Cellular Woman

"Stop vomiting, or this female executive will start to doubt whether she's pregnant."

The senior engineer snapped his fingers, revealing an office building where a tattooed female executive was leaning over a sink, pretending to vomit, while cautiously looking around.

As we all know, pregnancy is a major taboo in the workplace. In the Cyber Test Site, once pregnant, it means double the workload. The reason is simple: if there are two of you, you will naturally have to do the work of two people. Under the guise of letting the baby adapt to the workplace environment in advance, there are even some special drugs that can develop the baby's brainpower in advance and enhance the pregnant woman's work efficiency.

Therefore, when superiors have heart-to-heart talks with female employees, they will earnestly advise them to get pregnant, saying that it will help improve their work performance.

With current technology, all the pregnancy symptoms can be easily managed. The company has a delivery room, so working while giving birth is not a problem at all.

Of course, most female employees are unwilling to do this, because once you get pregnant at work, it means that your child belongs to the company, not to you.

The capsule-like person finally stopped secreting vomiting hormones, raised their head, and looked at the mysterious person.

Holy crap, what a handsome dandy.

Even with his skill in pinching faces thousands of times, he couldn't achieve even a fraction of the other person's beauty.

This kind of cute boy can't be shown to our anime/manga waifus, or they'll rebel.

The senior engineer knew better than anyone what the other party was thinking. After all, as the king of otaku in his previous life, he had seen all kinds of otaku.

Under the ripples of the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype's gaze, H blushed and stammered:

"Who are you?"

Oh no, XP shows signs of being modified.

The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype sized up the other person, then suddenly revealed a stunning smile. Her figure suddenly appeared opposite the other person, and with a light touch of her finger, she pressed down on the other person's abdomen.

That's where the "Dark Otaku Bible" chip is located.

The next moment, a torrent of data erupted, transforming into countless humanoid figures: white-haired, cat-tailed, animal-eared, large-breasted, young lady, female knight, ahoge loli, boss lady, female ninja, dancer, married woman, maid...

Tens of thousands of anime/manga waifus have appeared.

These are all the anime/manga wives of other cybernetic races.

Only this Cyber God would allow those shut-ins to offer their wives as gifts.

"What are you doing?!"

Capsule Man H was furious. Streams of black data swirled around him. This thing was dangerous; even a Red Wing Assassin would collapse if hit by it.

This is his divine weapon.

The senior engineer ignored him, rubbing his hands together repeatedly, sending countless sparks of data flying from his palms and splashing onto his two-dimensional waifus.

The wives, who were being burned by the sparks, clearly showed signs of discomfort.

"You!

Capsule Man H could no longer hold back; the black data stream transformed into a long whip, lashing fiercely at Senior Engineer.

Without even looking up, the Rich Lady Aiai Prototype grabbed the divine whip, which was flashing with black light, and with a flick of her wrists, turned it into even more dazzling data sparks.

Divinity, to put it simply, is not mysterious. On a virtual level, it is the underlying architecture; on a real level, it is the law of physics. Those who can master them can naturally condense divinity.

As a veteran in the world of doujinshi (fan-made comics) who creates virtual worlds by hand, this kind of underlying architecture is nothing.

Capsule Man H gradually revealed a look of astonishment, because these two-dimensional wives had obviously become more realistic and vivid, as if they had been upgraded from ordinary 2D to 3D-rendered 2D. H could even clearly feel the breathing of the wives who were close to him, as well as their body fragrance.

"These are all my brothers' wives, these are all my brothers' wives."

Capsule Person H quickly repeated a few sentences to himself.

It's clear that he is superior to someone else in terms of character.

As the wives became more and more vivid, even giving the impression of transforming into living beings, something even more miraculous happened.

The wives' "offline husbands" have appeared.

These cybernetic beings, burned to death in the fire, suddenly appeared before Capsule Man H. However, compared to these real wives, the cybernetic beings were covered in unstable mosaics, like the images on an old-fashioned television.

"Is this all the hacking skill can achieve with their current level?"

The senior engineer stopped operating the machine, somewhat disappointed.

In Mr. G's view, the extremely poor-quality personality replication was nothing short of a miracle for capsule human H.

