Chapter 220 The Beautiful, Weak, and Miserable Mermaid (20)



"No sequel? Really no sequel?"

001, not believing in bad luck, asked the main system again, only to get the same result and receive a warning against harassment.

"That's strange. This kind of research is anti-human and anti-fairy, yet there's no sequel? Is it because the protagonists in this world are all love-obsessed and don't care about their careers?"

To say they were love-struck is true, but not entirely true. At least when facing the main villain, they put aside their reservations and didn't let their emotions interfere with their work.

But when it comes to career ambitions, neither the sword spirit nor the demon seems to have much ambition.

Di Xiu pondered for a moment, then tried to explain: "Their current research focuses on fairies, not spirits or demons. Besides, the Fairy Association and the special department can handle this on their own."

"That seems to make sense."

For the next few days, Di Xiu stayed in his dorm, sleeping, playing on his phone, and occasionally going to the library. While in his dorm, a miniature spider demon was watching him; outside, a fly demon was keeping an eye on him.

After two days of this, Di Xiu took the initiative to call the director to ask if there were any dangers in the research and how the salary would be calculated.

And so, he was finally able to access the core content.

Haotian Biotechnology Company is a standalone building with three floors on the top floor. There is miasma in the stairwell, as if it were decorated by a dream monster.

Normally, you can only go up by taking a special elevator and swiping your card.

Di Xiu followed the director out of the elevator and looked around.

At first glance, there's nothing special about this place, except that each laboratory is no longer transparent.

With a new person joining the team, most of the people passing by didn't react much, especially those wearing lab coats, whose faces were full of indifference and whose steps were hurried. They only nodded to the director and said, "Hello, Director Yuan."

The green snake spirit, who was suspected of having an affair with the director, walked over, glared at Di Xiu with annoyance, and hooked her arm around the director's hand as they walked inside.

Although the director was the head of the R&D department and the son of the company's chairman, he didn't seem to have any control over the people here. He found another young man and said proudly, "Brother, this is Xi Chao. He's a top student from Exeter University abroad."

The reason for saying it's abroad is mainly to prevent exposure.

If it's a domestic company, many employees are graduates of prestigious Chinese universities. If someone were to ask a few questions and happens to be from the same school and major, it could cause problems. However, overseas communication is largely network-based, which gives 001 more room to manipulate things.

The young man looked Di Xiu up and down, then smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, I am Yuan Zhong, the person in charge of this floor. Welcome to Haotian Biotechnology. You will be creating a new era with us."

Di Xiu reached out and grasped it.

He entered the upper three floors without any trouble, but the surveillance on him from the shadows only intensified.

He was new to the place and didn't understand the experiments, nor was he as experienced as the lab technicians who had been there for a long time, so he started working as an assistant again.

He frequently visited various laboratories, which led him to learn about the research situation there, and he also had to deal with intentional or unintentional probing from time to time.

Haotian Biotechnology collaborates with fairies, but also uses fairies for experiments. However, if you take a closer look at the backgrounds of these two types of fairies, it's not hard to understand.

The fairies who cooperated had all violated the rules set by the Fairy Association to varying degrees, making them essentially wanted criminals.

The green snake demon once terrified someone to death because he was not good at transforming into human form. He was supposed to be imprisoned for a hundred years, but he escaped and hid himself by using the aura of humans. He is also the source of Haotian Bio's secret research on demons.

As for those imprisoned and subjected to various experiments, Di Xiu observed them for a period of time and found that they were likely little demons who had been tricked and deceived. They were generally very weak, and the Fairy Association had no relevant records.

The experimenters often conducted various experiments on these little demons, but some of them were more like private torture. After thinking about it, Di Xiu discussed it with Yuan Zhong.

As he wished, he was isolated, and he naturally abandoned his persona, becoming withdrawn, gloomy, and mute.

The company doesn't keep idle people. Others want to exclude him, but they have to give him things to do. He's just that capable, shining even in the most trivial matters.

In just six months, Di Xiu officially began to participate in the research, but only as a participant. He followed a group that studied human and demon genes.

Two months later, he made a groundbreaking suggestion in his experiments. With his own laboratory and fewer fairies monitoring him, he began to live in the laboratory to carry out his purpose for coming there.

He brought in the somatic cells of Lefu that he had previously saved and began to create a body for her.

In a technologically advanced society, at least a physical shell is much easier to manufacture.

The mermaids' original bodies had been corrupted by demonic energy and were beyond saving. When Emperor Xiu arrived, he could only extract a small amount of clean tissue from their remains.

He controlled the fairy who was watching him and started doing his own thing.

All the equipment and instruments he needed were here, even the latest models. Combined with the knowledge and information he had acquired in the interstellar world, all he had to do now was to guard against it so that no one would notice.

When Yuan Zhong learned that he had been staying in the laboratory for several days in a row, he came over to remind him to be careful and take care of his health. Di Xiu said okay, but didn't listen.

With the support of advanced knowledge, it only takes three months to create a clone. Di Xiu can't delay the progress of his experiments, so he's even busier.

Yuan Zhong suspected that there was something wrong with his sudden enthusiasm, so he had someone monitor him and occasionally checked on him himself, but he couldn't find anything unusual.

He wanted to assign him two assistants, but Di Xiu refused, saying it would disrupt his rhythm and plans.

Yuan Zhong invited him to dinner and took the opportunity to send someone to check if there was anything amiss in the laboratory.

He did want to invite him for tea, but every meal was like a battle, so he couldn't persuade him to have tea.

All the data was hidden by 001, and Le Fu was also hidden by Emperor Xiu using an array. Naturally, the people sent by Yuan Zhong found nothing.

As Yuan Zhong listened to the report through his earpiece, he secretly observed the composed young man in front of him and said thoughtfully, "Xi Chao, you've never worked this hard before. Did something happen?"

Di Xiu swallowed the food in his mouth and asked, "Why do you say that, President Yuan?"

Yuan Zhong smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, as a leader, I really appreciate a hardworking and dedicated employee like you, but as a leader, I also have to consider all aspects. If something really has happened to you, you can tell the company, and the company will help you resolve it."

Di Xiu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm fine. If you want a reason, Mr. Yuan, it's because I'm in charge of this project, and it's very difficult and challenging. I enjoy challenges. Besides, I don't feel like I'm risking my life. If I can really achieve immortality, what I'm doing is earning a longer life."

"Then why did you refuse the assistant?"

Di Xiu gave a well-thought-out answer: "Because I'm selfish, I don't want to bring anyone."
