Capítulo 965: Chapter 20: Physicians Cannot Heal Themselves (3)
“The local plants will automatically adapt to the environnt and undergo spontaneous mutations. Eventually, they will beco…” Gongsun Ce pondered, “a naturally occurring ‘chanism’?”
As he spoke, the mutation of the wheatgrass was completed. It had now turned into a green lamppost, with “bulbs” hanging like grapes at the top, emitting a strong light in the snow, like a lighthouse guiding the way.
“But it’s very difficult to control the mutation of Wood chanism. We originally intended to develop a portable device that could quickly generate heat in extre cold conditions—replacing the cheap, low-energy hand warrs on the market—but this grass seems to have its own career plan; it prefers to grow into a lighthouse,” Poddis glanced at his watch and laughed, “This process is extrely difficult to control. Only a few experienced experts can cultivate Wood chanism directionally, and they are the most respected professionals in this state.”
Gongsun Ce glanced at the Wood chanism lighthouse, which had undergone new mutations, resembling a disco ball with colorful lights, giving the experts a headache.
“What a vibrant place.”
He patiently followed Poddis around to finish visiting these various experint projects. After leaving the experintal area, he casually drew a silence rune and said, “Alright, Mr. Poddis. You can leave to make a phone call; I’m not in a rush.”
Poddis was about to check his watch when he heard, “This…”
“In this half-hour, you’ve checked your watch three tis, wiped your sweat twice with a handkerchief, and when explaining to , you deliberately went on at length, talking about everything, all these details indicating that you are quite nervous.” Gongsun Ce smiled, “Let guess, both sentintally and practically, Doctor Bai Aoli should have co to talk to personally, but she was delayed for so reason, right?”
“Rumor indeed has it, you have a sharp eye.” Mr. Poddis sighed, “The Family Head has a peculiar temperant, please forgive her… she was supposed to appear 20 minutes ago, please allow to temporarily retreat and inform her.”
All lab coats in the world are of the sa damn pattern.
Gongsun Ce restrained himself from saying this sarcastic comnt in a formal setting, indicating to his counterpart not to be anxious. Poddis walked so distance away, speaking in an extrely low voice, “Doctor, the guest has been here for quite a while… I’m sorry to disturb your experint, but we shouldn’t and cannot be so negligent to a formidable person… please don’t be angry, you absolutely mustn’t—!”
“—Shut up, you low-energy idiot pig!!”
A neurotic shriek exploded from deep within the experintal area. A dark shadow flew in like a lightning bolt, smashing through several layers of protective glass along the way, causing transparent fragnts to rain down like a shower. Gongsun Ce, with quick reflexes, stepped aside, and the flying object smacked right into Mr. Poddis’s face, causing his nose to bleed profusely, making him see stars, and he fainted before he could make a sound.
With a heavy clang, Poddis hit the ground as the true form of the projectile slid off his face, revealing itself to be a wooden walkie-talkie. The quiet and busy researchers in the lab collectively gasped as a shriek of terror sliced through the tranquility like a siren, “An accident happened!!”
The once calm Wood chanism plants simultaneously began to evolve rapidly, straying far from their planned prototypes and transforming toward so simple and crude direction, becoming bear traps, handguns, boxing gloves, and even cannon barrels—various unsafe items. With the vitality of life, these rampaging plants caused havoc, filling the entire area with terrified screams.
“It’s happening again, my god!” “Soone calm down the Doctor!” “Fire extinguisher U7J turned into a fire dragon head…” “Security team, get over here, for god’s sake!” “Ah! My recently completed improved experint subject!!!”
Gongsun Ce almost burst into laughter; the scene was so familiar that he thought he was back in the laboratory of a certain doctor in the city of Cangdu. Just as he was about to lend a hand to these poor lab coats, the rampaging plants suddenly seed to receive an order, bouncing one by one back to their original positions.
“A bunch of brain-deficient morons! Wasting my priceless ti all day with aningless petty matters, a family could raise a bunch of pigs that are more useful than you lot!”
