All my teammates online are my girlfriends

If I didn't know these guys were from a research institute, I would have thought this place had been converted into some kind of human research lab!

"Are you really from a research institute? You seem a bit shady."

Is there something wrong?

Tang Feilin asked casually, and then tidied up the somewhat messy pile of documents next to her.

"They didn't turn on the lights or open the curtains, it was so dark, and all they had were some strange instruments..."

"You watch too many horror movies, go lie down over there."

Tang Feilin rolled her eyes at Lin Qiu, who was lost in thought, and pointed to the experimental chamber next to her, giving instructions.

These things were originally intended for Bai Ya's examination, but Lin Qiu ended up using them first, hoping to find out useful information this time.

"hiss--"

"what happened?"

Hearing Lin Qiu's sudden gasp, Tang Feilin immediately turned around.

"It's a little hot!"

Lin Qiu grimaced and yelled, feeling that the temperature inside the experimental chamber was extremely high, as if it had just been soaked in lava.

"hot?"

Tang Feilin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and quickly stepped forward to touch it.

Feeling the intense heat emanating from her fingertips, her brows furrowed involuntarily.

"Could it be that the unfinished product escaped?"

What's wrong with those guys at the research institute who are in charge of guarding the test subjects? How come test subjects keep escaping?

I think it's better to find someone else when we get back!

"What semi-finished product?"

Hearing Tang Feilin's mutterings, Lin Qiu asked curiously.

"Don't worry about anything else, just focus on yourself."

Tang Feilin gave a vague and perfunctory reply, then pressed Lin Qiu back down and slammed the door of the experimental chamber shut.

A muffled sound of machinery starting up echoed in his ears, and a large amount of light flashed from various instruments, displaying complex information that left Lin Qiu, inside the cabin, stunned.

"So, can you tell what's wrong with my heart?"

"It won't be that fast; this is just a preliminary scan."

"Oh, is that so?"

Lin Qiu chuckled awkwardly, then looked at the other large screen, the only one he could barely make out the information on.

Information was displayed in all other areas, but the area around his heart appeared completely black, as if a large, empty space had been emptied out.

As he waited silently, his heart seemed to sense something; the scorching heat inside the experimental chamber was completely absorbed into his body and gathered towards his heart.

"Ok?"

Tang Feilin, who was watching the instruments, also noticed Lin Qiu's rapidly rising temperature. Just as she was about to release him, his body temperature dropped again.

Could this guy have had something special about his body before he ate the mutated fruit?

But that doesn't make sense. If there were anything unusual, the hospital would have information about it and it would have been sent to the special archives department of the research institute.

"Lin Qiu, let me ask you, before you ate the fruit, did you feel that you were anything special?"

Does "being exceptionally lucky count?"

"What are you showing off?"

"Uh—no, no, I was just telling the truth."

220 - Qin Family Emergency

"Um—Director Tang, is the examination finished?"

"Not yet, what's wrong? Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

"No, I feel a little hungry."

"Didn't you just have lunch and eat so much fruit?"

Tang Feilin's expression became subtle as she watched Lin Qiu rubbing his stomach.

How does this guy manage to eat so much and not gain weight at all?

"I was quite full before, but after the heart transplant, I digest very quickly."

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, his gaze sweeping around the room before finally settling on the few pieces of fruit still on the table.

Noticing Lin Qiu's gaze, Tang Feilin hesitated for a moment before taking a capsule out of her pocket—

"Eat this along with the fruit later."

"what is this?"

"Check the nanorobots in your stomach to see if there's anything wrong there; your digestion speed is a bit abnormal."

As Tang Feilin spoke, she opened the experimental chamber door and handed over the capsule and an apple.

"Are you sure you're a research institute and not just a science research organization...?"

Looking at the little robot gadget again, Lin Qiu's expression became somewhat subtle.

Although they are currently all nanorobots, who knows what strange high-tech gadgets they might pull out in the future!

And how many things has this woman pulled out of her pocket? Is it a four-dimensional pocket?!

"Actually, it's about the same. Although our research institute specializes in biological research, we also have some scientific research departments."

Tang Feilin casually explained, and only after seeing Lin Qiu obediently swallow the capsule did her attention return to the instrument.

On the screen, Lin Qiu's stomach condition was also clearly displayed.

As far as the eye could see, a faint, strange aura wafted through the stomach, rapidly breaking down the residue within.

After the residue was broken down, it transformed into a new, strange aura that flowed into the stomach and slowly spread throughout it.

"Is it the material from over there...? But it's different from what Baiya and the others have; there's no sign of it being lost."

