Chapter 207.1
Bai Lixin: [Didn’t you say that only by transplanting organs from ability users, drinking nutrient solution, or engaging in actual combat can abilities be significantly enhanced?]
Standing at the end of the queue, the players in front of Bai Lixin entered one after another into a capsule-shaped transparent glass enclosure.
There were many black rubber circuits inserted into the outer edge of the capsule, some connected to a huge computer, some to a display, and one connected to a metal egg that contained the transparent crystal nucleus.
The players went In one by one, and the red lights in the instrument under the metal egg lit up again and again.
The voice of the escape system sounded in Bai Lixin’s mind, [Master Bai Lixin, this method is not recorded in the original documentation.]
It replied nonchalantly, [Anyway, it’s you we are talking about. If anything unexpected happens, you’re used to it, and I believe you won’t feel the slightest tremor because of a bug or system error!]
The escape system was no longer the same as before. After experiencing multiple challenges to its career, it had become the Niu Hulu-Escape System! It wasn’t bothered by any bugs or system errors anymore.
Bai Lixin: […]
*Niu Hulu was a powerful clan during the Qing dynasty in China. It provided many important military and political figures, including several empresses and imperial concubines. So “Niu Hulu” represents strength, perseverance, and resilience.
The players moved quickly. The pure white eyes that appeared in his dream last night had now turned into normal black ones.
The tall and straight Dr. Sang was wearing a mask and standing next to the metal egg, with his arms lazily crossed. His gaze casually fell on the transparent crystal nucleus, and the overhead light illuminated his head, highlighting his hair.
His calm gaze and silent eyes made him seem like a soulless shell, impervious to any external stimuli.
He didn’t even bother to look up at the red light as it repeatedly turned on, not even bothering to lift his eyelids to take a glance.
The players moved quickly, and they couldn’t quite tell if they were more regretful about missing out on the chance to become a god by in one step, or grateful for not being injected with terrifying memories.
The long line of players arrived at Bai Lixin in no time, and he was the last one to enter.
Over a hundred pairs of eyes all turned to Bai Lixin.
Xia Chi gazed at Bai Lixin intently and tugged at his sleeve. “Brother, you’re the hope of the village. Come on!”
Bai Lixin: “…”
Why didn’t you say that to yourself just now?
Even Dr. Sang, who had been keeping his head down, glanced at Bai Lixin with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.
Bai Lixin, carrying the “hope” of the village, slowly entered the semi-transparent capsule.
As soon as he stood still in the capsule as instructed, he heard a voice from the speaker: “Hello, please imagine that your ability has a maximum energy of 10. Please start from speed 1 and slowly start releasing the ability.”
Bai Lixin followed the guidance of the speaker and began to release his spiritual powers.
As his abilities were released, he noticed that the air around him changed. The originally somewhat cold interior of the capsule gradually became warm and even hot. When the intensity of his ability went from 1 to 5, he suddenly felt as if his ability had encountered some kind of obstruction. In the next second, his ability was momentarily delayed, and then it was as if something had grabbed hold of it.
Bai Lixin suddenly felt a slight difficulty in breathing.
From this angle, the symbol on the metal egg on the other side of the instrument cannot be seen, but the player’s expression can be seen.
Based on the player’s surprised, delighted, and envious expressions, he could guess the final result.
Sure enough, the capsule was opened soon after, and the feeling of suffocation disappeared in an instant.
Xia Chi rushed up first, “Brother, I knew you’d make it.”
Dr. Sang, who hadn’t spoken, took the crystal nucleus out of the metal egg and played with it in his latex-gloved hand.
Something that was precious and worth showing off to others was like a useless pebble in his eyes.
“I want him,” Dr. Sang looked at Sally, “take the others away.”
Sally, who was always strict and cold, loosened his expression for a moment, but in the end, he restrained himself and obediently led everyone out of the laboratory.
Xia Chi was walking at the back of the group.
As people walked out one after another, Dr. Sang suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xia Chi.
A faint white light flashed in his eyes, and he spoke up to stop Xia Chi, “The one at the back, wait for a moment.”
Xia Chi was looking down at the ground and was suddenly startled by the call. He instinctively exclaimed, “Did you call me, brother in law?”
Dr. Sang: “…”
Brother in law?
He looked thoughtfully towards Bai Lixin, who was standing not far away, his eyes somewhat obscure.
Did he like him that much that he even declared it to those around him after meeting once?
Dr. Sang looked Xia Chi up and down, his gaze lingering on his head for a moment before saying indifferently, “That’s all, you may leave.”
“Also, call me ‘Dr. Sang’ the next time we meet. I am not anyone’s ‘brother-in-law’ or ‘husband.’”
Xia Chi was a bit confused, but he didn’t dare to provoke the man in front of him, so he obediently left.
In the spacious laboratory, only Bai Lixin and Dr. Sang remained.
Dr. Sang slowly walked to Bai Lixin, playing with the crystal nucleus in his hand. His tall figure blocked the light above Bai Lixin’s head, enveloping his slender body in a broad shadow.
