Evolution game, nothing more than that!

Yi Shen and Yamasaki Xing looked at each other and saw the same thought in each other's eyes.

"Of course we have no objection. It's just a teammate spot. She's your cousin. Since she has your approval, her character should be trustworthy. It's no problem for her to join us."

Yi Shen smiled and said:

"Of course, you have to make her think carefully. We are already quite powerful now, and the missions we may face in the future will definitely be difficult, at least for a newcomer. If she really joins the team, she will still face danger, and it may be much more dangerous than not joining the team!"

"It doesn't matter. If I were alone, even what you consider a 'small danger' could cost me my life at any time. But by your side, with your protection and help, even if it's a more terrifying danger, my chances of survival will be much higher."

This was Toyohama and Hana's answer.

Looking at her serious expression, Yi Shen knew that she was prepared.

So, that was settled.

There is no need to elaborate on the process of signing the team contract. In short, after some operations, a teammate icon appeared on the game panel of Yi Shen and the other two. Fenghama and Hua also officially joined the team and became their strong supporter.

"Okay, now that you've become our teammate, let's talk about the benefits of joining the team!"

Yi Shen clapped his hands and said this.

"Eh? Team benefits? Do we have such things?"

Yamasaki An was a little slow to react.

"Why not? Isn't that the blessing I bestowed upon you?"

Yi Shen smiled and said:

"Besides the blessings, we actually have quite a few good things on hand right now, like weapons and armor made with Transformation Units, the genetic implants I just mastered, and even ready-made enhancement cards. By the way, Kazuka-chan, is it okay to call you that? What were the rewards you received from the Rookie Trial? I need to see if these enhancements will conflict with what you already have."

"Huh? Ah... My newbie reward is this."

She pulled a coin from the pocket of her skirt.

"This is……"

Yi Shen and the other two took a closer look and saw that the front of the Dharma coin had a portrait of an unknown person printed on it, and the back had the two letters "EX".

Reach out and touch it, and its description will be displayed on the game panel:

[Resurrection Coin: Players holding this item will be resurrected in the rest area after dying in the Evolution Game, but will not receive the rewards for this mission. After use, the item will disappear.]

"Resurrection Coins?! Is there such a reward in the evolution game?"

Yamasaki An couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is probably related to the novice trial mission with flowers."

Sakurajima Mai said, her tone not quite certain:

"She told me that her novice trial is 'Escape from the Island of Clones.' All new players are clones, and only those who escape the cloning base are considered to have successfully passed the trial. Looking at this resurrection coin now, it seems to symbolize her identity as an organ-cultivated clone in the mission world. It's another life for everyone else, now reflected back to her in the form of a resurrection coin."

"A reasonable guess."

Yi Shen nodded and commented.

Then he looked at Toyohama and Hana and said:

"It seems that even without us, the probability of you surviving this mission is 100%!"

Upon hearing this, the blonde idol girl smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said:

"Having an extra life might seem like a good thing, but if I actually die on a mission, I won't get any rewards after resurrection. On the next mission, if I encounter dangers beyond my capabilities, I'll still die. Having this coin is just the difference between dying sooner or later for me. Compared to that, I'd rather the evolution game give me something that directly increases my combat effectiveness."

"Too."

Yi Shen nodded and agreed:

"Resurrection without strength as a foundation can only postpone death. However, this is still a very important trump card. Keep it carefully and don't lose it. If you wish, I can help you implant it into your body so that it will never be lost."

Chapter 242 Choice

When Feng Bang and Hua heard Yi Shen say that it would be implanted into the body, they didn't quite understand at first.

But when she was told that they would cut open her skin and muscles and stuff the coin into her flesh, the girl's face turned pale and she shook her head, saying that it was fine to just put it in her pocket and there was no need to be so extreme.

"Really? It's okay. I have healing skills. Even if I cut flesh, I can heal it in seconds without leaving any scars. Look, I did it myself."

Yi Shen slightly opened the collar of his clothes, revealing his chest. The Eye of God embedded in his sternum began to glow under his control. The purple light shone through the thick muscles, letting Feng Bang and Hua know that what he said was not a lie.

However, Feng Bang and Hua Tou shook their heads even faster, and even began to regret whether they had been too hasty in joining this team - this guy, whom his sister called "Yi Jun", was obviously not mentally normal!

"Alright, alright, don't scare her anymore, Yi-jun!"

Sakurajima Mai pushed Yi Shen and rolled her eyes at him:

"Hehua, don't be afraid. This guy just relies on his immortality to mess around. But he's right about one thing. This resurrection coin is very important. You must keep it safe and don't lose it!"

“…Yes, I understand.”

Toyohama and Hana calmed down a bit and nodded.

Seeing that his teammates were very opposed to this practice of hiding flesh and blood, Yi Shen had no choice but to give up.

After thinking for a moment, he pulled out a Transformer Cube from his backpack, programmed it briefly, and then transformed it into a metal ring and handed it to the blonde girl.

"Since you don't want to implant it in your body, then put it in this."

"Is this... a collar?"

Feng Bang He Hua took the metal ring hesitantly, looked at his sister, and then looked at Yi Shen.

Which boy would give something like this to a girl when they meet?

Is this guy really okay?

Seeing this, Yi Shen had no choice but to explain:

"This is a shield generator. Besides being able to defend against ordinary light weapons attacks, it also has a certain degree of deformation. You can place a resurrection coin on it, and it will hide the coin inside. When you wear it again, it's hard to lose the coin. As for why it's made this way... if it were a bracelet, the resurrection coin would still leave your body if your hand was cut off. But a collar worn around the neck generally can't be removed unless your head is chopped off. If you are beheaded, the resurrection coin will naturally take effect, so it doesn't matter whether it is lost or not."

