Chapter 101 – Two Years

During the day, Silin City was peaceful, but at night, fierce battles raged everywhere.

Su Hao spent most of his time at home, studying the gene sequences of various ordinary people and attempting to decipher the secrets hidden within their genes.

But this was easier said than done. He encountered great difficulties from the start; he lacked comparative data. Faced with dense gene sequences composed of A, T, C, and G, he had no idea what they corresponded to.

Could it be that he had to try them one by one?

Impossible. He couldn’t do it, especially in this backward world lacking high-end experimental equipment. It was impossible to complete the deciphering of genes through his own efforts.

All he could do was compare differences, guess the results, and then verify them.

The gene similarity among ordinary common people was as high as 99.99%, with only a very small portion of genes being different.

What Su Hao needed to do was to temporarily remove those similar genes and then study what different external manifestations would be transcribed by those different genes.

The most important thing was to compare the differences between ordinary people and Evolved Humans, extract the genes that showed differences in before-and-after comparisons, and study them.

Of course, Su Hao didn’t spend all his time comparing genes.

Although comparing genes was a very important subject, the most important thing for him at this stage was still to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

For example, studying the body’s “Blood Qi Strengthening Function,” “Muscle Amplification Function,” etc.

What he didn’t expect was that the “Senses Amplification Function” and “Organ Amplification Function,” which had troubled him in his previous life, had quickly reached the “Proficient” level in this world.

Su Hao exclaimed that it was magical.

Perhaps the answer to all of this was hidden in the genes.

Time passed quickly.

Two years later, Su Hao was six and a half years old.

He had grown to 1.4 meters tall, with a gradually fuller and stronger physique, comparable to his physique at the age of ten in his previous life.

After two years of growth and strengthening, his physical strength had become extremely high, with muscles and bones exceptionally tough, comparable to an old ox.

Furthermore, the strengthening of his internal organs had made their functions extremely powerful and resilient, so they would not be easily injured by shock or heavy blows.

Now, from the inside out, he was like a small iron man, an indestructible iron lump that could be thrown around at will without breaking.

The biggest change was in his five senses. He had never felt the world so clearly. The world before seemed to be covered with a layer of White Gauze, but now, that White Gauze had been removed, and the true face of the world was revealed to Su Hao.

Perhaps his eyes could see rays beyond the visible spectrum?

His keen hearing allowed him to easily overhear the chatter of elderly women a hundred meters away.

His powerful sense of smell allowed him to easily distinguish the scents of various items.

The amount of Blood Qi had also increased several times, and it would soon catch up to the strength of his previous life.

The maximum range of his Radar had reached nearly two thousand meters, and he could maintain a range of about one thousand meters daily without any pressure.

Moreover, fine hairs had begun to grow on his ears, which was a sign of growth for Zhu Huo People.

On this day, Su Hao was fiddling with some bottles and jars at home.

These were some blood samples collected over the past two years and some experimental solutions he had simply prepared himself.

The blood samples were preserved in a special preservative unique to this world, which could ensure that the gene structure inside would not be damaged for several years.

Although the genes of these blood samples had already been recorded in his Pinball Space, these blood samples still had some use in the future.

After night fell, Su Hao quietly pushed the door open and came to an open space on the outskirts of the city.

This was where he and Harmony Yashan met.

Yashan had long since willingly recognized Su Hao as his boss. It all started a year and a half ago when he was being chased by a Level One [Residual Poisoner] and almost died. He accidentally ran near Su Hao and was discovered and saved by him.

This [Residual Poisoner] was simply the nemesis of his [Shen Armor]. As long as it made contact, the poison would bypass his thick armor and enter his body, rendering him defenseless.

By the time Su Hao killed the [Residual Poisoner] with a single strike, Yashan was already deeply poisoned and on the verge of death. Unexpectedly, Su Hao pulled him back from the brink.

Su Hao merely made two cuts on his face, opening a wound, and then drew a circular pattern on his chest, somehow managing to draw out the poison.

