Chapter 189: Dinosaur Gene Cultivation Function
"Rustle… rustle…"
Everyone set foot on this unfamiliar island.
The ground was covered in damp, decaying leaves, and the air carried a corrosive stench. Wherever they walked, clear footprints were left behind.
"Hiss—"
A sound rang out.
Splat!
They saw the Crocodile Emperor reach out with one huge hand and instantly seize something on the tree that was trying to ambush them.
It was a snake—ten meters long and as thick as an arm. Its entire body was a dull gray, its scales glinting with light that showed its defensive strength was far from weak. And the row of sharp teeth in its mouth, gleaming with a cold sheen, made it clear this was no ordinary snake.
No one knew whether the snake had lost its footing or the monster fish below had gone astray.
"Hiss—"
The strange snake opened its grotesque mouth to a full 180 degrees and bit back toward the Crocodile Emperor's hand.
In an instant, the Crocodile Emperor's entire arm was coated in a layer of Armament Haki.
Clang…
Several sparks flashed as a few teeth shattered and flew off.
The recoil stunned the strange snake, leaving it dazed, its head drooping downward.
Jiang Qize glanced at the strange snake and didn't pay it any mind.
Just as he was about to look away—
[Ding! A large number of mutant beast genes detected. Dinosaur Gene Cultivation function unlocked!]
The sudden system notification made him stop.
"A new function unlocked?"
Jiang Qize was instantly delighted.
The last time a new function had been unlocked, it gave him the absurdly overpowered Dinosaur Fruits. This time, with another new function, it shouldn't be any worse than the Recycling function, right?
He immediately opened the system interface.
[Host]: Jiang Qize
[Age]: 19
[Strength]: Marine Headquarters pseudo-admiral
[Abilities]: Conqueror's Haki, Armament Haki, Observation Haki · Voice of All Things
[Beli]: 180 million
[Summon], [Enhance], [Synthesize], [Recycle], [Gene Cultivation]
He tapped on [Gene Cultivation].
[Gene Cultivation]: Can record all biological genes. Using dinosaurs as the base, cultivate new forms of dinosaurs. (100 million Beli)
Seeing this, Jiang Qize frowned slightly.
Wasn't this the same as Synthesis?
And it even cost 100 million Beli per cultivation.
Synthesis only cost 180 million Beli.
But a system feature wouldn't be that simple.
He began to think carefully.
Camon and the others saw him stop and said nothing, quietly waiting.
"All biological genes… new forms of dinosaurs…"
"Could it be that the newly cultivated dinosaur forms get recorded in the system, so they can be summoned directly later?"
Jiang Qize 's eyes suddenly lit up as he thought of this possibility.
If that were the case, this function would be insanely powerful.
He could completely cultivate a super dinosaur—a flawless dinosaur—and then use Summon to bring out an entire force of super dinosaur powerhouses.
"We'll know if that's true once I try it later,"
he muttered.
He then walked over to the Crocodile Emperor and grabbed the strange snake. The system showed no reaction.
Then he suddenly squeezed.
Squish…
The snake's defensive scales crumpled like tissue paper, instantly crushed into fragments. Blood seeped out through the gaps between his fingers.
[Obtained one portion of Withered Fang Snake genes (contains all genes within the Withered Fang Snake gene chain)]
Ignoring the disgusting mess on his hand, Jiang Qize opened [Gene Cultivation]. Inside was an option called [Gene Repository].
When he opened [Gene Repository], the gene package of the Withered Fang Snake appeared.
[Withered Fang Snake Genes]:
Strength Gene: F-rank
Defense Gene: E-rank
Withered Fang Gene: D-rank
Olfactory Gene…
A whole list of genes was displayed.
"The system's pretty considerate—even gives them ranks," Jiang Qize muttered.
These gene ranks should represent their upper limits…the highest level they could possibly grow to.
"If that's the case, then the Withered Fang Snake's genes aren't very useful,"
he said, shaking his head, then closed the system interface.
