Infinite Chimera Creation

Sumire Muroto's voice was slightly serious, but she couldn't shake off her languid charm. Clearly, now that she didn't have to worry about being suddenly held accountable by Yuan Yuan, this naturally lazy older woman couldn't possibly be serious when talking to Yuan Yuan.

"Not needed?"

Yuan Yuan frowned slightly, softly repeated Muroto Sumire's words, and then showed a look of realization.

"I understand what's going on."

"Huh? You understand now?"

Sumire Muroto couldn't help but let out a surprised sound. Although she hated Yuan Yuan's evaluation, she thought, "I haven't even said anything yet, and you already understand? What do you understand?"

"Considering the plan to create cursed children of monsters mentioned in the document you gave me, the reason you use developmental catalysis technology is to accelerate the growth and development of those newly born cursed children of monsters so that they can join the battle against monsters as soon as possible."

Gently swirling the teacup in his hand, Yuan Yuan gazed into the distance, as if he could see Sumire Muroto and the others conducting experiment after experiment in their laboratory, sitting right there.

"But what you didn't expect was that the developmental catalysis technology, which works perfectly on both humans and animals, caused a terrifying accident when used on the cursed children of monsters—those tiny babies instantly turned into juvenile monsters after being injected with the development-promoting drug, right?"

Yuan Yuan's voice was calm and without any fluctuation, but Muroto Sumire's face had already turned ugly, because what Yuan Yuan said was almost exactly the truth.

When Sumire and her group created the first batch of Cursed Children of Monsters, they didn't intend to accelerate their growth; they planned to let them grow normally. However, to their surprise, the Cursed Children of Monsters grew at an unusually slow rate, more than ten times slower than normal humans.

After detailed analysis, they determined that because the virus inside the monsters was too domineering, the children of the monster curse were affected by the virus far more than ordinary children of the monster curse, so their growth rate began to approach that of monsters.

Upon learning this news, the higher-ups naturally didn't want to let those cursed demon children continue to grow naturally. What they needed were weapons, weapons that could be deployed quickly. If they allowed those cursed demon children to grow slowly, who knew if some demons would break into their settlements before they matured? If the higher-ups suffered losses in that case, who would be responsible?

Therefore, the higher-ups ordered the growth of the Demon Children to be accelerated, an order that Sumire Muroto did not resist. Her initial involvement in the creation of the Demon Children was precisely to study them closely and the various abilities they inherited from the demons.

The later the demon child matured, the later Muroto Sumire's research could begin, which she naturally didn't want. Therefore, on the very day the higher-ups gave the order, Muroto Sumire injected a demon child with a growth-catalyzing drug.

However, the experiment, which should have been risk-free, went terribly wrong. The Demon Child turned into a demon and wreaked havoc in the laboratory. If Sumire Muroto hadn't already known what kind of demon's blood the Demon Child was using, hadn't considered how to deal with such a demon, and hadn't had excellent security measures in the laboratory, she probably would have been trapped there forever.

P.S., I recommend a book called "Naruto Rebirth: The Difficult Life of Obito's Sister". The synopsis is as follows: "Brother, because of Izanami, in this cycle of fate, you can only become the brother who loves me the most, and not that stinky man who calls himself Uchiha Madara!"

Chapter 41 The Female Lead?

“Developmental catalysis has many side effects for the catalyzed individuals, the most obvious of which is a significant reduction in lifespan. Some imperfect technologies can even reduce the lifespan of the catalyzed individuals to less than three years. However, all you need to do is manufacture weapons, so there is no need to consider the lifespan issue. If it breaks, you can just make another one. Therefore, you did not give it much thought and directly used developmental catalysis technology on those infants.”

Still toying with the teacup in his hand, Yuan Yuan slowly recounted the foolish deeds of Muroto Sumire and the others, his gaze distant.

"But you've forgotten an important point: the reason why the lifespan of those catalyzed is shortened is because their genes have been severely damaged and become extremely unstable due to the abnormal growth rate."

