I'm at the top of One Piece

He called out, picked up a piece of charcoal and handed it to Mercer, his black bean eyes full of sharing.

Mercer watched as the heat of the charcoal fire continued to force his skin to peel, and gave a dry laugh:

I appreciate your kindness, but I really can't do that.

Xiong Bao glanced at Messer with an expression that looked at him like he was a weakling. Seeing this, Messer's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"If you're so capable, go up to the second floor. There's delicious food in Doctor Dori's lab. Go and eat if you dare!"

Xiong Bao's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Mercer with a somewhat subtle expression. The next second, he let out a series of incomprehensible barks.

Moses narrowed his eyes.

With great interest, she pulled up Xiong Bao's round face and pinched a chubby little piece of flesh: "What do you mean? Judging from your expression, you went to have some fun?"

Bear Baby subtly shifted its gaze, looking guilty, and even moved its bottom back slightly, reflexively protecting its rear with one paw.

Mercer burst out laughing and patted Bear Baby's head.

"I never imagined you'd done something like this? Why didn't you tell me? Are you that brave?"

Xiong Bao rolled his eyes at Mercer, then angrily gulped down the charcoal, making a "crunching" sound as he chewed.

“You keep eating, I’ll go back and ask.” Since it was something interesting, how could Moses not find out? “I need to ask when you did this glorious feat.”

With that, Moses got up, dusted himself off, and walked toward the treehouse.

Hearing the furious "woof woof" from behind, the smile on his lips deepened.

After a while.

Mercer appeared in the second-floor laboratory and watched as Kureha dissected and examined a dead white mouse.

Under a high-powered microscope, there was a clump of flesh and blood tissue that was vaguely wriggling.

On the lab table to the side, there is an "APTX 4869" capsule that has already been disassembled.

You can see that the capsule contains transparent, colorless granules.

"Has the experiment already begun?" Mercer asked.

Kureha replied without turning her head, "It's a rather interesting drug. It induces programmed cell death, but at the same time enhances the activity of telomerase in the body."

"However, the lab mouse didn't make it and died immediately, but I did notice that."

"This drug is like Pandora's box; it's incredibly interesting, as it has the effect of targeted inducing reverse cell growth."

While busy at work, Kureha casually explained her new discovery to Mercer using technical jargon.

They also took the opportunity to expand on the mythological story of "Pandora's Box".

Mercer listened to these myths and legends with a completely bewildered expression; many of the myths and legends in this world were quite strange.

It contains myths and legends that Moses had heard in his previous life, such as those from the Bible, Greek mythology, and Norse mythology.

There are also some local indigenous myths and legends, such as Nika and the Seven Star God.

There's always a strange sense of incongruity.

It has a kind of mixed bag feel to it.

It's as if Moses knew.

There is a church here.

There is a temple.

There is a shrine maiden.

Is the Bible in the hands of Bartholomew the Great Bear?

Charlotte Linlin's Homie, a soul named after a figure from Greek mythology.

The name Elbaf comes from Norse mythology.

The mythological names of the three ancient weapons are Poseidon, Pluto, and Uranus.

What kind of base on the moon?

What kind of intelligent stone golem can shoot lasers?

The various phenomena in this world gave Moses the feeling of a world rebuilt on a wasteland after a great cataclysm.

"Could it be that the world we live in now is like the world after the dinosaur extinction in my previous life, where millions or tens of millions of years ago there was an even more brilliant civilization?"

"But why did the Great Annihilation occur?"

Mercer thought to himself, then shook his head. These things were meaningless to him, and thinking too much about them was useless. He should focus on the present.

Kureha pulled her thoughts back from their wanderings and continued talking, not noticing Mercer's distraction. Rather than talking to Mercer, she was summarizing her own understanding of these things.

Mercer also took the time to ask about Bear Baby.

Kureha curled her lips and said with a look of disgust, "That bastard, when you went back to the East China Sea to visit your relatives, one day you ran up here by yourself, and I don't know what you were thinking, you took a bite out of my experimental equipment."

