Chapter 41 of "Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation" unveils a new twist: Ding Huan smiled, "I naturally trust the proprietress." The woman smiled even more broadly as she... See what happens!

Ding Huan smiled, "I naturally trust the proprietress." The woman smiled even more broadly as she reached out to Ding Huan, "Let's get acquainted, Mu Tingyun. These two are my friends, Zhao Quan and Fei Tongtong." Ding Huan reached out and shook hands with Mu Tingyun, "It's an honor to meet you. My name is Ding Wuchen, a medicinal herb merchant who considers the world his home." "Brother Ding really is an open-minded man. But you haven't misjudged; Ting Yun is the most honest boss I have ever met," said Zhao Quan, who also stood up to shake hands with Ding Huan. Mu Tingyun was very efficient, and in just a short amount of time, she had written the receipt for the Demon Core deposit and brought over five hundred thousand in cash. Ding Huan had many things to attend to and, upon receiving the receipt and cash, immediately stood up to take his leave. Mu Tingyun personally saw Ding Huan out of the store. Returning to the backyard of the store, Zhao Quan was still admiring that Demon Core. "Brother Zhao, this Demon Core is really remarkable. If I'm not mistaken, this comes from a Third-level Genetic Beast," Mu Tingyun commented after coming back. Demons Cores were incredibly valuable; some martial artists could even attempt to break through to the Earth level with the help of a Demon Core. Of course, the level of the Demon Core had to be high enough, and whether a Third-level Demon Core could boost someone to Earth-level Martial Artist was something Mu Tingyun also did not know. On Earth, there was no distinction between demon cores and Demon Cores. Yet on Changyi Continent, a demon core had to travel a long and arduous journey to become a Demon Core. Zhao Quan sighed, "It's not just good, it's definitely a freshly harvested Demon Core. I've heard that a Black Ape leading a group of Fierce Beasts attacking Lujiang was killed on the outskirts of Penglu Mountain, and its head was split open..." "Brother Zhao, do you mean this Demon Core belonged to that Black Ape?" Mu Tingyun exclaimed in surprise. Zhao Quan shook his head, "I'm not sure, and I'm also not certain that the Black Ape had a Demon Core." In Zhao Quan's understanding, usually, a Genetic Beast would certainly have a Demon Core upon reaching the Fourth level. But whether or not Genetic Beasts below the Fourth level had a Demon Core was a matter of luck. In fact, since Earth encountered the Genetic Beast upheaval, only three Fourth-level Genetic Beasts had been found. One Genetic Beast was killed, and its Demon Core was obtained by the Genetic Alliance. The other two Genetic Beasts managed to escape human encirclement—one fled, the other was seriously wounded and went missing. "This person is really too bold; this Demon Core could sell for tens of millions or even a billion Alliance currency at an auction, yet this person left with just five hundred thousand," Fei Tongtong lamented. Zhao Quan slightly smiled, "Not to mention that Ting Yun definitely won't stick his Demon Core up, even if we met someone who doesn't play by the rules. Think about it—if he can kill a Third-level Genetic Beast, would he worry about Ting Yun not giving him his goods?" "That's true," Fei Tongtong nodded. However, Mu Tingyun said, "Brother Zhao, this person should be quite young, and he has disguised himself." At first, Mu Tingyun felt that Ding Huan had disguised himself but was not certain. After shaking hands with him, she knew she wasn't wrong. Zhao Quan nodded, "If it is as he says, and he owes a large loan to the bank, it's normal for him not to dare show his face. But there are many people who owe the bank loans; they act like they don't care at all, so there's no need for him to be so cautious..." At that moment, something seemed to occur to Zhao Quan. Mu Tingyun also appeared to realize something, and the two exchanged glances without continuing the conversation. ... Ding Huan had already arrived at Pu Hai Gene Research Institute with his bag on his back. There are seventeen gene research institutes in Pu Hai, and that doesn't even include the colleges, the Genetic Alliance, and the gene laboratories of some large enterprises and families. Any Genetic Research Institute must have a gene laboratory. Though there were many Genetic Research Institutes, there were not many Genetic Scholars, and many laboratories were often vacant. By renting these unused laboratories to private genetic researchers and small enterprises, they could recoup some of their investments. Pu Hai Gene Research Institute was slightly out of the way, and since it was the enrollment period for Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, who would be focused on genetic experiments? Ding Huan easily rented the best laboratory at the Institute for a price within his budget, twenty thousand for a day. Any damage would be compensated at the original price. As soon as he entered the laboratory, Ding Huan locked the door and hung a "Do Not Disturb" sign for experiments, then began to sort out his medical herbs. Once he had acquired the Mutated Fire Lizard, Ding Huan wanted to create a Genetic Potion that suited his own abilities, which involved not only finding the complete skill gene chain but also