Physical Enhancement

Humans have ventured into space, but out of habit, time is still calculated using units from Earth Era: 365 days a year, or Earth year, or Earth day.

On the other hand, because the Callisto was mostly Chinese, some important festivals have been passed down, such as the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival.

And now, at this very moment, the New Year is approaching.

However, nowadays there is no Spring Festival Gala; instead, there is only a 15-day holiday, during which the people celebrate according to their own customs and traditions.

The physical conditioning program was scheduled before the Spring Festival.

This arrangement serves two purposes: firstly, it coincides with a holiday, and some personnel who went ashore have returned to the spacecraft, ensuring everyone is present; secondly, it allows people to enjoy a holiday filled with food and drink.

Humanity now has a Star System to rely on, and resources are virtually inexhaustible, making it an era of great material abundance.

Food processing technology has also made great strides in recent years, and starch products have flourished. Basically, all foods related to starch on Earth can now be synthesized, and various flavors are readily available.

As for meat, although it cannot be artificially produced, it contains sufficient artificial protein. With the addition of various flavorings and seasonings, it is Dao Foundation of various meats.

Wine, once a luxury item, is now readily available everywhere.

Just before the Spring Festival, people who have undergone physical enhancement and transformation can eat and drink to their heart's content, eating eight meals a day.

On this day, the New Government set up Enhancement Elixir injection points on the Hope and several other Residential Spaceship.

Countless residents arrived excitedly at their designated registration points at their appointed times, eagerly awaiting the moment they would transform into superhumans.

Meanwhile, in the cabins with high traffic, announcements about the effects of the registration Enhancement Elixir, as well as various instructions and precautions, were being played.

"Hey, Brother Bu! What a coincidence! What are you doing at a regular injection site? That doesn't seem right, it's more lively when there are more people here."

A familiar voice caught Bu Yaode as he was playing on his phone in the waiting area. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a familiar person of similar age walking towards him from the cabin door.

"Hey, don't even mention it. I messed up a mission a few days ago and got fined three months' salary. Now I'm so broke I can barely afford to fart, let alone go to a special injection site." Bu Yaode said helplessly. He wished he could get some special enhancements, but he had no money.

"What mission is so important? Uh... it can't be classified, can it? If it is, then never mind." The newcomer took a few steps to Bu Yaode's side and sat down on the empty seat on the bench next to him.

"I'm just an excavator operator, what secrets could I possibly have?" Bu Yaode muttered to himself, then continued, "It was during a mission to capture Sea Beast that, due to my misjudgment, our team lost a landing craft and suffered serious injuries to 20,000 members."

"Damn, so you were the one who led that failed mission in the news! You definitely deserve to be punished. I think three months is too little; you should be demoted."

"Your sister!" Bu Yaode's face darkened, and he cursed his bad friend in his heart.

"Don't worry about my sister, she's at a special injection site."

"Then why did you come here? It's more lively with so many people around?" Bu Yaode asked curiously, stuffing his phone into his pocket and looking at his friend next to him.

He knew this guy well; although his family wasn't well-off, he was quick-witted. After finishing his studies, he started doing small businesses to earn Contribution Coins, and now he seems to be running a home renovation company, specializing in providing personalized interior design services to homeowners. Lately, it seems to be doing quite well, and he's the type who has some savings, so there's no reason for him not to have money.

Yes, money.

Nowadays, when people talk about money, they are basically referring to Contribution Coins, as Old Coin have been phased out by the market due to their limited practicality.

Wherever there are people, there is a social dynamic; as long as people have a need for exchange, commerce will exist. Therefore, even though daily necessities can be obtained for free, other commercial activities will still occur.

The New Government did not organize commercial activities because the awareness of individuals at this stage has not reached the standard of communism. The New Government needs a healthy internal cycle in human society.

"Hey, don't even mention it, my sister borrowed all the money," the man replied.

"That can't be right. What kind of gene does she need to activate that costs so much?" Bu Yaode's interest was even more piqued. It was clear that he cared a lot about his friend's sister.

"Cat Eye".

"Holy crap, that's ruthless? That's 50,000 Contribution Coins! That's five years' salary of mine, they're really rich! And I remember that thing can't switch to normal human vision, right?" Bu Yaode appeared surprised, but inwardly he was looking forward to seeing what his friend's sister would look like with Cat Eye.

"No, she just thinks it looks good. Who understands? You can't stop her anyway. She's my only daughter. What else can I do but give it to her?"

Relatives are close for three generations, but after that, they are no longer considered family members or blood relatives. This is an ethical and moral consensus that has been formed in human society for many years. It is also a consensus that children need to leave their parents and live independently after they reach adulthood. Therefore, many people care a lot about true relatives.

The discovery of the Cat Eye gene expression fragment was purely accidental. Therefore, while it's possible to modify the expression of the dominant gene for the Cat Eye trait in humans, the specific relationship between this gene expression and the expression of the human eye trait remains unclear. Consequently, it's impossible to completely transfer Cat Eye functions to the human eye, such as simply giving the human eye dynamic vision function; the only possible approach is to modify the human eye to resemble Cat Eye.

"Well done." Bu Yaode chuckled, inwardly agreeing with his friend lending money to his sister.

"What do you mean, 'Well done'?"

"Oh, it's nothing."

Realizing he'd let something slip, Bu Yaode quickly changed the subject. "Hey Brother Long, it's rare for you to have a break, how about coming to my house tomorrow for a couple of drinks? Invite your sister too!"

Brother Long?! The man called Brother Long's face darkened. He had told his old dorm buddies countless times not to call him Brother Long, but to just call him by his full name Long Dalin or Dalin. But the more he said it, the more enthusiastically they called him that, especially Bu Yaode.

"And I'm calling my sister too. She'll be a glutton tomorrow. Aren't you afraid she'll eat you out of house and home?" Long Dalin patted his abs. He'd had an injection of a booster and taken some supplements today, so he was definitely going to eat eight meals a day tomorrow.

The main point is that when you invite people to your home, you can't very well serve them the basic rations that you get for free and that have no taste. You have to serve them the good food that you buy with your Contribution Coins. If you really let them eat to their hearts' content, you might end up eating them out of house and home.

And this guy just said he had three months' salary docked. How come he's being so generous? While pondering this, Long Dalin suddenly realized something and belatedly exclaimed, "Holy crap, do you want to be my brother-in-law?!"
