Chapter 111: Chapter 77: The Prince in the Pumpkin Carriage

The severely mutated plants brought a massive amount of mutated Spiritual Power. If not for the sign of the Life Research Center hanging at the entrance, he would have thought he had arrived at an immortal friend’s space.

"Oh my god," the exclamation came to an abrupt halt. Professor Kevin also felt the strange gas recirculating out of the research center. He stared at Zhou Ziang, and Zhou Ziang also gazed intently back at Professor Kevin.

Like brothers separated for many years, the two reached out their hands at the same time, giving each other a firm hug.

Aisha was left stunned, with goosebumps rising uncontrollably all over her body. Could it be that these two men are...

That very night, at Aisha’s mother Catherine’s animal research center, Aisha told her mother Selena about everything that had happened during the day without holding anything back.

Aisha’s beauty was largely inherited from her mother, the top mixed-race American animal research scientist, Celeste Roster. Only in front of her own mother would Aisha put away her pride and act with utmost deference.

While listening to her daughter’s story, Selena, who looked like a young girl in her twenties, was fiddling with an unusually small Persian cat in her hand. After hearing everything, she laughed: "It seems Kevin has found himself a good disciple or a good partner."

"Mom, did I do something wrong?" Aisha felt regret in her heart. Professor Kevin hadn’t let her stay at the research center any longer and had directly sent her out, so she had no way of knowing what happened to Zhou Ziang afterward.

Both her mother and Kevin were expert-level researchers under Mengshan Company, whereas she and the newly joined Zhou Ziang were only admin-level researchers.

However, her mother and Kevin worked in different fields, and today, she brought Zhou Ziang to Kevin, who was more skilled in plant superpower development, in an attempt to ingratiate herself with Zhou Ziang.

"How many stupid things have you done? Your way of doing things is just like your human father’s, not using your brain," Selena’s tone was vicious, with no regard for Aisha’s feelings.

Aisha’s father had died more than a decade ago, and as far as she knew, since the time she became sensible, her mother had always been alone, controlling the vast fortune of the Roster family.

"What’s Mengshan Company anyway? As long as mom succeeds in modifying animal genes, or even human genes, how could the power of the Roster family be controlled by a mere corporate group," Aisha boasted confidently.

"Shut up, what do you think is behind Mengshan Company?" Catherine’s fingers suddenly grew out long nails, five inches in length, and the pocket-sized Persian cat, like a mouse, was trapped in her palm. Her fingers slowly closed in, and the sound of the cat’s bones breaking resounded with a "crackle."

"It’s the government." Aisha knew she had misspoken and answered meekly.

"Unless we can be sure to change all chromosomes in human genes perfectly, to fully control the abilities brought by genetic mutations. Otherwise, both you and I must lie low under Mengshan Company. For people like us, whether in the United States or other powerful countries, we are considered abnormal. Without government protection, we could only be called demons. From your story, that person named Zhou Ziang seems very low-profile. You should find a way to get close to him in the next few years and try to recruit him for our use," Selena’s eyes were full of gloom, her mood unpredictable.

When Zhou Ziang returned to the dormitory, his mind was still pondering the teachings of Professor Kevin. This was his first encounter with cultivators of this world; indeed, whether it was Professor Kevin or Aisha, they were all different. The cultivators of this world did not associate human superpowers with cultivation like Yunteng Sect did, but rather with genetic mutations.

Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each person’s chromosomes are unique. Some people have chromosomes that are very similar to those of plants, and are thus defined as ’plant people’. Others have genetic chromosomes similar to those of animals, hence known as ’Beastmen’.

Plant people naturally possess a talent for cultivating plants, while Beastmen excel at Beast Taming. One is active, the other passive; one is offensive, the other defensive. There are no more than a thousand Genetic Mutants like these in the entire world. All Genetic Mutants receive protection and assistance from the American Government, with an annual training fund of 1 million US Dollars.

All this information was what Zhou Ziang got from Kevin. Zhou Ziang wasn’t interested in any of these; his only interest was that he didn’t need to worry about the issue of Spiritual Power anymore. Kevin had promised to provide him with a facility at the research center, where he would be in charge of cultivating various transgenic plants.

"Ziang, you’re back. Yao Feng, your senior, has been looking for you all afternoon, saying he wants to invite you to dinner," the roommate quickly informed Zhou Ziang on seeing him return, curious about the package in his hand. Upon opening it and seeing it was filled with beans, he asked, "What are you going to do with these beans?"

"This is my next research project, transgenic soybeans," Zhou Ziang’s reply made his roommate even more curious. A research project? Just a first-year freshman, where did this research project come from? The kid looks so quiet but when he speaks, it’s terrifying.

"I became an admin researcher at Mengshan Company just today," Zhou Ziang left this statement behind as he closed the room door.

"Mengshan Company, oh my god, that’s the same company Yao Feng belongs to. Wait, Zhou Ziang is only seventeen years old, doesn’t that make him the youngest researcher in Mengshan Company’s history? This is too much of a joke," the roommate gaped, unable to respond for a long while.

Outside the room, the chill wind blew fiercely in gusts. Nobody knew what kind of spring would come after the snow melted.

The plot of senior brother comes to a temporary end.

Sugarcane seedling appears: Wicked author, I’ve been eating iron for a long time. Don’t be so cruel to the young sprouts of our nation. I want to grow up, I want precious metals!

Wicked Author: Isn’t this the third watch? I will soon improve your diet. With rising prices, I can’t afford to feed you, dear~

After pondering, Sugarcane Seedling says: Then I want tickets and money, whether it’s colored or colorless, give me some, they’re free~ (To be continued.
