Chapter 142: Deno Trio
“If you say it like that, I’m relieved.” March 7th patted her chest.
“Coo.” The panda cub ran over and clung to March 7th’s leg.
“A Bei, be good, go find Huaifeng first, your sister still has to practice sword.” March 7th bent down and put A Bei into Meng Huaifeng’s arms.
The little ball of fluff was very cute and comfortable to rub.
Meng Huaifeng rubbed A Bei while receiving the gene data of the First Generation Beast Body from Angel Yan.
First-generation super genes are not uncommon in the universe, and Angels do not care for such things, so Yan generously gave Meng Huaifeng the data for three different beast bodies.
Meng Huaifeng compared the differences in the genes of the three First Generation Beast Bodies while analyzing A Bei’s gene information.
Gene information is also information, composed of basic units, and different arrangements represent different gene expressions.
Although the basic components are different, they are essentially very similar to an information network.
Aether Editing can edit reality, and Meng Huaifeng can seamlessly edit gene information with a slight shift in his thinking.
However, being able to edit does not mean one fully understands genes. To figure out what each gene segment represents is no less than re-learning hacker technology.
This belongs to another discipline, biological genetics.
If Meng Huaifeng were to directly rewrite genes into super genes through Aether Editing, he could completely do so without requiring materials.
However, this would require Meng Huaifeng to have sufficient understanding of super genes; otherwise, the rewritten super genes would quickly be repaired by reality.
Of course, Meng Huaifeng doesn’t need to know what each super gene segment represents; he just needs to know how it’s composed and then imitate it.
With real science as support, the reality rewritten by Meng Huaifeng can become true and exist forever.
First-generation super genes are not overly complex. Meng Huaifeng is confident that with a little time, he can grasp the general idea, at least enough for him to truly rewrite reality.
As for second-generation super genes and above, the complexity of the genes increases geometrically, so Meng Huaifeng doesn’t plan to delve into them.
He understands the principle of not biting off more than he can chew; he hasn’t even mastered Aether Editing yet.
He always remembers that he is a hacker, not a biological geneticist.
For A Bei’s awakening, first-generation super genes are sufficient.
The primary use of super genes is to strengthen the body, control and carry energy, enhance computing power and information communication. Subsequently, various technological means are attached to super genes, also to improve these aspects.
And all of these can be achieved through cultivation and by becoming a Pathfinder.
There’s no need to continue upgrading super genes.
The system for pioneering new worlds and becoming stronger is complete!
This round, Meng Huaifeng scored big.
After researching super genes for a day, Meng Huaifeng looked up at the void in the sky.
“I almost forgot about the daily mission. I didn’t invade the Great Worm Bridge yesterday. I wonder if Karl misses me.”
Invasion, finish, sleep, all in one go!
Styx Galaxy.
“Was it one of them who invaded me?” Karl had virtual images of Meng Huaifeng and the other three floating before his eyes.
This was the information he obtained from invading Earth and Deno’s information network.
However, even if he knew it was Meng Huaifeng and his group, Karl couldn’t do anything about it unless he descended himself.
The dark information was hidden by Meng Huaifeng, even better than the concealment effect of Black Armor, so Karl couldn’t locate them at all.
“The firewall is about to be breached.” Karl sighed and, with a thought, switched to a firewall with a different structure.
He was considering whether to shut down the Great Worm Bridge above Blue Star. Leaving it there purely provided technology for others to advance.
He’ll wait a little longer and see if Liang Bing can deal with these bugs.
If he closes it, it takes a lot of energy to reopen it.
…
The next morning, the group headed to Superdimension Academy.
“It’s my first time being a teacher, I’m a little excited.” Looking at the grand gate of Superdimension Academy from afar, March 7th clasped her hands tightly over her chest.
“At least I went to school. You and A Xing never went to school, and you’re going to be teachers? Tsk tsk…” Meng Huaifeng teased.
“This young master was born with knowledge, I don’t need to go to school,” A Xing said shamelessly.
“What’s the point of going to school? You’re not teaching academics, and do you even understand their technology?” March 7th raised her chin.
“I’m not talented, just a little bit.” Meng Huaifeng said modestly.
“When did you learn it?” March 7th was surprised.
“Yesterday.”
“Hmph.”
Before they could enter the gate, they heard a cry for help.
“Help! Can any elder brother kindly let us down?”
“This is embarrassing, three grown men, being…”
“I want to go back, I’m not attending this lousy school anymore, I want to go home!”
“…”
As they approached, they saw three ragged down-and-outs tied to a pole by the roadside.
“Deno Trio?” A Xing read the words on a sign next to them.
“Beautiful ladies, don’t look, don’t look, it’s embarrassing.”
A tall, mature beauty and a lively, cute pink-haired girl.
