Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi now has a fresh force at his disposal: the mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles that Kinos has recently cultivated. Although their number is not large, only about a hundred, their strength is quite outstanding.

Of course it can't compare to the original version. Although the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle in the original version was also smashed to pieces by the bald guy's punch, don't forget that before that, it held Saitama down and performed a set of cool combos... although it didn't break the defense.

Before meeting Saitama, and even during his battles with Saitama, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle firmly believed he was the strongest monster in the world. While he's quite arrogant, if he weren't strong enough, or if he'd been severely punished for his boasts, Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle wouldn't have that same thought.

It was precisely because he had fought all over the House of Evolution before meeting Saitama and had never been a match for him, and because he had never been outside, and because there was a Genos who kept telling him "You are my most perfect masterpiece" every day, that Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle had the illusion that he was the best monster in the world.

However, the original Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had been overpowered by Kinos, rendering the original control measures ineffective. If it weren't for its genetic instability, requiring it to soak in Kinos's nutrient solution, it would have already broken through the House of Evolution and escaped, declaring itself the "world's strongest monster" to the world.

A genetically modified monster that is out of control and can even devour its host has absolutely no use value other than being used for technical verification.

Therefore, when Lin Zhenxi invested in Kinos, she emphasized controllability. She didn't want an uncontrollable monster that would just rampage across the battlefield, regardless of its destructive power. She wanted a vanguard, a powerful tank that could hold her ground while she cast spells. More precisely, a super cannon fodder that could be easily consumed.

Therefore, easy control and mass production are the most important. In order to ensure these two points, a reduction in actual combat effectiveness is acceptable.

Kinos himself is not very interested in this kind of experiment that requires suppressing the strength of his own experimental subjects, but it doesn't matter. He has enough clones. Even if he goes into seclusion in the laboratory after getting the funds, his clones are still conducting research on mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles in an orderly manner.

With the joint efforts of those Kinos clones, Lin Zhenxi's super cannon fodder plan progressed very smoothly.

The clone does not have the same strong obsession as the original, and does not have to create the strongest monster to prove that he is the most powerful biologist or even the strongest scientist in the world.

Clones are clones. Obedience and submissiveness are basic attributes engraved in their DNA. Basically, they will do whatever Lin Zhenxi asks them to do, and they will never give Lin Zhenxi any new work beyond that. If it were the real Genos, that would not be certain.

The original Asura Rhinoceros Beetle's uncontrollable nature stems from its Asura Mode. In this state, the beetle completely loses its rationality, igniting its fighting instincts and frantically shredding everything in sight. Removing this ability would significantly reduce the beetle's power, even dropping it from Dragon-level to the next level, Ghost-level, but would improve its controllability.

Then there is the issue of genetic collapse. This problem is caused by the Kinos factor. It is not unique to the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, but is widely present in various monsters created by Kinos. However, those monsters do not have the same strong energy extraction ability as the Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle, so this problem is not so obvious.

The Kinos factor will force the body to evolve rapidly to adapt to the adverse external environment, such as evolving resistance to cutting damage, resistance to high pressure and low temperature environments, etc. If it can continue to evolve, then in the end you may really get a perfect creature that is not afraid of any environment and is even immortal.

However, during this process, the Kinos factor over-squeezes the energy within the cell, ultimately leading to genetic collapse. The nutrient tank, essential to the original Asura Rhinoceros Beetle, is a unique technology developed by Kinos specifically to repair broken genetic chains. However, Lin Zhenxi offers a new solution: adding an energy source that participates in the body's energy cycle.

The reason why the Kinos factor causes genetic collapse is because the energy in the body is insufficient to support the Kinos factor's transformation of the physical properties. In this case, then give it enough energy.

If we were to use scientific methods to solve this problem, it would simply involve nitrogen pumps, high-purity oxygen, stimulants, and nutrient solutions—all of which would only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. But what if we were to place a magic crystal inside the body?

That's right, Lin Zhenxi also participated in the production of mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetles. After all, she planned to take this technology with her, so that when she arrived in another world, she could produce this high-quality super cannon fodder herself. If she wasn't familiar with the process and couldn't use it after moving away, wouldn't that be embarrassing? She couldn't take Kinos or Kinos's clones with her.

