"Eliminating defects and impurities at the genetic level..."

From a biological perspective, isn't the reason why humans have ordinary or flawed appearances simply due to genetic defects and diversity?

If using this could achieve the perfect state of the human genome...

Doesn't that equate to a comprehensive improvement in appearance?!

Thinking of this, Kuroe couldn't help but chuckle to himself:

"Hey, System. Didn't you just solemnly declare that you would never provide any vanity items that alter one's appearance? What's with this gene optimization fluid?"

Faced with Kuroe Minoru's teasing, the system remained silent for two seconds, then a barely perceptible stiffness seemed to seep into its cold electronic voice:

The core function of this tool is to increase muscle fiber density, nerve reaction speed, and bone toughness.

As for changes in appearance and improved looks, these are merely byproducts of the genetic optimization process.

Please don't put the cart before the horse.

"I understand what you mean."

Kuroe Minoru couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This system is actually quite arrogant!

They said no, but their bodies betrayed their intentions, stuffing the good stuff into the prize pool of the high-end lottery.

Without further ado, Kuroe Minoru conjured up an exquisite glass test tube containing an ice-blue liquid in his hand with a thought.

Pulling out the stopper, Kuroe Mitsu tilted his head back and drank the gene optimization solution in the test tube in one gulp.

The liquid didn't taste strange; instead, it had a faint minty aroma.

As soon as it entered his throat, Kuroe felt a warm current quickly spread from his esophagus to his limbs and bones.

It felt like soaking in a hot spring, gently soothing every cell in his body.

"Phew...that feels so good..."

Along with this feeling of comfort, a strong sense of drowsiness washed over me like a tide.

Then, Kuroe Minoru's eyelids drooped, and he fell into a deep sleep on the sofa.

……

The next morning.

When Kuroe Minoru opened his eyes again, it was already seven in the morning.

He sat up from the sofa and stretched vigorously.

"Crackling and popping..."

With a series of cracking sounds like popping beans, Kuroe Minoru felt an unprecedented sense of lightness and power throughout his body.

He walked quickly to the mirror in the bathroom.

The person in the mirror, at first glance, is still "Kuroe Minoru".

But upon closer inspection, it can be seen that his skin has improved slightly and is not as rough as before.

Apart from that, the outline of her facial features has not changed much.

But Kuroe wasn't too disappointed, since the introduction said the optimization process would last a week.

This gradual change avoids any sense of incongruity and allows those around him to accept the changes subtly.

After washing up and changing into his Soubu University uniform, Kuroe Miki went out feeling refreshed.

Upon arriving at school, Hei Jiang put on the disciplinary committee member's armband and, as usual, conducted his morning patrol on campus.

Great, everything is as usual, no alarms were triggered.

Just as he was about to finish his morning rounds and return to the classroom to prepare for class.

"drop--!"

Suddenly, a system alarm went off in my mind!

【warn!warn! 】

[An extremely dangerous, non-human, malevolent life form has been detected approaching!]

[Target type: Insect - Pupae!]

[Target location: Abandoned woodland behind the school gymnasium!]

[Victim: Yukino Yukinoshita!]

[Host, please go immediately to stop the evil! Protect the life of the innocent girl!]

"An alien insect?!"

Kuroe Minoru's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression instantly became extremely solemn.

Worms are monsters from Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Not only are they inherently cruel, but they also kill humans and mimic the victims' appearances, and even replicate the victims' memories!

Even more terrifying is that once the pupal stage of the alien insect molts and evolves into an adult, it gains control over "Clock Up," which is super-speed.

Then they kill at such ultra-high speeds that cannot be detected by the human eye!

In terms of danger, it is even more troublesome than Orphinus!

"We absolutely must not let it shed its skin!"

Kuroe gritted his teeth, immediately turned around and became a blur, sprinting towards the woods behind the stadium.

……

Meanwhile, there is an abandoned woodland behind the stadium.

This place is rarely visited by students, and it is overgrown with weeds, making it exceptionally quiet.

But a stunningly beautiful girl with long, flowing black hair and a cool, aloof demeanor was crouching in front of a bush.

She was holding a small bag of cat food, which she carefully poured into a small plastic bowl.

Meow~

A stray orange cat emerged from the bushes, nuzzled Yukino's hand affectionately, and then lowered its head to eat.

Watching the kitten eat so adorably, Yukino's usually icy face showed a rare, gentle smile.

Like the first melting of ice and snow, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

Just then, a series of slightly heavy and stiff footsteps came from the entrance to the woodland.

Yukino's smile vanished instantly, replaced by her usual aloofness.

She stood up and turned to look.

A student wearing the uniform of Zongwu University was walking towards her step by step with his head down.

Yukino frowned slightly, said nothing, and calmly withdrew her gaze.

This is a public place; she can't just tell people not to come over, can she? Besides, she's not that kind of person to begin with.

However, just as the boy walked to within five meters of Yukino...

"Meow—!"

The orange cat, which had been eating its cat food obediently, suddenly bristled and hissed, as if it had sensed something extremely terrifying.

Finally, forgetting even its favorite cat food, it darted into the depths of the bushes and disappeared without a trace.

Yukino was somewhat shocked to see this.

This is an orange tabby cat! It's almost the most gluttonous of all cat breeds.

And now it has actually abandoned the food and run away?

Yukino looked back at the boy with some suspicion.

Could this be cat abuse?

Yukino couldn't help but think.

The result was quite surprising.

The boy stopped walking, and his body began to twist and twitch in a bizarre manner.

"Click click click..."

Then, accompanied by a chilling sound of bones cracking, the boy's skin and school uniform were torn apart as if they were a thin sheet of paper!

Green slime splattered, and a monster covered in green tumors, resembling the larva of some giant insect, suddenly tore through the human's skin and appeared before Yukino!

"!!!"

Even Yukino Yukinoshita, who is usually as calm as ice, couldn't help but have her pupils shrink and her mind go blank for a moment when faced with this terrifying scene.

"Hiss—!"

The alien insect let out a piercing screech, brandishing its thick, sharp claws, and lunged at Yukino!

Yukino instinctively wanted to back away, but because she had been squatting for too long, her legs were slightly numb, and she accidentally fell down onto the grass.

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the woods not far away.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was particularly jarring in the quiet forest, instantly attracting the insect's attack, which even stopped.

First, there were three beeping sounds, like the beeping of a mobile phone button.

Immediately afterwards, an electronic voice announced "Standing By!" followed by a series of loud electronic pulses that echoed around the area.
