Crack!
With a crisp snap, the pitch-black bird circling overhead exploded. Fragments of flesh and feathers rained down from the sky.
Feng Qi retracted his right hand, which he had formed into a spear shape, and withdrew his psychokinesis.
The bird had been circling above him the entire way to the Scarlet Secret Base, emitting a piercing screech. He had endured it for a long time.
But instead of leaving, the bird had only become more aggressive, even attempting to drop something on his head.
Since the enemy had fired the first shot, Feng Qi saw no reason to hold back. He responded with a psychokinesis blast as a fitting reply.
Killing the domain-derived bird earned him only one bloodline evolution point, but it was better than nothing.
After this brief interruption, he continued his journey.
Walking through the dilapidated streets, his gaze constantly scanned his surroundings.
The broken pavement ahead still bore the slimy residue left by some creature's passage, while twisted, spiderweb-like vines had completely covered the nearby buildings.
In these areas, the plants had completely merged with the city's architecture.
If not for these plants' support, most of the buildings in the abandoned city would have collapsed long ago.
Following the direction etched in his memory, he walked for a while before climbing a thirty-meter-tall building.
Standing at the top, he gazed westward.
He saw Little Black, shrouded in a hazy black mist, rapidly approaching from the direction of the desolate burial ground.
Once he confirmed Little Black's current location, he leaped directly from the rooftop.
Before his feet hit the ground, he used psychokinesis to cushion his fall, landing smoothly.
Without wasting a moment, he immediately set off toward the Scarlet Secret Base.
He was filled with anticipation for the "gift" Wei Wei had mentioned.
His innate ability was one thing, but more importantly, he was only a hundred or so bloodline evolution points away from meeting the requirements for evolution.
The Big Spicy Lobster Wei Wei had left him last time had earned him 273 bloodline evolution points.
Even if the domain-derived creature she had left this time was inferior, it should still provide him with at least 100 bloodline evolution points.
Perhaps this could restore her to a normal appearance.
Then, if he chose to confront the Technology Research Institute's Future Line, he could contact the Future People and gather more useful intelligence.
After several hours of travel, he reached the abandoned hospital district.
This time, Suction Cup wasn't perched on the hospital roof, gazing at the moon.
Feng Qi stepped inside the abandoned hospital, beginning his search for Great Protector Suction Cup.
At the end of the left corridor, Suction Cup is right there!
Hearing the Narrator's reminder, he immediately turned and entered the left corridor.
From a distance, he saw Suction Cup crouched on the ground, expressionlessly munching on weeds.
As if sensing his presence, Suction Cup abruptly turned her head and stared at him. A faint starlight flickered in her gray-white eyes.
Hug!
As the Narrator's words faded, Suction Cup leaped to her feet and lunged straight at him.
Feng Qi grinned and spread his arms, catching the charging Suction Cup.
Automatic Combat Adhesion Weapon "Suction Cup" loaded. Thrower Feng Qi loaded. The Narrator's combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.
Feng Qi: ...
"Get to work," he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Following the Narrator's instructions, he arrived at the overgrown area of the abandoned hospital.
He pushed aside the weeds and smashed through the floorboards, revealing the secret door to the Scarlet Research Institute's Secret Base.
After dripping blood into the mechanism, the secret door slowly opened, accompanied by a synthesized electronic voice.
"Feng Qi, welcome home. The secret door will automatically close after you enter."
Hearing the prompt, he paused in surprise before stepping into the passage.
As the secret door slowly closed behind him, he noticed that it was more than twice as thick as before. These subtle changes were clearly intentional on the part of the Scarlet Research Institute.
They knew he would be pursued by little black after entering the Dream Realm.
Therefore, they had set the secret door to close automatically and thickened it to better withstand little black, buying him precious time.
A warm current flowed through his heart.
It felt good to have companions!
Following the corridor to its end, the scene suddenly opened up.
Before him lay the underground plaza of the Scarlet Secret Base.
One by one, large lamps above the plaza illuminated, forming a starry sky map. In the center, the twinkling starlight coalesced into eight characters:
Against the current, we shall reach the other shore.
