I'm the administrator of the National Fortune Arena at the start of the game; I'll hand it

Time ticked by, second by second, amidst the tense wait.

48 hours, two days and two nights.

For everyone at the National Security Strategy Center, these past two days have been incredibly agonizing.

The countdown to the second instance was like a Damocles' sword hanging overhead, constantly shortening.

Meanwhile, in the laboratory, the vital signs data in the twenty hibernation pods were like a rollercoaster, constantly gripping everyone's attention.

Su Yuan stayed in the observation room almost every step of the way.

His administrator panel was always locked on the status bars of the twenty players.

There, you can find more detailed and intuitive data than with laboratory monitoring equipment.

[Wang Yi: Gene recombination in progress... 7%... Strength +1, Agility +1... Warning! A crack has been detected in the mental barrier!]

[Li Bingyao: Gene recombination in progress... 12%... Spirit +2, Constitution +1... Warning! Cellular energy dissipation, vital signs declining!]

[Chen Hu: Gene recombination in progress... 5% progress... Strength +3... Warning! Signs of gene chain collapse!]

One red alert after another popped up on the system panel, making Su Yuan's heart clench.

He knew that this was the terrifying aspect of the T-virus serum.

Even with the aid of stabilizing fluid, the modification process was still fraught with danger.

The pain and mental trauma originating from the genetic level must be endured entirely by their own willpower.

"Comrade Su Yuan, Chen Hu, number 4, is in critical condition! His genetic breakdown rate is steadily increasing!"

The chief researcher's voice, coming through the communicator, was filled with anxiety.

"Is there any way?" Su Yuan asked immediately.

"We're increasing the dosage of the stabilizing solution, but the effect is minimal! His body seems to have developed some resistance to the stabilizing solution! If this continues, he... he might..."

The commander-in-chief didn't say what came next, but everyone understood what it meant.

Su Yuan frowned deeply, his mind racing.

The National Fortune Points are almost depleted, making it impossible to exchange them for higher-level stabilizing potions from the shop.

What should I do?

Suddenly, he remembered his personal online store!

Inside were over 100,000 personal game points that he had accumulated!

He immediately opened his personal online store and quickly searched through the dazzling array of goods.

Soon, an item that wasn't too expensive but seemed to be the right product for his condition caught his eye.

【Product: Primary Fountain of Life (10ml)】

Price: 1000 personal points

[Effects: Spring water containing gentle life energy can repair bodily damage, nourish cells, and stabilize vital signs.]

That's it!

Without hesitation, Su Yuan immediately spent 1000 points to exchange for a small bottle.

[Redeem successful. Items have been delivered to your personal space.]

He immediately issued a command to the system: "System! Manifest this bottle of 'Primary Fountain of Life' directly into the nutrient solution in Hibernation Chamber No. 4 in my name!"

[Instruction confirmed. 100 personal points will be consumed as a transaction fee.]

[Appearing now...]

Almost at the same time that Su Yuan issued the order.

In the laboratory, inside hibernation chamber number 4, a small clump of liquid emitting a soft green light suddenly appeared in the pale blue nutrient solution, and then quickly merged into it.

This change was so subtle that no one noticed it at all.

However, the data on the monitoring equipment underwent a miraculous change!

"Look! The data from number 4 has stabilized!" a researcher exclaimed in surprise.

"The rate of gene breakdown has stopped rising and is slowly declining! Vital signs are also recovering! Oh my god! What's happening?"

"I don't know! It's like... it's like a gentle energy suddenly appeared in his body, helping him repair his genetic chains!"

The commander-in-chief and all the researchers were gathered around the screen in the No. 4 hibernation pod, their faces filled with disbelief.

In the observation room, Su Yuan saw that Chen Hu's status bar alarm had been deactivated on the system panel, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

it works!

The items in the personal shop are really useful!

In the time that followed, Su Yuan acted like a most dutiful guardian.

If a player's condition becomes critical, he will generously exchange Life Spring from his personal shop to quietly provide "support".

Finally, after consuming nearly 20,000 personal points from Su Yuan, the 48-hour renovation period came to an end.

hum-

Hibernation pod number 1 emitted a soft buzzing sound, and the hatch slowly rose upwards.

All eyes were instantly drawn to it.

A figure slowly stood up from the hibernation chamber filled with nutrient solution.

It's Wang Yi!

He was completely naked, his skin a healthy bronze color, and all the scars on it had disappeared.

Instead, there are perfect and smooth muscle lines.

His physique didn't look much more robust than before, but the feeling he gave off was completely different.

It was a sense of oppression filled with explosive power!

He slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes remained deep and resolute, but deep within them, it seemed as if lightning was flashing.

He looked down at his hands, then gently clenched them together.

Crack!

A crisp popping sound suddenly rang out in the air!

Lin Zhan and Li Guodong, who were outside the laboratory, suddenly had their pupils contract!

"The air... he crushed it?" Li Guodong muttered to himself, feeling his worldview being repeatedly shattered.

Wang Yi also seemed somewhat surprised by his own power.

He stepped out of the hibernation pod and stretched his body.

Every movement was full of power and coordination, like a cheetah awakening.

A researcher mustered his courage and stepped forward with a specially made force measuring device:

"Comrade Wang... Comrade Wang Yi, could you please test my strength?"

Wang Yi nodded and took the sturdy-looking force gauge.

He didn't use his full strength; he just casually threw a punch at the sensor area of ​​the force gauge.

boom!

A muffled thud.

On the force gauge's LCD screen, the numbers started to skyrocket!

100kg...200kg...500kg!

Ultimately, the number settled on a figure that nearly made everyone's eyes pop out.

1447kg!

One and a half tons!

The force of one punch exceeds one and a half tons!

Is this even human?! It's practically a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Wang Yi himself was stunned when he saw the number, seemingly not expecting that his casual punch would have such great power.

Once again, thunderous cheers erupted in the laboratory!

It worked!

The perfect T-virus serum has been successfully injected!

But this is still just the beginning.

Following Wang Yi, the hatches of hibernation pods No. 2, No. 3, No. 4... opened one after another.

Li Bingyao, Chen Hu, Zhao Zihan...

All twenty contestants successfully completed the gene recombination!

Each of them underwent a transformative enhancement.

When the twenty newly revamped contestants, dressed in specially made combat suits, reassembled at the operations center.

Everyone in the command center who saw them felt a profound sense of awe.

They are no longer ordinary soldiers, doctors, firefighters...

They are a truly invincible team composed of superpowered individuals—the Dragon Team!

General Long looked at the twenty spirited and imposing young men before him, his eyes filled with excitement and pride.

He knew that the sharpest sword in the Dragon Kingdom had been forged!

No matter what the next challenge is, they now have the confidence to face any challenge!
