Evolving infinitely from ground zero - Chapter 100

Chapter 100: 99, Luo Qianxue? Bai Xue?

Translator: 549690339

“What’s wrong?”

Noticing the odd expression on Shen Qinghan’s face, Yuan Dongzhi asked her with confusion.

“Master…”

Since it was a master she had acknowledged rather inexplicably, the way Shen Qinghan called out ‘master’ sounded very unnatural and awkward. She took a moment before asking, “That… what’s my senior sister’s name?”

“Luo Qianxue.”

Yuan Dongzhi answered indifferently.

Fearing Shen Qinghan might not know which three characters, Yuan Dongzhi also thoughtfully typed out “Luo Qianxue” and sent it to her on WeChat to see.

It wasn’t Bai Xue.

But the name contained the character for ‘snow’…

Shen Qinghan felt that her senior sister might very likely be Bai Xue.

Yuan Dongzhi asked, “Looking at the photo of your senior sister like that, did you know her before?”

“When I was in the second grade of elementary school, there was a good friend named Bai Xue in my class, who looks a lot like my senior sister.”

After speaking, Shen Qinghan added, “This good friend of mine had just transferred to our school not half a semester before she suddenly transferred away again, and since then, I’ve never seen her again.”

Yuan Dongzhi raised an eyebrow, “Is that so?”

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment before voicing her guess, “Master, it’s been exactly ten years since I was in the second grade. Do you think… could my senior sister be that good friend of mine?”

“Impossible.”

Yuan Dongzhi directly denied it without even thinking.

As for the reason, she did not explain.

Shen Qinghan had a timid disposition and did not dare to ask further; she just silently looked at the photo again.

It was only at that moment that she noticed something very off about the background of the photo.

The plants growing on the ground were all strangely shaped.

There was grass with black leaves and branches.

There were trees with trunks covered in blood vessels.

And there were eerie, enchanting flowers with mouths.

The plants were very different from those known to her, seeming very fake, as if they had been altered in post-production.

At this point, Yuan Dongzhi said,

“Qinghan, your Genetic Fusion compatibility is so high that it somewhat exceeds my understanding. How about this, I’ll give you a full physical examination now to see if your body has any special characteristics that would give you such high compatibility.”

After speaking, Yuan Dongzhi stood up, walked in front of Shen Qinghan, sat down, and slid her hand inside her clothes to press on her lower abdomen.

She then channeled a strand of her spiritual power into Shen Qinghan’s body and began to carefully examine her.

About ten minutes later.

Yuan Dongzhi frowned and withdrew her hand.

Shen Qinghan’s body was very normal, with no difference from an ordinary person.

But that was strange.

How could such an ordinary body have a Genetic Fusion compatibility as high as 21%?

Yuan Dongzhi was baffled.

Seeing her frown, Shen Qinghan thought there might be something wrong with her own body and immediately asked with some panic, “Master, is there something wrong with my body?”

“There’s nothing wrong with your body, it’s no different from an ordinary person’s, and every part is quite normal,” Yuan Dongzhi said, then continued with bewilderment, “But it’s precisely because it’s too normal that it seems abnormal. Logically, a body with a Genetic Fusion compatibility of 21% shouldn’t be this ordinary.”

After hearing this, Shen Qinghan couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now, when Yuan Dongzhi suddenly frowned, the first thought that popped into her head was that she might have contracted some incurable disease.

It was all because she had watched too many melodramatic idol dramas in the past, always thinking in terms of clichéd plotlines.

“It’s past twelve o’clock. Let’s go, I’ll take you to the canteen for lunch.”

“My childhood friend is still waiting for me outside, can I bring him along?”

“Of course.”

Soon, the two of them stood up and left the office.

As they went out the door, with just a thought from Yuan Dongzhi, all the electronic equipment in the office, which had malfunctioned, returned to normal.

When she had brought Shen Qinghan in earlier, she had used her spiritual power to shield all the electronic equipment in the office to prevent their conversation from being leaked.

Once outside.

Shen Qinghan waved at Lin Zichen and called out, “Xiao Chen, come on, let’s go eat in the canteen!”

“Coming!”