adding various medical herbs to alter the gene chain. ... "Mr. Geng!" Fang Chong was the first to return after completing his exam. He called out to Geng Qianxing once, but there was no response. It wasn't until Fang Chong called out a second time that Geng Qianxing suddenly snapped to attention. "Fang Chong, you're back? How did the exam go? Did Li Wanran and Lv Zi also finish their exams?" Geng Qianxing had been preoccupied with Ding Huan and his own genetic endurance, somewhat distracted. "Mr. Geng, we've finished our exams too." Li Wanran's voice came, followed by Lv Zi. "Do you know your results?" Geng Qiangxing collected his thoughts, realizing that no matter what, the assessment of his three students was what mattered most. "We don't know yet, but they should be displayed on the ranking screens very soon," said Li Wanran. "Yes, yes..." Geng Qianxing had just said 'yes' twice when a wave of noisy cheers erupted from Examination Area number thirty-eight. "Mr. Geng, the results are out, and Lv Zi is still in first place," Fang Chong exclaimed excitedly. That was because he had seen his own results too, leaping from seventh to third place. And the first place was Lv Zi, second place was Li Wanran, and he, Fang Chong, was third. In other words, this time Yujiang University had decisively secured the top three spots. Geng Qianxing also put aside his concerns and clenched his fists, saying, "Good, all of you did well." "Mr. Geng, we were just the first batch to take the exam, so being in the top three might only be temporary," Li Wanran remarked. But Fang Chong chuckled dismissively and said, "Look at our genetic compatibility lengths, we are all S-level. With two rounds of S-level assessments, how many people could surpass us?" "We have already been surpassed," Li Wanran interjected, glancing at Fang Chong. Fang Chong looked up to see his own name now in fourth place, with Li Wanran dropping to third. The second spot was taken by a student from America named Alvin. "I know this guy; he was second in the previous round as well," Fang Chong immediately said. Geng Qianxing gave Fang Chong a pat, "So you should always be humble at any time, never thinking you are the best in the world." "Yes, Mr. Geng is right," Fang Chong replied with a grin, likely not taking Geng Qianxing's words to heart. It's not surprising that Fang Chong is proud. In Geng Qianxing's eyes, he may indeed have dropped to fourth place, but now, in the entire Examination Area thirty-eight... No, even the entire Pu Hai Martial Arts Square, how many people looked at them without envy? With consecutive S-level ranks and confidence from practicing basic martial arts, getting into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges was a sure thing. Throughout the day of assessment, names on the big screen at the square went up and down. But the names of Yujiang University's Lv Zi, Li Wanran, and Fang Chong remained steady as a rock, hovering within the top five no matter the changes. At the end of the first day of assessment, Geng Qianxing and his three students exited the Pu Hai Martial Arts Square only to be swarmed by numerous enthusiastic fans. Even Tan Bei now found it difficult to exchange a word with Geng Qianxing, but he was willing to wait. These past days, he had been smiling so much that his mouth never closed; even though the examination for the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges wasn't over, he had already received intentions of investment from many conglomerates for Yujiang University. Now he wasn't worried about Yujiang University closing down, but rather about which investor to choose. From the Pu Hai Martial Arts Square to the hotel they were staying in was only about a ten-minute walk, but it took Geng Qianxing and the others over an hour to arrive, sweating profusely as they entered the Tinghuan Hotel. Unlike their initial arrival when they were surrounded upon entering the Tinghuan Hotel, security had been improved. Those who were not staying there couldn't get in anymore. For the Tinghuan Hotel, Yujiang University was now the face of their brand. The results of Yujiang University in this recruitment assessment increased the hotel's fame by two notches. How could they let unrelated people bother such a money tree? So, upon entering the hotel this time, Geng Qianxing and his group breathed a sigh of relief for the tranquility. Geng Qianxing wiped his sweat and pocketed a stack of business cards. Let alone Geng Qianxing receiving a stack of cards, even the three students each had a stack in their hands. Various offers of sponsorship, matchmaking, challenges... "Mr. Geng, could we talk when you have time?" A woman approached Geng Qianxing as soon as he arrived at the Tinghuan Hotel, smiling as she spoke. "Who might you be?" Geng Qianxing felt the woman in front of him looked somewhat familiar. The woman smiled and said, "My name is Qin Qiang, from Martial Vein Mountain." Li Wanran exclaimed in surprise, "Are you Dean Qin?" As one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, who didn't know of Martial Vein Mountain? Qin Qiang, as the dean of Martial Vein Mountain, might not be seen by most people, but her reputation was well-known. Qin Qiang nodded and continued with a gentle smile, "Yes, I am Qin Qiang. If you don't mind, we could talk over there." As she spoke, Qin Qiang gestured towards a nearby café.
