Chapter 171: 138, Shen Qinghan! Genetic Fusion!

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

Thinking that Shen Qinghan would be able to eat as soon as she finished her morning classes and came back to the dorm.

It took some time to finish buying the groceries.

Lin Zichen quickly returned to the dormitory.

Soon after, Shen Qinghan finished her classes and returned as well.

The two of them cooked together in the kitchen, took a refreshing cold shower after they ate, and then went to the room to nap, leading a very comfortable life.

“Zi Chen, this morning Master found me and said she wants to advance my Genetic Fusion, with the Blue Spirit Jellyfish gene, claiming it’s very suitable for me in the early stages.”

In bed, Shen Qinghan, with her back to Lin Zichen ensconced in his embrace, brought up the matter.

Blue Spirit Jellyfish?

Lin Zichen knew about this Exotic Beast, having read about it in books when he was a child.

It is a low-ranking Exotic Beast with the Biological Level of an adult individual averaging a common seventh rank.

A powerful Jellyfish King’s Biological Level can break through the common rank’s restraints and evolve to an advanced level.

The Blue Spirit Jellyfish mainly resides in the deep sea at depths of ten thousand meters, extremely rare in number, rarer than the pandas in his previous life.

Its characteristic feature is that its spiritual power far surpasses that of other creatures of the same rank.

And its ability is the manipulation of water at will using spiritual power.

Controlling water is something that creatures with high spiritual power can do.

But the Blue Spirit Jellyfish is different; even with the biological ranking in the common range and only a sliver of spiritual power, it can control tens of cubic meters of sea water.

To sum up, it’s better at playing with water than other creatures.

After thinking through the information on the Blue Spirit Jellyfish,

Lin Zichen said to Shen Qinghan in his arms, “That’s good, I think the Blue Spirit Jellyfish suits you very well. Just do what your master suggested.”

Shen Qinghan turned around, facing him, and said with a somewhat uneasy voice, “I also think it’s very suitable, but Master directly mentioned using the Azure Jellyfish King’s gene for the fusion. That’s an Advanced-level Creature gene. What if my frail body can’t handle it and I suffer gene rejection?”

Fusion with the Azure Jellyfish King’s gene?

Lin Zichen opened his eyes wide, quite surprised by this.

If the Blue Spirit Jellyfish is rare, then the Azure Jellyfish King is extremely, extremely rare!

Ten thousand Blue Spirit Jellyfish might give rise to one Azure Jellyfish King!

Yuan Dongzhi truly is the precious daughter of the Yuan Family, rich and generous, giving away Azure Jellyfish King genes as if it were nothing, truly devoted to her disciple.

I also wish I had such a magnanimous and generous master…

Lin Zichen inwardly felt envious, then comforted Shen Qinghan, “Don’t worry, jellyfish-type Exotic Beasts naturally have high compatibility with human bodies. Plus, your genetic fusion adaptability is as high as 21%, fusing with an advanced Exotic Beast Gene should be a piece of cake for you. There won’t be any rejection.”

“What about side effects?” Shen Qinghan still felt uneasy.

When facing the unknown, or doing something for the first time, humans always feel anxious, which is a natural biological protection mechanism.

There is also an opposite mechanism, curiosity.

Shen Qinghan tends to be timid, and her anxiety has completely overshadowed her curiosity, making her very nervous.

Lin Zichen laughed, “Side effects are bound to occur, but they are all well-known, such as a high chance of losing reproductive abilities, showing some physical Exotic Beast traits and so on.”

“These side effects aren’t considered disadvantages anymore.”

“Regarding the loss of reproductive ability, you’ve already harvested and stored normal eggs beforehand, so if you want to have children in the future, you can just use those eggs.”

“As for showing Exotic Beast traits in your appearance, that can be concealed. Just put the Exotic Beast Gene in your body into dormancy.”

After saying this, Lin Zichen added, “Plus, many Exotic Beast traits that manifest outwardly can actually enhance one’s appearance, like cat-eared girls, fox-tailed girls; you’ve seen them, very popular.”

“That seems true.”

Shen Qinghan spoke with her sparkling peachy eyes glinting.

After hearing Lin Zichen’s explanation, she was no longer so anxious.

In fact, she was even feeling a bit excited.

Excited about how she would look after fusing with the Azure Jellyfish King gene next month, whether she would exhibit any Exotic Beast traits that would make her prettier.

“Moreover, genetic technology has matured a lot by now, allowing not just fusion but also separation. If there are any adverse reactions after the fusion, just separate it later.”

Lin Zichen said this while tenderly rubbing Shen Qinghan’s hand.

Speaking of separation, it’s not entirely accurate,

It should be called suppression.

There is a special virus, harmless to the human body, but highly aggressive against Exotic Beast genes.

One can inject this viral reagent to suppress the expression of the Exotic Beast gene within the body.

Then, after a lengthy process spanning years, it steadily erodes the Exotic Beast gene within the body until it is completely cleared.

Many biochemical weapons targeting Exotic Beasts are made from this special virus.

“You make it sound so easy, but separation is painful. I hope the fusion is perfect.”

With that, Shen Qinghan got up from the bed, grabbed her phone, opened a video, and presented it to Lin Zichen, saying, “Zi Chen, take a look at this video.”

Lin Zichen sat up to look at the phone screen. What appeared before him was an underwater scene.

From the filming angle, it was not taken by a submarine but by a person diving into the sea.

“It turns out to be a diving video. Here I was thinking you were going to show me one of Sakura Sea Country’s anime study videos.”
