Chapter 292: Universal Planting System (31)

"Wow!"

The little one was watching with great interest, even waving his little hands and imitating their training moves with "hey" and "ha" sounds.

"Huh? How can this be... Boss! Boss, look at the young master!"

Xie Yang turned her head and saw Chi Dahu holding the little one's wrist, examining it in surprise: "The fur on the young master's hands has disappeared!"

The little one was not anxious or impatient, nodding solemnly:

"Yeah, yeah! Zai Zai is just like Mommy, hands and feet have become smooth."

"!!!"

Xie Yang hurriedly reached out to touch her son's forehead: "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No!"

"Boss, they're finished!" Chi Dahu pointed to mid-air.

Xing Lan and Che Yin'an had already returned to their human forms and landed on the ground.

The former stood with his hands behind his back, while the latter supported himself on one knee, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with a bitter smile before slowly standing up.

Xie Yang jumped out of the Flying Vehicle and ran toward the two of them.

Of course, the one she was looking for was Xing Lan; she was anxious to ask about the reason for her son's hair loss.

"Xie Yang."

As she passed Che Yin'an, he called out to her:

"I've come to take you and your son home."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yang gave him a look as if he were a lunatic: "If you're sick, go get it treated!"

After saying that, she continued running forward without looking back.

"Major General Xing!"

Xie Yang waved at Xing Lan.

Xing Lan, who hadn't expected her to follow, thought: "..."

He quickly reviewed the process of his martial duel with Che Yin'an in his mind; there shouldn't have been any embarrassing moments, right?

Xie Yang's focus was not on that at all. As she approached him, she lowered her voice and asked: "The fur on Xie Ting's hands and feet suddenly disappeared. Do you know what's going on?"

"The fur suddenly receded?"

"Yes! Just now, while watching you two fight, he was imitating your movements, and the fur on his hands suddenly disappeared..."

Xing Lan was thoughtful: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be that the Evolution Gene has fluctuated."

"What does that mean?"

"... Ahem, it's hard to explain in a few words. It would be better to take him for a full physical examination."

"But Garbage Star doesn't have a place that provides physical examinations." Xie Yang frowned.

If there were, she would have taken her son for a check-up long ago.

The Brain Domain Treatment Agent listed in the System Mall is currently only applicable to mental power disorder phenomena.

She didn't dare give it to Xie Ting, not knowing if it would be suitable for the aftereffects caused by taking Gene Agents like he had.

"The Military Department has a Physical Examination Pod; I will arrange it."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you."

"It's no trouble."

The Military Department's Physical Examination Pod was idle most of the time. Besides, Xie Yang was now a Senior Consultant for the Military Department. Once it was mentioned that her son wanted a full physical examination, the Logistics Chief agreed immediately, telling her to bring the child over for the check-up at any time.

Xie Yang decided to go right now.

"Take my Flying Vehicle; it'll be faster."

Xing Lan went to start the Flying Vehicle.

Xie Yang held her son and sat in his Flying Vehicle, letting Chi Dahu drive her own back.

Chi Dahu watched longingly as they sped away in Xing Lan's Flying Vehicle.

If it weren't for the strict management of the Military Department—and the fact that he wouldn't be able to get through the main gate even if he followed—he would really have wanted to go along and see what was going on!

Could it be some kind of terminal illness?

His poor young master, a Half-Beast Cub whose evolution had failed, already had a lifespan far shorter than an ordinary person's; living to adulthood was about the limit.

If he were to get a terminal illness on top of that... Sigh!

The two Flying Vehicles, one new and one old, drove away from the scene one after the other, with no one paying any mind to Che Yin'an's mood.

He was like a defeated adult beast, standing there in a fit of shame and anger.

She had actually called him sick; how could his proud and arrogant self endure that?

He punched the Flying Vehicle hard, swearing he would never come to this hellhole again!

"Mommy, where are we going?"

Xie Ting sat in Xie Yang's arms and asked in a soft, cute voice.

Xie Yang lowered her head and pressed it against his forehead: "We are going to the Military Department to experience what Gene Warriors do every day when they aren't out on missions."

"Then what do they do?"

"They need to check their bodies regularly."

"Can Zai Zai see?"

"Of course! Not only can Zai Zai see, but you can also lie down and experience it yourself."

"Really? That's great!"

The little one was so excited that he didn't close his mouth the whole way, his little mouth chattering about his admiration for Gene Warriors.

Xie Yang's mood, however, became somewhat heavy.

Xing Lan glanced at her through the rearview mirror, but before the physical examination results came out, any amount of reassurance was pale.

The Logistics Chief waited at the entrance to receive them: "The Physical Examination Pod's self-check procedure has been completed, all functions are operating normally, and it is ready for the examination at any time."

"Thank you! Sorry to trouble you!" Xie Yang nodded gratefully toward him, then looked down and asked her son, "Does Zai Zai want to go into the pod for the examination with this uncle?"

"Yes!"

"Then you must listen to the uncle, okay? Mommy will be right here waiting for you."

"Okay!"

The little one climbed down from Xie Yang, held his head high and chest out as he followed the Logistics Chief into the inner room, and obediently lay down in the Physical Examination Pod according to the instructions.

The pod door slowly closed, and with a "beep-beep" startup sound, the instrument began to run.

On the display screen next to the Physical Examination Pod, data points scrolled by one after another.

The Logistics Chief looked at them while saying to Xie Yang: "The child's physical fitness is quite good, and the development status... hmm, it also meets the normal standards for a Half-Beast Cub of the same age... Huh!"

That "huh" made Xie Yang's heart rise involuntarily.

"Has he taken any medicinal agents recently?"

Xie Yang thought carefully and then shook her head: "No."

She had given him a few Children's Nutrient Solutions during the first few days after she transmigrated here, but according to the Main System, those only supplemented the elements needed for physical growth, did not fall into the category of medicinal agents, and would not produce any side effects.

"Please just tell me the truth, I can handle it," Xie Yang said seriously, "I hope to understand my son's physical condition as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Logistics Chief laughed: "Don't be nervous, it's not a bad thing; on the contrary, it's a good thing! I don't know what your Zai Zai took, but the toxins left in his body after his previous failed evolution have been purified by seven or eight tenths, and the damage to his muscles and nerve tissues has also been repaired on a large scale. At this rate of repair, within three years, he will be able to completely eliminate the characteristics of the failed evolution—that is, the fur on his body will recede and his body will return to human form—which is equivalent to having a chance at a Secondary Evolution, and the success rate of this Secondary Evolution is quite high."

"!!!"

Xie Yang subconsciously picked at her ear: "Are you saying that my son has the possibility of returning to human form?"

"Not just returning to human form, but he can also undergo a Secondary Genetic Modification. Because his previously damaged genes have mostly been repaired and reorganized, the success rate of the second modification is as high as over ninety percent."

"!!!"

This news shocked the high-level officials of the Military.

What!

Ms. Xie's Half-Beast Cub son has the prospect of a Secondary Evolution? And the probability of becoming a Gene Warrior is quite high?

How was this achieved?

Even though they held high positions, a Gene Warrior was just like ascension in the cultivation world; it was inherently going against the heavens, and the success rate was quite low.

Even in the families of people like them, there were inevitably juniors who failed their evolution, and once the evolution failed, no matter how powerful or influential they were, there was no way to reverse the situation.

Now, someone had gone against the heavens and found a breakthrough method that could allow a Half-Beast Cub who had failed their evolution to have a chance at a Secondary Genetic Modification, and the success rate of this modification was quite high—how could everyone not be excited!
