Evolving infinitely from ground zero - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: 110. Sea God Revival

A few days later, Monday.

After breakfast, Lin Zichen accompanied Shen Qinghan to a specialized hospital to retrieve eggs.

Since the hospital was a bit far, they did not cycle but hailed a Didi on the roadside.

When they arrived at the hospital, Li Chuxin was already waiting outside.

As soon as she saw the two getting out of the car, she waved her hands with a smiling face and called out:

“Han Han, Zi Chen, over here!”

Hearing her voice, Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan walked towards her.

Subsequently, they all entered the hospital together.

Looking around after entering,

It wasn’t like ordinary hospitals that were crowded; the place appeared quite deserted with very few people inside.

It would be more accurate to call it a genetic material cryopreservation bank than a hospital.

Its services were very singular, involving only the extraction of genetic material, cryopreservation, and in vitro fertilization.

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

This was an official facility built to serve high school seniors who were following the Genetic Fusion Path or the Mechanical Modification Path, not for profit.

“There’s an introduction column over there; let’s go have a look,”

Li Chuxin pointed towards a wall ahead and said.

On that wall, there was a column introducing the services of the hospital.

Quickly, the three of them went over.

Lin Zichen skimmed the contents of the introduction column at speed, mainly showcasing the technology for cryopreservation of genetic material.

It could preserve not only the genetic material of males or females alone but also the material of the successfully combined entity capable of giving birth to a new life.

Under the latest cryogenic technology, theoretically, it could be preserved for several hundred, even a thousand years.

It was truly a case of “the person dies but the seed lives on.”

It could result in a situation where a baby born in 2999 had biological parents who had been buried back in 2099.

“Zi Chen, Han Han, they can extract and cryopreserve the fertilized egg here — do you two want to consider it?”

Li Chuxin teased the couple beside her.

Shen Qinghan actually considered it and silently turned to Lin Zichen, seeking his opinion.

Lin Zichen didn’t hesitate to say, “No need.”

Extracting and cryopreserving the fertilized egg felt as if the child was being frozen immediately upon conception, which was somewhat difficult to accept.

“Hello, do you have an appointment?”

A nurse with a friendly smile approached and asked.

She was a woman in her early thirties, with an especially warm smile, not at all like a typical nurse.

The reason for her good attitude was that those who could come to this hospital were the future elites, and naturally, the service provided to the elites had to be of excellent quality.

“We’ve already made an appointment,”

Li Chuxin opened the reservation proof on her phone and showed it to the nurse.

Shen Qinghan did the same.

After glancing over the reservation proof on their phones, the nurse smiled and turned to Lin Zichen, asking, “Sir, do you have an appointment?”

Lin Zichen replied indifferently, “No, I’m just accompanying them.”

He was following the Pureblood Human Path, so his reproductive capacity would not be affected, eliminating the need to extract genetic material.

“Please, follow me,”

After checking the appointment proofs, the nurse led Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin further inside.

With nothing to do, Lin Zichen started scrolling through news on his phone in the lobby, keeping up with social facts.

About an hour and a half later,

Shen Qinghan and Li Chuxin both came out.

They hadn’t retrieved eggs, only gone through a physical examination and received a follicle-stimulating shot.

The egg retrieval would have to wait until tomorrow.

“Such a hassle. I thought we could just get it done today; I didn’t expect we’d have to wait until the next day,”

Li Chuxin complained.

Ordinarily, the retrieval could be done right away.

But the maturity of the genetic material in both of their bodies was not quite up to the standard and needed another day to mature.

“I heard the follicle-stimulating shot we just had can also increase libido; I wonder if it’s true, but I’m not feeling anything yet,”

After speaking, Li Chuxin looked at Shen Qinghan and asked, “Han Han, do you feel anything?”

Shen Qinghan shook her head: “No feeling.”

Li Chuxin laughed and said, “Even if you did, it’s alright, you’ve got Zi Chen.”

After that, she continued, “Unlike me, nearing 19 and still a single virgin, never even held a boy’s hand. As soon as school starts, I’m definitely getting a boyfriend!”

While walking out, the three of them chatted on and off.

As they stepped out of the hospital, Li Chuxin suggested they not rush home and proposed they go shopping since they were already out.

Shen Qinghan was very keen and wanted to go shopping too.

Lin Zichen wanted to go home to practice Tempering Flesh, so he didn’t join the two in shopping.

After all, while girls liked to shop, boys did not.

Alone, he returned home,

Lin Zichen went upstairs to his room, quietly studying the “Blood Tempering Technique,” specifically, the Tempering Flesh phase.

After half a morning of research, he finally mastered the technique of Tempering Flesh.

Eager to proceed, he began to temper, starting with his right arm.

The right arm was used more often and was thus the priority for tempering.

Compared to Tempering Skin, the burning sensation of Tempering Flesh was stronger, but still within a bearable limit.

[You are using Qi-Blood to temper your muscles, muscle strength +1, Blood Tempering Technique proficiency +1…]

In the blink of an eye, an afternoon passed.

Lin Zichen consumed nearly half the Qi-Blood in his body and finally completed following the entire right arm.

The cost was that he felt very weak,

and dizzy to the point of fainting.

This was due to consuming too much Qi-Blood,

A normal martial arts student with modest talent would need to calculate by months to temper an entire arm.

But Lin Zichen had accomplished it in just one afternoon,

The gap was so vast that it wasn’t an exaggeration to say it’s the difference between heaven and earth, even feeling like they were not of the same species.