Dr. Sang looked down at the little mouse who had been keeping his head down, and asked coldly, “Do you really like me? Do you like me enough to tell someone that you want me to be your man after only meeting me once?”
The young man didn’t answer, but lowered his head even further.
Dr. Sang didn’t understand love, nor did he ever care for it. Since there was no answer, he took Bai Lixin’s silence as an agreement.
But what did it matter if someone liked him?
“It’s your business if you like me,” Dr. Sang warned in a cold voice, “but you need to be clear about your position. If you want to hide it, I don’t care, but don’t have any unrealistic fantasies. If I hear from someone else that we’re involved, even if you’re the most suitable match for me, I will punish you mercilessly.”
“Do you understand?”
The young man in front of him had already lowered his head, nodding almost imperceptibly.
Dr. Sang continued, “Since you understand, come with me. Your crystal nucleus is only of blue quality, and accepting this crystal nucleus will be a heavy burden for you. The surgery is very risky, and before the operation, you need to undergo continuous training and improvement.”
He glanced at the restrained young man in front of him and saw his shoulders tremble slightly.
“I won’t retaliate against you during the surgery,” the man coughed lightly and patiently explained, “We are not on the same level. In my eyes, your position is like that of an ant in the eyes of a human.”
“I am only interested in the experiment itself. I will conduct a final ability test on you before the surgery. Only if the test results are satisfactory will you be able to undergo the surgery.”
“During the preoperative preparation, we need to assess your ability to endure. It could take as short as a week or as long as a few years. There are also some recipients who are unable to pass the test, and I will terminate the transplantation surgery for such cases. I have no interest in doing imperfect surgery.”
Dr. Sang frowned in a place where the young man couldn’t see him.
Normally, he wouldn’t say so much to a human. He always found it troublesome.
But for some reason, he spoke more when he saw the timid look on the young man’s face today.
Perhaps it was because this young man’s spiritual wave lengths were somewhat similar to his own, and his persistence towards him had somehow touched him.
Finally, after giving the young man a glance, Dr. Sang commanded in a tone that brooked no argument, “Follow me. There’s an elevator ahead.”
In the elevator, the young man still lowered his eyes slightly, and Dr. Sang found his eyes fixed on the tip of his shoes. The young man didn’t even have the courage to look at him.
As they stood shoulder to shoulder in the slowly descending elevator, Dr. Sang could easily capture the young man’s profile with a sidelong glance.
The young man’s neck was very much like the swans in documentaries, slender and elegant, with a unique sense of fragility.
His skin was very delicate and tender. Dr. Sang had always had good eyesight, but he couldn’t even find a single rough pore.
What would it feel like to poke this white and tender skin?
By the time Dr. Sang realized what he was doing, his index finger had already poked the young man’s cheek.
The young man raised his head in panic, with a shy and timid gaze that resembled a young deer. “Dr. Sang.”
Dr. Sang calmly withdrew his hand. “I was just testing your skin age and determining the amount of training to assign you.”
Pausing for a moment, he surreptitiously hid his finger behind his back, and asked without changing his expression, “What? Do you think I wanted to touch your face?”
The young man immediately shook his head. “Of course not. You are the greatest scientist. How could you, like those childish ability users, covet my face? You only have research and science in your eyes, and I understand that.”
Dr. Sang felt a twinge of discomfort. “Covet your face? Are there many ability users who covet you?”
The young man’s eyes became flustered, and he shook his head timidly. He lowered his head once again, and said in a restrained voice, “No, no, I was just talking nonsense.”
Dr. Sang: “…”
This is obviously a lie. What was said just now must have been true.
Such a beautiful face was placed on a fragile person, like a glass doll. It was basically a disaster for a weak person like him.
“There’s nothing to be afraid of,” Dr. Sang said, “if someone tries to harm you, just tell them you’re my patient. No one on this ark dares to touch my people. After the surgery, when you inherit the power of the crystal nucleus, no one will dare to bully you.”
The young man looked up at Dr. Sang with awe and hesitantly said, “But, but you just said it’s not appropriate to associate myself with you outside, is this okay? Didn’t you say you would punish me?”
Dr. Sang almost suffocated.
Taking a deep breath, he coughed and said, “I meant don’t bring up strange relationships. There was no other meaning to what I said. I’m looking forward to this surgery, and you are the only suitable candidate on the ark. I won’t allow anyone to ruin my operation, do you understand?”
The young man obediently nodded, “I understand, so if someone bullies me, I’ll say I’m your person.”
Dr. Sang: “…”
Not “your person,” but “your patient.”
Sigh, forget it. No one will believe it anyway, just let it be.
Thinking of something, Dr. Sang’s expression changed slightly. He looked at the young man and said, “Bai Lixin, yesterday was the first and last time. Don’t let me catch you using your powers to explore my laboratory.”
The young man’s expression froze, and he apologized devoutly, “Dr. Sang, I’m sorry. I felt like my ability suddenly improved in quality yesterday and I wanted to try the new power of my ability.”