Whoa, it seems that in this Future Line, even after the Anti-Infiltration Plan failed, the new direction of the future still revolves around you. Many things here are prepared specifically for you.
He nodded and walked toward the elevator at the far end of the plaza.
The underground plaza primarily served as storage for daily necessities and various experimental instruments. The crucial information he sought, along with Wei Wei's "gift," must be on the second underground level.
Reaching the elevator entrance, he pressed the down button. A green light shot out from above, scanning him back and forth.
A synthesized voice then announced:
"Welcome home, Feng Qi!"
As the metal door slowly rose, he stepped into the elevator.
After a few seconds of waiting, the elevator doors opened.
Not far ahead stood the Database Control Console of the Scarlet Secret Base, with two large, divided screens in front of it.
He walked over to the control console, wiped away the thick layer of dust, and pressed the start button.
As the machine roared to life, the screen of the data control console flickered to life.
He opened the search bar and typed in "Wei Wei."
Wei Wei's message box immediately appeared, filled with messages, videos, and attached documents.
Curiosity piqued, he began to browse the contents.
The first pinned message was a video attachment.
When he opened it, the screen displayed Wei Wei wearing glasses and a bunny pajama set. She looked languidly at the camera and said:
"You little rascal, if you're watching this video, you must have already arrived at the base,"
"The email contains all the messages I left for you. Our cross-temporal conversation officially begins."
1. Six years after your death, the second year after Lin Ran released Flesh and Blood Sacrifice, we could no longer withstand the all-out suppression from the Technology Research Institute. So, we simply moved to the Scarlet Secret Base and went into seclusion. From now on, Wei Wei will be a proud underground party magical girl warrior!
2. You said the Anti-Infiltration Plan would inevitably fail, but we refused to give up. After all, no one willingly accepts fate's decree.
We decided to proceed with the plan, but all the warriors sent to the dark world lost contact with us.
I saw the end of this plan from the start, just as you predicted—it was destined to fail.
3. Are you curious about the gift I left for you?
Actually, when I told you I had left a gift here, I hadn't even started making it. I'd only made preliminary plans.
Hahaha, it was like giving you a blank check in advance.
5. Everything is fine at the base, but for security reasons, we can't connect to the outside world. That means I can't leave you messages in your inbox anymore. I'll have to tell you everything when you arrive.
You said we needed the crystal stone from Mu Qing's body to clone Xiao Mu Qing successfully, but I refused to give up.
That's just how I am—stubborn, inflexible, and obstinate, yet beautiful and wise—a true female geneticist.
I realized we share a similar trait: once we've made up our minds, we won't turn back until we hit a wall.
Even knowing the outcome is likely failure, we still refuse to give up.
Knowing you as I do, I'd guess that before little black kills you in every Dream Realm future, you put up a desperate struggle.
Hahahaha, no way, did I actually guess right?
That terrifying old woman! She saw right through you. She's practically a prophet.
Feng Qi: ...
He continued reading.
8. Let me give you a hint about the gift I've prepared for you.
The rune augment project has made significant progress in human experimentation, but research on implanting rune crystals into other animals is still in its infancy, with almost no foundation.
Your ability is to kill domain creatures and absorb their innate abilities.
Therefore, I plan to customize a useful innate ability for you to help you grow stronger.
Information is crucial, but when everything comes to light, strength will be equally important. You can't neglect improving your own power.
You mentioned that in the previous Future Line, you raised Big Spicy Lobsters, which significantly boosted your strength.
This time, I've chosen a different creature.
You said the Narrator wants you to pursue body cultivation, and in your future dream, you have no flesh, only a skeleton... After careful consideration, I've decided to raise Scaly-Foot Snails this time.
These snails live deep in the ocean.
Their shells have three layers, primarily composed of sulfur iron, making them incredibly tough. They can withstand swords, axes, and even rifle bullets without a scratch. They were even used as a reference by the early military department when researching armor and helmets.
They are undoubtedly among the creatures with the hardest bones in nature.
If you can acquire their innate ability, you'll gain iron bones. Combined with your self-healing ability, your close-combat prowess will skyrocket.
Close combat is the true romance of a real man.
"I said that in the Future Line, not as I am now. You know people change. My thoughts in the future will inevitably differ from my current ones due to changes in my circumstances."
