Shen Qinghan! Gene Fusion!

Seeing that it was almost time, Lin Zichen left the research institute and went to the living area to buy groceries to cook in his dormitory.

I was thinking that once Shen Qinghan got out of school in the morning, she could have dinner as soon as she got back to the dormitory.

It took me some time to buy the groceries.

Lin Zichen quickly returned to his dormitory.

Shortly after, Shen Qinghan also returned from class.

The two of them went to the kitchen together to cook, and after eating, they took a refreshing cold shower together, and then went to their room for a nap. Life was very pleasant.

"Xiao Chen, this morning my master found me and told me he wanted me to undergo Gene Fusion ahead of schedule. He said the Deep Blue Jellyfish is very suitable for me in the early stages."

On the bed, Shen Qinghan nestled in Lin Zichen's arms with her back to him and told him about it.

Deep Blue Jellyfish?

Lin Zichen knew about this Exotic Beast; he had seen descriptions of it in books when he was a child.

It is a Low-Tier Exotic Beast, with an average Biological Rank of Ordinary Rank 7 for adult individuals.

The powerful Jellyfish King can break through the limitations of the Biological Rank level and evolve to Advanced level.

The Deep Blue Jellyfish usually inhabits the deep sea at depths of 10,000 meters and is extremely rare, even rarer than the giant panda in the previous life.

Its distinguishing feature is that its Mental Power far surpasses that of other creatures of the same level.

The ability is that one can manipulate water at will using Mental Power.

Manipulating water is something that any creature with high Mental Power can do.

But the Deep Blue Jellyfish is different. When it is at an ordinary Biological Rank, it can control tens of cubic meters of seawater with just a trace of Mental Power.

In summary, they are better at playing in water than other creatures.

After considering the information about the Deep Blue Jellyfish.

Lin Zichen said to Shen Qinghan in his arms, "That's good. I think the Deep Blue Jellyfish suits you very well. Let's do as your master said."

Shen Qinghan turned to face him, her voice sounding somewhat uneasy, "I also think it's very suitable, but Master immediately said he would fuse the genes of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King with me. Those are the genes of Advanced Being. My physical body is so weak, what if I can't withstand the mutation?"

Is it a fusion of the genes of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King?

Lin Zichen opened his eyes, quite surprised.

If the Deep Blue Jellyfish is Rare, then the Deep Blue Jellyfish King is extremely Rare!

It takes ten thousand Deep Blue Jellyfish to create one Deep Blue Jellyfish King!

Yuan Dongzhi truly lives up to her reputation as the noble daughter of the Yuan Family; her family is indeed wealthy. She casually gives away the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene, showing how generous she is to her disciple.

I wish I had such a generous master...

Lin Zichen felt a pang of envy, then reassured Shen Qinghan, "Don't worry, jellyfish-like Exotic Beast are naturally highly compatible with humans. Plus, your Gene Fusion compatibility is as high as 21%, which is more than enough to fuse with the genes of an Advanced Exotic Beast. You definitely won't mutate."

"Won't there be any side effects?" Shen Qinghan was still uneasy.

Humans always feel uneasy when faced with the unknown or when doing something for the first time; this is a natural biological protection mechanism.

There is also the opposite mechanism: curiosity.

Shen Qinghan was rather timid; her unease completely overwhelmed her curiosity, leaving her feeling extremely anxious.

Lin Zichen smiled and said, "There will definitely be side effects, but they are all well-known ones, such as a high probability of losing fertility and exhibiting some Exotic Beast characteristics in appearance, etc."

"These side effects are no longer considered side effects by today's standards."

Regarding your infertility, you've already had your normal eggs retrieved and stored. If you want to have children in the future, you can simply retrieve and use those eggs.

"As for the fact that it will exhibit some characteristics of Exotic Beast in appearance, this can be hidden, as long as the Exotic Beast genes in the body are put into dormancy."

After finishing his sentence, Lin Zichen added, "Moreover, many of the Exotic Beast features that are visible in appearance can enhance a person's looks, like cat-eared girls and fox-tailed girls, which you've seen before and are very popular."

"That seems to be true."

