Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits-Chapter 124 - 100, full of harvest
"Getting started is very simple."
Chen Guang said, "The main issue is that Star Refining Skill involves genes. You can consider it a kind of alternative Combat Skill. Its cultivation difficulty is akin to mastering the original version of Combat Skill before Genetic Awakening, which is achieved by very few."
"Oh?" Lin Qing roughly understood the difficulty.
It indeed seemed very challenging.
At Inspection Headquarters, most of the Senior Patrol Chiefs were Genetic Awakened: only a few who had not undergone Genetic Awakening had mastered the original version of Combat Skill prior to Awakening.

Inspection Headquarters could be called a gathering place for the world’s Patrol Elites. The Senior Patrol Chiefs who came this time, except for one who was a Genetic Awakener, all mastered the original version of Combat Skill before Awakening—though there were only about a dozen of them.
Although it was certain that not all Senior Patrol Chiefs like these had come to the Inspection Headquarters, one could see how scarce this type of Combat Skill talent was.
"However, your Combat Skill talent is astonishing, so you likely can succeed in cultivation," Chen Guang said.
She stretched out her slender fingertips and tapped in the air; numerous sheets of white paper appeared, densely filled with text and images.
"Take note of this."
"This is the formulation for the Energy Stabilizer, which you can give to Inspection Headquarters to enjoy free access to Energy Stabilizers," Chen Guang said.
She tapped her fingertips again, and more sheets of white paper with text appeared next to her, "This is a Star Refining Skill suitable for Earth people, which you can also hand over to Inspection Headquarters."
Lin Qing immediately began to quietly read.
With his current photographic memory, one look was enough.
After taking in the information, Lin Qing asked, "Just hand this over to Inspection Headquarters? If Intelligent Star Group finds out, wouldn’t they feel threatened by Earth and try to suppress us in advance?"
Chen Guang was silent for a moment, then shook her head, "I don’t know if you’re overestimating Earth’s civilization or underestimating the civilization of Intelligent Star."
"Hmm?" Lin Qing looked at her.
"This research, to the Intelligent Star People, is like the elementary education universally provided to Earth people."
"In the eyes of Intelligent Star People, we are just a bunch of ants with a similar appearance; compared to the civilization of Intelligent Star, which lasts for hundreds of thousands of years, Earth is too weak."
"Why haven’t the Intelligent Star People just taken over Earth then?" Lin Qing asked curiously, "Is it really to help civilization develop? What do Intelligent Star People see in Earth?"
"The reasons are complex, and I’m not quite sure,"
Chen Guang shook her head, "But what is certain is that the situation is related to the laws of intergalactic civilizations and also… there are people like Qi Lingxiao, the founder of Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall, and Chu Hongjun, the founder of Dawn Group here. Intelligent Star Group is willing to invest in them and naturally will give them a certain respect."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems, these two important figures are merely considered by Intelligent Star People as being worthwhile investments, but not a threat?"
"That’s correct."
Chen Guang nodded slightly, saying, "You shouldn’t see Intelligent Star Group as representing the civilization of Intelligent Star People. It is like a multinational corporation on Earth, can it represent the strength of a nation?"
Lin Qing was shocked and nodded lightly.
"In other words, to the Intelligent Star People, Qi Lingxiao and Chu Hongjun are just talented natives who are worth the investment."
Chen Guang said, "But my father once said that no matter how high the talent of Qi Lingxiao and Chu Hongjun, as long as the Intelligent Star People wish, they could never pose a threat to Intelligent Star civilization."
Lin Qing seemed thoughtful.
Dr. Chu Hui had once been a high-ranking member of the Bright Society, and both Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall and Dawn Group seemed to have branched off from the Bright Society.
It made sense for Dr. Chu Hui to know these things.
"By the way,"
Lin Qing suddenly said, "Dr. Chu Hui and Chu Hongjun, the founder of Dawn Group, both share the surname Chu. Is there a relation?"
