Lin Qianxuan didn’t rush to review the memories but fell into silence.

In the old social order, there were many loopholes and pests, which allowed criminals to exploit.

He could not imagine that Zhang Juan, after being adopted, was taken away to be sold.

These experiences were indeed too cruel for her.

He sighed with emotion, big brother has had a hard time all these years!

Come to think of it, how did a thirteen-year-old child manage to kill this couple of beasts?

It’s probably only through wit.

Should I say the big brother is indeed remarkable? If he were this age, even after going through these events, he might have just silently awaited death.

The last scene of that [12%].

Is it her Talent that came into play?

How did Zhang Juan’s Talent appear?

Is it because of the so-called “Awakening No. 3”?

This Talent shouldn’t be merely a Superpower.

Or rather, not entirely a Superpower.

It should be something caused by the fusion of Earth’s and Otherworld’s rules.

Just like the mutated Dragon Bloodline on him.

In ancient times it was just a bit stronger, but now it’s such a powerful Talent.

So “Awakening No. 3” should just be a trigger.

She had such potential from the very beginning.

Lin Qianxuan clicked Zhang Juan’s name and found updated memory information [Survival].

Clicking the mouse, the scene began to change.

…..

Although Zhang Juan already had the courage to kill, she didn’t have enough ability to survive in society.

Especially with such a small body.

At most, kind-hearted people would send her to the local government.

But she wouldn’t trust anyone anymore.

As for contacting the original welfare institution?

She felt she had already killed someone and didn’t want to trouble the welfare institution.

She was now filled with vigilance.

She began to use every possible means to survive.

Begging, stealing, scavenging.

But these couldn’t let her live a stable life either.

Plus, occasionally traversing between two worlds, sometimes with difficulty saving a bit, only for it to be gone after a crossing.

After much internal struggle, she started stepping up further in her precarious life.

She was quite familiar with the hidden places in the streets and alleys.

So she started bringing clients to those isolated prostitutes.

Whether on Earth or in the Otherworld, she found business.

She didn’t have any disdain for those prostitutes, everyone was surviving, not talking about high and low.

Only that these businesses were often controlled by local forces, under normal circumstances, they had to pay “protection fees”.

So they didn’t dare openly solicit clients.

But Zhang Juan didn’t care.

She traversed between worlds, and even if discovered, she could just run away.

Returning after a while, no one remembered these small things.

She could continue her activities again.

Besides this, she also did some bottom-tier work for survival.

Such as leading a group of fellow stray children, specializing in doing some cleaning and transportation work for those doing shady business or inconvenient people.

Having had a killing experience, she was more particular in temperament than most stray children.

And her wisdom and execution power were also higher, so she easily gained the identity of a leader.

As for whether they were transporting corpses or excrement, it didn’t matter, she just wanted to live.

Surprisingly, she had a tiny bit of a bottom line, perhaps because the drug addict killed someone who was good to her, so she had no good feelings toward those addicts, and although those businesses had considerable rewards, she wouldn’t touch them, and would even actively destroy them if given the chance.

In the dark alleys on Earth, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, her eyes with a hint of determination, and continued moving forward with her companion pushing the small cart.

A [43%] scene flashed by.

The memory scene ended here, returning to the already chaotic factory area.

…..

Lin Qianxuan looked at the screen, his thoughts complicated.

His adolescent years certainly had some hardships, but they were not as difficult to this degree.

At least, there wasn’t a struggle to survive in the mud.

Having enough to eat and a place to sleep was still not an issue.

He became more determined in his idea to save Zhang Juan.

…..

The game’s plot progressed quickly.

This incident interlude was roughly handled by Zhang Juan.

Some people were promoted, and some were suppressed.

After this incident, for the time being, Zhang Juan’s rule would not be greatly threatened.

However, Zhang Juan didn’t care about whether she could still rule this area.

She was now focused on recuperating her body to the extent that she could sustain battle for some time without the body collapsing.

That way, she might have a chance to win the upcoming Holy War.

The way she solved her genetic conflict was to acquire more superpowers that repaired genes, allowing herself to accelerate repair in the process of collapse.

In this way, as long as her superpower was not overly used, the collapse speed didn’t exceed the repair limit, she could temporarily maintain her condition, and after battle, she could barely recover through rest.

Logically speaking, she could also find a way to adapt to her genetic conflict issue.

But genetic collapse is a chain process.

Once it started, it was like dominoes; she would die directly in a very short time, not having the chance to adapt and develop corresponding superpowers.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the superpowers within her are too many and too mixed!

The number is so large she can’t even remember them all.

So the conflict issue is overly massive.

This pile of crap code can’t be fully debugged in a short time.

By the time she realized there was a problem with herself, there wasn’t much time left.

At most, she has about two months left before she can’t control the conflict anymore.

During this process, she must also prevent the birth of too many new superpowers within herself, otherwise more conflicts are highly likely to arise.

That’s right, the [Evolutionary Body] is actually a passive talent; besides having some choice in evolving superpowers, it’s not something Zhang Juan can control whether or not to evolve.

