Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day-Chapter 405 - 353: A Terrifying Increase (Part 2)

When this issue was mentioned, Old Zhao’s face changed slightly, then he cautiously said, "I do remember, but back then he hadn’t revealed himself as Mr. Ancestor. Now that he’s publicly announced it to the world, if we continue using his image for advertising, won’t we risk angering him?"

"Hahaha, you’re such a worrywart, Old Zhao." Qin Liang laughed heartily: "Mr. Lu isn’t that kind of person. Back when there was a problem on his end, I called him, and guess what? His first response was to offer to terminate the contract and compensate us. I directly refused and said I would always stand with him. Do you think someone like Mr. Lu, with such an open mind, would get upset? Besides, he also said he’s willing to be our McBao King’s spokesperson indefinitely, so don’t worry, he won’t get angry."

Old Zhao’s eyes lit up, "You mean, we should take advantage of this hype and quickly put Mr. Lu’s endorsement back up?"

Qin Liang nodded vigorously, "Exactly, with the buzz so high and such a great opportunity, we can’t miss it. Quickly have someone put Mr. Lu’s endorsement back up."

Old Zhao quickly stood up, "Alright, I’ll get it done right away."

With that, Old Zhao left in high spirits.

Qin Liang sat there, feeling quite excited, too.

Previously, he genuinely wanted to support Lu Li in a one-sided manner, but who could have guessed that such a kind gesture would give them the chance to generate immense buzz this time, saving the company a significant amount in advertising costs.

He believed that once the promotional video of Lu Li endorsing McBao King aired again, it would certainly boost McBao King’s sales to new heights!

...

That’s what Qin Liang thought.

However, reality turned out to be unexpected.

Later that evening, just before work ended, Old Zhao brought back some bewildering news.

In the office, Qin Liang looked at Old Zhao in utter disbelief, "What? Every store reported that when we displayed Mr. Lu’s endorsement, all the customers disappeared?"

Old Zhao looked baffled, "Yeah, they all became deserted."

Qin Liang was utterly dumbfounded, "It shouldn’t be like this. Mr. Lu is so popular right now; how could our stores lose all their customers when we put up his endorsement?"

Old Zhao weakly speculated, "Maybe everyone is really scared of Mr. Ancestor, so when they saw Mr. Lu as our spokesperson, they were afraid to come in for food?"

"No way?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Qin Liang furrowed his brows, casually opened the food rating of a McBao King branch, and found that the ratings were surprisingly good; what used to be only four stars had now become five stars.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but be stunned, wondering why the ratings were so high.

Qin Liang, unable to believe it, scrolled through the reviews and discovered that the latest ones had no negative comments at all.

How was that possible!

For a food company to have no negative feedback is as unlikely as a human crossing the cosmos in just their flesh and bones!

After all, it’s impossible for food to suit everyone’s taste; plus, a store always makes some mistakes that anger customers and lead to complaints.

So, having negative reviews is normal; the weird part is having none!

Qin Liang was truly at a loss, constantly flipping through those reviews, trying to figure out what was going on.

Initially, he was really clueless.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off for Qin Liang, and he started looking at the previous negative comments.

Those comments had expired and couldn’t be edited, only additional reviews were allowed.

Soon, he found an old negative review.

This particular review gave two stars, with a comment saying: "Eat McBao King at your own risk, I’ve been hit and now a true living spray warrior."

Seeing this, Qin Liang couldn’t help but chuckle, thinking that although this reviewer gave a negative comment, they had a humorous way with words.

However, once he caught sight of the five-star follow-up review below, he immediately couldn’t laugh anymore.

The follow-up read: "I’m sorry, I really didn’t know McBao King’s spokesperson was Mr. Ancestor, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have given a bad review before, please Sir Ancestor, don’t come for my family."

Qin Liang: "..."

He kept scrolling through several old negative reviews, finding that the follow-ups were all similar!

At this moment, Qin Liang finally understood why all the customers ran away after McBao King put up Lu Li’s endorsement again today.

Because everyone was simply too afraid, terrified that they might accidentally offend the company endorsed by Mr. Ancestor and incur a catastrophic disaster, so they all fled, even being too scared to come back.

Seeing this, Qin Liang was almost at the point of cursing. Lu Li was such a kind person, how could he seem like a heartless Murderous Demon King in their eyes?

After thinking it over, recalling how Lu Li annihilated the entire Jalisco Group, the Morgan Clan, and then killed thirty thousand mercenaries and seven thousand official soldiers in Niger, he truly was like a Demon King!

And then, Qin Liang was in tears.

Initially, he just wanted to ride the wave of publicity from Lu Li’s identity revelation.

But who could have known that, in trying to steal a chicken, he ended up losing the rice used to lure it, leaving McBao King into a situation where no one dared to dine there.

...

Ten days passed in a flash.

In the cosmic space, Lu Li finally arrived near the sun.

Over the past few days of continuous evolution, his body’s energy transformation rate increased from fifty-one percent to fifty-five percent.

Of course, along with the increase in energy transformation, his flight speed also received multiple boosts.

For example, when he had energy transformation at fifty-one percent, his flight speed reached thirty-four point four kilometers per second.

Then, at fifty-two percent, this speed skyrocketed to sixty-eight point eight kilometers per second.

Now, he has an energy transformation of fifty-five percent.

His flight speed alone has reached about five hundred fifty point four kilometers per second.

Thus, he was able to travel from the distant Earth to near the sun in just ten short days.

Well, actually, most of the journey was completed after reaching fifty-five percent energy transformation.

Once he reached this level, he could fly over forty-seven million five hundred fifty thousand kilometers in a day.

Considering the previous part of the journey, it took roughly two days to arrive.

Although the skyrocketing flight speed signifies that his own power has grown to a terrifying level.

However, Lu Li still felt that the fifty-five percent energy transformation hadn’t reached the stage completed by the fifth deep evolution.

This time, the deep evolution caused his strength to skyrocket in an especially terrifying way.

Lu Li was somewhat curious, "At present, I haven’t fully completed the fifth deep evolution, yet my strength has increased so much. How powerful will I become upon completing the fifth deep evolution?"

Thinking about this, he looked up at the enormous yellow dwarf star not far away—the sun.

Lu Li muttered to himself, "The energy here is shockingly abundant; I should be able to quickly absorb enough of it, then find a place to rest for a few days to complete the fifth deep evolution. By then, I will discover the answer!"
