Two Realms: The Dark Wizard Evolves Madly in the Wasteland

She turned around, raised an eyebrow, and spoke in an icy tone:

"I'm not going. I'm afraid I might accidentally crush his bones if I'm not careful with this pampered pretty boy."

"Let him go find those third-rate mercenaries who only know how to flatter. I don't have time to play house with this young master!"

"I am the leader of the Red Rose Mercenary Group, a second-tier transcendent being, and I have over eighty men who depend on me for their livelihood!"

Seeing that Li Jing was completely unmoved, Chen Tao leaned close to her ear and said:

"Sister Jing, please don't refuse yet. The fee this time... is 200 Federal Dollars per hour, cash payment, daily settlement!"

Li Jing paused slightly as she was about to grab her protective gear.

A brief silence fell over the lounge.

You should know that even a second-tier superhuman like her only gets three thousand federal coins for risking her life on a federal mission.

"Cough...cough cough!"

Li Jing suddenly clenched her fist and pressed it to her lips, coughing forcefully twice. Her originally cold and hard eyes instantly became much "clearer".

She slowly and deliberately took off the bandage in her hand.

"But speaking of which, as the leader of the Red Rose Mercenary Group, I have an obligation to train every member who possesses the Red Rose Medal to become stronger. What was that guy's name again?"

"Lei Qingshui!"

"Lei Qingshui, right? Don't worry, I'll be very gentle when I teach him later..."

Chen Tao smiled and nodded in praise:

"Yes, yes, Sister Jing has the best temper, Sister Jing is the gentlest... Then I'll have to trouble you later!"

"Oh, right! There's also a box sent by the Federation. Please make sure to give it to Mr. Lei Qingshui later!"

Mingcheng Shijia residential community.

Raven's private training room.

Li Jing walked in carrying the heavy metal box.

Before she could even put on her prepared "professional fake smile," a strange sense of unease instantly welled up inside her when her gaze fell on Raven.

"So white, so incredibly white, so incredibly tender..."

As a woman who has worked her way up in Happiness City for many years, Li Jing has seen all kinds of people.

There are people whose skin is burned and ulcerated by radiation, various people who have mutated due to radiation, and ugly and ferocious mutated creatures.

But she had never seen a man with such good, fair skin.

And this huge villa, can he really live there all by himself?

"I can't stand him! He even wears a suit and tie, acting all refined and suave, like a rich scoundrel!"

Li Jing felt a pang of jealousy and spat inwardly. Just the other person's skin color and living environment made her, a mercenary who eked out a living in the wilderness, feel the enormous sense of class disparity.

She strode forward, her dark green military boots making a particularly loud sound as they stomped on the floor.

She raised her hand and gave Raven a standard salute.

"Mr. Lei Qingshui? Thank you for investing in our Red Rose Mercenary Group. I am the leader, Li Jing, a second-tier enhanced superhuman, skilled in basic combat and short-range firearms shooting!"

Raven was interrupted by the sound. He slowly raised his head, his black eyes calm as still water, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

His gaze swept over the stubborn, wheat-colored mercenary leader in front of him, who seemed determined not to bow down for a pittance.

He said calmly:

"The Red Rose Mercenary Group has a good reputation rating; it's worth my investment!"

Li Jing's lips unconsciously twitched downwards, and her gaze immediately fell on the book next to Raven.

Firearms Maintenance and Shooting Guide

"Ha, learn to shoot from books?"

Li Jing couldn't help but chuckle softly and crossed her arms.

"Mr. Lei, if you can learn to shoot just by reading a book, then what's the point of having us mercenaries who have awakened our superhuman abilities?"

"This book is an old almanac from hundreds of years ago; the theories inside are practically meaningless in actual combat!"

Raven glanced at Li Jing in front of him, his expression calm.

"I believe knowledge is power!"

"Come on."

Li Jing pointed to the weapon rack next to her.

"Since you paid me to teach you, then stop talking nonsense, grab your gun, and head to the shooting range."

"Don't worry, with me teaching you, I guarantee you'll die later than other rich people!"

Raven picked up his custom-made golden Desert Eagle, drew his gun, aimed, and fired.

Fifty bullets were quickly used up, and he had made great progress compared to Raven's training a few days ago.

He can now generally maintain a level of 7 or 8 rings within a 50-meter range.

Even in the military of my previous life, this achievement, while not comparable to the king of soldiers, would definitely be considered average.

