Girl Transformation Infinite Proliferation, My Numbers Are a Disaster

"File: R-Type Virus"

"R-Type Virus? Isn't this just what the newspaper said before?"

She steadied herself and flipped open the first page of the file:

"R-Type Virus is a special neural virus. Infected individuals often believe they retain a healthy consciousness and possess normal communication abilities. However, in the eyes of healthy people, this communication is disjointed—their thoughts are fragmented and frequently jump around."

"Patients do not notice their own abnormalities. As the infection deepens, we gradually find it harder to understand what the patient is saying. After more than two hours since onset, the lethal characteristics of the R-Type Virus become apparent, specifically manifesting as... full-body ulceration, intense persecutory delusions, and attacking every healthy person they see, believing the healthy person attacked them first. They emit meaningless roars and harbor hostility toward all non-infected individuals."

"Some infected individuals have been observed using weapons to attack ordinary crowds. Sometimes they attack the air, showing great hostility toward it. The medical team believes the virus damages their brains, causing hallucinations. Interestingly, patients seem able to communicate with each other, and quite harmoniously."

"Two weeks ago, news broke of an infected individual attempting to seize a nuclear launch device. I began to take an interest in the mechanism of this type of virus. Unfortunately, after thorough research, I still do not understand how this virus spreads."

Glancing briefly through the file, Ye Xin couldn't help but frown.

"It matches."

Bringing the file back to the third-floor ward, the other two had just returned as well.

Ye Xin placed the file she'd obtained on the table: "This."

The two took turns reading it, exchanging bewildered looks.

"According to this, we're the crazy ones?" Xuan Ya said, torn between laughter and tears.

"Take a look at what I found." Shi Wenshan pulled out a piece of paper.

On it were only two lines:

The cure for the R-Type Virus has already been made, hidden inside a wall of the hospital. Unfortunately, my injuries are too severe for me to retrieve the medicine alone. If you're reading this note and you're still lucid, try to find it.

"Even if the cure exists, there's no time to look for it." Shi Wenshan's tone was helpless.

Xuan Ya: "..."

Ye Xin stood up: "There's a water dispenser nearby. Go get some water. I'll perform Purification, and then we'll have all the patients—and ourselves—drink it."

Time was running out. This was the last chance.

"Alright." Both teammates nodded simultaneously.

A few minutes later, everyone held a cup of water.

"I'll count to three. Let's all drink together."

The patients looked confused and anxious as they raised their cups.

"3, 2, 1... drink."

Gulp, gulp—

Everyone drank it down.

After the water entered their stomachs, everyone waited nervously.

Over ten seconds passed...

Slight changes occurred in everything around them.

Almost everyone's face was covered in countless pustules and wounds, looking utterly grotesque.

But...

A prompt had already appeared before the three of them.

code
[Source of Evil has been killed.]

[Rating: A]

[Rewards obtained: 200 Exchange Points, 100 Life Energy.]

[Bonus reward: 20 Exchange Points]

[Main quest completed. About to leave this world.]

"The mission's done."

Xuan Ya completely relaxed.

"So the so-called Source of Evil wasn't a person at all, but the virus. I guess we have Ye Xin's ability to thank for that—otherwise, there'd be no way to complete the mission." Shi Wenshan's expression was grim. "All those so-called patients we killed were actually innocent, uninfected people. The real madmen were us."

"Yeah." Ye Xin's feelings were complicated too.

Xuan Ya fell silent.

In the patients' eyes, all normal people were lunatics. The lunatics attacked them without reason, so they were forced to fight back—never knowing that the normal people had done nothing at all.

Meanwhile, in the eyes of those normal people, it was the patients who initiated the attacks.

In an eerie silence, the scene warped.

At that final moment, Shi Wenshan's voice drifted over faintly: "Doesn't it feel like the R-Type Virus is a bit like a zombie virus?"

"Huh?"

Ye Xin was about to speak when she found herself back at home.

"..."

Chapter 10: Another Proliferation

A zombie virus?

