Chapter 370: Chapter 373: Simply Explosive_1

Could it be that I can ingest other people’s cells to obtain their superior genes?!

This realization shook Yang Gang to the core.

If previously, possessing the strength of a lion, the defense of giant crocodile, the venom of a cobra and the night vision of an owl just made me an enhanced genetic modified being.

But now, if I indeed possess the ability to ingest other people’s superior genes, that would be equivalent to having a super cheat code!

This would explain why other gene modification makers are so afraid of me.

If I really have this ability, then being labeled as a ’world enemy’ would be spot-on!

Er, to be more accurate, I just copied someone else’s ability, so ’world enemy’ may be a bit of a stretch. But if I ’cut’, or took away, someone else’s ability, then...

That would be mind-boggling.

In that case, the title of world enemy would indeed be justified!

However, while Yang Gang knew he had obtained Gu Xiaorou’s ’dream divination’ ability, he was uncertain whether Gu Xiaorou had lost her divination ability.

He pondered a bit, left the antique market, found a secluded spot, and dialed Gu Xiaorou’s number.

"Gang, what’s up?" Xiaorou’s voice came through the speaker.

"Oh, just wondering if there have been any recent prophecies?" Yang Gang asked.

"Er... yes there have, but they’ve got nothing to do with you." Xiaorou said.

"So, has the prophecy come true?" Yang Gang asked again.

"Oh, indeed it has. I dreamed of an injured kitten last night and, sure enough, today when I was out walking I found a stray cat just like the one in my dream." Xiaorou said.

"Oh, I see."

Yang Gang’s gaze became thoughtful, and he contemplated, "It seems, at least up to now, that I am only copying others’ abilities, not cutting, or removing them."

After hanging up the call with Xiaorou, Yang Gang continued to contemplate his situation.

Half an hour later, Yang Gang made a realization.

The animal genes he had ingested existed separately within his body because the DNA structure of humans and animals are different and cannot fully merge. When he wants to use an animal gene, he must first activate it.

However, the gene he got from Gu Xiaorou had completely merged with his own genes, it has become his gene, there was no need to reactivate it.

"Hold on... does this mean, I can ingest and utilize the genes of humans and animals?" Yang Gang’s gaze fell upon a discarded newspaper, with a headline that read: American scientist claim they have extracted dinosaur DNA.

With a flash of inspiration, Yang Gang immediately picked up the newspaper.

A group of American scientists claimed they successfully extracted soft tissue from fossils of three types of dinosaurs, including the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Among the extracted tissue, they believe it contains proteins from the dinosaurs, and even potentially extracting Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is not out of the question.

This statement caused a massive uproar in the scientific community.

The traditional theory in paleobiology states that after ancient creatures like dinosaurs die and fossilize, the protein and other organic molecules degrade away, leaving only mineral matter. Organic matter in fossils are believed to be able to preserve up to a hundred thousand years. Yet dinosaurs have been extinct for tens of millions of years, DNA preservation was considered impossible.

There were DNA experts who believed that even if dinosaur DNA was extracted, it would be incomplete. For humans to resurrect dinosaurs using DNA, the first and foremost step is to ensure obtaining a complete set of dinosaur DNA genetic information. Achieving this is currently extremely difficult. With current human tech, it would probably take a minimum of a few thousand years. If anything goes wrong in this process, cloning a dinosaur would be impossible and it would potentially create unimaginable monsters instead.

Resurrecting dinosaurs... Yang Gang had no interest in that, but he is indeed interested in dinosaur fossil. If dinosaur fossils really do retain dinosaur DNA, if he could copy the dinosaur’s DNA...

Wow! Although I won’t transform into a dinosaur, I might be able to obtain the power of a dinosaur.

The power of a dinosaur, now that definitely won’t be comparable to the mere strength of a lion!

"Speaking of dinosaurs, seems like Shengda University have preserved a fossil of the Zhonghua Longniao, a small meat-eating dinosaur..." Yang Gang’s eyes flickered, seemingly deep in thought.

After leaving the antique market, Yang Gang put the painting he had snatched up back in his villa before heading to the university.

As he approached the university gate, he saw two men and a woman in a dispute.

Neared them, Yang Gang saw a young man pleading with the girl, "Xiaoxiao, give me another chance."

The girl held onto another guy’s arm, saying dismissively, "Li Bing, we had an agreement. You go solo with An Kang, whoever wins gets to be my boyfriend. Don’t act like a loser. We women are attracted to the ones who are strong."

Yang Gang almost choked on his own spit.

What the heck, is this the worldview of college students nowadays? Even finding a girlfriend now requires winning a game duel?

Well, it seems I am out of touch with the times.

The young man looked even more disheartened.

The girl, proud as a swan, led the other young man away.

Yang Gang glanced at the dejected young man, a bit surprised, then walked over and said, "Want to regain your dignity?"

The young man named Li Bing looked a bit surprised, and then asked, "Yang, what do you mean?"

"Our school is competing against Shengda University in a "League of Legends" tournament tomorrow, and I’m currently recruiting team members." Yang Gang said.

"Ah, me?" Li Bing looked stunned.

"Yes."

Li Bing still couldn’t believe it, "Yang, you heard earlier. I lost the solo match to An Kang."

""League of Legends" is a strategic, team-based game, I need players who have a strong sense of the overall situation, not solo kings." Yang Gang said.

Li Bing weakly asked, "You think I play well in a team?"

"Yes. The match against Shengda involves our school’s reputation and I’m being very careful with the selection." Yang Gang said seriously.

"Oh. Ok, Yang. I will try my best." Li Bing said excitedly.

"Hmm...four members so far, still need one." Yang Gang said to himself.

As Li Bing was about to propose a few candidates, Yang Gang stopped a guy passing by.

"Hey guy, are you a student here?"

The man looked about twenty years old, with a rather refined appearance.

"Do you play "League of Legends"?" Yang Gang then questioned.

The guy hesitated for a moment before responding, "Oh, I just started playing recently."

"I’m currently recruiting for a team competition, would you like to join?" Yang Gang asked sincerely.

From behind, Li Bing looked as though he was about to collapse.

He’s way too casual!!

I was definitely chosen randomly by Yang Gang!

Wait a minute, the competition is tomorrow and he hasn’t even recruited a full team yet today. That’s not nonchalant, he’s completely not putting his heart into it!

Could it be that Yang, as the rumors claim, really has colluded with Ouyang Ya, the student union chairman of Shengda University, betraying the interests of Haixing University?
