Infinite Chimera Creation

Chapter Six: Luckily You're Not a Proud Dragon

Although the person before him addressed him as "master," Bai Ye, unaccustomed to the influence of various novels, wouldn't be an idiot to believe them based on a single sentence and immediately assume the master's position. He remained vigilant and asked coldly,

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

The night was cold, but the person opposite him was even colder, their voice devoid of any emotion, answering like a puppet.

"I don't know who I am. This is the mental space within the Purple Eye."

Upon hearing the term "purple eyes," Bai Ye's pupils contracted slightly. Although he had already suspected it, he was still somewhat surprised to hear the other party admit it himself.

After quickly adjusting his mindset and regaining his composure, Bai Ye frowned slightly and asked again.

"Don't know who you are? What does that mean?"

“I was born from this eye. I understand my responsibilities, know my abilities, and understand the process of my birth. Other than that, I have no memory of anything. Therefore, I do not know who I am.”

Bai Ye's eyes lit up, and he quickly said,

"Then could you tell me about your responsibilities and abilities? No, if possible, you should first tell me about your origins. I can't feel at ease if I don't know how you came to be."

The man with the purple eyes seemed to have no concept of refusal when facing Bai Ye. He answered whatever Bai Ye asked without hesitation.

"Not long ago, my predecessor, an ordinary Gastrea, was inexplicably pulled into the air and then fell into a coma. When I woke up again, I was back in the Forest Territory. But after waking up, strange changes immediately occurred to my predecessor. All the components of my body, including my soul, were absorbed into this eye, and in the end, the Purple Eye and I were born."

Although the man with purple eyes spoke in a cold tone, he was utterly sincere and didn't seem to be lying at all. In fact, he wasn't lying, because after Yuan Yuan made the changes, that's how his memories were.

Upon hearing the explanation, Bai Ye subconsciously believed it to some extent, because the description of being "pulled into the sky" clearly referred to the scene of Yuan Yuan's first experiment with the life essence. It seemed that the other party might have encountered an accident during his first ability development process after obtaining the life essence.

Although he somewhat trusted the other party, Bai Ye still frowned and asked,

"But I obtained this eye after killing a Gastrea. If what you're saying is true, then this eye should be lying alone in the forest right now. How do you explain this?"

"The Gastrea you killed was just an ordinary Gastrea that accidentally came into contact with the purple eye and went mad from the unbearable pain during the parasitization process."

Upon hearing the word "pain," Bai Ye instinctively trembled, recalling once again the pain she had endured that had nearly driven her to a mental breakdown.

Thankfully, I had a strong will and persevered to the end; otherwise, I probably would have gone mad and been killed by other Gastrea.

Unaware that the pain she was enduring was orchestrated by Yuan Yuan during the White Night, she naturally attributed her lack of madness due to the pain to her unwavering will.

"Alright, now I understand how you came to be. If you're not lying to me, then at least it proves you're not part of a conspiracy against me. So, let me introduce your duties and abilities."

With a forced smile on his Gastrea-like face, Bai Ye continued to ask.

The man with the purple eyes, naturally, didn't hide anything and told Bai Ye everything he knew.

Yuan Yuan, observing Bai Ye's performance through the hidden hand left in his purple eye, curled his lips into a somewhat wicked smile.

"It's not bad."

Although Yuan Yuan has already decided to create a transmigrator protagonist, if Bai Ye, after obtaining the Purple Eye, acts like an arrogant overlord with the attitude of "I am invincible and strong," accepting the Purple Eye without any consideration, then Yuan Yuan will definitely extract all of Bai Ye's memories and inject them into someone else's body for the reason of "it's annoying to look at," artificially creating a transmigrator, and then inhumanely destroying Bai Ye.

"Now that we have the cheat code and the protagonist's standard equipment, it's time to let him move freely. I hope our protagonist won't disappoint me when we meet again."

With a soft chuckle, Yuan Yuan closed the white gap in front of him, turned to look at Siji, and raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, we've received the unexpected surprise. Now let's proceed according to plan."

Although Siji had seen Yuan Yuan's actions clearly, she obviously didn't understand why she should pay attention to an ordinary life that hadn't even touched the edge of power, let alone transcended it. However, although she didn't understand, she clearly didn't intend to ask Yuan Yuan for clarification, because she simply didn't care.

