Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Hua, hua, hua!

Wings of Wind and Thunder flapped non-stop. Meanwhile, the wind and thunder tore through the surrounding in an imposing manner.

Within the narrow glass container, all they could see was rolling thunder and raging winds. The tornado and thunder shrouded the experiment subject from observation.

“The person is awake! It is surely worthy of the name ancient divine medicine, what miraculous effects it has!”

“If we could research the technique to develop it, we could subvert the entire gene potion market. Flourish and wealth, our Giant Pharmaceutical Company will become rich!”

“Quick, what are you waiting for! Study the new data from this lab rat!”

…

The R&D Department within the video was in chaos.

Feng Lin was also struck dumb when he saw this scene.

An ordinary person could grow the Wings of Wind and Thunder after consuming the ancient divine medicine. This scene was beyond imagination. It was in a complete contradiction with the theory of mythological genes!

It was no wonder that Luke from Mars Revolutionary Army was full of hostility and jealousy. It turned out that Giant Pharmaceutical Company had discovered a possibility that gene potion could be consumed by ordinary people. However, it was a technology that could not be resurrected at this time.

Boom!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of glass bursting.

Feng Lin watched in surprise. The highly tempered glass container was completely shattered and had fallen to the ground.

A fierce wind swept through for a second, and a slender man could be seen standing in place, carrying indomitable spirit inside his streamlined muscular body.

The man closed his wings together to cover himself; the researchers couldn’t get a clear look at his face.

“This is bad! The lab rat has escaped from the glass container!”

“Based on the intensity of his energy fluctuation, he may have already become a genetic cultivator!”

“Capture him, don’t let him get away. This is our best lab rat!”

…

Due to the sudden change in events, their surprise immediately turned to panic. Moreover, the words they had spoken angered the experiment subject even further.

Spreading his wings and revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes, the sounds he released from his throat were hoarse and low. It would seem that the experiment subject had not spoken in a long time. He gnawed his teeth as he spoke one word at a time, “I… want…you… all… dead!”

Once the word ‘dead’ was spoken, the next instance, the experiment subject accelerated from stillness to his peak speed, turning into a shadow and throwing himself at the crowd as if he was a ruthless predator. The feathers of his wings were sturdy and sharp.

His wings swept across, releasing a light that radiated the surroundings, blowing the dense red fog away.

In an instant, those feeble researchers couldn’t fight back, and it resulted in heavy casualties.

Powerful wind and thunder were released every time the mutated man flapped his wings.

He intently vented while flaunting his power, turning the R&D Department into a mess; screams could be heard and fleeing bodies could be seen.

Just when Feng Lin thought that the mutated man would continue on his rampage, he noticed that Manager Frank shouted something in the video, but he could not hear what Frank was saying there.

The recording had been specially edited to remove the voice recorded in this section.

Boom!

A loud bursting noise could be heard, and a black shadow appeared from thin air. The speed was so fast that even the video could not capture its exact appearance.

The black shadow was like a ghost as it appeared behind the mutated subject. Its hands caught the rapidly flapping wings and fiercely tore them.

The mutant screamed in pain as he looked behind him, showing a face that was filled with horror as the Wings of Wind and Thunder were ripped from his back and blood spilled unceasingly from his wounds.

However, the black shadow had disappeared without a trace.

It had only been an instant from the moment the shadow appeared until it finished dealing with the mutant. The speed at which it was completed made it feel almost like an illusion.

The only proof that the shadow had appeared was the mutant twitching and laying on the ground.

Feng Lin’s expression suddenly became serious. The Giant Pharmaceutical Company had many secrets, and now there was also a hidden formidable existence.

Although he could not clearly see the appearance of the shadow, he could approximate the height of the shadow, which was about five meters tall. It was definitely not human.

The members of the R&D Department were like three-year-old kids in front of the shadow.

In the end, the mutant that had gone berserk was now completely defenseless.

…

The mutant, who had his wings ripped out by the shadow, was violently twitching on the ground. He was completely in pain as blood gushed out of the wounds on his back. He no longer had the slightest power to resist.

It was as if all his power had left when the wings were ripped out.

Everyone swarmed toward the mutant and tied him up. They then continued the experiment.

The data displayed also proved this point. The mutant’s data had fallen across the board and returned to that of an ordinary person. There was nothing special about the data.

Feng Lin was getting ready to continue watching, but the recording finished all of a sudden. At this step, it had abruptly stopped.

