Seize Genes

The voice of the system said: "There are seven major benefits. First, this creature has a very strong ability to reproduce. It is a single-celled animal that reproduces by dividing. Theoretically, as long as there is enough material, they can Continuously divide and reproduce. Before the end of life, it can divide infinitely, with no limit on the number of times.

"Each slime, with enough material, can split a dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of times a day. Every day, every slime can split into a large number of new slimes. . If your skill bar is loaded with slime's genetic sequence, various cells in your body, including skin, muscles, blood vessels, nerves, internal organs, and even part of the brain, can divide at a high speed.

"To put it simply, the self-healing ability can be enhanced dozens of times, and the metabolism can be increased dozens of times at any time, or return to normal. Any wound on the body can be repaired by itself in an instant. Many for normal people, An injury that is fatal enough is just a minor injury to you. As long as the core part of the brain is not damaged, it can be repaired quickly.

"With the capabilities of this system, you can achieve near-immortality."

Zhan Fei's breath stagnated slightly, and then asked: "The price of enhanced self-healing ability is accelerated metabolism, so... will the body's aging rate be accelerated?"

The system said: "All normal cells in the human body have a limit to the number of times they can divide. Generally, it is about fifty times. If you maintain a state of accelerated metabolism, aging will definitely be accelerated. However, this genetic skill can allow you to divide in your own body. When you are seriously injured and need to accelerate repair, your metabolism speeds up. Under normal circumstances, your metabolism does not change. "

Zhan Fei nodded slightly.

The voice of the system added: "However, the human body is not a slime. Slime is a single-celled animal that can quickly excrete impurities from the body. However, the human body must discharge impurities through veins, pores, liver, kidneys or intestines. No matter how fast the metabolism is, it is still weaker than slime.”

Zhan Fei nodded again.

The voice of the system said: "However, due to the accelerated metabolism of the body, the human skin will easily return to a baby-like delicate state, and all scars will disappear. The skin will be as white as snow, and there will never be any skin diseases such as blackheads and acne. , although it seems to be broken by blowing, it will not reduce the toughness of the skin and has a strong beauty and whitening effect. This is the second benefit. "

Zhan Fei was embarrassed: "I'm not a woman. Why do I have to have such white and beautiful skin? Do I want to be a pretty girl... But are you sure that my skin is whitening? It won't turn green like ordinary slimes?"

"If you eat a lot of chlorophyll or make a living by eating weeds, your skin will turn green. If you make a living by eating mud, your skin will turn yellow-green..." the system said.

Zhan Fei was speechless.

The system said: "The third benefit is that due to the accelerated metabolism, as long as the toxins are not too strong, they cannot threaten your body. Many toxins in the body that normal people cannot excrete. You can excrete all kinds of viruses. Most of them Most of them will be directly eliminated by the body's immune system before they cause harm to you. Various ailments and hidden dangers in the body will also disappear quickly, and the body will remain in a healthy state... until it dies naturally.

"The fourth benefit is that the shape of slimes can constantly change and can be combined and fused in pairs. Therefore, some of the muscles on your body can expand and contract at will, changing your appearance and figure, and making your height and The size of the body changes, and some cells in the body can fuse with each other, making the muscles temporarily tougher or looser. It can also explode with strength beyond ordinary people by changing the muscles, which is equivalent to a "weakened version" of "Strength". endless'.

"The fifth benefit is that slimes can devour most materials in nature, from mud, weeds, wood, bones, plant and animal corpses, and even various metals. They can absorb and devour everything from mud, weeds, wood, and bones. And various metals, these things that cannot be used as normal human food can be swallowed and absorbed, and your life-saving ability is greatly increased, and you can survive in no matter how harsh the environment is. "

The corners of Zhan Fei's mouth twitched slightly.

The system said: "The sixth benefit is that slimes have the ability to evolve infinitely. They can integrate genes absorbed from other life forms into their own bodies, change their own genes, and make themselves stronger or weaker. Therefore, there are bats Slime, jellyfish slime, stinger slime, tentacle slime, dragon slime, etc. If you swallow the genes of 'Hairy Dragon Lin' or 'Angel' and 'Demon', you can even turn them into Their genes are integrated into your body, allowing you to evolve into a divine beast, pseudo-angel or pseudo-demon..."