"They... they've been resurrected?" H exclaimed, both surprised and delighted.

"Connection is important," the senior engineer nodded, "When you create them, a part of you unconsciously becomes one with them."

"I simply used virtual means to copy this part."

"Whether or not you can be resurrected depends on you."

"I?"

"Isn't it only natural for a cyber god to resurrect his followers?"

"But I don't know anything," the capsule-like person muttered to himself.

"Your ability to combine the code of humanity, the code of divinity, and the data of the cyber race is enough to prove your talent. What you lack now is only the necessary knowledge."

The Rich Lady Aiai Prototype revealed a sly smile.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

It took almost no effort for Capsule Man H to be completely convinced. There was no way around it; for the Lord of Gensokyo, it was like a dimensional reduction attack on a hardcore otaku, and not just one dimension.

The senior engineer showed the other party a certain possibility, and the senior engineer also needed the other party to grasp their own power as soon as possible before the big battle.

The otaku who was elevated to godhood by tens of millions of cybernetic beings possesses far more power than just this.

At six o'clock in the morning on Fuqing Island, Dr. Yu, who was organizing her documents and luggage, was surprised to hear some news.

The technological lock on metal cells has been unlocked.

However, she was only slightly surprised before regaining her composure.

The working environment here is excellent, the facilities are complete, and Mr. G even helped her resolve a series of problems caused by bankruptcy.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so ungrateful.

The only problem is that what the other party wants her to study is large-scale biological transformation, while what she wants to study is the origin of life.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction.

Therefore, all she could do was apologize to the other party.

The first common ancestor of all life is the direction she seeks.

From the simplest genetic parasites to large viruses, bacteria, simple eukaryotes, complex eukaryotic cells, and finally multicellular organisms, everything is stable and perfect.

This is simply incredible.

But it just happened naturally.

In Dr. Yu's view, this is simply the most beautiful and incredible process in the world.

No matter the cost, she is determined to find out the truth.

There was a knock on the door.

Dr. Yu frowned. Through the monitoring, she saw the 'boss's' mechanical form.

Is this guy still not giving up?

Dr. Yu took a deep breath, just as she was about to give a firm rebuttal, when she opened the door and heard a sweet voice.

"Hello, sister!" Xiao Yu said cheerfully.

"You, you are—"

Dr. Yu was somewhat surprised and uncertain. She wasn't interested in cosplay or anything like that, but she had heard of the cross-dressing master.

Could it be that Mr. G is actually an expert in this field?

Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "It's me, it's me. I'm not the boss, the boss is busy right now."

Judging from the presence of the creature, it was definitely not the same person as yesterday.

"Little girl, who are you?"

"My name is Xiao Yu, Xiao from the Xiao family, and Yu from electronic rain," Xiao Yu said as soon as she rushed in, rattling off a whole bunch of things.

"Sister, are you a biologist? That's amazing! My dad used to tell me to respect scientists, that they're the real monsters. Ah! I'm not saying you're a monster, but there are so many bottles and jars in your room, what are they? Don't worry, I have great balance, I promise I won't bump into any of these things."

Dr. Yu pursed her lips. This little girl was really too informal. But, her surname was Xiao?

Dr. Yu also has a mentor, who is a descendant of the empire. He often tells her stories about the past of the empire, and the Xiao family is a frequently mentioned term.

But none of that matters anymore.

Just as Dr. Yu was about to ask the overly lively girl to leave, Xiao Yu slapped her forehead and exclaimed in surprise.

"I almost forgot, the boss asked me to come here because of something, Sister Yu. The boss told me you can heal my injuries, right?"

"Injuries?"

Dr. Yu glanced at the crack on the other party's mechanical body and shook his head, saying, "I am a biologist, not a mechanical scientist. You have the wrong person."

"Oh~"

Xiao Yu pouted, looking aggrieved, which inexplicably made Dr. Yu feel guilty, but then she seemed to have thought of something else.

"Oh, right, the boss also said that if you don't agree, he'll show you this."

