Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 207 - 162 Chen Dalong’s Strength_2

The rest of the people also nodded reluctantly. To be honest, they didn’t have the kind of confidence that Chen Dalong had.

But no matter what, they, as superhumans, had gone through a series of special training over these 10 days, so they weren’t too afraid.

"Very good!" Zhang Ji nodded.

Originally, he wanted to say, "It’s all right now, you can go back."

But looking at the Spirit Fruits in everyone’s hands, he had a thought and asked, "After taking this Spirit Fruit, what Realm do you think you can reach?"

"Should be able to break through to the Middle of the Second Order!" Pei Jin said.

The others nodded as well. Taking into account that the people here had used a total of 4 Spiritual Fruits, theoretically, they should be able to reach the Middle of the Second Order. Not to mention that for the past dozen days, they had been continuously absorbing Spiritual Energy and improving their cultivation.

Someone like Pei Jin, who had decent Talent, could probably break through to the Middle of the Second Order in about another 10 days without the Spiritual Fruit.

"I already broke through to the Middle of the Second Order three days ago. Before it was a bit difficult to release two Fire Serpents at the same time, but after absorbing this Spirit Fruit and further increasing my strength, I should be able to fully master it," Wang Feng said with a hint of pride.

Because previously in the Forbidden Zone, he had received a reward of an additional Spirit Fruit compared to others.

At this point, Chen Dalong, cleared his throat and said, "After taking this Spirit Fruit, I should be able to break through to the Second Order Peak."

The statement from Chen Dalong instantly made everyone widen their eyes in disbelief.

"How could your Realm improve so fast?" Wang Feng voiced the question that was on everyone’s mind.

"Not bad, right? I awakened to become a superhuman earlier than all of you. I feel my cultivation speed is also faster than yours, maybe this is what Talent is!" Chen Dalong said unabashedly.

Actually, the cultivation resources Chen Dalong obtained simply did not compare to those of the other people.

When these people had just broken through to become superhumans, Chen Dalong had already received 2 Spiritual Fruits from Ye Feng.

Then in the following days, he invested in a garment factory and helped Ye Xiangfeng to be promoted to supervisor, earning another 2 Spiritual Fruits as a reward.

Add to that the four owed by the military, and in total, he had already gotten his hands on 8 Spiritual Fruits; breaking through to the Second Order Peak was naturally expected.

But the others didn’t know, so at this time, they were somewhat fooled by Chen Dalong.

After all, in their eyes, Chen Dalong was the only one in Yang City who had awakened to become a superhuman before the third Spiritual Energy Resurgence.

It was natural for his Talent to be better than theirs, but to be this much better, and his Combat Power so strong, was astonishing.

Suddenly, some of them felt a sense of inferiority.

Zhang Ji didn’t care about the others’ emotions and complimented directly, "Impressive indeed, truly worthy of being the number one powerhouse in Yang City!"

"That’s all I have to say. Everyone else can go back now. Chen Dalong, stay for a moment."

Hearing this, quite a few people looked at Chen Dalong with envious eyes.

They all knew that there must be some benefit to being asked to stay behind at this point.

But they had no choice since they lacked the abilities, and they couldn’t say much, so they quickly left with the Spirit Fruits in their hands.

They feared that if they were slow, their Spirit Fruits would be taken away and given to Chen Dalong.

Once everyone had left, Chen Dalong, full of anticipation, asked Zhang Ji, "Captain Zhang, is there something you need by asking me to stay? Could it be that you still have a Spirit Fruit on hand?"

"Ahem!" Zhang Ji cleared his throat and said, "That’s not the case, and with your Talent, after giving you another Spirit Fruit next time, you should probably be able to break through to the Third Order smoothly, right?"

Hearing that the other party thought so highly of him, Chen Dalong really wanted to deny it, but having just boasted, he could only swallow his words.

"So Captain Zhang, why have you kept me behind?" Chen Dalong asked directly.

