Rebirth of a Portable Space: Transforming My Hometown

Chapter 309 Return to Base - Experiment

Chapter 309 Back to Base - Experiment

Xiao Hei knew very well that the rat named Devouring Sky was Cui Yu'an's summoned beast, their future partner.

Even if Devouring Heaven resists and refuses to admit defeat, it will only lock it up for a few days at most before releasing it.

Besides, it has backed down now; it, the cat, always keeps its word.

Naturally, they released it now. After emerging, the Devouring Rat felt it had lost face and returned to its summoning space without a word.

He went to heal his young heart

"Ugh! This guy~" Cui Yu'an looked at the Devouring Rat, which returned to its spatial dimension without even saying goodbye to them, and felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Meow~"

(Cui Yu'an, it's okay! It's just emotionally hurt right now, but it'll be fine later. With me here, it'll be very well-behaved.)

Yufei knew that Cui Yu'an couldn't understand her dog Xiao Hei, so she immediately translated what Xiao Hei was saying.

Cui Yu'an also learned that Shitian had suffered a setback in the small black space, which explained why he seemed so awkward after emerging from there.

Cui Yu'an felt relieved and happy; finally, someone could deal with his Shitian family.

If we allow it to continue acting so lawlessly and arrogantly, trouble will inevitably arise sooner or later.

Cui Yu'an always believed in the saying "there are always people more capable than you, and the sky is always higher than the heavens," but blind self-confidence would eventually ruin him.

This matter came to an end with the battle; they had been on the human-insect battlefield for approximately 13 days.

"Some time ago, we killed a Zerg team composed of mutated space Zerg and mutated earth Zerg on the battlefield."

After that, the Zerg seemed less aggressive in launching attacks and instead switched to defense, and now the war between the Zerg and Terrans has calmed down again.

I had nothing else to do, so I was able to slip away while my cheap master wasn't looking. I thought I could find you all quickly.

I didn't expect it to still cause a few days' delay. I bet my cheapskate master is going crazy by now.

I won't delay my return, and I reckon I'll be dragged back to base by my cheap master soon anyway.

"You decide for yourselves whether you want to come back to base with me or continue collecting Zerg corpses here."

Cui Yu'an said helplessly, "Sometimes having an overly responsible parent can be quite troublesome."

After hearing Cui Yu'an's question, He Junlin and Xie Yiren turned to look at Yufei, as if to see what she thought.

"Let's go back together. I'll repeat what I told He Junlin and Sister Xie Yiren before."

Then Yufei repeated the explanation of the gene serum that had no side effects.

As expected, Cui Yu'an and He Junlin had the same reaction: they couldn't believe such a good thing could happen.

However, he offered another option: to bring in laboratory mice from Earth to test the technology. If there were no problems with them, then they could use it.

He Junlin and the others' eyes lit up after hearing this; it seemed like a really good idea.

"Alright, after we get back to base, contact him. Cui Yu'an, go back to Blue Star and ask Uncle Li for a few lab rats."

Yufei made arrangements for what to do next.

"Let He Junlin go back~ I might not be able to, I still have to go to the base after I get back..." Cui Yu'an paused before she could finish speaking.

He seemed to have received something that made him happy, and excitedly continued...

"He Junlin doesn't need to go back to Blue Star anymore. My dog, Shitian, just said that if we give it a bottle of that gene serum, it can analyze its effects and side effects for us."

Yufei was incredibly surprised; Cui Yu'an's little mouse was amazing!

He Junlin and Xie Yiren exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's amazing!"

"Squeak~"

(Oh, it's nothing special, just average, only third in the world.)

Devouring Sky had emerged from the summoning space at some point. Hearing He Junlin and the others' praise, it replied with a haughty air.

Her eyes kept glancing at Xiao Hei, as if to say, "See? So what if you defeated me? I'm still more useful than you."

Besides, that defeat was entirely due to my underestimation of you. I'm sure I can beat you next time.

Of course, Xiao Hei saw the look in Shi Tian's eyes and understood its meaning, but so what? No matter how powerful it was, Xiao Hei was still its boss, and Shi Tian could only be a subordinate!

Therefore, Xiao Hei ignored them, lazily nestled in Yu Fei's arms, its tail rhythmically patting gently.

"Alright, go back to the barracks! Don't make your master worry. We'll head back to base today. Once you're back, take some time to finalize the gene serum matter."

It was a pleasant surprise that Shitian could discern the effectiveness and side effects of the gene serum, saving her from having to waste her breath explaining further.

Yufei started urging Cui Yu'an to leave; they were also preparing to return to the base.

Cui Yu'an and Yu Fei's reunion at the base took five days.

Yufei retrieved 10 bottles of gene serum from the space using the willow tree's wood core, the brown bear's earth core, and the three-headed dragon's water, fire, and electricity cores.

Yufei took out five bottles, and only after making an excuse to go out was she able to get them out.

Cui Yu'an was taken back to base by his master the day after he returned to the military camp.

Yuan Liu felt that every day Cui Yu'an stayed on this battlefield, he felt like he would lose a year of his life.

Since there was nothing more for him to do on the battlefield, he simply took Cui Yu'an back with him.

The mechs were fast too; Yufei and the other two got back to base before Cui Yu'an. It took them a whole day to get back to base after Cui Yu'an had already returned.

However, after Cui Yu'an returned to the base, he was dragged into training by his cheap master, so they didn't reunite for 5 days.

"Hey! This is the gene serum I got that has no side effects," Yufei said, handing a vial of fluorescent green liquid to Cui Yu'an.

He Junlin and the others watched nervously, and He Junlin asked worriedly.

"Yu'an, are you sure this won't harm Shitian?!"

"Squeak~"

Before Cui Yu'an could speak, Shitian spoke up, with an expression that said, "Who do you think you are?" However, He Junlin couldn't understand its words.

Cui Yu'an glanced at Shitian and said to He Junlin

"Don't worry, Devouring Sky said it got its stomach."

He then handed the gene serum that Yufei had given him to Shitian, who took it and drank it all.

Yufei remained calm, while the others stared at Shitian with tense expressions.

After finishing the gene serum, Shitian smacked his lips, as if savoring it.

"Squeak~"

Then they began to comment, but He Junlin and the others couldn't understand it, so they all looked at Cui Yu'an, asking him to translate.

Upon hearing what Shi Tian said, Cui Yu'an was initially taken aback, then smiled and began translating for He Junlin and the others.

"Shitian just said that this gene serum tastes good and has decent energy. For humans like us who are completely undeveloped, it can upgrade us to level one summoned beasts."

I estimate it's what we call primary gene unlocking, without side effects.

As Cui Yu'an translated, He Junlin and his companion went from surprise to excitement. It turned out he wasn't a fraud after all, and there really were no side effects.

Then Cui Yu'an took out a bottle of light green gene serum from his pocket. This was gene serum provided by the base, and handed it to Shitian.

Shitianxie searched for Cui Yu'an's eyes.

"Squeak~"

(Summoner, don't you trust me?)
