Chapter Summaries

After Lin Chen was attacked by East Sakura ninjas, Little Bei identified the Aso Family as the force behind the plot and uncovered their Genetic Medicine operation. Lin Chen had Little Bei empty the family members’ personal bank accounts, and one Aso member discovered his money was gone.

• Lin Chen asked Little Bei to identify the attackers, and it named Kagagawa and Fujita Maki and sent Liang Jingtian information about where Fujita might be hiding.
• Liang Jingtian and the police searched the marked area, dug up a dead ninja, and determined that Genetic Medicine had caused his collapse.
• Little Bei traced the attack to the Aso Family and told Lin Chen that Aso Taiko had supplied test subjects for Professor Miyazaki’s research.

• An Aso Family member found that his Japanese yen and Swiss bank deposits had vanished and left the bank in shock.

After the Aso Family discovered that the money on their bank cards had vanished, they blamed Lin Chen and debated how to respond. Lin Chen then called Aso Taiko and warned that Black Emperor would kill Aso Taiko and at least nine others if he was still alive the next morning.

• Aso Saburo told Aso Taiko that the money on his bank cards had disappeared, and Aso Taiko found his own card balances were also zero.
• Aso Taiko learned that the Aso Family's card funds were gone while their corporate accounts remained intact, and he and Aso Jin suspected Lin Chen was responsible.
• Aso Jin ordered the family to check with the banks and warned them not to provoke Lin Chen, while the senior members speculated that Lin Chen might have used Artificial Intelligence.
• Aso Jin proposed asking the Chinese authorities to pressure Lin Chen, but Aso Taiko said they lacked evidence and warned that resisting could bring further losses or deaths.

After Yang Jianghong borrowed two for a police operation, they killed six armed criminals without casualties among the team, and he refused the police Captain’s request to keep them.

• The New Model Mechanical Leopard reached twenty meters per second, navigated obstacles, attacked with its claws, tail, and hidden gun, and resisted rifle and light sniper fire.
• Zhang Yang told Yang Jianghong that modifying the production line would take more than half a month and that the new models should have half again the endurance of the old models.
• After learning that criminals had killed and injured police officers and might have hostages or bombs, Yang Jianghong called Lin Chen and borrowed two Mechanical Leopards for the operation.
• At midnight, the two Mechanical Leopards entered through the front and rear corridors, evaded mines and a grenade, and killed all six criminals without finding hostages.
• The police Captain asked Yang Jianghong to lend the Mechanical Leopards to the police, but Yang Jianghong refused because Super Alloy remained classified.

Lin Chen brought his family to their newly completed villa and showed them its defenses, smart systems, and underground facilities. The family explored the fortified home, which Lin Chen said would help keep them safe when he was away.

• Lin Xiaoqian told Zhang Yang she wanted to attend kindergarten, and Lin Chen said he would send her in September.
• Xu Xiangyang asked whether Housework Robots could be converted into military units, and Lin Chen explained their programming and connectivity limits.
• Xu Xiangyang said the higher-ups planned to sell a limited number of Housework Robots first and expand sales over time as a reserve force.
• Professor Fukuyama’s team injected another dose of Genetic Potion Zero into a test subject, who died after convulsing.
• The test subject opened his eyes and bit the middle-aged laboratory worker in the neck.

Domoto Yu escaped his restraints after transforming into a blood-drinking test subject, but Professor Fukuyama’s security lockdown and anesthetic gas eventually subdued him. Tests on Domoto Yu and the bitten guards revealed that they retained their memories but suffered an intense need for blood, leaving Professor Fukuyama investigating the transformation’s effects.

• Domoto Yu drank a middle-aged man's blood, attacked the guards, and fled through the experiment base as security personnel opened fire.
• Professor Fukuyama ordered anesthetic gas released despite the security manager's warning, and Domoto Yu collapsed after biting several guards.
• Professor Fukuyama moved Domoto Yu to Laboratory One, restrained him, drew blood, and confirmed that his genes had fused and his memories remained intact.
• Two bitten security personnel developed an urgent need for blood; one temporarily recovered after a sedative, while the other recovered after drinking blood.
• Professor Fukuyama withheld blood from Terajima Ii for two hours to observe his condition, then gave him blood when he began bleeding and turning red.
• Terajima Ii said the blood made the burning sensation in his body disappear and angrily confronted Professor Fukuyama for making him suffer.

