Mo Pai led the way, slowly pushing open the laboratory door.
As soon as he stepped out, he was stunned by the scene before him.
The entire corridor, from the walls to the floor to the ceiling, was covered with guards in gray uniforms.
Basically, all the guards in the entire laboratory were stuck there.
Each one was in a bizarre pose, unable to move at all.
Mo Ran and Xiao Bai stood at the doorway, giggling as they played with the silk threads woven by Mo Ran.
Upon seeing Zhang Chen emerge, they quickly threw the silk threads aside and exclaimed with beaming smiles,
"Daddy! We've been good!"
Zhang Chen nodded and gently pinched both girls' cheeks.
Hiss... pinching both Xiao Bai's and Mo Ran's cheeks at the same time... it felt so good!~
"Hmm... this way, please!"
Mo Pai made a gesture of invitation, leading Zhang Chen through several checkpoints before arriving at the archives.
He then pulled out several paper research reports and handed them to Zhang Chen.
"This is the apocalypse, and no one knows when the power will go out, so we've adopted a more primitive paper-based preservation method!"
"To prevent the loss of all electronic data due to a lack of electricity."
"Everything you need is here!"
Zhang Chen looked at the documents. Some of the content was straightforward and understandable, but when it came to the data sections... although Zhang Chen recognized all the words, they were completely incomprehensible when put together.
He glanced at the time. There was still plenty of time before the mandatory return.
So, Zhang Chen sat down in a chair and said to Mo Pai,
"I need you to explain these, including how abilities are generated and how you create ability users!"
Mo Pai nodded and sat opposite Zhang Chen.
He was actually itching to share his knowledge. He had developed such important things but couldn't share them with anyone.
After all, creating ability users was a classified matter. If someone with ill intentions got their hands on this technology, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Mo Pai simultaneously wished for his research achievements to be praised and for the secrets not to be leaked.
This dilemma was truly tormenting.
Now that Zhang Chen, from another world, had appeared, leaking the information would not cause any impact on this world.
Of course, he was eager to show off, so he quickly explained,
"Actually, through the study of bio-energy, I discovered that bio-energy is like computer programs. Different combinations can create different effects!"
"For example, for lightning abilities, as long as a stable bio-energy structure is formed within the human body, that person can gain lightning abilities!"
"However, because everyone's genes are different, their suitable bio-energy structures are also different, which is why everyone's abilities are unique!"
"What I call creating ability users is simply designing abilities that suit different people based on their genetic characteristics."
"So, this process is a bit like opening a blind box. Even I can't know what ability a person is suited for before they use it."
"But according to the compiled program, I can know that their ability will definitely be within a certain range of possibilities!"
Zhang Chen nodded, then pointed to the bio-energy structure for lightning abilities in the document and asked,
"How did you design this bio-energy structure?"
This question seemed to hit a nerve with Mo Pai, and he quickly explained it in great detail.
As he explained, he gestured with his hands, for fear that Zhang Chen wouldn't understand.
In the end, Mo Pai, basking in Zhang Chen's appreciative gaze, contentedly returned to his seat.
Then he said with lingering interest,
"Actually, even though I've told you so much, if you don't understand genetics or haven't studied bio-energy, you'll only get a general idea!"
"To successfully apply this ability to the human body, there are still many complex hurdles to overcome..."
"Of course, this varies from person to person, and I won't go into detail here. If I did, it would be endless!"
As soon as Mo Pai finished speaking, there was a loud crackling sound, and a burst of strong light illuminated the room.
Looking closely, it turned out to be the sound emanating from Zhang Chen's fingers.
Zhang Chen lightly tapped his right hand five times.
Soon, a ball of blue-white electric sparks erupted at his fingertips, making loud crackling noises.
"You... how did you manage to master lightning-element abilities?"
Mo Pai's jaw almost dropped in astonishment.
He had only just explained the bio-energy structure of lightning-element abilities to Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen learned it after hearing it just once?!
This was too outrageous!
This was unscientific!
"I just reconstructed the bio-energy according to what you said, and this was the result!"
"It doesn't seem that difficult... it's just that to use it to eliminate monsters, it will require a long time of practice!"
Zhang Chen said, looking at the sparks on his hand.
"This... this is simply incredible. Then... there are also the bio-energy compositions for fire and frost elements. Shall I explain those to you too?"
Mo Pai quickly and meticulously explained the bio-energy structures for fire and frost abilities again.
After listening, Zhang Chen's brow furrowed deeply.
He lowered his head and looked at his hands.
But for a long time, his hands showed no reaction.
"As expected... once a person masters one ability, they can't fuse it with other abilities?"
"Actually, the fact that you could comprehend lightning abilities on your own is already very remarkable."
"So far, I haven't seen any strong individuals with dual abilities."
"At best, they've mastered one ability and have enhanced physical fitness in other aspects."
"But in my opinion, powerful physical fitness is nothing compared to these abilities that can control wind, fire, lightning, and thunder!"
Mo Pai sighed.
He had originally hoped to see a miracle from Zhang Chen, because this man, since his appearance until now, had always done the unexpected and impressed people.
However... some things cannot rely solely on miracles. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work.
This is science...
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a ball of flame appeared in the palm of Zhang Chen's left hand.
The flame hovered in his palm, its color gradually changing with Zhang Chen's thoughts.
"Dual abilities! Dual abilities have finally appeared!"
Mo Pai's eyes widened in shock, and he no longer had the words to describe his current feelings.
Crack... crack!
At the same time, a mass of ice crystals appeared in his right palm, like dancing snow sprites...
"Three... it's triple abilities..."
