Chapter Twenty-Six: I Walk Farther and Farther from the Light

"So, if you carry out ordinary implants first, such as those that enhance your physique, can you strengthen the endurance of the implants?"

Ling Qi put forward a more feasible suggestion, although he himself does not know much about bioengineering, but he is a well-deserved expert in chemical agents, and he still understands the principle of drug superposition. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Sasaki shook his head, silently walked over to his desk, took out a metal key from his coat pocket, and opened the drawer.

"No, this is one of the problems that has not yet been overcome in the field of gene implantation. ”

"Richard, the genius master who first invented gene implantation, originally used xenogeneous gene fragments to continuously optimize the human gene chain to achieve the purpose of infinite strengthening. ”

"It's a pity that you, like him, have ignored one of the most basic issues, which is the integration of genes. ”

"No matter how you fit the original genetic defect of the xenogeneic gene fragment, it is not a natural evolution, and there will always be some alienation and rejection of your own genes. ”

"Implanting xenogeneous gene fragments can indeed achieve the purpose of modifying the body, but while the body is optimized, your own gene chain also bears more unnecessary burdens. ”

"In fact, the reason why we use basic physical fitness as the standard to measure how many implants an individual can undergo is precisely because the better the basic quality, the more perfect their original genes are usually and the greater their ability to bear. ”

"In short, the precursor to organ failure caused by over-implantation of xenogeneic gene fragments is gene collapse. ”

Saying those words that he didn't know if others could understand, Sasaki had already taken out a stack of forms and documents from his desk.

Ling Qi frowned, and caught the information handed by Sasaki, but there were some small waves in his heart.

If implantation tolerance is not simply measured by attribute data, it is just an evaluation of one's own genes, does that mean that his physique should not be calculated at all by 18 points?

This question is difficult to answer, Ling Qi turned through the list of implants recorded in English page by page, in addition to ordinary gene implantation, there are as many as 100 kinds of special implants that have not undergone clinical trials!

Deathclaw gene, flame claw gene, elephant mouse gene, Sky Child gene, Night Stalker gene...

Seeing that Ling Qi frowned more and more as he looked at it, Sasaki couldn't help but make a suggestion on the side:

"With my years of experience in medicine, I think you should choose the deathclaw gene and the animan implant. Alternatively, you can also try a combination of Windranger and Cell Regeneration. Of course, if you're going to try to implant genetic fragments from special mutated units, such as the Emperor's Claw and the Flame Claw, I'm fine. But according to my estimates, then you can only do one implant and the success rate is no more than 30%. ”

Sasaki's advice is quite pertinent, and she also doesn't want the rare human trial to end in failure. But after all, her understanding of Ling Qi was limited to a simple attribute test, where would she understand this man's thoughts.

Sasaki believed in the results of the test report, but she didn't understand that many things could be summed up by the word "attributes".

Seeing that the man had stayed on a page for too long, Sasaki couldn't help but persuade:

"Although the Night Stalker gene implant is based on agility and perceptual perks, maybe you are really talented in these two areas, and your own genes will be more tolerant of these xenomorph fragments. But the problem is that the mutated creatures of the night stalkers, which have been classified as special units, live in the shadows, have almost no life on their bodies, and are more like dead creatures than zombies. ”

"After our research, we found that there is something special in their genetic fragments, which is not like a natural mutation, and is almost incompatible with the genes of any living organism. Legend has it that the first night owl was the artificially created product of a leopard and snake devouring each other, which is absurd, but not unreasonable. ”

"Especially the nightmare gene you see, we extracted it from an imperial owl entrenched in the mountains around Jacob's town to the southwest. The only successful implantation experiment on a mutant did give it a lot of good abilities, but it eventually died of genetic collapse. ”

"Believe me, if you choose this, you will definitely die, and 'Nightmare' is not only our characterization of its characteristics, but also the powerlessness of its implantation difficulty. ”

"It comes from an immortal who walks in darkness and turns his back on life in favor of eternity, which is fundamentally different from us who love light by nature. ”

"No creature can survive in a completely lightless environment for more than a month, including those mutated creatures underground, including the deathclaws that claim to be the most tenacious in the wasteland, including those mysterious youkai, and even most of the night owls themselves, except for it!"