Xiao Yu slapped his forehead, his eyes changed, and the terrifying killing intent caused cracks to appear in the surrounding glassware. The next moment, black energy converted from Honkai energy surged from all parts of his body, and each wisp of black energy made Dr. Yu feel suffocated.

"This, this is—"

"The Nika bacteria's massive fission!"

??

Almost no one knows that the origin of life is not a birth, but a destruction.

One bacterium somehow inhabits another body.

This inhabitant moved in a destructive manner, directly breaking down the energy shackles of another bacterium.

The remnants after the disintegration, over a long period of time, underwent a great evolution of species.

This process is the energy release process of the 'Nika bacteria'.

The energy released by the 'Nika bacteria' during this process is called 'Honkai energy' in ancient texts.

The senior engineer, or rather, the senior engineer who only has a mechanical head, is working on the control panel with a tube inserted into the back of his head.

It must be admitted that there is a considerable gap between a level 10 biologist and a level 20 originologist.

After breaking the seal on the metal cells, he worked all night to unlock the three gene chains.

Moreover, these three gene chains are also the gene chains of "child".

This is really frustrating.

As a software expert, he was indeed not good at hardware.

A colossal structure; he hadn't built anything like it in his previous life.

The senior engineer's problem was quickly resolved.

Dr. Yu rushed over with terrifying speed, still holding a bewildered Xiao Yu in his hand.

"You're here, just in time to get to work."

The senior engineer had the air of a capitalist, chin raised, nose twitching, eyes full of disdain, looking at him like he was trash.

I've already lured you in, so what's the point of being so nonchalant?

"Boss, the way you're acting makes me want to punch you. Can I slap you?" the honest Xiao Yu said seriously.

"Cannot."

"Oh~~"

"What are you looking at? Get to work! Do you want me to whip you?"

Dr. Yu glared at the other person fiercely, knowing that she was completely under their control. Although she had a million questions she wanted to ask, why did Honkai energy appear in a mechanical girl? Why did the energy of Nika cells reawaken after hundreds of thousands of years? Why...

But she understood one principle: do things first, then speak.

"Stay away from me. I made some minor modifications when I left the association, but I'm not very proficient at them."

"Okay!"

Xiao Yu pulled the senior engineer's mechanical head out of the tube at the back of his head like pulling a radish, and ran away with it.

Dr. Yu took a deep breath. It was a pity there were no biological detectors here, otherwise he could have observed that the other party's bio-energy was beginning to rise rapidly.

Countless transparent bubbles rose from her body, as if she were covered in blisters. These 'bubbles' had strange tentacles on their surfaces, and each 'bubble' was different in shape, round, oval, caterpillar-shaped, and so on.

In the cyber test site, even the most seemingly normal person is probably not so normal after all.

Especially when the other party is a top talent in the industry.

"So that's how it is!" the senior engineer muttered to himself.

"What is it?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

Dr. Rain's voice rang out.

"This planet is a giant cauldron of thriving cells."

"Every body is a 'public enterprise' where billions of cells cooperate and coexist."

"The relationship between the host and the cell is one of mutual nourishment through metabolism."

"Until this balance is broken!"

The next moment, Dr. Rain's skin disappeared, leaving only a bright red, peeled flesh.

The densely packed 'bubbles' almost covered the entire experimental center.

Then, they frantically burrowed into the petri dish.

The petri dish resembled boiling water, with frantic bubbles bubbling on its surface.

Meanwhile, the resolution also began to rise rapidly, changing almost every ten seconds.

"What beautiful bubbles!"

Xiao Yu stared blankly at these crystal-clear 'bubbles', unable to resist wanting to touch them.

"Don't touch it," the senior engineer said. "These are someone else's cells."

"It's just a cell magnified ten thousand times."

As it turns out, capitalist behavior is effective; in less than half an hour, the resolution of Tong's nerve cells and the metal cells of the collider reached 100%.

Dr. Yu had somehow returned to normal, his face was pale, and he looked ten years older, with wrinkles appearing on his face.

She glared fiercely at the senior engineer.

"Can we talk now?"

"Certainly."

At the same time, in the artificially fresh morning air, the first high-explosive nuclear bomb from the City That Never Sleeps landed on the continent of Demi-humans.
