The next second, the body of the Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner began to change. The metal on its body continuously flowed and contracted, and after a moment, it shrank into a blue metallic capsule about the size of an egg, with the key still inserted into one end of the capsule.

Henry Lincoln put away the pet capsule and the key separately, then walked back to the stands, sat down in his seat, and played with the pet capsule. The information of the Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner was displayed on the capsule, and only the person who possessed the corresponding gene-mutation key could see this information.

Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner: Alloy creature.

Strength: 11.6

Speed: 19.7

Hardness: 9.5

Toughness: 17.6

Gene-mutation talents: Quickdraw, Rapid Fire.

Chapter 012: Gourd Mountain

The attribute limit for alloy creatures is 20. The speed of the Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner was already very close to the limit. There are indeed top-tier Overspeed Quickdraw Gunners with a full twenty points in speed; this one was just a little short, but not by much.

The hardness and strength of the Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner were considered relatively low among alloy creatures, especially since its hardness was not even ten. Some steel creatures could reach this value.

However, this Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner had two gene-mutation talents, and both talents were highly compatible with it, which was quite impressive.

In theory, the upper limit for steel creatures is one gene-mutation talent, for alloy creatures it is two, and for crystal-based creatures it is three.

But that is only the upper limit. In reality, many alloy pets only have one gene-mutation talent, and there are even many pets whose gene-mutation talents do not match their abilities at all.

Overall, the value of this Overspeed Quickdraw Gunner should be quite high. In a place like the Xuan Bird Base, it should be enough to exchange for a set of real estate.

Perhaps it was because of Henry Lincoln's remarkable performance, or maybe because the reputation of The Lincoln Family had always been quite good, but several gene-mutators actually decided on the spot to sign contracts with The Lincoln Family, making them the group with the most sign-ups among the three families.

Unfortunately, George Webb still showed no intention of joining, and it seemed he had no plans to join any family for the time being.

Actually, even if George Webb wanted to sign with The Lincoln Family now, it would be a difficult decision for them.

When Third Master and Fourth Master were around, signing an alloy gene-mutator was no big deal, but now that both are gone, signing an alloy gene-mutator of unknown origin would also be a hassle for The Lincoln Family.

After that, Henry Lincoln basically didn't say much; it was Old Newton who was busy handling things.

Charles Quinn and David Warren were also no longer interested in talking to Henry Lincoln, but instead chatted enthusiastically with Diana White for quite a while. It was clear they wanted to curry favor with Diana White, though Henry Lincoln had never heard Edward Lincoln mention Diana White's background.

“What exactly did Diana White come to Xuan Bird Base for this time?” Henry Lincoln felt a bit of a headache. If it weren't for the unexpected variable of Diana White, today's matters would have been perfectly resolved, but now there was a loose end.

When the recruitment conference ended and Henry Lincoln got up to leave, Diana White naturally followed him. It seemed that unless she figured out Henry Lincoln's identity, she wouldn't give up easily.

“Junior sister, we haven't seen each other for so long, we should have a good chat. If you don't mind, come to my place for a meal,” Henry Lincoln said with a smile.

“Alright.” Seeing Henry Lincoln take the initiative, Diana White agreed.

Of course, Henry Lincoln wouldn't take Diana White to his own place, but instead brought her to where Edward Lincoln lived and arranged for her to rest in the living room.

“Who exactly are you?” Diana White had no intention of sitting down, staring at Henry Lincoln as she asked.

“Who am I, whether I am Edward Lincoln or not—does that really matter to you?” Henry Lincoln replied unhurriedly.

“It matters,” Diana White said directly.

“What matters to you is the person Edward Lincoln, or what this person can do for you? If it's the former, you can rest assured. If it's the latter, you can tell me, and as long as it's within my ability, I won't refuse.” Because of the mosaic covering, Henry Lincoln couldn't see what kind of expression Diana White had after hearing his words.

“Did Edward Lincoln go to Gourd Mountain?” Diana White suddenly asked.

Henry Lincoln was trying to figure out what Gourd Mountain was, and his eyes couldn't help but show a moment of confusion.

“Looks like you really don't know anything.” Diana White, who had been staring into Henry Lincoln's eyes, immediately sensed something, and said with some disappointment as she turned to leave.

Watching Diana White leave, Henry Lincoln was full of confusion. Why did she suddenly decide to leave?

Henry Lincoln turned to look at Old Newton behind him, only to find that Old Newton's expression was very strange, which startled him: “Old Newton, be honest, Third Brother and Fourth Brother didn't really go to that Gourd Mountain, did they?”

Old Newton's expression was complicated. After a long silence, he finally seemed to make up his mind and said, “Originally, Third Master and Fourth Master didn't want you, Little Fifth Brother, to know about this, but now the situation is complicated, and even outsiders know about Gourd Mountain, so I can't hide it from you anymore.”

“What exactly is Gourd Mountain? Is it somewhere near our base? Why have I never heard of this mountain? What did Third Brother and Fourth Brother go there for?” Henry Lincoln couldn't help but feel anxious. This matter seemed even more troublesome than he had imagined.
