The relationship between a pet and a lover is vastly different. Jiang Wei was able to abandon the relationship between owner and pet and choose to date fairly. Any normal girl would be attracted to him.

Fireflies are no exception.

"What's the answer?"

Jiang Wei repeated what he had just said.

"...I'll think about it."

With a blush on her face, Liu Ying left the changing room first.

In this way, the original "imprisoned star core hunter, Firefly" became "a shy and embarrassed girl being pursued".

In addition, there was a slight feeling of affection that Liu Ying had for him.

All it takes is careful nurturing.

betray?

She's become a little kitten in love, her mind filled with nothing but affection.

Jiang Wei opened the system interface.

The current emotional resonance level of the test subject is 52%, with a 104% probability of gaining an additional Origin Technology, "Seizing the Heavenly Craftsmanship".

From this day forward, every action he takes towards Liuying will be automatically interpreted by Liuying as him being unable to resist because he likes her too much, rather than as a sign of humiliation towards a prisoner.

With clever tactics and sweet talk, Liu Ying's resistance was resolved, and she even gained some goodwill for free.

"Girls have sweet and soft hearts."

"The firefly unilaterally enjoys the sweet romance, obediently offering itself to your mouth."

“I manipulate her mind and body, and I can also enjoy the complex relationship between the owner and the pet.”

[Unlock Achievement: Scumbag]

[Description: To engage in a perfect act of toying with the opposite sex. How despicable! You've ruined my sweet first love! You have no heart; you deserve to be torn to pieces.]

[Reward: Damage taken -15%, Charm +5, "Firefly" has a crush on you]

Jiang Wei silently accepted the reward.

Looking at the description, his words of rebuttal stuck in his throat, and then he poured them out.

"Yes! You're right. Who told you to give it such good attributes? Whatever you say goes."

The author of the achievement mod is a bit sarcastic, but the rewards are really generous.

Considering that the merits and demerits canceled each other out, Jiang Wei decided to ignore it.

……

The firefly entered the cultivation chamber and fell asleep as the dormant liquid was injected.

Daheita was studying the machine when he heard Jiang Wei's footsteps and turned around.

"If the gene research can be completed today, we can also treat the fireflies' 'entropy disorder' at the same time."

"However, she absorbed a lot of mental energy, which awakened her reproductive instincts. Her desires may be stronger than before, but she won't turn into an endless swarm of insects. At most, she'll just be... a little glutton?"

"So what are your thoughts?"

The voice changed.

Daheita couldn't contain his jealousy.

"She possesses the power of 'reproduction,' and may be the sole survivor of Grammer. Do you know the reason for the birth of the 'Reproduction' Star God? The Firefly is so similar to her—a strong will to survive, alone, and lonely."

What would happen if a firefly fell in love with you? Would she make you pay your dues once a day? Or three or five times?

"Can you even satisfy her? And yet you still flirt with her?"

"This is a girl's first relationship. Her heart is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. You've left an impression on her with just a few sweet words. What are your plans for the future? Are you going to take responsibility?"

Jiang Wei gazed at a single, naked firefly in the cultivation chamber.

"The fine tradition of procreation dictates that whoever survives to the end is king. Firefly could be Queen Grammer."

"She is my pet, willing to give me her heart and have a one-sided, sweet romance."

"What's this called? This is called accepting a vassal state. From now on, 'Grammer' is a vassal state of my empire."

"As a staunch ally of the Firefly, it is my duty to breed more Fireflies with her and help Grammer regain its kingdom."

"I enjoy her delicate beauty, and she enjoys the one-sided sweetness of love. It's a win-win situation."

The big black tower turned her head away from him and said something in a sweet voice.

"You jerk! Stay with me tonight!"

Chapter 18 Gene Editing

Gene editing is a delicate project that requires careful attention.

Jiang Wei could intuitively see the success rate through the system's functions.

[Event: Reverse Engineering of "Firefly" Gene Technology]

[Description: The research department is working overtime to study the gene sequence of fireflies and obtain genetic information through bodily fluids. We have discovered that this is partially similar to the records in the Imperial Ancient Database, and we plan to restore this part of the inherited knowledge.]

Although the restoration work is not yet complete, it is already known that the inherited project is called "The Forcible Craftsmanship," and is one of the Empire's most brilliant origin-level technologies.

【choose……】

[Increased research stipend: Star Jade -500, Advanced Depravity Crystal -1; Success rate of "Firefly's" non-destructive gene editing project increased to 100%; Obtained Technological Gene Editing, Grammer Genome, and Stealing the Heavenly Craft]

[As an aside, some optimizations were made to the experimental subject: scientists implanted several targeted dependency genes into "Firefly," requiring her to be replenished regularly by the ruler, thus making her compliant; if she did not receive timely replenishment, she would fall into a state of mild mental breakdown.]

