The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’
Chapter 188 - 135 Xiaobai

Chapter 188: Chapter 135 Xiaobai

Afternoon.

Eternal Gene Xinyue Branch.

Zhou Yuan came alone, without Chen Guangxi.

After all, Chen Guangxi had a personal grudge with Eternal Gene. If she encountered her old acquaintances here, she might tear the place apart.

Reception Hall.

Zhou Yuan sat on a soft sofa, leisurely drinking an ice-cold cola and watching the Eternal Gene advertisement on the screen.

"The thin man you see before you is named Stephen Huo Yin. He is 25 years old, 175 cm tall, but weighs only 80 jin. Since birth, he has had brittle bone disease, making him a true weakling and frail man.

For the past 25 years, he has endured constant pain and suffering. Even a slight bump could cause severe fractures and even life-threatening injuries, leading him to give up on living at one point.

In January last year, he was fortunate enough to participate in Eternal Gene’s physical enhancement experiment. This is what he looked like after continually injecting the γ-15 enhancement drug for a month..."

The screen displayed two pictures. The left showed a skeletal white man sitting in a wheelchair, and the right showed a heavily muscled man who could compete in bodybuilding. The contrast was striking.

"Under the transformation of the γ-15 enhancement drug, Huo Yin was completely cured of his brittle bone disease. He successfully stood up from the wheelchair and, after brief training, achieved the strength of a first-level weightlifter.

From then on, Huo Yin began his new life.

To date, Eternal Gene’s physical enhancement project has helped tens of thousands of volunteers with severe physiological defects attain healthy bodies, and this great project will continue.

Our goal is the ultimate ascension of humanity."

The advertisement ended, and the Eternal Gene logo slowly appeared.

Eternal Gene’s so-called ultimate ascension is actually the genetic ascension of all humanity, mastering the power of genes and evolution, modifying the body structure at will, and changing genetic traits of races as desired.

Since the arrival of the Transcendent era, humanity realized that they were no longer the dominant species at the top of the food chain. There were many more terrifying extraordinary creatures in the world.

Dragons, Phoenixes, Titans, Angels, Demons, Elves, Ogres, Sea Monsters...

On a larger scale, these races were no match for humans, becoming more obedient after being beaten by the Control Bureau. But on an individual level, these species were inherently superior on a genetic level, making them more perfect and outstanding than humans.

Combined with the fact that transcendence is a form of life ascension...

This is why, after the third world war, humanity went insane studying genetics, trying to enhance all humanity at the genetic level.

With the birth of the first batch of genetic enhancement drugs, a new path to awakening was paved.

——Taking drugs!

No need for years of harsh training or intense emotional stimulus, just one injection had a 50% chance of awakening, while the other 50% likely meant instant death or lifelong disability. Countless people were willing to take the gamble.

Puling back his thoughts, Zhou Yuan watched the new advertisement segment, immediately becoming quite interested.

This ad was for gland modification services, implanting several glands into the human body that could control hormones and pheromones.

These glands couldn’t assist in combat; their only purpose was to release hormones and pheromones to make people around feel good, even stirring emotions and desires.

Especially suitable for charm-type players.

Zhou Yuan thought he could get one. With his Charm in the 20s and paired with this, it would work perfectly and avoid many unnecessary fights.

Just as he was searching the game store for similar items or skills, Mr. Feng hurried into the reception hall.

"Sorry, traffic was a bit congested, so I was delayed."

"No problem, I just got here."

Zhou Yuan stood up and followed Mr. Feng into a clean and bright laboratory.

Mr. Feng took out a red and white ball from the Storage Ring.

"Wow, a Poké Ball?" Zhou Yuan was stunned.

Its appearance was identical to a Poké Ball!

"This is an extraordinary tool replicated based on the abnormal properties of [Abnormal 3314·Master Ball], mimicking the appearance of a Poké Ball."

