34 Bloodline Catalog

"Slap!"

In the office of the Abyssal Knight Division's left flank commander in Panshi Church, a vial of grey ashes was slapped on the table.

Tony, who had just returned from the White Stone Village, put his hands on the edge of the table, leaned forward, and stared at Commander Robin across him as he said angrily, "The Mission Department rated a mission with a demon at Awakened Level 20 two stars. Are their brains full of sh*t? The two of us are gifted. If it was anyone else, you'd have to collect bodies!"

The commander, who had an ordinary figure and appearance and a goatee, took the glass bottle containing Freddy's ashes and examined it. He then said in surprise, "Oh! It's really a Level-20 demon. Did the two of you kill it? Xin Qi didn't do a thing?"

"Of course. Xin… Our captain didn't come along!"

"So it was indeed difficult on you guys. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Upgrade the mission to at least four stars!"

"That's not possible. I'll upgrade it to three stars at most!"

Robin threw down the bottle of ashes and leaned back against the large suede chair.

Tony, who was displeased, answered, "Two newcomers lower than Level 10 risked their lives to kill a Level-20 demon, yet you're actually giving us such a low reward?"

"Just be content. This mission was for the Long Song Team, not you guys. It's your problem if Xin Qi didn't go."

Robin curled his lips and said with a sneer, "An elite team with a Level-45 captain killed a mere Level-20 demon, and you have the nerve to want credit and sympathy for that?"

Tony was speechless.

When he heard that, he was truly speechless.

"Alright then. Upgrade it to three stars. Thank you, sir." Chen Gou stepped forward to resolve the dispute and thanked him. Since Tony was done being the bad guy, it was time for him to play the good guy.

"That's right, young lad. Go to the Mission Department. Don't stand here. I feel vexed seeing a blonde member of the Arslan Family. You're making me look like I have a pea for a brain!"

Robin waved his hand as though he was chasing away a housefly.

Upon seeing that Tony still wanted to retort, Chen Gou quickly pulled him outside.

"Commander Robin is famous for covering things up. He would never punish a knight under his command unless they committed a huge mistake pertaining to principles. I heard that the previous captain cursed him on the spot, but he didn't even do anything."

As soon as Tony was out, the anger on his face subsided and he became another person. He was clearly treating Robin according to his status and had put on an act for him.

The two of them arrived at the Mission Department of the Panshi Division of the Covenant and upgraded the mission to three stars.

The rewarded Merit Points increased from 150 to 500.

There didn't seem to be much difference between two-star and three-star missions, but they were missions assigned to Bronze Teams and Silver Teams respectively.

After taking care of this, Chen Gou and Tony did not leave immediately. They instead stayed behind to check the magical catalog of items that could be exchanged with Merit Points.

Chen Gou flipped over to the page on the bloodline potion.

He had now reached Level 8 and could reach Level 10 in two or three months if nothing went wrong. Then, he would need the bloodline potion to activate his magic attributes.

The Arslan Family had its own bloodline, so they did not need the bloodline potion.

However, like most people, Chen Gou did not have a natural bloodline and hence needed to prepare it beforehand.

"Bloodline of Netherworld's Meng Po. Magic Attribute: Death. Additional Skill: Meng Po's Soup—Forced to retain 1 HP during a death crisis and temporarily forget all skills. However, the three primary attributes will increase by 200%. Lasts for 10 minutes, and cooldown is six days. 10,000 Merit Points required for an exchange!"

"Bloodline of Abyssal Hell's Enslavement Demon General. Magic Attribute: Dark. Additional Skill: Demon Enslavement—Causes passive pressure on all magical creatures with Dark as their main attribute and has a certain chance of directly enslaving them based on both parties' levels. 8,000 Merit Points required for an exchange!"

"Bloodline of Vajra Beast. Magic Attribute: Earth. Additional Skill: Vajra Body—When enraged by an attack, the body will passively expand and HP and Strength will increase as well. 7,000 Merit Points required for an exchange!"

…

Chen Gou was speechless as he looked at this.

The topmost bloodline potion was extremely strong, which was obvious just by looking at its name.

However, it shockingly cost 10,000 Merit Points. Chen Gou had to kill Freddy more than 30 times with Tony to obtain this number of points.

He couldn't even fail once during those 30 times, or he would lose his life!

Unless he got rich or sold his body, Chen Gou wouldn't be able to obtain so many Merit Points within a few months.

He couldn't sell his body right away even if he wanted to.

He had to admit that he looked average and was barely clean and pleasant-looking.

He served as a deep contrast to Tony.

"Bloodline of the Deathwalker Vampire. Magic Attribute: Blood. Additional Skill: Moonlit Night Wings—Condenses a bunch of bat wings by using magic and increases Agility and Speed. 2,000 Merit Points required for an exchange."

"Bloodline of T-Virus. Magic Attributes: Plague and Blood. Additional Skill: Potential Activation—Permanent increase of base Strength, Agility, Intelligence, and HP and recovery by 5 to 20 points. 1,500 Merit Points required for an exchange. However, this bloodline potion has toxic side effects. It may cause plague outbreaks, and you might turn into an irrational zombie. Exchange of additional support potions required…"

…

Chen Gou flipped to the last few pages and checked what he could exchange within a short time.

The quality of the bloodline potion dropped drastically alongside the price.

To be honest, Chen Gou was naturally reluctant to exchange anything for average goods like the bloodline of the Deathwalker Vampire.

When he saw the bloodline of the T-Virus, he was surprised at once.

According to the catalog, this was one of the few bloodline potions that were not refined by a potion master of the Covenant but were obtained directly from the Abyssal World.

It was actually the T-Virus reagent in Resident Evil, but it fell in the same category as the bloodline potion.

Based on this, it was evident that the bloodline potion was just a general term that included all the magical artifacts that could help Awakeners change their genes and activate the corresponding bloodline.

The virus was also one of them, although it was a little different and dangerous.

Gradually, many thoughts ran through Chen Gou's mind.

How did the T-Virus come about? James Marcus, one of the three patriarchs of the Umbrella Corporation, combined the mysterious and ancient Progenitor Virus, which he had discovered early, and the fragments of leech genes. He obtained a new virus through the final isolation.

Since it contains genetic fragments of a leech, a human or zombie that has been modified by this virus will inherit the characteristics of an accelerated metabolism, bloodlust, and recovery.

Other than that, the Progenitor Virus has also given rise to several T-Virus-like branches depending on the genetic fragments of the fused organisms, which proves that the Progenitor Virus has extremely strong flexibility and can unearth the hidden advantages of the target organism's genes…"

At that thought, the image of the red bloodworm surfaced in his mind.

Since the Progenitor Virus combined with the leech genes could give rise to the T-Virus, what kind of virus would be created by the combination of the Progenitor Virus and the bloodworm gene that was similar to the leeches but much stronger?

To be specific, the red progenitor bloodworm, which was born from the remains of an angel and contained pure angel genes!
