Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

After activating his genetic potential, Li Aozi's mind quickly became clear, his body temperature fell back to normal, and although he was still in a weak state, his health points began to slowly recover. He estimated that he would be back to normal by tomorrow morning.

He stole a glance: Assistant Doctor Anna and others were still busy nearby, monitoring his health status. Not far away, armed security personnel stood on both sides, ready to form a firepower net to prevent unexpected events if any issues arose.

"Very experienced in handling situations."

Li Aozi was a bit surprised. These humanitarian physicians from the Outer World were more cautious than those of the Amy Pharmaceutical Group from the Sky Ring.

The latter often caused leaks of escaped bio-beasts or high-risk experimental subjects due to the carelessness of the operators or experimental accidents, as common as Tumu covering the site with dust. Players were frequently harassed by the monsters "honorably produced" by these situations.

In contrast, the Mingji people were well-trained and maintained a rigorous attitude, possessing both quality and technology. This made Li Aozi desperately want to throw a pack of explosives at the headquarters of Amy Pharmaceuticals.

With someone outside monitoring his health status, Li Aozi couldn't be bothered to communicate. He closed his eyes and inspected his personal information.

"As soon as I got the specialty, my attributes immediately went up."

[Gravity] wasn't a very aggressive form of arcane energy, not being particularly powerful in terms of destructive force, and the range in the early stages wasn't that great. It also had a high difficulty in mastering and required long-term exploration to understand.

But Li Aozi didn't care.

Strength? A lie fabricated by capitalism!

[Gravity] arcane energy was one of the four fundamental forces in the cosmic and also one of the arcane energies required for the position of [Meteor Fall Master].

Despite the rocky start, once he entered the cosmic, those cosmic soldiers would understand what a "Shipbreaker" truly meant!

"Unfortunately, the Gene Awakening Elixir could only be used once. Now, the gene fragments in my body have already started leaking, and my life expectancy is probably only around 20 years."

Li Aozi didn't mind. It was a necessary sacrifice; seasoned veterans all knew that there were no free lunches, and things that seemed free were often the most expensive.

"The number of arcane energies a person could bear shouldn't be too many, otherwise the genetic pressure would be too great, leading to a collapse. Similarly, the Mingji people's [Ersha Drug-VI Trial], although theoretically I could get three doses... without special means, it might awaken some unexpected arcane energies in me."

Li Aozi pondered for a moment. Initially pressed for time, he didn't have the leisure to worry about genetic collapse. Things were different now; he had some balance in his account, but this was reserved for exchanging resources with NPCs.

So, what should he do next?

"I still have to grind faction favorability with Mingji, and I must save up faction contribution value."

Li Aozi didn't hesitate.

After all, he wasn't playing a game. He was a living, breathing person, and being able to get [Gravity] arcane energy was already considered lucky.

Mingji Humanity was not the official game developers; lack of quality control was also a concern.

The worst-case scenario would be consuming three doses of [Ersha Drug-VI Trial], without acquiring a single arcane energy needed for becoming a [Meteor Fall Master], ending up with three worthless ones instead.

Still, Li Aozi was unwilling to waste the opportunity. He calculated that, with his constitution being 5 points, theoretically, he could consume 15 doses of genetic potential release-related drugs.

After all, this wasn't the cosmic. The technology level on Azure Star was still at the boiling water stage and was nowhere near capable of genetic modifications and targeted gene optimizations.

In essence, both the [Ersha Drug-VI Trial] and [Omega-level Gene Awakening Drug] were means of artificially breaking gene sequences. The difference was merely in how much and where they broke, and what gene fragments they released.

Some people were born in Rome, while others were born as mules.

High-level civilizations mostly had genetic optimization engineering. Some geniuses awakened arcane energy at birth, equivalent to directly stepping into the prerequisites for becoming a [Psychic].

"I better prepare for the worst. I need to grind out a specialty related to constitution to enhance my constitution attribute. If 15 tries don't work, then 25, even 30! I refuse to believe I can't get one!"

What made Li Aozi so determined wasn't something noble.

But during version 2.5, the Galaxy Civilization was supposed to come to annihilate Azure Star.

"If I don't reach level 60 before version 2.0 arrives, I won't stand a chance of survival."

This was no joke. Li Aozi knew Azure Star's doom better than anyone. When the sparkling fireworks bloomed, not even the players were spared. Players who didn't evacuate in time had their Azure Star accounts forcibly deleted and were transferred to a new server only after seven days.

In version 2.1.7 of "Starry Abyss", a fatal bug appeared on the Azure Star server. Initially, no one paid attention, allowing it to develop. By version 2.4.8, people were horrified to discover that this bug made the game almost unplayable. If left to expand, the entire nebula data might have to be removed entirely.

The official developer seized the opportunity, bringing the Galaxy Civilization, which wasn't supposed to appear in this version, as a patch in version 2.5. The patch helped the players permanently eliminate the bug—at the cost of humanity's mother star civilization being completely obliterated.

Players might complain and regret, cursing at the unfair developers for not even offering maintenance compensation, but for Li Aozi, who had lived on Azure Star, among the 56 players who operated the Galaxy Fleet's Star Annihilator Cannon, he was one of them!
