Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 147: Deadly

“Is there anything else?” Lin Shen had to stop and looked at the man as he asked.

The man was still operating the joystick and didn’t turn around as he spoke calmly, “We’ve met before on Realm King Planet.”

“Met before.” The other party had already recognized him, and Lin Shen couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to; he was now very suspicious whether the man’s visit to his shop was a coincidence or intentional.

If it was a coincidence, the man was someone who grew up hiding in trees and had just arrived at the Human Mother Planet; from where did he get the information that this was his shop?

If it wasn’t a coincidence, then it was just too coincidental. The Mother Planet was so vast, so why did he specifically come to Dark Bird Base and, more specifically, to his shop?

“This is your shop?” the man asked again.

“Yes.” At this point, Lin Shen could only admit it.

“I spent five hundred before, and now I’ve spent another five hundred. Can I catch the Base Mutation Egg inside?” the man continued to ask without turning back.

“Yes.” Lin Shen answered confidently.

Because the Base Mutation Egg inside was the best in the shop, this machine had the lowest probability of success in the entire shop—about one in every twenty attempts would be successful.

Each game required two coins, each coin costing ten yuan, which meant that approximately four hundred yuan should be enough to catch a Base Mutation Egg.

Of course, there was only a probability, but if your claw angle was too bad and you didn’t grab the Base Mutation Egg inside, then no matter how tight the claw was, it still wouldn’t be possible to catch it.

In this respect, Lin Shen wasn’t worried. With the strange man’s abilities, his judgment couldn’t be that poor; he could always grab the Base Mutation Egg, but it was due to the claw being too loose that he couldn’t catch it.

Once a certain number of attempts were made, the claw would naturally become very tight. If it grabbed the egg, it would definitely be able to catch it.

The strange man had bought a thousand yuan’s worth of coins in two goes. With good luck, he could catch three Base Mutation Eggs, and with bad luck, he should still be able to catch two; Lin Shen was confident in that.

“Then let’s wait and see.” The strange man said while he continued to try to catch the Base Mutation Egg.

“Your Excellency means to say that if you can’t catch the toy, you’re going to take my life, is that right?” Lin Shen speculated.

The strange man gave no answer, just kept playing on his own.

About the strange man, Lin Shen had already made some guesses in his heart; he wasn’t a mindless killer, but his murder threshold was very low, lower than what a normal person might comprehend.

“It seems that Your Excellency is a person of principles, so let’s talk about fairness,” Lin Shen said thoughtfully, “If you can’t catch the Base Mutation Egg and want to kill me, although I don’t agree that I deserve to die, that’s your standard, and according to your standard, I do. But if by your standard I shouldn’t die, yet you have to pay nothing, isn’t that a bit unfair?”

Zhao Li and Qi Tianfu were hiding outside the door of the shop, eavesdropping on the noises inside. When Lin Shen said that the strange man would kill him if he didn’t catch the toy, Qi Tianfu curled his lips and said, “That guy set the claws in the shop so loose, now he’s reaping what he sowed, huh? If he can’t catch it, won’t he be a dead man for sure?”

“Shut your crow’s mouth; it can definitely be caught. It’s bound to hit once in about twenty tries,” Zhao Li glared at him and said.

“About one in twenty times for catching it, that’s just talking about the looseness of the claw to catch the Base Mutation Egg, but what if the strange man goes off on that one try?” Qi Tianfu said.

“There’s no ‘what if’.” Zhao Li reached out and pinched Qi Tianfu, causing him to wince in pain.

Outside, many people were watching from afar; there were people from the Qi Family and the Wang Family. With such a big commotion at Dark Bird Base, Qi Shuheng and Wang Tian’er had come too, but they didn’t dare approach the Wealth-flaunting Claw Crane Shop.

“Is that murderous devil here specifically for your Qi Family, or is he aiming for the Lin Family?” Wang Tian’er asked thoughtfully.

“It should be aimed at the Lin Family; our Qi Family is just suffering undeserved calamity,” Qi Shuheng repeated his investigative findings.

After hearing this, Wang Tian’er smiled wryly, “To kill so many people over the discourtesy of a child, that person’s killing intent is indeed heavy.”

“That’s the way of the world these days,” Qi Shuheng said with depression. If they had investigated thoroughly earlier, those Alloy members of the Qi Family wouldn’t have had to die.

Knowing how ferocious the strange man was, the Qi Family wouldn’t have sent people to trouble him again.

“With such heavy killing intent, this time Lin Shen is probably in big trouble,” Wang Tian’er sighed.

Although Lin Shen’s death would be a good thing for the Wang Family, being so utterly overpowered made Wang Tian’er feel a tinge of melancholy for the inevitable fate of the rabbit when the fox dies.

Today someone was capable of crushing Lin Shen of the Lin Family; there was no guarantee that one day it wouldn’t be Wang Tian’er’s turn—no one can assure that they won’t offend someone in their lifetime.

Even if he did not offend anyone, with so many people in the Wang Family, if one offended a formidable character, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Wang Family.

At the entrance of the claw crane shop, Uncle Lei and several key members of the Lin Family had arrived with the Mutator. In Dark Bird Base, if the Lin Family were to be bullied like this, they couldn’t allow it.

Unfortunately, of these people, not even a single Crystal Base could be found; they were all Alloy Level, and having so many people didn’t really help much.

“Return to your positions, and don’t leave your posts without permission,” Lin Shen ordered as he saw them try to rush in, standing inside the door.

He knew that if these people came in, they would just be courting death; it would be pointless and throw away their lives for free.

“Didn’t you hear what I said? Am I, Lin Shen of the Lin Family, not taken seriously anymore?” Seeing that those people wouldn’t leave, Lin Shen’s face turned stern as he spoke.

“Mr. Lin Shen, it’s not that we don’t listen to you. But with the head of the family not here, we can’t let you be wronged, and certainly can’t let someone endanger your life,” Uncle Lei said.

“No one is endangering my life; I will solve my own problems. Uncle Lei, am I still a part of the Lin Family? Do my words still carry weight?” Lin Shen said with a cold face.

Uncle Lei bit his lip and turned to the four key members, “You guys take the people back first.”

“Is that proper? If something happens to Mr. Lin Shen when the head of the family isn’t here…” one of the key members hesitated.

“Listen to me, Mr. Lin Shen has his own judgment,” Uncle Lei said.

The four key members thought about it and agreed; considering Lin Shen’s performance on Realm King Planet, if even he couldn’t handle the situation, their involvement would be useless.

The four key members exchanged looks and each led their Mutators away.

However, Uncle Lei did not leave. He continued to stand outside, watching the situation inside, without saying anything further.

Seeing that Uncle Lei hadn’t left, Lin Shen knew it was useless to send him away and said nothing more.

“You do make some sense,” the strange man stopped and turned around, looking at Lin Shen for the first time, “If I don’t catch it, and I take your life, what do you want if I do catch it? My life?”
