004 Virus Enhancement: Blacklight Virus!

With a single point of evolution invested, among the three highlighted branches of evolution, the branch of virus enhancement was further illuminated. Within this branch of the talent tree, there were also two main branches that were close to being illuminated.

In the apocalypse, in certain secret realm instances, one could often see abilities reminiscent of those familiar from movies and TV shows. Chen Bai was well aware of this fact, but what he didn't expect was that at this moment, within his own Virus King talent tree, a similar situation was occurring.

Upon seeing the two highlighted main branches that represented the two main virus enhancement options he could unlock with evolution points, Chen Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

Ancestral Virus: An RNA virus, the origin of all virus series such as T virus, G virus, Ouroboros virus, etc. Successfully absorbing and merging it can significantly enhance overall physical quality and lifespan. It can also consume evolution points to unlock further branches of virus enhancement.

(Note: Virus King can merge and infect any virus without any risk of failure!)

Darklight Virus: A DNA virus that, when merged, can significantly enhance all aspects of physical qualities including strength, stamina, mental acuity, agility, etc., greatly enhancing combat effectiveness, and at the same time, substantially increasing cellular activity. Upon activation, it can consume evolution points to further develop other abilities of the Darklight Virus.

The illumination of these only two virus enhancement branches left Chen Bai momentarily unsure of which one to choose. While the effects of the Ancestral Virus were undoubtedly less terrifying in terms of combat prowess compared to the Darklight Virus, the latter's power came with a price. Although the Virus King talent could immunize Chen Bai from many side effects, he knew that developing it would likely require a considerable number of evolution points.

On the other hand, the Ancestral Virus offered more diverse abilities and effects. Nevertheless, Chen Bai ultimately chose the Darklight Virus. The power it offered was simply too overwhelming, and he knew of no other virus enhancement that could compare.

As for the Ancestral Virus, he could always invest evolution points into it later when he had accumulated more points. Great power naturally required great sacrifices.

Chen Bai's belief in his vastly different starting point now filled him with confidence that the future he could achieve would be significantly different as well.

As the final evolution point vanished, the option for the Ancestral Virus finally dimmed down.

In its place, the Darklight Virus instantly lit up!

At that moment, a pain as intense as the previous night's swept over Chen Bai, almost causing him to cry out. He could only grit his teeth and hold onto the already crumbling blanket, his body drenched in sweat.

The agony lasted for only a few minutes. Yet, during that time, Chen Bai could feel something special coursing through his body.

The Darklight Virus!

Merging with the Darklight Virus throughout his body!

Simultaneously, under the influence of this virus, his previously average muscles rapidly sculpted into a perfect physique, brimming with unimaginable strength and agility.

In the next moment, the prompt from the Cosmic Will once again appeared before Chen Bai's eyes:

Initial Fusion Awakening of the Darklight Virus, Current Progress: 0.1%! Your strength +10, agility +10, constitution +10, spirit +10! Life recovery speed +200%!

In an instant, Chen Bai's fists clenched tightly.

There was no explosive sound like in fantasy novels. The base attributes of an ordinary person are five points! The immense improvement Chen Bai experienced only doubled his physical qualities, so there was nothing particularly fantastical about it happening.

However, the surging power still instilled Chen Bai, who had previously injected himself with the zombie virus, with an indescribable sense of confidence! He quickly relaxed all the tense muscles in his body and opened the attribute panel bestowed upon him as a pioneer:

Chen Bai (Pioneer) Evolver ID: 001 Talent: Virus King (SSS) Level: 1 (0/500) Strength: 13 (+1) Agility: 15 (+1) Constitution: 15 (+1) Spirit: 14 (+1) Charisma: ??? Luck: ??? Gold Coins: 0

Level 1! But his strength and the other four attributes were three times higher than that of a normal person! Such a start made Chen Bai breathe a long sigh of relief.

What surprised him even more was his Evolver ID! 001! Doesn't that mean he's the first Evolver to awaken prematurely on Blue Star?!

Although the experience from his past life told Chen Bai that prematurely awakened Evolvers were extremely rare, being the first actively awakened Evolver, Chen Bai didn't expect his ID to be so impressive.

However, with so many talented individuals in this world, such IDs were similar to an ID number, applicable to many functions of future cosmic wills, but essentially not providing much additional help.

Chen Bai also knew that in the days to come, there would certainly be a group of Evolvers with outstanding talents appearing nationwide. Although early awakening and extraordinary talents didn't guarantee reaching higher peaks in the future, it was undeniable that compared to other Evolvers who awakened only ten... no, nine days before the outbreak of the apocalypse, they had already taken a significant step forward!

If he truly believed he was invincible just because of this, that would be laughable! The SSS-level talent only gave him the highest starting point and potential for growth in the future. To become a strong individual capable of facing gods, he still had a long way to go!

In the time to come, he needed to make thorough preparations while the apocalypse was about to erupt. Originally, Chen Bai only intended to collect some basic supplies, but now it seemed that gathering viruses and bacteria to increase evolution points was the top priority!

However, Chen Bai didn't rush into action. After getting up from the dormitory bed, he carefully controlled his strength and opened his laptop. He thought for a moment and directly created a forum on Google.

"Universal Will Evolver Pioneers Bar"

The forum was empty, without a single post. Chen Bai didn't write any explanatory posts about the impending apocalypse either. Evolver pioneers who could awaken their talents before the apocalypse outbreak weren't fools; they didn't need to be told about the true nature of the apocalypse.
