Chapter 504 Flesh and Blood Are Short, Mechanical Ascension
Mai Shiranui solemnly handed the small bottle containing Andy's hair tissue to Cheng Tian, ​​who also accepted the bottle with a serious expression.

Because Cheng Tian said that in public, Andy is now extremely wary of Mai Shiranui, giving her absolutely no chance to force herself on him and obtain direct descendants.

Unfortunately, Mai Shiranui had already found an opportunity to make her move on him long ago.

To avoid Andy discovering that she had secretly gone to Hammond's lab, Mai Shiranui went to great lengths to disguise herself... but her outstanding looks and figure rendered any disguise useless; it just so happened that Andy didn't notice.

But after hearing Cheng Tian's promise, she began to look forward to the day when the "Andy's exclusive estrus pheromone" would be synthesized.

Cheng Tian wasn't lying, because in the Dinosaur Strike dungeon, the laboratory guided the dinosaurs to reproduce naturally by releasing pheromones in a targeted manner.

As one of the few animals in nature that can go into heat at any time of day, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, humans are actually better able to control them than dinosaurs in this respect.

Of course, as a martial artist, Andy's will should be very firm. His firmness lies in his unwavering refusal to take responsibility even when Mai Shiranui proposed to him.

But it doesn't matter, Cheng Tian will choose to increase the dosage.

However, Mai Shiranui was unaware that there was another crucial prerequisite for creating targeted pheromones... namely, cultivating a clone of Andy!

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. While Cheng Tian was exchanging pleasantries with Mai Shiranui, Eileen, like a gentle breeze, had already quietly left the reception room and arrived at Utan's work laboratory.

Faced with Utan's astonishment, Eileen lowered her voice like a thief and whispered that she could make a pheromone spray to arouse Cheng.

Then he received a disdainful look from Utan.

"If you want to mate, just tell the boss. I don't think he'll refuse you. Why bother with all this trouble?"

"Oh dear~ What do you know~ She's a girl! She'll be shy~"

"...Is this something someone planning to drug someone would say?"

"This is different!"

As soon as Eileen finished speaking, the laboratory door opened, and the person who entered was the Red Moon Goddess Fina!

Fina and Eileen locked eyes and almost instantly caught the same emotion in each other's eyes.

"Two portions." Then Fina held up two fingers.

"Huh?" Utan scratched his head.

"Excuse me—" Bazett's wine-red hair appeared between Fina's wings.

“Three portions!” Fina confidently held up three fingers.

"Why don't you all just do it together? That way we can save on two sets of materials..."

Feeling that his work was being disrupted, Utan began to mutter to himself.

Because he was quite busy with work and didn't like crowds, Utan stayed in the lab during the competition, working while watching TV.

The assistants who transform the puppet troops can only help with the use of some of the most basic instruments; Utan himself still has to take the lead in all aspects of the project.

In order to avoid sudden death in the future, Utan has spent most of his energy these past few days uploading his thoughts and personality into the laboratory host in the form of data. If all goes well, he will probably have at least two more cybernetic clones by tomorrow.

Then we can distribute the existing work directly. As for the remaining small amount of energy, it is currently mainly used to modify the clone production line.

The clone production line obtained from the Shadow Organization was already very sophisticated in terms of clone manufacturing, but in Utan's view, there were still too many flaws.

The most serious of these is a condition called "abnormal shortening of telomere genes," which manifests as accelerated growth while also accelerating the aging process of the organism.

Both Shadow Luo's cloning technology and NESTS' cloning technology have almost the same drawback: all clones are short-lived.

From a biological perspective, this is unavoidable; the price of accelerated growth is inevitably accelerated aging. However, if we want clones to grow normally, we must spend the same amount of time cultivating them.

From the perspective of players who have to fight to the death in the main storyline every month, a 20-year clone breeding program is clearly not practical.

However, at this time, Hammond's Innovation Lab contained a device called the "Large Feng Shui Engine/Machine Doll Reserve Device," in which a total of 8 complete and immediately usable biochemical dolls lay quietly.

The term "bio-mechanical doll" already implies that they are beings that possess both flesh and mechanical components. These eight bio-mechanical dolls contain Vega's genetic components. Since they can use Vega's genes, they can naturally use the genes of other organisms as well.

Utan, who possesses the ability to create ancient metal beasts, is already rapidly mastering and absorbing the relevant technologies for creating bio-mechanical dolls.

In other words, Utan can not only transform living dinosaurs into Velociraptor warriors with both flesh and mechanical attributes, but also transform living humans into semi-mechanical, semi-flesh units similar to Maxima.

Moreover, initial results have already been achieved.

In the nutrient tank of the test subject codenamed Spider, Han Zhuli, whose body had completely emitted a metallic luster, floated quietly.

"It's a bit strange..."

In the boss's office, Cheng Tian stuffed a greasy piece of pig's blood along with some limp chives into his mouth, a subtle expression on his face.

Because its HP self-recovery rate actually increased!
Although it's only a minor buff of 0.1 per minute for 1 second, it does indeed increase the self-healing rate.

Moreover, whether it was due to the chef's skill and the ingredients, or because of his Daywalker bloodline, this bite of pig's blood actually gave him a unique taste.

Soon, Cheng Tian's chopsticks moved to the dragon blood sausage, which was made with the blood of a sword dragon containing the mutated spade. After taking a bite, Cheng Tian snapped his fingers, and a small flame appeared on his fingertip.

This time it wasn't an illusion; he really did have a 5-second blood buff above his head that granted "Spade Mutation +1%", which corresponds to a temporary boost to fire-type skills.

...Perhaps the effects are lost after the blood is cooked?
Cheng Tian was a little conflicted. Should he have someone send over a bag of chilled dragon blood? The blood of the giant serpent was quite precious, but he had plenty of this mutated dragon blood; he couldn't possibly use it all up.

But the projector phone that suddenly lit up interrupted Cheng Tian's train of thought.

Upon looking at the name, I realized it was Chizuru Kagura calling.

"Please help! I need to find someone!"

Kagura Chizuru gets straight to the point.

"Who are you looking for?"

Cheng Tian asked with some doubt.

"Kyo Kusanagi's girlfriend! Yuki!"