Technology truly benefits humanity.

Jiang Wei examined the two options and thought the Colorful Tech Tree mod was quite good; having more skills is never a bad thing.

There is currently no shortage of resources:

2508 Star Jade, 45 Credits, 4 Fallen Desire Crystals, 2 High-Grade Fallen Desire Crystals

First, acquire rare technologies and origin technologies.

With ample funding, the research department has increased the success rate of "Firefly's" non-destructive gene editing project to 100%, which will undoubtedly lead to reverse engineering of technologies such as gene editing and the Grammer genome; unlocking one of the Empire's origin technologies, "Theft of the Gods."

Waiting for time to pass.

About half an hour later, an event popped up.

[Event: Interesting Stories and Anecdotes about "Star Cores"]

[Description: The star core that once belonged to the Black Tower Space Station was placed into the body of the carrier "Star" under the operation of the star core hunter. An interesting thing happened: the violent star core was perfectly sealed and the consciousness of Star was awakened.]

The ownership of the Star Core belongs to the Empire. We have acquired ownership of the experimental subject, "Star." The scientists wanted to ask the Star Core Hunters some questions, but they left three minutes ago.

【choose……】

[An experimental subject with a star core inside her? What can she do: The temporary scientist "The Great Black Tower" will contact the star after completing the genetic research; the entire Empire? Fate Experience +100, "Star" has joined the Empire]

[The birth of the experimental subject was too abnormal; she and the star core were destroyed: the entire empire? ? Fate Experience +100, "Star" was destroyed]

Jiang Wei found Xing's avatar on the population page.

She is currently with the people from the Star Train, and Estádio is in charge of receiving them.

[A star can be dispatched to carry out a mission, such as: armed raid, target plunder, espionage, assassination, or patrol.]

Jiang Wei chose to have Xing carry out a spy mission, with the target being the "Star Train".

Stealing intelligence takes time.

The current "intelligence level" for the Star Train is Level 1, and it can be upgraded by 10 intelligence points.

Level 2 intelligence personnel can perform tasks to hack into sensors and obtain the precise coordinates of the Star Train in real time.

Each intelligence level upgrade unlocks new features. At the highest level of 10, it can even instigate an internal rebellion, assassinate the supreme leader, and secretly change the masters of a civilization.

Jiang Wei turned his gaze to the image of the firefly.

Her profile picture has a zzz icon in the upper right corner, but it's not pure white; it's purple.

The purple zzz icon indicates a coma caused by an abnormal condition, rather than normal sleep.

Fireflies are better suited for encounter combat missions, and although they can do espionage, they cannot utilize their strengths.

Jiang Wei noticed that both Xing and Liuying were level 1 spies, while the Starry Sky Train's infiltration difficulty was level 1.

Only with the same level of difficulty can Xing's espionage work proceed normally.

“The Star Train is different from other forces, perhaps because it welcomes unidentified guests, making it easier to infiltrate.”

Jiang Wei assesses the difficulty of infiltrating the Black Tower space station.

I was stunned when I saw it; the infiltration difficulty had reached level 9, just one level away from the highest difficulty.

The reason is that the "Great Black Tower" is an intelligence envoy, making it difficult for spies to steal information.

……

Six hours flew by.

"Genetic research is finished, come recruit people."

As prompted by the Great Black Tower, the incubation chamber opened its door.

Jiang Wei made preparations in advance.

A chilling aura emanated from within.

The dormant liquid evaporated into mist, and the weakened fireflies appeared and disappeared in the mist.

Just like a patient who has just woken up and is in poor condition, a firefly that has just ended its hibernation is very weak and softly falls to the ground.

Jiang Wei held her in his arms; her skin was delicate and soft to the touch.

"Go to sleep for a while, the entropy loss syndrome has been cured."

"... "

The firefly was so tired that it didn't even have the strength to say a word.

After taking a few breaths, she couldn't resist the drowsiness and closed her eyes in Jiang Wei's arms.

Jiang Wei carried her to the sofa.

Water droplets dripped down Liu Ying's hair, her skin glowing with a faint cherry blossom pink.

The fair neck felt delicate to the touch, and a faint fragrance wafted from the hair.

……

The fireflies are asleep.

The soft breathing sounds were quite adorable.

……

I heard some sounds behind me.

Jiang Wei turned his head and saw that Da Heita's face had turned rosy.

"what happened?"

"fine."

The big black tower turned its face away, stubbornly refusing to tell the truth.

Her hair was slightly curled at the ends, her skin was slightly sweaty, and her porcelain-white skin had a faint pinkish tinge.

An atmosphere of irresistible longing enveloped her.

Jiang Wei was very familiar with this.

I've seen it many times.