"For instance, in this Future Line, my future self has clearly deviated from my plans."
Feng Qi's explanation was met with an immediate response from the Narrator:
He Tui~!
11. Rune Crystal Embedding Fails Again
This damn snail is just too small. The process of embedding rune crystals is incredibly error-prone, requiring experiments to be conducted using rune crystals from smaller domain creatures.
After careful selection, I chose the Silvertooth Rat, whose rune crystals are relatively small.
But for the Scaly-Foot Snail, the crystal already takes up nearly a third of its body. Successfully embedding it is no easy feat.
13. Dozens of them have already died, and it's infuriating! I made a plate of stir-fried snails... and it smelled absolutely divine.
Spiritual energy-nourished snails are like snails, you can suck out their tender pink meat in one big gulp.
No, I need to have the captain of Combat Team Three get me some more. I'll just say it's for experiments, hehe.
15. When it comes to innate ability, Wei Wei truly is the chosen one.
The rune crystal has been successfully embedded.
Little Snail is currently merging with the rune crystal, and its life force is steadily increasing.
Hahaha, how can this beautiful woman be so amazing?
Suddenly, I realized that Little Snail, now embedded with the rune crystal, should taste even better.
Thinking about it made me hungry... Never mind, I'll leave it for you.
By then, you'll be a living dead with a body of steel. Remember to thank me. If you ever find my grave in the future, remember to light an incense stick and kowtow a few times in gratitude.
"Narrator, is Wei Wei your relative?"
I have only one relative, and that's you, Qi Zai.
Feng Qi: ...
TL/N: Zai is an affectionate suffix used to refer to your young kin such as children.
19. Latest news: Liu Yue has fallen in battle.
He led his subordinates in repeated ambushes against Tiger Soul Research Institute's branch bases, but eventually, they slipped up. Surrounded by several Top Domain Battle Groups under the institute's command, they had nowhere to retreat and were forced to fight to the death.
In the end, Liu Yue and his subordinates were wiped out, but the domain combat teams suffered nearly half their casualties.
Liu Yue's death is such a pity.
That kid was a true hothead. I don't know how you taught him, but he was incredibly stubborn.
Scarlet Research Institute had planned to recruit him as the captain of Combat Team Eight, but he refused, saying he'd rather die in battle than hide underground. He insisted that death in combat was a warrior's true destiny.
If I were there, I'd have spat on him.
Did he act so tough around you too? Even on the verge of death, he was still trying to look cool. Someone like him is completely unsuited to be a leader. Next time, we should choose someone else to lead the Dawn Organization in the Future Line.
Actually, I think you'd be perfect for the role.
I won't comment on your other talents—you already know what you're capable of.
But I'm certain you're suited to be a leader.
Strong will, effective action, charisma, clear goals... I see all the qualities of a leader in you.
Even after your death, those around you will remember you clearly.
Huixu, in particular, underwent a profound enlightenment after your passing. His life trajectory shifted, and he was no longer the monk who had merely drifted through life.
Even while you were alive, you consistently influenced them.
What truly matters in a leader isn't their personal strength, but the significance of their presence to those around them.
Like the wind adding brilliance to summer flowers, or rain nurturing seeds to sprout life... Your ability to make those around you better is enough to qualify you as an excellent leader.
32. A headache.
The Scaly-Foot Snail's lifespan isn't as long as a lobster's. Even with a safe environment, it won't live for centuries.
So, I must find a way to address its longevity.
33. During today's meeting, I mentioned the "little snail" issue while brainstorming ideas. I received a promising suggestion.
I don't necessarily need the little snail to live for centuries. I could simply have it reproduce, using reproduction to bridge the gap until your arrival.
By the time Little Snail dies, its descendants will surely still be alive.
But this approach presents a major headache: resources.
I'm not talking about the base running out of resources from raising a large population of Little Snails. Unlike Mala, whose size constantly increases during growth, Little Snails don't have a terrifying appetite.
The problem is that while we're alive, Little Snail's reproduction can be kept under control. But after we die, it will spiral out of control.
Our remaining energy might be consumed by Little Snail's descendants before you arrive, and they'll starve to death in the days that follow due to lack of food.