"True enough—rotting all over, seeing every normal person as an enemy."

Thinking along those lines, this R-Type Virus was interesting. Because in the infected's eyes, normal people were the zombies.

"I can look into that later if there's a chance. For now, let's check the spoils."

[Exchange Points: 430]

[Life Energy: 395]

"That's a lot."

Ye Qian thought it over briefly, then made her decision.

Spend 170 Life Energy to raise her main body to LV7.

Spend 120 to raise Ye Xin to LV6.

"105 left. I'll use some to make Ye Xin proliferate."

That was right—her main body was ruined, so a new body could only come from a clone.

She raised her hand. Flesh began to slough and writhe, soon coalescing on the ground.

[Proliferating...]

[Body separation complete. Quality: Green]

[Initial LV: 2]

[Ability gene inheritance failed. Original talent not acquired.]

[Superior mutation occurred. Acquired talent ability: Empathy (Green)]

[Intermediate mutation occurred. Acquired talent ability: Sword Intuition (Universal, White)]

A dozen seconds later, a girl appeared before her—golden hair loose, skin fair, but very small. Calling her petite was generous; she was a loli.

Their vision instantly linked.

From Ye Xin's perspective, looking at this girl who was probably only 140 centimeters tall, she couldn't help but freeze.

"Blonde hair?"

This mutation was way too ridiculous, wasn't it?

But her starting level was LV2—was that because she'd used more Life Energy?

Controlling the new clone, she closed her eyes. Knowledge surfaced in her mind.

Empathy. A very peculiar energy.

Its effect was to share senses with a nearby living creature—synchronizing vision, hearing, smell, and touch—and exert a certain influence. If the target was more than three kilometers away, the ability failed.

The ability's effectiveness depended on the target's mental strength; the higher their spirit, the weaker the effect.

"This is an excellent reconnaissance ability."

Sword Intuition was simpler. It meant having a certain talent with blades—even without any training, she'd have combat power equivalent to someone who'd mastered basic swordsmanship.

The ability's name revealed its nature—intuition! No need for stances or forms; just go with the flow.

The best part was that this ability was shared across all bodies. Since all of Ye Qian's bodies were under a single will, things like "knowledge, habits, intuition" were naturally shared too.

Seeing the cute blonde girl standing before her, Ye Xin couldn't resist reaching out to pat her head.

The little blonde's face flushed red.

"Emmm... why am I blushing?"

Ye Xin thought awkwardly, but she still extended her wicked claws and kneaded the new body's cheeks.

"So adorable. I can't help wanting to kiss her."

She never thought she'd have a loli-type body herself.

But after the split, Ye Xin's head did start spinning.

This aftereffect was ridiculous.

Just like the main body—it'd take at least two or three days to recover.

Still, with her physical stats, at least it wasn't too unbearable.

"Perfect timing. Now that the new body's out, I can try using Empathy."

She first checked the body's status.

[Body: Unnamed]

[LV: 2]

[Experience: 0/20]

[Attributes: Strength 1, Physique 0.9, Agility 0.8, Spirit 1.2, Intelligence 1, Resistance 0.5]

[Skills: None]

[Innate Abilities: Empathy (Green), Sword Intuition (White)]

"The base stats are even higher than my original body. Well, I guess that makes sense—it's green after all."

Ye Qian thought about the image of a Westerner and finally settled on a name.

"Alice!"

A common, simple Western name.

The golden hair also matched a certain magical Alice from her past life.

"If I could inherit Ye Xin's Spirit Thread, maybe the name would truly fit."

With that thought, Alice changed into a blue dress and stepped out of the house.

Her gaze swept toward the nearby alleyways, and soon she noticed a yellow stray dog.

"A dog?"

Let's give it a try.

Closing her eyes, she quieted her spirit.

The next instant, Alice's will descended onto the little dog.

"Wow, so this is the world through a dog's eyes?"

It wasn't the full spectrum of colors humans saw; instead, the palette was noticeably duller.
