Heredity? Worth a Try. / A Physical Examination.

"Gene Lock?"

After hearing Gwen's explanation, Mobius frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"The so-called 'Gene Lock' has been proposed by some people, but that refers to something that restricts the evolution of human genes."

It's quite different from the thing you're describing that's practically guiding human evolution..."

"Don't think about it, you probably don't remember—"

Because perhaps this is a power that doesn't belong to this world.

While it was amusing to see Mobius frowning in deep thought, Gwen told him the truth to avoid being remembered by the petty Mobius.

"Not belonging to... this world?"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Mobius raised an eyebrow, then frowned even more deeply.

"Well, in short, this is a force from outside the world..."

To be precise, it is a force originating from outside the existence of the Imaginary Tree.

Gwen nodded, explaining to Mobius as best he could with his own understanding—

To put it more vividly, the world we live in is like leaves growing on the Imaginary Tree.

And the Gene Lock... is the power I obtained from outside the Imaginary Tree..."

As he spoke, Gwen began to demonstrate the Gene Lock's abilities to Mobius—

"In the face of life-threatening danger and the fear of death, people with strong obsessions can unleash the potential of humanity. This is the first stage of the Gene Lock, which can restore the fighting instincts of humans as biological beings and the ability to perceive danger."

However, this ultimately damages the original genes, and after a short period of strength, one must face a backlash that is almost impossible for ordinary people to withstand.

Furthermore, frequent activation without proper conditioning may lead to genetic damage.

At the second stage, people are able to begin to adapt to the backlash of unlocking the Gene Lock, replacing the nervous system with the soul chain to regulate the operation of every cell at the gene level.

Upon reaching the second stage, one can theoretically control 90% of their body, unleashing 100% of their potential power. Muscles, blood, nerves, and the five senses will all be greatly enhanced, and even the flow of energy within the body can be controlled.

The second-tier liberation represents extraordinary resilience, responsiveness, physical toughness, and strength.

"And in the third stage, the potential for Gene Lock development shifted from the body to the brain—"

In addition to a significant increase in basic Remembrance, intelligence, and thinking speed, the user also awakens a sixth sense, which can be used to simulate the thinking of familiar people, use their skills, and even use simulation to perceive the enemy's psychological activities and predict their next attack.

Of course, these are just the surface effects; the real difference lies in the significant increase in computing power.

Moreover, unlike the first-order passive acceptance of information and then relying on instinctive movement, once the third order is activated, anyone possesses image construction and object analysis capabilities comparable to those of a conventional computer.

An average person might not be able to come up with a rough idea in ten seconds, but after unlocking the third tier, they can construct a detailed model in an instant.

Gwen spoke, he gently waved his hand, and a figure of light appeared beside Mobius.

Mobius turned his head to look, but his eyes widened in surprise—

The self I used to only see in the mirror is now smiling at me?

Subconsciously, Mobius sent a jolt of electricity at the mature version of himself beside him.

However, the dark green current only passed through the Mobius and shattered the light on the roof.

"..."

Seeing this, Mobius regained his intellectual advantage and realized that this was just an adult version of himself that Gwen had deduced from him, and his gaze darkened.

But when she looked at Gwen, a bright smile appeared on Mobius's delicate and pretty face—

"What about the fourth stage?"

"The fourth level is divided into more detailed categories, but I haven't reached that level yet, so I'm not very clear about it."

Gwen, however, had no intention of explaining further, simply glossing over the matter—

"However, if I'm not mistaken, once you reach that level, you'll be almost indistinguishable from the so-called 'gods' in mythology."

"All right..."

Although he really wanted to pry Gwen's mouth open and make him continue, Mobius was already quite satisfied with the information he had already obtained.

With a radiant smile on her face, bright enough to be featured in a promotional video, Mobius tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling—

"Big brother, can you tell me how you obtained this Gene Lock?"

Although the stringent activation conditions and the backlash are indeed troublesome, if this Gene Lock could be widely available, combined with previous research and ideas...

"A viral stock solution with the ability to unlock Gene Lock potential, but I've already used it—"

Faced with Mobius's expectant gaze, Gwen's answer was like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head.

"..."

For a moment, the bright expression on Mobius's face froze.

At that moment, Gwen saw a range of emotions in Mobius's eyes, including but not limited to "astonishment, surprise, anger, dissatisfaction, and helplessness."

After multiple deaths and rebirths, her small chest, barely showing any signs of development, heaved violently. Mobius, her serpentine eyes gleaming with danger, managed to calm herself, and a hopeful smile returned to her small face.

"Big brother, do you still have the container that contained the virus stock solution?"

"My situation was quite urgent at the time. I was facing a nuclear explosion designed by Velvie at close range. In order to protect myself, I activated a mecha that far exceeded the level of Earth's technology, so I used it directly."

As for the container, it had already been evaporated by the high temperature.

