The team of 5 was heading towards the deep forest to occupy a good strategic position and gain an advantage in the game. As they were moving forward carrying their pellet guns on their shoulders along with a rag full of necessities, the twigs and dried leaves that were lying on the path were crushed upon.
Alexander wasn't particularly in a good mood, combined with the effect of the particular feeling he was getting from cold Isabella, another dread feeling was disturbing him.
During the time he and Jacob were in the training ground along with the crowd, he saw Ryan Reed! Based on his character, Alexander was sure that he would have collected all of the information about him, due to his recent closeness with Hazel and will try to make some move on him.
"Sigh… Beauties really bring calamities." He exhaled a mouthful of air, not knowing how to handle the approaching calamity.
He was here to collect some precious herbs that can help him out in future, but due to this unpredictable factor like Ryan Reed, he can't slack off even in slightest, towards his security and safety.
[ You haven't summoned me during past few days. ] While he was moving forwards, taking care of his surroundings, A system notification suddenly sounded inside his brain. If not for this type of sudden notification and reminders, he would have long forgotten that he possesses a super cheat.
'Too busy' he casually replied while his eyes scanned through the surroundings trying to find some good things in the forest. As he was behind everyone in the group, no one noticed him scanning through the surrounding area with visible interest in his eyes.
[ Reminder: 20 locked gene points will be expiring in 3 days. ] Another notification came.
"Holy Sheit!! Only 3 days left?!" When Alexander heard this, he suddenly shouted out loud, attracting the attention of everyone ahead of him. They all turned back and stared at him weirdly.
"Haha… It's nothing. I just thought of something." Seeing everyone looking at him. He made an embarrassed laugh, trying to shake off everyone's attention.
Everyone turned forward again as this game was more important, but while reverting back their gazes, Isabella mumbled something, as if she was cursing him for his foolish behaviour.
When everyone's attention was gone, he again messaged the system, 'How can I utilise them, before they expire? And first of all, why the hell are they expiring? Isn't that something I earned after completing the mission?'
[ Two ways to use locked gene points. ] Systems mechanical voice appeared, but as if purposefully ignoring him, it didn't even mention his second question.
'ugh…' Alexander was irritated by this dominating behaviour of the system, but he didn't dare to say anything about it. All he could do was to endure and go with the ongoing flow, 'What are the two ways?'
[1st: Strengthen your body to be able to withstand the power of gene unlocking. ]
'That… I am working on it, but I doubt that I'll be able to achieve that in the next 3 days. Continue with the second way.' Although he was here to collect herbs for body strengthening, his medicine wasn't something that is already well established and tested. He created this medicine on his own by the virtue of his knowledge and skills. But, everything in theory and practicality don't necessarily match up.
[2nd: Mate with someone and pass on these genes to your successor. ]
"Fck! Should I go to mate with someone randomly?" Another shout from Alexander, and this time everyone turned back with a rapid speed and looked at him, as if they were looking at a crazy pervert.
Why crazy and perverted? Then, who the hell suddenly shouts about mating, if not someone crazy and perverted?
Isabella looked at him with a disgust in her eyes and mumbled, "Are juniors these days always like this perverted crazy? I hope 'he' is still the same naive boy." Alexander's image in her eyes dropped by 100 points.
And now, Alexander was in a dilemma to solve this situation.
