Chapter 190: Indirect Influence
“Where was I?”
Inside the laboratory, a voice filled with confusion sounded.
“Bloodline modification. My lord brought me into the laboratory.”
In an instant, Lin Hai, who had undergone bloodline modification, had his consciousness become clear.
Just as Lin Hai was about to rise from the experimental platform, he discovered that his body was restrained by shackles.
Instinctively struggling, he found that he could not break free from the restraints, yet he could clearly feel a powerful force surging within his body.
“Is this the benefit brought by bloodline modification?”
While Lin Hai was immersed in the powerful strength brought by the bloodline modification, the laboratory’s intelligent assistant, Snake Spirit, immediately transmitted the news of Lin Hai’s awakening to Zhou Ming.
At this moment, Lin Hai also felt somewhat puzzled. Why were my lord and Professor Su not in the laboratory? Could something have happened in the camp, leaving them no time to attend to me?
After sensing the changes in his body, Lin Hai pondered his current situation. Just as he was considering whether to break free from the restraints, the laboratory door was suddenly opened.
“Awake?”
A familiar voice sounded beside Lin Hai’s ear, and he hurriedly raised his head to look toward the laboratory entrance.
“My lord.”
Zhou Ming did not respond immediately, but instead issued an order to Snake Spirit.
“Release the restraints on the experimental subject.”
As the words fell, the alloy shackles on the experimental platform immediately retracted.
“How do you feel now?”
Seeing Lin Hai’s streamlined, well-defined muscles, Zhou Ming began to ask about his condition.
“I feel much stronger, as if I could barehandedly smash a low-tier ferocious beast.”
Facing Zhou Ming’s inquiry, Lin Hai revealed an excited expression and hurriedly described his feelings.
At this moment, he finally understood the feeling the Snake Guards had when facing his lord. The other party was an unshakable, towering figure in his heart, and every word and action of that person was the rule he believed in.
After he rose from the experimental platform, facing Zhou Ming standing before him, he instinctively lowered his head, as if he dared not look directly into the other party’s eyes.
As time passed, this feeling would be deeply engraved in Lin Hai’s heart, eventually leaving only the thought of submission.
“Besides bloodline modification, I also specially modified your gallbladder organ. Close your eyes and calm your mind, and rely on instinct to uncover the power that belongs to you.”
“Yes.”
Regarding Zhou Ming’s command, Lin Hai had no extra thoughts at all. Even if the other party had privately decided to carry out a second modification on him, Lin Hai felt nothing was wrong.
As Lin Hai’s excited emotions gradually calmed down, he slowly sensed abnormal changes appearing within his body.
Because of his heartfelt trust in Zhou Ming, Lin Hai did not feel panicked. Instead, he proactively guided these changes to manifest.
The next moment, Lin Hai felt as if his pores were able to breathe, and something was clearly being “expelled” from his body.
As a sweet, cloying smell began to spread, Lin Hai could sense a stream of gas being released from within his body.
“This is…”
“Snake venom. After special adjustment, it is mainly paralysis-oriented. It can cause the target’s limbs to go limp and the mind to grow dizzy.”
When modifying the gallbladder organ, Zhou Ming had ultimately removed the corrosive nature of the snake venom as well as its other traits.
Apart from worrying that Lin Hai might not be able to withstand it, he was also concerned that Lin Hai might not be able to control the venom, thereby causing harm to others in the camp.
“Thank you, my lord.”
“If you want to thank someone, thank yourself. Since you were willing to bear the risk, this is the reward you deserve.”
“I just briefly sensed the venom you released. It is enough to affect low-tier ferocious beasts, but the onset time of the snake venom is relatively slow. For now, it can only be used as an auxiliary method in the short term.”
Without the need for special testing, Zhou Ming only needed to lightly inhale the venom released by Lin Hai to judge its effect and potency.
After that, Zhou Ming continued to issue instructions.
“As for how to use your bloodline power, go to the Training Department and have Qiu Tieyi teach you. Practicing the Snake King Body should also help you enhance the potency of the snake venom within your body.”
“In addition, regarding how to use snake venom, you need to practice repeatedly on your own. Do not do this within the camp.”
“If an accident really happens, your blood has detoxifying abilities. Provide timely aid to those injured by you.”
“Yes, my lord. This subordinate will absolutely not use snake venom within the camp.”
“Mm.”
After Zhou Ming slowly nodded, he immediately assigned Lin Hai a task.
“From now on, regarding changes in the snake venom and other aspects, you are to record data at all times, organize it at regular intervals, and submit it to me.”
“Yes, my lord. This subordinate guarantees completion of the task.”
Lin Hai immediately accepted the task assigned by Zhou Ming, and a thought arose in his heart—this was a mission he absolutely had to complete.
After confirming that Lin Hai’s modification was complete, Zhou Ming cleared away the snake venom permeating the laboratory, and only then allowed Lin Hai to leave.
