Chapter 45: It Is Time to Make Them Fear

The longer the system’s prompt, the more rewards he received!
Especially this time, he had completed a national-level artifact collection mission!
Last time, after completing a provincial-level mission, he lucked out and got a perfect-grade gene enhancement serum in the lottery. Surely this time’s mysterious exclusive grand prize at the national level wouldn’t be any worse?
Lin Yang was very much looking forward to it!
One minute later, the system’s prompt finally ended.
He couldn’t help but ask eagerly, “System, what could the exclusive mysterious grand prize possibly be this time?”
“The host is informed that the exclusive mysterious grand prize has two types of lottery draws. The first type is similar to the previous prize wheel. However, the quality of items available is guaranteed to be at least two tiers above your current civilization level. In other words, the worst item you can draw is from a third-tier civilization, but the type of prize is random.”
“The second type is a blind box draw. You may select a specific category of reward, such as weapons, technology, or gene serums. However, please note that the quality of items is completely random.”
“This means you could either draw an artifact from a super-advanced civilization or end up with junk from a low-level civilization!”
These two modes made Lin Yang pause for a moment.
The first mode was basically the same as last time’s lottery, except this time there was a guaranteed minimum quality—no worse than third-tier civilization items. Although the categories were random and might include both useful and useless items, it was very tempting.
The second mode was like an enhanced version of the first with limited categories, allowing him to focus on a particular type of item he needed. That was practical, but the completely random quality was a risk.
“I thought the exclusive mysterious grand prize would be a direct reward of some high-level item, but it’s still a lottery!”
Lin Yang couldn’t help but complain.
“Answering the host, though both modes involve lotteries, the first mode guarantees a minimum reward, and the second can be highly targeted under certain circumstances. Both are significantly better than the provincial mission rewards.”
“It’s just that your luck was exceptionally good last time to get a perfect gene serum, so these two modes might seem less impressive in comparison.”
“Alright then…” Lin Yang smirked and began to consider which mode to choose.
If he wanted safety, the first mode was best. Currently, Earth was at the lowest first-tier civilization level. Drawing any product from a third-tier civilization would instantly boost the country’s technological level tremendously.
But there was one problem: the jump of two civilization tiers was so great that even the top scientists in the national research institutes might not be able to utilize third-tier technology!
If they had to spend extra time and effort figuring out how to use it, it might be better for him to just exchange more national treasure points for technology directly.
As for the second mode, although it allowed category selection, if luck was bad and the items were of poor quality, it would be a wasted chance. Moreover, he currently had no urgent need for any particular type of item.
For a while, Lin Yang felt conflicted.

Two and a half minutes later.
“Forget it, you can’t have it all. I’ll go with the second mode.”
Without much hesitation, Lin Yang chose the second lottery mode!
Because this mode allowed him to specify gene serums, and even if he drew the worst gene serum, it would still be usable!
“System, I’ve decided. Use the second lottery mode and select the gene serum category!”
“Understood, host. Directed lottery for gene serums activated. Good luck!”
With the system’s words, a prize wheel appeared before Lin Yang again—much smaller this time—and all the items on it were gene serums!
Without hesitation, Lin Yang pressed the virtual button to start.
In an instant, the wheel spun rapidly, and Lin Yang closed his eyes slightly!
This was a test of luck, and he was a little nervous!
The ten-second countdown ended quickly, and the system’s voice sounded again in his ear.
“Congratulations, host. You have drawn a perfect-grade Physical Enhancement Gene Serum.”
Swish!
Lin Yang opened his eyes instantly!
Relieved, he thought, another perfect-grade enhancement serum!
His luck truly was unbeatable!
“System, what exactly does the Physical Enhancement Gene Serum do?”
The next moment, he asked directly.
“Answering host, the Physical Enhancement Gene Serum comprehensively strengthens your physical constitution, increasing your current physical capabilities by approximately five times!”
“Ah? That strong?”
Lin Yang was startled.

“Does that mean my strength will be five times greater than now?”
“Yes, host, you can understand it that way. Additionally, with your enhanced physique, you will hardly catch common illnesses such as colds.”
“So, does that make me a superhuman?” Lin Yang blinked.
“Answering host, the enhancement only makes you physically stronger than an average person. It does not transform you into the superhuman you might imagine.”
“Oh, that’s still very impressive.”
“Would you like to take the Physical Enhancement Gene Serum immediately? Please note that the enhancement is comprehensive, and you will need to sleep for at least forty-eight hours. Please plan your time accordingly.”
“Sleep that long? I’ll wait for now!”
Lin Yang shook his head promptly. Calculating the time, seven days had passed.
Zhao Zijin should have completed the improved intercontinental missile by now. He didn’t want to miss the moment Xiaoyinghua got humiliated!
Almost at the same moment he had that thought, an email arrived in his inbox from the National Academy.
It was from Zhao Zijin, informing him that the upgraded intercontinental missile had been successfully produced—three units in total—and asking if he wanted to make the news public immediately!
Along with the email, Lin Yang received a sudden system notification.
“Congratulations, host. Under your guidance, your nation has developed a new type of intercontinental missile. You are awarded 500 national treasure points!”
“Since this marks the first true creation of technology far surpassing Earth’s civilization under your leadership, you have also earned one achievement point!”
This notification pleasantly surprised Lin Yang. He had only spent 200 national treasure points to exchange for the second-tier intercontinental missile technology, and now he was rewarded 500 points. This was a fantastic deal!
After his excitement, Lin Yang promptly replied to Zhao Zijin’s email, approving immediate public disclosure!
In the National Academy, when Zhao Zijin and the others received Lin Yang’s reply, their eyes gleamed with excitement!
Xiaoyinghua had been overly jubilant these past few days; it was time to make these little fools tremble in fear!
