309 Perfect Being
“Okay,” Fein nodded.
Suddenly, he began to flap the wings on his back. To his delight, his body rose slowly. But because he was unfamiliar with the feeling, he had to stay in the air for about two minutes before he got used to his wings.
At the start, Fein was just flapping his wings to float, but after a few minutes, he tried doing different kinds of acrobatics in the air. And he flew high up in the sky to touch the clouds.
At first, he could barely balance himself due to the strong air current in the air. His hair was already messed up like seaweed, pointing in all directions.
Brick could only look up and watched Fein enviously. But he told himself that he would be the next. He just needed to ask Fein for help to configure the potion to match him and he would have the same powers!
Fein descended to the ground, and with every flap of his wings. A cloud of dust would form.
“How about it? How fast did I fly?” Fein retracted his wings and asked Brick with a smile.
“Your speed could already rival the fastest flying carriages.” Brick stretched his hand and pointed at the yellow paper in his hands. “Your flight speed is approximately seven thousand two hundred seventy-four kilometers per hour.”
“Well, that was fast,” Fein said with wonder. “I didn’t even infuse my degu energy into the wings.”
.....
“Well, let’s try another transformation.” Brick licked his lips.
The stronger and more amazing Fein’s result, the happier he was. After all, he had forgotten to sleep just to improve the serum.
Brick stared at Fein’s eagle-like pupils. Then he pondered for a moment before saying. “You are the first perfect organism to have perfect genes in this world.”
“And you will be the second.” Fein grinned. Then he paused and continued. “Without you, I could only hope to finish this project in five years. But thanks to you, it was shortened significantly.”
Fein didn’t really focus much on the perfect gene serum. It was Brick who worked himself to death just to improve the formula of the serum. He had worked for a month without much sleep. So, Fein was embarrassed that he was the first one that used the serum.
“We need to change the formula again to suit my body.”
“It won’t take much time. Let’s start configuring it next week.” Fein responded.
Brick Norty clenched his fist. His arms were trembling. “I can’t wait much longer.”
“Impatience foils great plans.” Fein couldn’t but say. Then he turned his head at the lake sixty meters away from them. “You know what I’m thinking right?”
...
Brick looked intently as gills started to appear on his friend’s neck. He had to say that the gills look strange in a human body.
“Well, this feels a little weird.” Fein tried to touch the gills on his neck and he couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted. Without hesitation, he jumped into the lake.
The sound of water splashing appeared, and the water produce a zigzag wave with the impact. Fein opened his eyes underwater and use the gills on his neck to breathe.
‘Damn, I can really breathe!’ Fein felt like a fish in the water. He estimates that he didn’t need to resurface and he could stay underwater forever if he wants to! The cold sensation of the water caressed his skin, and it made him feel alive!
After a few hours, Fein resurfaced and returned to the land. Brick was sitting on top of a boulder while eating.
“The gills were working.” Fein took out a towel from his storage space and wiped his body and moist hair. “The serum is a huge success! I only need to collect the genes of other beasts, and the effect would only get stronger in the long term.”
“I want to inject it now.” Brick said with an envious expression.
It’s a pity he can’t really do that without the help of Fein. Because they split some parts of the formula and procedures for security purposes.
Hearing this, Fein looked at Brick’s eyes directly. “I warn you. Don’t do anything stupid. We’ll take care of the configuration next week.”
“Do you think I don’t know how dangerous gene collapse is?” Brick shrugged. “I have already waited for months... Waiting for another week is easy peasy.”
“That’s good then.” Fein felt relieved by his assurance.
After all, he knew Brick’s personality. An arrogant madman that would do crazy things. But Fein knew that Brick won’t do something impulsive.
‘Tsk... Why not do it now? I don’t really want to wait any longer,’ Brick complained inwardly.
“Well, since the serum is effective. I would try other cool abilities that might help me greatly.” Fein had a lot of things he wants to try.
‘I wonder if I can imitate the bloodhound’s olfactory system.’
Well, he won’t know it if he doesn’t try, right? Bloodhound is one of the animals that fascinated Fein. With a thought in his head, he stimulated the bloodhound genes recorded in his gene code. With that, his nose structure changed, and his olfactory system evolved like that of bloodhounds.
Fein tried to sniff the smell in the surroundings, and when he did so, the scent of the dirt, the fishy smell in the lake, and strong odors that he can’t determine assaulted his entire being! It almost made him lose consciousness.
His sense of smell became millions of times more sensitive and he could still make out the lingering smell of the animals that passed by in this place in the previous fifteen days as a consequence.
Fein then tried to sniff a leaf. And he was amazed to find that he could memorize a specific smell and lock the scent and locate it!
‘Hmmm... this is a good ability for investigation.’ Fein scratched his chin. Then his eyes suddenly lit up.
He opened his mouth, and his vocal cords changed into another structure. He sent out a high-frequency sound wave with his mouth. Then, he listened for the variations in the echoes that came back.
