Scrap Buster

The changes in Guo Lei were naturally Yan Anqing's handiwork.

They were merely one part of the "Strongman Cultivation Plan."

Yan Anqing had also selected a considerable number of experiment subjects in several other countries.

The purpose of this phase was to turn someone mentally weak into a giant in both action and thought—a true powerhouse with formidable willpower, capable of rallying again and making a comeback no matter how dire their circumstances.

"LM-1 Experiment Subject Guo Lei has performed well."

Yan Anqing silently recorded Guo Lei's transformation in the database.

Among the eleven Silver-Eyed experiment subjects, no fatal flaws or adverse effects had appeared.

Setting down the potion that resembled a pale-purple liquid gemstone, Yan Anqing sent a message to Subject A.

Three minutes later, Ma Ran rushed into the laboratory like a gust of wind.

"Don't speak."

Yan Anqing made a silencing gesture, signaling for him to roll up his sleeve.

After disinfecting with povidone-iodine and alcohol, he used a sterile syringe to inject the purple Medicinal Liquid into Ma Ran's vein.

The dreamlike pale-purple potion, like a liquid gemstone, exuded a mysterious charm.

Once injected into Ma Ran's body, it was like water flowing into a river, quickly vanishing without a trace. Nothing unusual could be seen from the outside.

"This is a specialized stimulant for the Limitless Cell. It mainly acts as a catalyst. The kidneys can't process it; it can only be expelled through breathing and sweat. Its metabolic period is approximately three hundred and sixty days."

"In other words, it will continue taking effect throughout the coming year."

As Yan Anqing spoke, Ma Ran's complexion grew rosy. His dim golden eyes became brilliantly radiant, glittering as though they contained some divine splendor.

Judging from his appearance alone, he looked like a character who had stepped out of a 2D world work. His aura had changed abruptly, with none of his former dejection remaining.

He was brimming with spirit, youthful vigor, and vitality!

The corners of his lips curled upward slightly, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Ma Ran was very happy.

Though he did not know why he was happy, he simply felt so good that he could explode!

The air became sweet, and even the deathly pale walls seemed brighter. It even seemed as though the patterns in the floor concealed artistic designs that brought delight to the soul.

Many things Ma Ran had previously ignored unconsciously now appeared before his eyes one by one.

Countless thoughts surged into his mind. Every flash of inspiration and every impulse transformed into an aspiration.

Ma Ran felt that his entire body was filled with strength, with energy coursing through every limb and bone.

As vigorous as a dragon and tiger!

In his current state, no matter what work he did, he could devote twelve parts of energy and enthusiasm to it!

His thoughts were active, his mind clear.

Every second, he could gain new wisdom and ideas about life, establish new principles for his behavior, develop and strengthen his merits, avoid flaws, and make up for shortcomings!

A powerful desire to read arose within him.

Ma Ran wanted to read, to learn every piece of knowledge and every skill he could possibly acquire.

This time, he did not merely want to read. He also wanted to study every creator's philosophy of life and crystallized wisdom, making his own thoughts deeper.

He wanted to eat. He wanted to train.

He wanted his Limitless Cells to proliferate rapidly, reaching at least a 10% infection rate and attaining the same level as Yu Hongyi!

He did not want to be weaker than anyone!

Even in the most trivial of matters, he wanted to gain improvement in both personal ability and spiritual realm.

In an instant, countless thoughts ran through Ma Ran's mind.

Yet in reality, only 0.5 seconds had passed.

While the Limitless Cell most noticeably enhanced strength, endurance, and agility, it also provided considerable improvements in other areas.

For every Golden-Eyed One, Silver-Eyed, or other being with Limitless Cells who had been modified by Yan Anqing, their brain oxygen supply, blood supply, and energy supply had all reached their theoretical limits, allowing them to unleash intellectual potential that had previously remained hidden!

Without comparing him to anyone else, merely comparing him to his former self, Ma Ran's IQ had already increased by at least 35% before he received the purple potion provided by Yan Anqing.

In that state, if he returned to his student days, spent half a year studying, and took the college entrance examination, he would have been fully capable of competing for the provincial top scorer title.

Of course, that was before.

Now...

The exact extent of the change could no longer be calculated in numbers.

"After receiving this catalyst, your acetylcholine secretion will increase over the next year, and your blood will flow more smoothly."

"Also, your dopamine and endorphin secretion levels have increased. You may have already felt the effects."

Yan Anqing spoke unhurriedly. "However, for now, it still has negative effects."

"Before the potion has been fully metabolized, your subcutaneous blood vessels will dilate slightly, directing blood flow toward your skin and making your complexion somewhat red."

As he spoke, Yan Anqing pulled out the organization-issued phone, took a picture of Ma Ran, and showed it to him.

"Ha... that doesn't count as a flaw."

Ma Ran smiled with satisfaction, his lively, infectious tone making people want to smile along with him. "It's not so red that it's unacceptable. When I first heard you say it, I thought I'd end up looking like Lord Guan!"

"At this level, it can only be called 'radiant,' right?"

"What's this serum called? How long is its shelf life? Can you provide more? If it's very precious, what price do I need to pay?"

Ma Ran spoke extremely quickly, golden light gleaming in his eyes. "I can't stand going back to being useless after the effects wear off..."

Yan Anqing watched him with a faintly amused smile for a moment before replying calmly, "Let's call it Scrap Killer."

"Based on the projected data, its shelf life can reach thirty-six months if stored in a cool, dark place."

"In every sense, it isn't difficult to produce. You don't need to do anything extra, since this research outcome couldn't have been achieved without your help and contributions."

"Come by again at this time tomorrow. I'll give you five vials of Scrap Killer. Whether you use them yourself or share them with other friends, it doesn't matter."

"Also, Scrap Killer is only a catalyst. Limitless Cell is the source and the key. Remember not to skip your daily cell proliferation training."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Ran smiled with his eyes and copied Yu Hongyi, giving Yan Anqing a salute. "See you tomorrow!"

True to his decisive nature, he hurried out of the laboratory the moment he said that.

Yan Anqing watched him leave and nodded noncommittally.

Everyone longed for a more perfect version of themselves. They merely lacked the necessary material conditions.

He was quite curious what role Ma Ran would play in the new era.

Presumably, in the age of the extraordinary, there would be a place for him.

Yu Hongyi and Ma Ran—Subject A and Subject B, the two experimental subjects he valued most at present—how could they be content to remain obscure nobodies scrambling for petty gains?

As he mused, Little Panda appeared in the center of his vision once more.

"Congratulations, player, on obtaining a new achievement—Scrap Buster."

I want a "Scrap Buster" catalyst and Limitless Cell too! I really, really want them! Waaah!
