155: Chapter 155 About Gene Agents

"Three bottles of Gene Medicine have no side effects. Apart from enhancing basic bodily functions, they have no impact on existing memories, personality, preferences, or other acquired behaviors. All genetic mutations are harmless. The host may use them with confidence."

Chu Ge curled his lip upon seeing this. This meant he wasn't even allowed to complain, right?

The rest concerned the ingredient synthesis formula and related composition ratios.

"Um, I still have to ask, after injecting this stuff, I won't have to sleep for a whole day like last time, right?"

Chu Ge suddenly remembered that after injecting the gene reagents last time, he had slept for an entire day. Moreover, he remembered having a strange dream during that sleep. The dream was very realistic; even now, Chu Ge remembered it clearly, as if it were carved into his brain.

"No longer necessary. The first dose of medicine was for your body to undergo its initial transformation, so it was necessary to temporarily shut down all original bodily function signals and then perform a reboot."

"That transformation already marked the transformation path. You can understand it as your body having adapted to this gene reagents, so subsequent Gene Medicine will not force the host into a deep sleep."

"However, to ensure the gene transformation process proceeds in an orderly manner, the host should still avoid strenuous exercise. Additionally, do not have significant emotional fluctuations. Such fluctuations, especially those involving excessive hormonal spikes, can cause continuous, large-scale, complex electrical signal conduction, which could potentially drag down the entire transformation plan."

System Big Brother rambled on for a while. Chu Ge understood a bit—just keep a calm mind, right? Also, what did it mean by "excessive hormonal spikes"? Chu Ge suspected this guy was peeking at his privacy again, but he had no way to lodge a complaint.

"Reboot? Damn, do you treat me like a computer?" After processing what the system just said, Chu Ge voiced his question.

"Yes, reboot. This term might not be used entirely appropriately; for humans, it is a near-death state."

"A fake death state, you mean? How come I remember near-death states being a bit more exciting? Forget it, it doesn't matter. You might as well use the word 'reboot'; the other two feel even worse than that."

"Is that so? Apologies. Regarding Earth languages, this system has thoroughly mastered their essence after reading through them, with the sole exception of Chinese..."

Chu Ge laughed unscrupulously, thinking to himself that this was just the tip of the iceberg. Subject-verb-object was easy enough, but how could a program like you fully grasp the profoundness of the Chinese language?

Chu Ge reviewed the effects of the Intermediate Gene Medicine a few times, and slowly, his eyes began to light up.

"System Big Brother, judging by this efficacy, won't I turn into a Superman after the final gene transformation? The kind that can fly!"

"You're overthinking it. If you want to fly, you'll have to install a Nuclear Fusion Engine on your legs yourself."

"What about blocking a missile? Like that [Soul Blade] thing, blocking it head-on!"

"You're overthinking it. Even blocking a bullet would be a struggle."

"What about shapeshifting? At the very least, you could give me something like Spider-Man's abilities, like climbing walls or something?"

"You're overthinking it..."

"Uh, then what kind of crap have you been transforming me into?" Chu Ge felt a bit discouraged.

"For now, after this transformation, if you go participate in competitions for breath-holding, arm-wrestling, face-slapping, or chili-eating, you will definitely break the records!"

"For someone with strong physical fitness, the first dose of gene reagents should have actually broken these human limit records. However, because the host's body was weak, this second dose of gene reagents still hasn't managed to ensure total dominance over your peers. The third dose..."

"Alright, shut up. I'm going to rest. You said no emotional fluctuations, remember!"

"..."

After shutting System Big Brother up, Chu Ge sat on the bed and spaced out for a while. The phone next to him kept flashing, and only then did he snap out of it. He picked up the phone.

"Old classmate, the girls in the class group are all looking forward to seeing you. You aren't going to show your face?" Wang Qiang was still chatting with him, followed by a bunch of question marks.

"No, it's meaningless. By the way, Wang Qiang, this is my new mobile number. If there's anything urgent in the future, you can call me. However, I usually don't carry a phone due to the nature of my work, you know."

Chu Ge decided to give his new mobile number to his old classmate, considering it a token of respect for their friendship.

"Mm, I understand. Don't worry, I usually don't have anything going on anyway, hehe."

Chu Ge didn't reply further; he was still thinking about some issues regarding the Gene Medicine. On the other end, Wang Qiang very seriously saved Chu Ge's new number. He knew this was Chu Ge's trust in him.

"What kind of nonsense is this? Is there a breath-holding championship? How come I've never heard of it?" Chu Ge finally reacted, with a million alpacas stampeding across his heart.

He thought about it for half the night until his head hurt, and only then did he stop. "Forget it, as long as you don't turn me into something like Godzilla in the end, let everything else be."

Thinking of this, Chu Ge lay down on his side. The sounds of the two girls playing around came from Chu Xiaowu's room next door. Chu Ge curled his lip and smiled, then fell asleep peacefully.

The next day, Chu Ge woke up early. Just as he was preparing to wash up, he looked up and saw his Dilireba Nazha rubbing her eyes as she came out.

As fresh as a lotus rising from clear water, naturally beautiful without any ornamentation.

This was the first time Chu Ge had seen Dilireba Nazha without any makeup, and it was quite stunning.

Dilireba Nazha looked up and saw Chu Ge's dazed expression, then glared at him.

"What are you doing? It's early in the morning, don't think about bullying me again." Dilireba Nazha walked to his side and said softly.

"Uh, your thinking is problematic. I was just thinking that it turns out my Dilireba Nazha has a unique charm even without makeup. You're actually quite good like this, why do you still bother with makeup?"

"Hmph, only just realized! I can't help being naturally beautiful, but makeup is still necessary. If I went out like this every day, people would say I'm lazy. The saying 'a woman beautifies herself for the one who loves her' might be a bit one-sided if interpreted nowadays; for a girl, putting on makeup is also a sign of respect for others." Dilireba Nazha chatted with Chu Ge while washing up.

Chu Ge nodded. Not to mention public figures, in today's society, even ordinary girls will dress up to some extent when attending slightly formal occasions; the only difference is that some people like light makeup while others prefer heavy makeup.

After the family finished breakfast, they stayed at home. Anyway, they had endless things to talk about, so they didn't feel bored at all.

"My dad called me last night." Dilireba Nazha whispered to Chu Ge on the side.

"Oh? Calling you so late, was there something wrong?"

"No, he just asked about things between you and me, and also asked me to solemnly invite you to visit my home when you're free."

Chu Ge thought about it; it seemed like it was time to meet this future father-in-law, but he really didn't have the time right now.

"Let's wait until the New Year. It's time to go see the old gentleman. Otherwise, people will say I'm kidnapping a young woman."

"Mm, mm? Who is a 'young woman'?" Dilireba Nazha nodded, then immediately reacted and started tickling Chu Ge.

Across the room, Mother Chu watched the two whispering and being intimate, her face beaming with joy. She nudged Father Chu with her eyes, and Father Chu looked at his son and future daughter-in-law, smiling and nodding.
