Two Realms: The Dark Wizard Evolves Madly in the Wasteland

into the night.

Inside the underground air-raid shelter of the Mingcheng Shijia mansion, a dim blue light shines day and night.

On the lab table were the dark black second-order gene enhancement drug and three general-purpose first-order gene enhancement drugs.

[Item Name: Tier 2 Gene Enhancement Potion x1 (Psychic Type) - Defective Product]

[Effects: After injection, human cell activity will be greatly enhanced, muscle fiber density, nerve and bone strength will experience a leap forward, and there is a certain probability of producing characteristics that make the host's latent genes manifest.]

[Note: This gene serum has not been completely inactivated. The user's lifespan will be significantly reduced, and there is a risk of gene collapse, or even death from shock. Based on the current host's physical condition, the success rate of enhancement is 3%, and the failure rate is 97%...]

……

"Deep Blue crawler, could you possibly optimize the entire gene sequence of this drug?"

"I need you to eliminate all side effects and come up with a plan that guarantees a 100% success rate!"

[The optimized solution has been generated. To ensure a 100% success rate, the original solution must undergo deep filtration and purification.]

[Note: After filtration and purification, harmful factors in the medicine will be removed, and the extreme enhancement effect on the body will be greatly reduced, but the safety will reach an absolute threshold.]

Estimated processing time: Approximately 12 hours.

"Phew... thank goodness I have DeepBlue crawler..."

Raven took a deep breath, a look of ecstasy spreading across his face.

"A telekinetic gene serum... and a second-tier one at that!"

You should know that Tier 1 gene serums can be bought with money, but Tier 2 and Tier 3 serums are extremely rare and can only be obtained by becoming a Federation-registered superhuman.

But it took her ten years to become a second-tier superhuman.

It's fair to say that being able to buy time with money is already a huge win for Raven.

And most importantly, based on Raven's understanding of the wasteland world.

Telekinesis is most likely related to the enhancement of mental power. As a wizard, he naturally knows how important mental power is to him.

So those two million were an absolute steal!

It's a pity that this is the last one, but it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have the channels and I'm not short of money. At worst, I can wait for others to explore it and then reap the benefits.

The Huangshan Research Institute is a cutting-edge biological research institute of the Federation, located in the Huangshan Mountains north of Happiness City.

Fifty years ago, an experiment went wrong.

Mutant creatures within the research institute attacked its personnel, triggering a large-scale viral infection that turned the entire institute into a dead zone.

Fifty years have passed, the virus has dissipated, and many mercenaries have begun to explore it one after another.

According to the information Raven gathered, many private conglomerates in Happiness City are also interested in the Huangshan Research Institute and are actively seeking investment throughout the city, preparing to send mercenaries to investigate.

What a pity, there's only one!

There aren't enough for us to fight.

……

Twelve hours later.

Raven suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot eyes flashing with undisguised ecstasy.

On the control panel, the gene-enhancing serum that originally emitted a deep black color has now undergone a dramatic change.

The deep black faded, replaced by pale golden, mercury-like flocculent matter.

Purification complete.

[Second-order gene enhancement drug - psychokinetic type]

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

Success rate: 100%

[Note: Due to the removal of extremely harmful factors, the enhancement effect is approximately 30% of the original potion.]

Looking at the string of perfect green data that popped up on my retina

Raven let out a long breath, and his shoulders, which had been tense for twelve hours, finally relaxed.

Although the enhancement effect is reduced, this is a perfect evolution with a 100% success rate.

"Deep Blue, simulating my current physical condition, injects me with a telekinetic gene serum. Is there a risk of genetic collapse...?"

[Command confirmed... Retrieving host's current genetic map and mental threshold.]

Raven held his breath, staring intently at the data stream on his retina.

A few seconds later, the emotionless, mechanical voice of the Deep Blue Reptile echoed in my mind:

[Simulation complete.]

[Conclusion: The host's current psychogenic gene chain is highly compatible with the target drug (psychic type).]

[No risk is involved!]

Raven let out a long breath, his tense nerves finally relaxing.

"If you have the medicine and don't use it, are you still a wizard? The perception-enhancing potion last time gave him dynamic vision, and with the help of the Deep Blue Reptile, he was able to accurately locate the alpha wolf in the pack and kill it with a single shot!"

"beat!"

Without further hesitation, Raven picked up the "telekinesis" potion that emitted a pale gold glow.

He skillfully wiped the vein in his left arm with an alcohol swab, then inserted the needle and pushed the plunger.

The pale blue liquid flowed slowly into his blood vessels through the transparent catheter.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

Raven lay quietly on the lab table.

However, the expected pain did not come.

His body showed no reaction; there was no high fever, no convulsions, and not even a rapid heartbeat.

It feels completely different from the sensation of injecting a general-purpose enhancement drug.

"It failed?"

