Chapter 365: Chapter 304: Super Evolution: Genetic Weapon

’They announced it?!’

This was an outcome Gao Neng had never expected.

Because, according to his speculation, it was far more likely that the Federation Council would hide it. Besides, even if they didn’t, there was no way they’d use a public broadcast to announce it to everyone, right?

But now?

They had just gone and revealed all of his talents over the broadcast!

"Twenty talents at 100%?!" After freezing up, Yi Qinglian’s face flushed crimson. It dawned on her that she had just been showing off her own talents in front of Gao Neng.

’How embarrassing!’

She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Wow, Gao Neng, you actually have twenty talents at 100%! That’s incredible! Now I, Death God Fang Tangtang, can rest easy. With you charging at the front, my chances of staying safe just shot way up!" Fang Tangtang was also stunned for a moment after hearing the broadcast, but that was quickly followed by extreme excitement.

"Meow!" Gao Xiaomeng cried out.

"I’m charging at the front? Your chances of staying safe go up?" Gao Neng looked at Fang Tangtang. For some reason, her words made him want to spank her.

Meanwhile, Shen Ning’Er furrowed her brow slightly. She remembered the results Lan Ruosi had delivered. Weren’t there supposed to be 22 hidden talents at 100%?

But now they had only announced twenty?

’So they did hide the hydrogen and uranium talents, as expected?’

’But if they chose to hide those, why would they announce the other twenty?’

"Could it be... So that’s what this means," Shen Ning’Er quickly understood.

"What does what mean? Does it mean a genius like me is going to get beaten to death out of jealousy?" Gao Neng happened to hear Shen Ning’Er and asked casually.

"Beaten to death? What are you thinking? The members of the Federation Supreme Council may have their political disagreements, but overall, they present a united front against external threats. Who would beat you to death?" Shen Ning’Er glanced at Gao Neng.

"I won’t die? That’s a relief. What Dean Lan and Sister Xiaobing said earlier was terrifying, going on about ’big events’ and ’huge trouble’. So they were just trying to scare me!" Gao Neng let out a breath of relief.

"You won’t die, but... you might be turned into a specimen!" A strange expression appeared on Shen Ning’Er’s face.

"A specimen?!"

"That’s right, a living specimen. It’s awesome. You get to stay in a nutrient tank every day and get fed without having to move a muscle. Want to give it a try?" Shen Ning’Er blinked twice.

"Like hell I would!" A chill ran down Gao Neng’s spine. Then, his gaze inadvertently fell upon the smile playing on Fang Tangtang’s lips.

In an instant, he seemed to understand!

Lan Ruosi and Lan Xiaobing...

They hadn’t been joking with him!

This time, it seemed he had truly been pushed into the eye of the storm.

...

The broadcast wasn’t just limited to Research Center No. 1.

In the main research institute, the Dragon List Geniuses who had already completed their tests, including Shaximo, Wei Ya, and the others, also heard the announcement.

"Twenty talents maxed out at 100%?!"

"This... Gao Neng, you’ve got to be kidding, right?"

"It’s an official broadcast from the Federation Government, so it can’t be fake. But isn’t this a little too terrifying? No wonder he had to be tested separately!"

"When Shaximo was tested just now, how many talents did he have above 80%?"

"I think it was seven!"

A buzz of discussion erupted among the crowd.

Meanwhile, Shaximo, who was surrounded by a group of people, saw his expression change instantly.

’WTF!’

’You already went off somewhere else to be tested alone.’

’And now that you’re done, you have to come back and steal the spotlight?’

’Was that really necessary?!’

"Talents maxed out at 100%, and twenty of them?!" Shaximo was truly speechless. He thought the matter was over, but it seemed like it was just beginning.

...

Gao Neng’s twenty maxed-out talents had been publicly announced.

The reaction to this was far more intense than anyone could have imagined.

In just five short minutes, the news had already spread from the Federation Government Building and begun to circulate online.

Since the Federation Government had made it public, there was naturally no longer any secrecy involved.

Twenty talents at 100%.

This news was guaranteed to make the front-page headlines of any media outlet.

「A few minutes later.」

Reports of the latest news were already appearing online and on television. Some TV broadcasts were even interrupted mid-program.

Meanwhile, inside the Federation Government Building.

Wu Qingjing was just stepping out of the elevator and heading into his private office within the building.

It was a simply decorated office.

A reception room and a main office.

That was all.

KNOCK KNOCK!

Two soft knocks.

"Come in." Wu Qingjing had been packing his things, preparing to go downstairs, but upon hearing the knock, he sat back down.

"Speaker Wu, Councillor Liang is here to see you," a female secretary said as she entered.

"So soon? Hmm... let him in." Wu Qingjing frowned slightly but nodded anyway, tucking the file in his hand into his coat.

"Hahaha, congratulations, Speaker Wu! You’ve found yourself another treasure!" A hearty laugh came from outside, and then a tastefully dressed middle-aged man of about forty walked in.

"A treasure? Councillor Liang, you’re as humorous as ever." Wu Qingjing stood up.

"Wouldn’t it be a good thing if Speaker Wu could be a little more humorous himself?" Councillor Liang maintained his smile as he arrived in front of the desk.

"Have a seat." Wu Qingjing gestured to the chair in front of him.

"Mm." Councillor Liang sat down.

"I just got some new Dragon Well tea. Would you care for some, Councillor Liang?" As Wu Qingjing spoke, he began to boil water and opened a new package of tea leaves.

"Alright." Councillor Liang did not object, and waited patiently.
