Let you evolve and transform into a golden-horned giant beast?

Chapter 5 Extra progress bar
  [Pippi, first evolution, compatibility 100%] (current progress 10%)

Still Pipi.

Still evolving for the first time.

Still a 100% fit.

Nothing has changed.

There is just an extra progress bar at the back, showing the current progress of 10%.

"What does this mean?"

Wang Qing looked at the mirror in his hand and was stunned.

Have you been tricked?
  The injection the school gave him was not genuine, but parallel imports with questionable quality?

Not so much, right?

The Pepi monster gene is not a good thing, so why should the school use parallel imports to trick him...

In doubt.

Dad walked in quickly carrying a large bowl of steaming dumplings and a plate of plain meat.

"Come, eat while it's hot."

"Oh."

Wang Qing took the bowl and chopsticks from his father's hands and started to devour it.

The dumplings tasted ordinary.

On the other hand, the plate of plain-cut meat tasted particularly delicious, and after eating it, a stream of heat was generated in his stomach, making his whole body warm from the inside out, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.

This meat...

The more Wang Qing ate, the more shocked he became. He couldn't help but ask: "Dad, could this be the meat of an exotic animal?"

There are thousands of kinds of exotic beasts in this world, and their numbers are endless, but there are very few that are suitable for human consumption.

Currently, there are only a few hundred species of exotic animals known to be edible.

Every edible exotic animal meat is quite expensive, because the exotic animal meat contains high energy and is a great tonic for evolvers.

Since there are no edible exotic animals near Binhai City, the exotic animal meat sold in the local market is shipped from thousands of miles away.

The price is several times, even ten times, that of the country of origin.

As far as Wang Qing knows, the cheapest exotic meat on the market, Tiejia Mountain Pork, only costs 100 yuan per pound in the country of origin, but it costs more than 1,000 yuan in Binhai City.

And my father’s monthly salary is only more than 5,000 yuan.

His body has only eaten the meat of exotic animals twice since he was a child, and he was lucky enough to taste it when he went to eat at someone else's house...

"It is indeed the meat of exotic animals."

Wang Guanhai smiled and admitted: "When I went to the vegetable market this morning, I saw someone selling blue-scaled venison. It just so happened that you had just completed your first evolution and needed supplements, so I bought ten pounds of it."

Ten pounds!

Wang Qing took a breath.

Although I don’t know how much a pound of green-scale venison costs, it is definitely much more expensive than iron-clad mountain pork.

These ten pounds of green-scaled venison would probably cost my father several months’ salary.

"Dad, this is too expensive!"

Wang Qing knows very well how difficult it is for his father to make money to support his family.

I go out before dawn every day and can't go home until after nine o'clock in the evening. I can't get a few days of rest all year round...

"Money needs to be spent."

Wang Guanhai stretched out his extremely rough right hand, gently rubbed Wang Qing's head, and said gently: "As long as I can help you, everything is worth it."

Wang Qing's eyes were hot, and he quickly lowered his head and started cooking in silence.

Under his father's gaze, he emptied the large bowl of dumplings and the plate of exotic animal meat.

"belch……"

Wang Qing burped.

He actually didn't eat much in this meal, but the plate of high-energy exotic animal meat was really overwhelming.

He now had a strong feeling of fullness and a strong sense of sleepiness.

After humans are injected with evolutionary genes, they need a period of time to fuse and absorb the energy inside to transform and strengthen themselves.

This process can take as short as a few days or as long as several months.

During this period, the body's metabolism will increase dramatically, and energy intake will also be greatly increased.

Along with this, the quality of all aspects of the human body will increase by leaps and bounds. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a rebirth.

This special period is called the transformation period.

During the transformation period, the evolver will slowly awaken the special talents inherited by the evolved genes.

The speed varies from person to person.

If he was quick, he might have awakened his talent on the spot as soon as he was injected with the evolutionary gene. If you are slow, you can awaken at the last moment of the transformation period.

If you don't awaken, you can only blame it on bad luck.

After all, 99% of evolvers can successfully awaken their talents.

"Awakening talent? I don't expect it."

Wang Qing leaned on the bedside, thinking about the evolutionary genes in his body, and couldn't help but feel a little unmotivated.

A few days ago, he checked the information. Over the past hundred years, there have been at least hundreds of thousands of people who have tried to fuse the Pepi Monster gene, but so far no one has successfully awakened their talent.

Obviously, it's not a matter of luck.

"Son, I have something to ask you."

Wang Guanhai finished cleaning the kitchen and went to his son's bedroom again.

"Dad, you said."

Wang Qing quickly sat up straight.

"What kind of evolutionary gene did you fuse in school yesterday?"

"Uh……"

Wang Qing couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this question.

"It's ok."

Seeing his son hesitating, Wang Guanhai comforted him: "Even if the evolutionary gene is a little bit off, it doesn't matter.

Chen Fo, the strongest man who came out of Binhai City, was ridiculed by countless people when he first evolved. A seventh-level powerhouse who has evolved five times. "

The Iron-headed Goose is a zero-level alien beast with dull intelligence and weak combat power. It is at the bottom among alien beasts.

Of course, they are still much better than the Three Idiots of the Alien Beasts.

After giving Chen Fo's example, Wang Guanhai smiled and said: "Son, no matter how bad your fused evolutionary genes are, how can they be worse than Chen Fo's iron-headed goose."

Wang Qing nodded subconsciously: "It's even worse."

Wang Guanhai was stunned.

Seeing that his father didn't speak for a while, Wang Qing raised his head and found that his father had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Bastard!"

Wang Guanhai suddenly became angry.

"No wonder the people at the school were unwilling to answer when I asked yesterday. It turns out they did something bad! A bunch of bastards dared to bully my son..."

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and the short hair on his head stood up, looking furious.

"Dad, please don't get excited yet."

Wang Qing had to confess: "Actually, this matter has nothing to do with the school. It was all my own decision."

"what?"

Wang Guanhai's eyes widened.

Wang Qing kept his story short and briefly recounted what happened yesterday.

There was no way he could hide this from his father.

Can't hide it.

So he simply told the whole thing.

Of course, the fact that he could see the evolutionary path was naturally ignored.

He didn't plan to tell anyone this secret.

After listening, Wang Guanhai looked dull and murmured: "You didn't want the red-blooded leopard, but you chose the skin monster..."

"Dad, I'm not doing this for fun, there's a reason."

Wang Qing smiled bitterly and said: "As for the reason, I can't say it yet. I will give you an explanation after a while."

"you……"

Wang Guanhai looked at his son with a determined face, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and finally turned into a sigh.

"sleep early."

Wang Guanhai turned around and left the room.

Looking at his father's desolate back, Wang Qing felt very heavy, but now, he could only firmly believe that his choice was right.

He took out the mirror and looked over his head again.

[Pippi, first evolution, compatibility 100%] (current progress 10%)

The progress bar still stays at 10%.

Nothing has changed.

Wang Qing stared at the extra progress bar, his eyes gradually becoming firmer.
