Infinity, The Arcade Age-Chapter 346: Invincible White Flame Azure Dragon!

Ding!

As the treasure chest opened, Qin Ming, expressionless, took out an item and casually set it aside.

There, dozens of identical items were already piled up.

[Name: Imperfect Gene Potion]

[Category: Consumable (Dull Silver Quality)]

[Effect: Upon injection, causes the body to undergo an uncertain evolution. The evolution effect is unknown and is very likely unable to maintain a human form.]

[Description: A unique product fused with dinosaur genes and alien genes, full of uncertainty.]

Over forty heads, each one yielding the exact same item—mutant potions, all uniformly of the same type.

This left Qin Ming looking utterly helpless. What was he supposed to say? Should he curse this monster's loot-dropping mechanism as being rigged? Or should he feel fortunate that his profession matched perfectly?

At least he was lucky to have a special innate skill—otherwise, if others were to obtain so many mutant potions, they'd surely suffer huge losses!

After all, potions that might alter one's appearance—who would dare use them? If an evolution fails, one might end up neither human nor ghost, and then never be able to return to the real world, getting discovered upon return.

These items couldn't even be sold—because no one would dare to buy them! No one would!

Shaking his head, Qin Ming sighed and began the fusion process.

Amidst flashes of light, bottle after bottle of potions were merged together.

Two dull-silver level potions fused into a normal-level one; two normal-level ones fused into a dazzling-level one.

Then came a breakthrough toward the golden level, followed by further enhancement and more breakthroughs.

In the end, Qin Ming ended up with two brand-new potions in his hand—refined, upgraded potions.

[Name: Perfect Gene Potion]

[Quality: Dazzling Golden Quality]

[Effect: Upon use, causes the body to undergo a perfect evolution; while maintaining the integrity of one's appearance, it grants tremendous power.]

[Description: The perfect potion that Dr. Calamity pursued his entire life, yet ultimately it never emerged from his hands.]

Two potions—one dazzling golden, and one ordinary golden—both named Perfect Gene Potion.

Clearly, during the fusion and evolution process, this potion's shortcomings were remedied.

If one could obtain an ordinary golden-quality consumable, Qin Ming could even force the creation of an epic-level potion, whose effect would be absolutely terrifying!

Yet, after much hesitation, Qin Ming let out a deep sigh and decided not to further attempt enhancement.

Kasamoto Eri was not only his assistant but also his wife, and he had to find a way to strengthen her too; after all, as Qin Ming's own power continuously increased, Kasamoto Eri's combat ability was beginning to lag behind.

Otherwise, she'd be forced into situations like being tied up with explosives and involved in terrorist attacks.

Of course, if she were unwilling to be strengthened, there was an even better option—simply replace her with a stronger head. That would save money and effort.

But could Qin Ming really do that? Not only was he vindictive by nature, but he was also extremely protective of his own.

One potion for himself! One potion for Kasamoto Eri! A dual enhancement!

With a decision swiftly forming in his heart, Qin Ming without hesitation picked up the dazzling-level potion and forcefully injected it into his own neck, choosing to strengthen himself on the spot.

He couldn't or wouldn't delay.

If he didn't enhance immediately, he feared that once back home he wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to forgo injecting Kasamoto Eri and instead fuse even higher-level potions.

After all, he didn't believe he could maintain his resolve in the face of an epic-level potion's allure.

Moreover, given Kasamoto Eri's nature, if she knew he had two potions in his hands, she would definitely refuse to use them.

Cutting to the chase! Once the decision is made, just use it—don't give yourself any chance to regret!

As the potion injected into his body, Qin Ming's veins erupted all over, and he began to emit uncontrollable heavy gasps.

Painfully, he sank to his knees, hands braced against the ground.

Sweat streamed down his forehead as his expression turned grim and ferocious.

And in the next moment, his originally human body began to transform.

His skin started to harden—indeed, even a layer of keratin began to grow!

His forehead swelled, and from it slowly emerged a single horn!

His eyes turned into vertical slits like those of a dinosaur, and his teeth erupted, growing into a mouthful of fangs!

In the blink of an eye, the imposing burly man he once was had vanished—replaced by a three-meter-tall half-man, half-dragon monster with horns and a massive tail!

Dinosaur form! Fully formed!

This dazzling-level Perfect Gene Potion didn't enhance Qin Ming's attributes, nor did it grant him any new skills.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

What it did strengthen was Qin Ming's bloodline—his so-called "Dreamy Unknowing Flame" bloodline!

It triggered a secondary mutation in that already mutant bloodline!

[Name: Dreamy Dragon Bloodline]

[Grade: A]

[Effect 1: Dreamy Flame (allows control over white dragon flame; the dragon flame weakens the target's defense and possesses extremely high temperature; its defense-break value equals half of the user's Strength)]

[Effect 2: Dreamy Dragon (when the bloodline is fully activated, the user transforms, and all attributes are boosted by an extra 50%, though it rapidly burns the blood within the body)]

[Description: The fire of the nine-tailed fox, the water of Dream Island, dinosaur genes, alien bloodline—what kind of fusion monster is this?]

