Advancing Genetic Development

Why does this place feel a little familiar?

Traveling in a carriage, one might very well stumble upon a secret realm.

In reality, Zhang Xuezhou also noticed a slight difference between his current location and his imagination.

"Aren't you happy? Aren't you surprised? I've taken you back to Western Capital so you won't have to endure a long and tiring journey!"

There was a surveillance camera installed above Zhang Xuezhou. As soon as it detected that Zhang Xuezhou had opened his eyes, the microphone connected to the camera came out with Turkalando's voice.

"Back to Western Capital?"

Zhang Xuezhou shook his head, and a series of fragmented thoughts quickly surfaced in his mind.

This includes his search for the Spirit Jade in the Tuer District, his acceptance of X432 medical resources, the centipede that was not identified as a ferocious beast, and Ren Anran and Ren Yisheng.

The events kept replaying in his mind, and Zhang Xuezhou looked at the familiar room again.

"Kalando, you're back way too fast!"

If it weren't for his experience in another world, Zhang Xuezhou would have thought that when he closed his eyes he was in the Thousand Islands Alliance, and when he opened them he had crossed the sea and returned to the Scarlet Alliance State.

This feeling is somewhat similar to when he was transferred from Sudong City to Western Capital by Zhang Weimeng back then.

Zhang Xuezhou stared wide-eyed, and couldn't help but mutter a resentful complaint.

He originally planned to stay in the Tours region for about three months before returning home, but Turkalando accelerated the process much faster.

He had previously sent Professor Wang Haoran an international email with his research paper, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the email had not yet been sent back to China.

He hadn't even used the treasure-hunting techniques he learned from Dong Zhongshu.

"Not fast at all," Tulcarando said. "Would you like to come over for some chicken soup?"

Chicken soup? You went to my sister's place?

Zhang Xuezhou exchanged a few words with Turkalando, and Zhang Manqian's voice came through the microphone.

"The first batch of chicks is old enough now. If they grow any older, the meat will be a bit tough to chew. You can come and stay at the research institute here to study the Wushao chicken research project," Zhang Manqian said.

"Director Zhang, we have 536 Wushao chickens in our breeding program, including 113 adults, 355 chicks, 68 hatched chicks, and 1,344 chicks currently in the incubation stage. This has created a very healthy positive growth cycle, and we can sustain ourselves even if we sell them!"

Xu Shengzhi's voice also came through the microphone, which made Zhang Xuezhou understand why Zhang Manqian's talk about eating chicken was so suggestive.

This timeframe is about a month earlier than Xu Shengzhi's previous estimate.

If it was intended as a mere formality, Xu Shengzhi's training plan was already quite satisfactory.

Having transitioned from a professional researcher to the aquaculture industry, Xu Shengzhi must have studied extensively and applied his knowledge in practice to achieve success.

It must be said that these highly intelligent researchers are exceptionally talented even when they switch fields.

If it were used for professional research, Xu Shengzhi would obviously be qualified as well, and there is a high probability that he would be able to lead a research team in pioneering work.

Zhang Xuezhou's research, which relies on his past achievements, is Ren Yisheng's psychology project, while the project that aligns with his interests is the gene therapy project.

The former has enough on its own, while the latter needs sufficient human resources.

Zhang Xuezhou was quite satisfied with Xu Shengzhi and immediately promised the team bonus via microphone.

He pulled the injection needle out of his arm, wiped his face haphazardly, and after stretching out, Zhang Xuezhou ate some liquid food before getting into the car parked by the door.

While the Black-feathered Chicken feeding plan wasn't Zhang Xuezhou's top priority in his fight against the extraterrestrial demons, increasing the concentration of bird genes in his body by consuming Black-feathered Chickens would aid in the development of Gene Fighting Technique and benefit Zhang Xuezhou's development within the Scarlet Alliance State.

More importantly, Zhang Xuezhou had no resistance to this food temptation.

As an ingredient he had been longing for, and having been hungry for twelve days, Zhang Xuezhou felt as if a row of roasted black-boned chickens, dripping with oil, were constantly spinning in front of him, making it difficult for him to concentrate on anything else.

"Nothing in the world can control what's most important!"

Zhang Xuezhou muttered to himself as the car sped up to the maximum speed limit.

If nothing unusual happens, he felt he would spend the next twelve days at the research institute in good spirits.

The shift from guinea fowl to black-spotted chickens indicates a renewed increase in feed demand.

Zhang Xuezhou wasn't sure what to eat after his body was sufficiently saturated from eating the black-boned chicken, but this was the 'food-based blood tonic' that was suitable for him at that moment.

He could even feel the boiling of every drop of blood in his body.

"The Demon Power the mallard duck!"

He hummed the reason for his body's intense excitement through his nostrils.

If genetic modification is just another form of grafting Demon Power, he currently possesses Demonization soul, but his physical body hasn't kept up with the changes, leaving him with an extremely high need for further evolution.

He ate the meat of demonic birds in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains for a month. In reality, these domesticated animals are far inferior to demonic birds, so the only way to make up for it is by increasing the quantity.

However, this kind of compensation differs somewhat from the Demon Power born from another world.

The ' Demon Power ' born from this body did not evolve into wings; instead, it was transformed into the power propelled by Gene Fighting Technique.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at his arm, which remained perfectly smooth to this day, showing no sign of even a single feather growing.

This is completely different from when he consumed the flesh and blood of the demonic bird.

"And I'm eating cooked food now!"

Having moved away from raw, unprocessed food, the side effects of thoroughly cooked meat have clearly decreased, so it's no wonder Zhang Xuezhou doesn't have any body hair.

Moreover, his current ability to fly doesn't require feathers.

The car sped out of Western Capital and continued into the North Rehe region.

Zhang Xuezhou arrived at the research institute not too late.

After waiting for him for an hour, the institute staff officially began their lunch.

There were takeout side dishes for regular dine-in, as well as Zhang Manqian showcasing her culinary skills by making seven different flavors of black-boned chicken.

Having cooked for over a thousand guinea fowl for Zhang Xuezhou, Zhang Manqian has extensive experience in preparing chicken dishes.

"The fruits of our labor have been plentiful!"

Everyone, eat more!

"We must strive for excellence and innovation in the future, and try to generate more experimental specimens!"

But apart from Zhang Xuezhou happily munching away, few others were able to join in the eating.

Zhang Manqian's black-boned chicken wasn't bad, but the chicken meat was indeed very elastic, making it quite chewy.

Just like chewing gum, chewing one or two pieces is fine, but chewing continuously can easily become tasteless, and chewing too much can even make you feel nauseous.

The joy of celebrating the harvest quickly shifted to the side dishes served in the restaurant. No matter how enthusiastically Zhang Xuezhou urged them to eat, very few people followed suit.

"Director Zhang is genuinely delighted with this research project!"

Xu Shengzhi reluctantly followed for a while, but eventually his teeth couldn't take it anymore, and he couldn't swallow the uncooked chicken, so he could only force a smile at the table.

It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou distributed the team bonuses that everyone happily dispersed.