No, I must find a solution.
35. Hahaha, how could this beauty be so brilliant? I've come up with a brilliant plan:
Build a "Little Snail Hunter."
Here's how it works:
Install a life detection system in the Little Snail breeding compartments. Whenever the Little Snail population exceeds a certain threshold, weapons will extend from the ceiling to eliminate the excess, ensuring the population never spirals out of control.
Little snails reproduce asexually, so there's no need to worry about gender imbalances or disrupting reproductive balance when culling them.
#69: My mental state is crumbling.
I discovered that after the little snails were implanted with rune crystals, they lost their ability to reproduce.
It seems that the rune crystal modification also altered their genetic sequence, rendering them sterile.
I need to find a way to fix this.
#123: I've restructured the little snails' genetic sequence, which solved the sterility issue. But now a new problem has emerged: they have no desire to reproduce.
So, I need to develop something that stimulates their reproductive drive.
This is too difficult. Here I am, the Head of the Genetics Department at the Scarlet Research Institute, spending my days pondering the reproductive habits of snails. F*ck.
#167: Xiao Kai from the Chemistry Department has passed away. I'm suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.
I still vividly remember his first day at the Scarlet Research Institute, his face flushed with shyness and uncertainty.
I witnessed his growth firsthand, watching him transform from a timid young boy into a capable Chemistry Department head, and finally, into an old man with white hair...
But even he couldn't escape the ravages of time. With the blessings of everyone at the base, he departed this world.
Perhaps I'll reach that day too, someday.
After all, I'm merely long-lived, not immortal.
It's not death I fear, but the decay of my youthful appearance.
203. Recently, soldiers returning from an expedition brought back a group of orphaned street children into the base.
After thorough examination confirmed they posed no threat, it was decided to cultivate them.
These little brats might one day become the pillars of the Scarlet Research Institute.
The old guard of Scarlet People can't hold on much longer. They've dedicated their entire lives to research, never even finding time for romance.
Moreover, the gender imbalance within the base makes it impossible to sustain the population. Accepting fresh blood is the only option.
Ah, time flies. No one can escape its judgment.
Only you, my wide-eyed little brother, can traverse timelines, manipulate time, and even rot into a living dead without dying.
208. I've finally finished your gift.
I left it in Room 201—eight little snails. Don't worry about being unable to defeat them; they're not strong.
My next research focus is your "Brain in a Vat" project.
This is undoubtedly the most challenging problem I've ever encountered.
Neurons can survive outside the body if provided with the right conditions. Any cell culture lab has the equipment to maintain their viability.
However, the brain is more than just a collection of neurons. It's an incredibly complex and fragile system. Replicating its oxygen supply, blood flow, and countless regulatory molecules perfectly in an artificial system is nearly impossible.
Current ex vivo brain cultures are always destructive experiments. When removing the brain, we use hypothermia to minimize hypoxic damage to the neurons. Even then, I can only guarantee the specimen's physiological activity, not its complete functionality.
This is so difficult.
Wei Wei, you can do it!
213. We're already working on the storage container, with other departments collaborating on the project.
I'll continue my experiments on cell viability... I want you to memorize all these techniques.
Otherwise, we'll have to rediscover them in every timeline, what a waste.
If the Brain in a Vat Project is perfected, each time you traverse a Future Line will be like reincarnation in Buddhism—a reincarnation with memories intact. Through repeated accumulation of memories, even a fool could become a genius.
Think about it—aren't you a little excited?
But you'll definitely suffer. You'll have to relive the pain your future self has already endured.
Witnessing a dear friend's death, facing despair and helplessness... If you're truly determined to carry out the Brain in a Vat Project, I hope you're mentally prepared.
#273: Today I noticed crow's feet. That same day, I gave myself a gene needle injection. The results were remarkable—the wrinkles vanished! I'm a beautiful girl again, hahaha!
#293: The construction of the container is complete.
Detailed information has been recorded in the database. When the time comes, search for "Brain in a Vat" to retrieve the relevant data. Remember to take it with you—we don't want to repeat our research. For the next Future Line, let's try something new.
Perhaps a breakthrough in biological sciences could even save the world.
