at 5,000 yuan. A peak-attribute outstanding lumberbear gene is worth no less than 10,000 yuan!”
“The genes you put up were the trashiest ones that are hard to sell. The high attribute genes put up by others will be sold in a few hours. The assigned spot would thus be cleared and be available for business again. Do you know how much of my business you have blocked?”
King Kong was raging.
“Oh.”
Chen Feng was feeling doubtful. “Why don’t you set up a restriction order?”
Restriction order.
It was the value-added service provided by the trusteeship system. The virtual community needed to make money, after all. Hence, the trusteeship of the gene shops only had a simple rule. Only after buying the restriction order could one set up rules as they wished. For example—restricting the gene categories, gene types, and gene attributes, and even a blacklist could be added.
With a fee of 10,000 per month, it was a necessity for shops with a certain level of traffic.
King Kong’s expression froze.
“Seems like you didn’t buy it.”
Chen Feng understood.
This fellow did not want to spend this 10,000 yuan, yet he also did not want rookie gene producers to sell at his place. However, under normal circumstances, when people would sell, they would simply sell wherever available. Who knew what kind of conditions you had? This was a perfect example of a dishonest person. Since you didn’t set up restrictions, how would someone know what conditions you had? By guessing?
“Do I, your father, need you to control my sale?” King Kong flew into a rage out of humiliation and bellowed, “Scram! My, your father’s, place does not welcome rookies.”

“Alright.”
Chen Feng lightly nodded and left.
Only after this did King Kong feel satisfied. Hmph, to spend 10,000 yuan to set up a rule? It was not necessary at all. These rookies, one only needed to give them a good scolding and they wouldn’t dare to come.
However.
As he turned around, his face froze.
One after another, lumberbear gene reagents appeared on the originally empty glass shelves. All eight empty spaces were suddenly filled!
And these genes…
“F*ck!”
“Damnable bastard!”
King Kong was shuddering due to extreme anger. The fellow just now actually assigned all his genes for sale before leaving? And to do it in front of his face?
How could he be so thick-faced to such extent!
King Kong was bursting with rage.
At this moment, Chen Feng returned to reality in a relaxed manner.
King Kong’s threat?
He totally didn’t care. Since you didn’t have a restriction order, that meant he was totally entitled to sell there. It was reasonable and fair!
Wanted to restrict him?
Just obediently go and buy a value-added service.
However, Chen Feng had finally understood the circumstances and hardships of a normal gene producer.
They already needed to invest a large amount of resources during the initial period, but even when selling gene reagents, they would be discriminated against. No wonder so many people preferred to sell directly to the shops. They would rather lose some profit then to be grieved in this way.
“Seems like if I want to make a profit, I still need an outstanding lumberbear gene.”
Chen Feng contemplated.
After focusing all his energy on gene fusion during this period of time, he had completely mastered the formula. Now, he could start attacking the higher levels!
For example—
High-attribute outstanding genes!
There were three types of high-attribute lumberbear genes. Three points of strength, three points of physique, or both.
There were three steps in gene production, with the third step being the crucial point concerning the success of the fusion. On the other hand, the first step, gene search, was the crucial point for producing a high attribute gene.
The reason was simple: materials.
The gene fragments found during the first step were the fusion materials during the subsequent reaction and fusion stages! Only the best gene materials could produce the best attributes!

