After the darkness!

in the room.

Lin Yijue squatted down and observed the bamboo rats he had brought back.

The latter was very lively when it was first bought from the market, but after so long, it has become somewhat tired.

When the black cloth was lifted, these little creatures were staring at him with blood-red eyes.

Lin Yijue took out some small seaweed that the vendor had given him as a free gift and threw it into the cage.

The group of bamboo rats, who had been watching him warily, were taken aback, seemingly not expecting the two-legged giant monster in front of them to do this.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, they looked at each other with bloodshot eyes.

Somewhat at a loss.

A few seconds later, seemingly driven by hunger and unable to suppress their instinct to eat, the first few bamboo rats began to tentatively move toward the seaweed in the cage.

She would occasionally stare at Lin Yijue with her big eyes.

Seeing that the huge two-legged monster in their eyes seemed completely unaware of their small movements, they slowly began to move their bodies.

Ten seconds passed.

They haven't been noticed yet.

The range of motion is getting larger and larger.

finally…

Swish!

A group of bamboo rats simultaneously scurried to the edge of the cage, each grabbing a piece of seaweed and munching on it with their large teeth.

Its originally fierce, blood-red eyes softened, and it began to chirp happily.

Lin Yijue smiled, then took out the Black Tide Core Extract from the safe, took out a few drops, dripped them into a small bowl containing purified water, and handed it in as well.

Having witnessed the algae firsthand, these little creatures, though still wary of him, had lost their vigilance in the face of food.

Before long, it began licking the water in the bowl.

"This is a necessary test, and the results will take time to verify."

Seeing this, Lin Yijue knew what was going on.

Kuroshio nuclear extract is undoubtedly a good thing.

Whether using Ash Flower or Black Tide Crystal as raw materials, it can mitigate the negative effects of phages while greatly ensuring their high metabolism.

Simply put, it allows infected individuals to enjoy the enhancements brought by the phagocytosis, while avoiding the negative effects.

The difference between the two types of raw materials only exists at the moment of deformation.

Therefore, for those infected with the phagocytic infection, this thing can be considered a treasure.

According to Wang Mingde's data records, phages are like a double-edged sword; for the vast majority of infected individuals, the negative effects far outweigh the positive ones.

It's somewhat like the T-virus from the previous Resident Evil series. While it can enhance the functions of the infected, it can also lead to the corruption of their will, eventually turning them into monsters.

However, after using the Kuroshio nuclear extract, the side effects were greatly reduced, leaving only the property of enhancing bodily functions.

If we disregard deformation, ordinary infected individuals could become martial arts geniuses directly with this thing.

After all, with the same eighteen basic techniques, condensing and refining Ming Jin to become a martial artist, relying on the high metabolism of the consuming body, the strength of the infected host can directly reach 300KG or even 400KG, while ordinary people only have less than 200KG.

It's practically equivalent to being born with superhuman strength.

Add to that the growth of other four-dimensional attributes, what else could this be but genius?

Moreover, it was him...

If the negative effects can truly be eliminated, it's equivalent to having unlimited fatigue points to farm without any triple pain. The training effect would definitely be 1+1>2.

"Now we just have to wait for the verification results, and then we can try it." Lin Yijue was filled with anticipation.

I rolled over into bed, pulled the covers up, glanced once more at the little ones under the bed, closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep.

New cattle district.

In a high-end residential community, in the top-floor duplex apartment on the south side.

In the practice room on the top floor, Xiao Ran, wearing boxing gloves, frantically attacked the training dummy in front of him. After throwing more than ten punches, he took a step back and then stepped forward, delivering a three-kick combo with his right foot.

The training dummy's lower body, chest, and neck instantly caved in, and the entire dummy tilted backward, taking a full two minutes to bounce back and recover.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, sat on the ground panting heavily, and stared intently at the doll.

To be precise, it was a photograph staring at the doll's head.

It was a photo of a student in a school uniform.

The boy looked dazed and innocent, like a harmless animal.

The person in my memory is a completely different person.

"So you've been pretending all along, what are you pretending for!"

Anger surged within her, as if she had returned to that day, imagining the scene from that time.

Those people watched as she was thrown to the ground like a sandbag.

At that time, she was unable to resist, had no strength at all, and could only lie on the ground like a dead dog.

Even with just a rough recollection, she seemed to hear countless whispers.

A tingling, needle-like sensation suddenly appeared on my back.

"Die! All of you, die!"

Xiao Ran suddenly sprang up from the ground and launched a flying kick, aiming directly at the photo on the doll's head.

Bang!

The doll's head was kicked and deformed.

However, because Xiao Ran had not held back any strength, he was unable to maintain his balance and fell to the ground with a sudden fall.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, gritted her teeth, and endured the pain as she prepared to get up.

Just as she was about to get up, the photo on the doll's head met her gaze.

The person in the photo just calmly looked at her, who was lying paralyzed on the ground.

In an instant, my defenses crumbled.

"Idiots! They're all idiots!"

She suddenly lost all strength and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

Outside the training room.

Next door is a study.

Not long after, a figure came to the outside of the study and gently knocked on the door.

"The young lady was practicing her boxing, and then... she started crying."

"Do you know why?" someone in the study asked after a moment of silence.

"It might be something to do with the club. They held an internal sparring session a few days ago, and the young lady suffered some losses during the sparring..." The figure briefly recounted the events.

"Just because of such a trivial matter?" The person in the study was somewhat speechless.

"Is there anything we need to do?" the figure asked in a low voice.

The people in the room fell silent for a moment.

"No matter how precious a tree species is, in order to grow into a towering tree, in addition to the necessary care, it also needs to endure the wind and rain of nature."

"Have you found out who your sparring partner is?" the voice asked.

"It's been confirmed. She's a student at the same school as Miss He, and she also has some connections; her family works in the armed forces."

"The armed forces... As long as they're locals, everything's fine, but it's ultimately just kids' squabbles. It's not appropriate for adults to get involved." The voice softened slightly.

"Here's what we'll do. You talk to the club and ask them not to put the two of you in the same group if we have any more sparring sessions in the near future. I want that kid to be Xiao Ran's motivation during this training period."

After all, the pressure is a good thing for her at this time.

"I understand, I'll go and set it off right away..." the figure outside replied quickly.

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking." The person inside interrupted him. "Also, have them work on that kid's temperament over there, build up his foundation, so he won't be too rough during sparring."

"Arrange for the two of them to have a fair sparring session later,"

"understood."