Yashan immediately regarded Su Hao as a celestial being. Of course, along with the poison, a large amount of his blood was also expelled, and he nearly died from blood loss. But that wasn’t important; what mattered was that he survived.

From then on, he pledged his allegiance to Su Hao, doing whatever he said.

Su Hao was also happy to have a diligent assistant.

For the past two years, Yashan had been serving as one of Su Hao’s assistants, running errands for him and collecting blood samples from various Evolved Humans of different sequences for Su Hao’s research.

Of course, Yashan’s role wasn’t limited to just that.

He was also a very important research specimen for Su Hao.

First, acquire the current gene data, then feed him meat, observe his changes, and finally acquire the genes after digesting the flesh and blood for comparison.

It was precisely through continuous research on Yashan that Su Hao identified the mutated gene fragments of [Shen Armor], leading to significant progress in his research.

When Su Hao arrived at the open space, he found Yashan already waiting there.

As soon as he saw Su Hao appear, Yashan, like a child, excitedly rushed forward: “Boss Wei, you’re here! It’s been many days, and Yashan has missed you dearly!”

Su Hao was speechless: “Yashan, be more composed. You’re already a father of two.”

Yashan’s body was tightly wrapped in scales, leaving only his relatively handsome face exposed. However, this handsome face was now covered in a fawning smile, completely ruining his demeanor.

Su Hao sighed, lamenting the waste of such a face, a true misuse of nature’s gift.

Fortunately, it was clear that Su Hao would surely be more handsome than Yashan in the future.

As soon as Yashan heard Su Hao mention his two children, his face lit up like the sun, sacred and radiant, and he was about to start sharing every detail about them.

He was immediately interrupted by Su Hao. Su Hao had met Yashan’s two children; they were about two years younger than him and looked very cute, no wonder Yashan doted on them so much.

However, this fatherly love seemed a bit excessive to Su Hao.

Yashan took out a small bottle and held it up: “Boss Wei, look what I brought you?”

Su Hao took it and shook it, confirming it contained some blood.

Without waiting for Su Hao to ask, Yashan immediately said, “This is the blood of a Level Two Evolved Human Shapeshifter from the Mimicry human sequence.”

“Oh?” Su Hao’s eyes lit up. He didn’t have this blood sample yet. And in his opinion, the Shapeshifter gene, which allowed for arbitrary transformation, had extremely high research value.

In the past two years, he had collected seven blood samples of Level One Evolved Humans from the nine sequences, only missing the blood samples of the Swift Person Harmony Seer.

As for Level Two blood samples, he had only collected the blood sample of the Level Two Evolved Human Brute, from the Great Strength Person sequence.

Because the Evolved Humans of this sequence were the most reckless! They thought their strength was invincible and didn’t put Evolved Humans from other sequences in their eyes.

They were usually the ones who died the most miserably.

Su Hao put away the blood sample and immediately praised, “Not bad, Yashan. You even managed to get a Level Two blood sample. It seems I haven’t been feeding you meat for nothing.”

Yashan rubbed his hands and chuckled, “That’s right, that’s right. This Shapeshifter Harmony, when a Level Two Evolved Human Crawler was fighting, they got injured, and I secretly collected the spilled blood. I knew you liked this kind of thing, Boss Wei, right?”

Su Hao’s mouth twitched. Yashan’s choice of words was problematic!

He directly asked, “Have you reached the promotion state?”

Yashan nodded excitedly, “I can already feel that my body’s energy has reached its peak. I will definitely succeed in advancing to Crawler.”

Su Hao smiled. His research progress had just reached the stage of the genetic differences between Level One Evolved Humans and Level Two Evolved Humans.

Since Yashan, this experimental subject, was so proactive and cooperative, he would gladly accept.

Su Hao smiled, “You’ve performed well these past two years. I’ll grant you this small request. Tell me, where is the Crawler?”

Yashan was overjoyed, “Boss Wei, follow me!”

Su Hao handed him a large bottle and said, “No hurry, fill the bottle first.”

Yashan: “…”