“The best gene…”
Chen Feng contemplated.
Wrapping up the lumberbear blood essence with his spiritual energy, brilliant light swirled before Chen Feng’s eyes as he entered the digitized world.
Countless genes were swirling about.
Chen Feng was able to easily find the required gene materials for the lumberbear gene. However, all of these were common genes.
“Outstanding genes, eh?”
Chen Feng decided to wait a while.
However, after waiting for a full two minutes, only one gene strain that seemed to be onefold larger than the other genes appeared. Evidently, these genes were low in quantity.
“This won’t do.”
Chen Feng frowned.
Only one gene strain was found in two minutes. How much time would he require to replace all 13 strains of genes with these bigger genes?
“Speed up!”
Chen Feng urged his spiritual energy on and sped up the operation speed of the whole digitized world.
The originally slow moving genes started to accelerate. Chen Feng looked at every gene that flashed through in front of him and retained those that were comparatively larger.
However, just as he caught the sixth gene strain, the world before his eyes started flickering.
Bang!
The digitized world collapsed!
The world before him returned to normal and the lumberbear blood essence turned into a clump of blood-colored mist.
“Failed.”
Chen Feng shook his head.
Spiritual energy fully exhausted!
This was his first failure at the gene search stage!
His current maximum spiritual energy was 30 points. However, even after exhausting all his spiritual energy, he could not collect even half of the required outstanding genes. He didn’t even get to start thinking about producing the high-attribute genes!
Furthermore, with the degree of spiritual energy exhaustion, even if he managed to produce it, what use would it be?
The gains totally couldn’t make up for the losses!
Chen Feng required at least 60 points of spiritual energy to produce one outstanding lumberbear gene! And this did not even take into consideration the situations involving black face and bad luck!
Exchanging 60 points of spiritual energy for one outstanding lumberbear gene?
He would not do it at all.
“Not worth it,” Chen Feng muttered to himself.
The reason he had tried to produce outstanding lumberbear genes was due to a shortage of money. However, in order to make money, if he were to use this way of production to produce an outstanding lumberbear gene, he would instead lose a lot of money!
“Let’s check online and learn some gene search skills as well,” Chen Feng contemplated. If he were to practice more, the exhausted spiritual energy might drop to around 40 points; however, that was already the limit!
As for the others, it would be dependent on luck.
This was precisely why those rookie gene producers were mostly focused on producing ordinary genes only as a form of practice. As long as the income and costs were balanced and they were not making many losses, it would be sufficient. High-attribute outstanding genes?
Those were the production of gene-producer grandmasters!
A gene-producer grandmaster did not lack spiritual energy at all. They could create large quantities of peak-attribute genes any time. The rate at which their spiritual energy was exhausted might even be slower than their spiritual energy recovery.
“Seems like I can only produce it in the future?”
Chen Feng felt somewhat regretful.
Right at this moment, however, he suddenly remembered one thing—gene search was dependent on luck! What if he were to use Luck Aura?
“It’s worth a try.”
Chen Feng was suddenly excited.
After preparing the materials, Chen Feng inhaled deeply.
Rise!
His spiritual energy slowly wrapped around the lumberbear gene, and he instantly entered the digitized world.
“Hum—”
Luck Aura, activate!
Chen Feng opened his eyes and was immediately alarmed.
A countless number of genes swam around before him. The speed was not fast; however, the genes that appeared were all the strongest genes! The strongest genes amounting to several tens of thousands actually appeared in the first batch!
Shua!
Shua!
Chen Feng captured these strongest genes.
First step completed. One point of luck value used.
Chen Feng deactivated the Luck Aura and went through the subsequent production phase normally. Nowadays, he could already guarantee success during his gene fusion step, so he did not need to worry about failing.
Shortly after, the gene reagent became an azure color.
Production completed.
Shua.
Gene assessment completed and the data of the gene appeared on the screen.
—-
Lumberbear Gene.
Basic attributes: Strength: 3 points, Physique: 3 points.
Genetic ability: Lumberbear’s wrath, Increased strength by 10 points for 10 seconds, 60 second cooldown.

Displaced
Sucked into the void without warning, a handful of people from around the globe suddenly find themselves in the foreign world of Scyria, a place filled with people who can jump three times their height, conjure fire from thin air, and perform any number of other inhuman feats. Scattered across the realm and armed with newfound powers far greater than those of the native Scyrians, they each struggle to find their path in this unfamiliar reality. Their unforeseen arrival sends tremors throughout the world, toppling a centuries-long age of relative peace, prosperity, and progress as they each leave their mark on the world in their own ways. But Scyria has its own share of intrigue, even without these unwelcome guests. A major metropolis is wiped from existence out of nowhere, triggering a manhunt across the continent for those deemed responsible. Two feuding nations decide to bring their hostilities to a new level. Blades clash, nations fall, and plots years in the making begin to reveal themselves. This is the story of some unwilling trespassers, taken from their lives against their will and thrown into situations they barely understand. This is the story of some unfortunate Scyrians, their lives blown apart by the newcomers’ sudden and destabilizing existence. This is the story of Scyria, a world with a lost past buried beneath millenia. But as both the Earthlings and Scyrians are about to find out, sometimes the past doesn’t stay buried forever... I marked the story as having Gore, Sexual Content, and Traumatising content because it does contain a bit of all three, though not what I believe is a significant amount. Just wanted to be safe. It does contain a whole lot of profanity, though. That one is very much deserved. I post one chapter ahead on Patreon here, you can get it for a dollar: https://www.patreon.com/IrateRapScallion My Discord server for discussing the story and whatever else: https://discord.gg/uycZBbv Please vote for my story on Top Web Fiction by clicking here: http://topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=displaced Thanks!

8 76Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
