Chapter 386 Clever Tricks to Be Unethical

Cheng Tian didn't know much about genetic diseases and bloodline curses.

If it's a genetic disease... leukemia? Lupus?

Are werewolf transformations and vampire blood-sucking also considered bloodline curses?
However, compared to these two relatively unfamiliar things, the ability to repair missing organs and limbs is obvious, and the maximum of three repair opportunities gives a lot of room for error.

Of course, in the repair list of the gene repair slot, organ and limb repair is indeed the easiest, and there are quite a few substitutes. However, in terms of gene diseases and bloodline curses, the things that can be treated are very rare.

However, compared to the gene repair tank in Cheng Tian's possession, the larval breeding tank that Eileen plundered is the one most worth discussing.

To put it simply, this is a resurrection point. Although it has drawbacks such as reduced strength and loss of all equipment and items, as long as you don't care about the Ship of Theseus, this thing is an extra life. You can even use it to forcibly escape the current danger and have more chances to start over.

But for Cheng, whose mind was filled with even more strange ideas, he felt that the most useful application of this larval incubation tank might not just be for rebirth through breeding.

Cheng Tian first opened the relevant panel of Hammond Innovation Lab, went through it from top to bottom, and the strange idea in his mind became clearer and clearer. Then he spoke to Comrade Eileen beside him.

"If, and I mean if, gene fragment interference were performed in the early stages of embryonic development, and the bloodline modification were completed before full development, would the reborn backup body be considered to have already completed the bloodline purification task?"

"Ah this..."

Upon hearing Cheng Tian's hypothesis, Eileen instinctively thought about it for a moment, then quickly became wise.

The overly complex assumptions caused her to momentarily freeze.

Right, is that right?
No, no... Oh, right, right!

The intelligent expression on her face had just faded, and Eileen, who was about to refute Cheng Tianyi's words, suddenly recalled her purification process.

In a broader sense, her own elven bloodline purification was achieved by going through the process of "being conceived and born" again with the help of the World Tree. According to her master, she was like a silkworm cocoon wrapped in leaves hanging on a branch of the World Tree, pulsating, expanding, growing, and finally breaking out of the cocoon to become an elven spirit.

Cheng Tian's thought process is not problematic; if there is any problem, it is a technical one.

"...Wait a minute, do you have that technology?"

Having found a solution, Eileen immediately pointed to the most crucial part of Cheng Tian's hypothesis.

"I still have an entire innovation lab and a highly skilled research fellow."

Theoretically, laboratories can only study paleontology, but Fessenden has already mastered the technology of fusing and switching human and dinosaur genes. It's just a matter of whether he's willing to do it, or how long he can hold out.

Cheng Tian paused at this point, then offered a brief explanation.

"I don't have any plans to change my bloodline right now, but just in case, it's good to work on a backup machine. That way, I can make a comeback much faster if necessary."

Before she could finish speaking, Eileen's hand, which had become delicate again due to the purification of her bloodline, was smeared onto Cheng Tian's mouth.

"What nonsense are you spouting! It's bad luck! Bah! Bah!"

The half-elf stuck out his tongue and spat.

Cheng Tian swallowed the rest of his words, which were still mumbling under his breath, but his desire to research the larval incubation tank did not diminish. He genuinely believed that the idea was feasible.

After the two finished looting the two cultivation tanks, all the items in the entire base fell into an unlootable gray state. However, unlike the Moth Cave, there was no looting from other forces here, no self-destruct countdown, and even the experienced Cheng Tian avoided the problem of the base being flooded when he crawled through the outer wall.

Items can no longer be taken out of the instance as "portable items," but this does not affect their use within the instance, just like the ordinary ambulances borrowed in Metal Slug.

Cheng Tian felt it was necessary to bring Wu Tan here.

However, before that, there are still a large number of dinosaur carcasses in this area waiting for Cheng Tian to collect!
……

Using the large map for fast travel, Cheng Tian and Eileen returned to the swamp jungle.

For Cheng Tian and Eileen, this quick trip back and forth only involved switching scenes twice, but for the instance itself, it actually took them more than 12 hours in total.

This amount of time was enough for the situation in the swamp jungle to change drastically.

In short, the dragon hunter camp in the swamp jungle is currently facing a monster siege!

But we still need to explain the specific cause and process first.

Currently, a considerable number of temporary stalls have appeared on the opposite side of the main entrance to the laboratory, and the camp, which was originally mainly for dragon hunters, has been separated from many groups and individuals of different sizes who are clearly not dragon hunters.

Without a doubt, they all came for the laboratory.

Whether it's the fake taming capabilities demonstrated by Hammond Innovation Lab or the real humanoid combat weapons, they are enough to attract a large number of outsiders, regardless of their intentions.

However, as Cheng Tian instructed, the laboratory would not receive anyone during his absence, and everyone was turned away directly.

These rejected groups were clearly not giving up, and since they had no real need to hunt dragons, they simply stayed there.

With more people, demand also increases.

As I said before, the chances of those dreamers who mine for gold getting rich are extremely low, but those who sell food, drinks, and daily necessities can make a living to some extent.

Food, drinks, tents for sleeping, mosquito repellent incense, toilet paper, and so on—things that are readily available in human cities because of their industrial systems—become precious in this desolate wilderness. If you don't want to suffer, you have no choice but to pay money.

However, even within this relatively harmonious and rational group, there emerged a group of idiots who tried to force their way into the laboratory.

To put it simply, although the world of Cinnamon & Dinosaur still retains a certain social system, its popular behavioral logic is quite similar to Fist of the North Star. At least in the United States, where the name is no longer fitting, the official deterrent power may sometimes be less than that of some armed small groups.

These small to medium-sized criminal gangs, relying on their henchmen and equipped with dinosaur-themed weapons, are the most likely to be blind to reality. So when they chose to storm the laboratory, the dinosaur hunters, who had survived various dangerous situations and had a very clear understanding of danger, did not choose to cause trouble in the chaos. Instead, they all waited on the sidelines, wanting to see what kind of response Cheng Tian's laboratory security department would take.

More precisely, they wanted to see what the Tyrannosaurus Rex in the lab would do.

As a result, the dragon didn't see anything, but it did see the laboratory send out a pair of young women, one with dark skin and the other with fair skin.

Just as they were about to mock the lab for having no work, the small group that had stormed the lab was wiped out by two women in front of everyone.
