When Wendy and Xiao escorted the girl back to the Federation, the old man who came to welcome them back was so surprised by this unexpected joy that he almost suffocated.
What's going on? Why was the Alliance's major general brought back?
ah?
Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dared to launch a counterattack against us?
"What's wrong? Are you surprised?" Wendy waved her hand in front of the old man. The old man, having seen many storms, shook his head and said to Wendy, "Leave her to me." "Oh, okay." Wendy obediently pushed the girl to the old man's side. The wind element's restraint was lifted, and the girl had only regained her freedom for a fraction of a second when she was immediately restrained by the old man.
"Please go and rest, gentlemen." The old man was about to leave when Wendy's words stopped him in his tracks.
"What is gene tempering?" Wendy asked. In space, Wendy could only hear the girl's voice; his own words couldn't travel. "My lord, did you learn about this from her...? Well, this old man can't quite explain it either. Someone will come and tell you later." After saying this, she left, leaving Wendy and Xiao completely bewildered.
"So, if we really want to refine our genes, will it be useful to us?" Wendy posed a profound question. Indeed, refining genes might be useful to ordinary people, but Wendy is a god, and Xiao is an immortal. Would it really be useful?
The two looked at each other, and finally shrugged together.
This battle was almost a complete victory. The Federation soldiers had the wind element buff from Venti, which made them immune to fatal damage once, turning them into critically injured and near death. However, with the Federation's current medical technology, it was extremely easy to save them. Those who did not suffer fatal damage retained the wind element buff until they were used again.
"Congratulations to Blue Star for capturing Alliance Major General Jiao Wan'er and obtaining a gene tempering agent formula. This gene tempering agent has side effects, with a probability of one percent." The national announcement rang out, and Blue Star cheered. The formula was delivered to the highest representative of the Dragon Kingdom.
After listening to the broadcast, Wendy yawned. He probably needed to refine his genes too. It wasn't for any other reason than that he relied entirely on his mech to move around in space. Once his physical body was in space, Wendy was fine, but it became very difficult to manipulate the wind element. He almost had to rely on his own strength to withstand the damage from others. But what about Xiao?
Although Xiao is a three-eyed, five-manifestation immortal, he is still a mortal in the end. How long could he survive in space?
The two invincible generals captured the Alliance's major general alive with almost zero casualties. The news spread throughout the Federation immediately. People shouted the generals' names, and it was almost like a festival. Every household was cheering. This was a major victory, a victory worthy of being recorded in textbooks.
However, the two at the center of the conversation, Wendy and Xiao, remained holed up in the base, without any celebration or victory banquet, because they had just learned what gene tempering was.
"Simply put, it means re-washing and recombining one's genes to make one's body more suitable for survival in space. Currently, most of us living on this planet of the Federation do not have our genes tempered because they do not need to fight in space. Only soldiers in the military, and those with outstanding combat records, are qualified to have their genes tempered."
Moreover, gene tempering is a double-edged sword. If tempering is successful, one will be more powerful in battle. Conversely, if tempering fails, one will be forever barred from combat and will have to return to the life of an ordinary person.
"But even so, do you two still want to refine your genes?" The older sister in charge of the explanation glanced at Wendy and Xiao, and the two nodded in unison.
“Okay, I’ll apply for the gene tempering agent for you two right away.” The older sister nodded.
When she first met the two men, she wondered if she had come to the wrong place. In her imagination, the two invincible generals were either very handsome, tall and dashing, or handsome uncles who were somewhat weathered but still charming. However, when two little boys who were much shorter than her appeared in front of her, her fantasy was shattered.
After finally confirming, with unwavering determination, that the two were indeed the Federation's generals, the older sister's idea of dating a general was completely shattered.
So I decided to put aside all these random thoughts and start seriously introducing gene tempering.
After a conversation, the older sister had put aside her previous prejudices. After all, their conversation was like a fine wine that had been aged for many years, with every sip leaving a lingering aftertaste. They didn't say much, but their points were very precise, something that ordinary people wouldn't notice.
After Wendy and Xiao left, Wendy leaned against Xiao's lap, touching her stomach. She still felt the pain from the girl's punch. "Xiao, can you rub it for me?" Wendy blinked, staring at Xiao. Xiao didn't say anything, but her hands honestly began rubbing Wendy's stomach.
Feeling Xiao's hand circling his stomach, Wendy yawned. He was sleepy, really sleepy. There was no alcohol to drink, and he was so sleepy.
Wendy was asleep, which was exactly what Xiao had expected. He put Wendy on the bed, carefully covered her with a blanket, and planned to go out to see if there was anything he could bring back for Wendy.
Ironically, the two of them hadn't had a single penny since arriving in this world. They didn't know if it was because they hadn't received their wages yet or what, but Xiao was currently penniless.
Xiao approached the old man again, asking if he could have some currency. "Ah, that was my oversight. Please wait a moment." The old man realized that this was clearly a great hero, yet he didn't have a single penny on him. That didn't make sense!
A moment later, a thin, all-black card was handed to Xiao. "This is a black card. It can get you freebies in many online stores, and it also comes with initial funds, probably around 10 billion," the old man explained.
Xiao was stunned. Suddenly, he had transformed into a billionaire?
Hmm, that's good.
Xiao thanked the old man and left the base, intending to go to the city center first.
In the bustling city center, Xiao stood on the ground, staring blankly at the vast city. Unlike Teyvat and Earth, Xiao couldn't even tell which way was which.
He doesn't consider himself to be someone who has a terrible sense of direction!
I reluctantly asked for directions, and after some stumbling and struggling, I finally arrived at the mall.
The high-tech shopping mall left Xiao a little confused.
Did I really come to the mall?

After thinking about it, I'll just do one update every other day.
