I am the only one who practices magic: I practice magic in the city

Chapter 543 The Curse Fulfilled?
Adrian is from Earth!?
In an instant, Fang Yu resolved many of his previous doubts.

Fang Yu had previously felt that the God of Wealth system was too similar in architecture to Amazon Web Services or Ali Cloud, essentially an arcane version of a cloud computing platform.

Considering the timing of her disappearance, it coincided with the peak of cloud computing's popularity. That year, AWS began to turn a profit, Azure had just been officially launched commercially, and Ali began investing heavily in cloud computing...

Her papers and patents include achievements in the field of cloud computing.

No wonder she was able to create that God of Wealth system and develop so many new spells.

I guess they brought Python with them when they traveled through time?

But she's actually a woman?
how can that be possible?
After reading several of Adrian's papers published on Earth, Fang Yu found it even harder to believe.

Fang Yu is not discriminating against women's abilities, but rather that Adrian's behavioral logic is completely devoid of any feminine characteristics.

Even if she is a lesbian, her behavior and logic cannot be completely the same as a man's.

In fact, Fang Yu has read many papers and notes written by women, and those works are rational, calm, precise, and equally outstanding.

But that's not the same thing as Adrian's style at all.

Whether it was the arcane papers she published during the Great Arcane Era, which improved basic spells, or the papers and articles she wrote on Earth, her words were completely devoid of moderating rhetoric, and her sentence structure was highly simplified, as if each paragraph presupposed that the reader and she were standing on the exact same cognitive framework.

She never explains the "obvious" derivation paths, omitting even the most basic variable definitions, and only provides clean causal chains.

Fang Yu was all too familiar with this style of writing.

That's how he wrote it, and that's how most papers in the field of pure mathematical models are written.

He had tried to find a “feminine touch” in Adrian’s writing, but there was not even a slightly pacing transition word or an empathetic description of the process.

Just like Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle, both were masters of mystery and both wrote about rational male protagonists, but the temperament in their writing was completely different.

Agatha Christie would describe how Hercule Poirot unconsciously rubbed the rim of his glass after he finished speaking, and Conan Doyle would write, "Holmes said..."

Adrian's writing is like this; her papers contain very few complex sentence structures and subordinate clauses, which is very rare in women's writing.

To put it bluntly, even elementary school students' compositions often reflect the writer's gender habits in terms of word choice and tone rhythm.

The love letter she wrote to Lisia was not only written in a grammatically masculine style, but even the handwriting was typical of men.

This is not a stereotype, but a statistical issue.

Could it be that besides being an aluminum-copper, she is also a transgender person?
Is she biologically female but psychologically male?
He really didn't waste his time in the US; he's the chosen one.

The Rainbow faction has received an epic buff.

To respect her gender identity, it seems we'll have to use "Ta" as a substitute from now on.

However, when Ta disappeared, the Occupy Wall Street movement had not yet begun, Wharton Business School had not yet started advocating DEI, BlackRock had not yet introduced ESG into Aladdin, and various equality groups had not yet received large-scale funding.

But if that's the case, since they've already reached the main plane, why not just use permanent shapeshifting to become a man directly?

As a legend of the Life School, Lysia should have no problem casting a nine-ring permanent transformation spell on him, turning him completely into a man, right?

"Yuzu, did you already know Adrian was a woman? I remember you said before that you had seen her when she was still a low-level mage, right?"

Fang Yu released the mouse, rolled his eyes, and turned to Yuzi.

See? “To xx” is a writing habit of men.

"I'm innocent! Master!" Yuzu cried out, "I have seen her before, but I had no idea she was a woman!"

"He was dressed and sounded like a man at the time, and it's very offensive to use identification techniques on strangers. I really don't know how."

The clothes and voice are male?
Fang Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. His previous caution was still necessary. This gossip did not have a substantial impact on his plans; it was just a matter of adjusting some details.

The key point is to find out how Adrian created the "warlocks"!

………………

Haixi, Yuzi Technology.

The grapefruit on the experimental table shimmered with a yellow light, clearly no longer shocked, and had returned to its normal state.

“35个创生仓中的残存DNA已经分析完毕，可提取完整基因组样本数量共29份，按照1-29进行编号，遗传数据重构完整度为94.2%~99.8%之间。”

"Among the 29 fully reconstructed samples, the whole genome sequence fit was as high as 99.99187%, with high overlap in STR sites, SNP mutation profiles, and mitochondrial sequences, indicating that all 29 samples originated from the same genetic template."

