My brother is so cunning

Chapter 933 The Price of Creating Intelligent Life
Leaving aside the scientists conducting experiments nearby, the fierce battle under the tree fern by the pond finally came to an end. Perhaps the fat teacher had been holding back for too long, or perhaps the two tormenting little devils were simply too attractive to be anything but 30, and the duration far exceeded the average duration of a normal human male.

Exhausted, the chubby teacher snapped out of his daze, covered his face, and lamented in a tearful voice, "Oh God, what did I do? My military service evaluation is definitely ruined, and my dream of cultivating immortality has been shattered."

Two dazed insect-like girls were still clinging to him, greedily inhaling the strong body odor emanating from his sweat from the exercise, looking as if they hadn't had enough.

The chubby teacher's cries jolted them awake. The two insect-girls, suddenly snapping out of their daze, gradually lost the mysterious little hearts in their pupils and immediately returned to being well-behaved children. Seeing their beloved chubby teacher so dejected, they seemed quite at a loss.

"Sorry, teacher……"

"We don't want this either, but we really can't help it. The smell of the teacher makes us feel so hot and uncomfortable, like we're sick."

They looked like children who had done something wrong, their heads hanging low and one of them even shed tears, looking pitiful.

What can the chubby teacher do to them?

He could only swallow his anger and shake his head helplessly. Dejected, he picked up the clothes that had been torn off by the two creatures, dragged his heavy steps, and walked into the fern thicket with a feeling of self-loathing.

The two insect-girls hugged each other and cried loudly, like two children abandoned by their loved ones, looking so helpless and aggrieved.

"Isn't it possible to develop a drug to treat this genetic defect as soon as possible?"

Unable to bear it any longer, Mosquito Taoist muttered meaningfully to Wen Rui, "Even if we can't cure the genetic disease once and for all, at least suppressing this impulse would be good."

"You make it sound so easy. You understand how much investment is required to develop a special drug and how long the research and development cycle is. You also understand biochemistry, don't you know that yourself?"

Wen Rui coldly poured cold water on her enthusiasm: "Besides, even if this drug is developed, we won't be able to recoup the costs. If it has any more harmful side effects, then it will be even more of a loss."

Although he was very unwilling and felt sorry for her poor children, Mosquito Taoist could only sigh helplessly.

Before learning the new knowledge of the Jie Sect, she always believed that gods and immortals were omnipotent. As long as the opportunity was good enough, the cultivation level was high enough, and they could seize a top-level magic weapon, they could easily achieve whatever they wanted by snapping their fingers.

With this in mind, she constantly ambushed cultivators in ancient times, absorbing their cultivation and robbing their treasures, frantically plundering resources for her grand dream of creating a Zerg civilization.

Her cultivation level improved rapidly, reaching the highest realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and her cultivation was even among the top in the Three Realms.

However, even after reaching a level of profundity unimaginable to many cultivators, she still could not conjure up even a single intelligent mosquito with an independent personality.

Only then did I realize that human strength has its limits, and even immortals are not without taboos. The rules and constraints set by the Heavenly Dao could only be broken by the Great God Pangu with a single axe throughout the primordial world, but the price was his own demise.

It wasn't until she came into contact with the new knowledge of the Jie Sect that a new world was opened for her. If Pangu's axe blow was a violent breach, then the Jie Sect's new knowledge of the Heavenly Interception Secrets was like a precise unlocking, disassembling the parts of the Heavenly Gate bit by bit, occasionally breaking a small opening in it to glimpse a wisp of the world's mysteries at the entrance.

Unfortunately, while the Heaven-Severing Secret Technique is excellent, under the current Demon Alliance system, it is intertwined with capital. Scientific research must take into account economic factors; otherwise, no matter how good the idea is, it will not be realized without financial support.

Of course, under Wen Rui's leadership, there were also some scientific research projects that could receive national support. Scientists could disregard costs, receive huge subsidies and project grants, and spend money on research and development without regard to cost.

However, it is clear that developing a specific drug for insectoid larvae with genetic defects is a niche project with minimal impact on future development and is unlikely to receive strong national-level support.

According to Wen Rui's original plan, these defective offspring should simply be humanely destroyed, with only the healthy individuals being preserved for education.

Mosquito, who had awakened to her humanity, couldn't bear to watch her innocent children being thrown into the gas chamber and their bodies being burned to ashes as biochemical waste.

That's why they begged Wen Rui to give these children with genetic defects a chance to live.

Her request coincided with Wen Rui's consistent belief in the Jie Sect, so Wen Rui readily agreed, but then ruthlessly used these defective young as consumables for another experiment.

“Mark these two samples. I noticed that the human teacher didn’t have time to take out his safety equipment.”

Wen Rui's instructions interrupted Mosquito Taoist's thoughts: "When similar samples appear, record them all, compile them into a list and submit it to me. I need to calculate the success rate of cross-species breeding, track the subsequent progress, observe the egg-laying situation of the samples, and then take samples of the insect eggs to observe their development."

At this point, Wen Rui's eyes lit up with anticipation as he said, "I really want to see the birth of the new generation of insectoids soon. I wonder how stable the genes of the second generation of insectoids are, and whether their offspring will have some new traits after interbreeding with humans?"

The Mosquito Taoist said dejectedly, "Won't such manipulation of intelligent life bring divine retribution? If I had known my children would be treated this way, I shouldn't have agreed to your request in the first place..."

"Do you think Nuwa created humans by simply kneading clay and flicking some mud splatters on them, and succeeded on the first try?"

Wen Rui said with a stern face, "Do you know how many human races Nuwa created? And how long it took for these races to multiply and breed in various parts of the prehistoric world? Do you know how many human races went extinct?"

"Even in this magical world, it's not easy for someone with profound cultivation to create a civilized race."

"Even a sage wouldn't dare to easily recreate the earth, fire, wind, and water formations. Otherwise, my ancestor, Master Tongtian, would have overturned the table long ago. Even he wasn't sure whether the new world created after recreating the earth, fire, wind, and water formations would have major flaws or be able to withstand the test of billions of years."

Having said that, Wen Rui didn't want to waste any more words with her and said coldly, "I still prefer you before you awakened your humanity. At least you could be a qualified experimental assistant for me, instead of investing too much meaningless emotion in these experimental samples, which greatly delays work efficiency!"