"This Imperial Owl was captured and sent over by someone from above when I first took over this medical clinic six years ago. It has been locked up in absolute darkness for five years without eating or drinking, and yet it still shows signs of life, which is incredible in itself. ”

"Everyone knows that water is the source of life, but they ignore sunlight, which is as important as it. The only ones who can survive without the light are the undead. It probably shouldn't have existed in the first place, including this implant. ”

Sasaki strongly objected to Ling Qi's suicide, and made a gesture to take away the page of information in Ling Qi's hand, but he knew that his explanation had strengthened someone's confidence.

"Darkness and death..."

"If you can't be immortal in the light, why not live forever in the darkness!"

Ling Qi suddenly had the consciousness of a fallen angel, and silently handed back all the stacks of materials to Sasaki.

"That's it, let's get ready for surgery. ”

Sasaki was going to persuade again, but when she saw Ling Qi's eyes, her heart trembled-

It's too much like, that strange man from the East!

"Okay, whatever you want, the operation fee of six thousand bottle caps has been discounted for you, and you will not be credited. ”

Sasaki turned his head away and said in a deliberately stereotypical tone.

Ling Qi glanced back at Leo, and the wood elf behind him immediately placed the leather suitcase he was carrying on the table, opened the shackles, and lifted it, and the box was full of bottle caps.

"A total of eight thousand, and the excess will be settled later. ”

Sasaki nodded, just glanced at it casually, and motioned to the mechanical assistant who followed up next to him to carry the box away, and it seemed that he was also the master who was used to seeing money.

Then she went to the desk, took another file from the drawer, and took out a pen and brush that was pinned to the pocket of her jacket.

"It's an agreement document, and it's basically useless, but let's sign it. ”

In these days, verbal and written conventions are worthless, and fist is the last word.

Ling Qi shrugged his shoulders, took the pen and paper and signed a beautiful English signature, which was surprising that he could write so well.

"Well, the rest of you can stay here now, or follow M-177 outside. However, be careful not to touch anything, especially medical devices that are in operation!"

Saying this, Sasaki glared at Tang Xiao fiercely, and it seemed that some of his actions were still caught by her with the corner of her eye.

Tang Xiaozi nodded again and again in agreement, he didn't dare to ruin his captain's big thing at this time.

Recently, in order to pretend to be stupid in front of Boone, this guy has made himself a little funny, but fortunately he is not really stupid.

Sasaki commanded the mechanical assistant that was suspended in mid-air, the voice-activated system was obviously much more advanced than that of a mechanical mayor.

Then, she looked at Ling Qi with complicated eyes, and said lightly:

"Come with me now, I hope you don't get annoyed by your stubbornness. Of course, if the experiment fails, you won't even have that chance. ”

Ling Qi was at a loss for Sasaki's special treatment, as if he was no longer concerned about the rare experiments.

Compared to Sasaki, Ling Qi's companions had much more confidence in him, except for Kara, who gave him a worried look, probably because he was afraid that no one would pay for the trip to New Vegas after someone hung up. And the couple's savings are still on Godzilla's back, in case the monster turns around and doesn't recognize anyone...

Boone patted Ling Qi on the shoulder, signaling that he would take care of the newcomers who didn't know if they were mercenaries or patrons. The fat man and Tang Xiao just waved their hands to him casually, looking a little heartless.

It wasn't until Ling Qi followed the female doctor in a white passage with four walls that Sasaki frowned and asked:

"I doubt if they are your friends, why do they have to be so leisurely when they know that you are going to die?

Sasaki asked, his tone a little erratic. Ling Qi could tell that this question seemed to have been bothering her for a long time, not just the current matter.

"No one would deliberately send them to their death, and if they did, it would mean that they had to do it. ”

"Besides, they know me better than you do. No matter how experienced you are, and how long you have known me, how can you be sure that I am looking for death by choosing this way?"

Ling Qi was on the matter, and he didn't bother to care about this woman's private affairs.

There are always some people who are so self-righteous that their judgment must be correct and for the good of everyone. This is especially true of certain doctors, specialists, educators, who are not saved.