"Okay, okay, proceed according to plan. What are you planning to do next, Yuan Jun?"

Watching Shiki bouncing around in front of him, Yuan Yuan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Although Shiki herself didn't realize it, after arriving in this world, this world consciousness seemed to have broken free of some kind of restraint, becoming much more unrestrained.

Because he had never encountered the consciousness of other worlds before, Yuan Yuan didn't know whether Siji's current behavior was normal, so he could only keep it in mind and observe it carefully in the future.

Although he secretly paid attention to the changing seasons, Yuan Yuan didn't let the other party notice. Calmly watching the vehicles and pedestrians passing below, Yuan Yuan spoke softly.

"It is often said that the scientific side, in its later stages of development, will also come into contact with the realm of magic and master all sorts of incredible abilities. However, no matter how much the magical side develops, it will never come into contact with the realm of science. Even the most powerful magicians can only helplessly admit their inability to operate sophisticated scientific instruments. In comparison, although the magical side has a clear advantage in the early stages, the disadvantages become greater as it develops, and in the end, it can only be completely crushed by the scientific side."

Siji tilted her head, looking at Yuan Yuan's profile, not understanding why he would suddenly say these things.

Yuan Yuan didn't expect Siji to understand. He was just expressing his feelings about this world of pure scientific development for the first time since he came into contact with magic.

Looking down at the street, Yuan Yuan seemed to see ancient creatures buried deep in the earth's crust, yearning to return to the land. He smiled mockingly.

"Unfortunately, all of this is nothing but the ravings of arrogant people who have abandoned the mysticism and forgotten the glory of their ancestors. In the face of a truly developed magical system, no matter how sophisticated the instruments are, they are just instruments. The scientific side produces them with complicated processes and encrypts them with complex programs, believing that no one but themselves can use their creations. In fact, a truly skilled mystic can completely steal their success with just a simple spell."

Chapter Seven: Easy to Get Along With

Just as Yuan Yuan said, in the face of the mysterious beings who have reached a certain level, the technological level of the Dark Bullet World is like a joke.

Without even lifting a finger, Yuan Yuan simply released his spiritual power and performed a somewhat crude, albeit not very precise, remote operation, which resolved all the issues concerning his and Siji's identities, housing, finances, and everything else that might have wasted time.

Yuan Yuan's current identity has become that of a cutting-edge independent researcher who is not affiliated with any organization. And it has proven to be very useful for Yuan Yuan to prepare this identity, because of which he easily obtained a batch of necessary test subjects from the Tokyo government, such as physically strong death row inmates, and ordinary animals that are very rare in this era of Gastrea rampage.

Five years ago, when the Gastrea virus outbreak occurred, most animals had already become Gastrea-like. During the massive Gastrea invasion, governments were already expending all their resources protecting humans, so naturally they didn't protect uninfected animals. As a result, those uninfected animals were torn to shreds in the Gastrea horde. The animals we can find now are those that survived that catastrophe with incredible luck.

After humans established settlements using the properties of holmium metal to repel Gastrea, it became even less likely that they would waste already scarce human habitats for animal husbandry. Even food was grown in dangerous areas on the outskirts of settlements where Gastrea could easily sneak in, let alone for animal husbandry.

In this day and age, most of the meat people eat is artificial meat. Even the Holy Emperor, the ruler of Tokyo, could not possibly eat natural meat every day.

Therefore, the fact that Yuan Yuan was able to obtain enough test subjects shows just how important his current status is.

Logically, given the immense convenience this identity provided Yuan Yuan with, he should have been extremely satisfied. However, sitting in the living room, Yuan Yuan looked at his front door with obvious annoyance.

While being a cutting-edge researcher did solve the problem of a shortage of ordinary laboratory animals caused by the inability of ordinary animals to survive in Hell, the ensuing issues were extremely troublesome.

As if to confirm Yuan Yuan's suspicions of trouble, three knocks, each exactly the same in volume and interval, rang out.

Siji, who was lying on the sofa, looked up at the time and showed an expression of no surprise. Ever since Yuan Yuan first asked the Tokyo government for test subjects, there had been a knock on the door of Yuan Yuan's residence every afternoon at three o'clock without fail.

