Putuo? Bai Chen suppressed the urge to listen carefully.
On the one hand, the team leader's instructions were still ringing in her ears, and the shadow of "accident" made her afraid to delve deeper. On the other hand, the people at that table temporarily closed their mouths and stopped talking when they saw them passing by.
After leaving the restaurant, Bai Chen deliberately didn't look at Long Yuehong beside her and said to Jiang Baimian in a low voice:
"Team leader, the people at that table seemed to be talking about things related to Putuo."
"Turns out they are fellow believers." The Prudo Chan Master Shang Jianyao was quite happy, putting his palms together and saying, "Namo Anuttara-Samyak-Sambodhi."
Jiang Baimian "He" said:
"Those who discuss Putuo may not be Buddhists, they may also be historical researchers like us."
The "Old Tune Team" is essentially researching history and restoring the truth.
Without giving Shang Jianyao a chance to reply, she pointed forward and said:
"Don't worry about so much, let's go back to the hotel first and charge up safely."
Life is full of forked roads, and she doesn't want to lose her way on the real road, nor make wrong choices on the road of fate.
It's not that she really thinks there is something wrong with Long Yuehong or Shang Jianyao's fate, but with so many Archons behind them, she suspects everything.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao was quite disappointed.
The four people, full and satisfied, walked step by step towards the "Fire and Iron" hotel in the rather bad air and illuminated by the street lamps on both sides of the road.
In the short tens of meters, Long Yuehong walked with trepidation.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and they successfully entered the hotel.
Huff… Long Yuehong quietly exhaled.
Shang Jianyao glanced at him with a regretful expression, said nothing, just shook his head.
Long Yuehong, who was ready to argue with him, felt a little stifled and wanted to ask what this guy meant.
At this moment, Jiang Baimian saw the blonde, blue-eyed receptionist with a good appearance packing things up.
He took a canvas backpack, opened the drawer, and put a "United 202" pistol, two boxes of bullets, and several grenades into it.
"Off work?" Shang Jianyao asked enthusiastically.
"Yes." The receptionist replied with a bright smile, "I'm just waiting for my colleague to take over, and then I'll go to the Hunter's Guild to see if there are any suitable tasks to do."
As he spoke, he put on his backpack and picked up a double-barreled shotgun.
This fully armed look made Long Yuehong feel that he was actually breaking someone out of prison rather than working as a hotel receptionist.
Is this the "White Knights"? He muttered to himself.
The receptionist glanced at the door, didn't see his colleague, and went back to his original position with some impatience.
Jiang Baimian glanced and found a thin booklet spread out in front of him, with patterns and words drawn on it, separated into rows, as if listing something.
"What is this?" Shang Jianyao never disappoints Jiang Baimian when it comes to curiosity.
The receptionist looked down at the booklet and said with a smile:
"I got a gene modification agent atlas from the castle. I'm almost saving enough money, and I want to choose in advance which aspect to strengthen next."
"Oh, oh." Shang Jianyao leaned over and asked without any politeness, "What are the types? Can you show us?"
"Sure." The receptionist didn't mind at all, "You can also go to the castle to ask for it. For them, it means possible business. Hehe, some of the gene modification agents we have here, you may not have over there."
While he was talking, Shang Jianyao had already reached out and picked up the booklet, and Jiang Baimian and others leaned over to look at it together.
Long Yuehong was shocked when he saw it.
He never thought that the "White Knights" would have dozens or hundreds of types of gene modification agents!
"Pangu Biology" has only accumulated three types in so many years: the oldest and least effective Type 1, the experimental Type 2, and the outstanding and almost harmless Type 3.
It wasn't until Type 3 that "Pangu Biology" promoted and popularized gene modification internally.
Therefore, when "Pangu Biology" internal employees talk about gene modification agents, they don't specifically mention which type it is, and the default is Type 3.
As far as Jiang Baimian knew, after Type 3, the company's research focus was on finding the specific reasons for employees with poor modification effects and developing more targeted subtypes, which might have more than a dozen types, or maybe just two or three.
Considering the presence of the receptionist, Long Yuehong didn't share his surprise and astonishment with Bai Chen, and carefully read the introduction on the atlas.
