This Isn't Scientific!

Professor Tao?

Heh heh...

That was right—the answer had come from Professor Tao.

"I thought there had been some new discovery. I never expected it to be this question. Heh heh, I forgot to tell everyone: this student attends my class. He asked me this question once before, and I gave him a very detailed answer, telling him it was impossible. Yet I never expected him to come here and ask again."

"I don't think this person is a real Scholar at all. He's deliberately causing trouble."

"He proposes an impossible scenario, then watches everyone waste time discussing it while he sits above it all, toying with everyone like monkeys and gaining fame for himself."

"My suggestion is that everyone ignore this sort of person."

Signed—Professor Tao.

After reading it, many people immediately came to a realization.

"So that's what happened."

"Professor Tao already answered him? The original poster didn't mention that at all. Exactly—if there was already an answer, why come here and ask?"

"Attention-seeking!"

"This person may have ulterior motives."

Some people replied.

Before long, the replies that followed had completely gone off track.

"Spotted a Professor Tao."

"Watching Professor Tao. My first formula was the Wood Bear Gene, and I've been Professor Tao's fan ever since."

"Professor Tao has appeared. This thread is The End."

All kinds of comments began to appear. Some people even started viciously cursing Chen Feng directly. The entire thread had veered so far off course that no one knew where it had gone.

Chen Feng calmly continued reading.

His expression did not change, but a cold gleam appeared in his eyes.

He rarely got angry.

His incredibly unlucky life in his previous life had made Chen Feng optimistic about his current one. No matter what happened, he could face it calmly and positively! But that did not mean he was easy to bully. Another meaning behind rarely getting angry was that once he did, he was absolutely not to be ignored!

"Professor Tao..."

Chen Feng suddenly smiled.

He did not care if Professor Tao said a few things about him. But because of Professor Tao's words, no one in the entire thread was seriously answering the question anymore. Chen Feng had just gained some inspiration from the bizarre Brainhole ideas of certain people, and much of the content had truly benefited him.

But now, it was all gone.

"You're digging your own grave."

Chen Feng said calmly.

He had already decided to teach Professor Tao a lesson.

Make a post and release the Mutated Gene Reagent?

There was no need at all!

If he made a post to prove it, aside from making Professor Tao lose face, it would serve no purpose. What Chen Feng wanted was far more than that.

For example—money!

"Then let's do it this way."

Chen Feng made up his mind.

**

The next day.

Professor Tao got up early, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

Yesterday, some ignorant junior had tried to challenge him, only to be criticized so thoroughly by the "people of insight" on the Academic Forum that he did not even dare show his face now.

"Most people still have good judgment."

Just thinking about it made Professor Tao feel wonderful all over.

Wood Bear Gene?

A third mutation possibility? Are you fucking kidding me?

Professor Tao thought disdainfully. But just then, an assistant rushed over in a panic, his face so pale he looked ready to cry. "P-Professor, this is bad! The Trading Department of the Virtual Community is selling a new mutated Wood Bear Gene."

"What?"

Professor Tao frowned. A new mutated Wood Bear Gene?

How was that possible?

A sense of foreboding rose in his heart. Professor Tao followed the assistant into the Virtual Community, and when he saw the gene being sold in the Trading Department, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

Wood Bear Gene.

Base Gene: 3 Strength, 3 Constitution.

Gene Ability: Wood Bear's Fury. Increases Strength by 10% for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 60 seconds.

Price: 99,999 yuan

"Strength mutation?"

Professor Tao was completely stunned.

It had really appeared!

Just yesterday, he had been vehemently insisting that a Strength mutation was impossible. Yet today, it had appeared in the Trading Department so openly—and as the very first one!

At this moment, others began noticing the issue as well.

It was real.

Anyone who searched for Wood Bear Genes would find one gene sitting high above all other Wood Bear Genes of the same type. And upon opening it, they would discover that astonishing Gene Ability! It was absolutely unprecedented—a special gene with percentage-based Strength amplification!

At the same time, on the Academic Forum.

Some people noticed it too and began replying beneath the post. A screenshot of the Wood Bear Gene even appeared under Chen Feng's post.

"A certain gene shop has unexpectedly revealed the Wood Bear Third Mutant Gene."

"What a delightful development."

"Where did all those people who doubted the OP yesterday go?"

"Hahaha, waiting for Professor Tao to show up."

Many people grew excited.

Without question, the mutant Wood Bear Gene Chen Feng had put up for consignment attracted immense attention. Though it was limited to this small circle, it was enough to cause a sensation.

What he did not know was that, aside from Professor Tao, someone else was feeling deeply miserable.

That person was King Kong.

At Wind Pavilion, King Kong stared blankly at the absurdly expensive mutant Wood Bear Gene across from him, then at the Combat Gene he had painstakingly begged his sister to anonymously consign for him. His face turned deathly pale.

He had been surpassed again?

The Combat Gene he had worked so hard to obtain had actually been beaten by a mutated work gene?

Why?!

That guy from Wind Pavilion had not even been around these past two days! Ever since he discovered that business performance actually improved when he was absent, he had not come back at all!

But—

His sales had still gone up!

Why?

King Kong was full of grievances, but when he thought of the person who had consigned that mutant gene, he immediately wilted like an eggplant struck by frost.

It was that person again!

That rookie producer he had mocked!

He had never imagined that in just a few days, that guy would go from producing ordinary genes to producing Max Stats genes, then to producing mutant genes. And that damned mutant gene had actually made history—the Wood Bear Third Mutant Gene, something no one had ever seen before!

God.

What kind of monster had he driven away back then?

Just then.

Whoosh.

The Combat Gene in his own shop was bought for the high price of fifty thousand. King Kong's eyes immediately lit up. Right, what was he afraid of? Listing a price was one thing; actually selling it was another! That mutant Wood Bear Gene might already be comparable to a Combat Gene, but even Combat Genes only sold for tens of thousands!

By King Kong's estimation, that mutant Wood Bear Gene was worth thirty thousand at most, and that was pushing it! After all, even a Gene Reagent with a similar effect only cost twenty thousand.

Ninety-nine thousand?

Was it listed just to amuse people?

Meanwhile, the one he had consigned was the most popular kind of Combat Gene. Why should he fear a Wood Bear Gene that would not sell at all?

Thinking this, King Kong perked up again.

"Just a mere producer, I..."

Before he could finish his habitual curse, King Kong's gaze suddenly went blank as he stared dumbly ahead. Just then, a figure had walked past him.

Then...

The gene in Wind Pavilion was bought.

Ninety-nine thousand!

It had sold just like that!

King Kong was stunned.

Were there really idiots willing to pay for such an expensive gene? He simply couldn't understand it. Ninety-nine thousand could buy a pretty decent Combat Gene!

Was there something wrong with them?

Had the world gone mad?!

King Kong didn't understand.

But it hurt!

Because he had personally driven this Gene Producer, who had created a sky-high-priced gene, to a competitor? Every time he thought about it, his heart ached so badly he could barely breathe.

Why had it turned out like this?

King Kong stood there utterly dumbfounded. Ever since meeting that Gene Producer, he felt as though his entire worldview had begun to collapse. What he didn't know was that Chen Feng was just as dumbfounded.
