I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

With Lin Xuankong around,
If three thousand gene warriors could truly awaken in Shelter Thirty-Six, all of whom would choose the elemental gene pathway and become Lin Xuankong's students...
Lin Xuankong's "three thousand disciples" will grow at a speed about six thousand times faster than elemental gene warriors from other countries, and the resources saved will also be about six thousand times greater than those from other countries!
Normally, the resources required to train a Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior differ from those required to train an Elemental Gene Warrior by hundreds of times. This is why almost 99% of the gene warriors in the Tang Kingdom choose the Dragon Elephant Gene Warrior path! However, if Lin Xuankong were to take in 'three thousand disciples,' the 'three thousand Elemental Gene Warriors' under his command would consume only a fraction of the source energy resources required by gene warriors from other countries!

If Lin Haoyun, the strongest person in the Tang Kingdom, or the top experts and rulers of the Yunqin Kingdom knew that a guy capable of making countless gene warriors grow at thousands of times the speed was hidden in such a refuge in the ruins of the small stone city, they would be absolutely astonished! They would either come immediately to invite Lin Xuankong back as a distinguished guest to guide their country's countless gene warriors, or they would come immediately to eliminate him to prevent him from becoming a guest of an enemy country!

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that Mr. Li Pingfei in Shelter No. 35 can successfully develop the YZMM gene serum! Otherwise, where can Lin Xuankong find thousands of trustworthy 'disciples' he has trained from scratch?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuankong told Captain You Rui and then left the office with Zhu Ling.

Since Vault 36 has more than tripled in size,
Mr. Li Pingfei then led a team to select over a hundred skilled "disaster victims" from the newly arrived refugees, filling their already demanding laboratory. Now, Mr. Li Pingfei's laboratory has expanded considerably, and the equipment inside was brought back from abandoned laboratories and research institutes in Stone City by Han Liu and his Void-Eating Worms, who burrowed underground there!
After putting on his dustproof suit and entering the laboratory, Lin Xuankong ran into Han Bao, who was frowning. Seeing Han Bao's depressed look, Lin Xuankong became curious.

After Shelter Thirty-Six recently expanded its population several times over, the number of able-bodied adults has increased six or seven times. After all, most of the ordinary people who survived the Source Beast Disaster and are still alive today are young and strong. Although some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled survived, most of them could not withstand the hardships of the early days of the Source Beast Disaster, nor could they withstand the malnutrition caused by the scarcity of resources during the shelter period. Han Bao, one of the leaders of Shelter Thirty-Six, should have been able to do his job more smoothly with so many strong laborers under his command, but now he clearly looks worried.

"Master Lin, you've come too?" Han Bao gave Lin Xuankong a standard military salute. Nowadays, most people in Shelter 36 call Lin Xuankong "Master Lin." The only ones who are so close to Lin Xuankong and call him "Master Lin" are Han Liu, Han Bao, and later Zhu Ling!
As for what's to come, if new gene warriors appear at Refuge No. 36 in the future, even if Lin Xuankong wanted to take them as 'disciples', he planned to have Han Bao, Han Liu, and Zhu Ling, who had changed her cultivation path, take on the students. In this way, Lin Xuankong would only be taking on some grand-disciples, and he could develop a relationship with them that included family and friends, allowing those people to gain thousands of times more growth bonuses, without having to spend a lot of time and energy guiding students every day!

Lin Xuankong nodded. "Why do you look so worried? That's not like you."

Han Bao sighed, adjusted the helmet on his protective suit, and said with some annoyance:

"Recently, Captain Yu Rui and I discussed the plan to build a thick, high wall to protect all 100 residential buildings and facilities in the entire No. 36 Shelter, and then move most of the newly manufactured automatic cannons and heavy machine guns to the outposts on the high wall!"

Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised. "I've heard Captain You Rui mention this. It's a good idea. This way, the defense of the shelter will be arranged properly. Is there a problem? Shouldn't we be asking Lao Hu and the others about this? Why are we here at Laboratory One?"