After Shang Jianyao turned three pages, he roughly understood what was going on:
The gene modification raw liquid and corresponding drugs and agents of "Pangu Biology" can comprehensively improve a person, from height, mind, appearance, to immunity and the ability to adapt to the environment, all-encompassing.
Of course, the specific effect that can be achieved varies depending on individual physique.
The gene modification agents of the "White Knights" are all "single" growth.
For example, the X series is for optimizing human immunity, X-3 is the basic model, and also the mature model, the cheapest, and can allow the user to fight against pollution well. There are several better effects behind it.
The A series is for appearance optimization, involving facial features and height, the B series is to improve reaction speed, and so on, and so on.
In general, it may take so many types of gene modification agents of the "White Knights" to comprehensively improve a person.
But if only comparing the effect of "single item", the gene modification of "Pangu Biology" is not as good as that of the "White Knights".
Jiang Baimian had some understanding of this before.
Her understanding is:
The "White Knights" have taken a different approach and achieved a certain extreme in "single item" optimization, while "Pangu Biology" focuses more on balance and overall.
Many times, only doing "single item" optimization is a considerable burden on the body... The "White Knights" have so few old people over fifty, maybe there is also this aspect... While Jiang Baimian's thoughts were floating, she heard Shang Jianyao asking the receptionist:
"Which kind of agent are you planning to buy this time?"
The receptionist showed a hesitant expression:
"I plan to choose between the C series and the k series."
The C series is for strengthening balance ability and coordination ability, and the k series is for memory and learning ability.
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, the receptionist said to himself:
"You know, in addition to the basic x series, a person can do gene modification up to three times in their life.
"I have already drunk the e series once and the A series once, and there is only one last chance left, so I have to consider it carefully."
The e series is to improve muscle-related abilities.
Shang Jianyao asked in confusion:
"You know that there are only three chances, why choose the A series?"
In his opinion, the beauty or ugliness of the face is the least important.
The receptionist sighed:
"In order to gain height.
"If a person has height, and then appropriately gains weight and works hard to exercise, they can have quite good combat ability."
He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, similar to Jiang Baimian, and although he looks okay, he is not particularly outstanding.
Long Yuehong judged from this that the gene modification agents he could buy were relatively cheap basic models, and the effect was not very good.
Moreover, he obviously drank the other two types of agents later, not the modification received during the fetal or infant stage, so it would naturally have a certain impact.
Shang Jianyao "Oh" and then made a suggestion.
He pointed to his head:
"No matter what, a good mind is very important."
"I'll consider it again..." The blonde, blue-eyed receptionist was once again in a struggle.
Seeing this, Jiang Baimian and others returned the finished gene modification agent atlas, and quietly entered the stairs, heading towards their suite.
On the way, Shang Jianyao asked eagerly:
"How many chances do we have to drink the 'White Knights' gene modification agent?"
"Countless times, you can drink if you want, but it's not effective." Jiang Baimian poured cold water on Shang Jianyao.
She has some understanding in this regard.
Shang Jianyao immediately said:
"I'm asking for Little Red, to see if he can adjust his height again."
"Thank you!" Although Long Yuehong was unwilling to admit it, he was indeed a little disappointed.
While speaking, they returned to their room, and Genaver was still sitting in the previous position, guarding the high-performance batteries being charged.
Safe return, no accidents... After passing through the door, Jiang Baimian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Genaver's eyes flashed red, and he made a slightly synthesized voice:
"You're finally back. I just overheard the relic hunters passing by downstairs discussing things about Putuo."
Don't say it! Jiang Baimian, Long Yuehong, and Bai Chen shouted such a cry in their hearts at the same time.
They never expected that Old Ge would act as the "trouble" instigator, and they didn't expect that they would fall a little bit in front of the finish line.
Huff, Jiang Baimian exhaled, no longer avoiding, and asked directly:
"What is it?"
She felt that since things had come to this, it would be better to find out so that she could formulate corresponding plans in advance.
Genaver replied:
"It is said that some time ago, the Hunter's Guild posted a task to find a Putuo statue lost by a monk in Gestburg, and the reward amount is fifty Grand Knight gold coins."
"So much?" Shang Jianyao did not hide his surprise.
His focus clearly shifted, and he placed it on the reward amount.