Hearing him say this, Fenghama and Hana were speechless for a while.

Although it seems unlucky to talk about broken hands and heads, what the other party said does make sense.

Since you refuse to put the coin into your body, then putting it in a collar and wearing it around your neck is indeed the best solution.

Moreover, this thing is not just a container for things, it is also a shield generator. Is it the energy shield like in the movies?

Fenghama and Hua thought about this and suddenly felt that although this "Yi Jun" was a little weird, he didn't seem to be a bad person.

Under Yi Shen's guidance, the girl placed the coin on the collar. Sure enough, she saw the metal of the collar flow like liquid, swallowing the coin.

Then she put it around her neck without having to unfasten the buckle or anything. The collar automatically melted into a long snake like mercury, which wrapped around her neck for a week and then solidified again. The place where the resurrection coin was hidden was right in the middle of her neck, revealing a circular mark.

"Okay, now that we've solved the resurrection coin issue, let's move on to discussing the team benefits! Blessings, genetic enhancements, or skill cards? Which one do you choose? Or maybe all of them?"

Yi Shen clapped his hands and continued the previous topic.

"Eh? Isn't this collar a member of the team's benefits? And more?"

Fenghama and Hua were a little surprised. This was too generous!

Could it be that this man has some intention towards her?

"Where are you going!"

Yi Shen didn't know what the girl was thinking, so he smiled and said:

"The shield generator only gives you the most basic self-protection capabilities, but it's far from enough to keep up with the intensity of our mission! No matter what, you must gain extraordinary combat power as quickly as possible."

Fenghama and Hana nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

Yes, the gap in strength between me and my sisters is too big. If I don't become stronger quickly, I will only become a burden to them and hold them back.

Thinking of this, she let down her guard and began to think seriously about what kind of "team benefits" she needed.

Of course, before that—

"Can you tell me what these so-called 'blessings' and 'genetic enhancements' actually mean?"

"Blessing refers to a blessing ritual I master. With about a week's preparation time, I can add a customized permanent buff to you. For example, your strength will be doubled in sunlight, or your affinity for a certain energy will be enhanced."

Yi Shen explained:

"As for genetic enhancement, it's a new technology I've recently mastered. It can implant a 'longevity gene' and a matching 'physical strengthening gene' into you. Not only will you gain immortality, but your physical fitness will also be greatly enhanced. Furthermore, by continuously absorbing beneficial genes from foreign pathogens, your body will continue to evolve and grow stronger."

When hearing the introduction of the blessing, Fenghama and Hua were quite interested. A permanent buff blessed by magic, isn't this similar to the blessing of God obtained by the heroes in myths and legends?

This "Yi Jun" can actually help others impose this kind of thing?

Can it even be customized?

The team my sister is in is a little too strong!

However, after hearing the following introduction about "genetic enhancement", her attention was immediately diverted.

What did she hear?

Longevity gene?

Can it make people immortal and stay young forever?

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

Girls, who wouldn’t like something that can keep them young forever?

It was this genetic implant that made her hesitate.

After all, she couldn't even accept cutting open her flesh and stuffing something into her body. This would directly attack the most fundamental genes of her body... She really didn't dare to make such a decision lightly.

Especially since this technology was actually developed by Yi Jun himself, how reliable is it?

With such doubts, she decided to play it safe and ask about the last option:

"What about the skill card? What skill is it?"

"Skill Card..."

Yi Shen took out the [Psychic] card that he thought he would never use and showed it to the other party:

"This is a loot we obtained from another player. The skill itself is quite powerful, both in terms of versatility and its upper limit is quite high, but it also carries risks. Whether or not to use it requires careful consideration."

Chapter 243 Genetic Modification: Second Case

Faced with the three options given by Yi Shen, Feng Bang and Hua finally made a decision.

She chose to receive genetic implantation and blessing enhancement.

Although compared to these two self-developed methods, the [Psychic] skill card endorsed by the Evolution Game seems to be more reliable and brings greater power, Fenghama Hehua is also a very self-aware girl. She does not think that as a newcomer to the team, she is qualified to enjoy this extremely valuable strategic material.

Even if she wants to use it, she has to wait until she has made contributions and achievements in the team, and is worthy of the value of this skill card, before she can obtain the right to use it!

"Are you sure you want these two?"

"I am sure!"

Faced with Yi Shen's repeated confirmation, Feng Bang and Hua nodded seriously with a very firm attitude.

“Very good, a good choice.”

Yi Shen said this and nodded.

He could vaguely sense what the other person was thinking. Didn't he want to accept such an expensive favor for nothing? He didn't dislike this pride and self-esteem.

"In that case, let's find a quiet place and start the strengthening surgery."

As he said this, he turned his gaze towards Yamasaki An:

"Xing, I leave it to you."

"clear."

Yamasaki An nodded, and under the slightly puzzled gazes of Fenghama and Hana, she waved her hand and a mirror condensed on the outer wall of the building next to her.

"Let's go. There are no outsiders disturbing us in the Mirror Realm. It's the safest place in the world."

Yamasaki An smiled and said, taking the lead and walking into the mirror.

"..."

Fenghama and Hana were stunned for a moment.

Although she knew that as experienced gamers, they must have powers beyond her imagination, this kind of real "magic" was the first time she had seen it.
