102: Chapter 102 The beauty has rather fair skin.

"Who is this person? Why is he wearing a mask?"

"Damn, it's the crooked-mouth Dragon King."

"Be careful, I feel like this guy has a really pretentious aura."

"Yeah, I have a feeling he might be a high-sequence Gene Warrior too."

On the plaza, the Gene Warriors were whispering among themselves.

When Xue Yao saw Jiang Chen's mask, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha!"

"Whose idiot is this!"

Seeing everyone looking over, Commander Long Kui gestured for Jiang Chen to come up while introducing him through a megaphone.

"The Dragon Group plans to establish a new organization called the Dragon Palace."

"Dragon Palace—as the name suggests, this organization is modeled after the underwater Dragon Palace from ancient mythology."

"It will be composed mainly of water-element Gene Warriors."

"Of course, we don't have many water-element Gene Warriors at the moment, only about five."

"But through scientific research, we have extracted a gene called the N+ Gene, which allows Gene Warriors to adapt to underwater environments."

"Those interested can sign up."

"We are tentatively aiming for over thirty members, with plans to expand the scale later."

"And this person... is the person in charge of the Dragon Palace."

"For security reasons, you may address him as Lord Dragon King."

Commander Long Kui had Jiang Chen stand in front of him.

The crowd in the plaza looked at each other in confusion.

Xue Yao was already laughing uncontrollably, and she shouted on the spot: "Greetings, Lord Dragon King!"

The others followed suit and also shouted: "Greetings, Lord Dragon King!"

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."

Jiang Chen nodded in satisfaction.

These Gene Warriors had good foundations and would be enough to become future shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Those of the B-sequence could become shrimp soldiers.

Only those of the A-sequence could become crab generals.

Commander Long Kui led Jiang Chen down: "Most of the people here are B-sequence, but there are also A-sequence ones, and some are in the process of becoming A-sequence. They have great potential. You can pick some and have them demonstrate their abilities."

Jiang Chen followed Commander Long Kui into the plaza.

They came to a bare-chested middle-aged man.

He looked to have tough skin, but it wasn't clear what his special ability was.

"Show me," Jiang Chen said, glancing at him.

The middle-aged man nodded. He flexed his biceps, and his originally bronze-colored skin slowly turned the color of stone.

He punched a training hammer.

The hammer instantly dented.

The scene erupted in an uproar.

Commander Long Kui introduced him with a smile: "B-sequence, Stone-Skin Man. Both offensive and defensive, excels in burst power."

Jiang Chen nodded and poked his taut muscles: "Are you willing to become a shrimp soldier of the Dragon Palace?"

"I am!"

The middle-aged man nodded. He had heard about the N+ Gene; if he could dive underwater, it would be equivalent to gaining an extra ability.

Moreover, this Dragon Palace sounded pretty good.

Jiang Chen walked toward the second person.

It was an old man with a goatee, wearing a martial arts uniform.

"This old gentleman is a B-sequence Fish-Gill Man. He has had fish gills on the back of his neck since he was a child and can breathe without using his lungs... Old Xu, show the Lord Dragon King."

Commander Long Kui introduced him.

Without a word, the old man turned around on the spot.

His wrinkled skin on the back of his neck, which had looked unremarkable, suddenly moved. As if rippling, fish gills appeared, opening and closing.

"Don't let his age fool you; in the water, no one can outrun him."

"If the Olympics didn't forbid him from participating, he would definitely be the champion of every swimming competition."

Commander Long Kui laughed.

Jiang Chen thought this old man must be able to slip away quickly, making him suitable for relaying information.

"Old gentleman, you can survive underwater without the N+ Gene. Are you interested in joining our Dragon Palace?"

The old gentleman smiled: "I am."

He was getting old, and his children and grandchildren had long since started their own families. Now, he just wanted to wander the world, which was why he came to the Dragon Group. If he could join the Dragon Palace at the bottom of the sea, perhaps it would be a unique life!

"Good."

Jiang Chen continued to follow Commander Long Kui toward the center of the plaza.

He successively selected a few more B-sequence ones.

In the middle, there was also an A-sequence woman whose main ability was freezing.

Jiang Chen felt that this person could better utilize her abilities underwater, so he granted her the position of crab general on the spot.

Unknowingly, the two walked up to Xue Yao.

Xue Yao was also curiously sizing up the man in front of her.

He was quite tall, similar to her husband.

It's just that his voice was a vocal fry, which sounded terrible.

And that crooked-mouth mask—he looked like an idiot at first glance.

"You..."

When Jiang Chen walked up to her, he realized that this woman wearing the Dragon Group's standard training uniform was actually Xue Yao!

He was stunned on the spot!

Didn't Xue Yao say she was going to be a medic at a hospital under the military department!

Why was she here!

Commander Long Kui, who was beside them, introduced her: "Hmm, this is Ms. Xue Yao. She joined our Dragon Group not long ago, but she has huge potential. Her main ability is electric current. She is currently A-sequence, I believe, but I feel she still has room for improvement..."

"Xue Yao, show Lord Dragon King."

As soon as he finished speaking, silver electric currents appeared at Xue Yao's fingertips, crackling and spreading through the air.

The nearby Gene Warriors saw this scene and were so scared that they retreated one after another.

Some of them had tried to hit on Xue Yao before, only to be given an 'afro' by [Xue · Tony · Yao] on the spot.

After that, no man dared to approach her.

Only a few female Gene Warriors like Long Xi, as well as Commander Long Kui and others, could avoid getting a perm.

"How about it, Lord Dragon King? My ability is pretty good, right? Can I get a position as a crab general?"

Xue Yao retracted the electric current and looked at Jiang Chen with a bit of smugness.

My electric current ability can even take down my own tough husband; surely I can take down a mere crab general position?

Must take it down.

At this moment, Jiang Chen, under his mask, was completely dumbfounded after seeing the electric current at Xue Yao's fingertips.

Holy crap.

Since when did you become a Gene Warrior!

And a charged one at that!

Why didn't I notice!

Wait...

I think I remember now.

There were a few times before when the battle lasted too long.

Just as he was feeling smug, a sudden sensation of electric current would appear.

He would surrender on the spot.

He had been confused back then.

Where did that electric current sensation come from!

Now!

He understood.

It was you, you brat, releasing it on purpose.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's heart was in turmoil, his breathing was rapid, and it felt as if he had a thousand words in his throat that he wanted to pour out to Xue Yao.

But these thousand words ultimately turned into a single teasing remark.

"Beauty, your skin is a bit fair."

Xue Yao ￣へ￣ : ???

The next second.

Crackle!

A bolt of electricity landed on Jiang Chen.

He was instantly fried into an afro.

Xue Yao said coldly, expressionless: "Tease me again, and I'll electrocute you until you're charred."

"Holy crap, Lord Dragon King, are you okay?!"

Commander Long Kui was startled and hurriedly steadied Jiang Chen.

This Jiang Chen was a precious treasure from the Longke Academy.

He couldn't let him get electrocuted to death in his Dragon Group!