Sumire Muroto stopped what she was doing, letting the purple liquid in the beaker bubbling and churning. A bitter smile appeared on her face as she continued Yuan Yuan's words.

"The genes of the Cursed Children are already unstable due to the effects of the virus. Once the erosion rate reaches fifty percent, they will transform into Gastrea. The virus within the monsters is even more domineering. When the Monster Children who inherit these viruses are born, although the erosion rate may seem low, they are actually already in an extremely dangerous state. So when the catalytic drug takes effect and makes the genes of the Monster Children unstable, the erosion rate explodes completely, and the Monster Children... become true monsters."

"Unfortunately, you were blinded by your desire to study monsters and only thought of these things after the fact."

When he said this, Yuan Yuan's expression was not sarcastic, but rather a faint sigh, as if he was recalling a painful failure he had caused in his previous experiments due to being too impatient.

"It's a pity, yes, it really is a pity."

After muttering a few words to herself, Sumire Muroto's slightly misty eyes brightened again, and her voice returned to its usual confident and languid tone.

"But it's okay. Now that we've found the reason for the failure, we just need to figure out how to solve it."

The感慨 in Yuan Yuan's eyes had faded, replaced by a faint sarcasm.

"So what you call finding a solution is coming to me for help?"

“That’s right, this is the solution I came up with. Now I need to produce a monster child that can be used in battle as soon as possible, but a catalytic technology that can maintain genetic stability is extremely difficult and cannot be developed in a short time.”

Seemingly unconcerned by the sarcasm in Yuan Yuan's tone, Muroto Sumire once again puckered one eyeball, chewed a few times, and said in a muffled voice,

“My research interests encompass both biology and mechanics. Although to the average person I may seem to have reached the pinnacle in both areas, I know that compared to Mr. Yuan, who focuses on biological research, my achievements in biology are merely mediocre. So when I realized I needed a high-end biological technology job, Mr. Yuan was the first person I thought of.”

Yuan Yuan sneered, curling his lip in disdain. Muroto Sumire's words, seemingly humble, actually implied, "If I were to focus solely on biology, I certainly wouldn't lose to you."

Too lazy to rebuke the other party's excessive stupidity and arrogance, Yuan Yuan asked coldly,

"I do have the technology you're talking about, but what are you going to offer in exchange? You said it yourself, it's high-end technology, so don't try to fool me with junk."

In fact, Yuan Yuan didn't care at all what the other party offered in exchange, because he didn't believe that Muroto Sumire had anything that would excite him.

However, when Sumire Muroto slowly stated the terms of the exchange, Yuan Yuan was still slightly surprised.

[How about we give the cursed child, Aihara Enju, who was originally intended to be Rentaro's partner, to Yuan-kun?]

These were Sumire Muroto's original words, and also the reason for Yuan Yuan's surprise.

He wasn't surprised that the "female lead" had been inexplicably given to him; after all, Yuan Yuan himself had done plenty of things that changed the protagonist's fate. In the Harry Potter world, because of Yuan Yuan's actions, Voldemort became the Guardian of the World, so the protagonist Harry Potter naturally couldn't become the savior; in the Bleach world, also because of Yuan Yuan, Kurosaki Ichigo was first killed by his childhood friend, and after becoming a Hollow and finally returning, he was killed again by Maurice, one of Yuan Yuan's subordinates.

Each time he entered a new world, he would abandon the protagonist and do his own thing, completely unlike ordinary transmigrators who, whether helping or opposing the protagonist, always revolve around them. Yuan Yuan, naturally, didn't care about the fate of a female lead. What surprised him was...

"Are you out of your mind? What makes you think that an ordinary child of the curse can be exchanged for the cutting-edge technology you desperately need right now?"

"This cursed child is no ordinary one. I secretly nurtured him, and his talent is among the best of all the cursed children."

Muroto Sumire seemed to have anticipated Yuan Yuan's reaction, or perhaps she had never considered exchanging a cursed child for the technology in Yuan Yuan's possession; she was just joking when she said that.

