It was already four days later in middle age when they returned to Asgard, and after a bumpy journey, Zero and the others finally returned to the heavenly city of God. After the four of them went to Doomhammer's military aircraft to report and cancel their leave, Zero said goodbye to a few people for a while and drove alone to a clearing on the western outskirts of the city. The vacant lot is home to an abandoned factory building, a small power station in disrepair, and two dormitories.

It would have been one of the many food processing factories in Asgard, owned by merchant Pross. But years ago, after Pros was unable to repay a large amount of debt, he mortgaged it to Asgard. Because no suitable successor was found, the factory has been vacant until now. After learning that Zero was looking for an experimental site, at Ben's behest, the factory was rented to Zero at a very low price, and the necessary equipment and related personnel were purchased for it.

At present, the plant is ready for use after a simple transformation. Personnel and equipment were also in place, and when Zero arrived, a truck carrying equipment was about to leave. Zero parked his car at the gate of the factory, just in time to see Victor directing the staff to assemble the instruments. The doctor's radiant appearance was very different from the drunkard's dignity when Zero first met him.

"Move the tank a little over, gentlemen, please be careful. ”

"Damn, why isn't there electricity yet? Electrician, power on, all instruments must be tested for the first time!"

Victor tore his throat and yelled in the big factory, the contents of the factory have completed the preliminary transformation, and the training area, office, computer room, disinfection area and other functional areas have been established. However, all kinds of colorful cables can be seen everywhere on the ground, and the staff should be careful not to trip over these things while walking. Despite being messy, it makes people feel busy and angry.

In addition to assisting Victor's Jishu staff, Asgard also specially assigned a six-member escort to this laboratory. They are drawn from the city's security system, but they have to pay for the monthly expenses of guards, jishu personnel, and equipment. Therefore, seeing this busy laboratory, Zero has a sense of starting his career, and at the same time, he also understands that the burden on his shoulders has sunk a little.

In this way, he was glad that he had found time to go to the Blue Ridge Mountains. Although it would take at least three months for Parkland's financial dividends to receive their first tranche, it was finally a good start. It's just that in these three months, Zero has a lot to do. In addition to the fees required to pay the jihua, it is also necessary to open a general account for the collection of foreign exchange funds.

In addition to developing domestic demand, Asgard also has economic ties with other cities in the wilderness. For this purpose, Asgara Tri has provided banking services. So it's not difficult to get a universal account, and it's the income that makes zero headaches. In addition to the rental of the premises, the collateral for the equipment, and the payment of materials and salaries for the first quarter, there is not much money left in the loan issued by the firm.

Even if Parkland's first dividend is received three months later, it will not be enough to support Jihua's mid-to-late needs. As a result, Zero is now poor and short of money.

As he quickly analyzes the situation, Victor finally notices his arrival. The doctor yelled his name, bringing Zero back to his senses. Victor strode up and gave him a strong hug.

"I didn't think there was such a city on Shijie, oh my God, it's like a paradise. Victor said excitedly.

At the same time that Zero and the others left Raging Reef City for the Blue Ridge Mountains, Zero applied to Asgard for Victor's temporary residency rights. Because of the fact that the application had already been greeted, the application was quickly approved, and on the third day, someone from Asgard came to pick up the doctor and leave. Arriving in Asgard, the city of God, Victor was shocked more than Dangrì's zero.

Zero can understand how he feels, and in Asgard, it's like going back to the old days. The city strives to operate in an environment that no other city has. Victor loved it at first sight, and in fact, very few people come to Asgard and leave, and Victor is no exception. In this regard, Zero said that he could find a way to give Victor the right to permanent residence.

Victor was overjoyed to hear Zero's words, and hoped that after settling down, his wife's ashes could be migrated so that she could rest in peace in this paradise. The doctor's request is insignificant, and Zero naturally has no reason to refuse. In fact, before that, Zero had also considered keeping Victor in Asgarter for a long time. In addition to being reborn Jihua, Victor can also become the personal doctor of the squad.

This laboratory can also be retained after the completion of Jihua. Zero decided to make Victor the head of the lab, which could later be used to research and manufacture drugs, and if Zero was able to secure more resources, it could even research and produce genetic drugs. Originally, Zero was worried that Victor would not like to live here, and once Jihua succeeded, he would leave, but now the problem is solved.

Next, Victor took Zero on a brief tour of the renovated laboratory. When he came to the culture area, Zero saw that the culture tank had been placed and was being disinfected and cleaned. This is the core area of the entire laboratory, where Leah's blood is isolated and released with various genetic information, and then combined and output, and finally reborn in the culture tank.

The new era of cloning jishu is already very advanced, and as long as the genetic sample is kept, it is possible to construct a clone that is indistinguishable from the original. And the biochemical jishu of Valhalla and the Dark Council can even clone the ability. The cloned ones are completely indistinguishable in terms of xìng personality, constitution, and ability, so they are also regarded as another way of eternal life.

