Chapter 226: Chapter 191: Are There Tigers on Ocean Islands?_1

```

What does it feel like to skip taking a boat and head directly into the ocean on a motorcycle? Zheng Yichen thought it was pretty awful. He didn’t know the right people to find a dark ship and was wasting time. If it weren’t for the offline navigation feature on his cell phone, he wouldn’t have chosen such a suicidal method.

Getting lost for a moment could mean drifting in the ocean indefinitely.

The hover function was now in use, but its energy consumption required him to replenish manually. Without some special power, it really wasn’t easy to operate. Worse yet, he ran into a heavy downpour.

"Damn it!" The storm in the ocean was like the overturning of seas and skies, with flashes of lightning and booms of thunder. Engulfed in the dark tempest, he felt completely isolated from the world. His ability to control water allowed him to maintain a relatively calm environment in this chaos, as he continued to navigate using the map on his phone.

But the pervasive darkness around him, the lightning that occasionally split the skies, and the constant wind and rain, along with the huge waves... It was a stimulating experience to go through once, but definitely not something one would want to face again without the assurance of safety.

Zheng Yichen had planned to cross the ocean at top speed to reach his destination. However, he didn’t expect to run into such a situation that same day, making his head buzz. Munching on jerky and watching the distant storm, Zheng Yichen recorded the scene with another cell phone.

Having come all this way and encountering such a situation, he felt he had to leave behind some memories.

Truth be told, he didn’t know how other Proxy Agents managed to navigate through the rookie stage. Ever since he started working for Dusk up to now, none of the worlds he experienced were smooth sailing.

This was the third world he had been through, and he wasn’t really a newbie anymore. Yet, it was still quite terrible.

After the rain cleared, Zheng Yichen looked at the calm sea and took a deep breath. Having battled... well, not exactly battled, but having navigated through the storm all night, things finally returned to normal. The sea in its normal state was indeed a pleasant sight.

After eating some food, he rubbed his face to accelerate his pace. Although the likelihood of encountering another storm was slim, he didn’t want to take a chance with such bad luck.

Upon encountering an isolated island, Zheng Yichen’s eyes lit up, and he immediately approached. Floating above the water without touching it felt really awful. After reaching the island and stepping onto solid ground once again, he felt much more comfortable.

"Let’s have something warm..."

There were animals on the island. Zheng Yichen obtained food in a sustainable way, only taking what he needed to satiate his hunger... Although, are there tigers on oceanic islands?

As Zheng Yichen was seasoning the meat he was roasting, he noticed a lion appear not far away. This lion was much larger than those on Earth, its powerful muscles visibly pronounced on its limbs as it walked slowly. The fur shone brilliantly in the sunlight and even reflected light, indicating that this lion was living a good life.

He glanced at the grilled meat by his side, then at the imposing tiger. Seeing only the tiger’s teeth was enough to sense its murderous intent. Undoubtedly, he had intruded into its territory—

The question arose, how could there be a tiger on an isolated ocean island?

"I’m just passing through—"

"Roar—"

A few minutes later, Zheng Yichen forcefully stuffed some bone, still with a bit of meat on it but already cold, into the tiger’s mouth. The sound of the bone shattering was immediate. The tiger, tasting the meat but longing for freedom, rushed straight at Zheng Yichen.

But once again, it was held down and thrown to the ground by Zheng Yichen. His Performance Coefficient was now different from that of a normal person. Even though the strength grading in this world wasn’t high, wrestling down a tiger was still difficult.

Killing it wasn’t hard, but simply overpowering it with strength was not enough. This tiger was not ordinary, but he had Inner Strength.

After subduing the tiger once more, Zheng Yichen checked its gender. It was like catching a cat and, upon finding that the cat was very cuddly, instinctively checking its gender first.

"Roar, roar, roar—" The tiger, held down on the ground, roared angrily. Zheng Yichen’s attempts at appeasement with food were completely ineffective. However, when his finger, glowing with a red energy, pointed at the tiger’s head, the animal calmed down and its fierce expression softened slightly.

But given the chance, it would certainly attack Zheng Yichen again.

Zheng Yichen then pulled out some equipment from his motorcycle to check the tiger. The preliminary inspection suggested that the tiger had undergone some kind of modification, but the specifics required more detailed testing, which the diagnostic equipment on the motorcycle was unable to perform.