Lin Zichen responded and stood up to walk over.

On their way to the canteen.

Yuan Dongzhi walked ahead.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan followed behind.

Yuan Dongzhi was wearing high heels that made a series of crisp, melodious sounds when they hit the ground, which far from being noisy, sounded somewhat wonderful.

Even more beautiful were her voluptuous, snow-white legs and the full, perky rear that swayed seductively under the silk fabric as she moved, extremely enticing.

Walking behind her, Lin Zichen was already trying hard to control himself, but he still couldn’t help glancing over several times.

It just goes to show that humans, though far more rational than other creatures, often have their rationality consumed by desire.

Before long, the three of them reached the cafeteria.

After finding a spot to sit down.

Yuan Dongzhi called over the head chef and turned to ask Shen Qinghan, “Qinghan, what would you like to eat? Just tell this chef.”

“Anything is fine for me.”

Shen Qinghan was still a bit reserved at the moment, not daring to make demands on anyone.

Seeing Shen Qinghan’s somewhat introverted demeanor, Yuan Dongzhi turned to Lin Zichen, seated next to her, and said, “You are Qinghan’s childhood friend and sweetheart who’s grown up with her. You must know her well, so order some dishes she loves to eat.”

“Okay.”

Lin Zichen responded to Yuan Dongzhi and then told the chef in front of him, “Let’s have tomato and eggs stir-fry, soy-braised chicken, soy-braised shrimp, hand-torn cabbage, and carrot and corn stew.”

Four dishes and one soup should be enough for three people to eat.

In the time that followed, the three of them sat together, eating and chatting.

During the conversation, when Lin Zichen found out that Shen Qinghan had taken Yuan Dongzhi as her mentor, he was flabbergasted.

How did she suddenly get a mentor out of the blue?

But he soon figured it out.

He guessed it must be because Shen Qinghan’s Genetic Fusion adaptability was so outstanding that she was destined for great things in the future, and Yuan Dongzhi was securing her support in advance.

And Yuan Dongzhi, upon learning that Lin Zichen was the candidate with a whopping 15% adaptability in Genetic Fusion, was also stunned.

This pair of childhood friends had actually clinched the top two spots in the Nanjiang Province martial arts exam?

Wasn’t that a bit too coincidental?

Yuan Dongzhi keenly sensed that something was amiss.

About an hour later, the three had their fill.

Yuan Dongzhi arranged for someone to send Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan home.

As soon as the two left, she notified her confidant to investigate their family backgrounds.

She instructed a particular focus on Shen Qinghan’s background to find out who could give birth to such a daughter with impressive physical quality.

Her confidant was extremely efficient, and in less than an hour, had gathered all the family information about Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, sending it over to Yuan Dongzhi for review.

After going through the information, Yuan Dongzhi grew even more puzzled.

Their parents were all very ordinary, neither Genetic Integrators nor Mechanically Modified Humans.

So the question was, how did such ordinary parents give birth to children with such high talent?

Could it be a genetic mutation?

Yuan Dongzhi was completely at a loss.

Next, she took out her phone and called her father at home.

Her father, with his broad experience, might provide her with the answer she sought by telling him about this issue.

Soon, the call connected, and a somewhat deep, middle-aged male voice came through.

“What’s the matter, Dongzhi?”

“Dad, I’ve taken on a new apprentice today who has an extremely high talent, with a Genetic Fusion adaptability of 21%.”

“What did you say?! A 21% Genetic Fusion adaptability? How is that possible? Quickly, tell me the details!”

An extremely shocked voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yuan Dongzhi organized her thoughts and told her father about the situation, emphasizing that Shen Qinghan’s parents were ordinary people.

However, her well-experienced father was also encountering such an unreasonable situation for the first time and could not provide a definitive answer.

He only suggested it might be a genetic mutation.

After that, he instructed her in a very serious tone:

“Dongzhi, you must train this new genius apprentice well!”

“With a Genetic Fusion adaptability as high as 21%, your genius apprentice will surely achieve greatness in the future, and the rewards we could gain from this are unimaginable!”

“Also, don’t let anyone know about your apprentice’s terrifying talent!”

“I understand, Father.”