"After comparing the whole genome with the 'Adrian Akani' sample with the code HM-BF-990204 in the sample library, the sequence similarity was 99.98%, which is a very high degree of fit."

"Therefore, based on the residual DNA samples collected so far in the creation chamber, it can be basically determined that Adrian's clones were once cultured in the creation chamber."

"Mitochondrial DNA alignment results show that Mildore's mitochondrial sequence is completely identical to clone 18."

"Furthermore, this sequence is specific to the entire database, which can exclude other maternal origins and is sufficient to confirm that it is a direct descendant of No. 18."

Is Mildran a descendant of Number 18? Then was her paternal ancestor a bald man without a nose?

"Although there are no more 'warlock' samples available for analysis, based on the intelligence currently available in Grandal and the DNA sequencing results in Mildorean, it is highly likely that all 'warlocks' are descendants of Adrian Akani's clone from 16,000 years ago."

Fang Yu's expression remained unchanged after listening to Youzi's report.

Ever since he learned a couple of days ago that Mildora's mitochondrial DNA was the same as Adrian's, and considering the many creation chambers in the life science lab that showed obvious signs of use, he had already made this guess. Now he was just verifying it.

Fang Yu is a man of action. After having this guess, he immediately went to the life laboratory and collected DNA residues from 35 creation chambers.

The results were obvious: 29 valid samples were extracted from 35 creation chambers, all of which were clones of Adrian!

As for Adrian's motivation for doing so, it is most likely because he foresaw the great catastrophe of the Great Arcane Age and wanted to preserve the seeds of arcane civilization through various means.

And also, the ability to survive.

Another possibility is that he/she originally saw himself/herself as the savior and seed of the arcane civilization.

If that's the case, it would explain why they didn't selectively switch.

This is because the genetic diversity of Y chromosomes is far less than that of mitochondrial DNA.

In modern humans, women have twice as many reproductive individuals as men. In all disasters, women have a significantly higher survival rate than men, resulting in far greater diversity in mitochondrial DNA compared to Y chromosomes.

If Adrian wanted to increase the chances of survival for his offspring, who were born with the ability to cast spells, making his clones female was the most mathematically efficient method.

Even if that catastrophe was an indiscriminate attack, the advantage of women's higher survival rate would still be evident in the chaos that followed.

If being a woman increases your survival rate by 200%, only an idiot would choose to be a man.

It might be hard for others to understand, but if you put yourself in the shoes of an arcane fanatic like Adrian, it doesn't seem so difficult to comprehend.

The only question is how Adrian inherited his spellcasting ability through bloodline.

The warlock was the only intelligent being Fang Yu had encountered since mastering arcane arts, besides himself and Nabasu, who could cast spells on their own.

All other supernatural beings capable of casting spells essentially gain the right to request divine magic from the gods by sacrificing their spiritual power to the "gods".

Only warlocks, when casting spells in Mildran, could Fang Yu clearly sense that this power originated from themselves.

Since Mildran's body was that of an ordinary person, this power placed an extremely heavy burden on her body, which is one of the reasons why most sorcerers have short lifespans.

Of course, there are more than just this one reason why warlocks rarely live past thirty. The genetic instability of cloned offspring and the constant mental torment they have to endure are also very important factors.

Fang Yu could sense that the sorcerer's spiritual power was not much higher than that of an ordinary person, but since the sorcerer had no faith, he obviously did not need to sacrifice his spiritual power, and there were no names of these sorcerers in the God of Wealth system.

Fang Yu is now the administrator of the God of Wealth system, and these "sorcerers" did not invoke the spell model in the God of Wealth system when casting spells.

Fang Yu also considered whether Adrian had left a backdoor in the God of Wealth system for his "descendants".

However, after Yuzu detected all the interfaces of the God of Wealth system, it can be confirmed that the "warlock's" spellcasting is indeed unrelated to the God of Wealth system.

Out of caution, Fang Yu has only analyzed Mir's blood using modern scientific methods until now, but it now seems that it is impossible to obtain concrete results without using arcane methods.

Fang Yu sighed, took out a red and gold helmet from under the table, and put it on his head.

