Background / History

Cheng Mo attended Jincheng Ninth High School alongside Xu Tui and Tang Ting. He scored 603 points on the college entrance examination and shared a joking, close-knit friendship with them during their Gene Aptitude Test preparation. 1 3

During the Gene Aptitude Test, Cheng Mo activated 11 Gene Points—the highest total in his class—but seven were concentrated in his stomach and digestive system. The result gave him an overwhelming appetite and caused rapid weight gain, leaving him frightened that he would become a “food monster” rather than a capable Gene Warrior. 5 6 9

Hoping advanced gene research could turn his digestive Gene Points into a useful direction, Cheng Mo applied to Huaxia Gene Evolution University for all three of his choices. He and Xu Tui agreed to look after one another if admitted. 9

His appetite soon became publicly conspicuous: he was turned away from all-you-can-eat restaurants after consuming food at an extraordinary rate. At a hotel buffet, he cleared one large plate every three minutes. 15 16

Cheng Mo traveled with Xu Tui’s cohort to Kyoto and enrolled at Huaxia Gene Evolution University. His four lumbar-strength Gene Points led to his placement in the Limitless Academy’s Strength Department, which maintains a specialized area for students with unusual or niche Gene Point configurations. 30 37

Appearance

Cheng Mo is a tall, 1.8-meter young man with a slightly tanned, handsome appearance. His digestive Gene Points cause rapid visible weight gain; within days of the aptitude test, his face had become noticeably rounder and his build fuller. 5 15 16 48

• Initially described as tall and handsome. 5 9
• Gains weight quickly due to persistent hunger and high food intake. 9 16
• Is nicknamed “Cheng Blackie” and “Heizi.” 5 9

Personality

Cheng Mo is humorous, loud, and prone to teasing Xu Tui and Tang Ting, even during stressful situations. He uses jokes to cope with embarrassment over his digestive Gene Points, but his humor often masks genuine fear about his appetite, finances, appearance, and future relationships. 3 5 9 31

He is deeply loyal to his friends. Cheng Mo stands with Xu Tui and Tang Ting against He Mingxuan and Sun Chi’s insults, worries about Tang Ting’s future after his decision to join the military, and later warns Xu Tui about school rules and potential trouble from the Limitless System. 6 16 48

In danger, Cheng Mo acts selflessly despite being afraid. During the convoy ambush, he repeatedly offers to shield the others and faces Cyborg Ahu with two tactical shields so Xu Tui and the others can escape. 24 25

Gene Aptitude

Abilities & Skills

Digestive Gene Points

Cheng Mo’s primary aptitude is centered on his stomach and digestive system. Its immense energy demand is both his defining strength and his greatest immediate burden.

• Eats at an abnormal rate and remains hungry even after multiple meals. 9 16 31
• Gains weight rapidly when he cannot convert his intake into training or strength. 9 30 48
• Believes prolonged fasting may cause his highly potent digestive fluids to harm his own stomach. 31
• Tries Xu Tui’s “Engine Theory 2.0,” which proposes directing energy from digestion toward physical strengthening through focused consciousness. 31

Defensive Resolve

Cheng Mo has no documented named combat ability, but he displays courage and an instinct to protect others in battle.

• Uses tactical shields during the convoy ambush. 24 25
• Volunteers to draw a giant lynx away so Xu Tui, Gong Ling, and another student can reach An Xiaoxue. 24
• Stands in front of Cyborg Ahu with two shields raised, buying time for Xu Tui’s attack. 25
• Survives being thrown more than ten meters by Ahu’s tail, though he suffers three broken ribs, a fractured left radius, and chest and abdominal contusions. 25 26

Relationships

• Xu Tui — Close friend and former high-school classmate. They apply to the same university, travel together, share a room upon arrival, and routinely support one another through financial, personal, and safety concerns. 1 9 31 48
• Tang Ting — Close friend and part of Cheng Mo and Xu Tui’s high-school trio. They tease each other constantly but support Tang Ting’s choice to enter the military. 3 6 16
• Yu Zeping — Homeroom teacher who worries about Cheng Mo’s aptitude outcome, promises to help research a suitable enhancement direction, and sees him off for university. 5 18
• Gong Ling — Fellow student and ambush survivor. Cheng Mo fights beside her and Xu Tui against the controlled beasts and Cyborg Ahu. 24 25
• He Mingxuan and Tong Qi — Fellow students who ridicule Cheng Mo’s stomach Gene Points and his ambition to bring back the university’s campus belle. 18 19

Story Role / Major Arcs

Gene Aptitude Test

Cheng Mo’s 11 activated Gene Points initially appear promising, but the stomach-focused distribution devastates him. His extreme hunger begins immediately after the test, establishing the central problem of his gene aptitude. 5 6

University Application and Appetite Crisis

Cheng Mo chooses Huaxia Gene Evolution University because he believes its research may solve—or make use of—his “Great Stomach God King” Gene Points. His escalating appetite leads to restaurant incidents, mounting food costs, and anxiety that his weight will ruin his dreams of dating and flying a repulsion skateboard. 9 15 30 31

Convoy Ambush

While traveling to Kyoto, Cheng Mo helps defend the students during the Dawn Redemption Organization’s ambush. He volunteers to protect others, blocks Cyborg Ahu’s charge with tactical shields, and is severely injured before An Xiaoxue kills Ahu. 24 25 26

Enrollment at Huaxia Gene Evolution University

After arriving at the university, Cheng Mo learns that his food expenses may exceed his family’s monthly support. Xu Tui offers the experimental Engine Theory 2.0 as a possible way to turn the digestive energy demand into productive training, while Cheng Mo is assigned to the Strength Department of the Limitless Academy. 31 37
