Chapter 754: Perfect Body (1)

“Crash!”

There was a loud sound of overturned furniture .

Feng Zhongheng and the others looked terrified . Frightened, they retreated backward .

The tendrils on Chen Da’s arm flailed around greedily as if they intended to grab onto something . They looked dangerous enough .

“This is the result of being modified by the metal,” he said with a fierce expression .

“I’m calling it Moonsilver,” Lu Sheng spoke with a mix of awe and regret . “This is a unique resource found in places where the Anomalies are . With my special techniques, I can modify and implant it into the human body, making it a part of the body . However…”

He paused .

“This thing will attack anything besides its host . There’s no way of controlling it,” Chen Da finished his sentence .

The tendrils on his arm swiftly retracted into a ball . Then, it shrunk and morphed back into the original silver arm .

“This is the deactivated mode . However, the minute I switch it on, it’ll instantly unleash all its might . ” The fierceness on Chen Da’s face started fading . “Also, this thing takes a lot out of me . I can only keep it on for 10 minutes . I think I’ll be in trouble if I keep it switched on for a longer period . ”

“10 minutes?” Feng Zhongzheng and the others relaxed slightly when they saw that the tendrils were put away . However, when they heard the unit for time measurement, they were slightly puzzled .

“It’s this . ” Lu Sheng fished out a round, metallic pocket watch . “This is a tool I’ve manufactured based on the length of a day . It divides one day into 24 hours, every hour into 60 minutes, and every minute into 60 seconds . This is a brand-new timer . ”

Feng Zhongzheng and the others looked at the slowly ticking second hand . They felt as if a huge door leading to new horizons was opening before them .

Although there were similar timekeeping tools in this world, none of them was as stable as this .

Lu Sheng put the pocket watch down and produced several more .

“I’ve prepared these for everyone, take one each . Only the core members will have them . I hope that this stays between us . Also, the modifications by Moonsilver has limited success rates . The first thing we need is sufficient Moonsilver from the Anomalies . Otherwise, even I can’t do anything,” said Lu Sheng in a low voice .

Feng Zhongzheng and the others looked at Chen Da . They were either pale or had heavy expressions . However, Feng Zhongzheng was different . Although he looked shocked, his eyes were completely filled with surprise .

“If you ask me, this is a turning point for the development of our future!” He suddenly took a step forward . There was a rare show of magnanimity in his tone .

The red light in Lu Sheng’s eyes died down . His lips curled with satisfaction .

With some help from his guidance, the effects were just what he wanted .

The Moonsilver was produced from where the Anomalies were . He did not modify it in any way . He merely devoured the components of Moonsilver which rejected the human body and were toxic to the human body with his own cells before implanting it into Chen Da .

If one insisted on looking for side effects, the only negative influence this would have was that the Moonsilver might acquire devouring properties due to Lu Sheng’s cells . Any material that it devoured would become a part of Lu Sheng .

This was also one of the methods Lu Sheng had used to devour the abyss .

The modifying procedure was definitely dangerous . However, he had informed Chen Da about the risks involved beforehand, and Chen Da agreed to it without hesitation .

However, they did not know that Lu Sheng had merely picked one of the materials obtained from where the Anomaly was at random and implanted it into Chen Da . As for the results, all he did was add some special formations and his cells to the Moonsilver .

The actual component that was giving this effect was his formation that was planted in the Moonsilver’s core .

The Moonsilver brought shocking impacts to Feng Zhongzheng and the others . Chen Da allowed some of the core members to touch his modified arm .

This matter caused quite a stir, but that was all .

Everything soon returned to normal .

Lu Sheng resumed his routine of drinking tea and looking at the information, while the other members continued gathering rumors . They lived their lives and had fun as usual .

However, an unprecedented sense of belonging silently spread throughout the members .

Although there was a limited success rate for the Moonsilver modification procedure, it nonetheless provided an entrance and opportunity for them to a whole new world . This shared secret strengthened their bonds even more .

Lu Sheng was also waiting .

The truth did not make him wait long .

Soon enough, an accident made the members of the research society realize the preciousness of power .

***

In the third block besides the Anomaly News Block and the Tea Block .

In a gloomy reception room, Lu Sheng met Zhuo Qinggui, who had been waiting outside the research society for two days .

Zhuo Qinggui’s hair was messy . Her face was covered in dirt and bruised in several places . This was her third day going without food . She merely quenched her thirst with the water from the drain .

Ever since the incident with her family, she hunted down the culprit without resting or sleeping . Alas… With her family’s fortunes reduced to ashes, not only was her effort fruitless, she could not even provide for her own needs .

“This is the Anomaly Research Society, not some place for you to beg . ” Lu Sheng glanced at Lu Jianhua who stood at the door and shook his head slightly .

