Chapter 521 Often Very Ruthless

Lin Ao’s heart was broken into pieces because he met a freak as freakish as Ye Lingchen.Generally speaking, a martial artist would undoubtedly find it very difficult to upgrade their combat achievements. Tasks, qualifications, and combat achievements were the main prerequisites to an assessment, but Ye Lingchen was an exception.

‘Tell me, why are you so good at settling things? It’s as if everything smashed upon contact with your lead. Is it a magnet?’

Most importantly, Ye Lingchen not only faced the problem and handled it exceptionally well, he even eliminated the evil forces cleanly. Generally, it was not even enough if a small division handled the situation. Once the task was completed, the battle achievements were naturally divided evenly between the division, but Ye Lingchen acted alone so his combat achievements accumulated very quickly.

On every occasion, Ye Lingchen completed yet another earth-shattering merit when Lin Ao had just confirmed Ye Lingchen’s position and had yet to inform him. As a result, Lin Ao was then required to recalculate the achievements again.

Such speed would surely drive the other martial artists mad if they found out.

“Brother Ye, I have to say this to you again. I respect you so much!” Lin Ao hugged Ye Lingchen in admiration and said, “You’ve actually gotten more than just an Upper-Class Warrior title with your exploits last time. It’s just that there are a lot of pedantic people, so they all tried suppressing it and only gave you the title of Upper-Class Warrior. I’m dying to see what else they’re going to say when I head back this time.”

“Hehe, these positions don’t matter.” Ye Lingchen shrugged and smiled.

He rarely showed up and many people in the Warrior’s Department did not know him, so it was only natural to face some difficulties in convincing people.

“This won’t do! Achievements are achievements! The sum of your contributions is more than what many people could achieve in their lifetimes. This is true strength, and it’s for the benefit of our country! I must not let anyone shun you!” Lin Ao said. “Even if you don’t get a Lower-Class General with the sum of all your achievements, there’s no problem getting an Upper-Class Sentinel!”

Ye Lingchen nodded. He knew that he did not need to be too courteous with Lin Ao since it was much more convenient to use Lin Ao’s background to deal with things.

“Aren’t they here yet? I’ll go up and have a look first.” Ye Lingchen looked at the building, then raised his legs and walked in after finishing his words.

Therefore, the building’s interior did not change much and it was still a complete mess, though perhaps that was to maintain the place as it was. After walking past the flesh and blood on the ground, Ye Lingchen arrived on the fifth floor again.

In the previous battles, Ye Lingchen discovered that there was a lot of data on the table of that floor. The computers contained lots of data too, and it was very likely that the information was all regarding the knowledge of biological genes. Whenever it came to the pursuit of knowledge, Ye Lingchen was always very hungry for it.

What was the most irresistible thing to a Prodigy? No guesses there! Knowledge, without a doubt!

Biology, as simple as it seemed, was a basic subject in every school, but advanced biology was definitely a high-level secret whereby research was forbidden.

The reason was because biology was too anti-human! Its power was just…immense!

It also made things difficult for ordinary people to touch upon such advanced contents of biology. In particular, topics such as genetic research were almost out-of-reach.

Presented with that rare opportunity, Ye Lingchen would certainly not let it slip by.

Although those materials had turned into a mess due to the tussle, it did not affect Ye Lingchen at all. It was a reflection of the Prodigy System’s abilities.

It was all because the Prodigy System did not need to follow a specific order. As long as it was acceptable or understandable, the system could automatically increase his proficiency.

Ye Lingchen’s biological proficiency had already reached 65%, so it was not that difficult to understand.

“Self-study The Subject of Genetic Fusion, biology proficiency +1.”

“Self-study The Subject of Genetic Fusion, biology proficiency +1.”

“Self-study Summary of Inter-Species Hybridization, biology proficiency +1.”

“Self-study Summary of Inter-Species Hybridization, biology proficiency +1.”

“Self-study Schematics of The Solution to Genetic Rejection, biology proficiency +1.”

