003 Genes in Food

Under the bed, Lupin pulled out several boxes of canned goods.

Obviously, these were cheap synthetic foods, but Lupin didn't have the capital to be picky, so he quickly opened them and began to feast on them.

Facts have proved that synthetic does not mean that it is unpalatable, on the contrary, the artificial flavors of this era have been able to simulate a variety of flavors, a total of four boxes of food puree, Lupin tasted four flavors: red stewed meat, black pepper beef, chicken potato and orange...... For Lupin, who tasted it for the first time, it was actually a bit amazing.

Of course, Lupin can also imagine that if he eats this pureed food for a long time, even if he tastes more, he may have a day when he wants to vomit.

Eating, on the one hand, is hungry, and on the other hand, it is also an experiment.

Lupin closed his eyes, and on the game interface, a series of prompts to obtain new genes appeared one after another.

[Obtained 0.1% ...... of "soybean" gene]

[0.2% ...... obtained from the "sugar beet" gene]

[Obtained 0.1% ...... of "sugarcane" gene]

"It seems that just like in the game, the way to get genes is to eat! Before injecting genetic potions, it should also be regarded as an alternative kind of 'eating', after all, not all living things have digestive tracts, and the definition of eating in "Prokaryotic Evolution" is more similar to 'ingestion into the body'. Lupin thought to himself.

"However, the variety and number of these genes ...... Sure enough, synthetic foods are made from inexpensive raw materials, and after many intermediate processes, the genes are almost destroyed. Lupin was helpless.

Heating, long-term storage, and various antioxidants can all damage the genes in food.

But there's no way around it.

This is no longer the earth that Lupin is familiar with, the current rulers of the "gods" come from the region, and the living environment they like is very different from that of humans, magma, gunsmoke, toxins, dark clouds, these are all things they like, so the city has also been transformed into the appearance they like, like the dark clouds over Dream Weaving City, which is how they come, so that the whole city does not see the sun all year round.

The lack of sunlight prevents plants from growing, which in turn makes it difficult for all organisms upstream of the biological chain to survive. Not to mention, there are also ordinary creatures from hell, such as the "Hellfire Bat" that can be seen everywhere in the sky, and the "Devil Grass" that can be seen everywhere on the ground......

In such an environment, almost all life on the earth is extinct, and perhaps in some corners of the earth, there can still be a strange scene of wind blowing grass and seeing cattle and sheep, but in the city, there is almost no original life on the earth.

Except for humans.

Every month, the residents of Dream Weaver City can receive a free bottle of "Divine Water", which is a gift from the god of Dream Weaver City, "Arakne", which can save the residents of the city from being corrupted by the toxins of hell and die.

"Finished eating?" Lupin's spoon touched the bottom of the box, only to realize that he had eaten four boxes of pureed food at some point.

But I'm still hungry.

Lifting his clothes and touching the ribs that were clearly visible, Lupin felt that this body was more skinny than he remembered.

"This is reality, not a game, the terrifying power in the form of 'cow and horse' cannot come out of thin air, it should consume my own energy." Lu Pin thought thoughtfully, "The main energy reserve of people comes from fat, and it seems that we should pay attention to this problem in the future, and try to eat as much fat as possible, so as not to squeeze yourself dry once you transform." ”

"And try to stock up on as much energy-dense emergency food as possible...... Now, I don't even have normal food. ”

Lupin looked at the empty four food mud boxes, very helpless.

He rummaged through the cabinets in the whole house just now, and only found these four boxes of food puree, which is normally the amount of four meals, and he actually ate it in one go.

"In order to get the opportunity of genetic enhancement, the original body spent what little savings he had, and even sold everything that could be sold at home...... It's just a desperate gamble, reckless! ”

"Is genetic enhancement really so fascinating?"

Lupin's gaze fell on the pillow, on a few colorful picture books.

The edges of the album are all rolled, and it is clear that the original often lies in bed and looks through them.

Lupin quickly flipped through the pages, and this was a few comic books depicting urban vigilantes and superheroes...... It's similar to comic books like Spider-Man and Daredevil in my previous life, but the difference is that the protagonist in these albums is a superhero I've never heard of.

"Wolf girl?" Lupin saw on the cover a young woman with a thin waist and round hips, with her legs like wolf-like back-joints and her hands with huge claws.

The story in the comics is usually about a civilian who is about to encounter something bad, such as being robbed, murdered, bullied, ...... The wolf girl will always fall from the sky, fight grievances, save civilians, and even start a fragrant plot and so on.

In the process of reading the album, Lupin clearly felt that he had brought back many memories of the original body......

Pictures pass by in front of me.

The honest old man Wei at the east entrance of the slum alley, one day because he accidentally soiled someone's luxury car, he was beaten by the other party's bodyguards, and finally died of internal bleeding......

Andrew, who borrowed from a loan shark, failed to repay it because it was overdue, and used seven fingers to offset the interest for seven days......

Aunt Qin's twelve-year-old daughter Qin Shiyu, who sells steamed buns, was molested by thugs on the way from school, and was treated inhumane because of her fierce resistance......

Of course, they also called the police, but the operator hinted at adding money, the indifferent response after learning that the other party was a pauper, and the police officer who symbolically took a few photos and left with a smile......

To sum up, in this world, the safety of the poor is not guaranteed.

Gangsters, criminals, and wealthy people can trample on the already vague rules at will.

Lupin gradually understood why the original body was so yearning for genetic strengthening......

This is not a peaceful world, and if you want not to be bullied, you can only make yourself stronger.

Just like the wolf girl in the comics!

The comics are not fabricated out of thin air, it is now the year 2077, mechanical prosthetics and genetic recombination technology are both real medical technologies, and it is true that some people have become more powerful than mortals through mechanical modification or genetic modification.

Lupin extracted a very interesting fragment from his memory...... When he was beaten by thugs a few years ago, he was rescued by a young woman with sharp claws in both hands.

He's seen a truly transcendent human!

In my memory, the specific image of the woman has been blurred, and I can't even remember whether the other party is a beast claw or a mechanical claw, but since then, the original body has been madly obsessed with the wolf girl, and has also collected many related picture albums.

"No wonder Lupin in this world wants to be a genetic enhancer so much. There is a saying that the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutations, and the rich can actually achieve the goal of becoming super humans by buying powerful enough mechanical prosthetics, but people who are as poor as the original and have difficulty even eating can only hope for ethereal genetic mutations. ”