It's just that this kind of highest-level clone jishu costs a lot of money, so only those at the masterbrain level are qualified to leave their own genetic backups in case they need it.

Naturally, this laboratory can't do the highest level of cloning jishu, but just cloning an ordinary girl like Leah can still do it.

His hand gently stroked the cold cultivation tank isolation cover, and Zero secretly said in his heart: Leah, you will wake up soon.

"Take your hands off the hood for me!"

Unexpectedly, a loud scream sounded behind Zero, and the voice was quite familiar. Zero turned around, but saw Eva in overalls. The dangerous woman was biting a ballpoint pen and holding a folder in her hand. She walked in quickly, slapped Zero's hand away, and said, "Don't delay our work, you layman, if it's okay, please leave." ”

Eva violently blasted Zero and Victor out of the training area, and after sweeping the two out of the area entrance, she loudly ordered the staff to adjust the various instruments. That imposing appearance is as if the training area is her home field.

"This Miss Eva said she was your friend, and I talked to her, and her attainments in biochemical jishu are truly extraordinary, and there are many ideas that I never thought of. So I invited her to join in, and she ......" Victor asked, looking at Zero.

"She is indeed my friend. ”

Zero's affirmative answer made Victor nod reassuringly, but he didn't see the wry smile on Zero's face. Eva is indeed his friend, but the one who is zeroed into trouble, and the highest level of big trouble.

By the time I left the lab, Asgard's holographic board was already reflecting the red glow of the evening. After saying goodbye to Victor, Zero drove away. The rebirth of Jihua has been carried out step by step, and all Zero has to do now is to make money. In the rearview mirror, the laboratory is only a vague shadow of yīn in the simulated sunset, but there is zero hope in that place.

What Zero didn't know was that this small laboratory was the prototype of the science and technology institute responsible for biochemical research in his future kingdom territory!

When I was lying on the bed in my dormitory, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Zero was dressed in plain white pajamas and lay flat in a relaxed position. The so-called relaxation is to allow 70% of the body's senses to enter a state of rest to make up for the loss caused by long-term tension. This relaxation is a very luxurious thing for Zero, remembering the rìzi who used to live in the wilderness, even in the safety of the base, where Zero's body is resting and the senses are still at work to monitor those sudden dangers.

While resting, he closed his eyes and silently calculated the evolution points he had gained since this period. The data flowed like water, and the remaining senses continued to work, and then quickly came up with a number for him: 51.

51 evolution points, which is the result of zero accumulation in battles since the promotion to the present. Among them, the leapfrogging and killing of the sixth-order ability of Gunabel will bring a full 13 evolution points!

You must know that Zero attacked and killed so many alien creatures under the military base of the Cossacks to get 20 evolution points, and in Parkland's territory, taking away the xìng life of the ability Dalton with one shot, it only brought him 4 evolution points, which shows how rich the benefits of killing enemies at the next level are. It's just that profits often come with risk, and Zero doesn't want to do that anymore if it's not necessary.

After all, evolution points can be obtained in a near-infinite way. However, there is only one life for zero.

In the middle of his thoughts, the evolution points were zero-invested in strengthening his ability one by one. Each enhancement of a Rank Ability requires different Evolution Points, and it takes 4 Evolution Points to upgrade from the first tier to the second tier. And every time you advance to a level, it will be directly doubled, which is not as cheap as improving your basic ability.

51 evolution points seemed like a lot, but when Zero's four advancement abilities were all upgraded to the second order, he only had 7 evolution points left. This is also the reason why he had previously raised the "Hurricane Shè Strike" to the second order, otherwise there would be even fewer evolution points left.

But in any case, the increase in capacity has brought a direct benefit to Zero. For example, the limit of multiple shè strokes has been increased from 3 to 4, and the jīng god mark has been expanded from 300 meters to 500 meters. The magnitude of the improvement does not seem to be there, but in actual combat, no matter how small the improvement is, it often plays a decisive role.

And when Zero has raised all his promotion abilities to the fourth order, he will usher in the evolution node that Valkyrie said. At that time, without the help of the debugging machine, Zero's gene will also deduce high-level classes and corresponding abilities according to the planned haode sequence.

Zero's current profession is the Shadow Wanderer, and according to the Evolutionary Tree, when he meets the prerequisites required for evolution, he will be able to evolve the high-level profession of Yīn Shadow Wanderer. Yīn Shadow Wanderer is based on the special xìng of strengthening the popular shè hand, and then evolved a high-level class with a certain space stealth and hiding ability, which is a qualitative leap, zero expectations.

But right now, all Zero needs to do is rest. Then enter the headquarters the next morning to pick up the mission, get paid, and strengthen yourself through battle. There are no shortcuts to evolution, just enough potential, talent, and hard work.

Sleep, a way of resting, is already a pronoun for a low-level life for those who are capable. For the average person, sleep can make up for the day's jīng deity and energy consumption. But for those who are able, there are many ways to replenish energy. When the energy reaches a certain level, the ability can count the number of sleepless until the energy level drops, and then the energy of the body will be restored through the low-level means of resting.

