Community Traversal: I Have a Daily Rescue Kit

26: Identification

Su Chen stared at the pale green vial in his hand, his heart pounding.

This thing must be 100% safe before it can be used.

What if it's actually a zombie virus? That would be a real disaster.

We should get it tested first.

He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen something about detection in the home system before, but he wondered which page it was on.

He opened his laptop.

[Welcome to the Resident Community System, resident Su Chen]

When danger strikes, home is the ultimate haven.

The familiar startup text flashed by, and a 3D model of his room appeared in the center of the screen.

In the upper left corner are four buttons side by side: [Card Center], [Intelligence Messages], [Survival Shop], and [Construction Center].

The Card Center and Intelligence Messages aren't very useful right now. The Card Center is basically a card catalog; you can only see which cards you own, and you can't buy them. The Intelligence Messages are exclusive information given in rescue packs, and others don't have them.

The "Construction Center" function is probably what Lin Yu uses to reinforce the room, right?

He clicked into the [Survival Shop].

The store is filled with a dazzling array of goods, including food and household tools; I flipped through it and was surprised to find there were 199 pages!

He had only glanced at it briefly before, and seeing that it mostly contained food and tools, he hadn't looked at it in detail.

This time he took a closer look and noticed that there was a search box in the upper right corner.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he entered the keyword in the box:

"Identification, testing!"

Clicking the search button causes the screen to jump to display 5 items.

"Basic Appraisal Card!" — 100 Survival Points!

"intermediate……"

There are five levels of appraisal cards, from beginner to expert. The price increases by one zero for each level.

An intermediate-level appraisal card requires 1000 points.

The most expensive top-grade appraisal card actually costs... 1000000 points!

Su Chen glanced at his current points: 585.

I can't afford it, I simply can't afford it.

Poor people can only use the basic ones.

After clicking to purchase, a flash of white light appeared on the desktop, revealing a pure white card.

Is this the preliminary identification card?

Su Chen took out the light green enhancement potion he had traded with Lin Yu, placed it on the card, and silently said: "Appraise."

The white card shattered with a "crack," turning into specks of light that sprinkled onto the potion.

Immediately afterwards, a panel appeared before my eyes:

[Under investigation...]

[Item: Gene Enhancement Potion (Basic)]

[Type: Biochemical/Basic Modification]

Failure rate: 0% (This product is a mature model with no risk of mutation)

[Test conclusion: Safe and injectable]

Su Chen finished reading it word by word and let out a long sigh of relief.

Lin Yu wasn't lying to him. The test results were even more detailed than she had described—clearly stating that the failure rate was zero and the side effects were almost negligible.

This medicine is indeed safe.

He no longer hesitated.

He unscrewed the protective cap of the needle and pressed it into his thigh.

"Pfft..."

Hmm, it doesn't seem as loud as I expected?

It doesn't hurt that much.

Just as I was thinking that, the next second, excruciating pain suddenly swept over my entire body!

Su Chen felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling, scalding hot!

It's so hot!

He felt as if he had fallen into lava, the intense heat almost burning away his sanity. Unconsciously, he began to tear at his clothes, but his movements were still a step too slow—

Bang!

His muscles swelled up instantly, bursting his clothes!

The popularity is still rising.

His body temperature was noticeably elevated, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. The persistent dull pain at the wound on his left arm was replaced by a tingling, numb, and throbbing sensation, as if countless tiny ants were crawling and repairing the damaged bone and muscle. He could clearly feel the swelling slowly subsiding, the bruising dissolving, and the torn muscle fibers being reconnected strand by strand by an invisible hand.

Along with the burning sensation, he also felt an intense itch, so intense that he wanted to tear the skin off his left arm!

But he held back.

The high temperature continued, and sweat kept pouring out, only to be evaporated by the heat on the skin.

puff...

White mist rose from his body, growing thicker and thicker until it enveloped him completely, obscuring his features.

An hour later.

The last wisp of white mist dissipated.

The room was littered with torn fabric.

Su Chen knelt naked on one knee, his right fist pressed tightly against the ground because he had just tried his best to restrain the urge to grab his left arm with his right hand.

The whole scene was like the Terminator making his entrance.

A moment later, Su Chen opened his eyes.

His pupils seemed deeper and brighter, and his eyes held an indescribable sharpness and composure. It wasn't a change in appearance, but a natural expression of his inner state—like a knife sharpened on a whetstone.

He noticed the changes in his body, and a smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

He walked up to the bathroom mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, and was taken aback.

"Is this the effect of the gene serum?"

"I feel like I can control every muscle in my body right now, and even..."

Su Chen tensed his body, easily activated his muscles, and performed several movements that he had only imagined doing before.

First, a ghostly back unfolds.

Next comes the contraction of the back muscles, like a bat spreading its wings.

Then, standing in front of the mirror, he smoothly performed a set of Bruce Lee's classic moves that he remembered.

After finishing his work, he looked at his well-defined, strong physique in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

He's handsome, really handsome.

What about power?

Su Chen left the bathroom, walked to the living room, and easily did fifty push-ups with his hands on the ground.

He was secretly surprised during the process: he had never done it so smoothly before! After fifty repetitions, his body only felt slightly warm.

This medicine is amazing!

He continued to try.

Russian push-ups, Bruce Lee-style dragon flags... all sorts of challenging bodyweight exercises are now a breeze to do.

After thinking for a moment, he walked to the sofa, grabbed it with both hands, and lifted the sofa, which weighed over 200 pounds, directly up.

At this moment, his expression finally changed.

I... I've actually become this strong?

He suddenly thought of Lin Yu. Had that woman been injected with an even more potent drug?

Su Chen pondered this with a hint of surprise.

He turned his head and looked out at the mist.

"It seems it's time to go out and explore."

Strengthening our capabilities is of paramount importance.

Just as I thought of this, a strong feeling of hunger suddenly struck me, like a sudden attack of low blood sugar.

The hunger came suddenly and fiercely, making him feel like he could swallow a whole cow whole.