“As a result, I happened to see those two staff members who helped me exchange for the nutrient solution hiding the crystal nuclei, and I couldn’t help but follow them. That’s how I accidentally saw this laboratory.”
“But I want to thank them,” the young man’s cheeks suddenly turned red, “if it weren’t for my curiosity, I wouldn’t have seen your elegant surgical process.”
“To be honest, I even dreamed of you last night.”
Dr. Sang: “What did I dream about?”
The young man: “I dreamed that you were sitting on the mountain of zombie corpses like a god. Your body was covered with blood, but it still couldn’t cover up your stalwart back and noble soul.”
Dr. Sang’s heart moved slightly: “What else did you dream about?”
It turned out that this little mouse took yesterday’s spiritual connection as a dream.
The young man frowned and shook his head: “There is nothing else. I woke up.”
“Dr. Sang, please forgive me. I just described your nobility and my love for you to my brother last night. Maybe he I misunderstood it, so he suddenly called you that name. Even I was shocked at the time.”
While the two were talking, they had already reached the eighth floor of the basement.
When the elevator door opened, Dr. Sang ended the conversation between the two: “I see, come here.”
In the white laboratory, the man in the white coat that Bai Lixin saw yesterday was still doing experiments in it. Dr. Sang quickly entered a string of codes on the code door and walked in with Bai Lixin.
“Dr. Sang, you’re here.” White Coat paused his action and looked at Dr. Sang respectfully, his eyes sweeping over the young man he had never seen before.
Dr. Sang’s voice was icy, “Did two people come to deliver crystal nuclei yesterday?”
White Coat didn’t understand why Dr. Sang suddenly brought up this matter, but still answered seriously, “Yes.”
Dr. Sang said, “Investigate it. I suspect that they have been embezzling and privatizing the resources of the Ark for a long time, seriously damaging the resources of other ability users.”
White Coat was stunned for a moment, “Okay, Dr. Sang, I’ll have someone follow up on this.”
Strange, why did Dr. Sang suddenly ask about such a small matter today? Wasn’t he only focusing on the important project of supernatural inheritance? He never cared about small things like this.
This was Dr. Sang, who was above the mundane world. Could it be that those people had provoked Dr. Sang?
The perplexed man picked up the phone and instructed the guards outside.
After giving some instructions, Dr. Sang took Bai Lixin, pushed open the glass door next door, and came to a closed room.
The layout of this room was much like a library, but there was a large screen in the corner of the library.
There were many bookshelves against the wall, filled with books.
Dr. Sang walked calmly to the seat in front of the screen, elegantly sitting on the sofa with his back still straight.
White Coat took off the mask he had been wearing all the way, revealing his long-lost handsome face.
He patted the seat next to him, “Come over here and sit down. We’ll start with psychological counseling, let me see what your tolerance level is.”
The young man hesitated for a moment, moved to Dr. Sang’s side, and then slowly sat down. He was very close to Dr. Sang at first, but then he retreated to the edge of the sofa in a safe manner.
His behavior exemplified what it meant to be “shy and helpless,” “just quietly looking is good enough,” and “wanting to get closer but understanding his position.”

In the live broadcast room.
[Ah, I’m so in love with God Xin’s charming and charismatic boyfriend. I have a feeling that the Boss is going to suffer this time.]
[The moment God Xin changed his character, I guessed that this doctor might be the Boss. After all, even his back view is so handsome and charismatic, only the Boss can have this.]
[I think I just heard the Boss say, “Don’t call me brother-in-law anymore, I am not related to him.”]
[Hmm, I heard it too. I also heard the Boss telling God Xin to be careful and not associate them together.]
[Do you think the Boss’s face is going to be slapped eighteen times in a row this time?]
[Hahaha, fuck, the plot suddenly became interesting. I just want to see when the Boss will cover his face and say “Baby, I love you.”]
[Ah, my goodness, I can already imagine it, hahaha, it’s just too good.]
[The Boss is so bad this time. The previous bosses only talked tough, but they all hugged and kissed secretly. This time, the Boss gives me the feeling that he might kill God Xin in the next second.]
[Hmph, the tough talk released today will be the tears of regret in the future. Cry, you dog man!]
[I can almost see the Boss’s future. The more cruel he is now, the more pitiful he will be in the future.]
[Why do I love to watch this kind of wife chasing-crematorium? The Boss is so pitiful, I feel like God Xin hasn’t suffered any losses.]
[Next, we invite Gid Xin to elaborately interpret “My Boyfriend: The Damn Charm” for you]

The man stood up and walked to the incubator in the corner, searching through it for a while. Meanwhile, Bai Lixin sat upright in his chair, stealing glances at the man from the corner of his eye.
It was a bit hot In the room, and the man had already taken off his white coat. The sharply dressed man leaned over, and his well-tailored black suit hugged his waist and back, perfectly outlining his agile and well-proportioned figure.
It was somewhat provocative, yet restrained, and also alluring. What was going on here?
Bai Lixin swallowed secretly, and the moment the man got up, the young man quickly looked away.
Dr. Sang: “…”
Don’t think that you can hide your small movements from my eyes.