Shen Qinghan said, her eyes sparkling like peach blossoms.

After hearing what Lin Zichen said, she felt less uneasy.

I even felt a little bit of anticipation.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of Exotic Beast characteristics I'll exhibit next month after merging with the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes, and whether I'll become even more beautiful.

"Furthermore, gene technology is now quite mature. It can not only fuse but also separate. If there are any adverse reactions after fusion, it can be removed later."

Lin Zichen gently massaged Shen Qinghan's hand as he spoke in a tender voice.

To call it a stripping process isn't entirely accurate.

To be precise, it should be called suppression.

There is a special virus that is harmless to humans, but is extremely aggressive against the genes of Exotic Beast.

This viral reagent can be injected to suppress the expression of Exotic Beast genes in the body.

After that, over a long period of years, the Exotic Beast genes within the body are slowly eroded until they are completely eliminated.

Many biological weapons designed to target Exotic Beast are made from this special virus.

"You make it sound so easy, but peeling it off is very painful. I still hope for a perfect fusion."

After saying that, Shen Qinghan sat up in bed, picked up her phone, opened a video, and placed it in front of Lin Zichen, saying, "Xiao Chen, take a look at this video."

Lin Zichen sat up and looked at his phone screen, where he saw an underwater scene.

Judging from the shooting angle, it wasn't taken by a submarine, but by an individual who dived into the sea.

"Oh, it was just a diving video. I thought you were going to show me anime tutorial videos from Sakura Sea Nation."

Lin Zichen teased Shen Qinghan.

Shen Qinghan rolled her eyes at him. "Look at you, you always call me Little Dirty Girl, but you're the dirtiest one. I can show you a video and you can even think of that kind of thing."

"Don't put the cart before the horse, Shen Wuhan. It's because you're usually so filthy that I subconsciously make those connections."

"Ugh, you're so annoying!"

Shen Qinghan reached out and slapped Lin Zichen, saying with an annoyed look, "Stop talking about this, watch the video, the Deep Blue Jellyfish will appear soon."

Lin Zichen stopped teasing her and focused his attention on his phone screen.

A few seconds later, as the camera panned, several strange, deep blue jellyfish appeared on the phone screen.

From a distance, they look like deep blue flames floating on the water, creating a beautiful scene.

These jellyfish were enormous, estimated to be at least three meters long.

It is a fully grown Deep Blue Jellyfish.

The Deep Blue Jellyfish inhabits the deep sea at depths of tens of thousands of meters. The fact that it can grow to such a huge size under such immense water pressure demonstrates just how strong Deep Blue Jellyfish body is.

"Isn't the Deep Blue Jellyfish beautiful?"

Shen Qinghan turned her head to look at Lin Zichen, a few strands of hair falling down her forehead, making her look especially pure and charming.

Lin Zichen reached out and brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead. Looking at her captivating face, he couldn't help but compliment, "She's pretty, but not as pretty as you."

Shen Qinghan felt a surge of joy and smiled, saying, "You have a sweet tongue."

Lin Zichen reached out and put his arm around her Slim Waist Tower, asking with a smile, "Want to try some?"

"Then try a bite."

Shen Qinghan leaned closer and gave Lin Zichen's lips a light peck, then licked her own lips, her clear eyes full of laughter as she said, "Xiao Chen's lips are so sweet."

After saying that, she blinked her big, bright eyes and asked, "By the way, can you guess who filmed this video?"

Lin Zichen: "Your master?"

"You guessed right!"

Shen Qinghan snapped her fingers silently, then looked incredulous and said, "Master didn't bring any equipment; she just dived to a depth of 10,000 meters in the ocean with her bare body. How strong must her body be to do that?"

Lin Zichen: "At least Rare Tier."

Shen Qinghan's face was full of anticipation. "Rare Tier, that's really high. I wonder if I'll be able to evolve to the Rare Tier in the future."

Lin Zichen: "Definitely. Your Gene Fusion compatibility is as high as 21%. Let alone Rare Tier, even Epic level is within reach."

Shen Qinghan scoffed, "It's not that simple. A high degree of Gene Fusion compatibility doesn't necessarily mean someone is powerful. It also depends on various physical constitutions and evolutionary resources."

