"Because I'm selfish, I don't want to bring anyone."
Yuan Zhong's silence was a wake-up call.
Oh, is it really okay for you to be so blunt?
That actually works.
He pondered Xi Chao's every move and found that his purpose seemed very pure: to climb the ranks. He began to suspect that his previous complaints were also purposeful, that he was ostracized so that he could climb up without being dragged down.
This person seems straightforward and single-minded, but he is also too rational and aloof, making him difficult to control. Even though Yuan Zhong has not noticed anything unusual about him so far, he has not completely let his guard down.
“Then I’ll ask Ma Yue to help you. Xi Chao, in this society, cooperation is more advantageous than going it alone. A lone wolf like you is very dangerous. No one is perfect and can do everything. Cooperation can help you make up for your weaknesses.”
Who is Ma Yue?
This reaction was indeed not one of the options Yuan Zhong had anticipated, and he fell silent once again.
It's not that they're isolating you, it's that you're isolating them, right?
Di Xiu thought for a moment: "Is it the one who brought me here when I first came up?"
Yuan Zhong sighed deeply, but then he continued, "The basis for cooperation is equal strength. I hope that someone with similar strength to me will come. Zhao You is alright."
Yuan Zhong thought carefully for a moment about who Zhao was, and after a long silence, said, "You're not talking about Zhao Yi, are you?"
Zhao Yi, a veteran of the company, is currently the only formidable figure who can barely rival Xi Chao. People in the company generally call him Teacher Zhao.
Before Di Xiu could speak again, Yuan Zhong decisively said, "It's good that you're working alone. If you have any questions or needs, just let me know."
"good."
After everyone finished their meals quietly, Di Xiu put his tray in the food collection area and returned to the laboratory.
Yuan Zhong returned to his office, where a human and a demon were already waiting to report the results; naturally, there was nothing unusual.
"Should we continue to keep an eye on it?"
Yuan Zhong rubbed his temples and said, "It would be best if there were no problems, but you should still check on things every three to five days from now on, don't let your guard down."
...
In a corner of Di Xiu's laboratory, there was an aquarium where a turtle spirit was kept. It was also an experimental subject, and occasionally a little blood was drawn from it. Most of the time, it lay there sleeping and quietly cultivating, living a much more comfortable life than the other experimental subjects.
Limited by its perspective, it didn't know what the experimenter did on a daily basis, but it vaguely sensed that he might not be human, or at least not an ordinary person, though it didn't tell the other fairies.
Someone came in while that person was away. It recognized one of them as a fairy, a fairy more powerful than itself. It shrank back and didn't dare to say a word.
When that person returned, it wanted to tell him about it, but then it remembered that he couldn't understand its language, and it felt a little sad.
Di Xiu actually heard the tortoise talking, and even its usual mutterings, but if he was going to pretend to be human, he would pretend to be completely human, so he chose to ignore it.
After lunch that day, Di Xiu was given a great deal of freedom. When the experiment reached a certain hurdle, he naturally slowed down the pace—he only needed to do better than the other experimental groups.
Lefu's body gradually took shape, and at the same time, Dixiu fell ill due to long hours of overtime work—he was faking it.
Taking advantage of the night, he carried the blue-tailed mermaid back to his dormitory.
He initially lived in a four-person room, but now he has a single room, and even a studio apartment, a significant improvement in his living conditions.
Di Xiu took three days off in the middle of the night. The next morning, Yuan Zhong called. It took a while for 001 to answer. His voice was weak and listless, as if he was about to die.
Yuan Zhong wanted to be generous and let Xi Chao rest well, but thinking that no one could take over his experiment, he touched his empty heart and told him to come back to work when he felt better.
001 Following Di Xiu's instructions, the experiment was temporarily put on hold and he was told not to worry. He reluctantly told Di Xiu to rest well and that someone would keep an eye on the lab.
After hanging up the phone, 001 muttered, "Ruthless capitalists."
Di Xiu was undergoing the final step of his resurrection. He didn't disturb him. Looking down, he saw a message pop up on his phone. It was from Yuan Zhong saying that someone had sent breakfast over.
001 glanced at his own thin arms and legs, and asked him with some worry to have someone hang breakfast on the doorknob.
A soul cannot simply merge with any body it touches; even the original cannot, let alone a copy.
Di Xiu then used his spiritual power to set up arrays, draw talismans, and chant incantations, almost draining his own strength, before finally stabilizing Le Fu's soul within his body.
But it will take some time before she is truly resurrected, as she needs to adapt to this body.
He put the Lefu in the bathtub, filled it with water, and then protected the bathroom to prevent any unruly spirits from wandering in and finding something amiss.
When he changed dorm rooms, he specifically mentioned that he liked taking baths and wanted a large bathtub. But even the largest bathtub has its limits; a mermaid's tail is so long that two people lying in it would overflow. However, he didn't have that much money to buy a house under his current circumstances.
I think I should just buy an aquarium.
He put a cleansing talisman on himself and propped himself up to lie down on the bed.
001 went over to massage him, her little face full of melancholy: "There are still twenty-one mermaids left. How long will it take to work here? And this apartment can't hold that many mermaids."
Di Xiu closed his eyes, his voice weak: "It won't take that long. If it's just about raising it into a larva, it can be finished within six months."
Is this okay?
"I'm about 80-90% sure."
"Then how will you get them back to the sea?"
Emperor Xiu has plans, but he usually doesn't consider the details too much. For example, he categorizes the matter of transporting mermaids as something that can be done on a whim.
When merging with a body, one cannot move freely. Either the Emperor Cultivator stays here for another six months to a year, or he takes the body back to the sea first and then performs the final step of resurrection.
He leaned towards the latter, but these soulless bodies couldn't be turned into small fish, and taking them away would be a big problem.
After much deliberation, he decided that it would be more appropriate to ask the Dragon King for help.
As for how to contact him, Di Xiu asked 001, "Can the Dragon King's tablet connect to the internet?"
"Yes, I used to see him playing games with other Dragon Kings every day."
"Well, we'll find the Dragon King then."
Will he agree?
"meeting."
What to do after sending the mermaid away? Well, there's no plan at all. Just leave. Let Haotian Bio give the Fairy Association a headache.
...
As time went by, Di Xiu's project was quite difficult. He was given three years, and he would give a little progress report every week to get by.
He focused his attention on cloned mermaids.
001 was a little curious: "Do cloned mermaids also have the effect of immortality in their hearts?"
After a moment of silence, Di Xiu said, "Theoretically, it's possible."
He compared the previous and current gene sequences of Leverkusen, and so far there seems to be no difference, but there may be some substances that current instruments cannot detect, distinguish, or replicate.
Apart from Laugh, the others are all teenagers or even juvenile fish.
Di Xiu began to clone bodies for these little mermaids.
