[According to the system's calculations of your mental capacity, the next optimal simulation time is 6 hours later.]
When Chen Ran woke up again, he found himself about to take off his clothes.
Combining this with the memories of number 666, he realized where he was now.
First Research Institute.
During this time, Subject 666 had always been a capable assistant for both Vill-V and Mobius. The former was due to the lack of other assistants, while the latter was because Mobius often treated him more like a lab rat.
He had become proficient at operating the excavator to clear all obstacles, and a wealth of excavator knowledge surged in Chen Ran's mind.
However, it was regrettable that Subject 666 had not learned much about the Honkai field at the First Research Institute. Although there were learning materials provided by Durandal, without an independent research lab, it was impossible to verify this knowledge.
Honkai was a field extremely unfamiliar to everyone; in this domain, there were no axioms, theorems, or classic formulas. All achievements were built upon complex trial and error and accumulated experience.
Nevertheless, he still had to get through this tough situation.
Mobius impatiently opened the door, her voice both gentle and frightening: "My lovely lab rat, are you ready?"
Chen Ran sighed and asked, "Do I really have to take everything off?"
"Uh-huh, are you shy? Or do you think I would be shy?"
Although Mobius had no partner and lacked experience in this area, as a biologist, she had plenty of knowledge about it.
She smiled brightly: "If you perform well, I might even give you a reward."
"Doctor, are you saying I can get a raise?" Chen Ran asked with some anticipation.
Mobius was slightly surprised and laughed: "So your only pursuit is a raise?"
Chen Ran replied, "After all, Doctor, you know that while money isn't everything, having no money is absolutely not an option. If I want to get married and have kids in the future, I can't expect to do so without a pay raise."
Mobius instinctively chuckled.
"Oh, I thought you were a special individual, but it seems you still secrete the common dopamine of animals." She waved her hand: "Then let's see how you perform."
Chen Ran instinctively said, "Can the doctor leave? I'm shy."
Mobius walked away without looking back.
…
…
Now, Chen Ran had become Mobius's best research subject.
The system provided Chen Ran with Honkai Energy eligibility, and combined with his status as a special Stigmata, it could be said that Chen Ran was more special than any warrior.
In addition, Mobius had previously found inspiration from Chen Ran's genetic makeup through the research on counteracting Honkai memory conducted by Mei.
Honkai not only affected the observable realm but was also influenced by the unobservable realm.
For example, thought.
Her previous experiments on Stigmata had always failed because the lab rats used were either devoid of thought or had weak cognitive abilities.
Counteracting Honkai memory directly impacted the brain regions of the lab rats, interfering with their brainwaves, which led to the constant failure of the experiments.
This meant that the only subjects capable of accepting the gene injection experiment for counteracting Honkai memory were humans.
From this perspective, experiments related to Honkai could only start from humans.
Mobius had not previously considered that Honkai could also be affected by memory and thought, but now she had become proficient in understanding every inch of Chen Ran's skin.
Even if Chen Ran were completely unclothed, it would not faze her.
Chen Ran felt a bit embarrassed.
The reason was simple: Mobius's gaze was too intense.
According to the synchronized memories of Subject 666, interactions between 666 and Mobius were almost devoid of communication; even when they did communicate, it was primarily in the realm of biology.
But now, Mobius's eyes seemed as if she wanted to devour him.
Even though Mobius was using a scalpel, why did it feel like she was wielding a dinner knife?
Fortunately, lying in the lab was not a first for him.
Chen Ran felt as if something was injected into his body, and then his mind became hazy.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally woke up.
Mobius had already left, and Blanca was taking care of him: "You're awake."
Chen Ran nodded: "Yes, nothing happened to me, right? Like gene mutation or missing limbs?"
Blanca smiled gently: "No missing limbs, but gene mutation is hard to say."
Chen Ran's eyes widened in shock.
He heard the assistant say softly: "Dr. Mobius instructed me that for the next three months, you won't need to come to the First Research Institute, but will continue training with Team One. However, you will need to undergo a physical examination every day for data recording samples, and I will be responsible for this."
He blinked: "What did she inject me with? An ultra-variable factor?"
"I don't know, but it is said to be a counteracting Honkai memory active agent derived from your research with Mei, which seems to be able to integrate with human genes."
Chen Ran: "..."
Isn't this just the Stigmata activation agent?
He recalled the agent he made for Wendy, which was almost identical. However, he didn't have Stigmata genes, so using this agent on himself would mean...
Wait, isn't the system a special Stigmata?
And although the power of the Herrscher of Wind he obtained was simulated through the system, the essence of that power was the system itself.
So, this agent should also be effective on the system, right?
Chen Ran felt that the system's prestige had significantly diminished.
It could actually be influenced by something in reality; it was simply embarrassing.
"I understand." Chen Ran's voice sounded somewhat dejected.
…
…
After leaving the First Research Institute, Chen Ran did not rush to report to Team One but instead took a detour to the Fire Moth lounge.
Rather than a lounge, it was more like a large-scale venue for entertainment, dining, shopping, and relaxation.
Chen Ran casually found a sofa to sit on and ordered a drink.
"Hey, you look so glum. You haven't been turned into a human experiment again, have you?"
Vill-V walked over and greeted him: "Do you want me to perform a magic trick to lighten your mood?"
"Watch closely, this is a bottle of cola."
Chen Ran looked over and saw the girl holding a can of cola.
Then, she pulled the tab hard, and a paper dove flew out from inside.
"Impressive."
He couldn't help but applaud: "How did you do that?"
"Uh-huh, the content of magic cannot be revealed to the audience; otherwise, it would be boring for them." Vill-V smiled mysteriously and said, "So, how's your mood now?"
"Not bad, thanks."
"Since that's the case, help me with something." Vill-V directly stated her purpose.
Chen Ran sighed: "I knew it would be like this."