Han Bao sighed, "The key is this high wall. Captain You Rui and I both believe it needs to be at least several meters thick, with a stable foundation of less than ten meters, and a height of more than fifteen meters. This would allow the outposts on top to make better observations, and on the other hand, it would also deter ordinary source beasts from attacking! But this project is too massive. There are too few lifting devices to be found in the ruins near Shelter No. 36, and it would take too long to manufacture new ones!"
While the number of able-bodied young people in Shelter 36 had increased several times, they were all ordinary people and did not possess the immense power and special abilities of Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors or other types of Gene Warriors!

To complete this project, we definitely need more people with strong abilities!
So, I made a special trip to see Mr. Li Pingfei to check on the progress of his YZMM gene serum research. I'm planning to get one or two thousand doses of the new YZMM gene serum from him to expand the manpower of our gene warriors in Vault 36. Otherwise, relying solely on me, Ma Long, Captain You Rui, and that guy Han Liu, I really don't know when we'll be able to finish building this wall!

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. It seems that Mr. Li Pingfei rejected you because the awakening rate of the YZMM gene serum wasn't high enough!"

Han Bao nodded. "According to Mr. Li Pingfei, the gene awakening rate of his current YZMM gene serum No. 2089 is at most 3.9%. Even if he takes it twice, the awakening rate will be at most 7.8%, which is not enough to give every ordinary person the opportunity to become a gene warrior. Therefore, he absolutely refused to let me use this kind of YZMM gene serum with such an awakening rate on the disaster victims in Shelter No. 36!"

Teacher Lin, as you know, Mr. Li Pingfei's wish is very good. He intends to give every ordinary person the opportunity to become a gene warrior. However, this is not something that can be accomplished in one or two years. It may even take decades, hundreds of years, thousands or tens of thousands of years to achieve the 50% awakening success rate that Mr. Li Pingfei mentioned, or it may never reach the 50% awakening success rate!

After all, with at least several million researchers from dozens of countries including Tang, Yunsong, Yunxi, and Yunqin, they have only managed to stabilize the success rate of the YZMM gene drug at 0.5%!

Mr. Li Pingfei's ZYMM gene serum, with a 3.9% success rate in awakening, is already quite powerful. It might have been created thanks to a sudden burst of inspiration. Who knows whether it would take hundreds or tens of thousands of years to improve it further!

Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly and looked at Han Bao, "Don't worry, with the almost unlimited supply of source beast flesh and blood from our Shelter No. 36, the awakening rate of the YZMM gene serum developed by Mr. Li Pingfei will definitely continue to increase. One day in the future, it will definitely reach an awakening success rate that will satisfy everyone!"

Lin Xuankong was extremely confident about this. After all, with the added advantage of his wife, children, and other relatives, who were blessed with good health even in their old age, the progress of Mr. Li Pingfei's YZMM gene drug was thousands of times faster than that of other countries' pharmaceutical research institutes. One year of Li Pingfei's work was equivalent to thousands or even tens of thousands of years for other research institutes. Lin Xuankong admired Mr. Li Pingfei's character and professionalism. Compared to some so-called experts and researchers he had met, Mr. Li Pingfei was much more dedicated and serious. More importantly, Mr. Li Pingfei also had lofty ideals!
When an individual or a group strives for a truly lofty ideal that can change the fate of countless people, the power and wisdom they unleash are clearly incomparable to those of ordinary experts and researchers who are driven by self-interest and money!

"Furthermore, Han Bao, have you ever considered that the laboratories of countries like Tang, Yunqin, and Yunsong may have already produced YZMM gene agents with an awakening rate of over 0.5%? It's just that the upper echelons who hold power in this era don't really intend for most ordinary people to become gene warriors like them, thus following the same path and competing with them for power and profit in the future?"

"Or perhaps these countries deliberately lowered the success rate of YZMM gene serum awakening to 0.5%!" Lin Xuankong looked at Han Bao carefully and said quite seriously.

Upon hearing this, Han Bao's expression shifted, and he fell silent.

