Chapter 416: Chapter 247: The Envied Linda, Tycoon Brian

"Unless the equipment is broken, that’s indeed the case."

The female researcher picked up a report:

"We found traces of modifications in her genes.

Part of it is the special gene of a gecko, and a large portion of it we can’t understand, but this part has enhanced her cell’s metabolic speed."

Saying this, she pointed to two comparative data charts on the computer for Susan:

"If we consider the metabolic speed of an ordinary person as 1, then her metabolic speed in a wounded state would be seven or eight.

This multiplier, along with her absorption of the Nutrient Liquid, is still slowly increasing, which means her wound recovery speed is seven or eight times that of an ordinary person.

This figure is quite exaggerated.

The average Second-Level Staff involved in combat probably only has one-third or half her cell metabolism speed, unless they’re those fast recovery type enhancers.

But even for those fast recovery type enhancers, it’s estimated that none have a value as high as hers."

"Metabolizing this fast, could there be dangers?"

Susan asked with concern.

Enhancement always carries the risk of genetic collapse.

Beastification enhancement is more than ten times this risk.

And that’s for mature reagents.

As for experimental reagents and non-human biological organ transplants, it’s not suitable to compare them here, as they vary from person to person, condition to condition, transplant subject to transplant subject.

The female researcher nodded:

"Metabolizing quickly, she consumes more energy, the individual’s vigor and desires will be extremely strong, and the number of cell divisions will also speed up.

A biological cell has a limit to division.

According to our current research, some special reagents can repair and increase an individual’s cell division limit, thereby extending the lifespan.

This is the principle behind some of the current Life Extension Reagents.

Maintaining this high metabolic state over time will shorten her lifespan.

However, according to our earlier examinations.

Linda’s metabolism only accelerates in certain areas of her body when she is injured or in an abnormal state, speeding up the abnormal metabolism and injury recovery to maintain the normal functioning of the body.

So there’s no need to worry about these issues.

After all, being injured would intrinsically affect a person’s lifespan.

Her body is simply shortening the ’wound recovery’ process."

Hearing this, Susan nodded.

That makes sense.

The theoretical lifespan of a normal human body is about one hundred and fifty years.

But not many ordinary people live past a hundred.

This is because many things in life are wearing down their bodies, reducing the lifespan of the body.

Excluding the impact of disease and congenital genetics.

Generally speaking, people who work hard both mentally and physically will definitely have shorter lifespans than those who are carefree and just coast through life.

The longer the working years, the sooner the death.

This rule may not cover everyone but represents the majority.

The female researcher continued:

"Before she was injected with the Beastification Reagent, she must have been in a near-death state.

This state significantly enhanced her integration and absorption of the Beastification Reagent, but also caused her body to be in a state of self-consumption.

Fortunately, she is young, and you brought her here in time.

If it had been delayed by about half a month, she would have grown up very quickly."

Normally, when injecting the Beastification Reagent, one would also deliberately put themselves in a near-death state to increase the efficiency of the reagent’s absorption and fusion, but also ensure sufficient nutritional intake.

Therefore, this process is generally conducted within a Nutrient Container.

The Linda in front of us was clearly injected in a less formal way.

"Grow up quickly?"

Susan was a bit slow to respond when it was not related to battle.

The female researcher nodded:

"It’s just as it sounds. Her body, being in a high metabolic state for an extended period, will ’ripen’ itself, becoming more mature.

This process will continue until she reaches the end point of her body’s growth.

Normally, this growth time is in the mid-twenties for most people.

She will, due to her high metabolic state, reach this growth and developmental endpoint prematurely.

This is a very normal phenomenon.

Nowadays, many children who are well-nourished at the age of eleven or twelve might have a bone age equivalent to that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, and by seventeen or eighteen, they might be close to the natural end of their growth and development.

So there’s no need to worry."

This woman’s explanation was somewhat convoluted, but Susan directly grasped the essence of her final point.

It’s good that there are no concerns.

However, the female researcher was quite envious of Linda: "Officer Susan, can you tell me what Beastification Reagent she used? This reagent is very friendly to us women; it can maintain a vigorous state in a living being."

"A vigorous state?"

Susan somewhat regretted bringing Linda here.

This should have been a job for Brian to handle.

Right now, she felt like she was in a classroom.

"Yes, a vigorous state."

The female researcher, noticing Susan’s expression, realized she was speaking to someone with little academic understanding.

She thought for a moment, then explained in more straightforward language:

"You can simply understand it as although her lifespan hasn’t been extended, once her body has finished developing, she won’t age anymore.

She won’t have any wrinkles or crow’s feet to worry about, she won’t become less energetic as she ages, but will always maintain vigorous energy.

As long as she has sufficient energy intake, she will always be in her best state.

Of course, as a tradeoff, her lifespan will be significantly lower than that of an ordinary person.

Unless she can evolve her life, making her cell vitality stronger, and increase her lifespan limit."

The cost of maintaining a peak state, therefore, is a shorter life.

Even so, the female researcher was still quite envious.

She believed that if one could maintain their youthful beauty and vigor, ninety-nine percent of women would choose to live a few fewer years.
