Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

In the end, the short-haired woman accepted Night Song's suggestion.

Compared to the certain death of falling into the hands of a gene company, it seems that the survival rate might be higher if it falls into the hands of Night Song.

"Next, it's the third one." Ye Ge took out the last address and looked at it.

Night Song led the women to the hiding place of the last descendant of the ancient race.

This is a tavern located in a small border town.

The wind swept sand and gravel from the Gobi Desert, which pelted against the gray brick wall outside the tavern, eroded into jagged shapes by the wind.

Ye Ge looked up at the tavern's sign.

"Vulture Nest"

The signboard is now just half a rusty iron pole, leaning crookedly over a piece of rotten wood, on which the character "nest" is hastily painted with charcoal, and the original characters "vulture" can be vaguely seen where the paint has peeled off.

Ye Ge and the other women walked forward together and pushed open the wooden door of the tavern. The hinges had long been corroded by salt and alkali, and a slight force would produce a sharp sound like scraping the bottom of a pot.

Inside the tavern, twenty-odd crooked wooden tables were crammed into the hall, the walls and tables stained with the grime of generations of drinkers, dried bloodstains like splashed ink, ale stains yellow like urine stains, and filthy words carved from knife tips layered upon filthier words.

However, the huge tavern was almost empty, except for a ragged, disheveled man drinking at a table, dressed like a scavenger.

"We're not open for business today, get out!" The disheveled man, slumped over the table with a wine jug in his hand, cursed impatiently as he saw Ye Ge and the others enter. He then continued drinking, muttering something unintelligible under his breath.

Ye Ge, of course, did not roll away, but went straight to him and slowly said, "A descendant of the ancient Zhu Yan clan."

"Hmm?" The disheveled man slurred his head, then looked more closely at Ye Ge and the others: "Who are you people?"

Night Song said, "Human race, Night Song."

The scruffy-looking man raised an eyebrow: "You're that supposedly powerful demonized mutant from the Ye family?"

"People from the gene company are coming for you soon," Nangong Qiuyue said seriously. "They want to take you back to be their experimental subject!"

"Tch, let them come. I'm not afraid of them!" the slovenly man said nonchalantly. "It's good that they're here. Those bastards killed so many of my Zhu Yan people in the battle against the ferocious beasts. It'll be a good opportunity for them to see my ancient Zhu Yan power..."

Ququ kindly advised, "They will have carefully studied your abilities before they come, and there are many of them, you..."

"Damn it, enough with the nonsense!" the sloppy man cursed, tilting his head back to take another big gulp of wine, then said nonchalantly, "I'm not afraid of anything, I've never been afraid of anyone in my life!"

Night Song: "..."

Xia Xiyao muttered under her breath, "If you've never been afraid of anyone, then why are you hiding in this remote town with an assumed name?"

Gao Shenxue looked at Ye Ge and said, "This person seems difficult to communicate with, what should we do?"

Nangong Qiuyue scratched her head: "Should we try to persuade them again? Otherwise, the people from the gene company will be here soon."

"...What's the point of trying to reason with a bastard like that?" Ye Ge waved his hand: "Beat him! Beat him unconscious and tie him up!"

The disheveled man paused for a moment, then looked up and said, "You..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish speaking, a heavy punch landed squarely on his face.

It hit him so hard he saw stars...

It was a steel mechanical fist the size of a clay pot.

Gao Shenxue held the controller, controlling a humanoid robot covered in steel, and knocked the disheveled man to the ground with a single punch.

The sloppy man fell flat on his face on the ground, knocking over the table and spilling the wine.

"Damn it!" The disheveled man suddenly sprang to his feet, wiping away the blood streaming from his nose, and unleashed the power of the Zhu Yan: "I fucking... Awooooooo~!!"

However, as soon as he stood up, he was grabbed by the robot controlled by Gao Shenxue and punched several times.

The disheveled man tried to grab the robot's arm, but unexpectedly his hair was pulled instead, and he was slapped repeatedly across the face.

Then she grabbed his calf, spun him around in a circle, slamming him to the left, then to the right, then back to the left...

Until all the tables in the tavern were smashed to pieces.

Finally, the humanoid robot tightly embraced the disheveled man, unleashing a million volts of electricity that sent the man sputtering and rolling his eyes, before he collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably...

Gao Shenxue put down the controller and said calmly, "She must be dizzy."

other people:"......"

Ye Ge rubbed his nose, thinking that this was indeed much more efficient than slowly persuading him...

"There's no time to lose," Ye Ge said. "Let's start copying before they arrive."

five minutes later.

A makeshift operating room.

The unconscious, disheveled man was bound hand and foot and placed on the operating table.

Gao Shenxue took out an anesthetic, flicked the needle, and then injected the drug into his neck.

This is to prevent him from waking up in the middle of the night.

All the equipment in the operating room was taken out of the system inventory by Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue. It wasn't complete, but it was enough.

After putting on gloves and inserting the instrument wires into the sloppy man's forehead, Baihui point, and temples, Gao Shenxue sat down at the computer desk next to him and quickly typed on the keyboard.

[Data copy complete...]

[Start 3D printing replication]

[Copying...]

Progress: 1%...

Progress: 2%...

Next to the operating table where the disheveled man lay, there was a high-tech bed pod.

It's somewhat like a hibernation pod in space.

Inside the pod, a humanoid figure that looks exactly like the disheveled man is gradually materializing with the "beep beep beep" of 3D printing.

Xia Xiyao, Yu Li, Qu Qu, Nangong Qiuyue, and Bai Xueling stood beside the bed and looked on curiously.

"That's amazing..." Xia Xiyao asked curiously, "Xue'er, what's the principle behind it?"

Gao Shenxue replied, "The underlying principle of this clone is actually no different from that of the 'cloning technique,' except that one involves the original body actively creating clones, while the other involves me forcibly creating clones through external intervention."

"At the same time, I can perform gene editing on him while printing him, modifying the clone's genetic data. In this way, even if the gene company takes him back and analyzes his cell samples, the data they get will be wrong."

Ye Ge said, "Just like last time when they wanted to analyze my genetic cells?"

"More or less." Gao Shenxue paused. "However, the data I edited for you that time wasn't very accurate. This time, I only slightly modified a few of the more important data points, enough to make it look completely real."

"How indecent?" Ye Ge tilted her head: "By the way, what data did you edit for them last time? Why did Karl look at me with such a complicated expression, almost like he was looking at a monster?"

"..." Gao Shenxue did not speak.

[Progress: 100%]

[3D printing replication complete!]

The glass dome of the technological bed slowly opened.

Gao Shenxue took out a remote control and pressed the control button.

The disheveled male replica in the bed slowly stood up, but his eyes were lifeless, making him look like an empty robot.