However, in the wasteland world, Raven's performance was only considered "okay" by Li Jing, a master of guns.

"It seems you've put in a lot of hard work, and your learning ability is slightly better than average. Not bad!"

Li Jing's voice carried a hint of perfunctoriness.

She picked up a 711 federal standard pistol and checked the magazine.

"However, in the wasteland, this level of marksmanship will at most allow you to survive a few more seconds when facing low-level infected."

As she spoke, she turned and walked towards the other end of the shooting range.

There was a row of stationary metal targets, a full 100 meters away from the firing position.

For a short weapon like a pistol, this is close to the limit of its effective range.

"Watch closely, Mr. Lei."

Li Jing stood with her back to Lei Wen at the shooting position.

She didn't raise her gun to aim, or even straighten her posture; she simply let her arms hang casually at her sides, the muzzle pointing at the ground.

"The so-called 'gun feel' isn't about what you see with your eyes, but about what you feel with your muscles."

She extended her middle finger, pointed to her temple, and then made a gesture that caused Raven's pupils to shrink.

Li Jing closed her eyes.

The next second, her wrist seemed to gain its own consciousness, rising up in an instant with a speed so fast it was almost invisible.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Raven instinctively looked at the target in the distance.

Sparks burst forth from the red dot at the center of the row of metal targets almost simultaneously.

Each bullet was precisely embedded in the very center of the bullseye, and some bullets were even stacked and fired into the same bullet hole.

Ten rings.

Such precision is extremely difficult to achieve even with the aid of a precision sight, let alone when she was firing blindly with her eyes closed, relying solely on her sense of touch.

Raven turned around and looked at Li Jing, who was slowly unloading the pistol, a genuine look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Li Jing's strength is much greater than I imagined..."

Li Jing opened her eyes and looked at Raven's slightly shocked expression.

My annoyance at the other person being fairer than me dissipated considerably. This rich kid may be a bit young, but he doesn't talk much, so I'll give him a thumbs up.

Li Jing raised her eyebrows, smugly blew away the white smoke from the muzzle of her gun, and looked at Raven with a playful expression.

"Wasteland Survival Rule Number One: Never trust your eyes, trust your instincts, your muscles..."

"Those fifty bullets you fired just now, although their impact points were fairly concentrated, your breathing was too erratic, and your wrist was shaking the moment you pulled the trigger. This shows that your physical condition isn't very good; you need to strengthen your training!"

She walked up to Raven and slammed the gun on the table.

"Real shooting requires forgetting your brain and technique; use your muscles to remember the recoil. Sometimes, muscles are much more effective than your brain; muscle reactions are faster!"

Raven remained silent for a moment, his retina frantically analyzing Li Jing's movement trajectory and body data.

Motion capture complete; muscle exertion model built.

【李菁：二阶强化系超凡者年龄24岁力量：21体质 15敏捷：13精神：5极度危险！】

A second-tier superhuman's physical attributes are roughly three times that of me. In close combat, this black wizard, who is not good at melee, would probably be killed by her with one punch.

"I've learned my lesson, Miss Li Jing. I thought your Red Rose Mercenary Group were all lazy bums who just loafed around and did nothing but beg me for money!"

"Now it seems... there's some real skill involved!"

Li Jing pursed her lips, originally intending to adopt a mentor-like demeanor, but was rendered speechless by Raven's teasing remark.

She immediately felt annoyed, her brows furrowed slightly, and she glared at Raven with a hint of annoyance in her eyes.

This is why Li Jing genuinely dislikes rich people; they are aloof and have no understanding of the pain points of the lower classes.

The harsh living conditions make it extremely difficult for people to survive. Most mercenaries are ordinary people who have to support their families. Who would have the money to buy those ridiculously expensive gene enhancement drugs?

Furthermore, even if one saves up money for a long time to buy a gene enhancement drug...

It doesn't necessarily change one's fate. After all, in this day and age, the wasteland lacks everything except mercenaries looking for work.

Raven remained calm. The opponent's marksmanship was accurate, but it was nothing compared to the methods of those mysterious wizards.

Of course, if he could learn Li Jing's marksmanship, it would be enough for him, a dark wizard, to roam freely in the wasteland.

With the help of DeepBlue web crawler and Li Jing, Raven made rapid progress.

In just one afternoon, Raven was already able to consistently hit the nine rings from fifty meters away!

"Training is over for today, Mr. Lei. Your attitude was quite good, better than many of the rich kids I've met!"