It’s controlled by the instincts of her own body.

So that is also the reason she wants to participate in the Saintly Battle.

….

Lin Qianxuan, on his side, was also contemplating a new path.

The superpowers acquired from self-harm via divine energy were almost all stackable self-healing and defense. Choosing the right control of divine energy itself leads to a strength boost, but actually, not much.

Now, the game character has acquired the first Sound Talisman, increasing adaptation speed by 50%.

The efficiency of acquiring superpowers has also improved; he might try a more extreme method.

Directly acquiring Tier Four superpowers!

But before that, he needs to use the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to see if anything major will happen in the game’s future.

Otherwise, what if something happens in the middle of self-harming?

(Using the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to glimpse the important events happening in the coming months….)

[You used the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to spy on your future….]

Soon, Lin Qianxuan saw some events occurring in the game’s future.

Up until the start of the Saintly Battle, nothing major happened.

However, the scenes in the fatal marks did not show Zhang Juan; her strength is too powerful for the game character to glimpse using the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven.

Additionally, after the start of the Saintly Battle, the screen went blank.

This means that the information the game character can spy on stops before the Saintly Battle.

The causal weight of the information after that is too large, and the game character cannot handle it now.

“It seems that things should be relatively safe afterward,” Lin Qianxuan muttered.

He was quite pleased with the game’s prowling result.

This proves that until the Saintly Battle, the game character will be very safe.

Of course, it does not rule out a Legendary Level big shot causing trouble.

But that’s not something the game character can handle.

Even in a complete state, Lin Qianxuan feels he could only be instantly defeated when facing a Dao Tier.

The gap is too large.

So now the game character can recklessly attempt risky acts.

However, there is also a method to the madness; Lin Qianxuan, despite having many ideas in his mind, still decided to use the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to see if there is an optimal choice.

(Use the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to peek at how to gain superpowers that allow the quickest and relatively safe path to Dao Tier…..)

[You used the Eyes of the Muddled Heaven to glimpse the possibility of achieving Dao Tier at the fastest speed….]

The images in the fatal marks flashed by.

The game character forcibly ignited the True Flame.

Essence Qi filled in, maintaining for about an hour.

Suddenly, he adapted.

Immediately, the divine energy within him transformed rapidly into Essence Qi, and the True Flame continued to burn, with new superpowers blooming. Three days later, he directly reached the Dao Tier.

That flicker of True Flame tended towards stability, beginning to plunder external energy to maintain its burn, while continuously tempering the game character’s divine soul and physical body.

Taking this step was not as difficult as Lin Qianxuan had imagined.

His accumulation was very sufficient, all he lacked was that thin line.

Now, with the [Evolutionary Body] accelerating the accumulation process, breaking through naturally became easy.

Lin Qianxuan felt reassured, tapping on the keyboard to input the breakthrough method seen in the fatal marks.

Command input.

The game’s scenario changed.

The game character sat in the room, pondering for a moment, vaguely visible was a hint of red glow in his eyes.

This wasn’t the glow of divine energy; that color was deeper, akin to the depth of blood.

Lin Qianxuan understood, he had driven his own True Intent, igniting the True Flame.

Lighting True Flame without adequate foundation would harm oneself.

Simply put, it was an overload operation.

It wasn’t just a huge energy consumption; it would also cause damage to one’s own divine soul and physical body.

Because this was not a power he could use at this stage.

But the game character was adapting, adapting to this process, and rapidly at that.

Lin Qianxuan advanced the time a bit.

In just an hour, the level of adaptation was already 100%.

[Over the long stretch of time, you have already adapted to the current environment…]

[Please choose one of the following two superpowers to load onto the Evolutionary Body.]

[Divine Energy Transformation (Tier Four): You can quickly transform your divine energy into any basic energy needed by the body.]

[Energy Absorption (Tier Four): Your efficiency in absorbing and transforming energy is greatly increased, the range of energy you can absorb and use is expanded, and you can store a significant amount of energy within your body.]

Both Tier Four superpowers aim to boost the efficiency of energy use for the game character.

Because the burning of the True Flame requires consuming a huge amount of Essence Qi energy from the game character to allow him to sustain this state longer.

[Energy Absorption] caught Lin Qianxuan’s attention only slightly.

This superpower seemed decent, but it wasn’t the one chosen in the fatal marks.

It was clear that while its functionality seemed full, it was not as efficient as [Divine Energy Transformation].

The game character already had nearly limitless divine energy, which was rarely depleted under usual circumstances, so expanding the range of absorbable energy wasn’t very useful; direct transformation perfectly met the needs.

Lin Qianxuan clicked the mouse, and immediately, a new superpower was directly loaded onto the game character.

Instantly, the blood-red glow in the game character’s eyes became more stable and radiant, while a vast amount of divine energy was transformed through the superpower into the necessary Essence Qi energy for the body, supplying the burning of the True Flame. Thus, even with the huge energy demand of the True Flame, the game character could barely sustain it.

From a certain point of view, he now already counted as halfway to Dao Tier.