"Your physique is already incredibly gifted. You're naturally excellent at swimming. If you Gene Fusion in the future, you'll definitely become a powerful figure, even more powerful than your master."

Lin Zichen reached out and poked her soft cheek with his finger, and laughed, "As for evolution resources... you don't need to worry about that either. From now on, I'll be your sugar daddy, and I'll give you whatever resources you need."

Shen Qinghan snorted, "Come on, sugar daddy, huh? You just want to be my daddy. Don't think I don't know what you guys are thinking, all you do is take advantage of me!"

"That's pure slander."

"I don't believe you. You definitely want to hear me call you 'Dad'."

"Okay, okay, I think that's acceptable."

"Hmph, I knew it!"

Shen Qinghan wore a victorious expression.

Lin Zichen turned the air conditioner down by 2 degrees, picked up the blankets and covered himself and Shen Qinghan with them, urging, "Go to sleep, it's almost 1 o'clock. If you don't sleep now, you'll be sleepy in class this afternoon."

"Oh, go to sleep now."

After Shen Qinghan finished speaking, she obediently lay down with Lin Zichen, quietly moving her body a little closer to him so they could sleep side by side.

Then, taking advantage of Lin Zichen's inattention, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Daddy~"

Hiss!

Hearing Shen Qinghan's soft, sweet voice call out like that, Lin Zichen shuddered.

This Little Dirty Girl is so alluring!

It's so tempting, it's practically criminal!

Lin Zichen couldn't take it anymore. He turned to Shen Qinghan and warned her, "Shen Wuhan, if you keep flirting with me like this, you won't be able to sleep right now."

"I'm not flirting anymore, let's go to sleep."

After teasing Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan closed her eyes and went to sleep with a satisfied look on her face.

Lin Zichen didn't sleep; instead, he lay on his side and looked at the news on his phone.

His physical body was much stronger than Shen Qinghan's, so he was less dependent on sleep and didn't need to take a nap.

I browsed through a few news articles.

Soon, Lin Zichen's attention was drawn to a strange news story.

[Recently, mysterious and unknown plants have been discovered in many areas of Shanhai City. These plants are diverse in species and have bizarre shapes. A large number of botanists have rushed to the scene to study them. As it is uncertain whether these plants are harmful, the general public is urged not to approach them out of curiosity to avoid unnecessary injury or death.]

Several photos of plants were attached to the news article.

I glanced at them; they were all vines.

However, none of them are currently known species.

The vines in the photo have a strange shape and particularly developed roots, making them look like Exotic Plant from a fantasy or magical world.

Lin Zichen carefully examined the photos for a moment and felt that the plants looked familiar.

After thinking about it, I realized that it was very similar to the plant in the photo that Shen Qinghan had shown me before.

It's the photo that Yuan Dongzhi sent to Shen Qinghan on WeChat.

Strictly speaking, it's not a photograph, but a portrait drawn entirely by hand.

The drawing above depicts Shen Qinghan's senior sister, a white-haired girl who resembles Bai Xue.

However, the white-haired girl is not the main point; the main point is the background of the portrait, which is full of Exotic Plant that look like alien species.

There is a type of grass with black leaves and stems.

There are trees whose trunks are covered with blood vessels.

There are also strange, alluring flowers with mouths.

The mysterious, unknown plant mentioned in the news, although it looks different from the Exotic Plant in the portrait, is very similar in terms of its bizarre characteristics and degree of strangeness.

They look like plants that grew in the same environment.

The background of Shen Qinghan's portrait is the Origin Land.

So... are these plants in the news from their Origin Land?

How could plants from the Origin Land inexplicably appear on Earth?

Could it be the Divine Plant Cult?

Lin Zichen suddenly thought of this Heretic Cult.

This Heretic Cult was something he had seen on the Mission System before.

The term "divine plant" in the Divine Plant Cult clearly relates to plants.

And all Heretic Cult are inextricably linked to their Origin Land.

The combination of these two factors makes it difficult not to associate these mysterious and unknown plants that have appeared in Shanhai City with the Heretic Cult sect of Divine Plant Cult.

