?Reading on smartphone Qin Family Tower, underground laboratory. Chapter Eight: Electron Book Hou Bao said with lingering apprehension, "This thing is absolutely terrifying. Xiao Feng, this confirms your hypothesis—the creature's claws carry a gene similar to a potent toxin that rapidly spreads upon contact with human cells, ultimately proving fatal!" "That truly is frightening," said He, the leader, his face filled with tension. "It means that anyone the killer comes into contact with might die." Hou nodded in agreement, "Theoretically, yes. Not only the claws, but also his blood, saliva, and even his excreta—any contact with these could prove deadly." Qin Feng frowned, saying, "What I can't quite understand is why he specifically targeted the students at Pingda University. After all, he should have come from Europe. Given the vast distances and the long journey, there have been no other reported victims until now. Why does he begin killing only once he reaches Pingda University?" "He leader stared at him coldly and said, 'Some people are truly wise in one lifetime but bewildered at another. If this is indeed a mutated humanoid, why would he appear at Pingda, why would he kill people—surely, he's come to seek your revenge!' Qin, the young man, looked utterly puzzled and replied, 'That's actually a very plausible scenario, Lord Hou. According to your description, this person is covered in potent toxins throughout his body—wouldn't it be quite difficult to kill him, wouldn't it?' Hou Bao nodded in agreement, saying, 'When you first faced him face to face, you must have felt like a tiger trying to bite a hedgehog, with nowhere to bite. He manages to fuse four distinct gene sets—my judgment is that ordinary bullets would struggle to harm him. It'll take your own cultivation abilities to make a difference!' He spoke with deep frustration, 'What can I do? I'm just a hardworking person! What can I do, Leader He? This mission is truly demanding. If I succeed, shouldn't you personally recommend me for recognition?" "He leader huffed, 'What merit do you need to be recognized for? It's clear you're just the leftover fish from your last mission—someone who's cleaning up after themselves. Yet you insist on making a big show of it? Really?' 'Heh, that's envy and jealousy, you know!' 'Oh, me? I'd never envy you!' The sports car driven by the two girls still drew attention from the classmates, while Qin Feng's military-grade Hummer, compared to the sleek sports car, looked more like a muscular, protective male guardian. As soon as they stepped out and prepared to head upstairs, Lin's phone rang. "What? Uncle Li is coming—he's here for what?" Lin's tone carried a hint of irritation; without needing to guess, one could already see it was her grandfather, the one who only cared when it came to profit. Honestly, since her grandfather passed away, the Lin family had managed to stay stable without any major issues—Qin Feng had already been quite satisfied with that. After hanging up, Lin complained angrily, "Everyone in the family is so focused on money—I just can't understand. How can such a family possibly be a cultivation lineage? Truly, heaven must be blind!" Qin, the young man, smiled pleasantly and asked, "What did the old man say exactly? Did he make you so upset?" She replied, "Grandpa said it's time for the New Year, so he asked Uncle Er to come and see me, and to bring me a bottle of medicine. He also said that once I take my leave, I should go back home, since the whole family is deeply concerned about me!" Honestly, even Grandpa himself might not believe this—after all, the only thing he truly cares about is how much benefit his granddaughter can bring him. "Did you know?" Lin Beauty continued, "Uncle Er is actually even more frugal than Grandpa. He brings a bottle of medicine here, and he expects to take at least ten back with him." "Besides, he demands everything valuable—any talismans, any precious items. He'll be persistent, insisting on his terms, and if he's not satisfied, he'll say anything unpleasant. Grandpa truly goes the extra mile, sending his second son himself!" From Lin Beauty's description, it seems clear that Uncle Er is particularly skilled at making demands and extracting value—like collecting windfall gifts and squeezing out more than he bargains for. Qin Dashi shrugged and smiled, saying, "My brother isn't a miser by nature, but when it comes to your Lin family—such a group of oddballs—I'll do my best to act like one. My second uncle isn't even my second uncle. He'll be polite enough when we meet, but if he dares to show off, I'll make sure he knows exactly how to write the word 'regret!' Lin lady nodded in agreement, saying, "I think it's necessary to give him a lesson—something to set an example for the others, so they don't think we're easy to handle." The female counselor, listening from the side, murmured, "This truly is the case of a daughter married off, yet water spilled—clearly leaning toward her own side. If your unlucky grandfather heard this, he'd surely be heartbroken!" Lin lady countered, "He won't be at all. Yue, hasn't the old master been bothering you lately?" Chen Yue raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying, "He's been poring over ancient texts, planning to publish a book. I'd say he'll remain quite quiet for several months, or even a full year!" Lin Meiren looked full of admiration and said, "If the Lin family could treat me as if they didn't care at all, that would truly be a blessing!" Qin, the young man, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, then around the beautiful female counselor's waist, and remarked, "In my opinion, your troubles are nothing at all—having such an outstanding husband, everything will naturally fall into place!" "Yes, yes," both women nodded in unison. Qin was enjoying himself, embraced by both women. In the distance, a shadowy figure stepped forward, watching the three figures for a long while, and murmured to himself, "This young man is truly a dandy. Since he's so well-suited for that, we must squeeze more out of him—otherwise, he'll surely share his best with other girls, and the Lin family will get absolutely nothing."
