Inch of Radiance Vol 1 Chapter 16.1

Book 1 Chapter 16.1 – B1 Gene Medicine

“Li Yang, Male, 24 years old. Entered the military at the age of 16. Due to his exceptional performance, he was admitted into the special forces the same year. At the age of 20, he entered the elite squadron ‘Dragon Fang’ of the special forces, and two years later, due to his achievements as well as his Flying Dagger, he was recruited into the Security Bureau 9th Division stationed in Shanghai. Within the last two years, he completed an A-ranked mission, and later, his girlfriend Jiang Xue was hounded to death by Holy Forest Group’s Lin Tianyu. Immediately following this event, he attempted to assassinate Lin Tianyu out of anger, however, ending in failure. As a result of insufficient evidence on Lin Tianyu forcing Jiang Xue to suicide, Lin Tianyu is deemed innocent, and Li Yang was the one that was inflicted with the death penalty! His body’s power is around 70-80 crystals!”

A white-bearded elder looked at the report within his hand and muttered, “Body energy of 70 crystals, not bad, not bad.”

Soon after, the white-haired elder picked up a phone from the desk and said, “General Wang, I want you to directly send some men to escort Li Yang here.” After speaking, he didn’t wait for General Wang’s reaction and directly hung up the phone.

Meanwhile, General Wang was currently within his home as he distractedly looked at the phone in his hand. Only after a short while did he finally show some reaction, and became excited. He immediately dialed a number and told his subordinates, “Directly escort Li Yang to Biological Research Institution Base Number Two.”

…

Li Yang felt that something was strange. Originally, when he found out that he was going to receive the death penalty several days later, he wanted Overlord Xiang Yu to use his escape technique to leave. Now, however, he was being sent to an underground base.

“How much did this underground base cost to create… If it really is a multistory building, then the Heavenly Net base would just be a small grass hut.” Li Yang looked at the scene in front of him and did not feel much difference.

As for exactly how big this underground base, Li Yang could not determine yet. However, Li Yang already knew that this underground base had a total of three layers, and each layer was much bigger than Heavenly Net base.

One after another, white-coated elders and youth wearing glasses passed by, and Li Yang was escorted by SWAT members to an office.

Upon entering the room, Li Yang saw a white-bearded elder.

“Expert, definitely an expert!” Li Yang had already realized three great realms, and although his body wasn’t that powerful yet, his mental realm was rather high. He was able to feel the formidable power coming from the white-bearded elder in front of him.

“Hei, Li Yang you brat, you finally get to meet a real true way cultivator. This elder in front of you is precisely an expert who has condensed a golden dan.”

The white-bearded elder looked at Li Yang, and the smile on his face was brilliant. It was as if he was looking at a harmless little white rabbit. “You are the one called Li Yang right? This elder today will grandly introduce you to the fruits of my country’s research efforts — Model B1 Gene Medicine!”

While speaking, a small blue-colored bottle appeared from within one of the white-bearded elder’s hands.

Li Yang furrowed his eyebrows and replying in confusion, “B1 Gene Medicine? What is the relationship between this and the A1, A2 and A3 Gene Medicine?”

When the white-bearded elder heard this, he immediately beamed with happiness. “Good! Since you know about the A Series Gene medicine, things will be much easier to explain! Heng Heng, first of all, this elder wants to seriously state one thing, on the field of biological research, our country has always been at the peak of the world. That’s why this A1, A2 and A3 had already been developed within my country way earlier than the others, however, my country simply kept it a secret.”

Li Yang in turn asked, “En, the A Series Gene Medicine allows a person’s physical body to increase in strength. From A1 to A3, the mortality rate drops from fifty percent to zero. What are the results of this B1 Gene Medicine?”

The white-haired elder spoke proudly, “The results of the B series medicine far surpasses that of the A series, and surpasses it by an entire grade. While the A series gene medicine could improve one’s physical body by hundreds of crystals, this B series medicine can increase it by the thousands.”

When Li Yang heard his, he immediately became completely stupefied!

Several thousand crystals! The B Series Gene Medicine was actually this great!

This was like giving birth to a manufactured fourth-ranked expert!

Suddenly, Li Yang’s brows suddenly furrowed. He thought of a problem, and shortly after asked, “In regards to the A Series Gene Medicine, the A1 Gene Medicine has the highest mortality rate of fifty percent. In that case, how high is the mortality rate of this B1 medicine?”

When the white-bearded elder heard this, he immediately became mute. Only after a short while when he could no longer bear Li Yang’s glare did he reply, “This… Although the results are good, the mortality rate will follow as well. In addition, this is the B Series’ first batch of medicine, and so it’s still quite imperfect!”

Li Yang was getting a bit impatient. “How high exactly is the mortality rate?”

The white-bearded elder replied, “Haha… ninety percent!”

Li Yang suddenly became dumbstruck. “Ah, ninety percent? That A1 was only fifty percent, to make it past this one will definitely be ‘nine deaths and still alive’… Who would be willing to take this medicine? How do you know the probability?” Li Yang looked at the white-bearded elder with doubt. Without anyone using it, how would he know the mortality rate?”

The white-bearded elder sighed and said, “These… these were all taken from those receiving the death penalty!”

Upon hearing the words ‘death penalty’, Li Yang’s eyebrows immediately lifted, and he strangely laughed. “Oh? Those on death penalty, it seems like I am one of them too? I’m not sure if this elderly mister here will allow me to use this gene medicine as well?”

The white-bearded elder replied without caring too much about his words, “En, my purpose for requesting for you is precisely with such intentions. Right now, you have two paths, one of them is to prepare for your death penalty, and the other is to use this B1 medicine. As long as you don’t die, you will become our country’s glorious guardian.”

Once Li Yang heard this, he immediately began to laugh in a clear voice. “Haha… Glorious Guardian of our country? Does this elderly mister not know what I used to do? In the past, I was precisely someone who didn’t have a life for the sake of the country. Now, I am tired, exhausted. I also don’t want to delve into those matters anymore, so if it’s the death penalty, then whatever. I’m happy to be relieved.”

The white-bearded elder did not think that Li Yang would actually think this way, after all, those on the death penalty typically chose to use the gene medicine. After all, there was still a chance to survive, in addition afterwards, they could have powerful strength.

The white-haired elder’s expression immediately changed, and shortly after smiled while saying, “The main reason why this medicine caused those people to die is because their physical bodies were not strong enough, and could not support the strong medicinal effects, causing them to die. The stronger the body of the user, the greater the chances of it succeeding. The strength of your physical body has already reached around 70 crystals, and is the highest of all of the experimental subjects so far. Before you, there has been many people who have succeeded, therefore, your probability of succeeding must be much higher.”

The white-bearded elder was trying to bewitch Li Yang. Although the reason that the users of this medicine died did indeed have to do with their physical bodies being too weak, the main reason was still that the B1 medicine was still incomplete! The problem still lied with the medicine itself.

“Li Yang, a devil way cultivator excels in developing their physical bodies so you should just use it. Isn’t it just some medicine? This Overlord can help you recover, so such a small gene medicine can’t possibly harm you! In addition, after using it your body would increase by several thousand crystals. This will help you reduce your cultivation time by quite a bit.” Xiang Yu was also trying to convince Li Yang, however, what Xiang Yu said was the truth. No matter if it was an immortal realm expert of a devil realm expert, as long as they have sufficient power, they could all be reborn in a flash. Such a small gene medicine was something that they could easily deal with.

When Li Yang heard this, not only did his eyes brighten, he immediately casted his gaze on the white-bearded elder who was waiting in expectation before saying with a smile, “Since its like this, then fine. I agree!”