Gwen shrugged and said, half-jokingly.

His situation was real, but the fate of the T-Virus Stock Solution container was fake—

He's not an antisocial personality; only an idiot would bring out that T-virus.

The item disappeared immediately after he clicked "use" in his system inventory.

Upon hearing Gwen's reply, Mobius's smile froze once more—

This lifelong dream seemed within reach, yet the hope was shattered twice in a row, giving Mobius the pain of being attacked by Thousand-Man Herrscher.

"Of course, besides that viral stock solution, there are other ways to allow this power to take root in this world."

Seeing Mobius's stiff expression, Gwen gave Mobius hope again before the emotions that were building up in Mobius could erupt.

"What method?"

This time, Mobius could no longer muster that bright, sunny smile, but there was still a light shining in his eyes.

Meeting that eager gaze, Gwen raised a finger—

"First, when I become strong enough—strong enough to influence the entire world, strong enough to write the Gene Lock into the underlying logic of the Imaginary Tree."

At that time, it will be only natural that humanity will be able to unlock the Gene Lock.

Even without reaching the level of the ancient inner universe, as long as one reaches the level of a star god and takes the Gene Lock as the direction of destiny, this goal may be achieved.

"...

What about second?

Listening to Gwen's proposal, Mobius silently categorized it as "Cang Xuan's delusion that he could become a rich man."

"If it's number two..."

Gwen, however, did not extend his middle finger, but instead showed a hint of hesitation—

"It's uncertain whether it will succeed."

Let's see if my offspring possess the Gene Lock.

If people from the outer multiverse can unlock their offspring or even themselves after they go to the infinite multiverse, then perhaps he, who brought out the Gene Lock, can do the same.

"Genetics? Worth a try..."

Faced with Gwen's guess, Mobius's expression relaxed somewhat, and he nodded slightly before continuing to press for an answer—

Are there three?

"Three... is perhaps even less reliable."

Gwen did indeed have a third option—

"Outside the Solar System, there exists an organization called 'Memory Nebula,' whose members are mostly memes."

Moreover, even the Primeval Doctor from the Genius Club is conducting experiments with memes.

If we can master meme-related technologies, it might be possible to propagate Gene Lock as memes.

"Memes?"

Beyond the Solar System?

This time, Mobius's attention was inevitably drawn to certain information in Gwen's words.

"Yes, that's right. As far as I know, Gene Lock are, in a sense, a kind of meme—"

As long as you believe you are human, then even if you are a mass-produced robot that took two and a half years to manufacture, you can still activate a meme...

By the way, Doctor, you should know what a meme is, right?

"You should ask that idiot Elysia about that question."

Upon hearing this, Mobius rolled his eyes at Gwen and then fell into deep thought.

Upon hearing this, Gwen became interested and, instead of disturbing Mobius, asked Elysia, with whom he shared vision—

"Elysia, do you know what a meme is?"

"Um, this..."

Pink Fairy Lady, who couldn't be considered a mother but also had little to do with high education, was momentarily speechless.

Chapter 454 Physical Examination.

"Looks like we're in the same boat, neither of us knew..."

Realizing he had inadvertently revealed the true nature of Elysia's sexuality, Gwen chuckled and voluntarily joined the ranks of sexual predators.

"Um?

Such thoughtful consideration for a girl's feelings is definitely a plus!

Upon hearing this, Elysia had just been feeling a little awkward, instantly understood Gwen's purpose and immediately praised him with a smile.

Whether memes actually exist and can be used in this kind of thing is another matter—

Across from Gwen, Mobius, unaware of Gwen's conversation with Elysia, stared intently at Gwen. The gaze, so intense that even the still-unconscious Danzhu would surely think, "The Doctor is going to eat Gwen," drew a glance from him—a gaze that even Gwen couldn't help but notice.

"Before that, let's talk about the world outside the Solar System?"

Memory Nebula?

And that... Genius Club?

Making no attempt to hide his thirst for knowledge, Mobius sat down in a chair, pulled out paper and pen, and looked like a primary school student preparing for class.

"If you're really interested—"

Gwen readily accepted Mobius's requests, smiling and nodding in agreement, and began to extract useful information from his limited knowledge.

That's about it—

Those geniuses, while possessing unparalleled talent, are, in terms of their behavior, largely capable of being described as problem children.

Gwen tilted his head back and gulped down the hot tea that Mobius had eagerly offered, then gave his assessment of the Genius Club—

"After all, I am the most mediocre of the mediocre, and my brainwaves are simply no match for those geniuses."

"You can't be considered mediocre; it's just that your talent isn't focused on... your intelligence..."

Tossing aside a notebook brimming with over ten pages of notes, Mobius poured himself a sip of tea, set down his cup, and looked at Gwen with a beaming smile—

"Speaking of which, you seem to know a bit about us in the Elysian Realm. Hasn't anyone told you not to eat anything given by Mobius?"