Looking at this bizarre scene, Tang Feilin murmured as she gazed at the remaining fruit.

Some of them were mutated before, while the other part came from Lin Qiu's yard. They were clearly the same kind of fruit, but their shapes were very different.

"Um—why do I feel like these fruits aren't quite satisfying enough?"

Lin Qiu munched away for a while, then couldn't help but frown and mutter something.

It doesn't feel like eating fruit at all anymore. After eating it, it feels like it all turns into a cloud of gas, with no real sensation.

"The fruit you just ate was collected from other areas of the community. It wasn't as highly toxic as the fruit from your own farm. Try eating some fruit from your own farm again."

"According to the settings, it seems that the number of attempts has been reached, and no more experience can be gained."

Lin Qiu muttered to himself, but still picked up an apple twisted into a spiral shape. He knew this thing that had popped up in his yard quite well.

The Twisted Fruit in "Kara no Kyoukai" doesn't grant experience, but it can still enhance power and damage for a certain period of time.

But as he took a bite, under Tang Feilin's gaze, an unusual crimson color appeared on his skin.

The veins on his arms and neck bulged, and Lin Qiu felt a surge of energy within him expand to its limit in an instant, causing a tearing pain throughout his body.

"Hiss—Help! Something's not right with this fruit; its effects are several times stronger than what's in the game!"

Lin Qiu bared his teeth and yelled, his face full of terror.

This situation contradicts the game's description!

At first, the effect was fine, but after a few seconds, a strange feeling came from the heart.

Immediately, the fruit's effects went out of control and caused a rampage...

Meanwhile, Tang Feilin glanced at the data on the screen and revealed a thoughtful expression.

The effect was amplified; is it because of the area around this guy's heart?

"Hold on, and once you get through this, your physical strength will be greatly enhanced."

Tang Feilin's reminder silenced Lin Qiu, who rolled her eyes and endured the excruciating pain in her body.

Although it hurts a bit now, as long as I can get through it, maybe I'll be able to beat the class monitor!

"Ah chirp!"

Qin Yunmo, who was suffering in his own home, suddenly sneezed and looked out the window with some confusion.

Was it Chen Xiao talking badly about me behind my back again?

"Big sister! Don't get distracted right now, we're having a serious family meeting!"

Seeing Qin Yunmo lost in thought, Qin Dan, who was sitting directly opposite her, frowned and immediately called out to pull her back to her senses.

Your brother-in-law is almost snatched away by someone else, and you still don't have any sense of crisis? Can't you be a little more responsible?

However, Qin Yunmo just rolled his eyes at this little troublemaker. Right now, it's just him, her, and Qin Xuan at home. What kind of family meeting is this?

"If there's nothing important, I'll head out now. I've made plans to visit a friend at her house."

"Lin Qiu's house?"

"Your sister Ziyan's family."

"Tsk——"

Upon hearing this, Qin Dan immediately deflated, her joy unfulfilled.

I thought my older sister would finally show some backbone, but at this crucial moment, you're actually thinking of going shopping with someone else?!

"Something happened to Brother Lin Qiu."

Just then, Qin Xuan's voice suddenly came from the side.

"What happened?!"

Qin Yunmo's voice suddenly rose several octaves, his gaze fixed intently on Qin Xuan, who was looking at his phone.

"A tree was dug up in his yard, and it ended up piercing Lin Qiu's heart..."

"Oh!"

The moment Qin Xuan finished speaking, Qin Yunmo's figure almost instantly disappeared from the spot.

"Ah Xuan, you look at the next player, I'm going to check on Brother Lin Qiu!"

"Don't be nervous, Brother Lin Qiu is fine, he's still lively and energetic."

Seeing Qin Dan hurriedly getting ready to leave, Qin Xuan quickly reassured her, leaving her stunned in place.

"Thump-"

Qin Yunmo, who had already rushed to the door, was caught off guard and bumped into it, turning around with a puzzled look on his face.

"fine?"

"Yes, although his heart was pierced, the tree replaced his heart, so he's fine now, and his physical condition has improved a lot."

Qin Xuan explained calmly, but his little fingers were clenched so tightly they turned white, clearly indicating that he wasn't actually that relaxed inside.

However, upon hearing that Lin Qiu seemed to be alright, Qin Yunmo gritted his teeth and left the house.

No matter what, we still have to go and see!

"what is going on?"

Qin Dan obediently sat back down and couldn't help but ask Qin Xuan a question.

You think someone can survive a heart transplant? Are you making a fantasy movie?!

"Director Tang, is it done yet? Being scanned like this for so long makes me feel like I'm not wearing any clothes."
