The result of the first adjustment was very successful, even beyond Fangzheng's expectations. But just as he expected, when the power was fully released, the individual would also undergo different changes due to the Enterovirus infection.
Xia Shi's body shape would not change even if he released 100% of his power. That was because the dolphin factor prioritized optimizing her brain and nervous system, so there was almost no change in her physical appearance. Her psionic energy level was stable at Level-9, and her maximum release could reach Level-10, which was the level of a high-ranking Templar. Fangzheng classified Xia Shi, a cursed child who would not mutate even if he released 100% of his power, as a Level 1 mutation.
The second level was similar to Lan Yuan Yanzhu and Tina Sprout. Normally, they looked no different from ordinary children, but when they released more than 50% of their strength, part of their physical appearance would change — Yanzhu, who had the rabbit genes, would grow rabbit ears, and would have the super hearing and jumping ability of a rabbit. Tina's mutation was more enviable. She grew wings, had super night vision, and could clearly aim at any target within a two-kilometer radius.
Their psionic energy level was stable at around Level-7, and when they released 100% of their power, they could be promoted to Level-8, which was basically the level of Zealots.
But relatively speaking, Bushi Cui, a cursed child who was born with a partial mutation, was not so lucky. After the fusion transformation, Bushi Cui still had her cat ears, and she even had an extra tail. The only consolation was that the girl in this form would not mutate a second time even if she released 100% of her power. Not only that, but perhaps because of the genetic mutation, Bushi Cui had strong melee combat ability and powerful psionic energy like Xia Shi. Her psionic energy level was stable at Level-9, but when she released 100% of her power, she could reach Level-10.
But what troubled Fangzheng the most were the two insect gene holders, Rising Dawn and Red Dew Fire Pendulum.
If Bushtree and Hina, who possessed animal genes, were able to display some sort of cuteness after they were liberated, then the complete liberation of these two would be more of a headache.
After the Power Release reaches 50%, the Ninsei Rising Dawn Glow with the Beetle Factor will be covered in armor similar to a chitinous insect shell, and two huge curved blades will appear on the arms. The Red Dew Fire Pendulum with the Japanese snail gene would have even more exaggerated effects. The bones in her body would disappear. In other words, she would become a mollusk. Although she still had a human appearance, she no longer had bones. Her limbs could also be stretched and transformed at will ….
This reminded Fangzheng of a certain non-swimmer in a straw hat ….
Their psionic energy levels were also the lowest among all of them, with an average of Level-6. Once they were fully liberated, they would only reach Level-7. However, their body's regenerative abilities were extremely powerful. The Ninth Life Dawn Glow was at Rank 3, and its regenerative abilities were comparable to that of a Thunder Beast. The Red Dew Fire Pendulum was even more exaggerated. Perhaps because her regeneration level was already relatively high, but after the fusion, her regeneration level had reached Level-4. With just one more step, she could directly enter the final stage of immortality. Even in the vacuum of the universe, she could regenerate from the molecular level.
Based on the results of the current adjustments, almost all of the Cursed Children's adjustments were developing in a positive direction. However, due to the different virus infections, the characteristics and powers that the Cursed Children displayed after the fusion were also different.
There were those like Longevity Summer, who specialized in psionic energy because he had developed his brain.
There were also those like Yan Zhu and Tina, who combined psionic energy with physical enhancement.
Bushi Cui, on the other hand, was a completely mutated enhanced body that specialized in all aspects.
On the other hand, the possessor of the insect gene seemed to have given up on psionic energy and focused on physical enhancement.
Of course, the problem faced by the possessor of the insect gene was … .between beauty and strength, they had to make a choice.
Fangzheng could not say anything about it. He could only let them decide for themselves.
After all, although all the Cursed Children had strong combat power, not everyone was willing to fight. For the Cursed Children who were unwilling to join the battle or focused on logistics, there was naturally no need for them to sacrifice too much.
After the adjustment, they could no longer be called the "Cursed Children". After all, the name sounded full of discrimination. So Fangzheng gave them a new name …. "Tweakers".
Perhaps Homo Evolutis were also a good choice? Of course, they would not drive a Gundam … .let alone such a thing … .it was impossible to create such a thing with normal technology.
