The Human Gene Selection Project

Whose eye is it, above the heavens?

Blurb:

At night, in a city glittering with neon lights, the moon and stars thousands of miles away were already impossible to see.

A "ding-dong" notification sounded in everyone's mind. Then a sweet, childish voice spoke: "Welcome to the Human Gene Screening Plan. Carriers of superior genes, are you ready to receive your talent skills?"

"First stage: Survival Game"

When Lin Xia heard this, she thought she'd finally lost her mind. But thanks to the lack of soundproofing in her room, she heard the swear words coming from upstairs, mixed with key words like "genes" and "skills." When she opened her phone, these words were plastered across the covers on every major platform. Videos of people displaying supernatural abilities were gradually appearing online...

Holding her phone, Lin Xia paced around her room. She couldn't deny that she was looking forward to finding out what her skill would be.

As time passed, Lin Xia grew more and more disappointed. She sat on the bed, hugging her knees, without feeling anything at all.

As the first rays of the morning sun rose, the voice appeared again. "Your skills have finished activating. Are you ready, my warriors? The final battle is about to begin! Warriors with no skills, or who aren't satisfied with their skills, don't be discouraged!"

Then it giggled. Its voice turned shrill as it continued, "Kill him, and you'll receive an unexpected reward!"

Kill someone? Lin Xia didn't dare, and she wouldn't. She'd spent the whole night convincing herself to accept that she was ordinary.

"Knock, knock, knock." Someone was at the door. Lin Xia stared at it, eyes wide. Who could it be?

The door was smashed in, and a man strode inside, a confident smile on his face.

Staring at the man, mouth agape and eyes open in death, Lin Xia stood with both hands covered in blood, breathing rapidly and worrying about her future. Suddenly, a simple interface appeared in front of her.

"Character: Lin Xia,

Gender: Female,

Age: 23,

Talent Skill 1: Superhuman Strength (+50%),

Talent Skill 2: None,

Kill Count: 1"

"Dear warrior, your kill count is higher than 73% of people's. Keep it up!"

A blood-red smiley face with blood dripping downward appeared beside it.

Lin Xia looked at her hands. The panic on her face gradually faded, replaced by thoughtfulness. So this was the reward?!

Theme: Keep moving forward bravely, even in adversity.
