In Konoha, you get one evolution point every day.

Lin Fan's blood was bright red, and under the light in the test tube, it even had a slight sheen, making it look like a work of art.

To be honest, from the perspective of a professional researcher like Orochimaru, Lin Fan's blood is definitely super healthy. He has no bad habits and is even the kind of person who knows how to control himself in bed.

Of course, Orochimaru didn't reveal his judgment. After all, no matter how strong his judgment was, he still needed to use chakra to conduct a more detailed examination of Lin Fan's blood through instruments.

It was a control handle, similar to the one in a mecha's control room, where you could put your hand inside to operate it.

And an optometry device that looks like it's for checking eyesight.

The combination of these two allows you to clearly see the movement of blood cells directly through the glass.

After confirming that Lin Fan's cells were indeed healthy, Orochimaru wrote down his initial assessment: compatibility 70%.

Then, Orochimaru drew out a portion of the blood and placed it in a test cup. He then took out a minimum amount of the prepared Hashirama cells and dripped it into the test cup containing Lin Fan's blood.

After being dripped in, the blood, which was originally calm, appeared to boil as if an epic battle was taking place inside the cup.

After a few seconds, the battle of the test cups ended, and the originally bright red blood dimmed slightly.

Lin Fan asked, "How is it?"

Orochimaru shook the test cup, then checked the instrument again, and replied, "This is the weakest version of Hashirama cells. Your body can adapt, but even if your body can fuse with these cells, you won't awaken Wood Release."

After saying that, Orochimaru, under Lin Fan's gaze, took out another portion of Hashirama cells with a higher concentration and a more refined formula: "This portion will have a certain effect on the human body."

After this was dripped in, the blood showed a significantly stronger resistance to stress.

As time passed, a significant portion of the boiling blood was lost.

"Your affinity is 60%?" Orochimaru stared at Lin Fan in shock, his eyes almost treating Lin Fan as a test subject.

—So this is what an affinity score of 60 is like...

Lin Fan scratched his cheek: "So, I can awaken Wood Release now?"

This is the second serving.

"no."

Lin Fan: "..."

"To awaken Wood Release, you need a third one."

Orochimaru then took out the third portion of the prepared Hashirama cells.

But this time, when fresh blood was dripped into the Hashirama cells, the blood did not boil; instead, it turned into a stagnant pool.

But just as Lin Fan was about to ask a question, Orochimaru shushed him. Then he saw that almost in the blink of an eye, his blood was slowly absorbed by that drop of Hashirama cell, and then a tiny green sprout grew out.

"...So, I'm dead?" Lin Fan seemed to see his life as a Konoha experiment subject reincarnated.

Orochimaru nodded, then shook his head: "Your affinity is very high, estimated at 70%. The first time you succeeded, your blood showed no weakness whatsoever, a sign of over 40%. The second time, your blood suffered a setback, but ultimately prevailed, a sign of 60%. And now, your blood withstood Hashirama's No. 3 cell for several seconds, sprouting a living green shoot. This means your affinity is a staggering 75%!! Higher than my estimated 70%!! This is the first time I've seen such a high one!! Lin Fan, become the test subject! You will definitely become the next Wood Release ninja to survive!!!"

"Although... I don't want to."

Lin Fan refused outright.

Are you kidding me? 75%? I wouldn't agree to 99% either!

Orochimaru looked at Lin Fan with a regretful expression, as if he had missed out on some extremely valuable experimental subject.

Lin Fan then pondered for a moment.

"Then... if I only inject the second interstitial cell, will I survive?"

Orochimaru's answer, given almost without hesitation:

"There is a 99% survival rate."

"???"

What?! Cell #2 is 99% complete?!

"What about cell number 1?"

"99.99999999%... Stop! That's enough!"

Lin Fan stopped Orochimaru: "Why isn't it 100% yet?"

Orochimaru was speechless for a moment: "Have you ever seen anything with a 100% guarantee of not going wrong?"

Science is not a lottery.

Lin Fan was aware of this as well.

Think again.

He decided to become a test subject again.

......

The procedure for the experimental subjects is a bit complicated.

For the next few days, you should eat as little healthy food as possible and avoid strenuous daily exercise and training.

Once everything is ready, you will be taken to a laboratory where a specialist will perform a thorough disinfection and cleaning of your body.

"Um, Lord Lin Fan, is this pressure alright?"

Feel the rubbing sensation on your body:

"Yes, that's fine."

As Lin Fan responded, the blush on the face of the pharmacist, Nono, who was wearing a sterile gown, deepened.

Wearing a sterile gown, enter the specialized nutrient chamber, remove the remaining sterile gown, and directly touch the liquid inside the chamber with your bare skin.

Pharmacist Nonou retrieved the sterile gown that had floated to the surface and gave Orochimaru an OK sign.

At this point, the process of becoming a test subject is more than halfway complete. The remaining step is for the experimenter to inject the test subject with something that makes people perverted... a large dose of a sleeping agent.

The last thing the test subject saw was the mad scientist's smile.

Sleeping Lin Fan: "..."

......

On May 15th, Konoha Year 44, Lin Fan fell into a deep sleep, while Orochimaru laughed maniacally.

On May 16th, Konoha Year 44, Lin Fan remained asleep. Tsunade arrived at the scene and, upon learning that Orochimaru had conducted experiments on Lin Fan, was furious and nearly demolished the laboratory.

However, upon hearing that it was Lin Fan who had taken the initiative to request it, Tsunade hesitated for a moment. After confirming with Orochimaru several times that Lin Fan would be safe, she left.

Orochimaru had no intention of using only numbers 1 and 2 on Lin Fan. He apologized to Lin Fan and Tsunade in his mind and then continued to observe Lin Fan.

On May 20th, Konoha Year 44, as agreed with Lin Fan, the Uchiha clan and Tsunade held preliminary negotiations, and the law enforcement unit was officially established, divided into the Public Security Department, Tax Department, Industry and Commerce Administration Department, and Foreign Affairs Department.

The Public Security Department was managed by Uchiha Mikoto.

The Business Administration Department is headed by Uchiha Fugaku.

Law enforcement agencies are not limited to the Uchiha clan; anyone can apply, as long as they meet the application requirements.

On May 21st, Konoha Year 44, law enforcement agencies were recruiting. When it was learned that "anyone" and not "any ninja" could apply, the entire village of Konoha fell into absolute silence. Many ordinary people who met the criteria could not believe that they could one day become so-called "nobles".

On May 22nd, Konoha Year 44, Mikoto also came to Orochimaru's place to take a look at Lin Fan, who was sleeping in the nutrient tank. Upon seeing Mikoto, Orochimaru was silent for a moment, and then, thinking of Yakushi Nonou, who had been making excuses to visit Lin Fan these past few days... Orochimaru decided to take back his previous wedding wishes.
