Chapter 183: 142, Shen Qinghan genetic fusion failure_2
“It’s getting late, let’s go take a bath and then get to bed early.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
After saying that, Lin Zichen walked with Shen Qinghan toward the front bathroom.
About half an hour later.
They came out of the bathroom after taking their baths.
As soon as Shen Qinghan came out, she said she was hungry and wanted a late-night snack.
Lin Zichen indulged her and specifically went to the kitchen to stir-fry a dish of rice noodles and squeeze a glass of spirit fruit juice to satisfy her craving.
After spending a dozen minutes eating their fill.
Shen Qinghan rested for a while, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and soon went to sleep in the room with Lin Zichen.
After lying in bed for a while without falling asleep, she turned on her side to face Lin Zichen and said,
“Xiao Chen, it’s not even 11 o’clock yet, it’s too early, and I can’t sleep. Can I borrow your phone to play for a while?”
“I haven’t downloaded any new study videos.”
“It’s okay, I can watch the old ones.”
“Here you go.”
Lin Zichen handed over his phone and said, “Remember to use headphones, don’t let the sound play out loud.”
“I know.”
Shen Qinghan took the phone, put on the headphones, and skillfully opened the study videos that were cached inside, silently shrinking into the blanket to watch.
Half an hour later.
The videos ended.
Shen Qinghan took off the headphones and returned the phone to Lin Zichen.
As Lin Zichen reached out to take the phone, she said in a soft, sticky voice, “Xiao Chen, I’d like to drink some milk.”
“I’ll go get it for you.”
Lin Zichen said, getting up from the bed and putting on his shoes.
But before he had a chance to go, Shen Qinghan took hold of his hand with eyes full of affection, her voice slightly soft, “No need to go to the living room to get it, just lie down on the bed…”
…
The next day, 7:30 AM.
The two of them sat opposite each other at the dining table for breakfast.
Today’s breakfast was also made by Lin Zichen.
It was simple: a bowl of corn dumplings, a boiled egg, and a cup of hot milk.
After finishing the dumplings and egg, Shen Qinghan held the hot milk in front of her and couldn’t wait to drink it.
The egg was too dry, and she was very thirsty.
“Xiao Chen, the milk is not tasty at all, it’s all a lie.”
After finishing the milk in the cup, Shen Qinghan wiped the corner of her mouth, pouted her rosy lips slightly, and complained as if she had been deceived.
Lin Zichen looked at the empty cup in front of her and laughed without saying a word.
“Xiao Chen, I have to undergo Genetic Fusion tonight at 9 PM, and I’m a bit nervous.”
A hint of unease appeared on Shen Qinghan’s pretty face.
Lin Zichen comforted her with a gentle voice, “It’s normal to feel nervous the first time. After doing it a few more times and getting used to it, it’ll be fine.”
“That’s true.”
Shen Qinghan nodded in agreement.
They sat like that and chatted for a while, then quickly got up to clean up the dining table together.
A moment later, after the table was cleared,
Shen Qinghan put on the small backpack that Lin Zichen had made for her and went out to class on her own.
Lin Zichen chose not to go to the research institute today but to stay at home for a second Tempering Flesh.
This Tempering lasted a quick 10 hours.
With the help of four Revitalization Pills, the progress of the second Tempering Flesh successfully advanced to 45%.
Seeing that it was 5:30 PM, Lin Zichen put away the yoga mat, picked a few ingredients from the fridge, and took them to the kitchen to cook dinner.
Closer to 6 PM,
Shen Qinghan came back with her backpack.
As soon as she entered the house, she smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen, and she couldn’t help swallowing saliva.
The dishes Lin Zichen cooked were so fragrant that she never got tired of eating them; just one whiff made her want to eat.
After dinner, the two sat on the couch reading books for a while.
Feeling sufficiently digested, Shen Qinghan stood up, left the living room, and went to the bathroom for a shower.
In just over an hour, she would head to Yuan Dongzhi’s office for her first Genetic Fusion. Before that, it was necessary to clean up.
…
8:30 PM.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan left home to head towards Yuan Dongzhi’s office.
They walked leisurely for over ten minutes.
Arriving at the administrative building,
they walked in.
Took the elevator to the 5th floor.
When the two entered the principal’s office, Yuan Dongzhi had already been waiting inside for a long time.
Upon seeing Shen Qinghan, Yuan Dongzhi handed her a cup of warm water to drink all at once.
After finishing that cup, she poured another one for her to continue drinking.
In total, she drank five cups, nearly a liter of water.
This was the preparatory work before fusing the Blue Spirit Jellyfish gene.
The Blue Spirit Jellyfish is a Water Attribute Exotic Beast; the more water there is in the body, the easier it is to fuse with its genes.
“Master, I can’t drink any more.”
Shen Qinghan put down her cup and touched her full belly, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Yuan Dongzhi said indifferently, “If you can’t drink anymore, there’s no need to force it. Come up to the bed and lie down, and I’m going to fuse you with the Azure Jellyfish King’s genes.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Shen Qinghan obediently lay down on the bed, her belly filled with water slightly raised, making her look like a little pregnant woman several months along.
Yuan Dongzhi brought over a syringe filled with blue liquid, sat next to Shen Qinghan,
and said to her, “The blue liquid in this syringe I’m holding contains the Azure Jellyfish King gene. When I inject it later, I have to insert it directly into the heart.”
“But don’t worry, the insertion won’t hurt. I’ll use spiritual power to numb your pain nerves so you won’t feel any pain.”
“However, during the gene fusion process, even if your pain nerves are numbed, you will still feel pain.”
“But, the duration of the process usually won’t be too long, at most just a few minutes.”
“During that time, if you truly can’t bear the pain, feel free to scream out loud, don’t hold it in, understand?”
“I understand, Master.” Shen Qinghan nodded her head.