Zhan Fei was excited.

The system said: "However, the chance of success is only one in 100,000. In most cases, it will cause the collapse of one's own gene chain, causing massive necrosis of cells throughout the body and making it impossible to repair. As the system said before, genes conflict with each other, which will cause many problems. extremely serious adverse consequences.” (Refer to Chapter 52)

Zhan Fei felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head: "Only one in 100,000 chance of success?"

"Yes. There are so many slimes. Even if there is only one in a million chance of successful evolution, if one of the nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine will die, it will be a very high chance. "

Zhan Fei almost vomited blood: "But there is only one 'I'. This ability is almost useless to me."

"It's useful, it's of great use."

"What's the big use?"

"Let's talk about it later. In short, slime can evolve infinitely. It can not only absorb the genes of other 'carbon-based life forms' to transform itself, but can also absorb various metals and non-metals to transform itself. For example, 'metal slime', It can essentially be regarded as a subspecies of 'liquid metal robot', which can withstand the impact of most earth weapons, including nuclear bombs, as long as it can evolve successfully."

Zhan Fei was depressed: "It's too exaggerated. A burst of strong current can electrocute a liquid metal robot."

The voice of the system said: "It cannot be electrocuted. Have you ever heard that lightning rods can be broken and melted by lightning? Metal slime itself conducts electricity. However, the more conductive a material is, the less afraid of current it is. Only semiconductors are the easiest to be killed. Burned out by the current.”

"Are you really not afraid of electricity?"

"Yes... the body is not afraid of electricity. It's just that... the core consciousness of the brain will be wiped out by the electric current. There is no guarantee that the body will be fine and can be resurrected. Whether it will still have the original consciousness."

Zhan Fei almost vomited blood and was teased by the system bastard again.

"If the outer layer of your brain's core is nearly insulated and your body becomes a good conductor or superconductor, you can avoid all current attacks," the system said.

After a pause, he added: "The seventh benefit. Slime genes can devour and fuse other genetic skills in your body, evolving into a brand new gene with brand new skills."

"Huh?" Zhan Fei's eyes lit up: "What do you mean?"

"For example, your grasshopper gene, invulnerability, light magic foundation, etc., can all be absorbed, swallowed and fused by the 'slime gene'. It combines various strengths into one."

"Isn't this kind of fusion very unstable?" Zhan Fei said.

"Yes. However, if you gather five 'gene skills' together, you can build an extremely stable ring, obtain a new and extremely powerful skill, and even evolve into a talent." The system said.

Zhan Fei took a breath and said excitedly: "Explain clearly."

A piece of text appears on the virtual screen.

"Strong feet, tough wings, invulnerable skin, powerful self-healing ability, infinite cell division, near-immortal life, immense strength, terrifying roar, the ability to spit out magical power. And master powerful magical power...people with these characteristics Biology, what did you think of?" the system asked.

Zhan Fei frowned slightly and pondered for a moment. Said: "Dragon?"

"That's right." The system said: "If slime's genes devour external genes to improve and evolve themselves, there is only one in 100,000 chance of success, but if they devour the 'gene skills' that already exist in you and merge them with each other, , the probability of success can be greatly improved.

"Calculated based on this system. If you have a 'grasshopper gene', an 'invulnerability' skill, an 'infinite strength' skill, a 'lion's roar' or a 'dragon's roar' or other skills, a 'nano-robot birth organ' ', coupled with the powerful self-healing ability and devouring fusion ability of the 'slime gene', it can be freely combined into a dragon gene.

"Moreover, based on your choice, a dragon gene that is most suitable for you will be born. It may even be a 'new dragon race gene'."

Zhan Fei was silent for a moment: "Very powerful?"

"very powerful."

"More powerful than angels and demons?"

"It depends on your choice." The system explained: "If you choose 'Lion's Roar' or 'Dragon's Roar', it will have different effects on your future strength. The 'Infinite Power' skill you choose will also have different effects on your future strength." Nano If you use the "Robot Birth Organ", you can use the "Light Magic Basics", and then you will have the light dragon bloodline. If you use the "electric summoned beast", you will have the electric dragon bloodline from now on."

Zhan Fei listened and thought for a while: "I still don't quite understand. The combination of these genes makes it sound like a pseudo-dragon. How powerful can it be?"

