[Congratulations to the host for discovering a piece of magic crystal marrow.]

[The energy collection system of the Demon Hunting System is activated. The host has three chances to draw blind boxes for free. Good luck.]

藺九: What is the energy collection system?

[The energy collection system is one of the many sub-systems of the Demon Hunting System. The purpose of its creation is to collect the energy of the magic crystal marrow.]

藺九: What is the magic crystal marrow?

[The magic crystal marrow is nurtured by the heaven and earth of the Demon Sea Plane. It contains powerful energy. The energy is extremely unstable and diffuses outward all the time. The energy of the magic crystal marrow diffuses to the underground material, and over the years, it will form a magic crystal mine. The magic crystal mined from the magic crystal mine has stable energy and can be absorbed by living organisms. But the energy of the magic crystal marrow itself can destroy or change living organisms. The energy collection system is a stable container for the magic crystal marrow. 】

【The energy collection system reminds the host that the magic crystal marrow has been detected. After the energy collection system collects it, it can be converted into magic energy. Do you want to collect it? 】

Lu Jiu: No, don't touch it.

Lu Jiu always feels that something is wrong.

Lu Jiu asked the Demon Hunting System: You said that the magic crystal marrow can destroy and change living organisms, but it can help humans enhance their abilities.

【People who can be enhanced have genetic potential. The energy of the magic crystal marrow will make them stronger and stronger. People without genetic potential will be enhanced, and their genomes will be destroyed or changed. The final result can only be death or mutation. 】

Lu Jiu's heart was pounding: What does mutation mean?

【Who knows what will happen when the genome is changed by the energy of the magic crystal marrow? I don't know, the host has actually seen a mutant. 】

Lu Jiu: ...

That strange thing that is said to be a fish but can escape in City A!

According to the system, under the influence of the energy of the magic crystal marrow, there will be three results in the end. One is that people with genetic potential will become enhanced people. They will become stronger and stronger because of the energy of the magic crystal marrow; the second is that the genome is destroyed and the life form dies; the third is that the genome is changed and mutation occurs.

The current situation is that the ocean has been severely polluted by energy. It stands to reason that it is impossible for all marine life to have genetic potential and mutation, and there will definitely be a large number of marine life deaths. However, Lu Jiu has not seen any relevant reports. So where did the dead marine life go?

Lu Jiu can only think of one possibility.

- They were eaten by other marine life.

Lu Jiu thought of the enlarged octopus and bluefin caught by Si Xu. These two species have basically not changed except for their enlarged size.

[The host is right. In addition to activating genetic potential, death or mutation, living organisms can also stabilize their genomes and avoid being destroyed by the energy of magic crystal marrow by eating ingredients containing magic elements.]

This is also the reason why magic materials can prevent the deterioration of unknown energy radiation diseases.

Lu Jiu frowned. Since living organisms can activate genetic potential, die or mutate due to the activation of magic crystal marrow, and marine organisms have both died and mutated, are there any marine organisms with activated genetic potential?

[Host, there is no need to doubt it. There must be.]

Lu Jiu: ...

This is simply a horror story!

Lu Jiu was terrified: Does this energy collection system have a collection task that must be completed? If so, I would rather not turn it on.

Although he really wants the three chances to draw blind boxes, Lu Jiu is very clear about the importance of magic crystal marrow to various countries. He dares to take the magic crystal marrow. Does he think his life is too long?

[The energy collection system can convert the energy in the magic crystal marrow into magic essence, and the magic essence can also be converted into magic points. With the magic points, the host can buy whatever he wants. Blood purification agents and gene enhancement agents are no longer a dream. ]

Lu Jiu was unmoved: I only care about whether there are any mandatory tasks. What can I do if I have magic points but no life to spend them?

[There is no need to stare at the magic crystal marrow in other people’s hands. Since the magic crystal marrow appeared in the sea, we can go to the sea to find it ourselves...]

Lu Jiu: I don’t want it if there is a mandatory task.

[...]

