Stop In The Deep Sea

Nie Huaijun's guess was not groundless.

In fact, there has been data before that proves: In the biological chain, the creatures at the bottom are more affected by elastic mithril.

For example, those weird hairtail and shellfish samples in the laboratory only lost their basic biological characteristics after accidentally ingesting silver bullets, and lived aimlessly.

But they are not aggressive, wandering in the ocean like kites with broken strings.

But those creatures at the top of the food chain are different, such as the giant starfish in the deep sea. After its body was changed by elastic mithril, it became extremely manic and would actively attack the base.

Now, Dr. Nie's team has discovered an abnormal little seahorse. Although it is also at the middle and lower levels of the food chain, it has changed its past perception and has become extremely irritable and seems to be very sensitive to spiritual energy.

That shows that mimicking creatures are constantly evolving.

As for what it will evolve into in the future, no one knows.

No one can guarantee whether the Mimic, who can still coexist harmoniously with Elastic Mithril, will become as violent as the Seahorse.

"That's why I called you here today." Dr. Nie frowned and said in a deep voice, "Human beings are now able to master elastic mithril because the human body is extremely complex. I'm worried that one day these mimics will Become like this seahorse and hunt down the ancient warriors with spiritual energy in your bodies!"

When Wang Xin heard this, he broke out in cold sweat.

Thinking that he might be hunted every day in the future, he looked sad.

You know, since he came to the deep-sea base, tens of thousands of people have had bullet silver transplant surgeries!

"Also -" Dr. Nie continued, "Quan Henan from the Mimicry Alliance has started the second phase of bullet silver transplantation a few days ago."

Wang Xin was shocked again.

Mimics are different from ancient warriors. Every time they advance to a level, they must undergo surgery.

In this way, Quan Henan has become a second-level mimic.

And he is also a super strong man with the [Fight War Angel] sequence mimicry!

More importantly, his mimic sequence is actually only ranked 42nd, which means that there are 41 mimics ahead of him who are better than him.

On the night of the unannounced visit to the Mimicry Alliance, Cheng Ye, who was ranked 48th in the sequence, almost killed Wang Xin with only his first-order peak strength.

He didn't dare to think any further.

Will China in the future become the end of the world?

What about my system?

Where is my golden finger?

If it continues to develop at this rate, Gu Wu can't stand it...

"I have informed my assistant to put down all the projects in my hands and focus on studying the relationship between bullet silver and spiritual energy. I believe there will be results soon." Nie Huaijun said while looking out the window.

After all, biotechnology is Dr. Nie's specialty. He is racing against time, hoping to find a solution before the mimic mutates.

Wang Xin nodded: "Starting tomorrow, I will send you some spiritual plants from time to time for experimentation."

"It seems that you already know Lao Ge. Almost all the spiritual plants in our scientific research institute are supplied free of charge by his ninth team."

Wang Xin asked doubtfully: "You also know Uncle Ge?"

Nie Huaijun took out a photo from the cabinet. It was a photo of five people. Two of them were him and Ge Yuanchun.

"We were soldiers together when we were young. After I changed careers, I joined the scientific research team. Lao Ge opened a Tai Chi martial arts gym and now also opens a coffee shop in the deep sea base."

Wang Xin suddenly realized that no wonder Ge Yuanchun was so rich. Not only did he not ask the underground brothers to hand over the spiritual plants, but he also shouldered the taxes and fees that the ninth team paid to the base management association every month. It turned out that he opened a martial arts gym on land.

When he joined Xuanji Media, ancient martial arts were very popular and martial arts gyms could be seen everywhere in the streets. It was probably during that time that Ge Yuanchun made a lot of money.

...

As evening came, Nie Huaijun stayed with Wang Xin to have dinner at the scientific research institute, but Wang Xin refused.

Bad news kept coming today, and he really didn't have much appetite.

After leaving the scientific research institute, Wang Xin squatted on the roadside and lit a cigarette.

"Hi~hu..."

The smoke blew from his mouth into the air and gradually dissipated.

As the old saying goes: A cigarette after a meal is better than a living god.

Although I haven't eaten, I can relieve my worries.

His eyes gradually became firmer. No matter what the future holds, improving one's own cultivation is the only way to go.

No matter how strong the wind is, it can be broken by strong people.

This is the determination and perseverance that an ancient warrior deserves!

Just as he was thinking about it, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

After rejecting Nie Huaijun's kindness, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. Wang Xin regretted for a while: "What were you pretending to be? Why don't you leave after eating?"

After extinguishing a cigarette, Wang Xin rode on Juechen and headed to Uncle Ge's coffee shop.

He was going to drink a cup of coffee to quell his hunger.

When I was injured last time, I just lay on Dai Xingyue's lap and dreamed, without even tasting the coffee. This time I came to taste it.

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

Wang Xin stopped the electromagnetic motorcycle, took off his helmet, looked up at the plaque that read "Conjuring", and suddenly realized something in his heart.

"The literal translation of Conjuring should be secret art. It seems that Uncle Ge is right. He really wants to create a gathering place exclusively for ancient warriors."

After smiling slightly, Wang Xin walked in.

It was around 7 o'clock in the evening, which is when people come to the coffee shop after get off work, but there was no one in the shop at this time.

Only the little girl in the shop was concentrating on wiping the coffee cup.

Seeing someone coming in, the little sister greeted her warmly: "Welcome to Conjuring Coffee. What would you like? Hey, aren't you the handsome guy who came with Sister Xiaoyue last time?"

After saying that, her face turned red and she quickly covered her mouth, as if she was shy because she said what was in her heart.

Wang Xin smiled slightly and thought the clerk was cute. He couldn't help but joked: "Can that handsome guy get a discount?"

The little sister shook her head first, and then nodded quickly, shaking her two pigtails like a rattle.

"A glass of affogato and a few pieces of caramel chocolate."

When the little sister heard about it, she immediately started grinding beans. Wang Xin had nothing to do, so he stood at the front desk and started chatting with her.

Wang Xin was very good at handling this little girl who had just grown up and had no experience in the world. He made her laugh non-stop with just a few words.

During the chat, I learned that the clerk’s sister’s name is Xiaoyu. She is neither an ancient warrior nor a mimic, she is just an ordinary person.

The little fish man was very cheerful, with two deep dimples beside his mouth when he smiled. It happened that the store was not busy at this time, so he explained coffee to Wang Xin.

"Affogato is made with a spoonful of coffee on top of ice cream, so the taste is already very sweet. It is not suitable for eating with caramel chocolate. I recommend you try this cranberry cookie."

"It turns out that there is so much knowledge in coffee. It seems that one day I will have to come here to learn more. I hope that Teacher Xiaoyu will be able to teach me." Wang Xin said with a smile.

As he was talking, Wang Xin felt a scent coming from behind him.

Immediately, he felt that his neck seemed to be clamped by two soft things.

"Okay, Wang Xin, I caught you teasing the little girl outside behind our little Yue's back~"

The person who came turned out to be Chen Naiyi.