What frustrated Yuan Yuan the most was that the person knocking on the door was either too clever or genuinely good-natured. Although Yuan Yuan hadn't spoken a word to the person outside the door for the past two months, let alone opened it, the person outside had consistently maintained the habit of standing silently outside the door for half an hour after knocking before leaving, without exception.

If the person knocking on the door makes threatening remarks or even breaks down the door after no one answers, Yuan Yuan can simply make them disappear and then completely ignore the requests of the human government.

However, Yuan Yuan didn't know how to refuse the other party's current behavior. After all, he knew how precious the animals he wanted were in this world, and that almost every one of them represented a certain amount of sacrifice.

Although Yuan Yuan wouldn't care how many people he killed if he did it himself, it has a different meaning when others die because of his demands.

"Although I knew long ago that the information provided by Yukari Yakumo was unreliable, I didn't expect it to be so different. Aren't the high-ranking officials of the human government supposed to be idiots? When did they become so smart?"

He pressed his temples helplessly, adjusted his expression to make himself look even more indifferent than usual, and then spoke.

"Come in."

Although Yuan Yuan's voice wasn't loud, the person outside the door clearly heard him and only pushed open the door to enter Yuan Yuan's room a few seconds later.

Just like her knocking on the door for two months without any change, the knocker's footsteps were also extremely regular, with the exact time interval between each step being exactly the same.

Surprisingly, this trait, which should be found in a serious-looking old man, appeared in a girl who looked no more than sixteen years old.

Of course, Yuan Yuan already knew who the person knocking on the door was when he first knocked, since an ordinary wooden door could not possibly block his view.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan Yuan, I am Ai Nanjo, the person in charge of the New Life Project of the 7th Affiliated Unit of the 3rd Army Headquarters in Tokyo. It's nice to meet you."

The girl walked steadily to Yuan Yuan, bowed slightly with a hint of restraint, and introduced herself in a somewhat stiff tone.

Yuan Yuan naturally wouldn't change his attitude because of the other party's identity; his expression remained cold.

"I am Yuan Yuan. Tell me, what is your purpose in not giving up for two consecutive months?"

The girl's already somewhat stiff smile suddenly became even stiffer, seemingly not expecting Yuan Yuan to be so direct. Fortunately, Nanjo Ai had done her homework before coming here, so she wasn't too embarrassed. After composing herself a little, she prepared to answer Yuan Yuan's question.

However, before the girl could speak, Yuan Yuan interrupted her.

"Compared to the previous question, I'm more interested in why you're so patient, given that you're clearly still quite inexperienced and lack experience dealing with people like us. I can tell you're not the calm and collected type; both the knocking and the footsteps are clearly things you're deliberately controlling."

The girl was startled, not expecting that the person opposite her had seen through her disguise on their first meeting. After hesitating for a moment, and seeing the impatience on Yuan Yuan's face, she no longer hesitated and quickly said...

"I did this because of my advisor's advice. My advisor said that regardless of Mr. Yuan Yuan's personality, at least as a researcher, even if one knows it was deliberately done, one would never dislike someone whose actions are predictable. And..."

As she spoke, the girl revealed a regretful expression, as if she had thought of something unpleasant.

"Three years ago, my mentor and I went to invite Professor Sumire Muroto. Although Professor Muroto did not turn my mentor away and allowed him into her laboratory each time, she would always offer him strange things taken from Gastrea amidst a pile of corpses. So I know that all capable professors have some unusual hobbies. It was only a matter of standing outside for two months. Mr. Yuan Yuan is relatively easy to approach."

Chapter Eight is interesting

Upon hearing Nanjo Ai say that Yuan Yuan was easy to get along with, Shiki, who was lying to the side, couldn't help but show an expression that seemed to say, "Is this child blind?" Although she liked Yuan Yuan very much and believed that she would always gain something by following Yuan Yuan, she absolutely did not think that Yuan Yuan was easy to get along with. Rather, if Yuan Yuan was easy to get along with, then there would be no one who was difficult to get along with.