Mr. Feng explained, "This thing doesn’t have capture functions; it can only store pets, essentially a portable pet box. The principle is the same as Storage Rings, but Storage Rings can’t store living things, while the Poké Ball can."

With a thought, the Poké Ball opened with a snap, and a wild figure appeared in the room with a flash of light.

A werewolf.

Originally, Yan Sheng’s head had been blown off by Zhou Yuan, but now the body had a head again.

The werewolf stood roughly 2.3 meters tall, covered in gray-white fur, with explosive muscles all over, and saber-tooth-like fangs exposed, exuding fierce, violent wild instincts.

Ten claws, sharp as knives, glowed coldly, ready to retract and extend at will.

Mr. Feng took out a piece of inky black extraordinary metal, signaling the werewolf to cut it. As the shadow flashed and sparks flew, the metal was cut into several pieces.

"It’s just No. 9 metal, among the top fifty hardest metals in the world," Mr. Feng said.

Zhou Yuan raised his eyebrows at this sharpness... It could easily slice through the flesh of a Cross-Training Master.

Mr. Feng smiled slightly, then snapped his fingers.

The next second, the werewolf’s pupils, shoulders, back, elbows, and entire thighs all ignited with a kind of gray-white flame, flickering with an ethereal feeling.

Swoosh!

A gentle breeze, and the werewolf’s figure turned into five!

Five werewolves, all burning with gray-white flames, feroious and identical to each other.

"This is one of its skills, the Clone Technique."

"What are these gray-white flames?" Zhou Yuan asked.

"They’re not flames per se, but a kind of negative energy called ’Dark breath,’ which rapidly decays and corrodes anything it touches. Even No. 9 metal would turn to powder after fifteen minutes of exposure."

Mr. Feng continued, "I strengthened its body, now its strength is 1.3 times its original, speed 1.7 times. After all, it’s a Divine Power-modified body, and this level of enhancement is my limit.

Additionally, I injected a large amount of self-healing factors and replaced the entire skeleton with alloy bones that can withstand nuclear blasts.

It’s still at Tier 4. After all, cultivation levels can’t be achieved through biological modification; maintaining its tier without dropping is already surprising, truly a Divine Power-modified body."

"The brain is a cloned bio-brain, genetically modified, with an embedded alchemical matrix. No need to worry about disobedience or rebellion. It possesses its own intelligence and is completely loyal to you."

As if to verify Mr. Feng’s words, the werewolf retrieved its clones and knelt on one knee before Zhou Yuan, respectfully calling, "Master."

"Give it a name," Mr. Feng said.

"Then..."

Zhou Yuan pondered, "How about Xiaobai?"

Mr. Feng froze, then laughed after a moment, "Haha, stop joking."

Zhou Yuan quietly looked at him and blinked.

"You’re not joking?"

Mr. Feng panicked, "How is this different from naming a Divine Artifact Pink Fluffy Bunny?"

"But I can’t think of any good names. Xiaobai seems nice, simple and easy to remember. I’ll name the next one Dahuang to match."

...

Eventually, Mr. Feng couldn’t win against Zhou Yuan.

"Don’t leave yet. I still want a small gland modification."

Zhou Yuan said, "Add a few glands that release hormones and pheromones. Not difficult, right?"

The game store had similar skills, but they were a bit pricey. It was better to get surgery directly at Eternal Gene.

After all, since he was here.

"Why do you want gland modification?" Mr. Feng was puzzled.

"Look at my face, then my physique and charisma."

"Oh..."

Mr. Feng immediately understood and waved his hand, "It’s a minor surgery, about ten minutes. No need for me... fine, I’ll apply for you. Internal employees get a 25% discount."

"Thanks a lot," Zhou Yuan was overjoyed.

"Can’t we reconsider the name?"

"I quite like the name," the werewolf suddenly spoke.

"See," Zhou Yuan spread his hands.

"Sigh," Mr. Feng sighed deeply, "Fine, Xiaobai it is, at least it’s not Pink Fluffy Bunny."
