Jack took a deep breath, calming his somewhat agitated mood. He didn't need such a complex future; he just needed to know that, according to Dr. Genus's theoretical calculations, the Source Points provided by each "Evolution Cell" were at least ten times more than the original Monster Cell.
That was enough.
He nodded repeatedly in his heart, casually offering a few words of encouragement, but then heard Dr. Genus continue to drop even more explosive news.
"After thousands of simulated performance parameter screenings of gene sequences, I have already formulated the most cost-effective clone cultivation plan."
"According to the data, the conventional performance of a single finished product can reach about thirty percent of the original Carnage Kabuto, and it perfectly retains its core ability—'Ashura Mode'—also possessing the ability to significantly strengthen in a berserk state."
Dr. Genus reported in meticulous detail.
"Of course—the current plan still has flaws. The pure, brutal instinct for battle and destruction in the original gene—we are temporarily unable to remove through technical means. Even with the highest-grade biological chip currently implanted, it can only be barely controlled, and once it enters 'Ashura Mode,' the risk of losing control is extremely high."
He paused.
"But I think this point, Boss—you probably won't care."
"That's right! Doctor, you've done very well."
Thirty percent of the original performance was solidly Dragon-level (low) strength, and after activating berserk mode, it would definitely reach Dragon (mid) threshold—or even higher. Jack nodded, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.
"As for the flaw you mentioned… perhaps I can help solve it."
"Ah…?"
Dr. Genus instinctively let out a surprised sound, then immediately realized his gaffe, quickly cupped his hand over his mouth, pretending to cough twice. He asked cautiously, "Boss—do you also have research in the field of genetic science?"
"Not at all."
Jack answered calmly, not shying away from the fact that he was a poor student.
"I just happen to have a tiny bit of convenient Monster superpower."
Dr. Genus was speechless for a moment.
…Superpower—that's really convenient!
The doctor sighed silently in his heart as the elevator smoothly reached the lowest level of the base. At this moment, the House of Evolution headquarters base looked completely new, showing no traces of the damage caused by the previous intense battle. Every inch of the alloy walls gleamed with a cold metallic luster, full of the texture of future technology.
Dr. Genus led the way, respectfully asking, "Boss—which project do you want to start inspecting?"
Jack forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart that a large sum of Source Points was about to arrive, maintaining a calm demeanor on the surface, and said in a deep voice, "Then let's go see the mass production laboratory for the Monster Cell first."
"Okay, Boss." Dr. Genus gestured with his hand. "Please follow me."
Passing through a heavy alloy gate like a city wall, a magnificent circular laboratory appeared before Jack. In the laboratory, a dozen Genus clones were busy, countless data streams flashing rapidly across the holographic screens before them—the work atmosphere tense and orderly. Seeing the two approach, all the clones immediately stopped their work, turned around, and bowed respectfully.
In the center of the laboratory stood a gigantic cylindrical cultivation tank with a diameter of over ten meters. The main body was composed of special alloy and several meters thick reinforced glass, and it was filled with a light green nutrient solution that exuded a life-like aura. Hundreds of thousands of pipes of varying thicknesses connected from the ceiling and the ground to the top and base of the cultivation tank, and the intricate wiring revealed a beauty of extreme scientific planning.
Jack came to the cultivation tank and looked inside through the thick glass. He saw that every now and then, one of the ten arm-thick pipe openings above would, after a slight squirming, plop out a twisted lump of flesh resembling a heart with tentacles. These lumps of flesh slowly tumbled in the nutrient solution, eventually falling to the bottom of the tank and accumulating. These newly formed twisted lumps of flesh were consistent in size with the original Monster Cell, their surfaces covered with more complex biological patterns, and even through the thick glass, one could feel the strange and alluring life energy emanating from within.
Compared to the giant tank, the total amount of Monster Cells accumulated at the bottom was pitifully small at this time—but Jack didn't care at all. His eyes almost turned green.
After receiving so many rich woman's rewards for so long—finally, I have my own money printer!
"This is the fully automatic mass production device for the first-generation 'Monster Cell.'"
Dr. Genus stood beside Jack, introducing like a dutiful tour guide.
"After our optimization, the performance of the final product has a slight increase of about thirty to fifty percent compared to the original material you provided, Boss."
The surprises of the day had almost made his ears calloused, but Jack's heart still trembled. The performance actually improved!
Unexpected, but not surprising. He had come to understand that in the eyes of a top perfectionist scientist like Genus, any flaw or imperfection was intolerable. As long as it passed through his hands, he would undoubtedly find every way to optimize and upgrade it. Anyway, it was just a matter of convenience.
"Take out ten first." Jack ordered concisely.
"Yes!"
A clone immediately responded and skillfully operated the control panel a few times. Soon, a mechanical arm extended from the side of the cultivation tank, precisely grasping ten Monster Cells and transferring them through a sterile pipeline to the sample table outside.
Jack didn't hesitate at all, directly reaching out and grabbing the ten pulsating, twisted lumps of flesh in his hand. Within a breath, the ten House of Evolution version Monster Cells rapidly shriveled and withered at a visible speed, finally turning to ashes in his palm with a plop.
Instantly refined.
[Conversion successful! Gained Source Points × 1,420!]
The familiar system prompt sounded clearly in his mind, and Jack clapped his hands in satisfaction, feeling great. Just as Dr. Genus said, the House of Evolution version of the Monster Cell indeed contained far more life energy than the original. Just ten of them converted into nearly fifteen hundred Source Points—perfectly illustrating what "technology is the primary productive force" means.
If this were fully upgraded to "Evolution Cell" and production capacity was maximized… that scene was too beautiful to even imagine.
Beside him, Dr. Genus and the clones witnessed this scene, their amazement evident. The more they understood and explored, the more they discovered that the boss had secrets as numerous as the stars.
Dr. Genus couldn't help but adjust his glasses, his heart burning.
—If only he could study the boss's body… Gulp…!