However, this method of recovery is very rudimentary and slow, and even for low-level abilities, after sleeping for seven hours, the energy recovered is less than 20% of the total energy. For those with high-level abilities, the energy that can be restored by sleep is even lower.

However, for Zero, sleep is more of a habit, and at the same time, Zero still feels that he is a human being. Although, from another point of view, the capable have been detached from the category of human beings.

The duration of the slumber can be very long or short. When consciousness is wrapped in darkness, time loses its meaning. But Zero set a seven-hour sleep time for his biological clock before going to bed, so when the biological clock counted down to zero, he opened his eyes and saw the hazy sky outside the window.

Zero stretched out on the bed, which was supposed to help the body wake up. But now, this action means more to Zero than it actually does. At the same time as he woke up, the nerve center had sent out a large amount of data to transmit to the nerve endings of the body, and after less than 1 second of synchronization and coordination, Zero's body had entered the optimal state of activity, without the assistance of other movements.

It's just that Zero enjoys this action very much, after all, this action is only enjoyed by ordinary people.

He jumped out of bed, did a brief grooming, and changed into his brand new uniform. When the standard Doomhammer uniform is put on, a handsome and tall figure is reflected in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. And against the backdrop of this black sè uniform, the zero in the mirror, the golden light in the right eye is even more dazzling.

It's just that Zero doesn't like to be too special, so he pulls open the drawer and puts on the blindfold he had prepared for himself in the morning, covering the special pupil.

After doing all this, Zero left the dorm. And his destination was the headquarters office building.

At eight o'clock in the morning, when Zero and Feng arrived at the headquarters office building, the building had just opened. In the task hall on the first floor, the electronic board began to work, and the tasks were published on the electronic board one by one to facilitate screening.

The headquarters office building in Asgard replaces the union hall that is common in the wilderness city. Here you can register the adventurer's team, pick up quests, complete deliveries, and more. Above the third floor is an office area that ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Asgartri, the adventurer squad registered at the headquarters is composed of soldiers from the military system, and some of them are made up of capable people from the civilian population. It's just that this part of the ability can't be compared with the squad from the military system in terms of quality and strength, especially the Hammer of Destruction, which was originally composed in the form of a squad, is a frequent visitor to the headquarters building.

Among the five legions, the soldiers of the Hammer of Doom have a higher degree of zìyóu. In non-war periods, soldiers do not have to undergo regular training, but are able to take on tasks in the headquarters. zìyóu, is a member privilege of every warrior level. And the higher the rank, the greater the zìyóu degree.

Zero and Feng came to the headquarters early in the morning, naturally to take on tasks and make money. It's just that because there is no mission record, the team's level evaluation is currently the lowest E-level, so the tasks that meet the viewing conditions are all tasks with low difficulty and low income, and the two of them are not interested. Just as the two of them were about to take over all the E-class tasks, a uniformed office worker appeared in front of them.

"Two gentlemen, may I ask who of you is Zero?" It was a beautiful woman with long blond hair. Her long hair was tied together by her to create a dignified hairstyle. And even in the uniform field of the hardboard, the ground does not prevent her heroic peaks and straight buttocks from attracting the fiery gaze of the male xìng creatures.

Hearing that he had been named, he took a step forward and identified himself. The woman's expression did not change at all, and she just said lightly: "Please come with me, Chief Cario is waiting for you in the strategy room." ”

Hearing Cario, Zero's eyes lit up. However, he also wondered how Cario, a recruit instructor, could appear in the headquarters.

Leaving Kaede in the lobby, Zero followed the office girl all the way to the elevator for the building's staff. The elevator can accommodate fifteen people at a time, but now there are only two people in Zero and Blonde. I don't know whether it was intentional or not, the office girl stood straight in front of Zero. And she stands relatively close, her height is not lower than Zero, and when she stands like this, her straight buttocks always hit Zero's body intentionally or unintentionally.

When the elevator doors opened, the brief "sāo disturbance" came to an end. The girl led Zero to the door of an office, and as she left, she whispered to Zero, "I'm free for the evening." ”

No matter how stupid a person is, he can hear the meaning of this sentence, and of course Zero understands it. In fact, the uniform of the Hammer of Doom on his body is already a status symbol, and the warrior class is already at the level of the middle and lower reaches of the power class in Asgard, and if an ordinary woman can hook up with a man with zero status, it is tantamount to finding a more Haode home for herself. Especially Zero is still so young, so it fully meets the requirements and image of her husband in the woman's mind.

Zero smiled, but didn't take this low-hanging fruit to heart. Compared to this encounter, Zero believes that Kaede is more interested.

He pushed open the oak door to his office, and saw Cario standing by the window with his back to him. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cario turned around, and a smile cracked into his face, still muttering a cigar, and said, "You're here, a little slower than I expected, it seems that the little golden cat doesn't want to let you go." ”
