I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1396 - 992: This Kid Looks Really Smart

"This is absolutely amazing!" Ahn Ke exclaimed sincerely, noting that the physique of the glittering crystal beings was exceptionally good at resisting mutations. This meant she could derive antimutagenic drugs from it.

Such drugs don’t necessarily have to be applied directly to humans; they can also be used in other areas of research. For instance, when creating certain genetic modification serums, the absence of this substance would result in a high mutation rate.

With this substance, however, the probability of mutations can be suppressed.

As for those bodies that did not belong to glittering crystal beings, after Ahn Ke studied them, she discovered that these bodies had stronger adaptability, yet they similarly lacked the unique mutation resistance of the glittering crystal beings.

This was both good and bad.

The benefit was that these non-glittering crystal human bodies could adapt better to environmental changes and would not be eliminated by the environment. The downside was that their too-potent adaptability brought instability, making it difficult for them to resist unforeseen factors.

Lacking mutation resistance, they indeed adapted to numerous environmental changes, but they could forget about evolving into a powerful civilization like the glittering crystal beings.

Of course, these non-glittering crystal humans indeed survived by adapting to the world’s environmental changes, while the glittering crystal beings could only shrink back within shelters to barely survive.

If this situation isn’t changed, it would be difficult for them to create new civilizations, and according to Ahn Ke’s research, the human bodies in different regions of that world also had diverse physical differences.

"This truly is splendid, why had I never encountered such a world before?" Ahn Ke pondered regrettably while looking at the results yielded in such a short time.

It wasn’t just her. Even the researchers, who were her assistants in this research project, were greatly inspired; ever since their director found a man, this place consistently produced numerous novel research materials.

Those research materials were not only unique but also particularly dangerous, which was why they relished these dangerous research materials.

This time the research material wasn’t as dangerous, yet it was constantly changing; just one corpse could yield a large amount of useful genes.

In other research institutes, a corpse used here for research could easily give rise to numerous new project studies if taken out.

But here... it was more ordinary.

The main target of these studies was the ongoing Celestial Being’s Serum project, which was truly a formidable thing.

From these genes, they could find parts suitable for improving the Celestial Being’s Serum, and that mutation resistance characteristic would significantly mitigate some of the side effects of the Celestial Being’s Serum.

"Fantastic! Director, if you plan to go anywhere else, could you take me along?" A female researcher with a ponytail looked at Ahn Ke with fervent admiration.

"Sure." Ahn Ke glanced at this researcher, recognizing her as a madwoman, similar to herself but lacking self-restraint.

Research can be mad, cold-hearted, and cruel, but one must still have certain necessary boundaries.

These boundaries aren’t to ensure a lower limit but to ensure that one doesn’t entirely lose rationality.

She maintained a healthy routine to ensure her physical health and to uphold these boundaries and rationality.

Thus, in terms of ’Inch Restraint,’ she was very skillful. A strong research desire was acceptable, but how strong and how much energy she had to invest was up to her.

This researcher wasn’t capable of reaching this level.

Judging from her external state, she hadn’t had proper rest for at least half a month, and her good mental condition was purely due to medication maintaining her.

Ahn Ke rarely interfered with what her subordinates did, as long as they completed the daily tasks, they could work overtime or learn from her afterward.

Some researchers treated research as work while others were genuinely passionate and devoted to it, with excessive dedication leading to madness within the researchers, be they male or female.

Those who could join her core research circle typically either had these issues or had far superior talent.

"That’s wonderful! Thank you!!" The female researcher with a ponytail seemed more excited.

Ahn Ke slightly furrowed her brows: "After finishing today’s research, go adjust your body. I don’t want people without even this bit of self-control."

The research institute near Zheng Yichen’s Home is crucial; she’ll go there later but won’t go alone. If she brings someone, it must be the suitable person. There are many geniuses; it’s unnecessary to focus on just a few. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Moreover, with the Firmament Wheel in the future, Zheng Yichen would need more hands, which could be found from other worlds.

If she decides in advance, she won’t select those with abilities but who lack in other aspects. Many can meet both conditions.

Aside from the Firmament Wheel, even the research institute near Zheng Yichen, unsuitable people going would create superfluous troubles.

She knew too well what was happening in Zheng Yichen’s home; every day, there were several green dragons sunbathing with dragon eggs, running around with a tree leading to Hell at home, and more bizarre stuff.

Sending madmen or madwomen with insufficient self-control there was as good as sending them to their deaths,

And while their deaths wouldn’t matter, any leftover troubles would significantly affect her.

"I’m in good shape..."

"Hmm?" Ahn Ke slightly raised her eyebrows looking at the researcher, whose expression stiffened before nodding promptly: "I’ll do as you say!"

"Not just this time, but always." Ahn Ke maintained a calm demeanor. Whether the other complied or not, she’d notice it, especially with the auxiliary effects of the Illusory Eye, leaving no place to hide.

Having decided to select candidates, just one problem would mean rejection.

Seeing Ahn Ke’s calm expression, the female researcher with a single ponytail felt nervous, her eyes reddening slightly.

Ahn Ke had this expression whenever she undertook special research; appearing calm, yet internally tumultuous. Her director wasn’t advising but demanding.

Any failure to comply meant eternally losing the chance of being chosen, unless willing to become an experiment specimen.

But experiment specimen roles are one-time, while researchers could explore more possibilities; sacrificing herself as a specimen was only feasible if the experiment was grand enough to make the ultimate sacrifice.

But as she exposed herself to increasingly innovative studies, her threshold for becoming a ’specimen’ escalated.

Previously, she was willing to sacrifice herself for the current Celestial Being’s Serum research, but after following Ahn Ke and encountering many unique studies along the way, asking her to choose again, she’d surely decline.

The Celestial Being’s Serum was merely a compromise study based on the artificial Celestial Being.

There were even greater research opportunities beyond this, so why sacrifice herself for this degenerated compromise study?

"I will do it!!"

"You better." As the rest time ended, Ahn Ke continued leading the subsequent research.

As for Zheng Yichen, although he could come to observe and partake in some studies here, he might lack specialized knowledge; however, he had Lilith’s assistance.

With willingness, he became among the best researchers, possessing machining precision other researchers lacked. Zheng Yichen excelled even beyond some machines.

If no others were around, leaving Zheng Yichen here would be okay, but there were many madmen and madwomen around; leaving him here would divert their attention towards him.

Thus, when dealing with new materials, Ahn Ke sent him away early on.

Zheng Yichen didn’t mind being sent off, as he had new affairs to handle; Du Gang had arrived, bringing Chun Xi along.

This Wild Ancient native woman, upon reaching here, adapted without any discomfort, instead, filled with curiosity about everything here. As for their walking infant son,

Though small in stature, his body was remarkably strong. While accompanying his parents, his eyes curiously observed this brand-new environment.

Even Zheng Yichen was somewhat taken aback: "This kid seems very smart."

The infant had just turned a month old, yet appeared capable of punching an adult to death.
