The Strongest Gene Chapter 96
What’s the situation?
Chen Feng panicked.
Failed?
What was going on?
Now, Chen Feng truly felt that something had happened.
“The luck values were not being used…”
Chen Feng pondered.
What circumstances would cause the luck values to not be used?
It was when the luck values were unable to complete the assigned task.
When he had activated Luck Aura earlier, he was willing it to complete his production. However, if there was no possibility of the production being successful no matter what, the Luck Aura would not work.
In other words, his current success rate was 0%!
“Is there a problem with the materials?” Chen Feng guessed.
Only when there was some problem with the materials would the production be total failure.
After thinking for a bit, Chen Feng bought another set of materials from a different shop and started his production once again. However, he was speechless, as this time it still resulted in failure.
“It’s not a problem with the materials…”
“First stage, gene search, failed…”
Chen Feng frowned.
Again!
Once again, he started production.
He had not mastered aurora reagent formula. Hence, he had to rely on his luck values. Therefore, he was unable to objectively judge his production process. This time, he decided to use a formula that he had mastered.
Thundersnake gene reagent!
Whoosh!
Chen Feng started production.
This time, Chen Feng fully activated his spiritual energy. After entering the digitized mode, he was not in a hurry to start. Instead, he started patrolling the digitized world.
It did not seem like there were any abnormalities.
“Is it a misconception?” Chen Feng muttered.
Gene search, begin!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
He had long ago familiarized himself with the materials for the thundersnake gene. Hence, he was able to easily search for the required genes in the digitized world. However, Chen Feng suddenly paused his gene search.
A familiar gene had disappeared.
That’s right.
Disappeared.
“There is indeed a problem.”
A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng’s eyes.
“Slow!”
He forced the digitized world to reduce the speed it operated at.
As the digitized world in itself was something formed by spiritual energy, he could exhaust his spiritual energy in order to affect the whole digitized world. The consumption rate when doing this was extremely high, though.
Onefold slower…
Twofold slower…
Threefold slower…
…
Chen Feng reduced the speed non-stop while his spiritual energy was being furiously exhausted. When his 200 points of spiritual energy was nearing the bottom, Chen Feng finally found an abnormality.

“Whoosh!”
A white light streaked past and a gene vanished immediately.
“There’s something.”
Chen Feng’s heart was solemn.
Slower!
“Whoosh!”
The white light streaked past.
Chen Feng fully concentrated his spiritual energy and was finally able to see how the white light looked—it was actually a small snake formed by lightning. Its body traveled back and forth like a sharp arrow!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Lightning streaked past.
It traveled around the digitized world wantonly.
Currently, it did not even realize that Chen Feng had noticed it.
Chen Feng, on the other hand, was looking at it with a dazed expression, only when his spiritual energy was fully exhausted and his digitized world collapsed did Chen Feng recover from his stupor with a stupefied expression on his face.
Tiny lightning snake?
Wait…
What on earth was that!
Chen Feng thought carefully. Although that tiny lighting snake was formed by light, having a good-looking appearance, however, it was essentially an illusionary snake with marquee installed on it!
That’s right!
Illusionary snake!
Exactly the same as the illusionary snake leader Chen Feng had met previously.
Could it be…
Chen Feng abruptly thought of something and immediately looked for the eggshell he took from the Desolate Rocky Grounds. With horror, he found that the eggshell had disappeared.
How could this have happened?
Chen Feng suddenly thought of a possibility.
After that illusionary snake was born, it had never left. Instead, all along, it was hidden within the eggshell. When Chen Feng took the eggshell back, it had been brought back as well.
“Son of a b*tch.”
Chen Feng smiled bitterly.
With that illusionary snake around, he was not able to produce any genes.
Now, he had to get things clarified.
Unable to wait for his spiritual energy to recover, Chen Feng directly bought several spirit recovering reagents. When his spiritual energy was recovered, he entered the digitized mode once again.
This time, he directly reduced the speed and started observing it.
In the digitized world, lightning flickered around. That miniature snake traveled back and forth happily. When it met a gene, it would devour it with a single bite before a comfortable expression was shown on its face.
Chen Feng widened his eyes abruptly.
Eating genes?
Shit!
He suddenly recalled the ancestors of illusionary snakes. That damnable gluttonous snake!
That life-form seemed to be something that had genes as their food. When eating other life forms, their main purpose was to get the genes in the bodies of the other life forms. This specific characteristic of this species had gradually disappeared with time. However, now, it seemed to have reappeared.

