Chapter 585: Sir! Open the Genetic Lock!
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
Mr. Fang looked baffled. “Assassin’s Creed…?”
It frustrated him that he had to have assassin players in the shop in order to complete this task.
Are you kidding me? Which self-respecting and busy assassin will come to the shop and play games?
Mr. Fang wondered, Are there such lazy assassins who can live long enough to come to play in my shop?
…
Meanwhile, a woman walked toward the intersection outside the shop.
She wore black leather armor, and the hem of her coat swayed in the wind, revealing her long and slender legs and long black boots.
It seemed like no one noticed this figure on the busy street. But at a closer look, one would see that everyone seemed to unconsciously stay a few meters away from her.
She reached up one hand to block the wind which blew at her flame-like long hair, revealing five white and tender fingers. Her exquisite face reminded others of the impeccable features of elves, and the silver earrings made her look vivacious.
If not for the chilly light hidden in the depths of her eyes, many people would have thought that she was a female knight with a noble background.
Subconsciously, she glanced at the weird name of the shop and thought, “Well. Can this small shop really attract any customers?”
…
As an elite of the Golden Griffin Knight Legion, Helen was surprised.
She had seen some special occasions when fighters dodged level 2 combat techniques with side-steps, but it shouldn’t happen with teenagers who hadn’t even mastered a single combat technique.
“What’s up?!” She immediately pulled the three young people into the nearby small forest.
“Where did you learn these combat techniques?!” From Helen’s perspective, she felt like there was no way that these combat techniques weren’t inherited from their families.
“We…” The young people’s faces turned red while they looked at each other.
This was their biggest secret!
Should they tell her their secret?
If they did, others would also learn these powerful skills. What could they do then?
“Don’t worry,” The instructor said, “Ms. Helen will not force you to tell your secret. But if you want to join the Golden Griffin Knight Legion, you will have to tell the secret at that time.”
“We…”
“We…” They hesitated and paused each time they began talking.
Just as the instructor and Helen became frustrated with impatience, the young people said as one, “We opened the genetic lock!”
“Puchi-!” The Golden Griffin Knight Helen and the male instructor were astounded. “What did you open!!??”
What is a genetic lock?!
“I think we must have opened the genetic lock!”
When Fang Qi told Su Tianji the story, he didn’t keep it a secret, so he didn’t hide his chat history.
The young people had been watching his screen with curiosity and thus saw the story.
Remembering his previous fear and the eventual victory, the young man named Ron got excited and said with conviction, “It’s said that people can open their genetic lock under great pressure. We must have opened our genetic locks, which is why we defeated Tolf and his companions!”
Hearing his words, Helen and the male instructor felt like their brains had blanked out. After exchanging a look, they asked, “What’s a genetic lock? Explain it slowly…”
“For example, an old lady can lift a car with one hand to pull her grandson from beneath the car wheels from an accident. It shows the great potential one can tap into when being placed in an extremely dangerous situation…” the young people said with great conviction and logic.
They explained that everyone had a unique strong suit which was the trigger to open the genetic lock.
They gave some other examples…
Hearing their theory, Helen and the male instructor exchanged another look. “So deep and mysterious…”
“So…” Helen asked immediately, “Do you mean that you opened level 1 genetic lock under the tremendous pressure just now?”
Her face twitched as she thought, Are you serious?! I face the Legion Commander, my boss, every day, and the pressure is insane. Yet, I didn’t open any so-called genetic lock! And you kids opened it in one brawl?
She stared at them with intense eyes. “Then… who told you about this genetic lock?”
“Mr. Fang!” The girl named Cia raised her hand and answered.
At this moment, Mr. Fang sneezed in the shop for some reason.
“Mr. Fang…?” Helen exchanged a look with the male instructor, and they got more baffled. “Who’s Mr. Fang?”
“The owner of the Origins Internet Club in the city center!” Joseph said immediately.
“He can fly while standing on a sword! Also, he can turn his shop into an ethereal realm with spiritual spells!”
“Right! Right! Right! Mr. Fang is super powerful!” The kids chattered.
“Mr. Fang must be a master who has opened his level 3 genetic lock!”
“No. He probably has reached the legendary level 4!”
…
It was late, and there were few people in the shop. Fatigued with the gameplay, Mr. Fang dozed off at the counter, dreaming that the shop had activated the teleportation array, and he lured Xiaoyue over to play in the new shop.
Then, he seemed to dream that he had opened level 4 genetic lock and mastered a new skill: Instant Synchronization.
With this skill, he could get into Complete Synchronization for a second when attacking or defending, thus greatly reducing the consumption of synchronization time.
Bang! A hand slammed on the counter, making the stone top shake a little.
It instantly woke up Mr. Fang.
“Who is it…” Mr. Fang looked up and saw a gorgeous girl who was wearing silver armor. She had taken off her helmet, revealing her golden hair that was coiled up in a bun behind her head.
She demanded aggressively, “Open my genetic lock!”
“Open your genetic lock…” Rubbing his eyes groggily, Mr. Fang was still savoring his dream and getting a feeling for instant synchronization. “Two magic crystals per hour, and ten magic crystals for activation.”
“…” Helen’s face twitched.
So expensive?!
He even tried to trick kids with such exorbitant prices. I’ll give this unconscientious shop owner a good lesson!
“Achoo!” Rows of data flashed in Mr. Fang’s groggily eyes.
The synchronization time got consumed at great speed.
“F*ck?!” Realizing that he hadn’t mastered the so-called instant synchronization, Mr. Fang woke up completely while he turned off Complete Synchronization.
He looked at the empty counter and scratched his head. I seemed to have seen a customer…
Then, he saw a figure clinging to the door. While waving the crystals in her hand, she said unclearly, “Wu… Open my genetic lock…”
While taking the money from her hand, Mr. Fang pulled her off the door and asked, “Why did you glue yourself onto the door? Go and get online.”
Damn it! You just wait and see!