"There is," Chen Guang said, "My father was one of Chu Hongjun’s adopted sons."
Lin Qing suddenly realized.
Then, he looked around and asked, "Is there anything else you can give me? I’m tired of searching and causing destruction."
"Do you need a First Rank Starry Sky Battle Dress?" Chen Guang asked.
"Of course." Lin Qing nodded, glancing at his tattered Patrol Chief uniform.
The intelligence brought out of the research institute by Patrol had confirmed the existence of Starry Sky Battle Dresses within.
To be precise, this was a spacesuit, but extremely lightweight and would not hinder movement.
Intelligent Star Group produced them for those who had not undergone Genetic Awakening, enabling the suit to change its shape to adapt to different environments and hazards.
"This is used by Intelligent Star children when landing on alien planets; you can definitely use it now."
Chen Guang tapped the ground with the tip of his finger, and a section of the floor slowly depressed and then rose again, this time with a small box on it.
Child-sized, huh?
Lin Qing found himself at a loss for words as he walked forward and picked up the small box.
Upon opening it, he saw a fist-sized, transparent, gel-like substance.
"Let it acquire a bit of your body tissue, like blood. Once merged, it will be able to sense your thoughts,"
Chen Guang cautioned, "Imagine the clothing configuration in your mind, infuse it with Mysterious Energy, and it will change according to your wishes, though it does have a limit to its maximum hardness and isn’t very tough. With your strength, you could tear it apart, but it can repair itself quickly and maintain life functions."
Lin Qing used his thumb to draw out a fine thread of Invisible Blade, made a small cut on his index finger, and then let the blood drop onto the transparent gel-like substance.
The next moment, the substance wrapped around his finger, spreading continually along his finger and soon enveloped his entire body, including his face.
Yet he felt no suffocation; instead, he felt rather comfortable.
So this was the life-support function?
Lin Qing, deep in thought, began to infuse the Mysterious Energy within him while envisioning in his mind the clothing he needed.
The next moment, the transparent gel-like substance that covered him suddenly began to change and display an array of colors. In just a few seconds, it had turned into the uniform of a Patrol Chief.
It looked exactly like the real Patrol Chief’s uniform, even the material felt the same.
"Truly magical," Lin Qing couldn’t help exclaiming.
"Intelligent Star Group’s technology is indeed impressive," Chen Guang spoke softly.
Lin Qing morphed his shape a few times, quickly stripping off his original Patrol Chief uniform, ragged and no longer wearable.
He looked again at Chen Guang and asked, "Is there anything else you can give me?"
"Do you need a Biological Detection Instrument?" Chen Guang asked.
"A Biological Detection Instrument?" Lin Qing echoed.
"It can check the Life Level of yourself and others and, after extracting genetic material, can even retrieve the Genetic Optimization Index," Chen Guang explained.
"I’ll take it," Lin Qing nodded.
Chen Guang took out from beneath the floor what looked like a black ring and said, "Just wear it, and it will display the information directly on your retina."
After Lin Qing followed the instructions, he found the slightly oversized black ring automatically shrank to perfectly fit his finger size.
Almost immediately, he felt a slight pain on the tip of his finger and the information text appeared before his eyes.
[Life Level: Human Body Limit]
[Health Index: 95]
[Energy Remaining: 94.9%]
[Genetic Optimization Index: 51.9%]
"Not bad."
Lin Qing nodded slightly, satisfied, as this had indeed been a fruitful acquisition.
He then looked again at Chen Guang.
"There’s nothing left to give you," Chen Guang said. "Potions, weapons, and such have all been taken by the Patrol, and anything else you can’t carry away."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Guang, and said, "This Underground Research Institute has been stripped clean; probably no one will ever come here again. Aren’t you lonely staying here by yourself?"
Chen Guang looked at him, paused, and then countered, "Do you want me?"