He realized that he had just watched the footage depicting the beginning of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company’s discovery. They had fed an ordinary person the ancient divine medicine which had been retrieved from a mythological ruin. Surprisingly, it could cause an ordinary person to become a gene cultivator.

Perhaps Giant Pharmaceutical Company had started researching on this topic because they realized there was potential for ordinary people to gain extraordinary abilities by consuming gene potions.

Feng Lin repeatedly watched the recording three times. He memorized the progress of the R&D Department from top to bottom.

After discovering that ancient divine medicine had such miraculous effects, the Giant Pharmaceutical Company’s R&D Department immediately began their research. They wanted to replicate the process using gene potions. However, none of them had succeeded.

They had an abundance of talent who put forward a variety of ideas, but none of them was successful.

After all, this was an ancient divine medicine from the time of myths and legends which was a long lost technology. It contained the secrets of ancient divine cultivation which was not easy for people to crack.

However, Feng Lin now understood the fear of Luke from the Mars Revolutionary Army.

Technology was feasible and the Giant Pharmaceutical Company had the original medicine as an example. If they were about to replicate it, then they would naturally be able to develop this ancient divine medicine.

Although it was difficult to realize now, it would be successful sooner or later.

If Giant Pharmaceutical Company had an ulterior motive, with their huge impact and profound mastery in gene potions creation technology, they could cause complete chaos within the entire solar system if they made an arbitrary move.

This was not something that Feng Lin was willing to see.

He was only here to become a genetic pharmacist. He did not want to be dragged into a vortex of conflict. If he was not careful for an instant, he could be swallowed up without recourse.

What should he do about this now?

Feng Lin pondered and suddenly a thought flickered in his mind.

If he took the lead in discovering this ancient medicine’s formula, would it mean that he could interfere with the research direction of the R&D Department, allowing the situation to fall under his control?

He was completely stirred by this thought.

However, for him to succeed in researching the technique, it would require him to study the ancient divine medicine. Only watching the research recording did not help his situation.

These research recordings were the experience of those who failed. Even watching more of them would not help him find the possibility for success.

What was there for him to pay attention to?

The next day, when he arrived at the R&D department, Feng Lin told team leader Aike about his intention.

Once Aike heard it, he was shocked. “What? You want to study the ancient divine medicine yourself?”

Due to the effects of Feng Lin’s brainwashing, Aike’s impression of Feng Lin was superb. However, when Feng Lin said that he had spent only one day to watch all the research recordings and wanted to study the ancient divine medicine himself, Aike was at disbelief.

No matter how talented he was, a newbie was still a newbie!

This ancient divine medicine was R&D Department’s greatest secret. It wasn’t something that could be seen just because he wanted to see it.

“Feng Lin, don’t bite off more than you can chew! You should take it one step at a time!” Even though Aike was upset, he still persuaded Feng Lin patiently.

Seeing this harsh and sulky person have such a good attitude toward himself, Feng Lin laughed within his heart. This was the marvelous power of brainwashing.

Through the hypnotism technique, he was able to change people’s views one step at a time. The effect of his technique was obvious.

Toward Aike’s implied rejection, Feng Lin stubbornly continued without backing down.

“Yes, team leader. I have already finished watching all the research recordings. However, I realized that there have been no breakthroughs with the research topic. Although the R&D Department is filled with talent—many of them are already professional genetic pharmacists—they still had not been successful in cracking the research topic. If I followed in their way of thinking, I would not be able to do any better with the research topic! That’s why I want to approach the topic from the ancient divine medicine. I may be able to discover some new ideas!”

He is still a genetic researcher but already wants to develop his own method and ideas? What kind of joke is this?

Aike’s instinct was ready to reject Feng Lin.

“Agree to it!” At this moment, a voice rang and interrupted Aike.

Aike turned his head around and noticed that Manager Frank was coming over.

“Manager, you mean…” He could not believe it.

“I think what Feng Lin was saying makes a lot of sense!” Manager Frank laughed as he implored, “You, bring him to the secluded lab!”

Aike was stunned. He did not expect Manager Frank to regard Feng Lin with such importance. No matter how good his impression of Feng Lin was; at this time, he would develop a sense of jealousy.

If a newbie were to make any contribution, wouldn’t he or she become an equal of Aike or even surpass him?

No matter how good his impression of Feng Lin was, facing people that threatened their status, he would still take extra precautions.

