"Alyssa, tell me, what does my second uncle mean?"

In Building No. 4, Duke's right index finger tapped the table rhythmically.

He thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Oliver would bring Cotton here.

To say how good his relationship with this second uncle is, there is no such thing. After all, he is like an outsider in the Elvis family. At most, he has a relatively good relationship with Aunt Kathy.

If it was said that Oliver had specially arrested someone to vent his anger, Duke would not believe it even to death, and this was in the middle of the night, so he didn't sleep!

Duke felt that Oliver must have another purpose, but he couldn't see it for the time being.

"I have no idea."

Alyssa poured Duke a cup of hot tea.

This is milk tea made from the milk of two-headed cows and green leaves.

The milky smell of the double-headed cow's milk was so strong that Duke was not used to drinking it, and the taste of the green leaf tea was too bitter, so Duke didn't like drinking it either. But he accidentally discovered that when the two things were mixed together,

, it tastes surprisingly good, this is already the second pot of milk tea he has drank now.

Duke was not surprised at all by Alyssa's answer. After all, she was just a little maid, so how could she understand the intrigues in a noble family.

"By the way, did you see that my second uncle left very quickly when he left? He disappeared in a few blinks of an eye. He couldn't be an awakener, right?"

Duke suddenly asked curiously. He also asked subconsciously and did not expect Alyssa to answer, but Alyssa said:

"yes."

"Ah? The second uncle is really an awakened person? Then what kind of awakened person is he?"

Duke was a little surprised.

"What Count Oliver has awakened is a gunnery expert, a combination of innate machinery and acquired genes."

"Gunsnance expert..."

The introduction he saw before immediately came to Duke's mind:

A gunnery expert, he is proficient in all kinds of weapons, and any weapon can exert unimaginable power in his hands. If you are unfortunate enough to become his opponent, remember, don’t let him fire any shots!

"I really didn't expect that my second uncle would actually be an awakener..."

Duke shook his head, but after thinking about it carefully, it is estimated that ordinary people can't beat Cotton like that, and this Cotton seems to be not ordinary. After all, he can fight several times with the mechanical transformation man, and there is a high probability that he can.

Awakener.

There is no absolute strength or weakness among the awakened ones, only the difference in rarity. Which one is strong or weak all depends on their own hard power. Duke's sixth sense told him that his second uncle may not be among the awakened ones.

weak.

Thinking of this, Duke felt a little envious.

After all, he is a firearms expert, an expert in playing with guns!

The revolver in his hand is actually very good, but if he does not use the ability to stop time, in real-time combat, his accuracy is so bad that it is unbearable to look at it.

"Then my other uncles, aunts, etc., are there also awakened ones?"

Duke asked curiously.

"have."

Duke: "..."

After a moment of silence, Duke asked strangely:

"That's not right. Didn't you say that awakened people are very rare? Why..."

"Awakened people are indeed rare, but among the five major sequences: bloodline, perception, mutation, genes, and machinery, the genetic and mechanical sequences are relatively special."

"Let's talk about the genetic sequence first. It is heritable. Although the probability is low, genetic medicine can be used to increase the genetic probability. Theoretically speaking, as long as your ancestors have an awakened person with a genetic sequence, then you have the chance to become an awakened person with a genetic sequence.

possibility.”

"But there is no telling how much genetic medicine will be consumed. The raw materials for making genetic medicine are mutant beasts in the wilderness, and the cost is extremely high. Therefore, even direct members of a large family cannot use it without restriction."

"The Elvis family is very good at medical treatment, and what they are most famous for is genetic medicine. This is also the fundamental reason why the Elvis family has been able to dominate the City of Dawn for so long."

Alyssa paused and continued:

"Then there is the mechanical sequence. The mechanical sequence mainly relies on external force to increase its amplification. It is simple and crude. Even if there is no awakening, it can be forcibly awakened by implanting mechanical limbs, but the price is also very high. If the awakening of the genetic sequence costs money, then

Mechanical sequence awakening costs lives. If the awakening fails, people will die. Of course, there are many people who are not afraid of death."

"Generally speaking, awakened persons in large families are generally inherited from genetic sequences. However, awakened persons in places like the Metropolitan Police Department and the City Defense Force generally rely on external forces implanted in mechanical limbs to awaken, such as police officers.

The sentinel of the theater."

After listening to Alyssa's explanation, Duke suddenly understood.

But soon, he felt helpless.

Many of the direct descendants of the Elvis family are Awakened. Although they were fed through genetic medicine, they are still serious Awakened.

But he was not, which somewhat disappointed Duke, but soon, Duke became confident again.

So what about the awakened person? Although he is not an awakened person, his ability to "stop time" is no worse than that of ordinary awakened people!

Duke felt that awakened people like the mechanical cyborg David would not be able to withstand one of his shots. With the ability to stop time, he had enough time to aim at the vital points and shoot.

Of course, when it comes to defensive power, he can't compare to him. After all, the opponent has half a mechanical body, and Duke is self-aware.

"I have decided to start exercising from tomorrow!"

Duke said suddenly.

"?"

Alyssa was stunned.

"Alyssa, help me formulate a physical exercise plan. This shouldn't be a problem for you."

Duke said to Alyssa.

"no problem."

Alyssa nodded.

To be honest, Duke was a little stimulated.

As his second uncle, he is still so powerful even though he is very old. Naturally, he is not willing to lag behind.

Although he has the ability to "stop time", this ability is not invincible. It requires a certain level of physical strength to match it. If his speed can be doubled, wouldn't it mean that his ability to stop time has been doubled in disguise?

?

As your own strength becomes stronger, even if you encounter things like assassination again, you can face it more calmly, or even fight back!

With Cotton's compensation, he alleviated his urgent needs and had enough energy to do other things.

Of course, we will not forget to recruit awakened people to act as bodyguards, but we won't be able to recruit people for a while.

One is that there are very few awakened people, and the other is that he is not wanted by all awakened people. Let alone his strength, at least his character must pass the test.

Otherwise, it would be troublesome if we recruit a traitor.

Duke asked Alyssa to recruit the Awakened Ones because he believed in Alyssa's ability to do things.

The next day, Alyssa formulated a fitness plan for Duke. These things are already available in the Elvis family, but they are usually used for training the Awakened.

These include strength training, endurance training, speed training, and even marksmanship training, etc.

But what surprised Duke was that this exercise was not as difficult as he imagined...

"Am I talented?"

Duke's left hand muscles bulged, he raised a huge iron cube with one hand, and asked Alyssa proudly.

In Duke's mind, this can be called a strong man, right?

He had never tested it before, and he didn't know he could lift such a heavy thing!

Alyssa looked at the words "80 kg" marked on the iron cube and fell into silence.

Master, are you really not an awakened person?

This is unreasonable!

Somehow, Alyssa did not answer Duke directly, but lowered her eyes and said:

"Awakened people who are good at strength can easily lift hundreds of kilograms of weight with their muscles alone, let alone those who have been partially mechanically modified."

"That's it...then keep practicing!"

Duke put away his complacency and became serious.
Chapter completed!