…

Although there was no book on biology, there were a bunch of reports and summaries, all of which not only increased proficiency but did so at an even faster rate than a book!

Ye Lingchen delved in instantly and flipped through report after report. After reading the reports on the table, he bent over to pick up the reports on the ground. After reading the reports on the ground, he would also piece together the ones that had been torn apart from the battle.

Learning made him happy and allowed him to lose himself in it.

Beside him, Lin Ao gave up after flipping through it a few times, as he could not understand any of the contents at all. He knew every word, every symbol, and every number, but the sum of all its parts left him drowning in stupefaction and self-doubt. Moreover, the thing that broke him most was that some of it was not only in Chinese, but in the Sun Nation language, in French, and even languages from some small and backward countries. In short, they were all in different languages.

Looking at such a thing was even more terrifying than death.

However, he was immediately shocked when he saw Ye Lingchen’s engrossed appearance. His mouth opened wider and wider, and he could not say a single thing at all.

In addition to being surprised, he was even more embarrassed.

Gap! That was the gap between the two of them!

Look at how diligent Brother Ye was! He had such hunger and thirst for knowledge. Everyone could only see his success, but they never saw how hard he worked behind the scenes!

Lin Ao was in awe and could not help but be reminded of a famous saying, ‘I pounce on a book like a hungry man pounces on bread!’

Ye Lingchen did not hesitate to lie on the ground, carefully glue the pieces of paper together, and then study without blinking. How many people could achieve that kind of persistence and concentration?

By comparison, Lin Ao was far too inferior. The olden sayings were right, ‘learning could change one’s destiny!’

Ye Lingchen naturally did not know what Lin Ao was going through, but if he knew, he would definitely just smile indifferently. ‘No one saw how hard I worked behind the scenes, but what they can’t see at all…was the system in my body!’

Finally, when he read the ‘Report on the Relationship Between Genetic Variation and Fusion’ again, his biological proficiency soared to the maximum!

With 100% proficiency, Ye Lingchen immediately let out a long sigh of relief. There was a sense of accomplishment in his heart and he finally conquered a very difficult subject.

At the same time, he also had a hypothesis about the partitioning of knowledge in the system.

Elder Hiroshi’s research had obviously exceeded biological limits, and he had begun writing articles on genes. It stood to reason that his proficiency should be more than 100%. In other words, it ought to advance to the next level, but It did not.

The standard by which the system measured proficiency should be based on all the contents of a particular piece of knowledge. As for what that knowledge was used by others to do, it was no longer within the scope of proficiency.

For example, there were many songs on earth that were created by various singers. The methods of writing songs were no doubt different, but Ye Lingchen only needed to master those methods of writing songs. That way, the proficiency of writing songs would naturally reach 100% and there was no need to learn all the songs on earth.

The same was true for biology. Some people studied the genetic variation of biology, while others studied the genetic fusion of biology or perhaps biological structure. The standard for which the system measured proficiency was those basic knowledge.

At that moment, those discoveries overturned Ye Lingchen’s earlier guesses!

In the past, Ye Lingchen thought that 100% proficiency was the limit for people on Earth to master, but it was only then that his belief was corrected.

100% proficiency could only be said to encompass all the basic content contained in a particular knowledge. However, use of that knowledge depended on the person!

Knowledge was dead and man was alive, meaning man could integrate and use that knowledge!

For example, Elder Hiroshi’s biology had also reached 100% proficiency, so he began to use his knowledge to come up with something like a genetic warrior. If he continued the research and succeeded, it would be similar to entering into the ranks of a powerful skill.

Ye Lingchen postulated that after his biological proficiency reached 100% and the system upgraded it, it would most likely be the final result of Elder Hiroshi’s research.

For some reason, Ye Lingchen felt a little sympathetic for the old man.

Ye Lingchen wondered how desperate the old man would be after finding out that his lifetime research was easily surpassed by Ye Lingchen.

Sigh. The blow delivered by a prodigy was often very ruthless…
