Chapter 342: Chapter 276 A Good Habit That’s Always Been There_1

"You’re leaving again?" Katrina looked at Zheng Yichen with hesitation, even though he had grown up quickly recently, his youthful appearance still made him her pillow at night.

Normally, Zheng Yichen’s physical strength was very high, and even if he looked young, it wouldn’t seem too ’childish’, yet Zheng Yichen’s current state was not a normal reduction in age but an abnormal one, which is why his physical appearance was standard.

There were no "this dude is eight years old?" kind of reactions; his disguise ability could be said to be maxed out, and Eileena’s analysis concluded that this was a kind of self-protection mechanism.

After all, it was a ’regeneration’ following a fatal injury, and this protective nature could better allow Zheng Yichen to avoid some dangers. After all, such revival took a great toll on him, and even if he could be fully restored, this full restoration came at the direct temporary cost of his upper limit and all attributes.

"It’s unavoidable, wait for me to return," taking a briefcase from Eileena, Zheng Yichen left quite suavely.

He was less suave when he left home on his bicycle, as he really wanted to ride a motorcycle, but given his current state... Zheng Yichen made a stop at Ahn Qi’s home, still unclear about how the Ahn family would arrange matters, but there were things he needed to mention in advance.

"I have to go to work now."

"...Now?" Ahn Qi, wearing her pajamas, looked at the time. If it weren’t for Zheng Yichen, she would have sent the visitor away because this was her rest time. Disturbing someone during their rest time without something particularly important was just seeking trouble.

"Yes, the departure this time is just like before; I can’t be sure when I’ll return, but it shouldn’t be more than a year, I guess."

Ahn Qi wanted to roll her eyes, "Your estimate is really quite flexible. Just wait for me a minute."

After saying that, she went back to her bedroom, didn’t even lock the door, and quickly changed her clothes, "Let’s go get some stuff."

Zheng Yichen’s bicycle that he rode over was left in her house. While Ahn Qi was driving, she called Ahn Ke, "Hello? If you’re not asleep, head to your lab."

"Hm? I was about to go to bed, pick me up if there’s something important."

"You were about to sleep?" Ahn Qi was incredulous. With Ahn Ke having received new research materials, how could she possibly be sleeping at this time? Knowing her character, shouldn’t she be staying up all night to research?

Ahn Ke, in her bedroom, looking at the drawn curtains, spoke calmly, "Is that what you think too? I always manage my rest time very well."

Ahn Qi was momentarily taken aback; she had never paid extra attention to this aspect. The reason for her previous assumption was based on the stereotypical image of some researchers she knew. Her subordinates would voluntarily work day and night overtime without needing a push the moment they had something special to research.

"Then I’ll come to pick you up."

Zheng Yichen already knew where Ahn Ke lived. Ahn Qi didn’t beat around the bush and went straight there. When Ahn Qi arrived, Ahn Ke was already neatly dressed and waiting at the door. She showed a look of realization upon seeing Zheng Yichen in the car.

Ahn Qi must have proactively sought me out because Zheng Yichen had obligations as a Proxy Agent to fulfill.

After seating herself in the back of the car and fastening her seatbelt, Ahn Ke said, "I have quite a few experimental items on my end, but many of them are very dangerous. To what extent you can use them will depend on your choice. I need detailed data records afterwards, even a single video record will do."

"..." Ahn Qi, who was driving, felt somewhat uncomfortable. As someone with Dusk adaptability, Ahn Ke knew more information, while she seemed rather passive by comparison. Ahn Qi had made some notes and memos, but after looking through them once, she had tossed them into the safe at home.

Upon arriving at the research institute, where many researchers were still working, their astonished expressions upon seeing Ahn Ke made Ahn Qi momentarily sink into silence. From the reactions of these researchers, it was evident that they found Ahn Ke’s appearance at the institute at this time surprising.

Ahn Ke had not lied.

In her private laboratory, Ahn Ke opened some cabinets and took out some items. Upon understanding what those items were, Ahn Qi’s eyes twitched, "You, you just leave all these dangerous things here?"

The protection of Ahn Ke’s cabinet was nothing extraordinary, at most it featured high-strength blast-proof glass.

"This is my private laboratory. When I handle the items here, there won’t be any mishandling, nor will outsiders come in. If someone really wants to steal them, being able to get in would render any protection worthless."

Ahn Ke seemed very calm as she sorted and packed the items before handing a printed instruction manual to Zheng Yichen, "You won’t need the stuff that enhances oneself, so these are it."

She had studied Zheng Yichen’s uncontaminated blood samples and, after testing, discovered that Zheng Yichen’s lifeform level was extremely high. However, his blood was difficult to use for the transformation of other organisms because the first issue those organisms faced was ’withering’.

Ahn Ke focused her research on the withering phenomenon and confirmed it was a type of extraordinary abilities. Withering was not a malevolent factor but rather a state where the organism could no longer maintain normal functions due to a lack of certain elements. If these elements could be replenished, then his blood wouldn’t exhibit any signs of exhaustion.

In other words, as long as the individual’s certain needed elements could be satisfied, Zheng Yichen, as an individual, possessed eternal life.

Eternal life, but not undying... Blood vitality could still be killed by external factors, which meant that the entity that was Zheng Yichen could be too, but he was strong enough that there weren’t many entities capable of killing him.

However, blood that had left Zheng Yichen’s body would gradually lose the property of retaining extraordinary elements and then completely ’wither’.

To carry out long-term research, she needed Zheng Yichen to continuously provide fresh blood samples. She also discovered multiple special characteristics in Zheng Yichen’s blood. Due to the short research period, she couldn’t separate those diverse characteristics.

Otherwise, she could attempt to isolate those characteristics to create new drugs or other items... something like Zheng Yichen’s ’rejuvenation’ could also be attempted for replication.

In Ahn Ke’s eyes, Zheng Yichen was a mobile humanoid treasure trove with various characteristics, plus a sufficiently high lifeform level. If the Ahn family’s ’Ascension Plan’ lacked a better option, then clinging to Zheng Yichen’s leg was the best choice.

And with a sufficiently high lifeform level, the effects of some enhancing drugs wouldn’t be too potent for him. A person who could destroy a planet didn’t need them, and it was better to save that reserved space for auxiliary experimental items.