Gene returned to its roots?
No.
This was not merely a gene returning to its roots. Instead, this was simply an evolution!
This damnable tiny lighting snake had even stopped eating mutated beasts. Instead, it was now only eating genes! Only eating the genes that went through Chen Feng’s extraction process in the digitized world! Soaring high after Chen Feng constructed the digitized world!
In other words…
Chen Feng finally understood that… the genes he extracted from the blood essence using his spiritual energy and the gene world he formed using the digitized mode were all the food of this fellow?
Damn!
Chen Feng cursed inwardly. No wonder he had failed all his productions!
“This can’t continue.”
A cold glint flickered in Chen Feng’s eyes. This fellow had to be dealt with.
It was extremely difficult to catch the tiny lightning snake.
That was because, even when the digitized world was slowed to its limit, Chen Feng could only see it after great difficulty.
In this state, if Chen Feng was to make his move, his speed would also be slowed to its limit, nearly not moving at all. Under normal circumstances, this fellow was uncatchable!
However…
This was only applied to an ordinary person.
Chen Feng sneered.
Once again, he recovered his spiritual energy and entered the digitized world. However, this time, Chen Feng did not reduce the speed. Instead, he directly activated Luck Aura.
Whoosh!
Light streaked past.
Chen Feng casually grabbed at the air with his right hand.
“Hum—”
In the digitized world, it could be clearly seen that a tiny lightning snake was grabbed by a huge hand. It had an ominous feeling and started escaping quickly. However, it was obstructed by one gene after another that just happened to pass by the area. The boundless foods that used to fascinate it were now things that were obstructing its path of escape.
Whoosh!
Chen Feng caught it easily.
Ci—
Ci—
The tiny lightning snake flickered unceasingly, like a “signal lost” indication on a communication device. However, after trying a few times yet failing to get away, it could only give up.
So this was the fellow?
Chen Feng carefully observed this tiny snake.
Mhm…
Couldn’t be seen clearly.
Different than ordinary illusionary snakes, this fellow seemed to be formed by light particles! It could even change its color and brightness at will.
A marquee indeed!
Chen Feng was too tired to even berate this thing.
No wonder it couldn’t be seen previously. When it hatched, this guy had assumed the same color as the eggshell, so it was not found at all.
Or it might also be…
In reality, its body was also formed of light particles?
Hum—
Chen Feng suddenly heard a whine.
When he looked carefully, it was actually the tiny snake in his hand begging for forgiveness from him.
It even had intelligence?
Chen Feng exclaimed in admiration.
“You can understand my words? Chen Feng asked.
This perfectly straight string of light in his hand suddenly bent down several times.
Chen Feng: “…”
Was this the snake nodding?
“Your body in the real world is also the same?” Chen Feng asked.
The string of light did not respond after a long time, probably unable to understand Chen Feng’s meaning.
“Can’t understand?”
Chen Feng was somewhat disappointed.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The light string shook its body unceasingly.
What does this mean?
Chen Feng was confused.
The string of light seemed to be anxious now. A layer of faint light flickered on his body. Instantly, the whole digitized world was engulfed by the light. Chen Feng’s digitized world collapsed instantly.
Not good.
Chen Feng had an ominous feeling.
This tiny lightning snake still had this move up its sleeve!
At this moment of shock, Chen Feng had returned to the real world. However, the moment he lowered his head, he saw something that was totally unimaginable—
That tiny lightning snake was actually still in his hand!
Hum!
The string of light slightly curved its body, nodding to Chen Feng, seemingly proud of its achievement.
Chen Feng was shocked.
Could it be…
He finally knew what the string of light meant.
Main body!
This was in actuality its main body!
Different from Chen Feng that had constructed a digitized world and entered it using his spiritual body, the snake could enter the digitized world with its main body! It could actually travel between the spiritual world and real world with its main body!

BODY&SHADOW
AN ILLUSTRATED NOVEL • UPDATES TUESDAY AND FRIDAY In a time before living memory, the King Dragon of the Void watched the world and realized there was a crack. He realized that humanity was destroying the rock upon which they lived; they leaked life’s code into the churning chaos. At first the change was imperceptible: nanites overtook microorganisms, bacteria, viruses, amoebas. Insects became increasingly inorganic; birds and lizards followed soon after. Even humans were infected by their own advances, cell by cell, till there was not a person left on earth who wasn’t at least part synthetic, the product of a prior generation’s carelessness. The world’s population was ravaged by mechanical viruses with no vaccines; they were mercilessly overtaken by bacteria that knew no death. Soon, most of the planet was empty and only a handful remained who remembered the hedonist realm they came from; only a few were left who remembered what the world looked like when their buildings touched the sky. The King Dragon of the Void watched the rock turn. He watched humans cower as the Old World fell down around them; watched their great monuments crumble into dusty ruins; watched their codes become precious, ancient gem memories forged under the crushing pressure of so many fallen stones. The world has spun many times around the sun since chaos swallowed man whole. It is a simpler time than the one that died out, but the people now are not immune to the folly of the people before. There is old code everywhere: in the water, in the air, in the trees. The heart of man has been replaced by power cores, many of which are hard-coded with preternatural abilities—when they die, an esoteric mountain sect collects their cores and stores them in their hollow mountain home to preserve the sanctity and dignity of human death. They’ve learned to harness artifacts of the old world, gemstones full of codes their nanite infused bodies can parse as spells imbuing their users with great power; they inlay them into their bodies, into their skins, connected to their cores by copper conduit and gold tracers; they dress themselves in tattoos to advertise their prowess; they battle for relics in arenas, fight for them in the open world wherever they are found. The King Dragon of the Void watches the rock turn and wonders: when will this hunger finally make the rock stop spinning? WELCOME TO FANXING CITY … Twenty-five years ago, Fanxing City and the surrounding lands were commanded by the mad King Zao Beiguan. For many years, the King hoarded wealth, artifacts, food; he demanded tribute from a people already taxed to the edges of their existence and expected they be happy with their circumstances. Noncompliance was often punished harshly, bodies displayed proudly on Fanxing’s streets as a warning, from the city gates to the Zao palace’s golden doors. The youths of several prominent clans came together to overthrow the tyrant and made names for themselves as legendary heroes across the land: Tian, Ren, Feng, Gui, Ma, and Zhenxi. Even wanderers from the Luanshi sect descended from Yunji mountain to aid the rebellion. When the dust settled after three years, Tian Yunyong ascended the throne of Fanxing and swore to honour his slain father’s memory, and has maintained Fanxing’s peace with generosity and mercy where fear and cruelty once reigned.

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
