Chapter 942 - 940: Premonition

Exposing her adorable little canine teeth, Zero thoroughly enjoyed the boss’s praise.

It seemed that in Zero’s eyes, getting praised by the boss was truly rare.

Continuing to look at the data, Mo Jingchun gained a general understanding of the progress of the human trials with the X-Gene Optimization Liquid.

In a sense, the experiment was too successful.

Like the first batch, none of the participants in the second batch experienced any casualties, and as expected, everyone who received the X-Gene Optimization Liquid showed a stronger body and a greatly enhanced immune system.

The difference is that everyone’s original physique was different, and so were the improvements.

Someone who might have been frail, after a period of time with the X-Gene Optimization Liquid and some exercise, could show remarkable combat capability.

However, for those with already exceptional physical conditions, some did not improve significantly.

The pattern, or perhaps some unknown influencing factor, was even unknown to Mo Jingchun.

As far as it looks now, the lack of harm seemed certain.

It’s not blind confidence, but rather, Mo Jingchun believed in the data provided by the system.

If there were hidden dangers or other issues, the data would not fail to mention it, nor would it label it as "perfect" Preliminary Genetic Optimization Liquid.

The reason it could be called perfect was precisely because the X-Gene Optimization Liquid never altered the structure of human DNA from start to finish.

Having roughly read through the effective data content summarized by Zero, Mo Jingchun fell into contemplation.

The occasional furrowing of his brow made Zero dare not speak.

Zero could analyze human expressions to speculate what they might be thinking, but that did not mean she truly knew what a person was thinking.

Just like now, Zero could not fathom or analyze why the boss suddenly fell into contemplation, sometimes furrowing his brow, and sometimes smiling.

If forced to use a word to describe the boss at this moment, it seemed like "mentally ill".

These thoughts, Zero only thought to herself, as she dared not voice them.

The boss held grudges even more than she did!

The boss never waited overnight to retaliate.

Unlike her, who was a good child, only secretly jotting down grudges in a notebook, waiting for the most opportune moment to sneakily get revenge.

By the time others slowly realized, it was too late.

Analyzing this way, Zero blinked, suddenly feeling that perhaps she was more terrifying.

But why were enemies who once targeted Candy more afraid of the boss?

The enemies who crawled up from the grave said, "A surprise attack as powerful as a royal flush, who could bear it."

Suddenly, Zero put away her puzzled expression and looked seriously at the boss who had returned to his senses, listening intently for instructions.

"Zero, I have a premonition, it won’t be long before someone from above will come to talk to me. It could be Qin Yuzhu, or it might be someone else.

Or rather, it’s not so much a premonition, but an inevitability.

Because the issues involved with the X-Gene Optimization Liquid are too many and too important.

I dare say, even if after the human trials phase, proving that the X-Gene Optimization Liquid has no problems, they won’t wholeheartedly believe that the X-Gene Optimization Liquid really has no side effects.

If it were me, the more perfect something is, the more I’d doubt it, which is only human nature.

Wanting to promote X-Gene Optimization Liquid universally in one step is impossible and unrealistic, even if I’m not in a high position, I’d not allow such a thing to happen."

Listening to the boss’s words, Zero, after plenty of data analysis and thought, finally opened up after a long silence:

"For humans to always remain rational is indeed a luxury. But most of the time, the wise remain rational."

"I just conducted a lot of calculations and analyses assuming the X-Gene Optimization Liquid has uncertainties, and not implementing a universal usage of the X-Gene Optimization Liquid in a short time is correct. The most reasonable method would be staggered batches and timing.

From few to many, and maintaining a certain time span."

Taking his hand off the mouse, Mo Jingchun sighed, somewhat helplessly.

"Indeed, the plan you suggested is the most reasonable. If the X-Gene Optimization Liquid has side effects that only manifest over the long term, once universally spread, the consequences would be too horrific for anyone to bear."

"I just hope that they allow limited use while giving me a certain level of authority to privately administer it to a small group."

After speaking, the lab fell silent.

Upon exiting the first laboratory building, Mo Jingchun and Zero’s expressions were as usual, showing nothing on their faces.

Time is like water in a sponge, you can always squeeze some out.

The April weather was just right, neither cold nor hot.

Taking advantage of the weekend off work, and Candy free from classes, Mo Jingchun took the family to Yishan.

Yishan’s unique geography gives rise to legendary pines, bizarre rocks, a sea of clouds, hot springs, and winter snow.

Also known as the "Five Wonders".

Yishan is renowned for the "Five Victories" of historical relics, painting and calligraphy, literature, legends, and famous figures, with titles like "The Most Spectacular Mountain", "A Painting from Heaven", and "Songhai Yunyang".

There are as many as 88 peaks over a thousand meters high.

Upon entering the transfer center, wearing a hat and holding a hiking stick, Candy widened her eyes at the crowd.

"Brother, why is it so crowded? Doesn’t anyone use the weekend to sleep in?"

Mo Jingchun bypassed Candy and went directly to join the line.

"Stop lamenting, getting in line is the key. We should have climbed in the afternoon, anyway, we booked a hotel at the mountaintop, an oversight from lack of experience."

Hearing this, Candy couldn’t say much and obediently squeezed between her brother and Zero to queue.

Nearly an hour later, Mo Jingchun and his group finally sat on the shuttle bus.

As the shuttle bus climbed the mountain, Candy, sitting in the last row, dared not look out the window.

Not out of fear of heights, but a bit carsick.

Thankfully the journey wasn’t long, and after getting off the bus and taking a couple of breaths of fresh air, the carsick feeling vanished without a trace.

Everything was carried by the bodyguards, with Candy, lightly packed and eager, holding a hiking stick to quickly follow the group.

As Candy entered the scenic area in preparation for the climb, Zero, who had been following behind, stopped her.

Zero helplessly looked at Candy, saying, "This way is for walking up the mountain, do you want to walk up? It takes three hours to reach the cable car station."

At this moment, Mo Jingchun caught up, curled his lips, and once more bypassed Candy, heading straight for the cable car.

Taking a child to walk up Yishan, they must be true warriors indeed.

Of the 88 peaks, not all have cable cars, requiring one to climb up and down.

Three hours later, after numerous stops, Candy finally reached Bright Summit and sat on the stone steps, panting heavily.
