Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Laboratory Testing of the Fruit

An Wen felt at ease after he flattened the mountain mine.

When he checked the time, it was already ten o’clock in the evening. He was not going to continue working, so he decided to take a bath.

After packing up at the mining site, he returned to the base.

Just as he was preparing to take a bath, Yuan Pan grabbed him.

“Oh, oh… I still remember. I’ll bring you the fruits now.”

An Wen only recalled his deal with Yuan Pan when he grabbed him.

Coming to the warehouse, he picked up ten fruits.

“I’ll get them tested in the laboratory tomorrow.”

An Wen also started drooling when he saw the fruits, but he truly did not dare to eat them before having them tested in the laboratory.

Indeed, Yuan Pan was unharmed after eating them. He even grew bigger.

However, that was precisely why An Wen was afraid.

Those fruits were clearly able to disrupt the growth rate of living creatures, though there did not seem to be any side effects.

It was alright that Yuan Pan grew bigger after eating the fruits since he was just a tortoise, and it was not a big deal that he was slightly bigger than usual.

If a person ate them and his body grew bigger, he would become the next Yao Ming.

“Here you go.”

An Wen gave the fruits to Yuan Pan and went for a bath.

Yuan Pan laid on the ground, eating one whole fruit in one bite. He was extremely happy.

It’s so delicious!

ლ(´ڡ`ლ)

However, before long, he stopped.

He had eaten the fruits too quickly, and there was only one fruit left in front of him now.

Where did my fruits disappear to?

How did the large pile of fruits vanish?

Yuan Pan blinked. Looking at the last fruit remaining in front of him, he became reluctant to eat it. A pitiful expression emerged on his face once again.

Stretching out his claws, he carefully grabbed the fruit and slowly brought it closer to his mouth.

Nibble!

He took a small bite of the fruit and chewed.

Nibble!

He took another small bite and continued chewing.

Crunch!

Unknowingly, he placed the fruit in his mouth and took a large bite.

His shell trembled, and then, he was completely stunned.

o((⊙﹏⊙))o

Looking at a large part of the fruit disappearing into his mouth, Yuan Pan was anguished.

When An Wen emerged from the bathroom, he saw Yuan Pan licking his claws while lying on the floor.

He was speechless.

Ever since Yuan Pan ‘leveled up’ and possessed attributes, he grew more and more strange.

It was even learning to lick his claws like a cat now!

“You’re a tortoise, not a cat, so stop licking your claws,” An Wen said to Yuan Pan.

Looking up, Yuan Pan looked at An Wen, then lifted his claws. Carefully, he ‘pointed’ at his mouth and opened his claws.

However, the dexterity of a tortoise with its claws was not as strong as primates.

As such, the remnants of the flesh of the fruit in the fine gaps between his claws dropped directly to the ground.

Yuan Pan’s shell trembled once again, his claws froze in mid-air.

What…?

An Wen was slightly bewildered after watching Yuan Pan’s movements.

Looking down, he saw a piece of the flesh of the fruit that was even smaller than the size of the nail of a pinkie on the ground.

Seriously…

An Wen glanced at the flesh of the fruit on the ground, then looked at Yuan Pan.

The expression on his face could well be turned into part of a sticker pack.

Weak, pitiful, and powerless, but still a glutton.jpg

“Alright, alright, I’ll let you eat one more, don’t be sad anymore.”

An Wen couldn’t watch such a sight any longer, so he fetched one more fruit from the warehouse for Yuan Pan.

(*^▽^*)

Yuan Pan was extremely happy as he gripped the fruit.

Returning home, An Wen checked his mobile phone and found that no one had called or texted him.

All the better, time to sleep.

The night passed uneventfully.

The following morning, after eating his breakfast, An Wen went to the drugstore to purchase several syringes without needles.

He was going to send the juice of the fruit to be tested in the laboratory, and not the whole fruit.

“Senior, are you free today?”

