"What's a Gene Unlocking Pill? It sounds much cooler than my Limit Breaker pills." I joked lightly.
But the three of them were too shocked to pay my weak attempt at a joke any heed.
"A Gene Unlocking Pill does exactly what you just ntioned. Raise the cap of our body's limit to a level that is even higher than our genes can theoretically achieve, past the complications and negative mutations passed down from generation to generation!" Jack Yang exclaid in wonder.
"Hmmm? That sounds like a Gene Optimizing Pill. Or a Gene Cleansing Pill. What's the difference?" I asked in slight confusion.
"A Gene Cleansing Pill is like a car wash for a car. It works to clean the impurities in our genes that impede the physical manifestation of what the genes actually have in them.
It is different from a Gene Optimizing Pill which is like a car chanic. It will fix the errors within the gene code itself, which will cause a weakened physical manifestation even without any impurities to impede it
A Gene Unlocking Pill however… is like the car factory itself. It will not only fix the gene code, depending on the strength of the pill, it will unlock the potential of the gene code and modify the code to make it stronger!" Jack Yang explained.
"Oh. I don't think that's what my Limit Breaker Pills do. They just raise your physical cap. I am not sure if they did anything to your genes…" I said in consternation as I recalled the words in the brief description of the treasure.
"Nope. No ntion of genes in the label." I confird.
"Does it matter? If it does what you just said it would, then I would receive the benefits of a Gene Unlocking Pill. That's worth a lot. A couple billion dollars at least." Barrick Rui said while patting his tummy happily.
"A COUPLE BILLION DOLLARS!?" It was my turn to shout. But I frowned deeply for a mont as my brain ca up empty on the things I could buy with two billion dollars. "That sounds like a lot of money."
"It is a lot. And with the current market, you won't be able to get your hands on one even if you have the money. So it might even be as expensive as ten, eleven billion dollars right now.
For three pills at once? At least fifty billion." Barrick Rui said with a smile. "You're a good big brother to follow. Bring us more such goodies plea- WHAT THE BLEEDING F***?!"
Barrick Rui stared at the little box that I just took out which was filled with such "Gene Unlocking Pills".
Around fifty or so.
Roland Hu pointed a shaky finger at the box and said in a whimpery voice.
"Is… is that… are those…"
Barrick Rui, however, did the only thing a best friend could do.
He sighed and stretched out his hand.
"Big bro, how can you keep so many to yourself! Give five at least. Two for my parents, two for my siblings, and one for my safety net just in case I need the money."
I grinned at them and gave each of them ten pills.
"I don't think your bodies can support more than one. So either give the pills to your families or save them for a rainy day."
Nothing buys loyalty better than wealth or riches.
At ten years old, I just gave them wealth beyond anything they could imagine.
And if I could give them such insane wealth at such an age, what would they get if they followed for the rest of their lives?
That's just how the human mind works.
Cost and benefits is our primary point of consideration.
Brotherhood would go beyond that, of course, but brotherhood is a hallowed level of relationship whose path is strewn with difficulty.
Difficulty which would be made easier to traverse with treasure.
Lots of treasure.
"Thanks." Barrick Rui said happily. That fat bastard truly is a materialistic bastard. He didn't even smile when he saw again after my disappearing act.
But after receiving the treasures from , he was smiling like the smiling buddha. What a dickhead.
And Barrick Rui being Barrick Rui, showing him one treasure only made him think you have more.
"What other treasure do you have? Co now don't be stingy. I am sure there is more where that ca from!" He said eagerly, a vast contrast to Roland Hu and Jack Yang who were still staring dumbfounded at the massive amount of wealth on their hands.
"Of course there's more." I said automatically and slid my hand into my pocket. Barrick Rui's eyes glead and widened in greedy anticipation.
I took my hand out and then proceeded to give him a powerful whack on his head!
Bam!!
"There! I got a whole lot of that in my trip! Let share them with you!" I shouted and started to puml him with punches.
"Ow! Owww!!! Bastard! Give so to Roland and Jack too!"
"They didn't ask for more treasure! You did! Now eat this!"
Bam. Bam. Bam.
I gave him a proper beating that morning for being so greedy.
Not too hard, of course, he's my brother.
But not too lightly either, since he's a greedy bastard.
Ten minutes later, we were eating our breakfast with gusto.
Tes, Olivia, Elise, Eliana, Sherry, Sheera, Victor, Gerald and Hailey were there with us.
As before, I distributed the goods to them, and like the other three idiots, they ate them without asking anything beforehand.
That our friendship had progressed to such unquestioning trust was nothing less than a miracle to , who did not have a single person I could even call acquaintance, much less a friend, before the whole thing with Devour and Emma.
But of course it wasn't just unquestioning trust. Especially for the Longs and the Wangs. All of them were pretty smart, and they knew treasure when they saw one.
"They are sex change pills!" Roland Hu announced with a devious smile on his face.