However, he did not show his discontent in front of the boss. Instead, he nodded and said, “Okay!”

“Follow me!” Aike said these words stiffly as he turned around and walked forward.

Toward Aike’s sudden cold attitude, Feng Lin felt strange.

Was his brainwashing ineffective now?

After thinking for a bit, he understood the reason. This was the fault of competitive gains.

This was an essential desire of men; even brainwashing could not change that.

He stopped worrying and followed along.

As he walked by, Manager Frank specifically patted his shoulder. “Feng Lin, do your best! I am very optimistic about your work! If you were able to crack the code to the secret of the ancient divine medicine, Giant Pharmaceutical Company’s reward will be beyond your imagination.”

Feng Lin nodded.

At this point, Aike had already reached the deepest corner of the R&D Department and spoke in a deep tone, “A.I., open the secluded lab!”

A red light shone on his body as mechanical noises could be heard in the air.

“Identity verified! Secluded lab is about to open!”

Feng Lin watched the metal wall in front of him move to the two sides, revealing a giant space.

This was a large laboratory built entirely of metal. The four walls had no gaps in it, and it was completely enclosed where even flies could not enter.

Feng Lin felt like his horizons had broadened.

The Giant Pharmaceutical Company had too many secrets. Without becoming a core staff, he would never be able to know how many trump cards the company had.

Feng Lin entered the lab and immediately saw the crystal ball in the center. The interior of the ball was a complete vacuum environment. In the middle of the vacuum, an ointment-like medicine could be seen floating about freely.

COMMENT FIRST

Unexpectedly.

The interior of the enclosed laboratory was very empty; a stark contrast to the overcrowded area outside.

The crystal ball in the middle caught Feng Lin’s attention.

The environment within the sphere was a completely sterile vacuum. Floating within, a paste-like substance could be seen. However, the paste did not have an aesthetic appearance. It was soft and dry like that of mud.

But Feng Lin could tell from one glance that it was the ancient divine medicine he had previously seen in the research recording.

“That is the ancient divine medicine! There is a scanning machine here that can scan drugs and display what the drug’s composition and structure are! You should handle it with care, don’t touch things unnecessarily! If you damage the ancient divine medicine, you won’t be able to afford it even if you sell your soul!” Though Aike did not enter the laboratory, he warned Feng Lin seriously.

As the research taskforce’s leader, Aike was no stranger to the ancient divine medicine. He had seen it quite a bit but had not garnered any results in his research. Seeing it anymore would not result in anything.

What would this brat achieve from here on?

Watching Feng Lin’s figure walking in, his expression was gloomy.

The metal wall closed naturally. In an instant, Feng Lin was the only person left inside the enclosed laboratory. It was extremely quiet, an environment that was suitable for experimentation.

Feng Lin acted accordingly as such an important laboratory would have surveillance set within. Maybe Manager Frank and team leader Aike were observing him from behind the scenes.

He observed diligently and began his research toward the ancient divine medicine.

It was just as he expected.

Inside the office, a holographic projection was monitoring his every move. Frank and Aike were watching as they started to discuss.

“Aike, do you think he can have some results?” Manager Frank said with a smile on his face.

“Impossible!” Aike shook his head as he spoke, “Though this kid has talent, the ancient divine medicine is the result of mythological techniques. Thus, it is not easy to break through and comprehend. There are so many official geneticists here and yet none of us have done it! The main reason is that there was a huge technical barrier. The ancient divine medicine is in a solid state, while potions are in liquid form. It may seem like only its state that has changed, but its innate essence is completely different!”

Though he had a good relationship with Feng Lin right now, he was less than optimistic about Feng Lin’s results. The reasons he provided were also very logical.

Manager Frank was not surprised either. “Although it is very unlikely that he would succeed, I still hope this kid can make a breakthrough! Since this ancient divine medicine was discovered from the mythological ruin, I specifically hired Feng Lin because of his knowledge with myths and legends. I wanted to utilize his knowledge to see if he could uncover the truth behind the ancient divine medicine. You should know that headquarters have been rushing us for an answer. They want to carry out the plan as soon as possible. Moreover, the rebel army of Mars has been more active lately. It seems they are up to something. The current situation is becoming more unstable.”

“I hope so!”

The voices of the two gradually calmed down.

Of course, Feng Lin naturally had no clue what was happening in the office. He was studying the ancient divine medicine carefully.

