39: Keep on shedding wool

Mercy?

Pity?

It was merely to satisfy his own pathetic sympathy.

Lin Tianwei had no perception of Hector's actions.

Just as he had said.

His seemingly “extremely fatal” wounds.

This amount of medicine simply couldn't resolve them.

The reason he did it was perhaps just Hector's self-righteous act of great compassion.

As the familiar door closed, the space Lin Tianwei was in once again plunged into darkness.

Use!

Taking advantage of the rest, Lin Tianwei used the two Talents he had previously acquired.

Reinforcement, such a thing, was best done secretly.

Moreover, if he directly Reinforced his teeth and Claws, it might affect his eating.

That would truly be more loss than gain.

As the Reinforcement began, Lin Tianwei felt a similar tingling sensation in his teeth and tiger paws.

It was as if some magical power was stimulating his cells.

Then transmitting that power to his teeth and Claws...

“Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the Reinforcement, gaining more powerful strength.”

“Ding, congratulations to the host's Talent: Claws (Common) and Talent: Tiger Paw Reinforcement (Unranked) have merged, becoming even stronger.”

Upon Awakening, Lin Tianwei immediately felt the difference in himself.

An unusual itch spread through his gums and tiger paws.

It made him eager to do something to test his new strength.

However, he ultimately held back.

The difference between beasts and humans lies in the fact that humans can control their desires well.

He lowered his head.

Gently biting his own tiger paw.

Lin Tianwei found that the originally thick tiger skin could not withstand the gnawing of his teeth.

The skin was easily broken.

Clearly, Lin Tianwei's teeth had been Reinforced.

However, he was clearly not satisfied with this level of Reinforcement.

The Reinforced teeth were strong, but not strong enough.

At the very least, they were far too weak compared to the Sword Lion's saber teeth.

It was his original teeth that limited the full potential of this Talent.

A sudden realization dawned on Lin Tianwei.

To verify this conjecture, he even extended his Claws and scratched the iron cage.

As expected, his Claws had indeed been Reinforced, but they were still not strong enough.

After a moment of hesitation, a fierce glint appeared in Lin Tianwei's eyes.

He opened his mouth wide and bit down hard on his own Claw.

The Reinforcement level of his teeth was, after all, higher than that of his Claws.

With this bite, the Claw was immediately bitten off at the root.

Then it was chewed into pieces and swallowed directly into his stomach.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Lin Tianwei's actions seemed horrifying, but in reality, they were similar to a human clipping their nails.

It was just clipping nails, but clipping off the entire nail plate.

He believed that he would soon grow new Claws, stronger Claws.

At that time, his lethality would also undergo a qualitative evolution.

As for his teeth?

Lin Tianwei naturally planned to pull them out and allow them to regenerate.

However, having already lost his Claws, he couldn't afford to lose his teeth as well.

He could only consider replacing his teeth after his Claws had grown back.

After a long period of sleep.

The flesh Lin Tianwei had eaten had also transformed into energy, stored by the cells in his body.

With abundant energy once again, he set his sights on his good neighbors.

As the Ultrasonic Wave was released again, Lin Tianwei found that his neighbors had been replaced.

They had been replaced with a batch of more tender and delicious food.

It seemed that the deaths of these mutated beasts had been discovered.

However, the other party did not seem to intend to pursue the matter, merely replacing them with new mutated beasts.

After all, the genes of these mutated beasts were inherently unstable, and sudden death was a very normal occurrence.

As for the abnormality in the brain region?

If humans were willing to waste resources on inspection, they would naturally be able to discover it.

However, they would absolutely not find Lin Tianwei, the culprit.

After all, there were so many mutated beasts here.

Who would know which mutated beast possessed such a magical ability?

Of course, to be safe, Lin Tianwei did not intend to “shear the wool” nearby.

Previously, the level of the Ultrasonic Wave was insufficient, leaving him with no other option.

Now he could attack more distant and powerful mutated beasts.

So this time, he intended to randomly select victims.

Or perhaps seek out opponents who might possess powerful Talents.

After all, the case of the giant rat was still vivid in his memory.

Even these not-so-powerful mutated beasts could potentially yield powerful Talents.

Soon, Lin Tianwei found his first target.

It was a bird, not particularly large in size.

It stood out among the fierce giant beasts.

Its species was unknown, but it was highly likely to yield a Talent that interested Lin Tianwei.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei directly planned a route and launched an Ultrasonic Wave attack against it.

The terrifying Ultrasonic Wave bypassed obstacles, following Lin Tianwei's planned route, and instantly reached the target's location.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for killing a new target.”

“Ding, Talent extraction successful, host has acquired the Talent: Fast Digestion (Common).”

“Ding, please confirm whether the host wishes to use this Talent.”

“Fast Digestion (Common): Common-grade Talent, powerful stomach acid can increase the host's speed of digesting food.”

Fast Digestion!

Lin Tianwei's eyes lit up; he had finally shed his “African” bloodline and achieved his heart's desire.

The reason he wanted to hunt this bird was precisely for this powerful Talent.

Few people knew that birds actually had the fastest digestion speed among animals.

To provide the energy that allowed them to fly, they were either flying or on their way to forage.

At the same time, to reduce their own weight, they even evolved to lose their largely useless rectum.

While reducing their body weight, they could also excrete their feces as quickly as possible.

Such a powerful Talent, Lin Tianwei naturally intended to use it.

It was just a pity that this Talent came a little too late, wasting the flesh on the Sword Lion.

But it didn't matter.

Next time, Lin Tianwei would absolutely devour all the food that belonged to him.

The most important thing at hand was to continue “shearing the wool” from the Research Institute.

To hunt more powerful mutated beasts and acquire more powerful Talents!

While Lin Tianwei was “shearing the wool,” a discussion centered around him was also unfolding.

: “The last battle had a strong impact, and we received a large number of rewards.”

“I suggest we continue to send out this Siberian Tiger from the West District to have another bloody and visceral battle with the mutated beasts from the East District!”

: “That might not be a good idea; he just suffered severe injuries and hasn't had time to recover.”

“Sending him into battle now would be tantamount to sending him to his death.”

“I think waiting for him to recover and continuing to ‘shear his wool’ is the best option.”

: “Wait for him to recover? He needs to be able to recover first.”

“Such severe injuries leave no hope of recovery.”

“That's why we should send him up to die, to let him contribute his last bit of strength to our Research Institute before he dies.”

“This is also his honor!”

: “...”

: “Since Professor Alos entrusted him to us, he should be at our disposal.”

“I am merely making the most beneficial choice for our Research Institute; you should not, and have no need to, obstruct it.”

: “...”

As a sigh sounded, a voice said helplessly, “Alright, then that's how it will be.”

Lin Tianwei probably never imagined that while he was “shearing the Research Institute's wool,” the Research Institute was also preparing to “shear his wool.”

He was about to face his next battle!