“I know . I just want to beg you to modify me into an avenger that can defeat the Anomalies!” Zhuo Qinggui’s voice was ice-cold and sinister . Although she was slightly hoarse, her tone sent numbing tickles up the listeners’ spine .

Behind her, Lu Jianhua sighed .

“When I found her, she almost died . She was famished and parched . I can’t do anything even though the Zhuo Family is in such trouble . If I hadn’t discovered the problem when I went over to investigate, I’m afraid…”

“Is the incident in the Zhuo Family related to Anomalies?” Lu Sheng asked .

Lu Jianhua nodded .

Lu Sheng immediately understood . He mused for a while . Then, he looked up and spoke to Zhuo Qinggui . “You’ll have to think this through . If you’re willing to join us and keep the oath of the research society, I can modify you with Moonsilver, on conditions . Also, I don’t know where you got your sources from, but I hope that you won’t spread news about the Moonsilver modification to other people . ”

“I understand . ” Cold, grudging flames slowly burned in Zhuo Qinggui’s eyes . Even Lu Sheng found it rare to see such pure flames of vengeance .

He rarely met anyone whose determination for revenge could be this pure .

“One more thing, to prevent the power from being misused, our research society will impose certain restrictions on your Moonsilver modifications . These restrictions won’t impact your daily life in any way, but once you harm the innocent or the research society, we won’t hesitate to activate them . I hope you understand,” Lu Sheng added .

He told Chen Da the same thing before he was modified .

“I understand . ” Zhuo Qinggui nodded . As long as she could obtain power and the chance to exact revenge, she would not mind the price .

“Alright, that settles it, then . ” Lu Sheng understood the look in her eyes .

This was the best natural material Lu Sheng could have hoped for . If he pushed the research society’s progress with her, it would be flawless .

“Give her a shower,” Lu Sheng instructed .

Currently, the research society held many secrets . Lu Sheng spent a handsome amount to buy some young girls and teenagers with irrevocable title deeds .

These children, no older than 12, would one day become the research society’s own team .

Lu Jianhua brought Zhuo Qinggui out of the room .

Lu Sheng stood up as well . He turned and stood by the window . He looked down at the dark scenery of the city at night .

‘As I expected, the future core members of the research society will be comprised of some of these people seeking revenge…’

Zhuo Qinggui would be a blade in his hand which could smoothly propel the research society’s progress .

Two hours later, he began preparing for Zhuo Qinggui’s modification .

Because she had nothing left, Lu Sheng signed a subordinate pact with her, under the research society’s capacity . She would gain the research society’s support and modification in exchange for herself .

Zhuo Qinggui signed the pact obediently .

Feng Zhongzheng and the other core members were looking on at this ritual with complicated expressions . They knew very well that from this moment on, this young girl, Zhuo Qingguo, who had been similar to them was officially a member of the research society .

The modifying procedure went smoothly as well . One of Zhuo Qingguo’s eyes and feet were completely modified into Moonsilver parts .

The modification and implanting on parts of the head was a huge trial on the research society’s part .

Fortunately, under Lu Sheng’s adjustments behind the scenes, the procedure was a success . The success rate was also raised to 80% .

After the procedure, Zhuo Qingguo rested for half a month, and went out eagerly to track down the culprit .

Her family had about 30 members who were completely wiped out overnight . None of her family members survived . If she had not been reciting poems in her friend’s house when it happened, she would have suffered the same fate as her family .

Hence, after the procedure was completed, Zhuo Qinggui could hardly wait to begin walking her path of tracing down the culprit .

She returned every day for the martial arts training . Aside from eating and drinking, she spent the remainder of her time investigating the case and tracking down the culprit .

Although they were highly secretive about Zhuo Qinggui’s matters, they could hardly contain a fire with paper . Moreover, most of the research society’s members were ordinary young people from rich families . Hence, the people in the city soon learned about the shady modification procedures carried out within the research society .

Four days later, four individuals came kneeling before Lu Sheng, begging to be admitted into the research society .

At this moment, Chen Da, who went back to take care of the Anomaly, returned .

He was covered in wounds . However, he brought some Moonsilver metals back this time . At the same time, he brought with him several orphaned relatives of squire Song’s family .

These individuals joined the research society as well . Lu Sheng picked four out of them . Then, he used the Moonsilver which Chen Da brought back, and modified them so that they could embark on their journey for revenge .

Some of them succeeded, while some of them did not, and never came back .

Those who succeeded returned with more Moonsilver . Lu Sheng continued to modify the newcomers with the metal .

The modified people did not feel any restrictions . The Moonsilver’s formidable powers gave them strength and speed which far exceeded ordinary human beings . Their wounds healed quickly as well .

When their lives were threatened, the Moonsilver could block the attacks and counterattacked automatically .