Aihara Enju is a cursed child secretly raised by Muroto Sumire, possessing exceptional talent even among cursed children worldwide. When registering high-talented cursed children with the government, Muroto Sumire used her power to conceal Aihara Enju's information, intending to use it to strengthen Satomi Rentaro. However, now that Rentaro is no longer under Muroto Sumire's control, she naturally begins to consider how to deal with the child.

[Since that child is useless anyway, giving him to Yuan Yuan as a bonus is a good way to do him a favor.]

Muttering to herself, Muroto Sumire stopped joking and began bargaining with Yuan Yuan over the list on the table. Finally, before Yuan Yuan could get impatient, they settled on the items to exchange for the [Side Effects-Free Development Catalysis Technology]. And the little girl named Aihara Enju was indeed given to Yuan Yuan as a bonus.

After hanging up the communicator, Yuan Yuan drank some tea alone for a while, then got up on time and went into the laboratory, intending to start the experiment promptly. However, after he had prepared all the equipment, an unexpected factor named [Lolo] disrupted his plans.

"Shouldn't you be eating potato chips and watching anime at this time? Why are you here looking for me?"

With a slight frown, Yuan Yuan looked at Luo Luo, who was clinging to him and covered in potato chip crumbs, with a rather surprised expression.

Just like Yuan Yuan said, Luo Luo should be watching anime at this time every day. Luo Luo has maintained this habit for hundreds of years. Unless there are special circumstances, such as collecting sex toys, collecting hentai, or wanting to have sex, it should not change.

P.S., I have a question for you readers: will you still be reading novels during the National Day holiday? If you will, I'll try to update more chapters then. If you're all out having fun and not reading, I'll just keep updating at the regular rate, and I can have some fun too.

Addendum: I saw someone mention the next world, so please go to the thread I created in the book review section and tell me what you'd like to see in the next world. I'll select a few for you to vote on.

Chapter Forty-Two Changes

Clinging to Yuan Yuan's back, Luo Luo buried her head in his neck, took a deep breath, and squinted her eyes in enjoyment, whispering softly in a slightly muffled voice...

"Because I was really curious, so curious that I couldn't resist, so I came to find Xiaoyuan."

Yuan Yuan was already used to Luo Luo's somewhat infatuated behavior and didn't mind. He casually picked up a strand of Luo Luo's long hair that was hanging down in front of his chest and played with it, saying with a slight smile,

"Curious? Curious about what? Tell me."

"Haven't you noticed, Xiaoyuan? You've changed a lot lately. Back in the last world, your personality started to change. You became less cold, and your facial expressions became more varied."

Clinging to Yuan Yuan's back, Luo Luo wore a silly grin, counting on her fingers as if she were counting the number of times Yuan Yuan could transform.

"Oh right, after our first time having sex, Xiaoyuan even smiled. It was such a warm smile, I'd never seen it before. I was completely stunned."

Yuan Yuan paused slightly, then nodded as if nothing had happened, continuing to twirl Luo Luo's long hair in his hands, and casually asked,

"anything else?"

"And another thing, those little snakes that Xiaoyuan created were supposed to die in Xiaoyuan's original plan, since that would maximize the potential of the Magic Furnace. But in the end, they didn't die. Xiaoyuan couldn't bear to, could he? The Xiaoyuan of the past had never felt this kind of emotion, no matter who it was towards."

The smile at the corners of his mouth seemed to deepen a bit, and Yuan Yuan nodded again.

Is there anything else?

"Of course there is more. The old Xiaoyuan was an absolute efficiency person. Even when seeking pleasure, he would never affect the efficiency of the experiment. But since he met his counterpart in this world, Xiaoyuan doesn't seem to care about efficiency as much."

Luo Luo rested her head on Yuan Yuan's shoulder, looking at his profile with a face full of confusion.

"Xiao Yuan has changed so much recently. What could have made him, who once declared he would never change, make these changes? I'm so curious!"

