In any case, with the perception of the incantation and the enhancement to the body after the bloodline awakening, at least he won't be trampled to death by Deadpool like a roadside animal, like the original owner did.
However, bloodline awakening is a very luck-dependent and unreasonable thing. It's like the races in the Ark. You can only awaken if you are born a hybrid. If you are not, you can only be an ordinary person for the rest of your life.
Logically speaking, humans in the Dragon World should all carry some Dragon bloodline genes. If that's the case, could they awaken their bloodline by stimulating it with the power of the Blood Demon?
It's definitely worth a try, isn't it?
Chapter Thirty: Blood
"You've reminded me of something."
Kroos, with one hand on her chin, leaned close to Zhao Zizhan: "I noticed it yesterday. The blood in your body is a little different. Although it's generally more like the Doctor's, there's a faint... Draco-like quality to it."
"Very strange"
Kroos scratched her head: "While I am indeed a Blood Demon, I'm not very good at this... How about this, I'll take you to Warfarin, she should have a solution!"
As a blood mage, Kroos is undoubtedly not very qualified. She prefers studying mechanics and software to blood magic and doesn't like communicating with people.
丿0?卍⒉ノ╲彡0乆捌
What makes Kroos the least typical of a Blood Demon is that, compared to the very respectable and neat attire of other Blood Demons, her slovenly appearance is simply unbearable.
( 1 xun ) ⑶
Hearing Kroos agree, Zhao Zizhan quickly nodded and followed.
But unexpectedly, Kroos suddenly stopped, and Zhao Zizhan almost crashed into her.
"I said, if I help you this time, you'll help me set up a purchasing department, right?"
Zhao Zizhan: "..."
Seeing that Zhao Zizhan did not respond, Lucille raised her voice: "Right!?"
"Yes, yes, as long as you can help me, I will definitely help you!" Zhao Zizhan quickly replied. Good heavens, this Kroos is really different from others; she really loves money!
To get things done by this kind of person, you need to be thoroughly familiar with Stiepunk's theories and the methods of the Jade Throne and Golden Buddha.
"Okay, then follow me!" After receiving Zhao Zizhan's affirmative reply, Kroos happily hummed a song and led Zhao Zizhan toward the medical department.
In her mind, she could already see herself making a fortune in the future.
Zhao Zizhan followed Kroos and looked at the chief engineer. He felt that the other party was surprisingly simple and capable. The Rhodes Island operators he had met these days were also very pure and easy to talk to. They were completely unlike the elite type that he used to have in mind, who seemed to be able to see through you with just one word.
Most of the time, these elite operators on Rhodes Island act like a group of abstract netizens and children.
The kind of thing you can use to trick people into buying insurance when they get old.
Of course, if Zhao Zizhan really thinks that way, then he is the kind of person who would buy EVA limited edition health supplements when he gets old.
People just don't have ulterior motives towards their own people, not that they are naive.
One advantage of following the chief engineer is that you can see that there are actually so many shortcuts within Rhodes Island. Kroos led Zhao Zizhan by swiping cards and taking shortcuts, arriving at the medical department in a much easier way than usual. The medical department was bustling with activity at the moment, with medical staff conducting random physical examinations on the staff and treating patients they had taken in along the way. As for Kal'tsit, she was in the operating room.
Arriving at Warfarin's office, the deputy GOAT of the medical department was transforming into Beethoven in front of the computer. If it weren't for the large number of medical terms on the computer that he couldn't understand, he would almost think that this woman was having a three-way explosion, a piano, a canyon that was more beautiful than Vienna, a high ground that collapsed, a family tree that was sealed, and a spring that was comparable to the martial arts world.
We talked about our parents, the past, the future, and the present, until we were speechless.
"Hmm? It's you two?" Warfarin stopped what she was doing and looked at Kroos and Zhao Zizhan as they walked in. "What can I do for you?"
"Warfarin, could you take a look at this child? I have a feeling something's wrong."
Upon hearing Kroos's words, Warfarin turned her gaze to Zhao Zizhan—she had been trying hard not to look at him, afraid that her tears would spill from the corners of her mouth.
Upon closer inspection, Warfarin also realized that something was amiss.
"Hmm? What have you been up to lately?" Warfarin leaned closer to Zhao Zizhan, scrutinizing him closely. "Completely different from when you came for your physical exam... You have a faint Draco scent now, but that attraction you had for me hasn't disappeared... Interesting..."
Zhao Zizhan was somewhat stunned. What did that mean? Did he really have dragon blood in his body? And the amount had increased?
Could it be that my bloodline has awakened? But why don't I feel anything?
“Right, this child told me that he always felt something in his bloodline, but he couldn’t quite grasp it, so he wanted my help. But I’m not very proficient in blood magic, so it would be more accurate for you to take a look,” Kroos added from the side.
"A hidden bloodline...?" Warfarin frowned and thought for a moment before getting up and going to the equipment area to get a set of disposable blood collection equipment.
"Do you mind?" she asked Zhao Zizhan.
