Chapter 106 - Genetic Modifier
"How long will you be staying this time?" Satella asked Zhang Qin Feng while preparing his bowl of instant noodles. This time, Zhang Qin Feng came with six cans of luncheon meat. After cutting them into cubes, he splits them from a can evenly to everyone inside this living room.
"Wah! This is delicious!" Miria said. Like a glutton, she quickly finished the noodle first before slowly sipping the spicy broth.
"Here, there's something else for you all." Zhang Qin Feng smiled. Reaching his hand into the backpack again, he took six rice-mochi cakes out and gave one to each person.
"This is dessert. Make sure you chew properly before swallowing." Zhang Qin Feng chuckled and continue to enjoy the noodle with a mouthful of the spicy broth.
They were having a casual talk during the dinner, but once it ended, everyone returned to where they spend most of their time. Although something was brought up for a discussion during the meal, it wasn't essential to the point to be discussed throughout the night.
"How long will you be here for?" Satella asked as she gently caresses Zhang Qin Feng's body. From how eager she looks, it seems that she had been a thirst for his touch and attention for the previous week.
"Not too long, but I can come and go frequently. Why? Is there something you need me to do here?" Zhang Qin Feng answered her question instantly.
"There's something... But can we finish this first?" unable to keep her sanity anymore, she climbed on top of Zhang Qin Feng and proceed to do the deed. From the look of it, she was holding herself for quite a while.
The two ended up going for three rounds before Satella was filled with Qin Lan's gene. It was evident that she was exhausted mentally and physically after everything.
For the first time, Zhang Qin Feng was awake while Satella was sleeping with her head rested on his chest.
'Stein, we can talk now.' Zhang Qin Feng closed his eyes as he communicates with Stein.
[Toot... System activated]
-
[It seems that your base found an interesting relic. The chair inside the room is known as the Genetic Modifier. As long there are sufficient data, genetic modification can be done on the chair automatically]
-
[The system would like to congratulate the user for obtaining this relic. With this item in your possession, creating supersoldiers won't be a dream anymore]
'Supersoldiers? Are those serum users like me not qualified to be called as a supersoldier?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. Although it was a vague question, he was the best example from judging him now with the previous him.
[Serum-User can be said as part supersoldier. But the effectiveness of using the Genetic Modifier is different from taking the serum straight into your body and blood vessel]
[What the relic does is using the radioactive frequency to force the body to adapt to the modification. Such a method is somewhat brutal, but the effect is better than allowing the body to assimilate with the serum slowly]
'How effective is the serum if they were administered through the Genetic Modifier?' Zhang Qin Feng asked. From Stein's explanation, it was no different from the horror-genre game he played on his computer before.
Using a certain kind of Strength+ Potion will increase the Strength Status of the player's character, and Magic+ Potion will help in having more mana. But the difference between this and the game is it will come with real torture.
[Based on the Grade-H serum we have now, the effectiveness of administering it using the Genetic Modifier will be threefold]
'What? Threefold? That means two vials is equal to getting one additional point in strength straight away?' Zhang Qin Feng was surprised by the fact.
[Yes. Furthermore, Genetic Modifier does not only work on physical function but brain function as well. If the system would like to, all you need to compile some record in your world and let the system turn the information into a database]
[This database can then be uploaded into the user's mind as a part of educational purposes. But please be advised that after-effect symptoms might appear, such as nausea, vomiting, and headache. Worst come to worst, there might be a rebound due to a clash in brain function and the memory gland]
'Er... That's risky, right?' Zhang Qin Feng suddenly felt glad that he listened to Stein first before recklessly went for a trial.
[What is without risk? From the Cloning Shelter, out of half of the clones produced in there were infected. The number of failures would easily pass a 50% rate if we managed to get a detailed report from the shelter's self-sustainable database]
[And yet, the number of survivors on the surface is still considerable. Even the serum would have a 5.5% chance of getting the user infected with the Seed Crystal Virus. As for the Decrystalization Serum, there's an 11% probability that it will not work on people that recently get infected]
'...'
Zhang Qin Feng went quiet for a while after listening to Stein's explanation. Although the commonsense that was told by Stein is something he knew, Zhang Qin Feng understands that his mentality was slightly different because he's not from here.
Back in the modern world, anything with a success rate of less than 75-90% would be a risky investment.
But here in the apocalypse, a 50% survival rate out of the clones produced daily was a positive number. Even if the success rate was only 20% if they were to run a mission to subjugate the Turbine City, that is still a considerable mission.
In the end, it was just a difference in their point of view.
"Hmm... Are you not sleeping?" Satella was awake after she noticed that Zhang Qin Feng's heart is palpitating faster than before. Her head tilted as she stares at this man that 'conquered' her body.
"Something was in my mind just now. Can you tell me what happened with the Turbine City when I wasn't around?" Zhang Qin Feng put his arms around her shoulder and pulled her over on top of him.
"You're naughty..." Satella shyly replied. It seems that after what they've been through, he was still rock hard.
