Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day-Chapter 316 - 274: Countless Netizens Stunned

The basement space is limited; nine mechas are already the maximum.

Each of these things is three meters tall and weighs about ten tons, appearing like a colossal presence.

It’s quite normal that the basement can’t hold too many.

Lu Li had no choice but to move to the living room to continue assembling mechas.

Just as he began to expand the domain, before he could condense the mecha, the phone rang with a "ding-a-ling."

Lu Li used the domain to bring the phone placed on the coffee table over to him.

He first closed the domain before pressing the answer button.

As soon as he connected, Zhou Jinming’s voice came from the other side, "Hello, Mr. Lu, are you busy?"

Lu Li pulled up a chair and sat down, responding, "Not too bad."

Zhou Jinming said, "The task you assigned to me is completed, and it’s expected that tonight... hmm, it should be morning on your side, the news will spread and start fermenting. I can’t guarantee the exact effect right now, but I contacted many media outlets, and they are all very interested in this news, promising extensive coverage."

Lu Li blinked and said, "Not online media or something similar?"

Zhou Jinming chuckled, "Using hackers and the like isn’t ideal, as illegal activities can easily be traced back. I spent some money to have someone report directly to legitimate media, so there’s no worry about being traced back, and the publicity can be much greater."

Lu Li agreed, realizing that although online media is convenient, it is quickly "harmonized." The news may get hammered down before it ferments.

Legitimate media are different. With legal reporting qualifications, there’s no concern about the message not spreading.

Moreover, news media in Europe and America have substantial power when they report news.

Lu Li believed that if those media dared to report this news, the whole world would know in an instant.

Thinking this, he said, "Okay, you’ve worked hard on this. I’ll invite you for tea when I have time."

Zhou Jinming was flattered and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Li chuckled and said, "Why are you thanking me? It should be me thanking you for this."

After a little chit-chat, he hung up the phone.

Lu Li once again activated the domain and began to assemble the mecha.

A mecha quickly took shape, and he couldn’t help but pause, "Huh, why does it feel like the assembly speed has increased?"

Previously, Lu Li knew that assembling a hollow state mecha took thirty seconds, and a fully equipped state took one and a half minutes.

How much time did it take now to assemble an empty state mecha?

Only about twenty-five seconds!

"Oh, it must be the extra recovery at work again."

Lu Li mused, "I haven’t chosen to evolve any specific superpower individually right now, based on past experience, bodily attributes increase comprehensively, so if the extra recovery has greatly enhanced my recovery ability, then all aspects, including body constitution and others, should have been enhanced altogether."

He was too lazy to test physical fitness.

Testing this is troublesome.

There are no suitable testing devices.

Unless you specially order one from a manufacturer.

Lu Li wanted to test the domain, his current strongest method.

It’s also the strongest secret technique that elevated him from an "abilities user" to a "god-like" existence.

As he continued to assemble the mecha, he expanded the domain to its maximum to see the range it covered.

In the next moment, the domain suddenly expanded rapidly, extending from forty kilometers to a little over fifty-six kilometers but not yet fifty-seven.

Lu Li’s thoughts shifted, "The range indeed increased, so it can be deduced that the duration can also increase."

Increased duration means more mechas can be assembled within the limited time.

Lu Li no longer paid attention to the domain range.

Instead, he focused wholeheartedly on assembling the mecha.

While measuring how long the current domain could last.

The second mecha quickly took shape again.

The third mecha didn’t take much time either.

The fourth...

The seventh...

When assembling the seventh empty-state mecha.

Lu Li slightly opened his eyes in surprise, "Previously, at full strength, expending all my energy allowed me to assemble only six mechas, now I’ve assembled seven, and I still have some energy left?"

He assembled one more mecha, nearly depleting his internal energy.

At this moment, Lu Li sensed that although he still had a trace of energy left in his body, it was likely not enough to assemble another mecha.

But he didn’t turn off the domain and waited for the energy to deplete and shut it down automatically.

During this time, Lu Li kept calculating how long the domain lasted.

A moment later, the domain automatically shut down.

A sense of weakness surged within him.

Despite the fatigue, Lu Li’s expression was somewhat excited.

"My domain can now last for about three and a half minutes; calculating with twenty-five seconds to assemble one mecha, in a full-state energy depletion cycle, I can assemble eight point four mechas."