Lu Jiu is particularly single: Is there one?

[...No. ]

Lu Jiu was satisfied. There was no mandatory task. The energy collection system could be left alone. He just regarded it as a chance to draw blind boxes three times for free.

Lu Jiu was a little impatient. He wanted to draw the blind box.

Having failed three times before, it is impossible for him to fail all the times again this time,

right? The chance of winning is still very high! The system has been urging Lu Jiu to go to the sea to find the magic crystal marrow. Lu Jiu was ready to lie down and refused to go no matter what. What is the difference between asking him to go to the vast ocean to find the magic crystal marrow and fishing for a needle in a haystack? He would be a fool to be fooled and was determined not to go.

The system was so angry with Lu Jiu that it shut itself off. Lu Jiu managed to get back at the system.

When Lu Jiu finished the battle of wits and courage with the system, he looked up and saw only the empty training room. There was no one there.

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu had nothing on him. He had no idea how long he had been in there.

Outside the training room, Si Xu and Shi Shuqing walked into the training ground. As soon as they entered, they saw everyone crowded in front of the screen, not knowing what they were watching.

Si Xu glanced at the crowd and didn't see Lu Jiu, but saw Zhao Cheng. Zhao Cheng was working as a waiter today. Since Zhao Cheng was back, Lu Jiu should have come with him.

Si Xu walked over and saw Lin Han holding a familiar incubator in his hand. "Where's Xiao Jiu?"

Lin Han pointed nervously to the training room. "Inside."

Si Xu paused. "How long has he been in there?"

Lin Han became even more nervous. "Almost an hour."

Si Xu turned around and walked quickly to the monitoring screen. The crowd automatically made way. On the screen, Jiu Jiu was wearing a black training suit and a black mask on his face. He was sitting on the ground and looking around. He seemed to not understand why everyone suddenly disappeared. His eyes were full of confusion.

Si Xu was relieved to see that he was intact. Jiu Jiu sat upright and did not look strained. The energy radiation that was unbearable for others did not seem to have any effect on Jiu Jiu.

"Are both of you monsters? How come the radiation has no effect on you?" Shi Shuqing asked sourly.

Si Xu: "Maybe you ate too much energy food, right?"

Shi Shuqing: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Si Xu stared at the screen, his eyes darkened. The training suit on Rujiu was obviously too big. It should not be a new training suit, but someone else's. Whose was it?

Thinking of Rujiu wearing someone else's clothes, Si Xu wanted to go over and take off the clothes immediately, and then push the person into the bathtub to wash him thoroughly, leaving no trace of someone else's smell!

Rujiu was bored in there, and a group of people were watching him outside.

Rujiu sat for a while, staring at something in front of him for a while, and then his upper eyelids began to slide down. He tried to open his eyes every time he slid down, and then slid down again and opened them again. After several times, his eyes finally closed completely, and his head slowly drooped.

Everyone outside: "..."

No, is this a place where you can take a nap? Every one of them felt excruciating pain when they entered, and every cell in their body was alert, but this guy was so bored that he felt sleepy.

Rujiu's body swayed, and the feeling of weightlessness woke him up suddenly. He looked around blankly.

Si Xu sighed and went over to open the heavy metal door of the training room.

Rujiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Si Xu standing at the door. All his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

He got up from the ground and walked over quickly, "Are you done with your work?"

"I'm done, are you feeling uncomfortable?" Si Xu's eyes fell on Rujiu's training suit.

Rujiu's skin is originally fair, and she looks even fairer in the black training suit.

Lu Jiu shook his head, "I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just bored."

It's hard to imagine how they managed to hold on. Sitting still like this is too torturous.

Lu Jiu saw Si Xu staring at the training uniform, and his face became hot. "I'm sorry, I wore your training uniform without your consent..."

Si Xu was stunned, his eyes darkened instantly, and his Adam's apple moved.

"It's okay, you look good in it." Si Xu's throat was dry and suppressed.