An Wen took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to his tenant, Xie Yuxin – the top-performing female senior who was specializing in life sciences.

He did not wish to test the fruit from the other world through a third-party.

The soil and water from the other world could still be explained by considering other reasons if there were abnormalities in the test results.

However, if there were abnormalities in the test results of the fruit, it would be extremely hard to explain.

An Wen was not afraid that the fruits from there had no special ‘effects’; what he was afraid of was that the special ‘effects’ of the fruit were too great.

If they were related to enhancement of the human body, prolonging life and curing diseases…

Ha!

Should he say that he only happened to find it by chance, then he should continue using the excuse of finding it ‘by chance’.

The moment he approaches a third-party organization to test the fruit, they would have detailed records of it and even possess surveillance camera footage of him walking into the building.

On the contrary, there would not be such a concern if he asked Xie Yuxin for help.

Even if there were indeed extraordinary substances in the fruit that could make a person stronger or extend a person’s life…

The weight carried by the words of Xie Yuxin alone would be insufficient to garner other people’s trust.

After all, in this world, there is no shortage of scammers.

At the extreme, would it be easier to handle one person alone or an entire organization?

Xie Yuxin replied: “Junior, what’s the matter?”

“Nothing much, I just want to have a look at the house. I would be more at ease if I could have a look personally at Senior’s laboratory in the house.” An Wen’s reply was perfectly logical.

He did not even mention that he needed Xie Yuxin’s help since he did not want to leave any evidence.

It’s perfectly logical for me to have a look after you made a laboratory in the house I own, no?

Xie Yuxin replied: “Sure, I’ll be back in half an hour.”

“Sorry for the trouble, it’s because I have OCD.”

Putting down his mobile phone, An Wen picked up an airtight, vacuum-packed bag containing five sealed syringes filled with fruit juice. Then, he went downstairs and drove over to the house that Xie Yuxin rented from him.

More than forty minutes later…

An Wen knocked on the door with fruits in his hand.

Xie Yuxin opened the door. She was wearing a white laboratory coat. When she looked at the fruits An Wen was holding, the solemn expression on her face subsided slightly.

After all, she had been performing experiments in the laboratory outside just now and was called back home by An Wen. No one would be pleased in such a situation.

“What would you like to drink?” Xie Yuxin asked.

“It’s alright, I usually drink iced cola,” An Wen replied.

Xie Yuxin was about to open the refrigerator door but turned around upon hearing what An Wen said.

As a Ph.D. student studying life sciences, she would certainly not drink carbonated drinks like cola.

“This is the room that I turned into a laboratory. You may have a look inside.”

Xie Yuxin got down to business straight away and opened the room door for An Wen to see.

An Wen walked in and found that the laboratory was indeed very different from what he had imagined.

There was some equipment inside – he could recognize the microscope and the freezer, but he did not know what the other small equipment was used for.

Regardless, they do not seem to be related to viruses, bacteria, and the like.

There were also several drugs on the table, but he did not know their purpose either.

“Senior, is this lab rat the brain-dead lab rat you are performing experiments on?”

An Wen asked while pointing to a laboratory rat that was lying motionless.

“It’s not brain-dead. I have only damaged the nerve tissues in the lab rat through surgery. After ten days of recovery, it still has no signs of recovery as yet.”

Xie Yuxin replied calmly. There was no trace of despair in her voice.

“Senior, is this the blood of the lab rat?”

“No, it’s hemoglobin. It’s used to regulate the amount of protein.”

“What about this?”

“This is a protein inhibitor.”

An Wen asked many questions out of curiosity and confirmed that there really was nothing related to viruses and the like inside the room.

Of course, most importantly, he confirmed that there were no cameras in the room.

“Do you have any more questions?”

“Mmm, Senior, are you able to test the composition of fruit juice here?”

Composition of fruit juice?

Xie Yuxin furrowed her brows and replied, “I can’t test it’s full composition here, but I’m able to test the organic substances in it.”
