Star Iron: Cat Renaissance Abundance

At 5 p.m., Shangguan Mio finished the meeting feeling like she was going to die. Gou Ba Diamond, there were only 12 people in the meeting room, including herself. She split her sentence into three parts: "Everyone here is a thousand-year-old fox. What kind of riddle are you playing with me?"

Those who know you know that you are the Protector General, while those who don’t think you are the Mysterious General.

"Ah! How annoying, Yelena! You're the best, unlike Diamond, who's acting like a riddler and is completely bewildered by what I'm saying."

Ye Lina: "Aren't you a genius? Don't you understand?"

"My main field isn't cosmic languages ​​and literature. I'm just a biologist, working on genetic inheritance and biological evolution experiments. If it weren't for the severe lack of experimental funds, I would have been like Black Tower, living in seclusion in a corner of the galaxy."

Ye Lina felt a little embarrassed, but that was understandable. After joining the Genius Club, the club would provide regular funding. Famous geniuses like Black Tower naturally had no shortage of money, but the vast majority of geniuses in the galaxy didn't have much extra funds. When they needed money for experiments, they either sold experimental patents or took on extra jobs.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then do you want me to support you, hehe~" Ye Lina said with some evil humor.

"Of course I'm willing to do that, but I've already signed the contract, and there's still an Amber Era before it expires." Shangguan Mio felt a little sweet, and her love for Ye Lina was not in vain.

"An Amber Age! I'm not immortal, so I probably won't live to that time." Ye Lina said with a sigh.

"Who said that? I'm a well-deserved biological genius! Extending life is a piece of cake for me! But... hehehe, this depends on whether you have the courage to get on my operating table~ As long as you lie down obediently and let me make a few cuts on your delicate body, I guarantee that I can make you live for several more Amber Ages with ease! Hahahaha! What do you think? Are you excited? Don't worry, the whole process will be absolutely painless~"

Shangguan Mio quipped with a sly smile, mimicking the playful and mysterious tone of Mebius from Honkai Impact 3rd. As she spoke, her delicate, jade-white hands suddenly, as if by magic, conjured a gleaming silver scalpel. She deftly twirled the scalpel back and forth between her slender fingers, the blade flashing with a chilling, cold light.

This sudden scene frightened Ye Lina, who was standing by. She shuddered and took a small step back. After coming to her senses and realizing it was just a joke, Ye Lina stamped her foot in anger. Then, she rushed forward, opened her arms and hugged Shangguan Mio tightly. She pressed her rosy cheek against Shangguan Mio's ear and complained coquettishly, "Hmph! You bad guy, you're deliberately scaring me again!"

Shangguan Mio was stunned for a moment, then burst into a giggle, gently patting Ye Lina's back with both hands and soothing her. "Okay, okay, it's my fault. Who told us Ye Lina to be so cute that we couldn't help but tease her? Hehehe...Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. Just rest assured, there's no way I'd really kill you."

As she spoke, Shangguan Mio gently touched Ye Lina's smooth hair, her eyes full of doting.

"Humph~"

Fortunately, the two were in a dedicated elevator going down at that time and there was no one else around, otherwise there would have been a lot of rumors in the company the next day.

"By the way, didn't Diamond ask you to prepare medicine for the previous generation's Topaz and Gold Dust? How's that going?"

"Oh, my potion is still in the experimental stage. Although it has been repeatedly tested on over three thousand living specimens, it's undeniable that it still has certain flaws. For example, after swallowing this potion, the user is very likely to undergo a physical mutation, becoming what's known as 'one head, two arms.'"

Hearing this, Ye Lina couldn't help but reveal a hint of curiosity. She blinked her bright eyes and asked doubtfully, "Don't people have one head and two arms? What's so strange about this?"

"Hey, I'm not talking about the usual one-head-and-two-arms thing." Shangguan Mio smiled faintly and explained mysteriously, "I'm talking about the literal meaning of the form—a head in the middle, with an arm extending from each side."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lina couldn't help but conjure up a bizarre image in her mind. The mere thought of it made her feel a surge of discomfort. "Eh! So disgusting..." She couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, her whole body trembling slightly.

Seeing Ye Lina's horrified reaction, Shangguan Mio smiled nonchalantly and continued teasingly, "What's the matter? Did this scare you? Oh my, it seems your mental strength needs some improvement. How about this? When I'm free one day, I'll personally take you to my lab for a proper tour. As long as you can resist vomiting and stay for a full ten minutes, then maybe you'll think this 'one head, two arms' creature is actually quite kind and adorable."

"I'm not going!" Ye Lina flatly refused without a second thought. She couldn't imagine, based on Shangguan Mio's description, how many more terrifying and terrifying creatures could be hidden in that laboratory than the "one-head, two-armed creature." Just thinking about what that literal "one-head, two-armed creature" would look like made her scalp tingle, let alone experiencing those unknown horrors in person.

"Do you know Ruan Mei? She's a member of the Genius Club and a biological life scientist like me. She's visited my lab before. Would you like to know her opinion of my experimental products?"

"Oh? Ruan Mei! I've heard of her name. She's a very talented life scientist!"

Shangguan Mio continued, "Well, let me tell you. She said: Your test subject is too moral. If you want to break through your research progress, you must let go of your moral bottom line. Otherwise, even if you continue to study for an entire Amber Age, you won't reach a fraction of what I have."

"Hey! You biologists are really crazy!" Ye Lina could only comment like this.

"She is indeed quite crazy. I mainly study pathology and gene mutations, while she studies what life is, literally what life is," said Shangguan Mio.