A particularly short figure walked out, stepping on shattered glass while pointing fingers at the lab coats, cursing relentlessly. Yet, she was a petite green-haired girl, wearing a dress and slippers, sporting a pair of antiquated round glasses, with a miniature lab coat draped over her like a cape. Those unaware might think that a researcher had brought their child to the company.
After scolding the lab coats, she rcilessly kicked the unfortunate Mr. Poddis twice, shrieking, “Where is that dood brat?!”
“If you are looking for Gongsun Ce.” Gongsun Ce said gently, “I’m right beside you.”
The green-haired girl struggled to look up, as Gongsun Ce, at 1.8 ters tall, was like a giant to her. “Ah, so you’re the Superpower User.” The girl nodded, “Bai Aoli Dadarian, squat down and shake my hand.”
Gongsun Ce squatted down, adhering to the principle of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and shook hands with the girl.
“I heard you’re 73 years old this year.”
“Any problem?” Bai Aoli glared.
“Nothing, you don’t look it.” Gongsun Ce stood up, “If it’s convenient for you, shall we talk first…”
“I’m not available. I don’t want to waste ti. You, Gaius, and Celeste, whatever you want to do is your own business, but don’t think about disturbing my experints!”
Gongsun Ce pushed his glasses up: “Can I interpret this as the Dadarian family’s…”
Before he could finish, Bai Aoli interrupted him again, speaking rapidly, “No, you can’t! I stand wherever suits the situation, that’s it!”
With such directness, Gongsun Ce felt no psychological burden; he bluntly said, “We do hope you and your family can stand with us. If you can’t decide temporarily, why don’t you take to see the totem of the chanical State, and then we’ll quickly leave and not bother you further.”
“You want to see the totem?” Dr. Bai Aoli poked his belly, “Kid, do you really think we’ll consecrate you, allowing you to take whatever you want?
Except for those idiots from the Siluoke family, no family would hand over their secrets to outsiders. I’m telling you, don’t even think about it!”
Bai Aoli behaved like a cold iron sheet, a standout shall-not-eat, fearing neither the earth nor the sky. Gongsun Ce looked down at her expression and suddenly smiled, asking, “What do you want?”
“You don’t understand human language?”
“I believe my level in universal language is adequate.” Gongsun Ce said leisurely, “If you truly made up your mind to be a fence-sitter, why put on such a challenging stance towards , and why take the risk to et in person? If we can et, then we can talk.”
Dr. Bai Aoli’s nervous, irritable expression slowly vanished, and an old cunning smile inappropriate for her young face appeared.
“Ah, you’re quite the clever youngster.” She switched tones, “My request is quite simple. I want you to assist with my current experint.”
“Doctor Cecil would be more than happy to provide assistance.” Gongsun Ce didn’t even hesitate to volunteer a certain doctor far away in Cangdu.
“Reena Cecil? Have that self-righteous fool get lost, I don’t want to see that idiot in my lifeti!” Dr. Bai Aoli angrily said, “Listen up, kid. I want Chikou Zhenfan to personally co to the chanical State, otherwise, there’s nothing to discuss!”
·
Half an hour later, Gongsun Ce was sitting on a bench in the park, talking at length on the phone.
“…That’s how it is, Doctor Bai Aoli Dadarian specifically nad you to co. Sister Zhenfan, do you have any ideas?”
Zhenfan was puzzled, “My research direction is completely different from hers.”
“Aren’t you and Cecil both into biochemical stuff?”
“Sigh… totally different. Doctor Cecil specializes in biochemical animal modification. My research focuses on human dicine and organ evolution, whereas Dr. Bai Aoli is the most authoritative expert in the cybernetics field.”
Gongsun Ce then recalled those hard tal arms and was surprised: “She’s researching cybernetics in the chanical State?”
“Is there a problem?” Zhenfan asked back, “The chanical State is the birthplace of cybernetics technology, after all.”
