Returning to the room, Hanabi was already asleep.
Li Ge didn't wake her, but quietly stepped into the basement.
First, he used the steelmaking furnace to melt the Adamantium alloy into liquid iron, then carefully poured the silvery liquid into the throwing knife mold.
While the Adamantium metal was cooling and solidifying, Li Ge sat to the side and took out a bagged dragon blood, taking a sip.
The dragon blood had the texture of a thick jelly and its taste was mediocre.
As soon as Li Ge finished experiencing the taste of the dragon blood, he felt his Bloodline Energy, which had been quietly residing in his head, stir as if stimulated by something.
The Bloodline Energy began to absorb the dragon blood on its own.
Every second, Li Ge could feel his Bloodline Energy growing stronger.
Seeing this, Li Ge immediately began chugging the dragon blood, and soon, two liters of dragon blood had entered Li Ge's stomach.
At this moment, his body was like a steamed lobster, with all his skin turned red.
But surprisingly, he didn't even break a single drop of sweat.
Li Ge now only felt his Bloodline Energy growing seemingly without end.
The Bloodline Energy he had strengthened from the Main God had greatly improved in both quality and quantity.
As time passed, Li Ge only felt a soft click from the Blood Core in his brain, and the Bloodline Energy in his body doubled again.
Only then did the effects of the dragon blood finally cease.
Li Ge instinctively called upon his Bloodline Energy and used Red Flame.
Boom!
A blood-Red Flame, tall enough to reach a person's height, shot out from Li Ge's hand!
"Hiss~" Li Ge gasped, taking a sharp breath. Was this also Red Flame??
If he just adjusted the direction, he could use it as a flamethrower, right?
His Bloodline Energy had clearly crossed the D-rank line and reached C-rank.
But this was only two liters of dragon blood?
In the original work, Zheng Zha and the others had consumed no small amount of rare treasures, yet they didn't seem to improve their bloodline rank this quickly.
"Wait, it seems that the humans in the Infinite Terror world leak energy. No matter what rare treasures they consume, they can only retain less than one-tenth of the energy in their bodies."
Li Ge then remembered his own situation; he had transmigrated!
And he had read Infinite Terror, clearly being a human from outside this multiverse.
As for why Li Ge could unlock the Gene Lock, it could only be said that in this world, as long as one believed they were human, they could unlock the Gene Lock, so it wasn't strange.
"So I don't leak energy, and the effects of the rare treasures I eat don't diminish?"
"No wonder I always felt something was off. According to the description in the original work, Red Flame should only be usable by C-rank bloodlines with enough energy."
"But I could use it even when I was a D-rank bloodline, and even the Main God didn't give me any notification."
Li Ge hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise. Wasn't he about to soar?
"Hahahahaha, awesome! That directly saved me over two thousand reward points and one C-rank side mission."
Li Ge extinguished Red Flame, stood up, and went to the cooled throwing knife mold, opening it.
The time it took for his bloodline to advance was already enough for the Adamantium metal to cool.
He saw five throwing knives, as thin as cicada wings, lying quietly there. With a thought, one Adamantium alloy throwing knife floated up.
Under his control, it zipped back and forth in the air.
Li Ge turned his gaze to a steel plate standing not far away in the basement, pushing the throwing knife with all his Telekinesis.
Bang!
A sonic boom erupted.
The throwing knife vanished from Li Ge's sight in the blink of an eye, instantly piercing through the standing steel plate, the edges of the hole even glowing with a scorching red light.
This level of lethality was enough for him to walk around Kōtetsujō with impunity.
After that, he just needed to methodically deplete his Telekinesis and then slowly recover it, and his Telekinesis rank would continuously improve.
Li Ge had nothing else to tinker with now, so he immediately began training in the basement.
He simultaneously controlled three throwing knives while in the Gene Lock state, and when the backlash occurred, he would drink ordinary blood exchanged with reward points from the Main God to recover his body.
After his Telekinesis was completely exhausted, Li Ge would then practice with Red Flame and the manipulation of Bloodline Energy.
When Hanabi woke up and came looking for him, Li Ge would pull her along to transform into a divine weapon and train in close-quarters combat.
When he was truly too tired, Li Ge would embrace Hanabi, cultivating together to improve his physical fitness before sleeping and resting.
After waking up naturally, he would repeat the above training again.
Damn it, who else in the entire Zhongzhou Team could cultivate as diligently as Li Ge?
Each of them was probably busy getting intimate with their created beings, especially Zheng Zha!
No need to even think about it, that Luo Li-loving gorilla probably just practiced a few times before going back to Luo Li to replenish his Luo Li Energy.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Li Ge stopped this state.
It wasn't because he was tired, but mainly because it was time to return to the last horror movie as agreed.
Li Ge's Gene Lock had been completely mastered during these few days of frequent activation, and the backlash after ending it had directly disappeared.
As for Telekinesis, it had increased by 30kg, and its range had expanded by five meters.
As for the throwing knives, he could simultaneously control three while in the Gene Lock state, and each could be maintained at 1.5 times the speed of sound, as if an extension of his arm.
If he unleashed his full power, he could break through three times the speed of sound.
However, once the throwing knife flew out, it couldn't be stopped and recalled before leaving the Telekinesis control range.
But this was already terrifying, considering Li Ge was only D-rank in Telekinesis, yet he could achieve this level.
Zhang Jie, who could fully utilize AA-rank Telekinesis, could probably directly flip the entire island nation.
It could only be said that Telekinesis truly held great promise for the future.
"My dear, the little succubus has come to find you, but she seems to be a bit unhappy."
Hanabi walked into the basement at this moment and said to Li Ge.
"I know."
Li Ge put on the nanotech suit he had placed aside, and hung the throwing knives in the special pockets sewn on the inside of the sleeves, before following Hanabi out of the basement.
Hearing the movement, Zhan Lan looked towards the basement door, seeing Li Ge's muscles faintly visible beneath his suit, and his temperament and face even more enchanting and demonic than before.
For a moment, she was stunned, even forgetting that she was still angry.
"Little succubus, are you being greedy again?" Hanabi said with a chuckle, teasing the dumbfounded Zhan Lan.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about, I'm not greedy, and don't call me little succubus!"
Zhan Lan's face instantly turned red, and she angrily retorted to Hanabi.
Then she pointed her finger at Li Ge, snorting lightly and turning her head away, saying, "Hmph, scumbag, hurry up and go. We're just waiting for you; everyone's here."
Zhan Lan was clearly angry because the other party had done nothing after taking her.
Five whole days! Did he know how much mental preparation she had made!
But Li Ge hadn't come to find her at all, not even seen her.
Now seeing this guy, Zhan Lan was so angry her teeth itched, wishing she could bite him.
Li Ge also realized that Zhan Lan was having a little mood, but it was true, he had been so busy that he had completely forgotten about her.
He didn't refute her at the moment, but walked directly towards her.
He wasn't very good at coaxing people, but he knew what to do at this moment.
As long as he comforted her with actions, Zhan Lan would definitely forgive him, although it would take some time, but he would just trouble Zheng Zha and the others to wait a little longer.
"Wait, what are you doing coming over here?"
"No! You're still coming!?"
"Wuwu, I was wrong, I shouldn't have called you a scumbag."
Zhan Lan ultimately magnanimously forgave Li Ge.
