Research into a high-level field like gene awakening was certainly not something Su Mo had casually made up to win Katerina's trust.
After all, lying in an area the other party specialized in was far too easy to expose.
What he had revealed tentatively was not research currently being conducted in the territory.
It was research being carried out at the Jiu Zhou Great Rift Valley Base.
According to the information Old Wang had provided,
the points players gained after upgrading their routes could immediately grant bonuses if assigned to the relevant attributes.
The bonuses took effect extremely quickly, requiring only about half a day to a day to complete.
For an academy base studying biological evolution, this phenomenon was simply inconceivable, like a gift from the gods.
That was precisely why they had kept capturing players, hoping to uncover the secret behind this sudden evolution.
"Of course we tried simulating an evolutionary environment long ago. It was a dead end, though not an absolute one."
"Everyone knows that physical exercise can improve strength and physique, while frequently thinking through problems can improve intelligence and expression."
"But if you want to stimulate gene evolution, unless you can constantly break through the limits of humanity, it's simply impossible."
Katerina put aside her contempt, and a trace of seriousness appeared on her face.
The reasoning was simple.
A top sprinter could continually break their personal record, cutting the time down further and further.
From eleven seconds to ten, then to nine and a half.
Every improvement stimulated the genes, causing more pheromones to be released and raising the upper limit of potential.
If an athlete could maintain their physical health indefinitely, then in theory, that number would never stop improving until all the genes related to athletic performance had been fully developed.
