Chapter 187 – Comprehending the Ultimate Skill 'Lick'

Not long after Yashan became [Earth Monarch], he successfully Evolved into the pinnacle of the [Shen Armor] sequence, [Life-Seed]. It’s unknown whether Yashan’s Evolution, besides Su Hao’s, is the fastest to reach the end in history.

Only now did Yashan truly have the qualifications to change the world according to his own ideas.

Su Hao looked at Yashan, whose body and mind had been completely transformed, and a sense of accomplishment arose within him. To personally transform someone, and then through that transformed person, to change the world.

After completing his Evolution, Yashan felt the power in his body, which he could control at will. He was uncontrollably excited, yet felt a sense of unreality. He asked in disbelief, “Boss Wei, I’ve become [Life-Seed] just like that? Can I continue to Evolve further after this?”

Unexpectedly, Su Hao nodded seriously. “Theoretically, you can continue to Evolve further, but no one knows what further Evolution looks like. If you’re curious and want to try, I can help you try it. I’m very curious too!”

Yashan immediately waved his hands and shook his head. “Boss Wei, I’m not curious for now. I’ll stay as [Life-Seed] and adapt for a while, hehehe!”

Yashan slowly accepted the fact that he had successfully Evolved into [Life-Seed], but he began to doubt his life. This world, and everything in it, was not what he had imagined.

How could becoming Boss Wei’s dedicated chef allow him to smoothly Evolve to the peak of Evolved Human?

Then what was the meaning of all the killing other Evolved Humans did, risking their lives for that piece of meat?

It would have been more practical to just cook a dish for Boss Wei.

Thinking of this, Yashan suddenly gained some insight into the rules of this world.

How powerful you are isn’t really important. Having a powerful skill is just the foundation. What truly makes a person successful is how they apply their skills in the right place to realize their value.

Take Yashan himself as an example.

If you were to say how powerful he is, it’s not to that extent. He was just lucky to have met Boss Wei and to have been highly valued by Boss Wei.

But it’s not right to say he’s ordinary, because many, many people have met Boss Wei, but only he is truly trusted by Boss Wei.

Even Taini, whom he watched grow up, is not an exception.

Yashan understood that he was just a ‘guinea pig’ that Boss Wei could summon and dismiss at will. Not only was this ‘guinea pig’ obedient and well-behaved, but he could also help Boss Wei with tasks. The tasks weren’t many, just like a nanny, ensuring Boss Wei’s basic living needs, saving Boss Wei countless troubles and time.

At this moment, Yashan had an epiphany.

Suck up!

If you can’t do it yourself, then suck up. If you suck up to the extreme, you’ll have everything.

Then Yashan began to extrapolate.

How to raise a daughter? If you make people happy, all the trivial matters won’t be a problem.

How to manage the ‘Temple Forest Society’? Absolute strength as a foundation, then subtly suck up to the cadres of the Temple Forest Society. If you make them comfortable by sucking up, and pave the way for them, they will naturally work hard.

How to make the Evolved Humans obey the ‘Evolved Human Code of Conduct’? Still by sucking up! Make them realize that obeying will be very comfortable, and if they don’t obey, it will be terrifying. Then they will naturally know what to do.

So the most important question arises. How to change the world?

A flash of wisdom flickered in Yashan’s eyes.

If everyone is satisfied and no longer thinking about eating people and evolving all day, then the world will naturally change.

Yashan decided to promote and expand the ultimate skill ‘Suck up to the end, and you’ll have everything,’ learned from Boss Wei, to the entire world.

Yashan’s eyes glowed, and he said to Su Hao of Sacred: “Boss Wei, the person I respect most, I, Yashan, have decided to practice our ‘Temple Forest Society’s’ Thought-power and spread the light of care to every corner of the world…”

Su Hao looked at the increasingly strange Yashan and suddenly interrupted: “Stop, stop, stop! Yashan, speak properly!”

Yashan’s carefully cultivated emotions were interrupted, and seeing Boss Wei’s impatient face, he instantly returned to normal and chuckled awkwardly: “Boss Wei, I want to move the Temple Forest Society to the Huiyang City you recommended, and from there, slowly expand the Temple Forest Society.”

Su Hao casually said: “If you have ideas, then go. Move as soon as possible!”

Yashan nodded: “Boss Wei, after I go to Huiyang City, I want to build a statue for you in the center of Huiyang City, named ‘God of Wei’. What do you think?”

Su Hao kicked him: “Get lost! ‘God of Wei’? The name sounds so tacky, I’m not interested!” Yashan’s eyes lit up. Boss Wei didn’t explicitly refuse! There’s room for negotiation! Yashan then asked: “Boss Wei, are you moving with us?”

Su Hao said: “No, I’ll stay here for now.”

Yashan was surprised: “Then how can I cook for you?”

Su Hao casually said: “Arrange two cooks for me, and have them delivered on time.”

Yashan shook his head: “That won’t do. Can I even stomach the food they make? It’s okay, Boss Wei. From now on, I’ll fly back from Huiyang City every once in a while to cook for you.”

Su Hao: “…”

Is this Yashan’s brain malfunctioning? Could the rapid Evolution of the [Life-Seed] have affected his temperament due to his genes?

…

After thoroughly studying the gene sequences of the other seven Level 7 Evolved Humans of [Life-Seed] Harmony, Su Hao entered the Pinball Space to take stock of his current condition and list it on the log panel.

Age: 17 years and 10 Moons;

Physical condition: Healthy, energy full Harmony;

Blood Qi: 800000+;

Race: Zhu Huo People, [Life-Seed];

Combat skills: Slipping Shadow Step (Ultimate Skill), Swordsmanship (Mastered);

Knowledge: Program Editing (Ultimate Skill), Blood Qi Control (Mastered), Life Rune (Proficient), Gene Modification (Beginner);

Mood: Joyful;

Achievements: Extraordinary, Flight;

Current incomplete Objectives: (1) Master Rune Genes, (2) Collect all Evolved Human Genes, (3) Travel the world.

…

Su Hao prioritized acquiring knowledge from this world. After completing the corresponding studies, he wanted to travel the world alone, to be an explorer who moved with his heart, experiencing the exotic scenery in every corner of the world.

He had been to many worlds, but in most of them, he died before he could even grow up, which he found very regrettable.

Having gone there but not being able to tour properly felt incomplete.

Coming to this world, everything was different.

Even now, he wanted to ask, who could do anything to him?

The strongest Level 7 Evolved Humans in this world posed no threat to him whatsoever, given the current situation.

Even Su Hao couldn’t imagine how he would die!

So for Su Hao, as long as the gene project was settled, things wouldn’t feel so urgent anymore.

Then he would have plenty of time to pick up the knowledge from various subjects he hadn’t finished learning before and study them thoroughly.

He could also explore all over the world, seek out unknown mutant beasts, and thus record information about various creatures.

As far as Su Hao knew, the Zhu Huo People weren’t the only race with extraordinary genes. Many wild places with harsh environments, rarely trodden by anyone, might harbor various strange mutant beasts, waiting for Su Hao’s favor.

Su Hao was filled with anticipation just thinking about it.

Su Hao sighed, “Continuously learning and increasing knowledge is the life a normal human like me should live! I don’t really like the boring fighting and killing of the Zhu Huo People.”

Su Hao slowly walked out of the laboratory doors, taking firm steps: “First, I’ll take care of the Calamity Child, Lu! Then I’ll come back to mind-studies and research, and live a normal person’s life!”
