Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen had no choice but to follow. That small cabin was their usual resting place, and since everyone was training, it was empty.

"Tian, take a seat," Goddess Consort sat down beside her own desk and pointed to the chair opposite her.

"Bai, just call me by my name," Lin Shen said helplessly.

"Alright," Goddess Consort's lips curled into a sly smile, but Lin Shen could not see it.

Once Lin Shen sat down, Goddess Consort asked directly, "Your stamina is so strong; is it because you've practiced Evolution Theory?"

"Yes," Lin Shen admitted directly.

Though his stamina wasn't entirely due to Evolution Theory, Evolution Theory played the biggest role and was the primary reason.

"Can you tell me about your Evolution Theory?" Goddess Consort paused then added, "I only want to know how to make my endurance stronger. You can set any condition, as long as I have it, I can offer it. Of course, you can also refuse; that is your right."

Actually, Lin Shen didn't mind. Even if he told Goddess Consort, she likely wouldn't be able to practice it.

"This method is only suitable for those who practice Evolution Theory; even if I tell you, it won't be useful," Lin Shen said.

"You only need to tell me the principle. Whether it's useful or not, that's my affair. You just need to consider if you are willing to exchange and what you want," Goddess Consort was very straightforward.

Lin Shen was going to say no, but looking at Goddess Consort, who was a mosaic of charm, he couldn't help but reconsider.

"This is indeed an opportunity to take the Fire Seed, but if I say it like that, will it lead to a misunderstanding?" Lin Shen felt that Goddess Consort would definitely misunderstand, and he had no way to explain.

Seeing Lin Shen hesitate, Goddess Consort knew he was tempted and then said, "As long as I can do it, anything is possible."

"Really, anything?" Lin Shen was eager.

"Yes, whatever you want, as long as I have it," Goddess Consort answered with certainty.

"If I say... I mean hypothetically... if I asked you to sleep with me... I mean purely, innocently, free of any impurity, devoid of low-level interests, just to hold each other in sleep, and nothing else... what would you think?" Lin Shen cautiously broached the topic, unable to resist his longing for the Fire Seed.

He was simply too curious about what kind of Fire Seed would be found within a living person.

Upon hearing Lin Shen's words, Goddess Consort's face instantly changed, and she stared at Lin Shen without saying a word.

Even without seeing Goddess Consort's expression, Lin Shen knew her face must not look very good.

"Don't rush... I was just speaking hypothetically... Just hypothetically..." Lin Shen quickly backpedaled.

"Fine, I agree," Goddess Consort suddenly said, leaving Lin Shen stunned.

He had not expected Goddess Consort to actually agree, let alone so readily.

"Now you can tell me the principle of how Evolution Theory has strengthened your stamina, right?" Goddess Consort asked coldly.

"Sure, I can tell you, and if this answer doesn't satisfy you, we can consider the previous agreement null and void," Lin Shen felt he was taking advantage of someone's vulnerability, and moreover, the principle probably wouldn't be of any use to Bai Shenfei; he felt somewhat guilty about it.

If Bai Shenfei changed her mind after hearing it, Lin Shen would accept it as well.

"Go ahead," Bai Shenfei said directly, seemingly not treating the matter as a big deal.

"Actually, the principle is quite simple. Evolution Theory itself has the function of enhancing bodily endurance; the harder the body is pushed, the more effective Evolution Theory is at enhancing endurance." Lin Shen mentioned only the part about endurance in Evolution Theory and omitted the rest.

"How does the enhancement from Evolution Theory begin?" Bai Shenfei pondered for a moment before asking.

"What form it takes is hard to say. Let me give you an analogy: A person who uses a knife frequently will develop thick calluses on their hand from holding the knife, which require long periods of practice and repeated callus formation on the skin. Evolution Theory can speed up this process, allowing me to develop calluses in a much shorter time.

I don't know if my explanation makes sense to you," Lin Shen thought for a moment before saying.

"You mean to say, the Evolution Skill you practice allows your body to quickly adapt to the environment," Bai Shenfei speculated after some thought.

"Right," Lin Shen couldn't help but admire her; Bai Shenfei was indeed very clever. He had said only a little, yet she guessed the crux of the matter.

Bai Shenfei seemed somewhat disappointed with Lin Shen's affirmative response. It was the same as what Instructor Mu had said; it was an issue with Evolution Skill. Unless she switched to practicing Evolution Theory, it was unsolvable and offered no insights for her to learn from.

"If you're not satisfied with the answer, we can void what I said earlier," Lin Shen reiterated.

"I will do what I promised. Nine o'clock tonight at Green Bamboo Courtyard. You must tell no one, or else I will kill you," Bai Shenfei left an address, turned around, and walked out of the cabin, then left the training camp.

When Lin Shen came out, He Fang and the others were very curious, asking what they had talked about; Lin Shen brushed them off.

The day's training felt tasteless to Lin Shen, who was inexplicably distracted.

Even after training ended that evening, Lin Shen still found it hard to believe he would so easily obtain the Fire Seed from Bai Shenfei.

With some time left until nine o'clock, Lin Shen returned to his lodging, took a bath to ensure he had no particular odor, and then changed into a set of clean clothes.

Seeing the time was almost right, Lin Shen set out for Green Bamboo Courtyard.

The location of Green Bamboo Courtyard wasn't hard to find; it was a standalone building in a villa district with a sign of Green Bamboo Courtyard hanging above.

The low fence didn't block Lin Shen's view. There were a lot of green bamboos planted on both sides of the courtyard, but these weren't ordinary green bamboos. They were a mutated form of alloy bamboo.

The courtyard gate was unlocked. Lin Shen called out, and upon hearing Bai Shenfei's voice from inside, he pushed the door and went in.

Standing outside the house, Lin Shen suddenly felt nervous. He had never shared a bed with a woman before and couldn't help but be a little anxious.

His fingertips rested on the doorknob, but he hesitated to turn it.

There was no sound inside. Although everything seemed normal, Lin Shen couldn't shake the feeling that something was off with the air today, almost as if there was less oxygen, making breathing difficult and hurried.

He truly wished to hear Bai Shenfei say something now, even if it was to renounce their plan and send him away.

But the house was silent, no sound whatsoever. Only the light from an electric lamp filtered through the drawn curtains, dim and hazy.

"Bai, I'm coming in," Lin Shen bit the bullet, pressed down the handle, and walked in.