This is totally unrealistic, because there is no way to bring the indigenous people from the other world back to the main world, otherwise there will probably be chaos.

Of course, Lin Zhenxi could also extract Kinos's memory of the mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle from his brain, bottle it up and take it away, but the memories of other people are basically just a reference. It is impossible to master a certain knowledge or skill just by reading the memories of others.

Therefore, Lin Zhenxi finally chose to personally participate in every process of producing mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetles, master every step, and in the process, solve the most serious problem of mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetles.

After being injected with artificial magic crystals, once the evolution promoted by the Kinos factor begins, the body will first ask the magic crystals for energy. The magic crystals can store a lot of energy, so at least it will be no problem for those mass-produced types to evolve several times.

If Lin Zhenxi had not been unable to find a way to allow the mass-produced models to directly absorb external energy to replenish the magic power consumed in the artificial magic crystals, and could only replace the artificial magic crystals that had run out of energy like changing batteries, the combat effectiveness of these mass-produced models would probably not be much weaker than the originals. At least in terms of pressure resistance, they would definitely surpass the originals.

In short, after some improvements, the performance of the mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle has fully met Lin Zhenxi's needs as a "super cannon fodder at the front."

What Lin Zhenxi actually needed was just the technology. As long as she had the technology, she didn't care much about the real thing. After all, she couldn't take it out and could only use it in this world. Lin Zhenxi originally thought that she would not be able to use them at all, so she did not give the task of mass-producing the clones of Kinos in the factory, resulting in the total number of mass-produced models being just over 100.

It is definitely too late to cultivate it now. It takes at least half a month for a mass-produced Asura Rhinoceros Beetle to grow from embryonic stem cells to final catalytic maturity and form combat effectiveness. It also consumes a lot of electricity and nutrients in the process. It is not something that can be done in a hurry.

If he had known that there would be such an outrageous thing as an alien invasion later, Lin Zhenxi would have to kill a whole group of super soldiers. Let's see if those aliens would piss themselves when they saw a group of muscular rhinoceros beetles who could not be killed no matter how hard they were hit and gradually became immune to damage.

But it's too late to say these things now. We can only send the mass-produced models that can be dispatched to the battlefield, hoping to relieve the pressure on City A.

Lin Zhenxi took one last look at the increasingly worse battle situation on the Glazed Altar, then took out his cell phone and called Kinos.

Although Genos has a huge flaw in his soul because he has made too many copies of himself, his life is in Lin Zhenxi's hands. Lin Zhenxi can crush him to death at any time, which is easier than stepping on an ant.

But he doesn't seem to care at all about the fact that his life is controlled by Lin Zhenxi. He is always indifferent to Lin Zhenxi. Whenever Lin Zhenxi looks for him, he will basically push the responsibility to his clone. He always stays in the laboratory and never comes out, like a stay-at-home.

This guy has the skills and experience to prove himself. In the field of genetic modification, there's probably no one better than him. His lack of fame is definitely due to his nerdy personality. As a scientist, you should at least promote your theories and work. If you just sit there in the lab, even if you come up with something great, no one else will know about it.

This time was no exception. When the call was connected, Kinos's sickly voice, which made it clear he had been cultivating for who knows how many days, came from the other end of the line: "Hello, what's going on? Why don't you go find those people down there? Why do you have to come to me?"

"You don't even want to call me boss now?" Lin Zhenxi rolled her eyes. It seemed that Kinos was only respectful to her when he took money from her account. Why did she feel like she was supporting a big boss?

"Any name is fine. What's the matter?" Kinos said on the phone in an tone that made me want to hang up quickly.

"Now I have an opportunity to let your masterpiece be known to the whole world. Are you interested?"

"Hmm? Tell me about it." Kinos really took the bait. The desire to become famous and gain recognition from the world was probably his only desire besides the pursuit of knowledge and truth.

But he just thought about it in his mind and never really put it into action. Who could know how powerful he was if he just focused on research?

So Lin Zhenxi told Kinos that he was going to send the mass-produced Ashura Rhinoceros Beetle to City A to fight the aliens.
