Vincent looked at the tube of plasma in his hand and felt very hesitant. Even though he had tested this plasma a few times before on lab rats and it had worked every time, the success rate was only close to and not really one hundred percent. Therefore, he was still somewhat anxious to use it on himself.
The tube of plasma he was holding was precisely an evolution plasma, which he named the Sapient Sub-Brain Evolution Plasma. He had added a talent to his existing genes to make himself evolve. Specifically, he wanted to segregate the part of his brain tissues which he was not actively utilizing and develop it into a sub-brain. In addition, he would upload the operation mode of a computer into the sub-brain to improve its computing powers. In this way, he could become as powerful as a computer.
With such a computer-like sub-brain, his ability to learn and his intelligence would be greatly enhanced, which was what Vincent wanted at the moment. The sub-brain intelligence w
“How can I extend life? How can I achieve immortality?” Vincent said to himself. He was sitting in the yard, sunbathing. He felt that no matter how smart or how powerful he was, he could never dream of fighting against the flow of time. He would die sooner or later. Even though he could add inserts into his genes to strengthen himself and give himself different talents, he could not extend the maximum limits of his lifespan. Put aside the limitation of the genes that controls lifespan, he was unable to even prevent the failure of his organs over time – one of the primary reasons why people died.The first step to preventing death would be to prevent the organs from shutting down. And after that, the metabolism and cell renewal could come into the picture. However, those were only the initial steps. If he would like to achieve true immortality, there would be a long and difficult way to go.Even though Vincent had a sub-brain, it was only for calculati
Vincent tossed the shop key to Alice and said, “Keep an eye on the shop. Call me if anything urgent happens.”Alice was in the midst of playing with a kitten. She turned around and nodded, “Alright, I understand. Don’t worry, boss!”Vincent put on his coat and got into the car with Walter. Even though he already knew what Walter was there for using his mind power, he still asked, “What’s the urgent matter? Why were you looking for me so suddenly!”Walter got into the driver’s seat, closed the door and said, “We’re having a reunion, an elementary school reunion. Someone called me suddenly this morning and asked me to attend, and so I thought about you. I then immediately came to fetch you!”Vincent thought back to the days. “Elementary school reunion? Can you even remember what they look like? I might not even remember their names!”Walter immediately replied, &ldquo
Vincent felt memories returning to him. He had been very proud when he was young. Because of his good grades, good looks and a well-to-do family, his actions had been rather arrogant. He had been somewhat of a bully.Aisha had been very pretty when she was young as well, but she was shy, introverted and did not interact much with others. Vincent was very interested in her, but that wasn’t a good thing when you were a kid. Children could have very strange ways of expressing fondness. It mostly started with him bullying her.At first it was just Vincent bullying her, but because of Aisha’s shyness and her reclusive nature, the rest of the class began isolating and bullying her as well. Once, Vincent accidentally broke one of Aisha’s belongings and angered her. A fight broke out between them. Vincent used his backpack to hit Aisha, forgetting that he had a flashlight in his bag that day. The flashlight struck Ai Shu’s head and injured her.A
The orcs had already built cities and entered the bronze age, but humans were still in the early stage of developing their civilization. Meanwhile, the fighting among orc clans intensified. This clashes and melding of cultures helped spark off the improvement of the orc civilization. The first generation’s Orc King was from the clan of rats, but by the fourth generation, he was from the clan of tigers. Other clans, like the clan of dogs and the clan of bulls, had succeeded the title of the Orc King as well afterwards. The current Orc King, the twelfth-generation orc named Costa, was from the clan of wolves. Cities were appearing in other places as well and were slowly replacing tribes. The intermingling and combining of orc tribes were taking place!This had Vincent worried. He thought that the orcs were developing too fast while the humans were in the beginnings of their development and barely had their own language. He was worried that the orcs might one day wipe out all humans befo
“You must be the one to avenge the lives of your loved ones with your own hands,” Vincent said, leading Akhenaten away from the hut. “I am only here to provide you guidance from the glorious Goddess of Light, Gaia.”“But why won’t the gods kill off the evil wolf-men?” Akhenaten asked, clearly unsatisfied with Vincent’s answer. “Why did the gods watch the orcs killed my parents and my clansmen? How could gods who stood by and watched these things happen still be called gods?”“What do you think gods are? Your servants?” Vincent turned back and looked at Akhenaten. “They gave you lives, intelligence and power. They also gave you lush lands and a world to explore. Do you still want them to watch over every second and every aspect of your lives? Fulfil your every wish and desire? You are too greedy!” Seeing that Akhenaten didn’t say anything in response, Vincent continued. “The
In the next few days, Vincent took Akhenaten to all the other few cities which the orcs had just built. He showed the boy the cities of the tigers and the leopards, which were designed like military bases. He also showed the boy the city of the foxes, which was the orcs’ largest center of commerce in the North. Then, Vincent took Akhenaten to visit the tribes of the dog-people and cat-people, which were still primitive and not yet cities.After that, he showed the boy the orcs’ farms and ranches, and told him that he could domesticate animals and raise crops too. Humans had been doing these as well, but because the South was filled with natural resources, they did not carry these processes out fully and also did not understand why they had to.In these few days, Akhenaten finally had a basic idea of how powerful the orcs were and how weak the humans were. The orcs were already an army equipped with weapons and civilization, while humans were only a group of wil
“Fetal movement undetectable. Signs of life undetectable!”“It’s not working… it failed again!”Vincent watched as the few lives that had just been born vanished before him, causing him to be very depressed. Genetically, there was nothing wrong; their life templates were complete and their designs were logical. He did not know why he kept failing over and over again.After he had begun the Immortality Gene Editing Plan, he had been trying to create an intelligent species with an extremely long lifespan. To achieve this, he had been adding sections of plant genes to existing genes of new humans.The self-repair abilities and vitality of plants far exceeded that of animals. Even if a plant was chopped up into a few pieces, as long as there were water and sunlight, it could grow out again. Whether it was underwater or on land, cold or hot, plants could be seen; they were even found in harsh environments such as dese
“What’s wrong?” Vincent asked.He had gone to the mall with Sophie and was having lunch with her, when he noticed that she looked like she wanted to say something but was holding back. Therefore, he put down his chopsticks and looked at Sophie.Sophie shook her head. “Nothing,” she said. “It’s just that every time I see you, it always feels like you have become a bit distant and unfamiliar, even though we have just met up not long ago.” Vincent knew that this was because he had been frequently entering the Scroll of Creation, where he would spend a few months each time. Whenever he met up with Sophie, only one day would have passed for her since their last date, but to Vincent, it would be a reunion after parting for a long time.“Doesn’t that make me seem more mysterious? I feel different every time!” Vincent remarked with a smile.Today, Sophie seemed to have lost her usual queen-like tem