Feeling so humiliated in front of the beautiful ladies, the three down-and-outs blushed, but their hands were tied tightly, otherwise, they would have covered their faces long ago.
“Are you… performing performance art?” A Xing asked.
“No. It’s because… we offended someone.” The three hurriedly shook their heads.
“What did you do to get yourselves tied up here?” March 7th asked curiously, wanting to hear the story before deciding whether to help.
“We… this… that…”
The three stammered. Three grown men who ambushed a girl and still lost were not only embarrassing to admit but would also affect their image in front of the beautiful ladies.
Although, they had no image to speak of right now.
“It seems you’ve done bad deeds, I’m not getting involved.” March 7th turned her head away.
“No, they tricked us into coming here first with some trick, and then they didn’t keep their word and beat us up, telling us to sing ‘Conquer’. We just wanted to get back at them,” Ge Xiaolun said aggrievedly.
“What is ‘Conquer’?” A Xing asked curiously.
The Deno Trio clearly didn’t want to answer this humiliating question and looked at Meng Huaifeng and Welt, who were behind the two women.
“Brother, please be kind and let us down. We’ll be eternally grateful,” Cheng Yaowen pleaded with Meng Huaifeng.
“That’s right, I, Brother Xin, have never been so humiliated in my life. Brother, let me down and I’ll recognize you as my Big Brother,” Zhao Xin also requested.
“Wait a moment, this wondrous sight should be enjoyed by all of us,” Meng Huaifeng took out his mobile phone.
Actually, he could take pictures without a phone, but life needs a sense of ritual.
“No, if you’re not going to help, fine, but you’re taking pictures? That’s too much, Brother Xin and I will fight you,” Zhao Xin flapped his legs, desperately trying to kick Meng Huaifeng.
“Enjoy it with everyone? He even wants to post it online! How will we three brothers show our faces then?” Cheng Yaowen’s tied hands strained.
“Death is acceptable, but social death is not! I’m going to date ten campus beauties this year, not become ten jokes!” Ge Xiaolun’s arm muscles bulged, veins showing.
However, whether it was because the rope Qiangwei used was of high quality, or because the Deno Trio was too weak, after struggling for a long time, they couldn’t break free.
“I thought you were going to break free and beat me up. Is that all? I ask you, if you encountered such a wondrous sight on the road, would you take a picture? Don’t lie,” Meng Huaifeng asked.
The Deno Trio exchanged glances. Alright, if they encountered something exciting, they would definitely take a couple of pictures and post them on Moments to show their friends and family.
“Don’t worry, I won’t post it online, I’ll only show it to a few companions,” Meng Huaifeng said as he untied them.
The Deno Trio exchanged glances again, simultaneously cracking their knuckles and tilting their necks with a ‘crackling’ sound.
Cheng Yaowen smirked maliciously, “You dare to untie us after taking embarrassing photos of us and then not run? I must say, you have a lot of courage.”
“We three brothers are clear about grudges. Since you did help us once, we’ll let this matter go if you delete the photos,” Zhao Xin said.
“Otherwise, don’t blame us brothers for being impolite,” Ge Xiaolun added.
“How will you be impolite?” Meng Huaifeng tilted his head.
One minute later.
“Big Brother,” the Deno Trio respectfully bowed their heads to Meng Huaifeng.
“Mm, don’t worry, Big Brother will take good care of you in the future,” Meng Huaifeng nodded with satisfaction.
“Big Brother, you’re so powerful, were you also tricked into coming to this lousy academy?” Ge Xiaolun asked.
“Hmm, not exactly tricked,” Meng Huaifeng replied.
“We arrived a day earlier than you, Big Brother. You have no idea, this academy is a real scam. They promised me I’d share a dorm with beautiful girls, which is why I agreed to come, but instead…”
The group chatted as they entered Superdimension Academy.
Lian Feng had already arranged for people to wait and guide them to their offices.
Although Meng Huaifeng and the others would likely not use the offices, one could have them even if not used.
The Deno Trio thought they were being led to their dorms by academy staff and enthusiastically offered to help, but Meng Huaifeng refused.
In reality, the officials did want to arrange dorms for them, but Meng Huaifeng and the others didn’t accept. They were here to be teachers, not students. With a villa to live in, why would they need dorms?
That little distance was nothing to them.
The offices arranged by the officials for the four were extremely luxurious, with snack cabinets, televisions, advanced computers, and speakers, all for each person individually.
However, not long after, A Xing and March 7th moved their computers to Meng Huaifeng’s side.
In A Xing’s words, playing alone wasn’t as fun; it was livelier when everyone was together.
The train crew came out of their offices and toured Superdimension Academy, seeing many recruited students.
They had more or less awakened some extraordinary abilities but were destined to be only backup candidates.