Si Xu found out. He couldn't stand Lu Jiu wearing other people's clothes, and he couldn't stand Lu Jiu wearing his clothes even more.

Si Xu grabbed Lu Jiu's wrist and took him away quickly, walking towards the changing room.

The door slammed shut, and Lu Jiu was pressed against the door, with the back of her head in the man's palm, the mask pulled off, and the warm lips pressed against her. There was no gentleness in this kiss, and it was a deep, conquering kiss with a strong possessiveness. Lu Jiu's scalp was numb, and he instinctively wanted to hide, but there was a door behind him and Si Xu in front of him. He was held tightly in Si Xu's arms, leaving him no room to hide. On the contrary, because of his shivering, Si Xu kissed him even deeper.

Lu Jiu felt dizzy, had difficulty breathing, and his legs were weak and he couldn't stand. He was about to fall down and was held tightly by Si Xu.

The breathing of both of them was very disordered. Si Xu buried his head in Lu Jiu's neck, sniffing his scent and kissing his neck. Lu Jiu trembled sensitively and even held his breath.

"Don't be afraid, let me hold you for a while." Si Xu's low voice came.

Lu Jiu stood still and let Si Xu hold him, but the villain in his heart was kicking Jiang Ge wildly. Is this called having a psychological shadow? It's a good thing that the location is wrong. If the location is right, he will be dealt with!

The angry voice of the system rang in Lu Jiu's mind.

[Premarital sex is prohibited! Be careful to be dragged to the pig cage! Humph!]

Lu Jiu:...

[I asked you to find the magic crystal marrow, but you didn't go. You think about these shameless things all day long! Humph! 】

Lu Jiu: ...

【You don't want such a lot of magic points, let's see when you can draw the intermediate gene enhancer! Draw a circle to curse you that you can never draw it! If you can't draw it, don't even think about getting a marriage contract! Humph! 】

Lu Jiu: ...

This system is too poisonous.

Lu Jiu's head hurts because of the nagging of the system: Stop nagging, take back the curse just now, I will go to the explosion sea area to see if I can get a chance.

The system immediately became excited.

【Take it back, take it back, when are we going? 】

The system stopped nagging him, and started asking when to go to find the magic crystal marrow.

Lu Jiu was tired: Can I turn you off? Let me be quiet for a while.

【......】

The system ignored Lu Jiu angrily.

Lu Jiu was finally quiet.

The two hugged for a long time before they separated, and their emotions calmed down.

Si Xu looked at the training uniform on Rujiu and felt it was a pity.

The training uniforms in the base are all the same, with the name on the back of the shirt. Si Xu felt that the name could be placed on the chest, so that when Rujiu wears his clothes, everyone will know that Rujiu belongs to him, Si Xu.

The two stayed in the dressing room for too long, and someone came and knocked on the door looking for Si Xu.

Si Xu kissed Rujiu on the forehead, and his thumb brushed the corner of Rujiu's mouth. Looking at the red and slightly swollen lips, Si Xu couldn't help but leaned over and kissed him again, and then put the mask on him again.

"Change your clothes, I'll wait for you outside."

Si Xu opened the door and went out. It was Zhao Cheng who knocked on the door.

Lin Han hid behind Zhao Cheng, his eyes fell on the captain's red lips. He had already guessed what they were doing in the dressing room. Lin Han felt the heat rising and his face was hot.

This, this is too intense, right? They dare to do this in the base!

Si Xu looked calm, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Cheng was looking for Si Xu to talk about Zheng Yumo's challenge to Chang Beimu, and Si Xu's face darkened.

Lu Jiu changed her clothes dazedly, opened the door and saw Si Xu waiting at the door, and the incubator was already in Si Xu's hands.

Si Xu asked: "Have you eaten?"

Li Jiu: "Yes."

Si Xu: "Eat a little more with me."

Li Jiu: "Okay."

Si Xu: "Let's go, eat and watch."

Li Jiu: "???" Li

Jiu quickly understood what "eat and watch" meant. Si Xu was talking about Zheng Yumo's challenge to Chang Beimu.

