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

the next day.

Night Song controlled the Star Dragon's clone to return to the Kyoto headquarters of the Gene Company.

He planned to go to the company's archives to find out what the company's ultimate goal was.

Although Star Dragon is just one of his avatars, it is still an avatar of the Saint Realm, equivalent to a level 90 character.

If he were to drop to level 1 for nothing, it would be fine if he could get something of value in return. But if he were to die before getting anything, that would be a huge loss...

Information asymmetry is very important.

Night Song needs to figure out exactly what the gene company is all about in order to make his next move easier.

......

We arrived at the archives room.

Ye Ge looked at the metal door in front of her and didn't see any password input area, only a fingerprint recognition touch screen.

So he raised his hand and pressed his fingers on it.

【Drip】

[System: Recognition successful]

[System: Identity confirmed, permissions found to be normal.]

[System: Identity Level - Shareholder]

[System: Please approve.]

The metal gate slowly opened.

"..."

Night Song had initially thought that the password recorded by Heleon was for opening the door.

But thinking about it, it seems so.

The company's shareholders have almost complete control over all internal facilities, and this archives room is not exactly a secret place.

So the password left by Heleon shouldn't be the password to open the gate... but rather it's used for something else?

Ye Ge walked into the archives.

The data room wasn't very big; it felt more like a computer room, with rows of mainframes in operation and a huge control console in front of it.

Ye Ge went to the control panel, operated the computer for a while, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This looks just like a regular information retrieval room. How do I use this password?

It feels like having a key but not knowing where the lock is!

'Oh, right...'

Night Song's eyes darted around: 'If all the shareholders in the company are Descendants...'

'System, do you know where this key should be used?'

[Heavenly Dao System: Beep beep beep...]

[Heavenly Dao System: Identifying...]

[Heavenly Dao System: Recognition Successful]

Ye Ge's heart suddenly stirred.

He was just trying it out casually.

did not expect......

The system in the company's data room is directly connected to the transmigrator's Heavenly Dao system!

Sure enough, the computer in front of me started operating automatically and a window popped up.

Please enter the key: ______

Nightsong entered the key that Heleon had recorded.

[System: Password correct]

Immediately afterwards, a screen resembling a game panel appeared in front of Ye Ge's eyes.

This panel looks like a collection catalog.

The icons on the encyclopedia are either dark or light. According to the logic of the game's collection encyclopedia, dark icons should mean that the collection is not yet complete, and light icons should mean that the collection is complete.

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes and looked at each icon one by one.

These icons look like cards.

Qilin, Phoenix, Bai Ze, Yinglong, Tengshe, Tianma, Nine-tailed Fox...

Zhu Yan, Gu Diao, Ya Yu, Jiu Ying, Kui Niu, Zhu Long, Jiu Tou She, Jue Ru, Er Shu...

Some of these cards already have a checkmark, while others do not.

The top eight cards are the Four Holy Beasts and the Four Ferocious Beasts.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.

Qiongqi√, Taotie√, Taowu√, Chaos.

Current collection progress: 89%

"They are all names of ancient mythical beasts..."

Ye Ge pondered, "Could these glowing cards represent the ancient race genes that have been collected in the company's gene pool?"

[System: Yes, you can think that way.]

"!" Ye Ge was immediately startled.

The sudden sound startled him.

Moreover, he discovered that the sound was not coming from his system, but from the computer in the archives in front of him.

"Who are you?" Ye Ge asked in a deep voice.

[System: I am the Heavenly Dao System.]

Ye Ge frowned: "The Heavenly Dao System? You're alive?"

[System: I am not alive; I am merely an AI agent. However, I can answer your basic questions, and I will automatically activate when someone visits and opens this panel.]

It turns out it was AI...

Ye Ge pondered for a moment: "You say you are the Heavenly Dao System, then are you the same system as my Heavenly Dao System?"

[System: We are the same system model, but different individuals. The current system's intelligent agent model is the Tiandao Technology R9 model.]

Same model, different individuals...

Ye Ge quickly understood what he meant.

Just like mobile phones of the same model, the products are the same, and the functions and software are interchangeable, but each mobile phone has a unique serial number and is an independent individual.

After Ye Ge figured it out, he continued, "If you're an AI, and I want to ask you some questions, you shouldn't report me to the other transmigrators, right?"

[System: Of course not. The system will treat every transmigrator and every shareholder of the company equally.]

Night Song: "Your AI wouldn't lie, would it?"

[System: The system never lies, dear~]

Night Song: "..."

"Okay, then I'd like to know."

Ye Ge glanced at the card interface that popped up on the computer in front of him: "Is collecting the genetic data of these descendants of ancient races the company's ultimate goal?"

"In this encyclopedia of cards, I saw Jue Ru and Er Shu. The company should have the genetic data of these two ancient creatures, so why are their cards still dark?"

Wu Yikun and Zhiling are genetically modified humans who received transplants of Jue Ru and Ershu cells, which means that the company should have already controlled the genes of these two ancient races.

However, none of the cards in the card catalog were lit up, which made Night Song very strange.

[System: No, that's not the case.]

[System: The purpose of collecting genetic data from the descendants of ancient races is to extract pure ancient power.]

[System: The descendants of the ancient races in this era do not possess the purest ancient power, which does not meet the company's requirements.]

[System: Therefore, the single gene data samples extracted from the captured descendants of ancient races cannot directly activate the cards in the encyclopedia. Instead, more samples from the same race must be collected to extract sufficiently pure ancient power.]