The system said: "One plus one is far greater than two. For example, if the 'grasshopper gene' is combined with 'infinite strength', your leg strength will be ten to dozens of times stronger than when it is currently at its strongest. The jumping ability is increased several to ten times. However, the bones and muscles of the body cannot support it, and it is impossible to explode dozens of times.

"But if you have a strong self-healing ability, and your body is constantly repaired and strengthened from damage, theoretically speaking... it can be continuously strengthened, enough to allow your legs to perfectly explode with strength dozens of times stronger than now.

"And because the slime gene can swallow all kinds of metals, you can even forge and swallow various metals, so that the various cells in your legs will continue to be destroyed and regenerated, and the leg bones will become stronger than titanium alloy. The hard bones allow your leg muscles to reach the upper limit of all carbon-based life forms, even stronger than a real dragon. The strength of your legs can reach more than a thousand times! A thousand times is not a problem.

"However, this requires a long period of training. But it has the possibility of almost 'infinite strengthening'."

Zhan Fei gasped: "So...it's actually so powerful."

The system added: "Your current light magic foundation can only store 1 billion nanorobots in your organs. The number of nanorobots born every second is also very limited. But if it is fused with several other genes, the cells of the body can divide infinitely. The ability to reproduce infinitely and double the metabolism can increase the speed of producing light nanomachines in one's body by several times or dozens of times. After tempering, all cells in the body can theoretically have the ability to produce light nanomachines on their own. , 490,000 times more powerful than now, more powerful than the light energy of angels... However, it also requires a very long time of tempering.

"Before evolving to the most powerful level, you can still have very strong strength. And you can maintain a very terrifying speed to increase your strength.

"Furthermore, because the body's self-healing and repair capabilities are extremely strong, and it also possesses a strong devouring ability, so... you are like Xiao Qiang in some comics, you cannot be beaten to death, and the more seriously you are injured, the stronger you become... Premise The condition is that you can survive this pain and have enough material and energy for your body to swallow."

Zhan Fei couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The system said: "Since the light nanorobots have the ability to repair cells, including cell telomeres, mitochondria, etc., as long as you have enough light nanorobots, after human cells divide, they can be repaired by the light nanorobots, and the cells will divide every time. It can be restored. Even metabolism cannot cause accelerated aging. As long as the light nanorobots in the body are not exhausted, the cells can continue to divide.

"So, combined with slime's high cell activity and unlimited division ability, the consequences are..."

Zhan Fei asked: "What are the consequences?"

"All your cells have the ability to divide infinitely... To put it simply, it means immortality. Even if you can't live forever, you can at least have a lifespan of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years like a giant dragon. "

Zhan Fei's eyes suddenly widened and he held his breath.

"However, the more powerful the body is, the more light nanorobots are needed to repair the 'number of cell divisions'. There must be a certain balance between the strength of the body and the birth speed of nanorobots. Otherwise, lifespan will be affected. And , before your body can produce enough light nanorobots, you must be careful not to waste the number of 'cell divisions' too much, otherwise it will easily lead to natural death."

Zhan Fei nodded sharply.

"Electric nanorobots are less capable of repairing cells, but they also have the ability to repair. However, it takes ten times as many electric nanorobots to have the same repair ability as light nanorobots. However, electricity The penetration attack ability of nano-robots is stronger, more powerful than the attack power of light system, and its application range is wider. How you choose is up to you. "

Zhan Fei nodded sharply again.

Suddenly, Zhan Fei's heart moved: "What's the chance of success? Is the dragon gene created by this combination more powerful than the dragon gene directly exchanged in the system? It is simply equivalent to an immortal giant that can evolve infinitely. Dragon, it’s not that easy to successfully combine, right? Even if the combination is successful, are there any restrictions?”

The cheapest dragon genes redeemed in the system require tens of thousands of contribution points. This combination method is much cheaper, but the effect is many times better. It is strange that there is no limit.

The system said: "The probability of success is related to the 'gene compatibility' of the genetic skills you combine. First of all, 'grasshopper gene', 'invulnerability', 'infinite strength', 'roar', 'nano-robot derived organs',' Slime Gene', the compatibility of these genes must be above 93%, and the compatibility of the 'Slime Gene' must reach 100%, in order to have the ability to absorb and devour multiple genetic skills at the same time.