Professor Fukuyama tested the effects of infection and Genetic Potion Zero, while Lin Chen met Arman and Count Barlow, who offered a Vite Family settlement worth ten billion US dollars. Lin Chen accepted the amount as a deduction from the port purchase and received a list of antique gifts.

• Professor Fukuyama found that bitten security personnel gained strength and speed but needed daily blood and died if they went without it.

• Lin Chen accepted the settlement as a ten-billion-dollar deduction from the port purchase agreement and told Count Barlow to continue his treatment.
• Arman presented Lin Chen with a list of antique gifts.

Lin Chen told Arman and Count Barlow that China’s drones and Mechanical Leopards made it a formidable power, and warned Europe not to provoke Huaxia. After receiving a valuable antique gift, he learned the Cultural Relic Appraisal Skill and planned to improve it to help recover cultural relics held abroad.

• Arman asked Lin Chen which country would win a major war between China and the United States, and Lin Chen cited Star Dream Technology’s drones and Yanhuang Robotics Company’s Mechanical Leopards.
• Lin Chen said one New Model Mechanical Leopard could defeat an Elite Team of ten, then asked Count Barlow to warn people in Europe that those who offended Huaxia would be executed.
• Count Barlow and Arman agreed Europe should stay out of a conflict between China and the United States, and Count Barlow remarked on how much China had changed.
• Lin Chen asked Little Bei to value the antiques Arman’s group had gifted him, and Little Bei estimated their total worth at around five hundred million US dollars.
• Liu Feng delivered the antiques to the Parking Lot, where Lin Chen showed them to Xu Mengyao and Lin Xiaoqian and explained cultural relics to his daughter.
• Lin Chen gained the Cultural Relic Appraisal Skill and considered improving it to help bring Chinese cultural relics back from museums abroad.

Xu Mengyao gave birth safely to a healthy boy, whom the family called Dong Dong. Lin Chen discovered that Dong Dong had exceptional martial talent and learned how the system’s missed upgrades would apply to him.

• Lin Chen carried Xu Mengyao to the villa’s medical room and used silver needles to ease her labor while six doctors prepared for the delivery.

• Lin Chen asked Old Man Li and the others to let Tongtong and the other children stay and play with Lin Xiaoqian for a few days, and they agreed.
• Old Man Li told Lin Chen that intelligence agents had discovered major moves by East Sakura Country.

Lin Chen warned Old Man Li and the others that East Sakura Country’s genetic research could lead to dangerous Genetic Soldiers, Genetic Pollution, or a Biohazard, and advised a Travel Ban and a possible Evacuation of Citizens if the situation worsened. After the others left their children with him, Lin Chen ordered Zhang Yang to send the warehouse’s Mechanical Leopards to his home.

• Old Man Li told Lin Chen that people had gone missing across East Sakura Country and were being captured for secret research.
• Lin Chen described the possible dangers of Genetic Soldiers, Genetic Pollution, and a Biohazard, and explained that the risk of an outbreak would rise over time.

• Old Man Li and the others left their eight children with Lin Chen after lunch.
• Lin Chen asked Zhang Yang to send the slightly more than two hundred Mechanical Leopards in the warehouse to his home.

Lin Chen deployed Mechanical Leopards and Mechanical Tigers for home and neighborhood defense, while letting the children ride them through a nearby park. In the United States, the President learned that the machines’ alloy and Control System made them difficult to reproduce.

• Lin Chen received two hundred Mechanical Leopards, hid some around his villa, and let the children and Xu Mengyao ride them.
• After Xu Mengyao remarked that Mechanical Tigers would suit adults better, Lin Chen arranged for the company to develop them.
• A few days later, Lin Chen received four Mechanical Tigers and sixty more Mechanical Leopards, then led his family and the children on a ride through the park.
• Videos of the machines spread online as Lin Chen said they would patrol nearby and would not harm people.
• The United States President asked Robert about the machines, and Robert explained that X Alloy was difficult to obtain and that the United States still could not develop Lin Chen’s Control System.