Sasaki paused, shook his head and sneered:

"You men, you love to be reckless, and you think you can always do miracles. ”

Ling Qi shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer, he knew that he wasn't talking about himself.

Soon, they came to a place that resembled a pre-war operating room, and as the sliding door opened, the two men walked together.

......

"General anesthesia? No, local is fine, I want to keep my brain awake during the operation." ”

...

"Hey~ just do your surgery, fiddling with what I'm doing down there! That's a personal item!"

...

"Of course, the cecum should be kept, maybe it will be useful in the future, and it can be transformed into some amazing organs. ”

...

"That's the stomach! Put it back! What are you doing with it!"

......

For three hours, in addition to the normal implantation operation, Ling Qi, who had almost been brutally subjected to a vivisection study, walked out of the operating room with a calm face behind the female doctor.

He looked pretty good, not at all like the person who had just been torn apart a moment ago, but Sasaki's cheeks were slightly red for some reason, as if he was drunk.

At this moment, his teammates were boredly speculating about Ling Qi's surgery, but no one thought that he would fail to implant it. First, if the team members are not more than 10 kilometers away from each other, the team board will show the status of teammates, although it is not as detailed as the personal panel, friends and minions panel, and it is still possible to distinguish between survival and death. The second captain is so strong, selfish and cautious, he may die under the indiscriminate guns one day, or he will be trampled into pulp by thousands of troops, and he can't die on the operating table, which is too cowardly.

As for the object of heated discussion, he has called out the personal attribute panel and carefully checked the postoperative status.

"The personal attributes panel opens, and the character attributes are as follows. ”

"Race: Human. ”

"Gender: Male. ”

"Name: Ling Qi. ”

"Age: 28. ”

"Basic attributes: Strength (21) (Soul Slayer +6, Nightmare Gene Implant +3), Agility (24) (Spirit Slayer +6, Nightmare Gene Implant +6), Constitution (21) (Spirit Slayer +6, Nightmare Gene Implant +3), Intelligence (14), Spirit (17), Perception (28) (Spirit Slayer +6, Nightmare Gene Implant +6), Charisma (15) (Spirit Slayer -2, Nightmare Gene Implant +3), Will (28) (Spirit Slayer +6). ”

Note: The average of all attributes of normal adult male humans in the chosen plane's plane is 10, and luck is a hidden attribute, which is unknown for the time being. ”

"Basic Skills: Intermediate Chemistry, Elementary Mathematics, Basic Management, Basic Psychology, Intermediate Swordsmanship (Spirit Slayer +3), Elementary Bow Technique (Spirit Slayer +1), Master Stealth (King of Shadows +1, Spirit Slayer +1, Nightmare Gene Implantation +1), Advanced Footwork (Spirit Slayer +2, Nightmare Gene Implant +2), Intermediate Summon (Spirit Slayer +2). ”

"Special Skills: Bloodthirsty Assault (Level 1) (Soul Slayer +2, Plane Suppression -1), Summoning the Slayer (Level 1) (Spirit Slayer +2, Plane Suppression -1), Half Moon Slash (Level 1) (Spirit Slayer), Flame Slayer (Level 1) (Sealing), Dark Arrow (Level 1), Backstab (Level 1) (King of Shadows), Shadow Attack (Level 1) (King of Shadows), Arcane Afterimage, Beast Rider (Godzilla), Concealment (Nightmare Gene Implantation), Shimmer Vision (Nightmare Gene Implantation). ”

"Talents: Lord of Shadows, Life Siphon, Fire Resistance (Level 1), Spirit Slayer (100 Slashes), Nightmare Gene Implantation (Unique). ”

"Important: You've given up on a career succession and you've unexpectedly embarked on a different path that no one could have predicted. You have become the only person in the know of a profession that has never been seen in history, and you have inherited the legacy that someone has failed to achieve, and you will continue on the path he has not yet succeeded in blazing. In this way, you will get the same benefits as the founder from this profession. And when the conditions are met, you can pass on the profession to others. ”

"Important: As a pioneer of a new class, you should not bother to inherit any existing class. So the current class is locked in the only one, and you won't be able to get other class inheritances!"