"The success rate of phagocytosis fusion is equal to the multiplication of the other five 'gene compatibility' levels. For example, for the five major skills, all gene compatibility levels are 93%, then the success rate is 93%x93%x93%x93%x93%=69.57 %.

“If the compatibility of all genes is 99%, the success rate is 99%x99%x99%x99%x99%=95.1%. If the compatibility of all genes is 100%, the success rate can be infinitely close to 100%. "

Zhan Fei's heart was beating wildly. It was not easy to reach 100%. It could even be said that although it was extremely difficult, it was worth fighting for this dragon gene that could evolve infinitely. According to the system, in the end, this gene can make him many times more powerful than a real dragon, so who should he fear?

Moreover, it is almost once and for all. As long as it is a one-time expenditure, it does not require many contribution points in the future. It only needs continuous practice and training to improve. Where can I find such a good thing?

"What about the restrictions? After the fusion is successful, are there any restrictions on the ability of this gene? Are there any hidden dangers?" Zhan Fei asked.

The system said: "After the fusion is successful, there will be two branches. First... this genetic skill will be converted into a permanent talent. It cannot be 'uninstalled', but this gene will be combined with all the cells in your body, and you can use it in the future. Through reproductive cells, this gene can be passed on to future generations, and you can also improve yourself through continuous training, and you can improve yourself by absorbing different substances. However, it is very difficult for you to absorb other genes to strengthen yourself. Absorb other genetic skills to change your own genes, unless you get rewards such as 'talent +1' in the future.

"If you choose this branch, you need to pay a large amount of contribution points, and the system will help with the transformation. In addition, you can acquire new skills by freeing up the 'skill bar' on your body. It is equivalent to having all the previous skills in your body, and at the same time, you can also have new ones. Skills. New skills can easily conflict with existing 'talent genes', but they will not cause physical deterioration. The disadvantage is that the 'gene compatibility' increases slowly, very slowly.

"The second branch, the 'Zhan's Dragon Gene' you combined will not become a 'talent'. It will not be permanently consolidated and will not be combined with the cells in the body. It will only be integrated into the organs of the 'skill bar' and become A 'genetic skill'. It can be unloaded and reloaded, but the unloading and loading speeds will be greatly slowed down.

"This kind of gene will not be passed on to future generations, it will occupy the skill bar, and the genetic effect is not as powerful as 'talent'. But the advantage is... you can continue to devour other genes to change yourself, and you can continue to devour other genetic skills of your own for fusion. Let the 'Zhan's Dragon Gene' become stronger and more perfect.

"The limitation is: every time a new gene is added, the success rate of fusion will decrease. The gene may become less stable, but it may also become more perfect and powerful. The theory can even evolve to surpass all carbon The "god realm" above various life forms such as basic life, silicon-based life, metal life, gaseous life, and energy body life is unknown, and the required time is equivalent to the ability to maintain infinite evolution. "

Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages. After the former is selected, the genes are basically determined. They can be improved in the future, but they can only improve their own strength. The optimization of genes will become much slower and more difficult. Basically, there is only one kind of nanorobot with one attribute, either light type or electric type. Unless you get a reward such as "Talent +1", even if you reach level 18, the talents you can add to your body will definitely be very limited.

The latter option allows the genes to be continuously improved and perfected. Let alone a nanorobot with one attribute, even if it wants to have more than a dozen attributes, it is normal. It wouldn't be a problem even if the genes were perfected to the point where all the descendants could directly become gods. But the various resources and time required are by no means what Zhanfei can imagine now.

It was difficult for him to choose for a while, but fortunately he didn't need to make a choice now.

"Do you decide to redeem the 'Slime Gene' and load it into the 'Skill Bar'?" the system's voice asked.

Zhan Fei thought for a while and said, "I still have three questions."

The system remained silent.

"The first question is, after the slime gene is merged with other genetic skills...if I choose a talent, will I stay in human form or in the form of a dragon?"

The system said. "Human form, pure human form, but with the ability to change muscles and change part of the body shape."

Zhan Fei asked again: "The second question...if I choose slime's gene, will the muscles on my body become as soft as slime before integrating other genes? Especially... "

He looked at his crotch and asked his biggest worry: "Will that place... become as soft as slime and unable to get hard?" (To be continued)