Then I gave him a good beating, and ever since then, he's been too scared to come up here again.

Mercer chuckled and said, "So you were the one who beat me up really badly."

"Kids need a good beating to learn their lesson, right?"

"Then why don't I remember being beaten up by you?"

"Oh, what's up?" Kureha raised an eyebrow, busy with her experiments, but glanced at Messer when she had a spare moment. "Want me to help you have more pleasant childhood memories?"

“Let’s forget about it then.” Mercer shook his head. “Let’s avoid those kinds of memories; they’re definitely a dark history.”

"Since you're just sitting around doing nothing, come over and lend me a hand."

"Go get me a newt, I'll use this to experiment."

Mercer put on a pair of medical gloves, took a salamander, and began to assist Kureha with the experiment, feeding her "APTX 4869" granules, observing her physiological condition, and recording data.

A few minutes later, the salamander died.

Then, using a scalpel, she precisely dissected the flesh and blood of different body areas and placed them under a microscope for Kureha to observe the samples.

The conclusion was stated orally and recorded by Moses.

During the experiment, Moses said, "Oh, by the way, Dr. Doriel, could you prepare some of the medicine from the 'Raven Taming Manual' for me tomorrow?"

"I'll need it then."

"Do you want to keep crows?" Kureha asked, then nodded.

"No problem, but we're short of some of the medicinal herbs at home. Go to Skye town tomorrow to buy some."

"Okay, I see."

time flies.

After the experiment, Messer and Kureha went back downstairs to wash up and go to sleep.

……

The next day.

I've had breakfast.

Mercer went to the herbalist shop in Skena and bought more than a dozen doses of medicine.

Bring it back to Kureha.

Today is a sunny day.

The sun in the sky looked exceptionally bright.

Mercer and Bear walked through the snowy forest, where snow piled up on the tall pine trees, shimmering with colorful halos under the sunlight.

Mercer looked around for signs of birds.

Since the pine cones are not yet ripe this season, there aren't many birds in the pine forest.

I did see some small animals like snow chickens and snow rabbits.

Mercer walked through the woods and watched as Bear Baby, who was a dozen meters away with a snow chicken in his mouth, came running over and handed him the still-alive snow chicken.

Looking at Xiong Bao's hungry face, as if he wanted to roast it for him, I noticed that Xiong Bao looked very hungry.

Moses had a good idea and said with a smile, "You eat it, and then show it on yourself so I can see?"

Xiong Bao stared blankly, tilted his head to look at Xiang Meise, and made a "Huh?" sound.

Does that mean it's still possible to do this?

Moses nodded affirmatively, and had an even more interesting idea: if successful, he might be able to manifest a new gift ability.

Bear Cub has never tried swallowing live prey since birth, except for bamboo worms.

Seeing the curiosity in Messer's eyes, Bear Baby pondered for a moment, then finally made up his mind, opened his mouth, and swallowed a large mouthful.

"Ah-"

With a sharp crowing sound, it was swallowed by Xiong Bao.

Looking at the bear cub staring at him expectantly, Mercer taught him:

"Imagine that, just like the weapon you eat, the snow chicken's body manifests on your body."

Seeing the thoughtful look in Xiong Bao's eyes, a chicken head quickly appeared on his chest and loudly clucked.

Suddenly, Xiong Bao shuddered, a look of panic appearing on his face. He grabbed the chicken's head with his paw and squeezed it tightly. Mercer heard a "crack".

Then the chicken head on its chest disappeared, but immediately afterward, Xiong Bao's two arms changed into a pair of chicken wings.

Xiong Bao's eyes lit up, and he flapped his chicken wings in place.

Moses's face darkened.

Within seconds, Xiong Bao's face showed a wronged expression, "Waaah!"

He was explaining why he couldn't fly.

Mercer put his hand to his forehead, speechless and laughing, "How big are you? And how big are your chicken wings?"

Besides, snow chickens can't fly, they can only glide at most. Try it yourself if you don't believe me.

Following Mercer's advice, Xiong Bao vigorously flapped its two chicken wings.