"Important: You have been banished by the light, and you have been completely labeled evil because you have been hated by life again. From now on, all beings who yearn for order and goodness will have a natural aversion to you, and all beings who yearn for chaos and evil will have a natural fear of you. ”

"Important: As a result of your choices, your affinity for the energy of darkness and death increases dramatically, your affinity for light and life energy tends to be close to none, and all healing spells cast on you will deal the same intensity of damage to expel evil. ”

"Important: Because you have implanted a non-native gene, your bloodline may be alienated, your mind will be polluted, and your soul will be trapped in a cage. ”

"Important: The genes you implant match another force in your body, and you'll get some additional benefits from implantation. ”

"Important reminder, the forces of darkness have invaded your bone marrow, and the light will see you as an enemy. From now on, when you are in an environment with absolutely no light, you will be in better and better shape until you are always optimal. When you are exposed to the light, your state will get worse and worse until you die. If the surrounding light is too strong, you will take the equivalent of a scorched damage over time, which cannot be immune!"

Ling Qi had a gentle smile on his face, and his hard-lined facial features became softer, adding a bit of evil handsomeness, which made people feel good.

He couldn't assess the gains and losses of the implant because there were some things that the data could no longer show.

The effect of implantation was actually much worse than Sasaki's prediction, but the process was also simple and outrageous, almost no genetic rejection, and it was successfully completed without any danger.

However, when Sasaki tried to implant him a second time, he found that all the implanted genes were excluded by his original gene chain, and forced fusion would only lead to gene collapse.

This strange situation even made Sasaki suspect that a certain man was actually a night owl, so he simply examined all his other organs except his brain, and finally found that from a physiological point of view, this man was indeed a real human being!

Only Ling Qi himself knew why all this had become like this, and what he had gained and lost!

It was far beyond his or Sasaki's imagination, but he had to try to understand!

He hadn't even broken through the first physical shackles, but he had sensed the imprisoned soul in advance! That was the second true limit of life!

He looked at the woman more than ten meters away, trying to see the texture on her clothes, and there was only a snow-white field of vision in his vision!

Instead of allowing him to see farther and clearer, the light obscured his eyes.

The artificial light sources around him that would not have affected him in the slightest even made him perceive a wave of heat, as if they were going to ignite him, instinctively repelling him!

What he loaths and dislikes about him is more than sunshine.

"It's a bit of a hassle!"

Ling Qi muttered to himself, then clenched his fists.

"But it's a great feeling!"

Strength, pure power, as if even the sun can burst the power!

His masterful stealth skills have given him the ability to hide in the shadows. And the newfound ability - Concealment!

"Lynch, you have to tell me what it's like to feel after the surgery. It's really strange, is it because the blood of that emperor owl has been frozen for too long and has lost its activity? No, this is not an exchange of blood for you, it is just an extraction of gene fragments for assimilation, and the scanner clearly shows that the implantation has been successful. Strange, so weird!"

Sasaki thought to the man behind her, this was the most inexplicable operation she had ever succeeded in self-healing.

She didn't look back, how could she find that there was no one behind her!

"Later, let's talk about it. ”

Ling Qi's voice seemed hollow and ethereal, almost like the weird tone in a ghost movie.

But the female doctor didn't notice it at all, as if Ling Qi was standing behind her and talking normally.

"Alright, let's go to your companions first, they should be in a hurry. ”

The female doctor said as she pushed open the isolation door.

Behind her, the air fluctuated slightly, distorting slightly as if it had been burned by fire.

"Companion~I~ Do you still need it-"

Ling Qi, who entered a state of seclusion, found that his vision had become another mode, as if his soul was out of his body, and he could control his body to walk on the one hand, but he could "see" the scene of 365 degrees around him.

Within 100 meters, the slightest detail!

He can even "see" Sasaki's fiery body under his clothes, the bright red muscles under his fair skin, and the deeper meridians and bones!

He "saw" her vibration, a flame, slowly burning, but not vigorous.

He looked down again and "looked" at himself, and found that there was only a large area of darkness, filled with a thick dead air, and there was no life at all...
