Chapter 330: Chapter 329 Made a Profit (Please Vote) Chapter 330: Chapter 329 Made a Profit (Please Vote) “How is it going?”

In a daze, Shao Zifeng faintly heard Chen Yixin’s voice.

He wanted to open his eyes but felt completely devoid of strength.

“Professor, the patient isn’t injured.”

The one speaking now was a middle-aged to elderly man, his voice carrying the distinctive cadence of the elderly, and Shao Zifeng listened carefully to their conversation.

“He’s just exhausted physically. The bioenergy reserves in his body were drained in a short period of time, hence his unconscious state.”

“I just had Beibei inject him with nutrition and recovery fluids, but I’m not sure when he will wake up.”

“Bup bup!”

“And also…”

“Dr. Zhu, please speak your mind.”

“Beibei said it felt something on his body, similar to what’s inside Captain Shangguan.”

“I think it’s best to leave his case to your team for research; after all, I’m just a doctor.”

After these words, silence fell around them. Only after a moment did they hear Chen Yixin speak.

“I understand,” Chen Yixin said with a somewhat heavy tone. “And Dr. Zhu, aside from the two of us, I hope no third person knows about this.”

“But what if the authorities want a work report…”

“Sigh, I know what to do, don’t worry Professor Chen…”

Shao Zifeng didn’t know what else they said as the sound of the conversation grew more and more distant, and his consciousness again slipped into sleep.

…

Beep beep beep beep…

Amidst the beeping of the machines, Shao Zifeng woke up again, intense thirst rendering his tongue as dull as wood, with a burning pain in his throat.

The next second, a stream of cool, sweet fluid flowed through the tube inserted in his mouth, alleviating the dryness.

Shao Zifeng tried to open his eyes, but the glaring light left him bewildered for a moment. The familiar sound of conversation reached his ears again.

“Professor, I’ve analyzed the data you asked me to look at; here’s the report.”

The voice was cheerful and lively, with the rustling of papers, suggesting that it was Yang Qi speaking.

“Hmm, hold the report and read it to me.”

Chen Yixin’s voice was hoarse, as if she hadn’t rested properly for a long time.

“Professor, maybe you should get some rest first.”

“Read.”

“Oh!”

There was a weary but firm tone in Chen Yixin’s voice, and Yang Qi indeed capitulated.

“Upon your guidance, we immediately used the instruments to record the energy wavelengths surrounding Zifeng’s body.”

“After comparing them with samples taken from Captain Shangguan, we indeed found several matching wavelength frequencies.”

“We suspected that Zifeng was internally infected, but after conducting a thorough examination, we found that his body, both inside and out, lacked the substance found in Captain Shangguan.”

“How much overlap is there?”

Chen Yixin fell silent for a moment, her low voice revealing no emotion.

“About one quarter.”

“The wavelengths on Zifeng are more regular compared to Captain Shangguan’s. Unfortunately, this wavelength has disappeared; other than the recorded segment, there’s no more material to compare.”

“I understand.”

There was silence in the room again, punctuated only by the tapping of fingers on a tabletop.

Then another voice spoke: “Based on the data and Zifeng’s abnormal behavior at the time, Professor Chen…should we report this to the higher-ups?”

“Without my permission, no one is allowed to disclose this to anyone else.”

Chen Yixin’s voice now carried a rare hint of anger.

Slam!

The room’s door was shut forcefully, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually leaving.

Shao Zifeng struggled to keep his eyes open. With the overhead lights now off and no glaring light to discomfort him, his eyes felt much better.

Lying quietly in bed, he reflected on everything that had happened.

After a long time, he came to a conclusion.

Empathy really is too terrifying.

You can’t use it where negative emotions surge, nor when you anger a group of mutant creatures.

This time I thought to myself, surely it’s okay to use with just one mutant creature.

Who knew this guy would be even more terrifying than the previous two times.

The old dragon was right, this so-called ‘god-given talent’ is really not that great.

With that thought, he mustered all his strength to lift his hand.

There was no longer the purple-red mark in the pale center of his palm that had been there before.

He closed his eyes and opened Empathy once again.

Then he quickly shut it off.

When he opened his eyes to look at his palm, the peripheral blue light point slowly unfolded after spinning.

Seeing the color of his status panel, Shao Zifeng stiffened slightly.

Unlike the previous light blue, his panel now bore the same faint purple-red color as the genetically-split mutant creature.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the unease in his heart, Shao Zifeng continued to look down.

Shao Zifeng looked at his status panel, his breathing becoming a bit rapid.

His chest was a bit painful due to its quick rise and fall.

Himself.

He had actually awakened a second talent!

This is freaking awesome!

(PS: This part is not charged for, it’s written here because pirates won’t see the author’s comments.

I want to clarify first that it’s not some kind of masochistic mainstream, although I have been considering lately whether to cut off the next two major plotlines to finish sooner, but I’m not planning on writing any mainstream masochistic content that would disgust readers.

To the pirate friends, I respect you so I don’t enable anti-piracy, please respect me and don’t mess with my mindset. I’ll keep updating, you keep on freeloading, why don’t we just not bother each other and everyone be happy?)