Anyone who sees this will exclaim in surprise, "Here comes the king!"

Momotaros, lend me a hand!
"The Helmet for Scientific Internet Access," a level 3 arcane equipment developed by Fang Yu himself.

The only purpose of this chuunibyou helmet is to prevent others from tracing back to one's sea of ​​consciousness along the path of mental energy when using spells or mental energy detection.

The basic principle is similar to that of an airport or a ladder; the helmet is equivalent to a proxy server or a botnet controlled by a hacker.

In other words, this helmet was specifically designed to protect against those "gods".

Although it's highly likely that those gods have no way to deal with him, Fang Yu doesn't want to gamble.

Now that he has begun to delve into the deepest secrets of this world, the danger is much greater than when he first entered the arcane world.

A year ago, Fang Yu launched a switch right under Vernes's nose and almost had his lair discovered by her. Since then, Fang Yu has been thinking about how to minimize the risk of being exposed to the "god's" gaze.

This "scientific internet access helmet" is one of the countermeasures.

Even if someone discovers Fang Yu's magic and mental detection, the tracking and counterattack can only find the helmet, and cannot lock onto Fang Yu's real body in the first place.

Fang Yu opened his sea of ​​consciousness, and three thousand six hundred threads of spiritual power twisted and drilled into the helmet.

This is also the maximum mental intensity that the helmet for accessing the internet by circumvention can currently withstand.

However, it's enough.

For watching a movie, there's not much difference between gigabit and 10-gigabit networks.

Three seconds later, the helmet's two large compound eyes suddenly lit up, emitting a dazzling red light.

Fang Yu picked up the remaining half-tube of Mil's blood sample, and the red light emitted from his compound eyes seemed to be concentrated entirely in this half-tube of blood.

As if rendered using Maya, Fang Yu's mental power first saw patches of platelets like clouds. As the camera zoomed in, he could see red blood cells, white blood cells, and other functional cells lazily floating in a liquid ocean.

Delving deeper, one discovers that this ocean itself is composed of different substances.

The quality of red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma is not high, but this is normal for a warlock and nothing strange about it.

Through the VPN, Fang Yu's mental energy acted like a net, sifting through the abnormalities in Mildoran's blood again and again.

After screening three times, Fang Yu still couldn't find anything noteworthy about Mir's blood, and couldn't help but click his tongue.

It seems that no problem can be detected through blood tests.

Could it be spirituality?
Adrian imbued his clones with the innate ability to cast spells by modifying their spirituality.

But spirituality cannot be inherited; it is all assigned by the astral planes and takes 16,000 years to be passed down, which is almost impossible to achieve.

It seems we still need to go to Grandal to observe the spellcasting of a few "sorcerers" again, checking their spirituality, mental strength, DNA, and so on, to see what the problem is.

Fang Yu casually shook the half-bottle of blood, about to destroy it, when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Some of the B/T cells in the blood became abnormally active, as if they had been startled, and even some of them... became distorted!
Eh? What's going on?
B/T cells are autologous lymphocytes and also the two most important types of immune cells.

B cells are responsible for producing antibodies, while T cells act as special forces, directly fighting against harmful substances that invade the body.

One is responsible for humoral immunity, and the other is responsible for cellular immunity.

The most popular CAR-T therapy right now involves modifying T cells to directly attack specific cancer cells and other special cells marked with specific sites, thereby achieving self-healing.

When blood sloshes, B/T cells produce a stress response, and it's not surprising that they become overactive, but the strange distortion of the cells is clearly abnormal.

The mental energy emanating from the compound eye was entirely concentrated on the B cells in the test tube.

As the camera zoomed in, the cell membrane on the surface of the B cells, which had previously appeared fairly round, began to become pitted and uneven, and the cytoskeleton and nucleus inside the cytoplasm were also fully revealed to Fang Yu!
This is……

! ! ! ! ! ! !

curse!!!!!!
Fang Yu stared in disbelief at the cytoskeleton that was constantly wriggling inside the cytoplasm. The cytoskeleton, which was originally composed of actin and signal transduction networks, was now made up of tiny wriggling runes!
The transcription factors, which are originally responsible for gene rearrangement in the cell nucleus, also have several tiny runes attached to their surface!

Oh my god!
Adrian used curses to cast the spell!