Blue Star’s resources are limited, and the first phase of resources will be entirely dedicated to a few individuals on the priority list.
Plus, Qilin, a Shenhe sniper who doesn’t require many resources but can be quite effective, offering excellent cost-effectiveness.
In the afternoon, the first class of enrollment officially began.
It was essentially just for everyone to get to know each other and understand Earth’s current situation.
“Oh, Benefactor, you’re here too.”
As the train crew entered the classroom, they heard Rui Mengmeng’s surprised voice.
“It’s you? Thank you for saving me and everyone else a few days ago,” Qilin also walked over and thanked March 7th.
She didn’t know who had released the shield protecting everyone, but she saw March 7th kill those Taotie Warriors.
“It was nothing.” March 7th said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.
Lana nodded at the train crew. Seeing that the scheduled attendees were all present, she began playing videos on the large screen at the front of the classroom, showing the Taotie Warriors’ invasion and the appearance and capture of crocodile-men in other countries.
“No way, there are really aliens?” Ge Xiaolun exclaimed incredulously.
“Are we… here to do this?” Cheng Yaowen swallowed, no wonder he was called here when he was just farming.
“Fight aliens? What the hell?” Zhao Xin said.
“That little crocodile from before looked quite cute,” A Xing suddenly said.
“Cute? Sister, is your aesthetic problem?” Qiangwei said speechlessly.
“That’s God of Crocodiles Soton, a Third Generation Beast Body. It’s recorded in your Blue Star’s mythology. In its full state, it can easily destroy a country and has eaten countless people,” Lana explained.
“I didn’t realize that. It was easily captured by a few soldiers,” A Xing scratched her head.
“It must have just been revived or unsealed, lacking energy, so it couldn’t exert much strength,” Lana analyzed.
Meng Huaifeng frowned slightly. God of Crocodiles Soton appeared so soon?
The original story had been reset several times, and the plot itself was chronologically chaotic. He wasn’t sure which version of this world it was, or if it was a fusion of versions.
The plot of his original world could at most serve as a reference in this world; he really couldn’t believe it entirely.
“It’s a pity I didn’t visit the tourist attraction where this guy was sealed when I traveled abroad before, otherwise I could have dug him out earlier,” Meng Huaifeng said with some regret.
“Then let’s quickly visit all the tourist attractions on Blue Star and see if there are any other spots where things are sealed,” A Xing said with some anticipation.
“I think that’s a good idea,” March 7th agreed.
The screen continued to show footage of Taotie Warriors attacking Ju Xia City.
“My Mafia boss told me to fight aliens, what was he thinking?” Liu Chuang suddenly said from a corner by the window in the classroom.
“What the hell, you’re here too?” Ge Xiaolun finally noticed Liu Chuang in the corner, saying with disgust.
“Mafia?” Rui Mengmeng whispered.
“What Mafia, at most an unemployed adult,” Qiangwei said dismissively.
“Hey, you look down on me? I’m a Mafia boss, I have dozens of brothers outside, do you know that?” Liu Chuang leaned on the table, looking aggressive. “The aliens you’re afraid of, they didn’t kill anyone after fighting for so long. The bloodshed I and my subordinates experienced when fighting for territory was much more than that.”
“So those aliens aren’t that amazing either. I watched for a long time and didn’t see anyone get killed. Aliens, that’s it? You want me to be the leader of this Xiong Bing Lian? I’ll lead you to fight aliens. I’m in the underworld, and I only care about this.”
“Hmph, what do you, a hooligan leader, know? It’s not that aliens can’t kill people because they’re weak, but because someone protected everyone. Otherwise, who knows how many casualties there would have been, and they might not have even been stopped!” Qilin couldn’t stand his arrogant assumption that he didn’t see the help behind their benefactor, so she stood up and retorted.
“Oh, it’s you again, Sister Qilin. You say someone protected those people, how did they protect them? Is that scientific? I may not have studied much, but I know to believe in science. Don’t tell me it’s metaphysics… Wait, aliens have appeared, so there really is metaphysics in this world, right? Who did that?” Liu Chuang suddenly remembered something, his eyes widening.
“Could it be that day…” Ge Xiaolun also remembered when he and Liu Chuang fought many days ago, and neither could hurt the other at first.
Qilin looked at Meng Huaifeng and the others. She didn’t know if it was science or metaphysics.
“That’s right, it’s this Galaxy Bat Man!” A Xing said, putting her hands on her hips proudly.
“Big Sister, please take me as a disciple! I want to learn cultivation!” Ge Xiaolun slid to his knees, trying to grab A Xing’s leg, but A Xing dodged him in disgust.
The reset version is more detailed, so I have to adopt some of its settings, but parts of the old version will be retained. For some conflicting parts, I will arrange them as needed.