Before the era of the Source Beast Disaster, Han Bao was not considered a high-ranking official, but he was related to Malon, who was already an eighth-tier life form. He had a deep understanding of the character of the upper-level gene warriors in Tang Kingdom who controlled various resources and powers!
Therefore, when Han Bao heard Lin Xuankong's words and thought about them, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine!

Lin Xuankong remained silent for a moment, then patted Han Bao on the shoulder. "You go ahead and attend to other matters. I'll talk to Mr. Li Pingfei about the YZMM gene serum. I'll have him send people to produce several thousand doses of the YZMM gene serum with an awakening rate of about 3.9%!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Master Lin, why don't you go and talk to Mr. Li Pingfei?"

Lin Xuankong laughed and said, "What, you think I'll be rejected by Mr. Li Pingfei too? Well then, wait for me at the lab entrance. I'll be able to get Mr. Li Pingfei on my side in five minutes at most!"

"Huh? This! Then I'll go wait at the door!" Han Bao seemed a little incredulous.

After a few minutes,
At the laboratory entrance, Han Bao strode to Lin Xuankong, who had just walked out of the door. "Teacher Lin, how is it?"

Lin Xuankong smiled and said, "Mr. Li Pingfei has agreed to produce 5,000 vials of YZMM gene serum No. 2089 first. You can bring people to pick it up tomorrow morning!"

"Huh? How did you convince that stubborn old man?" Han Bao asked, looking surprised.

Lin Xuankong looked at the hundred or so buildings of Shelter No. 36 around him and said, "Actually, it's the same as what you said, just from a different perspective. You told Mr. Li Pingfei that you wanted to give the disaster victims Gene Serum No. 2089 so they could do construction work, and of course, Mr. Li Pingfei was unwilling. My suggestion is that we must send five thousand people to clear out the Source Beast lairs near Shelter No. 36 in the near future, otherwise, we simply won't be able to supply the source beast flesh and blood to the hundreds of thousands of disaster victims in Shelter No. 36!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words, Han Bao's mouth dropped open, revealing a strange expression.

"Master Lin, you've misled Mr. Li Pingfei! This way, Mr. Li Pingfei is worried that the disaster victims who went out to clear out the source beast's lair will suffer heavy casualties due to insufficient strength!"

To avoid a large number of disaster victims dying in the battle against the source beasts, Mr. Li Pingfei naturally had to compromise temporarily. Hahaha, Master Lin, you are indeed very cunning!

Lin Xuankong laughed and said, "Mr. Li Pingfei is compassionate and hopes that every ordinary person can have the opportunity to become a gene warrior. If we want to persuade Mr. Li Pingfei to agree to produce a large number of YZMM gene serums ahead of schedule, we can only persuade him by appealing to his compassionate nature! Everyone has weaknesses!"

"Amazing!" Han Bao laughed, rubbing his hands together involuntarily, clearly looking forward to receiving five thousand doses of YZMM gene serum.

Lin Xuankong looked at Han Bao with a serious expression, "However, I also promised Mr. Li Pingfei that this batch of YZMM gene serum will only be given to ordinary people who have never been injected with YZMM gene serum before. This is because an ordinary person only has two injections of YZMM gene serum and only two opportunities for reverse transcription in their lifetime. If there are any more, their gene chains will be affected, and they will never have the opportunity to become a gene warrior again in this lifetime!"

Upon hearing this, Han Bao solemnly saluted Lin Xuankong. "Rest assured, Master Lin, I will certainly not disappoint Mr. Li Pingfei, given your compassionate heart. Furthermore, the selection of those to be injected with the YZMM gene serum will follow your previous arrangements, choosing from among the disaster victims who are diligent, of good character, have sufficient contribution points, and rank among the top in Shelter 36. I will absolutely ensure that among those selected, there will be as few as possible of people like Xu Rong and Xu Chong!"

At this point, Han Bao's face lit up with anticipation again. "If YZMM gene serum number 2089 really does have the 3.9% awakening success rate that Mr. Li Pingfei said, then after this batch of YZMM gene serum is injected, our Vault 36 could potentially gain nearly two hundred new gene warriors! That's almost double the number of gene warriors Vault 36 originally had, and this is just the beginning!" (End of Chapter)