"Of course I don't mind," Zhao Zizhan said generously, extending his arm.
Unlike the silly image in the fan art, Warfarin is quite professional and charming in her actual work. Of course, she is a different person after work.
She skillfully pricked Zhao Zizhan's neck and collected a small tube of blood. Looking at the tiny tube of blood in the container, the two blood demons swallowed hard in unison.
"Ha, so you crave blood too? I thought you preferred engine oil." Warfarin mocked Kroos without any politeness.
"Hmph, better than you, you old vampire who drools over patients!" To the Blood Demons, the term "old vampire" is equivalent to "Brother Ni"—a term that can be used among their own kind to insult each other, but absolutely cannot be uttered by outsiders.
Before you start discriminating against the Blood Demon, you'd better consider whether you can beat him.
After the blood was drawn, there was still a drop of blood on Zhao Zizhan's arm. He originally wanted to wipe it off with a cotton swab, but Warfarin wiped it off with his finger, and the needle mark on his wrist also disappeared miraculously.
Warfarin put her fingers in her mouth and smacked them, her ruby-red pupils narrowing upwards: "Hmm... indeed, there's something else in your blood, very much like Draco's, but with some differences... hmm..."
But soon, Warfarin's expression changed: "This blood...smells a bit off."
Warfarin looked bitter, feeling as if she had suddenly eaten shit in a delicious dish, and her whole face scrunched up.
"You stay here for now. I need to conduct further blood tests. Your situation is complicated; the sudden increase in blood volume doesn't seem like a good thing for you..."
"Huh? What's going on? Is he in danger?" Kroos asked anxiously, her concern stemming partly from Zhao Zizhan and partly from the uncertainty of their future business dealings.
"It's still unclear at the moment; we'll have to wait for the test results. I can't say for sure whether it's good or bad, but at this level, it shouldn't pose much of a threat to the child's life. However... a higher level might change things."
Chapter 31: Deputy GOAT of the Medical Department
Zhao Zizhan was suddenly organized to have an expert consultation.
Thousand = Xunjiu ㈥0 ㈠ ㈡ ⑥ 弍七 ○
Senior medical personnel, including Warfarin and Touch, surrounded Zhao Zizhan and helped him onto the hospital bed before he could even react.
This sudden turn of events made Zhao Zizhan's heart pound with fear. He looked at the Touch operator beside him, his voice trembling as he spoke, "Doctor, my illness..."
"Ah, don't be nervous. Your current condition... well, it's a bit unusual, we've never seen anything like it before... we're planning to name this symptom after you."
Instead of offering comfort, Zhao Zizhan felt even colder. What did he mean by planning to name the disease after me?
In fact, Zhao Zizhan's current situation is indeed as Touch said. It's just that the blood sample is a bit strange. It doesn't have any impact on Zhao Zizhan himself. The reason for such a big fuss is that Zhao Zizhan is extremely important.
In just a few days, Zhao Zizhan’s importance and status within Rhodes Island rose again and again. Who could understand the sense of salvation that came from suddenly eating a pot of spicy hot pot after months of eating cold, hard potatoes and eggs on the ice field?
In short, after several meals, the Rhodes Island operators generally reached a consensus - Operator Zizhan is our treasure, if he is in trouble, then I am in trouble!
Of course, another important reason is the discovery of a completely new symptom.
For these pioneers in the medical field, discovering a completely new disease is more exciting than anything else.
While it may not be good for patients, it's fantastic for us doctors! A whole new research field, new topics for endless experimentation, and new papers to write at will!
Seeing Zhao Zizhan's increasingly strange expression, Warfarin rolled her eyes at Touch, annoyed: "If you have nothing to do, go and help find the X-ray films from the operators' physical examinations."
Touch's lips curled up slightly by two pixels before she turned away to attend to other things, seemingly indicating that her earlier attempt to scare Zhao Zizhan was purely a personal, wicked hobby.
"Don't worry about her, she's just trying to scare you. Your blood test results are in, and so far your body is perfectly normal. The reason we're making such a big fuss is because we want to study the effects of this new bloodline on you personally," Warfarin said, comforting Zhao Zizhan in her beautiful childlike voice while looking at the test report in her hand.
"As I expected... this new bloodline shares about 96% genetic similarity with Draco..."
As Zhao Zizhan lay in bed, he thought to himself that it was only 96%, whereas he had thought it would be 100%. It seems that the dragons in this dragon world are quite something.
"Don't take this data too seriously. Just like the genetic similarity between humans and pack animals is 87%, it doesn't mean we are pack animals, right?" Warfarin handed the test report to the medical operator behind her, and several operators huddled together to study the report.
"Alright, next we'll be conducting a few checks on you, including some necessary tests. If you have any work to do, it's best to ask your supervisor for leave."
"Of course, I don't think you need to go to work like us."
After having real contact with Warfarin, Zhao Zizhan admitted that he had a lot of prejudice against this deputy GOAT of the medical department. She was clearly an extremely professional and highly skilled doctor, not at all the kind of hundreds-year-old idiot who would wear black stockings and scratch his feet in those fan fictions.
Prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a mountain...
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Warfarin glanced around, then moved closer to Zhao Zizhan, her expression suddenly turning like that of a traitor stealing landmines: "Since you're going to have your blood drawn for testing anyway, could I have a lot more drawn? I'm really craving it..."
I take back what I said earlier.
"What are you talking about?" A cold, aloof voice sounded behind Warfarin, as if it had touched upon some strange, unsettling rule.
Warfarin jolted awake, turned around, and sure enough, saw the white-haired Hakimi standing calmly at the infirmary door, looking at her. She quickly stepped forward: "Ahaha, Kal'tsit, it's like this, we've discovered an unprecedented phenomenon of bloodline entanglement in this operator, Zizhan..."
Ignoring Warfarin, Kal'tsit took Zhao Zizhan's blood test report from the medical operator beside her: "This is completely different from the previous pre-employment test. Did something happen in between?"
Zhao Zizhan shook his head with a clear expression. Had his dragon bloodline awakened? He had absolutely no recollection of it, and if it had awakened, shouldn't his physical attributes have improved?
Why don't I feel anything at all?
Or was it already upgraded before?
After reviewing the test results, Kal'tsit stepped out of the treatment room and looked at Warfarin: "Tell me your guess."
As a blood demon and a top expert in the medical field, Warfarin's abilities allow her to see far more than what has been described so far.
Warfarin glanced at Zhao Zizhan, who was looking around the infirmary, through the glass, and without any hesitation, nodded and slowly began to speak:
"Based on my current intelligence analysis, this gene chain, which is highly similar to Draco's, has the same bad temper as Draco—exclusionary, domineering, and arrogant—but it is not as stable as Draco's genes. Its erosion of the host's blood is extremely high, almost completely replacing a part of the host's circulatory system, and subtly modifying the host's physical qualities using this. In other words, this thing can replace the host's original body."
"Currently, the blood in Operator Zizhan's body seems to be in a dormant period. If certain special conditions are met, it is possible that it will become active. At that time, Zizhan's entire body structure may undergo some unpredictable changes. I cannot be sure whether the result of the changes will be good or bad."
"However, what I can confirm is that once the proportion of this blood in Xiao Zizhan's body exceeds 50%, Xiao Zizhan's original genetic structure will be directly replaced by this thing. At that time, what comes back to life is very likely to be a completely unknown creature."
"We must find a way to control it." Almost without thinking, with the patient's life as her top priority, Kal'tsit made a decision on Zhao Zizhan's treatment plan directly.
Enhancement and modification are all sweet poisons from the devil before he takes everything, hiding nothing but greed and cruelty.
The right to life is paramount. Living well without being swayed by external factors is the core of Rhodes Island's fight for the infected and the greatest pride of being human.
Are there any good solutions at present?
There is one.
Chapter Thirty-Two: Blood Magic
Although Rhodes Island's main business is not VIP protection or 400-person annihilation operations, its foundation and livelihood still lie in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Medical Department is undoubtedly the pillar of Rhodes Island, a vital beam supporting the entire island.
In the highly talented medical department, Warfarin's expertise is undoubtedly a treasure, her medical skills being far ahead of their time.
With the addition of Kal'tsit and Touch, Zhao Zizhan enjoyed expert consultations at almost the pinnacle level of the Terra world.
"How are you, Dr. Warfarin? My condition..." Zhao Zizhan looked at Warfarin with some expectation as she came to his bedside.
"At present, there are two pieces of news, one good and one bad," Warfarin said, flipping through the medical record.
"The bad news is that, through experimentation and research, we have initially found a way to control that unknown bloodline within you."
"Shouldn't this be good news?" Zhao Zizhan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Don't be so happy yet. The way to control your bloodline is—Originium."
"Research has shown that Originium can effectively suppress the activity of this Draco-like bloodline in your body, which is the main reason why your bloodline has always been inactive in Rhodes Island."
The dragon bloodline's powerful corrosive force seemed to hit a brick wall when facing Originium. Not only was the progress slow, but the line was also slowly pushed back as the concentration of Originium continued to increase.
This outcome caught everyone present somewhat off guard.
"Who would have thought that the Oripathy we've been trying to overcome would actually be the life-saving medicine for Operator Zizhan?" Touch looked at the test results with a complicated expression.
This is truly a great irony.
Either their bodies are occupied by more than 50% of foreign genes, turning them into some kind of monster, or they are infected with Originium disease, losing all their skills and eventually becoming a giant gargoyle.
No matter which path you choose, it's like boarding a train without brakes, hurtling headlong towards death.
"And what's the good news?" Zhao Zizhan thought to himself, "Are mixed-race people really that dangerous? Aren't they usually only in danger after going through several blood surges? With my condition, I probably won't even be able to go through a blood surge."
"The good news is that, due to your unique constitution, you are completely immune to Originium infection."
Haha, now being single-minded has backfired.
