The newcomer wore gold-rimmed glasses, was tall, and dressed in apricot-yellow casual pants and a fitted black shirt. He had a refined appearance, spoke and acted with composure, exuding a steady aura from within.

This was Qu Li, a promising seeded player for Mojuke before Yan Anqing's rise to prominence, a Tier 1 researcher.

A person's reputation precedes them.

Qu Li had been famous for many years, and even Huang Zhaolan, who had only recently flown from Magic City to the Capital City, had heard of him to some extent.

The current situation was rather laughable.

Huang Zhaolan's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, neither able to retract nor to grab Yan Anqing by the collar.

He was in a difficult position, completely cornered.

"As a researcher, shouldn't you be doing research and writing papers instead of interfering with your colleagues? What are you thinking?"

Qu Li looked coldly at Huang Zhaolan and reprimanded him without mercy, "I've studied all your diaries and writings from when you were twelve until now."

"Judging by your demeanor, you're treating Yan Anqing like Tesla and yourself like Edison? Are you worthy?"

Huang Zhaolan swallowed, forcing a stiff smile onto his face, his lips turning a purplish hue from lack of oxygen.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, impossible to wipe away, and his palms were slick with clammy sweat.

"You've misunderstood, I..."

Qu Li stared at Huang Zhaolan expressionlessly. Without a word, he rendered Huang Zhaolan unable to utter another sound.

He couldn't argue his way out of this...

Huang Zhaolan simply disliked Yan Anqing and, with a sliver of hope, wanted to see if he could gain some advantage from him.

He had also heard about Qu Li's deeds.

When it came to playing mind games and schemes, the one who would most likely end up dead was not this seemingly refined gentleman, but himself, Huang Zhaolan.

After a long silence, Qu Li said indifferently, "I advise you to behave yourself and keep a low profile."

"No matter how you've been getting by in Magic City..."

"Here in the Capital City, I call the shots!"

Huang Zhaolan, having been thoroughly berated like a grandson, finally received permission and fled the scene as if granted a great pardon.

Watching his retreating back, a flicker of disdain crossed Qu Li's eyes.

Yan Anqing was someone only he could step on!

And only he could step on.

After all, this person was the opponent he, Qu Li, had acknowledged.

What was Huang Zhaolan in comparison!

With this thought, Qu Li suddenly realized...

Yan Anqing had left at some point.

"Hmph..."

There was a saying Qu Li had heard on his seventh birthday.

He didn't remember who said it, but he had never forgotten its content, even treating it as a life motto, constantly reminding himself.

"What ultimately determines a person's style and position is never what they say or do. It depends on their enemies, their fated rivals, and the heights they ultimately reach."

Yan Anqing was the "fated rival" that Qu Li had identified.

In the Mojuke laboratory.

Yan Anqing was silently contemplating how to break through the Tier 1 limit.

In other planes, Tier 1 was merely the beginning of individual transcendence.

But in the Absolute Demon Earth plane, Tier 1 seemed to be the end of the road.

What Yan Anqing was doing was not following in the footsteps of his predecessors, diligently practicing various secret manuals, consuming rare treasures, and participating in combat training to naturally achieve the leap and transformation of life levels.

He was forging a completely new path of cultivation for himself.

As it stood, to increase the infection rate of the Limitless Cell beyond 10%, he had to solve the problem of muscle strength.

After some thought, Yan Anqing chose a relatively simple and crude solution.

"If I use the Copy and Paste functions newly unlocked by my golden finger to replace skeletal muscle with artificial carbon fiber muscles... would that be feasible?"

This idea of Yan Anqing's would be extremely difficult for other scientists.

They would still need to solve the energy problem and find ways to power the artificial muscles.

Currently, there were two methods.

One was to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.

By constructing muscle blocks with curved carbon nanotubes containing catalysts, the electrodes of a fuel cell and a supercapacitor would continuously generate power in a hydrogen-rich environment, thereby producing mechanical motion.

The other method was to convert chemical energy into thermal energy.

The reaction of hydrogen and ethanol provides energy, which is utilized with specially made memory metal wires.

For example, when the temperature drops, the metal wires contract, reducing the catalyst's effect, and the artificial muscles relax and contract.

Yan Anqing calculated that the artificial muscles created by the second method would possess the greatest strength, approximately 130 times that of normal skeletal muscles.

However, he could directly graft Limitless Cells, constructing a physical structure that allowed the Limitless Cells to provide energy directly.

"If successful, the theoretical limit for these muscles would be a carrying capacity of 12,000 times, and an absolute strength 3,000 times that of a healthy adult human at the current stage."

"This way, we can bypass Tier 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and directly ascend from Tier 1."

"Setting aside other aspects, at least in terms of 'Strength,' one could instantly reach the power level of a Tier 7 Legend."

Yan Anqing devised an experiment plan that seemed perfect.

However, before success, anything that is merely theoretical holds no practical significance.

The remaster experiment began with a lab rat.

"There are no issues whatsoever."

Looking at the muscular lab rat in the tempered glass cage, Yan Anqing's lips curled slightly: "Its personality and behavioral patterns remain unchanged, and its absolute strength easily suppresses all its peers."

"Currently, it can only exert 15 times its normal strength. Perhaps the brain's self-protection mechanism is at play?"

The carbon fiber muscles Yan Anqing created had a very high contraction limit. If they were to exert their theoretical maximum from the start, the lab rat would likely have its skin burst, its bones shatter into dust, and explode into a mist of blood.

As it stands, the modification plan is proceeding quite smoothly.

The second step is human modification.

The best experimental subject would naturally be a golden-eyed individual.

For experiments with such a high degree of uncertainty, Yan Anqing would not have his most obedient test subjects A and B, Ma Ran and Yu Hongyi, bear the risk directly.

It took some time, but Yan Anqing found a suitable candidate.

An Indian man.

Kira Wolma.

Although the surname Wolma is a bit amusing, in India, it is indeed a Kshatriya surname, a standard high-status family name.

Kira was born with a sense of superiority and was incredibly noble, looking down on all commoners who achieved success through their own efforts.

After the Crimson Moon Incident, having become a golden-eyed individual, he was thrust into the spotlight.

Many spread rumors that he was the foremost among India's "Three Chosen Kings."

With experience, human modification would be ten thousand times simpler and easier, going from 1 to 2, compared to going from nothing to something!

In just five minutes, Yan Anqing transformed Kira Wolma into a berserker with super artificial muscles.

The panda, which had been appearing frequently at the edge of his vision, once again pushed its way into view...

"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the achievement - [Script Compiler]."

"You have created an era's 'protagonist,' attempting to make this uninteresting world more colorful."

"Current Main Quest completion progress: 14/30."

Yan Anqing shook his head.

"Protagonist?"

A playful smile flickered in his eyes.

Huang Zhaolan's existence was never meant for the protagonist to show off or overcome challenges; he was there to help other characters establish their image and support certain theories.

Oh my, if I were to break down and explain all of this, it would lose its mystery. So, even if I explain it, I can't be too thorough, otherwise, it would be like giving away spoilers. I apologize for not elaborating on this person's storyline here.

In the future, please have a little more confidence in Ran Lengguang; every storyline has its own value and significance...

Well, please vote for recommendations! Remember to catch up every day! (Whispering)