Raven frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his mind.

But the next second, his pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

"Hiss," Raven gasped.

Deep within Raven's mind, something dormant seemed to have been forcibly awakened by this energy.

"It's so itchy... Damn it, is something growing in my brain?"

He felt that the originally invisible spiritual power in his brain began to gather and condense wildly, eventually "growing" something deep in his mind.

"That was a...spiritual tentacle."

Raven suddenly opened his eyes, a look of shock and confusion flashing across his face.

"I've turned into Squidward?"

He tried to give the mental tentacles a command in his mind: "Move."

He looked down and saw that a semi-transparent tentacle emitting a faint blue light had actually "emerged" out of his stomach!

"Whoosh!"

The mental tentacle instantly transformed, with five long "fingers" branching out from its tip, and even joint-like nodes could be seen.

Raven tried to use this "hand" to grab the glass test tube on the table.

The fingers at the tip of the tentacle nimbly snapped together, firmly grasping the test tube, and one could even feel the cool touch of the glass surface.

"The materialization of spiritual power?"

Raven's face was full of confusion.

He tried it again and discovered that this mental tentacle could not only freely transform into a hand or tentacles according to his thoughts, but could even turn into a snake...

It has a maximum extension distance of 2 meters and also has the ability to grasp physical objects.

"It seems that this potion not only strengthened my physical body, but also unexpectedly opened the door to the materialization of my spirit. Under normal circumstances, one must become a formal wizard to materialize one's spirit. Moreover, these materialized tentacles do not consume any spirit power. Raven continuously controlled the tentacles to transform into snakes, lizards, or even arms..."

Raven looked thoughtful.

To be honest, he could already imagine the scene of him exchanging spells with other wizard apprentices in the future.

The scene depicted was one where a tentacle suddenly emerged from one's stomach, holding a staff and unleashing a fireball spell.

No! This mental tentacle of mine looks exactly like the Shaping Hand, a third-level spell used by formal wizards to increase efficiency.

"Deep Blue crawler, scan my brain, find anything unusual!"

[Scan complete, no abnormalities found!]

Raven's mind jolted, and the psychic tentacle immediately retracted into his belly, as if nothing had happened.

"The rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation."

"I'm so weirdly strange that I can fit into both categories!"

"Deep Blue crawler, access my attribute panel."

Name: Raven Age: 16

Race: Human

Constitution: 10.5 Strength: 10.5 Agility: 10.5 Spirit: 16.5

"The Deep Blue crawler uses its mental tentacles to simulate my current success rate in creating basic Bull constructs."

[Current success rate for crafting the basic Minotaur construct: 41%, based on the host's current physical data...]

Including elementary construction techniques can increase the success rate by 3%.

[Including a basic beginner's guide to Warcraft can increase the success rate by 2%]

[Inclusion in basic materials science improves the success rate by 2%]

……

"Just as I thought!"

Raven examined it carefully and discovered that as long as he had included Elementary Construct Studies, the success rate of crafting the Bull Construct was as high as 53%...

It's important to know that a novice construct master can only achieve a success rate of no more than 30% when crafting a basic construct. An intermediate construct master's success rate is slightly higher, but still no more than 40%. Only advanced construct masters can achieve a success rate of over 50% or even higher.

"Fight, fight, fight... Keep going! After we finish, we'll go get a loan tomorrow... This gene potion smells amazing, but the wizarding world is equally tempting!"

"Only children make choices; they want both..."

Raven's eyes reddened as he looked at the remaining three universal gene serums. Without hesitation, he immediately injected them.

The effects of these three injections were noticeably weak. After the injections, Raven's physical attributes, such as his constitution, only increased by a fraction of a second. The last injection was like injecting saline solution.

"Once I finish collecting all these paid courses, my basic 'Bull Form' build will be pretty much complete!"

"Finally, I can escape my fate of being a homeless person!"

"A 53% success rate."

It's time for me to try making a basic bull construct myself.

"I'll go to the goblin bank for a loan tomorrow! With this first pot of gold, I can go to Colton to complete all the paid knowledge I need, and then I can become a junior construct master..."

"I'll explore this wasteland slowly once I become a powerful second-level wizard apprentice."

……

In the underground world, the dark wizards of the Norlan Wizarding Academy built an underground city called Locke, a place that inspires awe in all dark creatures.

The Underground Wizarding World, Locke.

After hundreds of years of hard work by the dark wizards, this place is now a metropolis with millions of people.

There is no racial segregation here; magic stones are the best passport.

Raven wrapped himself tightly in his black apprentice robe, trying to minimize his presence as he walked through the bustling crowd.

"Mushrooms... mushrooms, give me mushrooms!"

To his left, a half-orc, over three meters tall, was clumsily carrying boxes of ore. The half-orc's face was covered in wounds, and his expression was blank.