"By the way, my overall close-quarters combat skills are also quite strong. Would you like to learn from me?"

After receiving the 800 Federal Credits, Li Jing's eyes narrowed instantly, and she extended an index finger, waving it in front of Raven.

I couldn't help but think to myself, it's still easier to make money off the rich.

"I won't ask for more, just one hundred more Federal Credits will do?"

"No need... thank you!"

Raven shook his head in refusal. He wasn't Gandalf; if he couldn't beat someone, he could run away. There was no need to rush in with his staff and fight to the death.

A fleeting look of disappointment flashed quickly in Li Jing's sharp, eagle-like eyes.

She originally thought that a "rich second generation" like Raven, who had strong learning abilities and plenty of time, would agree.

They have a bit of a fighting spirit and are willing to try close combat.

After all, in the wasteland, guns can jam and bullets can run out, but fists and muscles will always be loyal.

However, the disappointment stemmed more from the fact that he had lost another hundred federal dollars in income.

Since the other party was unwilling, Li Jing did not force the issue and shrugged.

He deftly pocketed the eight hundred federal dollars.

Those black leather pants were stretched taut, and she turned and left.

Only after she left did Raven open the metal box she had brought.

Inside, there was a pale gold sensory-enhancing gene-enhancing potion and five pale blue universal gene-enhancing potions!

"Deep Blue crawler! Scan these gene-enhancing serums for me!"

"Command confirmed. Deep Blue crawler initiated, initiating deep analysis of the target..."

[Scan complete!]

[Item Name: Tier 1 Gene Enhancement Potion x1 (Perception Type)]

[Effect: After injection, the activity of nerve cells in the body will be greatly enhanced]

[Item Name: Tier 1 Gene Enhancement Potion x5 (Universal)]

[Effects: Core benefits: Safely enhances human cell activity and muscle and nerve fiber density, strengthening physical fitness.]

In the wasteland world's superhuman system, each person can only choose a direction based on their physical type, choosing from combat, perception, transformation, or manipulation.

If too many types of enhancers are injected, it can easily cause the body's own genes to collapse.

At that time, not only will they be unable to achieve extraordinary status, but their physical bodies will become too powerful, their consciousness will be unable to control them, and their bodies will instinctively devour everything. This phenomenon is known in the wasteland as gene autophagy.

After calculations and deductions by the Deep Blue crawler, Raven chose the Perception tree, which provides the greatest boost to the Wizarding system.

This series of gene-enhancing drugs can significantly enhance a person's five senses.

The abilities that can be obtained by the first-order perception system gene serum extraordinary awakening are roughly as follows: enhanced hearing, enhanced vision, enhanced smell, enhanced touch, and reduced pain.

The general-purpose gene serum has a very simple and direct effect: it improves physical fitness in all aspects.

However, even the first-level gene serum is very expensive and is subject to strict control by the federal government.

The first-tier gene enhancement drug for general-purpose systems costs 20,000 per vial, while the first-tier enhancement drug for perception systems costs even more, 50,000 per vial.

However, through his transactions between the two worlds, Raven has no shortage of money.

If he wanted, he could just pull out any piece of black bread and have all the beautiful women in the entire city of Happiness line up to sleep with him.

Raven took a deep breath and picked up the perception-type Tier 1 gene serum.

The cool, glassy touch traveled from his fingertips. He aimed the syringe at his vein and abruptly pressed the plunger.

The pale golden liquid flowed along with his blood and instantly surged into his limbs and bones.

At first, there was a refreshing coolness, as if a sweet spring was flowing through my whole body.

But just a few seconds later, that coolness turned into an indescribable heat!

"Well……"

Raven grunted and gripped the edge of the control panel tightly with both hands.

He could clearly feel every cell in his body rejoicing, and muscle fibers and nerve fibers were tearing, reorganizing, and becoming stronger at an incredible speed.

A series of teeth-grinding grinding sounds came from deep within his bones, causing him to convulse and tremble on the ground in pain.

Sweat instantly soaked Raven's entire body.

After an unknown amount of time, when the violent heat within him finally subsided, Raven leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

It felt as if a gentle breeze had swept through the depths of my brain, amplifying my already heightened senses.

[Constitution +1, Strength +1, Agility +1, Spirit +3]

When he opened his eyes again, the whole world looked different to him.

He could even clearly hear the trail of raindrops falling outside the wall and sense the movement of every wisp of air.

"Is this... the world of sensory-type superhumans?"

Raven clenched his fist, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
