Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Don't worry," Ye Ge said leisurely. "Now that I've joined you, of course I'll share the benefits with you. Why would I betray the company if there's something to gain?"

After speaking, Ye Ge picked up the pen on the table, removed the cap, and signed her name on the agreement with flowing strokes.

Then, press your fingerprint next to your name.

Ye Ge thought to himself, 'So what if I lose a level? It's just an avatar anyway. If I drop to the Yellow Realm, I'll just possess another one...'

Clearly, this mutually restrictive agreement was as good as nothing to him.

He then pushed the signed agreement to the middle-aged man: "Here."

The middle-aged man picked up the agreement, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Karl next to him so that he could also check it carefully.

"What, are you afraid I'm up to something?" Ye Ge smiled.

"It's just normal procedure." After confirming there were no problems, the middle-aged man extended his hand: "Welcome to the gene company."

Ye Ge also reached out and shook his hand, then said, "Hey, we're on the same side now, right?"

“Of course,” the middle-aged man said.

"That's great! After being in this world for so long, I've finally found my tribe!" Ye Ge said. "By the way, I heard that our company has some kind of data experience pool that can help people directly increase their extraordinary level? How about I get 1000 million experience points first and help me reach the Soul Emperor realm?"

Middle-aged man: "......"

......

The middle-aged man and Karl accompanied Ye Ge on a brief tour of the company.

Along the way, we also saw many soldiers patrolling the corridors, wearing bio-armor.

The bio-armor worn by these people was clearly different in style from the two mecha soldiers at the gate. Ye Ge had seen those mecha soldiers at the gate in the game; they were standard soldiers of the demi-human race.

These soldiers wearing bio-armor are clearly not units that have appeared in the game.

and......

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes.

He could sense an ancient power emanating from all of these soldiers...

These warriors' bodies were completely encased in some kind of living tissue, and the surface of their armor was covered with scale-like protrusions resembling those of ancient reptiles. When the light in the passage swept across them, dark gold patterns would flow along the gaps between the armor plates, like liquid metal surging in blood vessels.

The exposed facial skin has also undergone a complete transformation, with layers of keratinized epidermis stacked up, and biological armor extending from behind the ears pulsating like a living thing, enveloping the carotid artery under a dark red membrane.

These biotech armors covering the skin are essentially a second layer of bone that has multiplied from flesh and blood, combining biological and high-tech features. The spiked armor that bulges along the spine clearly bears the genetic characteristics of some ancient creature.

Ye Ge remained silent, using the system to scan the entire body structure of these soldiers.

"Could all of these soldiers be...?" Ye Ge pondered.

“You guessed right,” the middle-aged man replied calmly. “They are all genetically modified individuals who have had ancient biological cells implanted in them.”

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "All of them?"

"Yes," the middle-aged man said calmly, "Now that you're one of us, there are some things I can tell you."

"Our gene company is a biotechnology company. We collect the genetic material of ancient creatures, replicate their ancient cells, and implant these cells into these experimental subjects to create genetic mutants. This allows them to gain ancient power while combining it with the advanced technology of demi-humans to create such biotechnology armor."

Ye Ge paused for a moment: "So, Lin Ye, Wei Shitian, Zhu Yu, and the others also have their own bio-armor?"

"Of course, and they are special." The middle-aged man said, "These bio-armored soldiers are just ordinary soldiers. They cannot freely switch between bio-armor mode and human form mode, and their talents are insufficient, so they cannot truly unleash the power of ancient cells. In fact, when they use their power, the ancient cells will gradually devour their lifespan."

"The company has conducted numerous experiments. On average, out of ten thousand superhumans, less than one person can withstand ancient cells, and even then, they can only barely withstand them, just like these ordinary soldiers. The amount of ancient biological power they can unleash is less than 0.1%."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "But as a player, you should know that in that era when spiritual energy was excessively abundant, even 0.1% of the power of ancient creatures would be a formidable fighting force in this era."

Ye Ge glanced at him and asked, "What about Lin Ye and the others?"

“Warriors with better talent can unleash 0.5%-1% of the ancient power,” the middle-aged man said. “As for Lin Ye, Zhu Yu, Wei Shitian, and the others, they are among the most talented of the extremely talented. They are descendants of the ancient race and are all genetic mutants who have broken through the triple bloodline barrier. They have a strong adaptability to any foreign transplanted cells, so they can unleash about 5%-30% of their power.”

The middle-aged man looked at him again: "You fought with them before, so you probably thought that since you, a Saint Realm cultivator, could fight them to a standstill, their strength was nothing special."

“I don’t think so,” Ye Ge shrugged.

After all, he was only able to hold on thanks to a bunch of cheat codes and a demigod-level magic sword.

“They haven’t used their full strength,” the middle-aged man said. “Because I gave orders that the bio-tech armor is currently one of the company’s top secrets. It is not yet fully developed and there are still many loopholes. Moreover, if the Light Alliance and the Temple of the High Priests keep an eye on us and find out that we are secretly researching such technology, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble. So at the moment, we must not show their bio-armor to outsiders, not even if it means death.”

"The Light Alliance?" Nightsong raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you the president of the Light Alliance yourself?"

"I am indeed the president," the middle-aged man said coldly. "But in reality, the Light Alliance was put into this position by the Five Elements Gods in order to supervise our gene company. There are quite a few spies in the Light Alliance who are responsible for monitoring me."

Ye Ge nodded: "I see."

"So this is why the company collects genes from ancient legendary creatures? Just to create these genetically mutated humans?"

“That’s right,” the middle-aged man said. “The more ancient genes we collect, the more thorough our research will be, and the more powerful the ancient cells will be.”

He slowly raised his arms: "Imagine if we had 100,000 warriors in ancient bio-technological armor, what race in this world could stop us?"

"If we had a million such warriors, it would be an easy task for the company to wage war against all races on its own."

"If we have ten million warriors like this, and then perfectly decipher and develop the ancient power of the Four Fiends and Four Saints, then even the gods will not frighten our company!"