When Lu Jiu saw Chang Beimu, she was stunned. Chang Beimu's long black hair was gone. Now she had a head of uneven short hair. No hairdresser could cut her hair like this. This messy short hair could only be cut by herself.

Lu Jiu didn't know what happened. She was fine when she came back, but she became like this after a while. However, she had a good-looking face and could handle any hairstyle.

The onlookers were also amazed at Chang Beimu's hair.

Chang Beimu stood in the middle of the field, wearing a black training suit, and looked coldly at the whole audience.

Zheng Yumo's eyes lit up when she saw Si Xu, and she ran over quickly, "Captain Si, Chang Beimu accepted my challenge. If I beat her, she will give me her place in Team Seven."

Si Xu had a blank expression on his face, and he stretched out his hand to call for two chairs, and said to Jiu, "Sit down and watch."

After the two sat down, Si Xu spoke, "It's your business if you challenge her, and it's her business if she accepts your challenge and loses and leaves Team Seven. It's my business if I let you join Team Seven."

Zheng Yumo's expression froze, she originally thought that as long as she defeated Chang Beimu and let Si Xu see her strength, Si Xu would definitely choose her, but she didn't expect Si Xu to say that. Zheng Yumo's

eyes fell on the opened incubator.

There are two food boxes in the incubator. One box is half purple and half pomegranate red, which is a very beautiful color of sea ball rice. In the other food box, there is a piece of fried golden silver fish meat on one side and thinly sliced ​​small blue devil tentacle meat on the other side.

These are all magic meals specially prepared for Si Xu.

Si Xu handed the wooden chopsticks to Lu Jiu, and he ate the sea ball rice with a wooden spoon.

Lu Jiu picked up a piece of small blue devil tentacle meat, dipped it in soy sauce and coral green and put it in his mouth. When he looked up, he saw a circle of eyes staring at the food box.

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu: "Cough cough cough..."

He coughed directly.

Si Xu put down the spoon and patted him on the back, "Be careful."

His eyes swept over a circle of eyes and kept looking away from them.

Zheng Yumo watched their interaction, and when she saw that Lu Jiu's eyes had become very strange, she turned back to the field. No matter what, since she had issued the challenge, there was no reason to give up halfway. She must let Si Xu see her strength!

The two stood still in the field, and Zheng Yumo said, "I hope you can abide by the agreement."

Chang Beimu: "Of course I will abide by the agreement, but what if you lose?"

Zheng Yumo glanced in Si Xu's direction, "If I lose, I will never mention joining Team Seven again."

Chang Beimu's eyebrows were cold, "Is your bet too light? One more thing, if you lose, I want you to shave your head."

Zheng Yumo: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Jiu almost choked for the second time.

Si Xu frowned unhappily, and began to doubt whether his decision to eat while watching was right.

Zheng Yumo didn't think that he would lose to a reserve. He was an enhanced person with enhanced abilities, how could he lose?

Zheng Yumo gritted her teeth in anger, "Come!" As

soon as the voice fell, Zheng Yumo had already jumped up. Her feet seemed to be equipped with springs. She instantly jumped from the ground to the ceiling, and used the force to throw towards Chang Beimu. The speed was very fast.

Everyone thought that Zheng Yumo would definitely succeed in one hit, but unexpectedly, Chang Beimu suddenly did a backflip, and the speed was not slow either, and he actually avoided Zheng Yumo's throw. Zheng Yumo kicked the ground and bounced up again, jumping around and attacking Chang Beimu. Chang Beimu tried his best to dodge, but was still hit by a few punches, and was kicked back several steps before he could stand firm.

Lu Jiu was stunned. It was the first time he saw someone who could dance so well.

Si Xu saw that he was watching seriously, so he leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Does it look good?"

Lu Jiu's ears felt numb, and he immediately tilted his head to look at him.

Si Xu continued to ask in a low voice, "Who is prettier, her or me?"

