Weird Rules Rumor: At The Beginning, He Insisted That He Was Not Dead Chapter 109: Genetic Tower (8)

“This really is a problem,” Bai Lian nodded. If things were as Lin Ya said, collecting a hundred biological samples wouldn’t be so simple.

“How did you obtain biological samples before? You must have had specialized teams to capture them?” he asked.

Lin Ya shook her head, not answering the question. Instead, she turned around, grabbed a mouse, and started working on the computer.

She opened a website and, moving aside, said to Bai Lian:

“Look at this, and you’ll understand.”

Bai Lian stepped closer. On the screen was a simple website with the words: “Official Website of the Genetic Tower.”

At the very top of the site was a bright headline: “Big Reward for Biological Samples!”

“So, all your previous biological samples were obtained through bounties?” The corner of Bai Lian’s mouth twitched.

No wonder the process was so inefficient. Without specialized capture teams, everything depended on what bounty hunters brought in. And the site looked so primitive that it didn’t even inspire a click. It couldn’t help but seem like so pirated resource.

“What can we do? Most of the funds go towards drug developnt. Very little money is left for advertising. This is already a good result,” Lin Ya sighed.

She looked at Bai Lian:

“Do you have any ideas?”

Bai Lian thought for a mont and asked:

“Can you write code?”

“A little, but not much,” Lin Ya replied, nodding in surprise.

“That’s enough. We just need to improve the site a bit and add a user-friendly interface for the bounty section,” Bai Lian said, pointing to the computer. “I’ll tell you what to do, and you do it.”

Lin Ya nodded and prepared to listen:

“Go ahead.”

“First, find so photos of beautiful won online, preferably ones where they’re lightly dressed.”

“Why?” Lin Ya asked, perplexed.

Bai Lian waved his hand: “Just do as I say. I guarantee it will increase reach.”

Lin Ya didn’t hesitate and soon found suitable photos online.

“And then?”

“Then place these photos next to the bounty link. The photos should flash, and write so text next to them.”

“What text?”

“'Ho alone, unbearably hot, can't help yourself? Click on .'”

Lin Ya’s hands, which were typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped. She silently looked at Bai Lian with an expression of utter bewildernt.

“What are you looking at? Look at the screen,” Bai Lian said.

“You… are simply a genius…” Lin Ya managed to say after a mont.

Placing sothing like that next to an official link – wasn’t Bai Lian a genius? At the very least, no one had dared to think of doing this before him, probably wouldn’t even have considered it.

But now wasn’t the ti to argue about it – the thod really could increase reach.

For soone like Bai Lian, this was clearly a working thod.

Following his instructions, she inserted the photos next to the link and added that dubious text. Everything was ready.

“Now all we have to do is wait calmly.”

Bai Lian sat on the nearby bed. The soft mattress relaxed his tense nerves.

Facai (his pet) jumped down from Bai Lian’s shoulder and, like a wild boar stuck in a swamp, started rolling around on the soft quilt, eventually burrowing under it. From the outside, it looked like a moving lump.

Feeling two people—one larger, one smaller—brazenly enjoying themselves on her bed, Lin Ya frowned disapprovingly.

However, she ultimately said nothing, rely turned away and continued intently studying the modified bounty link. She was worried soone might complain.

After all, this was completely unlike what an official site should permit.

...

The electronic clock on the wall ticked relentlessly, like sand ceaselessly falling in an hourglass, as the night darkness grew thicker.

In the sky, unseen by anyone, a bright full moon emitted pure light, vainly trying to pierce the black clouds. Its light only reached the massive ship.

The colossal ship hovered in the air, its slowly rotating hull resembling the hands of a clock counting down ti, as if foretelling sothing important.

Inside the Genetic Tower, plunged into darkness, lights illuminated the corridors and laboratories, but left dark corners where shadows still reigned.

Under the lamps, researchers labored, while players desperately searched for biological materials. Their attention was focused solely on their current tasks, oblivious to the danger lurking in the darkness.

At so point, in one of the dark rooms, a sound suddenly rang out. In the corner where an unexplored escape pod stood, the door unexpectedly opened.

A dark figure erged. It resembled a shadow: featureless, colorless.

Like the players, where its "eyes" should be was an analyzer device, its screen scrolling lines of text:

Countdown complete. All experintal subjects have entered the Genetic Tower. Data collection will conclude in three hours.

Experintal Subject #001: Vital signs normal, movent trajectory normal, behavior normal, no suspicion...

Experintal Subject #002: All normal...

Experintal Subject #003: Vital signs normal, movent trajectory normal, IQ significantly reduced, behavior abnormal, no suspicion...

...

Scanning complete, extraction may comnce. All units begin operation…

The subtitles vanished, and the shadows silently dissolved into the darkness, then left the room.

A similar scene played out in an inconspicuous room on another floor of the Geno building.

...

“Attention! Attention! An ergency has been detected. All researchers must leave their laboratories and, under guard escort, return to their apartnts. Before exiting the laboratory, ensure all specins are securely contained...”

This announcent bood through the Geno building’s loudspeakers. Everyone who heard it imdiately stopped work, placed specins into special containers, and, under guard protection, left the laboratories.

The players were sowhat bewildered by the events. They didn’t yet understand what was happening. However, those who knew the dungeon’s progression were already following the departing researchers.

“It’s started. It’s started again,” Lin Ya said, standing in the white-walled room, rubbing her temples.

Bai Lian, who had been sleeping soundly on the bed, heard the voice and sat up, squinting sleepily as he asked:

“What happened?”

He lifted his head and looked at the electronic clock. Three hours had already passed. Turning around, he slapped the sleeping Facai with all his might!

THWACK!

“Sleeping again! I told you to keep track of ti, and you fell asleep! How can you even sleep when you’re just a mascot?”

Facai, woken by the blow, looked at Bai Lian drowsily:

“You’re yelling at ? You passed out before I did!”

Lin Ya ignored the two clowns, waved Bai Lian over, and said:

“Co here, look at this.”

Bai Lian walked over to her and looked at the screen she indicated.

When he saw the surveillance cara feed, his sleepy gaze instantly sharpened.

On the monitor, a black shadow could be seen hunting down one of the players!
