Chapter 157 – The Birth of the King of Round Rats

Two days later, while reviewing the messy reports from his subordinates, a voice suddenly sounded from the side: “Hey, hey, hey! Yashan, Yashan! Can you hear me, Yashan?”

Yashan was startled. The voice sounded a bit like Boss Wei’s, but it wasn’t quite clear, and the overall feeling was very strange.

Yashan looked up and around, but couldn’t find Boss Wei anywhere.

He asked in confusion, “Boss Wei?”

A voice that resembled Boss Wei’s suddenly came from the ground in front of him again: “Can you hear me, Yashan? Answer quickly, speak louder.”

Yashan immediately replied loudly, “I can hear you, Boss Wei!”

He pushed his chair away and looked down. He saw that two palm-sized areas on the ground had taken on a metallic sheen. He became confused. Wasn’t this Assimilated Steel? It should be Boss Wei’s Assimilated Steel.

At this moment, Yashan clearly heard Boss Wei’s voice coming from that piece of Assimilated Steel: “You can hear me? So it’s successful!”

Yashan was incredibly surprised. Assimilated Steel had this function? Why didn’t his? He said loudly, “Boss Wei, what is this?”

Boss Wei’s voice came again: “This is a voice transmitter. It allows you to speak over longer distances. In the future, you won’t need to run around to talk to people.”

Yashan’s head was full of question marks. “Voice transmitter? Boss Wei, where are you now?”

“I’m in my Laboratory! Don’t ask, you wouldn’t understand if I explained it in detail, and don’t even think about it. Your Assimilated Steel can’t do this.”

Yashan awkwardly scratched his head, feeling a bit disappointed. “Is that so?”

We’re both ‘Steel Armor Kings’, why is there such a big difference?

Boss Wei’s voice continued: “Yashan, I have two things to tell you. You need to remember them carefully.

First, I have finished cataloging all the flesh and blood I brought back from Linyuan City. It is now stored in the Laboratory. Your next task is to gather the formal members of the ‘Temple Forest Society’ and hold an annual meeting. According to the rules we established earlier, select those who are loyal to the ‘Temple Forest Society’s’ ideology and have made contributions, and reward them with Evolution.

Second, if you want to make Silin City better and stronger, you need to start formulating the organizational framework for the ‘Temple Forest Society’. Establish rewards and punishments, and gradually transition from human management to rule-based management. Then, continuously recruit new members and spread your ideology.

Did you write it all down?”

Yashan wrote furiously, his sprawling, crooked handwriting filling the paper. He replied loudly, “Boss Wei, slow down, I can’t write that fast…”

After following Su Hao for a long time, Yashan developed the habit of taking notes casually, otherwise he wouldn’t remember many things. Then Yashan spread this habit to every member of the Temple Forest Society. He required everyone to take notes on important events and even checked them.

Those who couldn’t read were to learn, or even record things by drawing simple pictures.

The effect was excellent!

After finishing, Yashan asked, “Boss Wei, how do we establish the organizational framework?”

Boss Wei’s voice came through, “Don’t rush that. First, you need to do one thing. From top to bottom, find all the members of the ‘Temple Forest Society’ and have a deep private chat with each of them. In a casual conversation, find out three things: First, do they understand the true meaning of the Temple Forest Society’s Thought-power? Second, what are their life ambitions? Third, do they like the Temple Forest Society?”

These three points are very important and directly relate to your future development direction. You have plenty of time, so don’t rush. You can even take a year to slowly understand what they truly desire. Do you understand?”

Yashan didn’t dare to say he understood, and conservatively replied, “Noted, Boss Wei!”

Boss Wei added, “Then that’s it for now. Once you’ve finished chatting with everyone, you can start building the organizational structure. That’s all for now!”

With that, the two pieces of Transforming Steel on the ground slowly faded away.

After a while, Yashan scratched his confused head. He picked up his notes again and the more he read, the more profound it seemed. He muttered, “As expected of Boss Wei, his casual words are beyond my comprehension! Perhaps I should go discuss this with Taini later. After all, Taini has been reading a lot lately and has some level of understanding…”

…

Su Hao’s loudspeaker was successfully tested. As long as it was within his ‘Flesh Assimilation’ domain, he could transmit his voice and also collect the other party’s voice and transmit it back, enabling short to medium-range communication. From now on, Su Hao wouldn’t need to step out of Silin City even half a step to spread his intentions to every corner of the city.

That’s right, Su Hao had tested it before. If his Transforming Steel only generated a single long line, it could reach any corner of Silin City.

He hadn’t tried a full coverage test because he was worried about the Catalyst causing panic among the residents.

However, he estimated that, without considering control factors, it could cover at least half of Silin City.

What a terrifying existence!

But Su Hao wasn’t very interested in displaying his power outwards. Instead, he was more interested in how to control the ability to arbitrarily modify genes.

Without needing rest, after sorting things out, Su Hao threw himself back into gene research and experiments with the Little Round Mouse.

His gene research had reached a very critical juncture. Once he made another breakthrough, he would truly master the method of modifying biological genes.

The current difficulty lies in how to ensure the Little Round Mouse can survive after its genes are modified. As long as the modified Little Round Mouse can survive, Su Hao will be able to acquire more useful information from them.

Regarding this point, Su Hao had already had a clear idea before he went to Linyuan City.

It was the previously established ‘Gene Simulation Transcription System’, which could simulate the feasibility of gene expression.

And now, this system needed more data.

The source of this data was the Little Round Mouse meticulously raised by Taini.

The Little Round Mice had finally ushered in their glorious moment—to dedicate themselves to genetic science.

They were all extremely excited, and when Su Hao brought them out, they were all very active, jumping all over the place.

Su Hao was very happy about this; these little guys were full of energy! Their chances of survival would become higher.

As Su Hao manufactured the Gene Modification fluid more and more times, his proficiency increased. By the end of the day, he could produce enough Gene Modification fluid for three Little Round Mouse experiments.

His work efficiency greatly improved.

Two months later, at the critical moment when almost all the Little Round Mice had been wiped out, a hero among the Little Round Mice was finally born.

It, survived with great difficulty!

And it was precisely its survival that allowed Su Hao to find the key to the Little Round Mice surviving after gene modification, thus adjusting the ‘Gene Simulation Transcription System’.

It could be expected that in the future, the survival rate of Little Round Mice after gene modification would greatly increase.

In other words, this brave Little Round Mouse made an indelible contribution to its species. Its companions would probably call it the King of Round Mice.

This Little Round Mouse had lost most of its fur, and its body was covered with dense scales, like a pangolin, making it look very strange.

At this moment, it was lying on the test bench, on the verge of death, its eyes vacant.

But Su Hao knew that as long as it was fed sufficiently, it would soon regain its vitality. He just didn’t know if it would have any impact on its lifespan.

Su Hao picked up this Scale Armor Little Round Mouse and found Taini, saying, “Taini, I’ve got a special Little Round Mouse for you. You’ll definitely like it.”

Taini had been heartbroken during this period because almost all her Little Round Mice had been wiped out. She was sad when she heard Uncle Wei say he was going to give her a round mouse. This was very unusual!

Uncle Wei would be doing well if he didn’t ask her for Little Round Mice, and he was giving her one?

She examined it for a moment, then asked, “Uncle Wei, are you sure this ugly thing is a Little Round Mouse?”

Su Hao nodded and said, “Of course. I have a task for you: if you take good care of it, I’ll give you a Domino!”

Taini’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

Thank you all for your votes~ I’ll work hard to add more tomorrow!
