Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

It was a day at work again. There were many people bustling about inside the Giant Pharmaceutical Department, all extremely busy.

As Feng Lin walked into the R&D department, he discovered that many of his colleagues had already arrived. Their faces were filled with a fanatical look as they did human experimentations.

Their hairs were clearly disheveled, and they had a putrid smell. It was unknown how long had it been since they had last bathed. However, nobody cared about this; all of them had the appearance of a mad researcher.

These people treated the R&D department like their homes and would labor here through day and night. Other than sleeping and eating, the rest of their time was spent on doing research. They were so passionate that it was almost crazy.

The door opened silently and Feng Lin walked in, instantly attracting the attention of many people.

After all, they had very deep impressions about Feng Lin.

Earlier, this newbie only spent less than a day worth of time before he successfully modified the formula for the Adrenaline Potion and created a huge commotion. Even the team leader Aike who always liked to nitpick had to endure in silence.

All of them had different looks in their eyes as they stared, coldness, loathing, trepidation…

“Good morning, everyone!” Feng Lin smiled and nodded at his colleagues, appearing extremely harmless. The warm rays of the sun lit up his smile, influencing the hearts of others.

“One doesn’t hit a smiling man.”

The sense of enmity toward this new colleague of theirs, Feng Lin, also gradually lessened.

Nobody noticed that Feng Lin’s finger was moving about like performing a dance, shifting into marvelous postures. A bizarre fluctuation formlessly extended outward, like a warm and gentle wind, brushing the face of others.

Everyone felt slightly absent-minded, they only sensed that the smile of the young man before them was extremely warm and gentle, causing others to involuntarily want to get close to him.

What am I doing?

They mumbled silently to themselves, shaking their heads. But even after a long time, they didn’t discover any clues.

For some reason, they all felt that Feng Lin was extremely pleasing to the eye. When looking at him, no ill-will would appear in their hearts.

They couldn’t help but think back to their attitudes earlier when they were filled with enmity and hostility toward Feng Lin.

What’s going on with me?

Why would I feel jealous of a young man? He is only just a newbie that has just arrived. It’s impossible for him to threaten our positions. Not only that, but his capabilities in the domain of genetic potions far surpass others. He just came here for a day and already modified the Adrenaline Potion’s formula to such great effects. His arrival would only greatly speed up the research topics we have at the taskforce!

As his seniors, shouldn’t they be filled with a welcoming attitude and take good care of this newbie instead?

Such thoughts silently appeared in the minds of these people in the R&D department. All of them then started looking at Feng Lin with a friendly smile on their faces.

They felt an indescribable feeling in their hearts, and they didn’t know how to articulate what they were feeling.

If one wanted to describe this simply, that would be…

“It’s really effective.” Feng Lin didn’t really feel too surprised at this scene.

That’s right, he was already stealthily using his hypnotism technique. But naturally, when there were so many people, it was impossible for him to grasp the bio-magnetic fields of all of them and lure them into a deep sleep.

He wasn’t able to do that, but then again, he didn’t really need to do that.

If he used too much mental energy, the entire group here in the R&D department might be completely hypnotized, and that would create endless troubles for him. Anyone would have been able to tell that there had been a problem then.

Hence, Feng Lin merely changed his own bio-magnetic field slightly and radiated a formless influence that would reduce the amount of hostility the others were feeling toward him and caused them to involuntarily want to get close to him. The effect of doing so was easy to see.

Originally, he was a newbie who cut the line, being transferred to the R&D department the moment he joined. Because of the competition for benefits, it was hard to avoid drawing the hostilities of others. But now, the feeling of enmity in the air was greatly reduced, and there would frequently be people around him smiling at him.

It was truly the right decision to learn hypnotism techniques. He silently removed the feeling of rejection his colleagues had toward him, allowing him to more easily assimilate into the R&D department to obtain the core secrets.

This was like allowing him to obtain the weapons of others by not fighting.

The hostility he suffered had already been greatly reduced and in the future, his situation in the R&D department would also be more comfortable.

Feng Lin didn’t immediately return to his seat. He started to observe the human test subjects that were inside the glass cabins.

The faces of his fellow researchers were filled with a fanatical look as they inserted the contents of a genetic potion through a tube that was inserted into the body of a human test subject. They then paid close attention to the reaction of the body and was panting excitedly with a feverish expression on their faces.

The instruments above the glass cabin constantly monitored the reactions of the test subject and recorded all the data.

Under the impact from the energies contained inside the genetic potion, there would occasionally be test subjects imploding from within, becoming a mess of flesh and blood. After the glass cabin was cleaned up swiftly, another new test subject was forced into it as the experiments continued.

Feng Lin stood at the side. He didn’t disturb these researchers and was silently contemplating about these human test subjects.

Upon a closer look, he did indeed discover some of the points he missed before.

From what the manager had told him, these human test subjects were all death convicts. This point might be real, but it was worthy to think about the origins of these death convicts.

Although these death convicts had all lost their awareness due to the effects of being drugged, their bodies were still extremely strong and fit. They didn’t seem to be dragged here from prisons.

