60: Mutations

Adolph looked at Lin Tianwei, who was eating on the big screen, with some disbelief.

He never expected that Lin Tianwei would ultimately emerge victorious.

The Electric Lizard had clearly evolved to its limit.

It contained countless mutated genes.

Just analyzing them would take the Research Institute several months.

Yet, it was defeated so simply and decisively by Lin Tianwei's claws.

It became delicious food in Lin Tianwei's mouth.

Although there was some regret, Adolph had no other thoughts.

It was all the same to him who survived.

In his eyes, none of these mutated beasts, which were merely consumables, were more noble than any other.

After briefly reporting the situation, Adolph closed his eyes and began to rest.

The subsequent events were no longer his concern.

He only needed to follow the instructions from his superiors to deal with this Tiger King.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intimidating all the mutated beasts in the Beast Arena with your formidable strength. Talent: Tigers Might (Unranked) has been upgraded to Talent: Tigers Might (Basic)!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully upgrading your Talent; your strength has significantly increased."

"Tigers Might (Basic): Basic Talent, intimidates enemies with the might of a tiger!"

"Ding! Due to the Host's consumption of a large amount of mutated flesh and blood, Talent: Gene Mutation (Special) has been triggered."

"Ding! Talent: Gene Mutation (Special) has taken effect. The Host has acquired new Talents."

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring Talent: Long Tongue (Basic), Poison Claw (Basic), and Special Nerves (Basic)."

"Note: Talents acquired through the effect of Talent: Gene Mutation (Special) will be automatically selected for use."

"They will take effect after slowly transforming the Host's body."

"Long Tongue (Basic): Basic Talent, the tongue will become longer and more flexible."

"Poison Claw (Basic): Basic Talent, tiger claws will be imbued with poison."

"Special Nerves (Basic): Basic Talent, even after a limb is severed, it will still twitch violently due to nerve instinct, attracting the enemy's attention."

Lin Tianwei, who was wolfing down the Electric Lizard's flesh and blood, received the system's notifications.

Gene Mutation?

This special Talent, as expected, was uncontrollably triggered.

Especially since the Talents born from Gene Mutation could not be refused, giving Lin Tianwei a feeling of being beyond his control.

Fortunately, Lin Tianwei's luck was good.

No strange Talents had mutated.

At least, they had no impact on his combat effectiveness.

Especially Talent: Poison Claw (Basic).

Unless he encountered a mutated beast with extremely high Poison Resistance, this Talent would provide a very considerable boost to Lin Tianwei's combat effectiveness.

As for Special Nerves?

It seemed like a useless Talent, similar to a gecko's tail-dropping.

But it hid enormous potential.

Because the nerves would not die in a short time, Lin Tianwei only needed to reattach the severed limb.

He would soon recover as before.

The uncontrollable Gene Mutation not only did not stop Lin Tianwei from eating.

Instead, it made him eat even faster.

Being hungry, that truly was a path to death.

The Electric Lizard's vitality was incredibly tenacious.

It wasn't until Lin Tianwei's sharp teeth completely pierced its skull that its life finally ended.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing a new target."

"Ding! In view of the Host's cross-level kill, the quality and success rate of Talent extraction will greatly increase."

"Ding! Talent extraction successful. The Host has acquired Talent: Limb Regeneration (Intermediate), Current Release (Intermediate), and Stealth (Intermediate)."

"Ding! Please confirm whether the Host wishes to use these Talents."

"Limb Regeneration (Intermediate): Intermediate Talent, consumes a large amount of energy to regrow severed limbs."

"Current Release (Intermediate): Intermediate Talent, gains the ability to release current."

"Stealth (Intermediate): Intermediate Talent, adjusts one's body state to merge with the environment."

These three abilities were both powerful and practical, so Lin Tianwei naturally wouldn't miss them.

This showed that the Electric Lizard actually possessed terrifying hidden abilities.

However, the powerful Lin Tianwei simply didn't give it a chance to use them.

He completely turned it into his own food.

After enjoying the last bite of food, he unhesitatingly chose to use the Talents.

Once Talent: Current Release (Intermediate) was reinforced.

It also signaled that Lin Tianwei would gain the ability to break free from the Research Institute's restraints.

The seemingly terrifying device in his mind would ultimately be nothing more than a bluffing toy.

If the Ismail Institute placed its hopes on it.

At the critical moment, Lin Tianwei would definitely give them a big surprise.

Biubiubiu.

As countless powerful tranquilizer darts entered Lin Tianwei's body, he let out a big yawn.

He quickly entered a state of feigned sleep.

Before long, Lin Tianwei was carried back into his iron cage.

Into a seemingly indestructible, yet completely ineffective, iron cage.

Feeling the continuous tingling sensation emanating from his body.

Lin Tianwei was waiting, waiting for the Talent Reinforcement to complete, and for the moment he would completely break free from his restraints.

—

Who knows how much time passed.

When the tingling sensation in his body completely disappeared, Lin Tianwei also received a system notification:

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for acquiring new Talents; your combat effectiveness has significantly increased."

It was different from what Lin Tianwei had imagined.

This Talent could actually allow every cell in his body to possess the ability to release current.

Accumulating small amounts to make a large one, the stronger the body, the more terrifying the current that could be released.

Especially with the cooperation of Charged Cells, when used by Lin Tianwei, this Talent would be even more terrifying.

Without hesitation, Lin Tianwei began to use Ultrasonic Wave to probe his brain.

He quickly discovered the location of the device.

Now, the question to consider was how to perfectly shield all signals.

Faraday cage!

An answer emerged in Lin Tianwei's mind.

Given the limited conditions, it was naturally impossible to construct a similar device within his own body.

However, Lin Tianwei could interfere with the current.

By causing the correct signals to change, preventing them from triggering the device in his brain.

Under Lin Tianwei's control, the flesh and blood near the device began to conduct electricity.

Forming a current loop that surrounded the device.

Due to his very high Electricity Immunity.

This small amount of current could not harm Lin Tianwei at all.

Even in his incredibly fragile brain!

Furthermore, due to the action of Charged Cells.

Even continuously releasing current, the energy consumption was very small for him.

Unless Lin Tianwei exhausted all the energy in his body.

Otherwise, this protective net would provide Lin Tianwei with perfect twenty-four-hour protection.

When the energy was truly exhausted.

What difference would it make to Lin Tianwei whether the device in his head exploded or not?

After completing all this, Lin Tianwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

No longer constrained by others, he would have many more choices.

Next, he only needed to wait for the Ismail Institute to make its choice.

In Professor Yanos's laboratory.

Professor Yanos's face was haggard, his eyes bloodshot.

None of his previous composure and calmness remained.

In the culture tank in front of him, lay a large mass of grotesque black flesh and blood.

It was slowly pulsating, like a heart.

It looked incredibly terrifying.

It was hard to imagine that this mass of flesh and blood was actually the Black Fiend, which had been completely dead before.

The Gamma Gene was indeed miraculous, possessing unimaginably terrifying abilities.

It had actually brought the Black Fiend's flesh and blood back to life.

Even though it had been completely transformed, taking on another terrifying appearance.