Slowly, Qin Ming stood up, raised both arms, closed his eyes, and faced the sky.

He silently absorbed his new state, and a smile gradually curled at the corners of his mouth.

His entire body was now covered with a hardened keratin layer; a huge horn even sprouted from the middle of his forehead, and a massive tail trailed behind him. At the moment he activated his bloodline, white flames suddenly ignited across his skin.

And these white flames were no longer the harmless, low-temperature flames of old.

This time, the flame's temperature was extremely high—so high that the very air around Qin Ming began to distort!

Raising one hand, he gently grasped a broken tree trunk nearby. With a creak, the scorched trunk began to rapidly decay and carbonize.

In just the blink of an eye, the portion Qin Ming held turned to flying ash.

High temperature plus corrosion—the evolved white flame now possessed full offensive capability! It was no longer just an auxiliary flame!

Barely able to contain his excitement, Qin Ming bared a mouthful of fangs and roared.

In the next second, a jet of white dragon flame erupted from his mouth, extending for over ten meters and incinerating every tree along its path!

Even the stones caught in its path began to rapidly calcify into powder.

The biological flame originally developed by Dr. Calamity when he transformed into a dinosaur had been perfectly inherited by Qin Ming—and it had mutated to become even stronger and fiercer.

After ceasing his fire with a closing of his mouth, Qin Ming lowered his head to admire his newly mutated, vicious claws, and a look of admiration spread across his face.

"This is the legendary perfect gene? It's truly impressive!"

As he spoke, Qin Ming raised one claw and examined it carefully— the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Just then, a faint rustling arose from behind him, accompanied by voices brimming with excitement.

"What kind of state is this? What is this state? Why have I never seen this in any of my experiments? How did you do it! How did you evolve like this?"

Hearing the familiar voice from behind, Qin Ming paused and quickly turned around.

To his surprise, he saw a severely mutilated body, struggling to crawl toward him.

It was none other than Dr. Calamity—previously stripped away as inferior genetic material, now only a small remnant of his body connected by a withered arm.

Even after being trampled by the gene construct, he still hadn't died!

Using his remaining arm, Dr. Calamity struggled to crawl toward Qin Ming. As he climbed, he spoke excitedly, his eyes sparkling with a nearly frenzied gleam as he looked at Qin Ming.

"You just took out another bottle of potion, right? Hand it over so I can study it! With it, I'm sure I can break through my bottleneck! I will definitely create a more perfect gene! Definitely!"

Seeing Dr. Calamity's excited, pathetic state crawling on the ground, Qin Ming furrowed his brows.

"You're not dead?"

"Hurry, give me the potion! Hurry, give me the potion!"

"Even now, when you've become like this, you still care about the potion? And you dare to come close to me? Do you really not want to live?"

Staring at Dr. Calamity—whose genetic research had reached a near-demonic level—Qin Ming shook his head. Just as he was about to move in to finish him off, he heard approaching footsteps in the distance.

As the sounds grew nearer, a figure came running from afar—it was Kasamoto Eri.

Seeing Kasamoto Eri approach, Qin Ming's face lit up for a moment, but then his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Stop! Give the password first!"

Qin Ming remembered clearly that in this world there was an adventurer who could transform into someone else.

So, to prevent him from disguising as one of his own and causing trouble, Qin Ming had arranged a secret code, just in case.

Hearing Qin Ming's command, Kasamoto Eri immediately halted, a look of helpless resignation on her face.

"The code is: there is no code, Boss—are you satisfied now?"

"Mm! Yes, that's right! Come over here!"

Receiving the satisfactory response, Qin Ming nodded forcefully, finally agreeing to let her through.

Quickly sprinting over, Kasamoto Eri drew near and then slowly looked up at Qin Ming's towering three-meter-plus, fearsome form. At that moment, her eyes began twitching uncontrollably at the corner.

"I'm telling you, must you always grow so huge? Your physique is completely over the top!"

Hearing Kasamoto Eri's complaint, Qin Ming grinned broadly, quickly turning and flexing his biceps.

"Big! That's justice!"

"I warn you, until you revert to a normal human, don't even think about touching me."

"But being small has its merits too!"

Barely finishing her remark, on the other side Qin Ming quickly ended his transformation, instantly de-evolving from a towering three-meter dinosaur-man to a two-meter-plus, equally burly human form.

Seeing Qin Ming shrink on the spot, Kasamoto Eri's expression turned one of utter disdain.

How can our Boss be like a balloon—expanding when he wants and deflating on a whim?

Who would have thought that something capable of transforming into a three-meter giant would, in its true form, be nothing more than a normal person just over 1.7 meters tall? That amplification factor is just too extreme!