Given how chaotic The Solar System Coalition Government was, the environment in prison was akin to that of hell. It wasn’t a place that was suitable for humans to stay in. Once a convict was sent into the prison, it was already very good if he managed to survive. How could he still consume food until he was full? Those who entered prison would at least lose a layer of their skin.

The vast majority of death convicts should be emaciated, as thin as a match. Yet, these human test subjects before his eyes were all extremely fit with developed muscles while radiating a fierce and tough aura. They seemed to resemble experienced soldiers that had gone through a hundred battles or more.

Upon seeing this scene, Feng Lin’s trust in the Mars Revolutionary Army’s words increased by a little.

But it was just by a little.

Without seeing the true irrefutable proof, Feng Lin wouldn’t compel himself to do anything. He would only bury his speculations deep in his heart.

He still felt vigilant in his heart, but it was only because he wanted to be prepared just in case.

After that, Feng Lin didn’t do anything or ask any questions. He pretended that it was only because he was curious that he walked so near to observe. After that, he returned to his seat and stayed there.

As a member of the research taskforce, Feng Lin used his Id microchip to connect to the network inside the department. He then downloaded some information and understood the contents of the research topic.

He discovered that it was truly researching on how to allow ordinary humans to consume genetic potions, and this project had been ongoing for almost two years.

Their thoughts were to improve on the weakest of all low-grade genetic potions in order to allow ordinary humans to consume them, gradually strengthening their constitution. For example, potions like the Adrenaline Potions would gradually allow their bodies to adapt to the medicinal effect of genetic potions. They would then slowly increase the grade of genetic potions step by step, gradually making the bodies of ordinary humans adapt to it. In conclusion, an overall plan of consuming low-grade genetic potions to high-grade was formed, and the plan was separated into many minor steps.

Each procedure was highly targeted in their objective, allowing the mythological genes of ordinary humans to be stimulated, passively awakening them before slowly upgrading and strengthening the genes, allowing the genes to develop into primeval genes. And from there on, artificially created interstellar cultivators would exist.

But because this was a method that excessively destroyed the normal manner of cultivation, these artificial cultivators would find that their potential was greatly reduced and their life force would even be overdrafted, leading to a great reduction in their lifespan. It would be tough for them to continue evolving ever again.

But this was already enough.

Interstellar cultivators were lofty existences, just like Superman on Earth. To many people, this was something that couldn’t be actively sought after even if they really wanted it. So, even if there was a reduction in their lifespans, there would undoubtedly be countless people who no longer had hope in cultivation willing to gamble on this.

But the reality was always like this: the more beautiful you imagine something was, the more different it would be when you actually did it.

The research topic’s path of thinking seemed to be pretty good. There were no flaws in the theory, but in reality, the actual progress was slowed to a crawl. Even using genetic potions to allow ordinary humans to awaken the lowest-grade basic genes was also extremely difficult to achieve. Hence, it was clear that if they continued to research in this direction, they already wouldn’t be far from a failure.

When Feng Lin was looking at the information of the research topic, others were paying attention to him as well.

Feng Lin radiated a sense of amicability, causing the goodwill others felt toward him to be multiplied.

Finally, one of the researchers summoned his courage and walked over. “Feng Lin, your modification of the Adrenaline Potion is extremely successful. I wonder if you can share with me your formula for me to gain experience?”

This question was very impudent.

Where would there be people asking such direct questions about one’s secrets?

But Feng Lin was thinking like this.

Isn’t this a very good opportunity for me to form good relations with the people in the R&D Department?

It was just a modified formula for a high-grade Adrenaline Potion! Since Feng Lin already had the formula for the perfect-grade Adrenaline Potion, he naturally didn’t care too much about the formula for the high-grade one. He might as well take it out to use it to build up good relations here.

A smile appeared on his face. His eyes had a look of complete trust and sincerity as he replied, “Of course!”

“The Adrenaline Potion is a potion that stimulates the human body to secrete adrenaline. It can increase one’s mental response speed. Hence, if you wish to modify the formula, you have to start first from the medical component’s effect…” Feng Lin spoke, telling them the experience he gained from modifying the Adrenaline Potion’s formula to a high-grade one. He naturally didn’t mention a single word about the formula for the perfect-grade Adrenaline Potion.

But this was already enough. The researchers in the surroundings continued to move closer as they listened seriously to Feng Lin imparting his experience.

A formless feeling of amiability and warmth radiated out from Feng Lin, akin to a plague.

Everyone in the R&D department felt that Feng Lin was truly a good man, not hiding anything from them. He was willing to impart to them such valuable knowledge and experience.

Two pair of eyes in the R&D department silently watched this scene.

The eyes of Manager Frank were serene and boundlessly deep; no one could guess what he was thinking about.

As for the other pair of eyes—from the research taskforce leader Aike who was standing not far away—they were filled with a sinister look and trepidation. His expression turned ashen and he didn’t speak for a long time.

All of a sudden, Feng Lin transformed from a newbie into the most popular person in the R&D department.

Such formless influence was the most critical!