#332: It's no use. The gene needle's effects are weakening.
My skin is gradually sagging, and my beautiful face is aging... If that old hag Mu Yao has a conscience, she'll extend my lifespan. Please, I beg you.
The feeling of watching myself grow old bit by bit is too agonizing.
343. Last night, I had a dream. The deity was sitting by my bedside, silently staring at me.
Then it told me it was time to depart.
I grabbed the curling iron next to my bed and gave it a heavy blow to its head... Anyway, I ended up chasing it away, hehe.
We don't have deities like that in the Eastern District. This guy must have taken a wrong turn.
I hope the next time it's not the Black and White Impermanence.
It would be hard to strike them. I'm afraid they'd make things difficult for me after I die, seeking revenge.
372. Lately, I've been having recurring dreams, all related to death.
This time, I found myself at the station leading to the Road to the Underworld.
A train slowly pulled in. Through the windows, I saw it filled with deceased friends, relatives, and students, all smiling at me.
This wasn't death at all; it was a reunion.
Without hesitation, this beautiful woman boarded the train.
When I woke up, I realized it was just a dream, and the heaviness in my heart vanished instantly.
Suddenly, I realized I had let go. I could face death with equanimity.
I've lived too long, and I'm truly lonely.
I've watched everyone around me grow old and die, while I remain.
There's no one left to share memories of the past with.
384. You mentioned a Future Line where, on the brink of death, I chose to see the world outside.
Hey, that's a great idea!
I'll go back to my hometown, brew a pot of tea, and watch the sunrise and sunset from under the old locust tree in my yard. Then, under the moonlight, I'll have a beer and barbecue. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
This is too wonderful! I'll apply for leave right away.
401. As our parting draws near, my heart is filled with emotion.
You can travel through the future multiple times, but you're still just a kid. There will inevitably be moments of confusion and disappointment.
You might even doubt your own abilities.
But what does it matter if you're not perfect? Everything has cracks—that's where the light shines through.
At least in my eyes, you're extraordinary.
So keep moving forward. Don't give up.
Farewell to the past, and welcome the surprises of the future. You should be a towering mountain, not a blade of grass.
May you always look forward to the future with hope.
Little Brother Feng Qi, go for it!
403. This is probably my last message.
Your Sister Wei finally got her leave approved! My student will take over my position, and I have full confidence in his abilities.
After a lifetime of hard work, I can finally take a proper vacation.
From now on, I belong only to myself.
Hahahaha! Just thinking about it makes me so happy. I'll pack my bags and leave soon.
This is my final farewell to you.
I wish you the day you usher in the glorious era you've always dreamed of.
A world of splendor awaits you there, with everything you could ever desire—except an ending.
—Wei Wei, the Invincible Super-Beauty of the Universe.
After reading the message Wei Wei had left for him, a smile spread across Feng Qi's face.
In those words, he saw Wei Wei finally freed from self-torment, choosing to face death with acceptance.
Her anxiety had transformed into a blessing for him before their parting.
"Sister Wei, thank you," he murmured.
Glancing at the time, he headed straight for the elevator.
Little Black was almost there, and he couldn't let him fight Suction Cup on the second basement level.
He needed to wait for Little Black on the first floor.
Arriving on the first floor, he began his vigil.
About ten minutes later, Little Black's form materialized, hurtling toward him at incredible speed.
Through the hazy mist, he could clearly see a rune crystal flashing within.
Glancing at the sleeping Suction Cup, Feng Qi reached out to ruffle her small head, then suddenly flung her toward Little Black with all his might.
Next time, for sure!
Ignoring the Narrator's sarcastic comment, he turned and pressed the elevator button.
With a green light sweeping over it, the elevator doors slid open.
Returning to the second basement level, he headed straight for Room 201.
There, Wei Wei had prepared a "little snail" for him. Killing it had a high chance of granting an innate ability related to bone density enhancement.
Reaching Room 201, he passed the identity verification, and the door retracted into the wall to the right.
Before him lay a vast space, as large as a soccer field.
Beyond a central aisle, the interior was divided into separate domains by specially treated glass. Each domain contained the decaying remains of various animals, and the air was thick with the stench of decay.
