Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 237

[Time to Success: 00:00:09]

Sylas watched the timer like a hawk, feeling like he was walking on a tightrope right now.

[Time to Success: 00:00:01]

SHOOOM! A rush of air and golden light spread out, and Sylas felt incredibly light all of a sudden.

[City Conquered]

[Do you want to displace city?]

[Yes][No]

Sylas realized that he could just establish a new city right here. There were certainly penalties for displacing the city, but he didn’t particularly care. He had no intention of starting up a city. He couldn’t afford to be locked down to a single area right now, and even if he could, it wasn’t yet time to shed pretenses with the Grimblade family.

When he moved his intention toward "yes," he received a pleasant surprise.

[Yes Selected]

[You are not a City Lord. Do you want to keep this Fragmented City Stele? Or would you like to sacrifice it for <???> Free Experience?]

The system seemed to be calculating something, and it suddenly spit out a number. The question marks shifted and changed, being rearranged like fluttering runes until they solidified.

<10,000>

Sylas suddenly understood. This Free Experience… could he use it on his Vipermancer Profession? That was a huge amount of Experience. As far as he knew, the only missions that would allow him to collect that much was…

[>Modify Hibernation Realm into Laboratory: 10,000 Experience]

There were no other rewards that even came close to that total. And it seemed that because it was called Free Experience, he could arrange them as he saw fit. Realizing this, Sylas immediately chose to sacrifice the City Stele. Keeping it would do him no good, and in all likelihood, if he did, he might have to hand it over to Lucius.

Although he had already gained quite a bit, especially from the pig demon corpses he had yet to scavenge through, that didn’t mean he liked the idea of others benefiting from his struggle. He felt a swell rush through his body, then felt a change.

[10,000 Free Experience Earned]

Sylas didn’t wait. He immediately began to allocate the experience as he rushed out with Archibald over his shoulder.

[Experience: 0/10,000]

[Path Talent: Extricate Lv4]

[Extricate (Path Talent)]

[>Extricate <F-Rank Silver> Genes]

First, he allocated 150 Experience to Taboo Bond just to check if the Free Experience worked as he expected. He also wanted to see if every Level up really did give him the right to go after stronger Genes. As expected, he could now Extricate Silver Genes. However, he was shocked to see the Leveling requirement to hit the next milestone. But in the end, he calmed down.

He had yet to even see a Silver Gene. Even if he could upgrade to Extricating Gold Genes, it was worthless. However, the benefits of One Kind For Me and Were-for-the-Invincible would be more immediately useful.

[One Kind For Me]