```

"A genetically modified tiger? I hope I haven’t stumbled into someone’s bio-cultivation area or a pet garden," Zheng Yichen muttered as he continued to stroke the big cat, pinching its paws. As its paw was touched, the tiger subconsciously stretched out its immense one.

But after a glance from Zheng Yichen, it quieted down again. Taming the tiger wasn’t easy, and Zheng Yichen had no intention of doing so; feeling the tiger’s fur was enough for him. The only reason they could maintain such restraint and appear friendly to outsiders was because his fist was big enough.

"Beep—" A faint alert sounded, and Zheng Yichen glanced at the LCD screen attached to the motorcycle, which displayed new information. Some other things had been detected on the tiger, not traces of modification, but electronic signals.

"Hm?" Zheng Yichen reached out to pry open the tiger’s eye, studying it closely. Sure enough, he saw traces resembling integrated circuits within its eye, certainly more advanced or special than the modifications he had seen in the city.

It would be hard to notice without close observation. After examining it again and again, Zheng Yichen was sure these weren’t affixed onto the eye like contact lenses but were direct modifications to the eyeball itself, this technology...

Releasing the disgruntled big tiger, Zheng Yichen simply let it go. His meal was finished, and he had had his fill of petting the big cat. Now it was time to leave. As for the big cat’s problem, he was just a passerby who hadn’t suffered any additional attacks.

Even if the tiger’s eyes had been modified to record some information, it wasn’t enough reason to simply kill the creature without a word. After all, he was the intruder, and the tiger had been living just fine on this island.

After resting enough, it was time to go.

Watching the departing Zheng Yichen, the big tiger on the shore roared twice, imprinting his retreating figure firmly in its eyes.

"An anomaly at Biological Nurturing Base No. 1995?" In a research institute, a middle-aged woman looking at the report that came through showed a curious expression. Most biological nurture bases were established on suitably conditioned, isolated islands.

The islands, technologically enhanced, became highly suitable for the survival of those creatures, with regular checks of the island’s ecosystem by relevant personnel. Animal research was a popular project in this world, mainly because after reaching a high level of technology, people on this planet began to pay attention to other ecosystems.

And there were always some wealthy individuals who wanted to keep large pets.

However, their side’s animal research focused on evolution, artificially inducing extra evolution in creatures.

Opening the report, she raised an eyebrow upon seeing the anomaly encountered by Base No. 1995—an individual who stumbled upon the island by mistake? At first, she thought it might be some shipwreck survivor, but she quickly dismissed that idea. If that was the case, the person would just have to consider themselves unlucky.

The creatures bred on the biological nurturing bases retained their wildness, and most people would be done for if they encountered them. Yet this time, the person had managed to subdue a modified tiger, and its implanted microcomputer had recorded all his actions.

Until he discovered the modifications in the tiger’s eyes. Afterward, he did nothing more than finish his barbecue and then left the island, riding away on a hoverbike.

Who was this person? Was this some rich family’s idea of a marine survival adventure? There had been a severe storm in that area last night.

Even on a special motorbike, one would expect trouble.

Comparing the appearance information, the middle-aged woman showed a look of surprise. The data indicated that the person was a suspect in a crime, but when she used her own authority to access more information, she found no clear criminal record.

"Is this some boring attempt at framing?" the middle-aged woman muttered, having only heard of such things before but now encountering it herself.

She had no intention of interfering in this matter. She was responsible for research on animal evolution, part of a national institution, but not connected to the judicial system. She didn’t know Zheng Yichen, had plenty of her own work to do, and, assuming that the person behind this had a high-status, meddling might impact her own work. Moreover, Zheng Yichen had shown himself to be out of the ordinary, with the tiger’s eye recording capturing the appearance of red mist emanating from his fingers, indicative of a special ability.

She had no plan to get involved but casually reported the incident anyway. With her access, she could see Zheng Yichen’s ’encrypted’ innocent record—if those above her had time to look over this report, a simple investigation could uncover the problem.

Whether it was dealt with was irrelevant to her; if it wasn’t, it was even less her concern, as long as the animals in her research remained fine.

"Finally back on land." Standing on the mainland again, Zheng Yichen took a refreshing breath, grilled a couple of fish, and found a place to rest properly, waiting to check out his destination directly tomorrow.

It had been less than five days now, and apart from nature itself, no external force had interfered with his progression. He could fly, and so could his vehicle; any obstacles encountered along the way he could simply bypass. Without any mishaps, he should reach his intended location within the next couple of days.
