Are you sure?
Sheng Huainan scoffed, "What's there to be uncertain about? I know my own body best."
"Young man, you can't be too confident."
The director smiled meaningfully and said, "How long has it been since you had a genetic test?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Huainan's expression instantly changed.
Frederick and his companions, who had been sitting to the side, also changed their expressions.
"If there's a problem with the genes, will the protective mechanisms kick in?"
Lu Wanwan asked in shock, and the director nodded, "Yes, if it's just a simple decline in bodily functions, the protective mechanism cannot be triggered."
"Only when there is a problem with the genes will the protective mechanism be triggered when the athlete has no external or internal injuries or poisoning, except for a decline in physical function."
As he spoke, the director looked at Sheng Huainan and said seriously, "I just watched your performance, it was brilliant. Under normal circumstances, you shouldn't have reached the point where you would have to withdraw from the competition due to the protection mechanism, but you did trigger it."
"The only reason this can happen is that there's something wrong with your body."
"We need to conduct a detailed and comprehensive examination to find out the specific problem, but in my experience, the probability that you have a genetic problem is higher than that of other diseases."
Since the start of the survival show on the desolate planet, there have been more and more cases of genetic diseases.
This is not an isolated case, but a problem that must be faced after too many generations of genetic mixing.
Many, many years ago, His Excellency Fimmel proposed the concept of using genetic hybridization to optimize genes and make them more perfect.
However, species isolation still existed at that time. In order to make genes more perfect and to make future generations more outstanding, the wise men and scientists of all races began to devote themselves to studying how to break the phenomenon of species isolation that hindered the evolution of intelligent races.
This process lasted for over a century, and the problem of species isolation was successfully broken through the efforts of scientists from various races.
Thus, interracial marriages began.
Later, humans migrated from the Milky Way and, after testing, discovered that human genes are the most perfect.
Upon learning this result, humans, with their most perfect genes, became the ideal partners for all races.
But humans at that time were inherently proud. Even though they had just immigrated from that backward and remote asteroid in the Milky Way, and even though life was difficult for them as new members, intelligent life of various races was not included in their mate selection criteria due to huge differences in aesthetics.
Humans primarily digest food internally.
But various intelligent races began to covet human genes, and so the suppression began.
As a veteran member, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to suppress a new member who has just joined with no background or connections.
Thus, humanity, whose lives were already difficult, was forced to compromise under the combined pressure from the veteran members.
From then on, more and more races began to interbreed with humans.
Human genes were indeed perfect in the early stages. Putting aside the physical constitution of offspring with human genes, it is an undeniable fact that their mental domain is wider and has a higher upper limit than that of offspring without human genes.
Most of the children of that generation who possessed human genes became leaders in their respective fields after growing up.
Only a very small number remain unknown for one reason or another.
However, the desires of intelligent beings have no upper limit; they are endless. Once they reach a goal, they want to climb to a higher level.
Nothing in this world is perfect, and most people cannot afford the price of perfection.
In pursuit of perfection, intelligent beings were no longer satisfied with the vastness of their spiritual realm and the strength of their mental power; they began to aspire to possess not only a vast spiritual realm but also a robust and powerful physique.
So, the genes started mixing and mixing, and eventually, the genes started to have problems.
Gene optimization fluid and modification fluid emerged under such circumstances. Apart from a few insiders, most people thought that gene optimization fluid and modification fluid were good things.
Little did they know, these two gene-targeting drugs were the biggest scam in the world.
A scam that has lasted for nearly two thousand years.
Now, the scam has reached a point where even the centralized authorities are on the verge of being unable to contain it and it is about to completely explode.
Of all the intelligent races in the entire Moykaz, only the pure-blooded primitive humans who once remained on the planet Aquamarine in the Milky Way galaxy possess the most primitive and nearly perfect genes and are not troubled by genetic diseases.
Thinking of this, the director sighed inwardly and said to Sheng Huainan, "When you get back to the ship, go get a full medical check-up first. If there's really no problem with your genes, I'll make the decision to let you return to the competition and continue your unfinished journey."
What do you think?
"good!"
Sheng Huainan started to panic. Could he really be that unlucky as to have a genetic problem?!
Most people may not know or understand what a genetic disease is like, but he knows that he has a close brother who has contracted a genetic disease, though he doesn't know how he got it.
But when it flares up, it's truly painful.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that diseases involving genes cannot be completely cured with current medical methods; they can only be suppressed with targeted drugs.
When suppression becomes completely uncontrollable, death is not far off.
Sheng Huainan was genuinely afraid of contracting a genetic disease. He prayed silently the whole way, praying that the director was wrong and that the protection mechanism was malfunctioning.
With this mindset in mind, and under the arrangement of the program crew who had already received instructions from the director, he entered the medical pod for a detailed and comprehensive physical examination amidst the worried gazes of all the contestants who had not yet left.
An hour later, the various medical examination reports came out one after another.
The genetic report is not yet available.
An hour and a half later, the genetic report still hadn't appeared, but the relevant medical staff asked Sheng Huainan to return to the medical ward for a genetic retest.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Huainan's heart sank completely, but he still cooperated and entered the medical pod.
After another hour of waiting, the report finally came out.
Sheng Huainan's last shoe finally dropped. Looking at the medical worker in front of him, whose lips were moving, he felt extremely dizzy.
After the staff member finished speaking, he gave a bitter smile, "Should I just wait to die?"
Staff member, "..."
Not necessarily.
"Don't worry, you won't die."
Even if it cannot be cured, one can still live to a ripe old age.
but--
"Mr. Sheng, the chief director has something he'd like to discuss with you."
"Oh, let's talk."
Sheng Huainan was quite open-minded. He was powerless to change things now, and he had no choice but to accept it. Fate had not given him a second option, but the director had given him a second option.
Therefore, he decisively seized the opportunity and agreed to join the New World project as directed by the chief director.
Then, after arriving at the main ship with Lu Wanwan and the others, he left alone, led by the staff.
