"That's true. I was the one who personally put all these gene mutation eggs on the shelves when they were stocked. If there were any, I should have noticed them long ago." Henry Lincoln shook his head, feeling that he was being a bit too greedy. Being able to possess such a fire seed was already an unimaginable miracle—how could he expect to have many more?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Henry Lincoln went to the shop.

The shop he ran was a claw egg shop, similar to the once-popular claw machine arcades. Inside each claw machine, there were several gene mutation eggs, and by inserting coins, customers could try to grab one of the eggs.

Of course, the chances of successfully grabbing one were set extremely low, making it basically a sure-win business.

"Fifth Brother, there still aren't many people today." The shop assistant Grace Carter saw Henry Lincoln come in, walked out from behind the counter, glanced at the empty shop, and said worriedly, "Fifth Brother, we need to find a way to get some high-level gene mutation eggs, or else all our business will be stolen by the surprise egg shop next door."

"Mm." Henry Lincoln nodded slightly but didn't say much.

He was the fifth child in his family, with three older brothers and one older sister, so Grace Carter usually called him Fifth Brother.

"The surprise egg shop next door is really bullying us. Their staff blatantly came to our shop entrance today to pull customers, and even said that all our gene mutation eggs are trash, and the claw is so loose that even if you catch one, it's still garbage..." Grace Carter said indignantly.

But Henry Lincoln wasn't in the mood to listen to her complaints, because his attention was completely drawn to one of the claw machines—he was staring fixedly at it.

To be precise, he was attracted by a gene mutation egg inside that claw machine, because he saw that strange mosaic again.

"There's actually another one?" Henry Lincoln was overjoyed and a little incredulous as he walked up to the claw machine, staring at the gene mutation egg wrapped in mosaic inside. He said urgently to Grace Carter, "Go get the key."

After Grace Carter brought the key, Henry Lincoln opened the claw machine and took out the mosaic gene mutation egg, examining it carefully in his hand.

Although this gene mutation egg was different in type and size from the previous one, the mosaic's radiance was about the same.

"Fifth Brother, is there something wrong with this gene mutation egg?" Grace Carter asked in confusion.

"Don't you think there's something different about this gene mutation egg?" Henry Lincoln didn't answer, but asked in return.

"What's different? Isn't it just a steel-class Little Blade Demon gene mutation egg?" Grace Carter looked it over from left to right but couldn't see anything unusual, her face full of confusion.

"Watch the shop carefully. I have something to do and will head back first." Henry Lincoln didn't say more and left with the gene mutation egg.

He was extremely puzzled. Because business had been bad lately, the gene mutation eggs in the claw machines had been there for a week, or even longer. He had looked at them countless times and hadn't noticed anything like this before. So why did a gene mutation egg with a mosaic suddenly appear now?

Henry Lincoln couldn't figure out why there was suddenly another gene mutation egg with a mosaic. After returning home and studying it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out how to transfer the fire seed to himself.

In fact, Henry Lincoln still hadn't figured out how the mosaic from the previous gene mutation egg had transferred to him.

He had studied that gene mutation egg for a long time, unable to understand why there was a mosaic. Later, he fell asleep from exhaustion with the gene mutation egg by his side. When he woke up, the mosaic on the gene mutation egg was gone, and there was new fire seed information in his mind.

"Looks like I can only try again. Hopefully, it'll work." Henry Lincoln lay on the bed, placed the gene mutation egg beside him, tossed and turned for a long time unable to sleep, and didn't know how much time had passed before he finally drifted off.

When Henry Lincoln woke up the next day, his first reaction was to quickly check the gene mutation egg beside him.

At that moment, Henry Lincoln felt as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit—every pore in his body seemed to be cheering with joy.

The mosaic on the gene mutation egg had disappeared, and there was another fire seed's information in his mind.

Chapter 002 The Second Fire Seed

[Failed Super Gene Evolution Fire Seed—Seven Steps of Combat: Beyond seven steps, the gun is faster; within seven steps, I am faster.]

Henry Lincoln felt as if he had taken a stimulant, wanting nothing more than to do a backflip and a 720-degree Thomas spin right then and there.

Everyone knows that for ordinary people, beyond seven steps the gun is faster, and within seven steps the gun is still fast and accurate. The idea that within seven steps the hand is faster than the gun is just human wishful thinking.

If it weren't for the previous fire seed "Acupoint Striking" being proven real, Henry Lincoln would never have believed such a thing. But now, he just wanted to find a gun and test whether these Seven Steps of Combat were really that miraculous.

However, in Henry Lincoln's opinion, the Seven Steps of Combat fire seed wasn't as good as Acupoint Striking, because some high-level gene mutators might be faster than bullets, so this talent wasn't as powerful as Acupoint Striking.

But for humans who haven't undergone gene mutation, this was truly an incredible ability—and that wasn't even the main point.