Yuan Yuan vigorously ruffled Luo Luo's hair, and once again revealed the smile that Luo Luo called "warmth."

"You idiot, you've really observed me closely. But no matter how closely you observe me, it doesn't change the fact that you're an idiot."

"Huh? Huh!?"

Lolo's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise, tapping Yuan Yuan's head in annoyance.

"We were clearly talking about Xiaoyuan's changes, so how did the conclusion turn into him being an idiot?"

With a slight raise of his eyebrows, a slight droop of his eyes, and a wide grin, Yuan Yuan's warm smile instantly transformed into a menacing and dangerous one.

"I'm just a little bit gentle with you, you idiot, and you get all arrogant. You even dared to hit me on the head."

With a sinister grin, Yuan Yuan grabbed Luo Luo's head and pulled her close to him, pinching her cheek hard with his other hand.

"I called you an idiot, and you actually dared to argue back. Isn't all of my changes because of you?"

Originally, Luo Luo was blushing from the familiar pain on her face and slowly rubbing her legs. But after hearing Yuan Yuan's next words, she immediately stopped moving her lower body. Her face turned even redder, and even her ears turned red, with two tiny flames comically emerging from them.

"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Yuan, what are you saying all of a sudden? Changing because of me? Such romantic words, you've never said them before, but now you're suddenly saying them, this is a complete surprise attack, this is foul, foul! Foul!!"

Having anticipated Luo Luo's reaction, Yuan Yuan stored Luo Luo's rare shy expression deep in his memory while chuckling with a mischievous grin.

"Lolo, you have some rather unusual tastes, but you're surprisingly innocent in a place like this. I really like that."

"Foul! Foul! Foul! Foul! Obuchi fouled!!"

This time, not only did Lolo's ears breathe fire, but even her hair turned into flames uncontrollably, rising and falling with her frantically swinging arms.

Seeing that Luo Luo had reached her limit, and that further teasing might cause her to revert to her original form, Yuan Yuan stopped talking and silently enjoyed Luo Luo's wavering expression.

After a long while, Luo Luo finally calmed down, but the blush on her face wouldn't fade. Squatting on the ground, Luo Luo unusually displayed a shy demeanor, showing none of her usual infatuated self. She timidly tugged at Yuan Yuan's clothes, her expression one of unbearable embarrassment.

"Xiao Yuan, did you really change because of me?"

Have I ever lied to you?

With a faint smile, Yuan Yuan gently pinched Luo Luo's cheek.

"Although it wasn't as melodramatic as the stories that say, 'The protagonist suddenly finds a sense of belonging after having sex once and his personality changes drastically from then on,' after experiencing it for the first time, I did have a novel feeling that I had never had before and couldn't describe. If I had to describe it... I would say that I awakened a new interest."

Blinking in confusion, Lolo looked puzzled. "[Awakening a new interest]" Although there was nothing wrong with the sentence, the thought that this interest had awakened after sex made her feel particularly uneasy.

Seeing through Luo Luo's thoughts at a glance, Yuan Yuan casually tapped her head and continued saying his perverted things with a straight face.

“That sexual encounter was indeed the turning point for me. As you said, I underwent many subtle changes after that. And meeting another version of myself was another turning point that further accelerated my changes.”

Upon hearing that another factor had caused Yuan Yuan's change, Luo Luo not only didn't feel like she had been deceived, but instead breathed a sigh of relief and stopped being nervous.

"Although I've always had you by my side, Lolo, perhaps due to the influence of [arrogance], I still have a strange sense of loneliness. But after seeing another version of myself, I felt like I was seeing my own kind, which made that strange sense of loneliness in my heart disappear completely, and also led to further changes in me."

Having said that, Yuan Yuan stopped speaking, shut his mouth, and quietly looked at Luo Luo. Luo Luo also remained silent, staring at Yuan Yuan quietly. After a long while, she finally spoke, urging him...

"There's more, there's more, Xiaoyuan hasn't finished yet, has he?"