Only by seeing it himself could he realize how mysterious the ancient divine medicine was.

This ancient divine medicine was in a solid state. It was completely different from the normal gene potions.

Gene potion was in a liquid state because it allowed the medicinal effect to be absorbed quickly.

How does this solid drug work? How could it allow ordinary people to awaken mythological genes without their body exploding?

These were all questions that Feng Lin pondered within his heart.

He began to scan the ancient divine medicine with the instrument. A projected light was illuminated on the medicine, displaying the data.

“Carbon: 27.23%, Oxygen: 21.54%, Mercury: 18.25%, Copper: 10.2% … …”

Feng Lin observed the results of the scan. He realized that there were various elements shown on the display.

He was not satisfied with the scan results.

The galaxy was full of elements. What good would it be to know these?

The key was to know its synthetic form!

But something strange occurred. There were many strange shadows on the scanned image. Feng Lin could tell there were countless circular structures connected, but he could not see them clearly.

Feng Lin continued to use various instruments within the laboratory. The results turned out to be fruitless.

“He’s scanning the drug’s composition!”

“No much use! The ancient divine medicine has extraordinary characteristics. It contains too many spirit particles which could interfere with the scanning equipment!”

Frank and Aike observed Feng Lin’s movements closely as they commented.

At this time, Feng Lin had discovered one thing.

A clump of garbled characters appeared on the image of the instrument. It was the result of spirit particles’ irregular motion.

The spirit particles within the ancient divine medicine were off the charts, interfering with the rays used for scanning. The interference left a mess as dense static covered the entire image. It was difficult for people to see the truth clearly.

This did not just occur to him, Feng Lin discovered within the research recording that others before him had the same issue. They could only use primitive means to explore the effects of the drugs.

They had taken small samples of the ancient divine medicine and force-fed it on the experiment subjects. Through observations of their reactions, the researchers then hypothesized the effects of the ancient divine medicine.

The efficiency of this method was too low.

Feng Lin knew that he needed to be the first one to arrive at the right answer; thus, he could not use this method. To explore one step at a time was too slow. To see through the essence of the ancient divine medicine was the only route.

The premise was that he had to thoroughly study the ancient divine medicine!

Unfortunately, these scientific instruments would not work. Feng Lin did not come up with any good solution at this time.

He was deep in thought as his mental energy unconsciously leaked from between his brows.

Suddenly, he came to a thought. Mental energy can detect everything, why could it not be used to detect the components of the ancient divine medicine?

Once he came up with the idea, he acted upon it.

However, to prevent his secret of awakening the Mental Gene from being discovered, Feng Lin acted as if he was observing the data on the instrument as he discreetly released his mental energy to penetrate the ancient divine medicine.

Immediately, he felt the difference.

Spirit particles and mental energy seemed to have a wonderful coordination that resulted in no interferences during the mental scan.

The components of the ancient divine medicine were presented clearly.

Feng Lin was surprised to see that the interior of the divine medicine was not a macromolecular structure. Instead, it was composed of numerous crystal-like substances that formed a paste.

Each crystal was independent of each other but closely bundled together as if it was one whole.

Feng Lin was secretly surprised. How was such a logical and scientific structure formed? It was simply a work of art!

This was impossible to achieve with the current gene potion technology. A completely new discovery!

Feng Lin couldn’t help but imagine what technology would have been able to refine such a wonderful—to its microscopic level—drug.

What godly technique!

This was completely incomprehensible with his current abilities.

For this exact reason, Feng Lin felt that the previous R&D department was on the wrong track. If they did not understand this strange technology, it would be impossible to recreate the effect of the divine medicine. Blindly exploring was of no use.

Just like a frog at the bottom of a well: no matter how intelligent and creative it was, it would not be able to know the real sky.

Feng Lin began to concentrate on his observations by utilizing his mental energy.

The more focused he was, the more detailed his perceptions became.

The crystals appeared to be perfect polygons. There were not too many or too little edges. They were filled with the beauty of arithmetic.

Thump thump thump!

Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration. It was very light but clear.

Feng Lin could no longer control the expression on his face. He widened his eyes. He could feel that the crystals were shaking slightly as if they had life. Moreover, they were moving slowly as if they were tiny microbes.

This is not an illusion!

The crystal materials have… bio-magnetic field?

What is this?

Feng Lin was completely shocked!

Is this a life-refined medicine?
