Chapter 133: Experiment
Su Hao first entered the pinball space and, after properly organizing the collected genetic sequences, he entered the room where Little Round Mouse was kept. As he was about to leave with one of the mice, a petite girl of around 1.6 meters in height approached him. She wore a blue and white outfit that matched her well-coordinated and graceful figure. There were soft, fluffy white fur tufts on her pointy ears, and her wavy hair cascaded down to her waist. Her round eyes blinked cutely, making her look very adorable.
It was none other than the growing young girl, Taini, who was already over nine years old. The powerful Zhu Huo genes were perfectly manifested in her, enabling her to grow faster, more agile, and even more beautiful.
Taini blocked Su Hao, her eyes brimming with tears, and she whined, “Uncle Wei… I don’t want to study! It’s too painful; I can’t bear this torture anymore! I get sleepy as soon as the teacher starts talking.”
Su Hao’s face suddenly turned very serious, and he said, “Taini, your attitude is all wrong. How could studying be a painful thing? You need to learn to feel the joy of studying.”
Taini immediately retorted with a distressed expression, “How could studying be joyful? Look at me now, Uncle Wei. Do you see any joy in this?”
Su Hao observed her seriously for a moment and nodded, “Indeed, you look much better than before, and you have a more elegant demeanor now!”
Taini instantly felt annoyed. Clearly, it was just because she had grown taller and more mature. What did that have to do with studying?
Su Hao continued, “Besides, what can you do if you don’t study? Do you want to be a gang boss like Yashan?”
Taini’s eyes lit up, “Yeah! Yeah! I want to be just like my dad, a boss!”
Su Hao had a big question mark on his face, so he stopped talking and turned to leave.
Taini panicked and hurriedly grabbed Su Hao. “Uncle Wei, please, don’t make me study anymore! It’s completely pointless…”
Su Hao ignored her and continued to drag her along.
Taini pleaded, “Uncle Wei, I was wrong. I don’t want to be a boss. I can help you take care of Little Round Mouse…”
Su Hao suddenly stopped and revealed a satisfied smile. “Alright, then. You can start by studying the books I gave you earlier: ‘Methods and Ongoing Optimization for Raising Little Round Mice,’ ‘Reproduction Theories of Little Round Mice,’ ‘Common Behavior Analysis of Little Round Mice,’ and ‘Common Diseases and Preventive Measures for Little Round Mice.'”
Taini: “…”
With a loud thud, Su Hao closed the door and returned to the experimental table.
And Taini instantly felt disheartened, displaying a look of despair.
Just as she turned to leave, a deep and authoritative voice sounded, “Taini, break time is over. Let’s get back to studying.”
Taini shivered, turned around, and saw a middle-aged man with greying hair. He looked at her with a stern expression, but a hint of amusement couldn’t be hidden in his eyes.
Taini immediately perked up and bargained, “Teacher Man, can we study a bit less today? Can you let me go early?”
…
Su Hao returned to his laboratory and immediately put Taini’s matter out of his mind. Can she not study? Of course not! He couldn’t allow Taini to be a person with only a beautiful exterior but an empty soul.
Furthermore, she aspired to evolve into a “Bone Demon” in the future, which would require knowledge to sensibly control her powers. Even if she became the gang leader, knowledge would still be necessary.
In his understanding, the probability of an illiterate person becoming a successful gang leader wasn’t zero, but it was incredibly low.
He placed the Little Round Mouse on the experimental table, secured it in place in a spread-eagle position, and then extended a finger to tap on the mouse’s belly.
Blood gas was slowly injected into the mouse’s body. The mouse went from struggling in fear initially to eventually making contented squeaking noises, as if it was receiving a full-body massage.
Su Hao’s purpose in infusing blood gas into the Little Round Mouse’s body was to obtain the mouse’s genetic sequence. Since he had learned the “micro-control” method of blood gas, he realized that there was no need to personally devour flesh and blood to record an object’s information into the Ball Space.
All he had to do was infuse blood gas into the corresponding object’s interior. Once the blood gas concentration reached a certain level, it would essentially achieve a state of saturation, and he would succeed.
Now, blood gas had become another kind of sensation for Su Hao.
Soon, when the Little Round Mouse reached its peak comfort level, Su Hao’s information was also fully recorded. He withdrew his finger, sat down, and entered the Pinball Space to start examining the Little Round Mouse’s genetic sequence.
With the assistance of Little Light, they quickly sorted and compared it, using different colors to label the various sections of genetic information.
“As expected, the other creatures in this world also have ‘databases,’ ‘armories,’ and ‘controllers’ in their genes. This means that if you feed an organism with the flesh and blood of a mutant, it might also undergo evolution.”
Of course, the probability of a successful evolution was quite low for the Little Round Mouse because although it had been well-fed, it lacked exercise, leading to an overall lower blood gas energy level, which was unlikely to sustain its evolution.
Apart from this, Su Hao had more thoughts.
Perhaps this world used to be a world where various evolved beasts roamed freely. These beasts would fight and devour each other to evolve. Eventually, the Zhu Huo people achieved victory and became the masters of this continent.
Perhaps the sequences for mutant evolution weren’t limited to just nine, and there were more in the past. However, through the course of lengthy evolution, survival of the fittest led to only nine remaining sequences.
It was also possible that there were still powerful advanced mutant beasts lurking in the desolate wilderness, but because of the Zhu Huo people’s large-scale hunting, their numbers were dwindling, and they were on the verge of extinction, hiding themselves away.
So, the Zhu Huo people, who couldn’t obtain enough flesh and blood for evolution from the wilderness, turned their sights inward, leading to a series of ruthless killings among mutants.
It was brutal and straightforward!
Su Hao calculated and found that if the Zhu Huo people continued on this path, it wouldn’t lead to success. The most likely outcome would be the disappearance of the mutants.
The reason was quite simple.
As the killings continued, the Zhu Huaq population kept decreasing. When it reached a certain point, there was a high probability that an incredibly powerful awakened mutant would emerge, starting a massive slaughter of the other mutants and wiping them out. This would create a living space for the ordinary Zhu Hua people.
The only uncertainty was when this would happen.
Su Hao cleared his mind of these thoughts and began screening the Little Round Mouse’s genetic sequence.
After a while, Su Hao revealed a mysterious smile. “Alright, let’s start by implanting a set of ‘scale’ genes into both the coding and non-coding regions and see how it goes.”
Once he determined the gene implantation points, Su Hao acted swiftly.
The first step was to cultivate the corresponding Cas9 and extract the ‘scale’ gene segment. The issue of cultivating gene scissors and extracting the ‘scale’ segment had already been resolved by Su Hao.
Su Hao exited the Pinball Space, closed his eyes, and quickly entered a meditative state.
“First, choose a piece of flesh within the body as the cultivation dish… Let’s go with the left forearm! Second, begin controlling the blood gas and extract the DNA segment! Little Light, this step is up to you!”
“Little Light, Roger.”
The next step was the long process of extracting the segment.
The process of micro-controlling blood gas to extract the segment was very simple. Little Light calculated and generated a long sequence of symbols and text. Su Hao just had to focus and read it without getting distracted. The key was to remain completely focused.
“@#¥…”
Soon, Little Light presented a series of symbols.
Su Hao immediately dismissed any distractions and began examining them one by one.
This was the art of micro-controlling blood gas!
