Chapter 104
The trip to Somar Desert was concluded .
The allocated time for the quest was fifteen days, but Han Xiao took only six days to complete it .
As Farian Company's carrier aircraft landed in Morning Wind City's airport, Han Xiao rushed to Hotel Victoria without a break to complete his quest at the Blood Pact Society's floor .
The server quickly reported it to the higher management level . Soon, the person in-charge came to receive Han Xiao .
In a private VIP lounge, Han Xiao was leaning comfortable on the sofa as he waited for the person in-charge to confirm his quest details .
On an unknown floor, a Dark Net recorder opened the bounty page for the Rose Militant and updated the activity log .
"688 . 4 . 1, Code Name – Mr . Black (Scorpion)
"Date: 688 . 4 . 7
"Assignment completed . "
This report was sent to the database, so at the same time, all assassins of the Blood Pact Society received a text message about the removal of the Rose Militant assignment .
…
"Mr . Black, your bounty assignment has been verified . We will immediately transfer the funds into your account . "
Ding!
Han Xiao looked at the computer—his Dark Net account had just received three million dollars, which amounted to five million dollars in his account . He realized that the rate of profit from doing bounty hunter assignments was way faster than making machinery .
It was a killing .
In the old days, this assignment was completed by a fifteen-member team, so the profit was divided equally between everyone . This time, Han Xiao took the profit alone, making it a colossal windfall .

——————————————————————
Han Xiao's eyes shimmered . Gene-blending potion was a very powerful game item—it was chiefly used to reduce the failure and mutation rate of biochemicals!
Biochemicals were a common type of drug for increasing character stats, but any use of biochemicals came with inherently risks, which included the possibility of a decrease in stat points and malignant mutations . Additionally, different biochemicals would have conflicts that resulted in further side effects . Gene-blending potion could remove these inherent risks of biochemicals to a certain degree .
No wonder . If I did not risk going into the abandoned base and discover the Felonia Serum, this special reward would not have been useful .
Han Xiao suddenly understood the crux of the matter . The rewards of this quest were linked closely to his actions . This potion was the extra reward for exploring the place, and Subject 002 was akin to a mini-boss that guarded the blood serum .
His cautiousness during the exploration helped him avoid many more difficult barriers . The footsteps of the pilgrims were secretly hinting the player in the correct direction . If he had ignored the hint and walked in the opposite direction, he would have been surrounded and attacked by a bunch of test subjects and Desert Necro-worms .
If he feared the monster and moved to the left side, he would have missed discovering the blood serum .
And if he had moved to the right side while using a torch, he would have triggered the battle with Subject 002 at the first gate . The small passageway would not have allowed him to evade and move forward properly . He was highly likely to have retreated .
Lastly, if he had continued exploring greedily after getting the blood serum, he would have suffered the same consequences as the first scenario .
The reward was really a pleasant surprise; Han Xiao could not wait to research it . After submitting the assignment, he got up and was about to leave . However, the person in-charge suddenly said, "Mir . Black . May I ask you to stay in the Morning Wing City for two days? An important guest wants to meet with you . "
"Important guest?" Han Xiao was puzzled .
"An emissary from the Rothschild family, the client for the Rose Militant assignment . He hopes to meet up with you . "
Could it be to do with Felonia? Han Xiao's eyes flashed before he said, "Please inform him that I will be glad to meet up with him . "
The person in-charge was delighted . "Alright then . "
Han Xiao left Hotel Victoria and went back to Antonio's base . He immediately entered his temporary workshop and took out the Felonia serum and the gene-blending Potion .
The Felonia serum had a yellow fluorescence . It was sealed nicely and thus did not go bad after so many years .
The gene-blending potion was as dense as mercury, and it had little shiny star-like sparkles that made it glitter .
To use or not to use? That was the question .
The Felonia serum was a secret game item that he had never seen before this . The gene-blending potion would greatly reduce the risk of using it, so it was rather safe .
After Han Xiao calculated his chance of success, he decided to roll the dice . With the help of the gene-blending potion, even if the serum failed, he would not become like the muscular and ugly-looking test subjects .
He took out a syringe and a catheter . He then poked the syringe into the vein on his arm, injecting the gene-blending potion first .
A cool and refreshing sensation was carried by his blood circulation and distributed throughout his body . He felt as if he had just taken a refreshing bite of ice-cream in the blazing summer heat . His mind was simultaneously calmed . The gene-blending potion was not harmful to the body, and if it was not activated by a biochemical, its effect would gradually disappear .
Han Xiao took a deep breadth before he started injecting the blood serum . The fluorescent serum passed through the catheter and entered his bloodstream .
The feeling of his body swelling was instantly felt!
"Hiss…" Han Xiao gritted his teeth . He was spasming due to the overwhelming pain he felt throughout his entire body . He felt as if the interior of his body had been blown up into a paste—bones smashed into ashes, blood vessels broken apart, and muscles melted . The insufferable pain hit his brain without a stop, and he almost fainted!
'Real' players had only needed to rely on progress bars for using in-game items and making machinery . Therefore, the maximum pain they could feel was limited .
But Han Xiao had to experience the pain in reality!
Of course, being able to experience the reality was more advantageous to him . He had already gained a lot of benefits from it . True pain was just the required cost of the deal .
After some unknown amount of time, the overwhelming pain gradually subsided . Han Xiao's eyes were filled with blood vessels, and he exhaled a heavy heap of murky air . He felt his nerves had suffered a horrifying torture .
He took a look at his body and was glad to find that it did not change . He did not become a muscular monster . It was still the same old handsome-looking body .
He did not have the energy to read his interface during the process, but now that it was over, he realized that it was flooded with lines and lines of information .