After the Rat God Cult was destroyed, a Divine Plant Cult emerged.

There are so many Human Traitor...

Lin Zichen shook his head, then exited the news and sent messages to his parents and future in-laws.

Tell them that the mysterious, unknown plants that have recently appeared in the city may be related to Heretic Cult, and that they should stay away from them if they see them, and never go near them.

Furthermore, they urged them to move to Shanhai University as soon as possible.

At this moment, Shen Qinghan turned over and faced Lin Zichen, saying:

"Xiao Chen, I can't sleep."

"What's wrong?"

Lin Zichen put down his phone and asked with concern.

Shen Qinghan pursed her lips and said, "I just can't stop thinking about my Gene Fusion, it keeps getting on my mind and I can't sleep at all."

"That's normal. If you can't sleep, then don't try to sleep. Play on your phone for a while."

Lin Zichen offered this useful advice.

Shen Qinghan said in a soft, sweet voice, "Then I want to play with your phone."

Play with my phone?

Lin Zichen was puzzled by such a strange request.

But he quickly realized what he meant and couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly as he said, "You Little Dirty Girl, you want to watch anime-related educational videos again, don't you?"

"Hey, stop asking so many questions, just give me your phone, I want to play with it."

"Take it, take it, you can play with it."

Lin Zichen handed over his phone with a hint of helplessness.

Shen Qinghan took his phone, then handed him her own, saying in return, "I won't let you suffer any losses, so you can play with my phone."

Lin Zichen didn't say anything, but reached out and took the phone she handed him, and silently started browsing the news.

Before I could even finish scrolling through the first news article, I could clearly hear the sound of a learning video coming from next door.

It's the male and female protagonists in the video shouting randomly; it's a bit noisy.

Lin Zichen was speechless. He looked at Shen Qinghan with a blank expression and complained, "Shen Wuhan, when you're watching anime/manga learning videos, I suggest you wear headphones."

"Oh, I forgot to wear it."

Shen Qinghan quickly found her headphones and put them on.

And so, one person silently scrolled through news on their phone, while the other wore headphones and watched anime videos from Sakura Sea Nation to broaden their horizons, and the room became very quiet.

When it was 1:30.

Shen Qinghan watched a learning video and learned a lot of new knowledge from it.

She took off her headphones, handed the phone back to Lin Zichen, and said with a slight smile, "As a way of repaying you for lending me your phone, since we still have half an hour, let me give you a massage."

"Yes, that's good. She's very sensible."

Lin Zichen gave Shen Qinghan a thumbs up, then quickly lay down on the bed, ready to enjoy her increasingly skillful massage techniques.

Shen Qinghan didn't immediately give him a massage. Instead, she got out of bed and found two pairs of stockings, one black and one white.

Then, holding the stockings, she went back to the bed, sat down next to him, and asked, "This time, I won't use my hands. I'll give you a creative massage. I'll put on stockings and use my feet to massage you. Want to try it?"

"That's a good option."

Lin Zichen answered without hesitation.

Shen Qinghan held a white stocking in her left hand and a black stocking in her right, placing them both in front of Lin Zichen and asking, "Black stockings or white stockings, which one do you want me to wear?"

Lin Zichen: "Anything is fine, I like them all."

"Okay then, I'll wear black stockings on one side and white stockings on the other, that way I'll have both."

Shen Qinghan said with great innovative spirit.

One leg is black and the other is white?

Lin Zichen felt this looked really strange.

But I really want to try it.

So he agreed, saying, "Okay, let's make it one side black and one side white."

"Okay, then it's decided."

After saying that, Shen Qinghan began to put on stockings, first putting on white stockings on the left side, and then black stockings on the right side.

After she was dressed, she began to skillfully massage Lin Zichen with her feet, letting him enjoy it.

After massaging for a while, feeling that it was quiet without talking, she started massaging while putting on a dramatic act, saying, "Hmph, Zichen brat, you dare to raise your head when you meet me, the Black and White Impermanence! Watch me steal your soul and make you bow your head!"

Lin Zichen was amused by her.

This Little Dirty Girl is timid and submissive in public, but lively and playful at home—quite a contrast!