Mechas are complete entities, surely there’s no decimal point.

Lu Li gazed at the eight complete mechas before him, understanding why he had a bit of energy left over.

"At the current rate, I can assemble sixteen empty state mechas in one day."

Lu Li’s eyes glimmered, "The key is, I might continue to recover excessively, improving all my attributes comprehensively, so perhaps in five days, I could energize all fifty mechas to a full state!"

He was very satisfied with this, not just because he could assemble more mechas faster.

The most important thing is that the comprehensive enhancement of his physical attributes is equivalent to accelerating evolution!

"Also, my combat power will substantially increase alongside the full-body attribute enhancement."

Lu Li was truly ecstatic.

After figuring out what kind of boost "super energy recovery" would provide, he stopped thinking about it further.

Lu Li floated onto the sofa and curled up there to sleep.

He wanted to wait until his energy was restored before getting up to continue assembling the mecha.

Little did he know, while he was rapidly regaining energy in his sleep, people across the ocean had already been stunned awake by an earth-shaking piece of news.

...

Ugly Country, ten at night.

Fox Company is a broadcasting company headquartered in New York.

It provides news, sports, and entertainment programs to audiences across Ugly Country.

That night, Fox Company’s news website reported a piece of shocking news.

The news consisted of just one simple sentence and an accompanying image.

Content: According to reliable sources, in five days, the Ancestor will conduct an exercise in the Southern Asian Sea.

As for the accompanying image, it depicted the region around the Southern Asian Sea.

In international law, the high seas refer to parts of the ocean not under the sovereignty or control of any nation, outside inland waters, territorial seas, archipelagic waters, and exclusive economic zones of countries.

The high seas are available for equal use by all countries.

They are not part of the territory of any country.

Thus, they are not under the sovereignty of any nation.

No country may claim any part of the high seas as its own or exercise jurisdiction over them.

It is actually quite normal for someone to conduct exercises on the high seas.

But the abnormal part is the timing, and the people involved!

Thus, countless Ugly Country netizens who hadn’t had time to sleep were all shocked and sleepless after seeing this news!

"What?"

"Huh?"

"The Ancestor is going to the Southern Asian Sea in five days to conduct an exercise?"

"Oh my God, am I reading this news content correctly? Is this... is this news released by the Fox News website?"

"Unbelievable, the Ancestor chose this time point five days from now to conduct an exercise?"

"Oh my, something big might be happening!"

A group of Ugly Country netizens was in an uproar.

They truly couldn’t believe Fox would release such news.

Or rather, they couldn’t believe the contents of the news.

Why?

For what reason!

As mentioned earlier, who doesn’t know that something important was supposed to happen five days later?

And now, the Ancestor is choosing that time point?

Although the location is still quite far from the expected event,

it’s clear that this is a provocation!

For this reason, Ugly Country netizens were so shocked when they saw this news.

For a moment, many netizens thought the Fox News website had made a mistake.

"It must be fake, right?"

"No matter how bold the Ancestor is, they wouldn’t dare to do this at this exact time, right?"

"Yeah, I suspect Fox’s news website was hacked. How could the Ancestor conduct an exercise? He’s just a superhuman, what could he possibly showcase? Surely not some body blocking bullets trick we’ve seen before?"

"I also think it looks like fake news."

"Yeah, it’s highly likely fake news. What kind of website reports this at night with just one short sentence and a picture, as poorly cobbled together as a fabrication."

Netizens simply didn’t believe the Fox News website report.

You have no solid evidence source,

and only one short sentence.

Who the hell would believe it’s real?

Whether others believed it or not, I don’t know.

But at the time, the countless netizens who saw this news did not believe it.

Many people commented questioning the news below, then prepared to go to sleep.

Unexpectedly, something happened.

Within less than five minutes after Fox News reported this,

several other well-known news websites started reporting on it as well.

Another famous New York news media, Hearst, reported similar news just one minute after Fox’s report.

Subsequently, News Corp, New York Times Company, Paramount, CBS, etc., all reported similar news.

At once, almost every famous and well-known news media in Ugly Country reported it on their respective news websites.

Huh?

So many news media outlets are all reporting this story?

Doesn’t that suggest that this news is very likely to be true?

Countless netizens were instantly dumbfounded!
