Supreme Gene Master - Chapter 10

Arriving outside the laboratory, Bai Yu quickly walked towards the two soldiers under Zhang Jingyuan’s lead.

There was a huge box placed between the two soldiers. When they saw Bai Yu approaching, they made way for him.

Bai Yu went forward and was about to open it when Zhang Jingyuan stopped him. “Researcher Bai, the thing inside is called the Longevity Worm. Its genetic energy after death dissipates extremely easily. Please take precautions.”

“Longevity Worm?!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu suddenly turned around.

“This is a dimensional beast that can only be chanced upon by luck!”

“Han Ning, hurry up and open the quarantine layer. When I open the box later, cover it up with the quarantine layer!”

“Remember, you must be fast!”

Han Ning rushed forward and prepared the film.

Although he did not know what the Longevity Worm was, he could tell from Bai Yu’s reaction that it was definitely something extremely precious.

Seeing that Han Ning had already prepared the quarantine layer, Bai Yu carefully opened the cover of the box. At that instant, Bai Yu snatched the quarantine layer over and spread his hands to seal the opening!

Obviously, he was worried that Han Ning wasn’t fast enough.

Han Ning was curious and couldn’t help but look inside the box.

Inside the box lay two shriveled worms that looked like slugs from Earth.

Of course, they were already dead. Through the quarantine layer, Han Ning could clearly see that the corpses of the two worms had severely shrunk.

Even so, they were nearly two meters long.

But in reality, these two worms were killed early this morning. In Bai Yu’s words, they were still warm.

On the other side, Bai Yu wiped his hands and said happily, “Thankfully, it was delivered in time. The body didn’t completely wither and the genetic energy didn’t dissipate completely.”

Bai Yu looked at Zhang Jingyuan and said, “Alright, leave the Longevity Worm to us. I’ll complete the extraction by the afternoon.”

Zhang Jingyuan nodded. “Understood.”

However, he added, “Researcher Bai, it says that Han Ning must participate in the extraction of the Longevity Worm’s gene. You might not be able to guarantee the success rate.”

Bai Yu’s face stiffened.

“Got it, get lost!”

…

Zhang Jingyuan left with his men.

After entering the laboratory, Han Ning activated the mechanical arm and moved the Longevity Worm onto the experiment table.

Bai Yu took out a liquid used to isolate air and energy and placed the corpse of the Longevity Worm inside.

In order to prevent genetic energy and the corpse from rapidly decomposing, the master and disciple had to complete the extraction in this solution.

This time, Bai Yu was even more cautious than before.

Usually, before the experiment, the master and disciple would only carry out simple disinfection preparations. However, this time, Bai Yu specially took care of Han Ning’s cleanliness. How he wished he could peel off a layer of skin from his head to toe.

During the disinfection, Bai Yu sighed. “I didn’t expect the Sun family to value you so much. Seems like they don’t trust an old employee like me anymore.”

Han Ning smiled bitterly. It seemed like Bai Yu was jealous of Zhang Jingyuan’s words.

However, it wasn’t easy for him to reply. In fact, as a researcher, Bai Yu was indeed very capable. Han Ning could only say that his talent was suitable for this.

After this small interlude, the master and disciple started to work together to extract the Longevity Worm.

Throughout the entire process, Bai Yu was especially rigid, acting as though he was a beginner who was afraid of damaging the Longevity Worm.

Seeing this, Han Ning couldn’t help but ask, “Professor, what kind of creature is the Longevity Worm? Is it more precious than the Divine Blood Ant?”

Bai Yu replied solemnly, “Of course!”

“The Longevity Worm is the same as the Divine Blood Ant. They are both Origin-rank creatures. However, the Divine Blood Ant’s genes are of the strength type, while the Longevity Worm’s genes are of the vitality type!”

“The vitality gene not only increases lifespan, but also enhances strength, speed, and spirit at the same time. Simply put, this gene is like a life strengthening drug that can directly increase all your body’s potential!”

Han Ning finally understood.

Since ancient times, the pursuit of immortality and health has never stopped.

The genes of the vitality type could be said to have fulfilled the dreams of mankind that had been going on for thousands of years.

However, Han Ning was still puzzled. “But, Professor, is it very difficult to obtain vitality genes? In that case, how can a Dimension user gather five different types of genes?”

Bai Yu shook his head. “No, the value of vitality genes is not how rare they are, but how difficult it is to preserve them.”

“You have to understand that vitality is something that will always be lost. Living, working, and resting are all actions that actually consume vitality.”

Han Ning nodded. Of course he knew.

Bai Yu continued, “Therefore, the energy of the vitality gene will dissipate quickly after the host dies. If it is not preserved properly, it will disappear completely in the blink of an eye. Other types of genes will not be like this.”

“We still haven’t figured that out. Perhaps it’s because vitality has the characteristic of dissipation, or perhaps it’s because death and life are always in conflict.”

Han Ning completely understood.

A dimensional beast with the vitality genes should not be considered rare. However, the difficult part was the preservation of its corpse and genetic energy after killing it.

In that case, he was considered lucky to have come into contact with these things in advance.

Otherwise, if he were to kill a dimensional beast like the Longevity Worm alone in the wild in the future, he was afraid that if he was careless, the vitality genes inside would just disappear.

Subsequently, Bai Yu stopped talking and started dissecting seriously.

Because of the characteristics of the vitality gene, he did not dare to be distracted again.

But Han Ning was not nervous.

After many experiments, Han Ning had learned to be smart. Now, he was no longer waiting for the corpse to be dissected before touching the target for gene extraction. Instead, he was already secretly touching the complete corpse.

Therefore, he had already made contact with the Longevity Worm while Bai Yu was preparing the equipment.

As usual, Han Ning successfully extracted the genes from the Longevity Worm.

This time, Han Ning actually extracted four points of genes!

Usually, he could only extract a little.

With some excitement, Han Ning couldn’t help but recall the notes of his talent.

The efficiency of extracting genes was related to his understanding of Dimension and the level of the corpses. The minimum point he could extract was one!

“It seems that learning from Professor recently has improved my understanding of Dimension in all areas. Also, the true level of the Longevity Worm should be higher than that of the Divine Blood Ant. This allowed me to break through the minimum requirement for extraction.”

Thinking about this, Han Ning suppressed the excitement in his heart and stored most of the genes into his personal status as usual.

At the last step of extraction, Han Ning thought for a while and transferred 0.04 gene points into the test tube.

Initially, Han Ning only wanted to part with 0.02.

However, on second thought, he had already obtained the two genes of the Divine Blood Ant and the Longevity Worm. It was time for him to consider obtaining some personal space to fuse the genes.

Because of this, he had to let the Sun family taste more benefits.

Only then would he have enough confidence to fight for some personal space for himself..
