"Super intelligent lifeform" doesn't refer to how intelligent or wise a certain creature is.
Instead, it defines humans as "intelligent lifeforms" and uses this as a reference point to define other organisms that have evolved to be more advanced than humans.
After failing to replicate Li Lin's abilities yesterday, Lu Yuan discovered that this person was somewhat special.
Lu Yuan's own ability is the gene for replication.
If there is only one reason for the replication failure, it is because the other person does not possess the ability gene, or in other words, their ability gene is not a human ability gene.
Thus, the dissection in the sixth operating room followed.
By observing Li Lin's body structure, Lu Yuan discovered that Li Lin indeed does not possess human ability genes.
Because he is not human at all.
Rather, he is another species of creature that has taken on a human form.
However, this creature's intelligence is not low; it has already reached the level of a human.
Moreover, its body has evolved to be more advanced than humans.
The abilities of this creature stem from its own body structure, and its ability genes are significantly different from those of humans.
It's similar to the dragon claws of a golden eagle, where Lu Yuan can only obtain the ability to have dragon-like claws by injecting the cellular extract of a golden eagle with dragon claws, rather than directly replicating it.
Suddenly, Lu Yuan murmured to himself, "There's a flaw in my ability!"
"Why am I only able to replicate human abilities?"
"This is so unfair to me! Isn't this bullying? I have to solve it..."
For a moment, Lu Yuan seemed to have found the direction for his next research topic.
However, this is a long-term task. For now, the most important thing is to extract the ability genes that Lu Yuan covets, those related to time manipulation.
...
In the second operating room,
Three mutated white mice were placed on the workbench.
Lu Yuan held three syringes and injected them into the mice one by one.
Five minutes later,
The first mouse died.
Half an hour passed, and the second mouse died.
Three hours passed, and the third mouse died of apparent starvation.
Lu Yuan found the original solution of the injection given to the third mouse and poured it into a petri dish to observe under a microscope.
What was injected into the three mice were cellular extracts containing the ability genes of super intelligent lifeforms that Lu Yuan had extracted from Li Lin's blood the previous night.
However, because Lu Yuan had not encountered these three types of genes related to super intelligent lifeforms, shape-shifting, time manipulation, and birth of spirits before, he didn't know which ability each of the three cellular extracts corresponded to.
Based on the experiments with the three mice, he tentatively concluded that the first mouse, which died, was injected with shape-shifting genes.
Because the super intelligence genes in this set of cellular extracts are structurally most similar to human ability genes.
Although Li Lin is not human, he can transform into a human, which means their genes must have some similarities.
The second mouse, which died, most likely received the birth of spirits gene.
The structure of the super intelligence genes in the cellular extract injected into it is somewhat similar to the genes of an ordinary human female.
As for the third mouse, it most likely received the time manipulation gene.
Because it accelerated the passage of time around itself, causing its body to grow rapidly, but due to a lack of adequate energy supply, it ended up starving to death.
Lu Yuan spent half a day purifying and improving the cell solution and conducting several tests on transgenic mice. He could confirm that this was the cell solution for time manipulation ability.
However, this time Lu Yuan didn't inject it directly into himself. He decided to wait until the equipment from Starlight Group arrived and conduct a few more tests.
After all, it was a different species' ability gene, so caution was necessary.
Or maybe he should find someone else to try it first. But who should he approach?
It was relatively easier to test the shapeshifting and time manipulation abilities, but how should he test the birth of spirits?
Also, using people as guinea pigs might not be a good idea.
Lu Yuan was a bit worried and didn't know who to approach.
Later, Lu Yuan purified two other types of gene solutions and successfully obtained the gene solutions for three abilities. He then started processing the life hormone order from Starlight Group.
The order was for two million, which was equivalent to forty vials of life hormone injections.
This task was simple. Lu Yuan prepared everything himself and handed it over to Lin Youyou, who was on the night shift, for mixing.
...
At half-past six in the afternoon, Lu Yuan, who had just come out from the basement level, stretched lazily under the dusky night sky.
"Another fulfilling day..."
"Well, it's still early today. I can have a hot meal."
The cafeteria.
Due to Lu Yuan's preference for spicy food, which was unsuitable for the patients in the hospital, Zhang Fenglan was usually responsible for cooking for the patients, with Xiao Chen assisting.
Liu Yuan took care of Lu Yuan's three meals.
Occasionally, Lu Yuan would eat with everyone else, but it was rare.
Most of the time, when Lu Yuan arrived at the cafeteria, there was no one left inside.
Today happened to be mealtime, and there were a few people in the cafeteria when Lu Yuan entered.
Lin Youyou, Xiao Chen, and Huang Ming, who hadn't been seen for several days.
After getting his meal, Lu Yuan didn't say anything and sat opposite Huang Ming.
"Huang Ming, you've been quite busy lately, haven't you?"
Huang Ming smiled awkwardly, "It's so comfortable lying in my room and sleeping!"
Lu Yuan deliberately put on a surprised expression, "How can you do that?"
"Have you forgotten? You're the one who aspires to be a demon hunter!"
"Huang Ming, you can't stop just because of a little difficulty!"
Huang Ming blinked and silently took a sip of porridge from his bowl.
He didn't feel like engaging with the person in front of him right now.
"Hehe..."
Suddenly, Lu Yuan gave Huang Ming a very strange look, "Huang Ming, you should consider..."
"I don't have money."
Lu Yuan said ambiguously, but Huang Ming declined straightforwardly.
Lu Yuan was displeased, "Huang Ming, am I the kind of person who talks about money with friends?"
Huang Ming's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, "Dr. Lu, how about you talk to me about money?"
Lu Yuan waved his hand generously and said, "Money? What money? Didn't I mention it before? I'll give you a small gift, consider it as your stake in the demon hunter team. Do you remember?"
Huang Ming remained composed, "Please continue..."
Lu Yuan glanced around and whispered, "Huang Ming, don't let the clown hear this, but I'll give you a set of ability genes!"
"With your spiritual perception ability, I will further strengthen your body so that you can calmly face various complex situations!"
Huang Ming felt a little intrigued and asked, "What ability?"
Lu Yuan glanced around and whispered cautiously, "Shape-shifting!"
"Huang Ming, think about it. If you have this ability, coupled with your perception ability, you will transform from a radar into a walking radar!"
Huang Ming looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Dr. Lu, are you asking me to try it because you haven't transplanted this genetic ability into someone else yet?"
Lu Yuan didn't bother hiding it and nodded, "Yes, you're right. I haven't transplanted this genetic ability into anyone else."
"Just give me one set of this thing, do you want me to prepare several sets to give away? I'll be at a loss!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Huang Ming felt relieved.
"You really won't charge any money?"
"I really won't charge any money!"
"What about safety?"
"Don't you trust me? Even if I can't install this ability in you, I guarantee that I will put back together the parts of your body that were taken apart!"
"And as for the other enhancements to your body, even if I give them to you, I won't charge you any money!"
Huang Ming looked at Lu Yuan suspiciously and said, "Dr. Lu, you're too generous."
"You're taking risks for me, and I can't live with that guilt."
"Alright, since you're Dr. Lu, I reluctantly agree to let you give it a try."
"Understood, Huang Ming, you can't go back on your word, okay?"
"What?"
"Cough, cough, I mean, you can't feel sorry for me and insist on giving me money!"
"Always thinking of good things every day!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