Other than that, there was nothing that worried Fangzheng. For example, there was no major change in their temperament or any change in their diet due to the animals' habits. None of these problems occurred. After confirming that the first batch of Tweakers had succeeded, Fangzheng brought them back to the Tendo Temple.
As the saying goes, facts speak louder than words. After witnessing the strength of the first batch of Tweakers with their own eyes, and no longer having to worry about becoming monsters because of the Protoenteric Virus, the other Cursed Children also made up their minds and began to sign up to join the Tweakers.
However, Fangzheng did not immediately transform all the Cursed Children into Tweakers. Although everything looked normal on paper, he knew very well that normal data did not mean that everything was normal. To ensure that there were no problems with these Tweakers, he had to obtain sufficient data in a real battle.
In this world, fighting with Protoenteric Viruses was obviously a good way to train the Tweakers.
But …. Fangzheng had no intention of doing it for free. This world was so corrupt that he had no interest in those guys who hid behind the monolith, struggling at death's door. Even if they were eaten by the Protoenteric Viruses, it was not a big deal to Fangzheng.
But … .if the other party was willing to pay a certain price, then it was not impossible for him to help.
Especially in the current situation.
With that thought in mind, Fangzheng narrowed his eyes. He glanced lazily at the city outside the window, then turned back to the TV in front of him. On the TV, a program host was holding a microphone with a serious expression while staring at the screen.
"According to the investigation of the Self-Defense Forces, the number of Protoenteric Viruses has been gradually increasing recently. Some experts say that this is the sign of the appearance of Taurus, one of the zodiacs that once caused a mass extinction. Why they appeared and where they will go are still unknown. We will continue to follow up on the report. Dear viewers …. "
Zodiac.
Looking at the dense mass of Protoenteric Viruses that appeared on the screen, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly. Zodiac was the general name for Phase V Protoenteric Viruses. They could also be considered the final boss of this world. The biggest similarity between them was that they had an extremely large body, a skin that was completely ineffective against ordinary weapons, and a strong regenerative ability. Most importantly, Phase V Protoenteric Viruses would not be affected by the magnetic field of the Bi Monolith. This meant that once these Phase V Protoenteric Viruses invaded a human city, the only outcome would be destruction.
According to the information, there were currently a total of 11 confirmed Zodiac Viruses. They were named after the 12 Zodiac Temples. This Taurus was one of them. Although the TV program did not state where it was going, Fangzheng knew very well that this Phase V Protoenteric Virus was heading towards the Tokyo area.
That was why he came here to drink the 1982 Lafite and wait for it to come to him.
* Knock knock *
While Fangzheng was enjoying the wine, there was a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Fangzheng smiled.
"Come in."
* Click. *
Just as he said that, the door opened. Following that, a man in a suit and leather shoes walked in respectfully. He looked at Fangzheng without a shred of spirit in his eyes, as though he was a robot.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Fangzheng?"
"I am. What's the matter?"
Putting down the glass in his hand, Fangzheng looked at the man in front of him with a smile. The man took out an invitation letter from his pocket and placed it on the table in front of Fangzheng.
"This is an invitation from the ruler of the Tokyo area, the Holy Son of Heaven. He has something important to discuss with you."
"What's the specific content?"
"I'm sorry, the specific content is confidential. I don't know. If you're interested, you can ask the Holy Son of Heaven directly."
"Interesting."
Hearing this answer, Fangzheng stood up, picked up the invitation letter on the table, and opened it. Sure enough, as Fangzheng expected, other than some meaningless words, the core content was nothing more than an important matter to discuss with Fangzheng and invited him to the Holy Residence.
Fangzheng wasn't surprised that the other party was able to track him down. After all, this was a developed city with surveillance cameras everywhere. Moreover, it wasn't the first time that he appeared in the name of the 'Tendo Temple' to protect the 'Cursed Children'. If the ruler of the Tokyo area didn't even know what he looked like, then he would be a failure.
But this is also good. Let me see the choice of this world.
Thinking until here, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth slightly curled up. He put away the invitation letter and looked at the man in front of him.
