102: Chapter 102 The Mad Scientist, Xia Muqing!

The woman completely ignored the fact that she had almost died.

She stared at Lin Yuan, a fanatical light flickering in her eyes.

Her first words were:

"Your genes are too perfect! Let me extract some samples! Blood, tissue, and..."

She grew more excited as she spoke:

"And germ cell samples! I need to study your genetic sequence!"

Ye Qingyue's fur stood on end instantly!

"What a crazy woman! Brother Lin Yuan saved you, and you don't even say thank you?! You even want to extract germ cells?!"

She was so angry her small face turned bright red.

She desperately wanted to rush forward and strangle this woman.

Only then did the woman react, waving her hand dismissively:

"Oh, thanks... My name is Xia Muqing. Before the Apocalypse, I was a researcher ostracized by the academic community."

Her tone was flat, showing no relief at having survived a disaster.

All her attention was on Lin Yuan.

That look in her eyes was like she was looking at a rare treasure.

Ye Qingxue said coldly, "So you hid underground to create these monsters?"

Xia Muqing's eyes were fanatical:

"Monsters? This is evolution! After the Apocalypse, I can finally conduct research without restrictions!"

She turned and pointed to the various equipment and specimens on the lab bench:

"Do you know? Those so-called experts only know how to talk! Ethics and morality are all shackles that restrict human evolution!"

Lin Yuan sized up the woman with interest.

Her hair was disheveled, her white lab coat was tattered, and there were stains on her face.

But those eyes...

Fanatical, persistent, and crazy.

This was a true scientific research maniac.

Just then, the system prompt sounded:

[Target matching the conditions for unlocking supplies detected!]

[Name: Xia Muqing]

[Age: 29 years old]

[Identity: Mad Scientist]

[Beauty Score: 96 points (Peerless Appearance)]

[Body Measurements: 92-61-93 (Perfect Curves)]

[Constitution: 85]

[Spiritual Power: 150]

[Superpower: E-rank - Data Analysis]

[Trait: Untouched]

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

96 points?

This slovenly, crazy woman actually had a beauty score of 96?

Interesting.

"Why did your laboratory attract a beast tide?"

Lin Yuan asked.

Xia Muqing immediately perked up and said excitedly:

"Follow me! I'll show you my research results!"

She led Lin Yuan and the others deeper into the laboratory.

Experimental equipment, biological specimens, and various reagents were everywhere.

The walls were covered with dense research data and genetic maps.

Xia Muqing walked to a row of reagents and introduced them like they were her precious treasures:

"Evolution Inducer, Gene Strengthening Liquid, Superpower Awakening Catalyst... these are all my research results."

She took out a bottle of pale gold liquid, her eyes full of pride:

"This is my latest development, 'Life Essence,' which can significantly increase the level of Evolved Beasts. Those beasts were attracted by this thing."

"Unfortunately, I only managed to make one bottle. If I had enough materials and equipment, I could mass-produce it."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

This woman's value was beyond imagination.

Wang Yaqin was shocked: "These things... were all researched by you alone?"

Xia Muqing sneered:

"Those so-called experts only know how to hold meetings and publish papers. True research has always been about using any means necessary."

Ye Qingyue whispered, "This woman is so arrogant..."

Just then.

Ye Qingyue suddenly stared at Xia Muqing, her eyes growing wider and wider.

"Wait... if you tidy up your hair and wash your face, wouldn't you... be very beautiful?"

As a woman.

Ye Qingyue keenly noticed some details.

Although Xia Muqing was very slovenly, her facial features...

Seemed very delicate?

Xia Muqing waved her hand impatiently:

"What's the point of appearance? It's a waste of time."

Ye Qingxue also noticed and said coldly:

"As a woman, you are truly too slovenly like this."

Lin Yuan suddenly spoke: "Go wash up, I want to see your true appearance."

His tone brooked no refusal.

Xia Muqing was stunned.

She saw the serious look in Lin Yuan's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and actually obediently went to wash up.

To this end, Wang Yaqin thoughtfully used her Superpower to give Xia Muqing a chance to bathe.

A water-type Ability User is truly useful!

About ten minutes later.

The bathroom door opened.

A woman walked out.

Everyone was stunned.

It was a suffocating beauty.

Her long hair was like a waterfall, black and shiny, draped over her shoulders.

Her skin was fair as snow, supple and delicate.

Her exquisite features seemed like a masterpiece from God.

Willow-leaf eyebrows, a fine nose, and cherry lips—every part was flawless.

The most eye-catching part was her eyes.

Cold, sharp, with an intellectual light, yet hiding a fanatical persistence.

Her figure was even more stunning.

She had changed into a clean lab coat, which outlined her perfect curves.

Her tall stature paired with that peerless face was breathtakingly beautiful.

This is what 96 points looks like?!

She was simply a peerless stunner!

Wang Yaqin was shocked: "This... this is your true self?"

Xia Muqing said nonchalantly:

"Like I said, appearance is meaningless. I am still me."

She casually tied up her hair, revealing her slender neck.

That cold, abstinent temperament, paired with her mad scientist persona...

The gap moe was through the roof.

Alarm bells rang in Ye Qingyue's heart.

This woman...

Was a formidable rival!

And a super-formidable one at that!

"Brother Lin Yuan..."

Ye Qingyue tightly hugged Lin Yuan's arm, fearing he would be charmed away by this woman.

Lin Yuan, however, was very calm.

He had seen many beauties. Although 96 points was stunning, it wasn't enough to make him lose his composure.

"Why were you ostracized by the academic community?"

Lin Yuan asked.

Xia Muqing straightened her clothes and said calmly:

"Because I proposed the 'Theory of Forced Evolution,' using drugs and genetic modification to make humans actively evolve."

A flash of pain crossed her eyes:

"Those moral hypocrites called me a lunatic, said I would create monsters, and blacklisted all my papers."

"I once had a mentor who supported my research, but he later died in an experimental accident... Since then, no one dared to support me."

She gave a bitter smile: "So I spent all my savings to build this laboratory here and persisted alone for three years."

"The day the Apocalypse arrived, I actually smiled... because finally, no one could stop my research."

At this point, Xia Muqing's gaze became even more fanatical.

But at the same time, there was also a hint of sadness.

Wang Yaqin felt pity: "A girl... how could she torture herself like this..."

Lin Yuan remained silent.

This woman...

Was crazier than he imagined, but also more tragic.

For the sake of research, she had given up everything.

She was an ostracized outlier even before the Apocalypse.

After the Apocalypse, she was finally free.

This kind of twisted life...

Was truly ironic.

Lin Yuan suddenly spoke:

"Follow me. I will give you unlimited resources and equipment to let you complete all the research you want to do."

Xia Muqing looked up abruptly, in disbelief: "You... what did you say?"

Lin Yuan said calmly: "I can provide a large amount of supplies. Whatever equipment or materials you need, I will do my best to provide them to you."

Xia Muqing's breathing quickened.

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

The next second!

Three things appeared out of thin air!

A bottle of transparent mineral water, a medicinal pill, and an unknown item!

Xia Muqing was stunned.

The next second, her pupils suddenly contracted!

As a top scientist, her vision was extremely sharp!

That bottle of mineral water...

Its transparency was extremely high, but inside, there seemed to be faint energy fluctuations circulating!

That medicinal pill...

It emitted a faint halo, a characteristic only found in certain high-energy substances!

And that special item...

Its color was incredibly pure, not looking like a chemical compound at all!

"These... these things..."

Xia Muqing reached out with a trembling hand.

She didn't taste them immediately but picked up the bottle of mineral water to observe it closely.
