40: Are they worthy of genetic enhancement?

“Explanation? Heh…”

Inside the Alien Management Bureau, Ye Guhong looked at Sakura’s statement and demands, letting out a disdainful snort.

“Old Ye, should we respond? This is an official letter from Sakura; if we don’t respond, they probably won’t give up,” Tang Wensheng said.

Han Zhaoyu, on the other hand, said with a wry smile, “I really don’t know how that person managed to bring back so many cultural relics without being discovered. Such strong targeting, let alone Sakura thinking this way, even I would be tempted to suspect if our people secretly stole them without reporting, if I didn’t know the inside story.”

Ye Guhong immediately burst into laughter, “Only taking our cultural relics, the purpose is indeed very obvious. However, it’s still the same old saying: they want us to give an explanation without any proof? Are they even worthy?”

“So, we’ll reply to them with the same response as last time?” Tang Wensheng asked.

“Mm,” Ye Guhong nodded.

Hearing this, Tang Wensheng pondered for a moment and said, “Old Ye, actually, with so many cultural relics suddenly returning, we don’t have to announce all of them. At this juncture, we have the Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology given by that person. I think there’s no need for a direct conflict with Sakura. It’s better to develop quietly first.”

“Old Tang, of course I understand that principle. However, I just want to deliberately provoke them,” Ye Guhong said leisurely.

Tang Wensheng showed a hint of confusion.

Ye Guhong continued, “Firstly, Sakura’s technology summit broadcasted a simulated strike video, their arrogance was too rampant, we must dampen their spirit. Secondly, we can’t let what that person did go unnoticed.”

“We now have Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology, and that person also promised to help us research armed forces. Under such a huge advantage, if we continue to keep a low profile, that would be cowardly!”

Hearing this, Tang Wensheng and Han Zhaoyu exchanged glances and nodded silently.

“What’s more, we and Sakura can be said to be sworn enemies. That person did a few gratifying things a few days ago, and now the public’s enthusiasm is very high, showing an unprecedented unity and cohesion. This situation hasn’t appeared for many years. Since that’s the case, let’s just make them happier.”

A sharp glint flashed in Ye Guhong’s eyes.

“Anyway, with the help of this Classmate, there will eventually be a score to settle between us and Sakura. Now, it’s just the beginning.”

Tang Wensheng and Han Zhaoyu immediately understood Ye Guhong’s intention.

In the past, they couldn’t easily make a move because various countries restrained and balanced each other.

But it will be different in the future. Once they master Controllable Nuclear Fusion Technology, coupled with Lin Yang’s help, once there is a breakthrough in armed forces, they won’t have to consider too much anymore.

Allowing the domestic public’s emotions to be released is also a strategy.

And it was indeed so.

When everyone saw the National Cultural Heritage Administration’s announcements one after another, they were all very excited.

Excited that a big shot could bring back cultural relics, and even more excited about the current strength of the motherland, which could announce this matter without concealment!

An unprecedented sense of pride and cohesion was spreading!

Within Sakura.

Lin Yang also continuously received system prompts for completing tasks as he collected cultural relics.

After a series of task prompts, his national treasure value reached 660 points!

In addition, he also gained several achievement points.

Completing all cultural relic collections in a corresponding area for the first time could earn one achievement point.

Two days later, Lin Yang received a special system prompt.

“Congratulations, Host, for completing all cultural relic collections within a Level 2 area! You have received a Second-Class Reward and a special lottery chance. Do you wish to draw immediately?”

Hearing this prompt, Lin Yang was first stunned, then realized that he had unknowingly completed a provincial-level area’s cultural relic collection!

“It really is a Little Country; I’ve already covered a provincial-level area so quickly!”

Finishing a provincial-level area’s cultural relic collection in just three or four days only indicated how small Sakura truly was.

One must know that he had to collect cultural relics at each location, which took time, and it wasn’t just a quick pass-through to count as completion.

After a moment of disdain, Lin Yang asked about the main business: “System, what can I draw from the special lottery?”

“Answering Host, the special lottery chance can theoretically draw any item in the system; the specific item will depend on what you draw!”

“Oh, it can draw any item? So, if my luck is good enough, it’s possible to even draw powerful technological products from advanced alien civilizations?” Lin Yang’s eyes lit up.

“Yes, Host!”

“Then draw directly!”

No time like the present!

Lottery draws were all about speed, ruthlessness, and precision!

Hesitating might make the luck disappear.

“Alright, Host, the lottery wheel has been activated. Please start it!”

As the system replied, a virtual screen appeared before Lin Yang’s eyes, visible only to him.

It was a huge lottery wheel!

At a glance, he couldn’t even fully see how many types of lottery items were on this wheel!

“This is so exaggerated…”

“Please confirm the draw, Host!”

The system reminded him again.

“Confirm!”

“Draw activated. Countdown: ten, nine, eight… three, two, one!”

“Draw has ended.”

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the lottery item: Brain Enhancement Gene Potion (Perfect Grade) one bottle!”

“Host, do you wish to consume this potion immediately?”

“…” Lin Yang was stunned.

What the heck did he just hear?

Gene Potion?

And for brain enhancement?

“Sy-System, you’re not joking? There really is such a potion?”

He found it a bit hard to believe!

“Answering Host, Gene Potion is a product of advanced technological civilization. All parts of the human body can be enhanced to a certain extent by consuming Gene Enhancement Potions.”

“Uh… are there any side effects?” Lin Yang blinked.

“Answering Host, ordinary Gene Potions will have some side effects, but Perfect Grade Gene Potions have no side effects whatsoever. Please feel completely at ease using it.”

“Oh… after using it, my brain will be enhanced?”

“Yes, Host.”

“Does this enhancement refer to physical body enhancement, or does it mean enhancing my brain’s capabilities?”

“Answering Host, Brain Enhancement Gene Potion enhances your brain’s cognitive abilities.”

“That’s so abnormal? Then wouldn’t everyone in advanced technological civilizations be geniuses?” Lin Yang couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart.

“Answering Host, Gene Enhancement Potions, even within advanced technological civilizations, are extremely precious and rare items. The more advanced the Gene Enhancement Potion, the rarer it is, especially Perfect Grade Gene Potions. Many advanced technological civilizations may not even possess one.”

“Therefore, the problem you are concerned about, Host, will not occur.”

“This…”