"If I’m not mistaken, your security company should have 15 people who have reached a Level A Gene Compatibility Degree, right?" Zhang Ji inquired.

This so-called compatibility assessment was a command issued by the Chinese Academy of Sciences five days ago.

To test this compatibility, one only needed to collect 50 milliliters of blood and put it into a machine, receiving results in basically one minute.

This was a national screening program, and of course, due to limited time and equipment, over the span of ten days, out of the over 7 million people in Yang City, only more than 2 million completed the compatibility assessment.

The compatibility assessment was divided into five levels, represented by the letters A to E.

The closer the letter is to the beginning of the alphabet, the higher the compatibility.

Normally, the number of people reaching Level A is about 1% of the total population, but the military quickly discovered during the actual tests that the younger the population, the higher the compatibility rating tended to be.

Take Chen Dalong’s Mad Dragon Security Company for instance; it now has a total of 300 combat personnel, yet 15 have achieved a Level A Gene Compatibility Degree, which is a whole 5% of the total number.

Upon hearing Zhang Ji’s question, Chen Dalong immediately nodded, "Yes, 15 in total."

He looked at the other party expectantly and asked, "Is this compatibility assessment related to the Gene Potion?"

Previously, the military had only issued the order for everyone to undergo this test but never explained why it was necessary.

There was already a plethora of speculations on the internet, and some even presented video evidence along with detailed reports on Gene Potions, but the officials had never confirmed any of it, so there was still no definitive conclusion.

At that moment, Zhang Ji didn’t hide anything and nodded directly, "You’re right, and moreover, people with a Gene Compatibility Degree of Level A have almost a 100% probability of awakening as superhumans after receiving the Gene Potion."

Even though he got the answer he wanted, Chen Dalong was still shocked.

You see, if there are 15 people with a Level A Gene Compatibility Degree among his company’s 300 people, doesn’t this mean that his security company might gain 15 additional superhumans in the future?

And if his security company could have that many superhumans, what about the other security companies?

Or even all the residents of Yang City combined, how many superhumans could be born then?

Wouldn’t that be tens of thousands?

Thinking about this made him feel incredibly thirsty.

"Then... then, could we not have many superhumans in the future?" Chen Dalong asked.

At that moment, his feelings were complex; on one hand, he was happy for humanity, but on the other, he was worried for the Dragon Hall.

"Correct, and even more than you imagine, because people with a Gene Compatibility Degree of Level B also have a nearly 50% chance of awakening as superhumans,"

"As for those with Level C, Level D, and Level E compatibility, the probabilities of awakening are 20%, 10%, and 5% respectively."

"Of course, there are also many people who do not even reach the standard of Level E in the compatibility assessment; those basically have no hope of awakening. But generally speaking, the numbers are quite substantial; according to our estimates, after screening everyone, we conservatively expect over 100,000," Zhang Ji said with a smile.

This was also something that the Chinese Academy of Sciences discovered later.

The gene fragments provided by Chen were very special; even if the compatibility was not complete, as long as the Gene Compatibility Degree reached a certain level, there was a probability of awakening as a superhuman.

If this part of the population was included, the number of people capable of awakening could even account for 2% of the total population.

At that time, Chen Dalong felt thirsty and agitated, temporarily at a loss for words.

Zhang Ji continued, "Of course, what I mentioned is just the probability; in fact, the production of Gene Potions is very limited."

"Generally speaking, a fifth-tier city can only apply for 200 Gene Potions, a fourth-tier city for 400, a third-tier city for 600, a second-tier city for 800, and a first-tier city for 1,000."

"As you know, our Yang City is currently receiving tremendous national support and will eventually become a first-tier city. So, when applying, Mayor Liu Zaoxin brazenly asked for 1,000 Gene Potions. Can you guess the result?"

Zhang Ji didn’t actually wait for an answer; after speaking, he gave the answer directly: "The top approved it, and they even gave 2,000 Gene Potions at one time."
