"I'm only 48, but I look 150, right? I'm aging so fast." Brian had calmed down by now, even smiling helplessly. He slumped in his chair, his shoulders drooping as far as they could go, and he couldn't seem to lift his head.

The moment his age was revealed, it seemed as if his energy and spirit were also released.

The average interstellar lifespan is 200 years, meaning youth and prime age last for a long time. Due to superior physical fitness and technological advancements, people age very slowly. It's normal to look young even at a very old age.

However, it is not uncommon for age and appearance to be mismatched. For example, due to frequent use of spiritual power and lack of proper purification, some people will quickly wither away.

The Royal Family is a typical example. They fought against the Zerg in their youth, retired when their psychic strength was nearly broken, and inherited the throne. Since then, they have rarely used their psychic strength to save their lives. Therefore, the males of the Royal Family have a short flowering period, and a lifespan of 150 is considered long-lived.

Brian's situation is not difficult to guess.

"It's a genetic medicine. Limei appears to be a beauty biotech company, but they've actually been illegally engaging in gene editing. The whole point is to preserve eternal youth."

Any interstellar person who hears this will think: "What kind of serious illness is this?"

There are so many pharmaceuticals in the interstellar world that can combat free radicals, waste gene replication, and other problems. Why would anyone approach a nearly solved problem from such a dangerous angle? It's simply unnecessary.

"You've all discovered that Limei Company is secretly doing other things. A researcher previously raised some of the issues and posted them on Starnet."

Chizhou quickly searched the Star Brain and confirmed Brian's words. "It must have been dealt with. I only found a few traces here."

"So what exactly did the Mu family laboratory research and lose?" Li Nuo asked the question that was on everyone's mind.

"I've only been working with Professor Zhang for a year. In those first few years, like other junior researchers, I could only perform partial measurements of the experiments. It was difficult to get a full picture of the experiments.

But for me, this isn't a bad thing. I don't have big ambitions, and my research skills aren't great either. I'm just diligent and conscientious. The salary is good, so I'm not dissatisfied with the reality.

but……"

Brian choked up when he said this.

"But your family has been in trouble. Three years ago, your brother was hunted for gambling debts. Your nephew was suddenly severely poisoned in a Zerg confrontation, causing severe genetic damage. Your sister-in-law, who treated you like a mother, was sold because she had no money to support the family."

Chizhou quickly searched for information and finished speaking for Brian.

"It's a very common method." Li Nuo curled his lips and said without comment.

"It's the same with the other people, right?" Although it was a question, everyone in the room was smart and knew it well.

This was simply the Mu family's way of controlling the experimenters and making them submit. As expected, Chizhou quickly assembled a nearly 20-person experimental team, all of whom had similar uncontrollable reasons.

"Yes, at first I didn't think there was anything wrong. My brother was a gambler when he was young, and everyone was used to it. But almost all the experimenters around me had their reasons for working for the Mu family, so we all understood.

But it's useless to understand. If I don't work hard for the Mu family, there is almost no way I can save my family."

"How does this relate to your aging?"

"My lab supervisor said that if we want to save my nephew, we need new gene editing technology, and since he and I are closely related, the chances of success are greater."

"So, you are experimenting on yourselves!" Wu Ping couldn't help but say.

No wonder when he searched the Mu family laboratory on the day of the explosion, he only saw messy reagents and equipment, but no experimental samples. This also led to his first round of search to return empty-handed, thinking he was a step too late.

But he was indeed late because too many experimenters had died there, and the experimental samples had been destroyed.

"What kind of experiment is that?" Yuan Xu's patience had run out. He didn't want to listen anymore. He just wanted to go home and rest after work. There were always endless troubles in the galaxy.

Just when I was wondering what was going on, Brian suddenly stood up and started taking off his pants...

While taking off her clothes, she asked Chizhou to look up her information and said, "Chief Chi, what did you find out about my gender?"

Even the experienced Marshal was shocked by Brian's actions, and he leaned back in disgust.

Li Nuo jumped away and stepped on Wu Ping's foot. Wu Ping supported his back speechlessly without saying a word.

"The data shows that you differentiated into a Beta at the age of 18 years and 3 months. Your parents are also Betas. One is an ordinary bank clerk, and the other is a community worker. They died in a rare virus outbreak in their early years. Your brother is also a B..."

Before Chizhou finished speaking, Brian's pants fell down, and everyone was stunned.

"Do pheromones exist?"

"Yes, but I can't release it here."

The marshal waved his hand, and Li Nuo quickly left and walked into the control room next door.

Soon the sweet smell of lychee spread.

Oh, it's really eye-catching and choking. It's so disgusting to look at a 150-year-old sloppy old man.

Yuan Xu took out a small metal box from the inside pocket of his shirt, pressed out a small pill, and put it under his tongue.

"Marshal!" The people around him tensed. This was because the Marshal's mental strength couldn't hold out any longer and he was planning to use a large booster.

"Chizhou will judge the following situation. I will take you back to rest."

Wu Ping behind him had never seen this situation before, but he knew intuitively that the situation was bad.

"Marshal, please take care of yourself."

"Stop talking nonsense, and get this over with." Yuan Xu's body was burning with heat, his mental energy surging in his head, uncontrollable. The enhancer would give him ten minutes, and he needed to vent.

Yuan Xu unbuttoned his military uniform, ripped open the collar of his shirt impatiently, and finally looked at Brian seriously.

Brian was so scared that his hands trembled as he just pulled up his pants, and they fell down again.

"Your genetic reagent can change already differentiated genders? So you're an Omega now? How long has the experiment been going on? How many people are involved? How far has it progressed? Tell me quickly!"

Chizhou is extremely anxious now. If it can't be solved in 10 minutes, all of them will be seriously injured and need to be hospitalized.

The veins on the Marshal's forehead were already bulging, his neck was slightly sweaty, and the muscles on his chest were bulging, making the floating of his shirt more obvious.

Chizhou was now looking at the Marshal while quickly operating the Star Brain, and at the same time glaring at Brian with disappointment.

"At least 20 people have successfully participated, but I don't know the exact number. We have a group of researchers whose families need money. We've checked privately, and most of them are Betas, and genetic drugs can change their gender to a certain extent. The early focus was on Betas becoming Alphas. Now they're basically mature, with a high level, guaranteed B-level, and S-level possible. There's even no risk of mental breakdown. The only side effect is rapid aging, and they're not expected to live past 30."

"What about transforming into an Omega?"

"I was a failed early experiment. I looked fine, but I couldn't have children. At this stage of research, all issues except aging have been resolved."

"Anything else to add?"

"Also, it's best to use the genetic test kit on the day of differentiation. It's ineffective before then, and the success rate is low after that. The chances of disability or even death are high."

"On the day of differentiation? But all of you researchers are test subjects that have naturally differentiated. That means there are more test subjects. Where are they?"

Wu Ping didn't want to miss the opportunity to make amends. Feeling the increasingly unstable aura of the marshal in front of him, Wu Ping had to do something.

"I don't know about that! But I do know that the Mu family has a foundation that collects many impoverished students they favor and provides them with financial aid. One of my nephew's classmates is one of them. At the end of last year, he differentiated into a B+ level Omega, and this year he married a son of the Zhu family, a retainer of the Mu family."