The domain test subjects had clearly perished from the ravages of time or starvation.
The only survivors were eight little snails, housed in a domain simulating the high-pressure environment of the deep sea.
Reaching the transparent glass door of the little snails' domain, he activated the electronic screen.
Immediately, a green beam of light scanned the pool from the ceiling, and information about the little snails appeared.
Little Snail (Phylum Mollusca, Class Gastropoda, Order Stylommatophora)
Data Characteristics (Real-Time Update):
Appearance: Possesses two tentacles on its head, lacks eyes, and has no specialized mating organs. Its red foot is large and cannot fully retract into its shell. Before modification, it lived over 2,000 meters below the sea surface, commonly found near hydrothermal vents.
Rune Modification Progress: Rune crystal implanted from a Silvertooth Rat, occupying 37% of its body area.
Fusion compatibility: 43.223%.
Body enhancement: 824%.
Crystal Compatibility Rating: Medium.
Offspring Crystal Compatibility: 98%.
Crystal Compatibility Rating: Extremely High.
Lineage: 132nd generation * Weight: 1.3 kg ~ 1.5 kg
After reviewing the information, Feng Qi pressed the activation button and stepped into the isolation chamber.
Approaching the pool, he found its bottom littered with numerous energy crystals, drained dry and now transparent.
After a quick scan, he moved to the left side of the pool and pressed the drain button.
The water level in the pool began to visibly drop.
Suddenly, a water arrow shot out from the pool, striking him before he could react.
Caught off guard, Feng Qi was drenched from head to toe and stumbled back a step from the impact.
This is the essence of "he~tui"! Coach, I want to learn this!
Ignoring the Narrator's sarcastic comment, he turned back to the pool.
Several more water arrows pierced the surface, hurtling towards him from the depths.
Psychokinesis surged from his body, shattering each arrow one by one.
Before the pool could completely drain, he retreated several steps, creating distance between himself and the water.
As he waited, the pool dried.
Returning to the edge, he peered inside and saw eight snails, each about the size of a baby's fist, slowly crawling around.
Killing them by brute force would be a painful experience.
Even before rune modification, the Scaly-Foot Snail's shell could withstand rifle bullets. Trying to smash it with his fist would just be asking for trouble.
[You could try biting it. Don't forget your teeth are enhanced special weapons. This is the perfect opportunity to put them to use.]
"No need. I have psychokinesis."
Rolling his eyes, he reached out and clenched his fist toward one of the little snails. Invisible psychokinetic energy surged from his body, instantly wrapping around the snail's head. With a sharp tug, he ripped its body apart.
Under the psychokinetic restraint, the little snail didn't even have time to react before its body was severed.
A cloud of blood mist emerged from the slain snail, swirling toward Feng Qi and seeping into his body.
Immediately, he felt a warm current surging within him, which lasted for several seconds before dissipating.
He opened his status panel and saw that the little snail had granted him 32 bloodline evolution points.
At the same time, he gained a new prefix title and innate ability:
Steel Bones LV1 (Upgradable Prefix Title): Increases bone density by 30%. This effect can be further enhanced as the innate ability level increases.
Feng Qi was delighted to have gained a brand-new innate ability and turned his attention to the remaining seven little snails.
Sensing danger, they had all retreated into their shells.
But this defensive posture seemed far too easy to penetrate.
He released his psychokinesis once more, letting it seep through the gaps in their shells and easily killing them one by one from within.
After absorbing the seven blood mists, Feng Qi felt a powerful reaction in his body.
His temperature rapidly soared, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Killing the eight little snails had earned him 225 bloodline evolution points.
His total bloodline evolution points now stood at (1077/1000), satisfying the requirements for his first bloodline evolution.
He realized his bloodline evolution was about to begin.
[The long-awaited second form of the Big Muscle Tyrant is about to debut! Let's watch with bated breath!]
"Shut up! I'm evolving into a human!"
[The Big Muscle Tyrant: A Dominating, Fierce Man!]
"Human!"
Once he had resolved all the hidden dangers hindering human development, he would inevitably need to contact the Future People in the Dream Realm.
His living dead form would then become an obstacle to that contact.
Feng Qi was filled with anticipation for this evolution.