Although she really wanted to tell that naive girl, "You think this old man is easy to get along with because he's not bored right now. Wait until he gets bored and wants some fun, then you'll know what disaster is," Shiki silently swallowed her words, considering the possible consequences of saying this in front of Yuan Yuan, and instead gave Nanjo Ai the look of someone watching a hero.

When Yuan Yuan heard Nanjo Ai say that he was easy to get along with, his expression became somewhat strange. To be honest, in his more than five hundred years of life, there were many people who called him a genius, a freak, or mentally unstable, but no one ever said he was easy to get along with. Even in the Harry Potter world, when he had just come into contact with magic and was in a great mood, no one had ever said that.

The poor girl, whose back ached from the gaze of the four seasons but dared not say anything, could only clutch her clothes tightly and stand pitifully in front of Yuan Yuan, looking at his slightly strange expression.

Having met many eccentric researchers under her mentor's guidance, the girl didn't even dare to sit down when Yuan Yuan didn't say it was okay. This shows how terrifying researchers were to her.

With a light chuckle, the coldness on his face dissipated. Yuan Yuan shook his head, seemingly finding it rather amusing, and pointed to the chair in front of him, saying,

"Easy to get along with, haha, you're the first person to say that about me in all these years. But since this is our first meeting, it's normal to make such a judgment based on your first impression and your own assumptions. Okay, don't look like I'm going to eat you up. Let's sit down and talk about it."

The girl, who didn't know Yuan Yuan well, seemed to relax a little and gently sat down in the chair opposite him.

However, Nanjo Ai didn't understand Yuan Yuan, but Shiki did. Seeing the smile on Yuan Yuan's face, she stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

How could this be? Yuan Yuan, the Yuan Yuan who always has a cold face, is actually showing this genuinely happy smile to someone he just met—not a sneer, not a fake smile. Are you kidding me? A simple compliment like "easy to get along with" makes you this happy? Does this girl think she can win you over with a few more compliments? Yuan Yuan, when did your conquest become so easy?

The stunned Miss World Consciousness, disregarding her own status, roared wildly in her heart. If she weren't afraid of being humanely destroyed by Yuan Yuan, she certainly wouldn't have just been roaring in her heart.

Of course, Yuan Yuan couldn't be won over by a few kind words as Siji thought. He acted this way simply because it was the first time he had heard someone say that he was easy to get along with, and he found it interesting.

While Shiki was internally screaming, Nanjo Ai had already composed herself, looked at Yuan Yuan with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice,

"Mr. Yuan Yuan, I would like to invite you to join the New Life Project, which I am in charge of. This project was proposed by me, and its main purpose is to create life through genetic technology, transplantation technology, and all possible means to ensure the continuation of humanity..."

However, just as Nanjo Ai was introducing her plan with a serious expression, Yuan Yuan interrupted her once again.

"I think you probably know this, but I became a researcher purely out of interest, and from the very first day I became a researcher, I have always been an independent researcher. So no matter what your plan is, there is no way I can join it."

Although Yuan Yuan identified himself as a researcher, there are no research results attributed to him in the records of humanity in this world. After all, it is impossible for him to spend a lot of effort to modify the memories of all mankind and related data.

In this situation, anyone with a modicum of common sense could sense that something was amiss with his identity. Therefore, Yuan Yuan established himself as [a top-tier researcher who entered the field of life sciences purely out of interest, and, with the financial support of his family, acted willfully without ever participating in any research projects. However, all his family members perished in the Gastrea crisis, so he had to sacrifice some of his findings in exchange for research funding and resources.]

The technologies Yuan Yuan presented were merely obsolete techniques from the Harry Potter world, or accidental creations by his researchers. However, due to the absurd gap between the mysterious and the scientific, these technologies, which Yuan Yuan completely disregarded, were hailed by researchers in this world as "genius ideas, unconventional research directions, and incredible research results." Even the four most outstanding researchers in this world, the "Four Sages," expressed their approval of Yuan Yuan.

This is why Nanjo Ai patiently invited Yuan Yuan for two consecutive months. After all, the Four Sages' research focus is currently on the nearly stalled [Mechanized Soldier Project], obsessed with mechanical modifications, while her proposed biological modification research lacks a heavyweight researcher to oversee it. If this continues, her project will soon fail to secure funding due to the lack of results, ultimately forcing it to abort.