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu suddenly thought of what Jiang Ge said, and blurted out without thinking, "Who is prettier, the mixed-race beauty or me?"

As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned, and then Si Xu laughed softly.

Rujiu's face was hot, and he was embarrassed by his smile, "You are very happy to date a beautiful girl, right?"

Si Xu quickly stopped laughing and said seriously, "It's not a date, it's just a work meeting. She took me to see her mixed-race friend."

Rujiu felt even more uncomfortable, and his face was burning. Si Xu must be making fun of him for being jealous.

Si Xu said seriously, "I already have you, how can I be attracted to someone else?"

Rujiu was silent for a long time, and then he stammered, "Then why do you like me? I've never heard that you like boys before."

... I heard there is a shadow.

Si Xu looked at him, "I don't like other boys, I only like you. You fit my aesthetic taste perfectly. As long as it's you, I like everything about you, your face, figure, personality, voice, hair... I like everything about you."

Lu Jiu's face flushed and he looked around hurriedly. Fortunately, everyone else's attention was on the fight in the field and they didn't hear what Si Xu said, otherwise Lu Jiu would definitely not be able to sit still.

"Got it?" Lu Jiu didn't dare to look at Si Xu and could only bury his head in eating.

Si Xu was in a good mood. The little guy knew that being jealous was a good thing, which showed that he held a high position in his heart.

Lu Jiu had an idol filter for him. Si Xu always knew that he only believed half of what Lu Jiu said she liked him, and the other half of her liking should come from his liking for the idol. Si Xu will retire sooner or later, and he hopes that when he announces his retirement, he will be completely liked by Lu Jiu.

Suddenly, cheers broke out in the field. Lu Jiu and Si Xu looked up at the same time. Chang Beimu was standing in the field, and his posture had not been retracted. Zheng Yumo was lying on the sidelines, holding her stomach, with her long hair disheveled, looking very wolfish.

Zheng Yumo sat up with her arms on the ground. Her face was also bruised, and her injury was not much better than Chang Beimu's.

Zheng Yumo's eyes became fierce, and she jumped up again and pounced on Chang Beimu.

She couldn't lose, she couldn't lose to a reserve!

However, when she jumped to mid-air, she suddenly lost her strength and fell down. Zheng Yumo curled up in pain, shaking all over.

"Her energy is running out! Quick, prepare some energy water!"

Someone on the sidelines ran over with a cup of green turbid liquid, helped Zheng Yumo up and fed her the liquid. Zheng Yumo stopped shaking only after she finished the cup of energy water.

Chang Beimu was still standing in the middle of the field. "You lost?!"

Zheng Yumo waved away the person who was supporting her. "I didn't lose! I'm not dead yet, so I didn't lose!"

"Enough?!" Shi Shuqing scolded and looked at Si Xu.

Lu Yu was not at the base. Although Shi Shuqing was an old man at the base, he was only the deputy captain. Si Xu had the highest position at the scene.

Si Xu did not even raise his head, "Zheng Yumo, you have seriously violated discipline, left the base without permission, challenged the reserve without permission, spread false rumors in the base without permission, refused to listen to advice, and refused to obey the management. I will report your situation truthfully. From now on, you don't have to train with everyone anymore."

Zheng Yumo was stunned on the spot. After a moment, he got up and left angrily.

In the past, enhanced people were indeed rare, and each enhanced person was a precious resource, because it was too difficult to train an enhanced person.

Now the world has changed, and there are more enhanced people. In the past, the "Special Security Department" took the initiative to recruit qualified people. Now, if enhanced people want to join the "Special Security Department", they have to go through strict review, and only those who pass the assessment can be hired.

Zheng Yumo also had to pass the assessment to enter the "Special Security Department". Shi Shuqing also didn't expect that Zheng Yumo, who had good assessment results, would be so hardworking after entering... No, strictly speaking, she started to become restless after seeing Si Xu, and then she became so hardworking after learning that Si Xu wanted to form a seventh team but didn't choose her.

The next time we recruit new people, the assessment must be more strict.
