"Who are you calling a thug? I've attended more protests in a year than the number of tis you've bathed Cat Daddy!"
"Cat Daddy this, Cat Daddy that, what kind of thing is your daddy? Your daddy is not even as good as a cat!"
The place was filled with noisy argunts. Those who originally accused Su Mo were now split into two factions, engaging in a heated exchange.
Chu Nanyi was holding a cat, continuing to stir the pot passionately:
"What's with this Cat Daddy thing? Can't it be a mom instead? What right do you have to assu its gender?"
"Should cats be protected, while dogs deserve to be bullied? Why don't you speak for the dogs! I'm shaking with anger, breaking into a cold sweat on this hot day, my hands and feet turning icy cold!"
"Latest research shows that plants have feelings too. Why do you only care about animals? When will we plant protectors stand up for our cause?!"
"You're all right! But do you know that eating at leads to climate change and rainforest destruction!"
"Speaking of at, geez, is there actually soone who eats at rice dumplings? Aren't dumplings supposed to be sweet?!"
Under Chu Nanyi's provocation, the protesters completely fragnted.
Animal rights activists clashed with human rights supremacists.
Cat and dog lovers pointed at each other's noses, engaged in a verbal showdown.
Vegetarians and at-eaters argued endlessly over dietary issues.
Those who eat sweet dumplings and those who eat savory dumplings got into physical fights.
These protesters split into dozens of small factions, accusing and attacking each other due to different beliefs and stances.
As for the collective condemnation of Su Mo, it was completely forgotten by them.
The scale of the argunt grew larger, as people called their companions to join in the confrontation against other factions.
Not wanting to be outdone, other factions also summoned their companions to bolster their side.
Thus, the crowd grew, faces flushed with anger, pushing and shoving continuously, ultimately engaging in physical fights over topics like "how many genders exist" and "is eating pork considered animal abuse".
By the ti the sheriff arrived, there were over a thousand people gathered outside Edge Mansion, split into dozens of different factions in a massive brawl.
The sheriff used pepper spray and tear gas to disperse the crowd and arrested over a dozen instigators, finally calming the situation.
The mastermind behind all this, Chu Nanyi, sat on the steps, completely uninvolved, feeding the cat with canned food.
The cat lazily watched these foolish humans while eating the canned food.
Chu Nanyi returned to Su Mo's side with the cat, issuing his signature cheeky laugh from the ga: "Eh heh heh~ fun!"
Su Mo gave a thumbs up: "For having fun, you're the one."
"Didn't expect it, the young junior is quite capable." Dongdong raised her foot with a smile, pretending to kick again.
Chu Nanyi quickly clamped his legs: "No, no, no, I've finished the job, why still kick ?"
"Just ssing with you." Dongdong pulled out two lollipops, unwrapped one and put it in her mouth, handing the other to Chu Nanyi, "Here's your reward."
Chu Nanyi clicked his tongue, exuding charm: "Sister Dong, can I have the one you've eaten?"
Dongdong: "Say that again and I'll really kick you."
Chu Nanyi hurriedly accepted the lollipop sheepishly: "Just joking, just joking."
Su Mo looked at the chaotic scene outside the mansion, smiled and said, "Alright, having fun is one thing, but we must not neglect the security work of the Mansion."
He made a holographic call to Future.
On the phone screen, light and shadow intertwined, Future's upper body appeared in image, and she asked: "Boss, what's up?"
Su Mo: "Future, the security asures of the Mansion I ntioned earlier, are they all handled?"
Future: "They were already handled during the remodeling. The entire building is covered by the monitoring network I designed, and caras will scan the biological signs of everyone entering and exiting. Those not on the white list will be automatically transferred to the security center."
"Every five floors, there's a concealed tower core on the outer structure, purchased from Death Scythe Military Industry. They can automatically identify approaching aircraft and climbers attempting infiltration. The security center can unlock weapon permissions based on the situation, allowing them to launch attacks."
Future's efficiency was as high as ever, genuinely impressing Su Mo. He asked: "Based on your assessnt, how strong is the security system?"
Future's grin was sowhat twisted: "Boss, let put it this way, I'm looking forward to soone trying to invade Edge Mansion, they'll learn what firepower suppression ans then... Ee hee hee hee!"
This creepy laughter left Su Mo with goosebumps, he knew he didn't have to worry about the security of Edge Mansion anymore.
At this mont, Future said: "By the way, Boss, co to the basent, I have a significant result to show you."
"Alright, alright, I'm on my way." Su Mo rushed to the basent eagerly.
A result significant enough to be called "major" by Future must be extraordinary.
Dongdong and KK were also curious and followed him.
The basent laboratory is brand new, neatly arranged with various research instrunts, exuding a high-tech vibe.
Future stood in front of a chanical platform, handing a Hand Cripple Treasure and several clips to Su Mo: "Two things. The tracking bullets for this gun have been developed and can now be mass-produced, feel free to use them."
"Great!" Su Mo gave a thumbs up and placed Hand Cripple Treasure on the table.
Recognizing Su Mo's fingerprints, Hand Cripple Treasure's intelligent personality module activated, a gruff voice sounded: "Dog man! Left here for two months without a care, got a new gun outside, haven't you?"
Su Mo laughed heartily, patting it: "Oh, look how sour you are, no matter how good a gun outside might be, can it compare to you, Treasure?"
KK had seen Hand Cripple Treasure before, so found nothing special.
But it was Dongdong's first ti, she exclaid: "This gun can actually talk! Hey, what's your na?"
Hand Cripple Treasure, ever cheeky: "Hey what, hey, I'm your daddy!"
Dongdong's face changed and she retorted angrily: "I'm your mom! Can you speak properly?!"
Hand Cripple Treasure: "I'm your grandpa! Stay away from , I can't stand your pink-haired head!"
Dongdong: "I'm your grandma! You're a shotgun without a head, have so decency when talking to !"
The two went back and forth, a person and a gun, actually got into an argunt.
Future walked towards an enclosed zone and waved to Su Mo: "Boss, over here, let show you the key result."
Su Mo cautioned Dongdong while walking: "You can argue, but don't break it, this gun is quite rare."
He entered the enclosed zone, leaving Dongdong and Hand Cripple Treasure outside in a passionate exchange.
Inside the enclosed zone, there was a large terminal computer connected to a machine filled with intricate chanics.
"Whew~" Su Mo whistled, "Is this the new Blood Code Compiler we bought?"
Future sat down and said: "Yes, I've been researching for two months about this 'Ancestral Blood Code' you ntioned through blood samples."
"Boss, may I ask you sothing—were you once part of the Hegemony Company?"
Trusting his companions, Su Mo did not conceal the truth: "Yes, I was with the company, now I erased that information and changed my identity."
Future nodded: "I thought so. The 'Ancestral Blood Code' within you is different from any Blood Code available in the market, clearly an experintal piece not yet unveiled."
"The person who developed this Blood Code, I must say, truly has a wild imagination, daring to explore the realms of multiple Blood Codes... is he still alive?"
This question stumped Su Mo.
Is Dr. Chen considered alive or dead now?
This body is alive, taken over by Su Mo.
But Su Mo doesn't have Dr. Chen's mories, the original personality is long gone.
So is that alive or dead...
Su Mo pondered for a while then said: "Let's consider him dead."
Future lanted: "Oh...such a pity... I really wanted to communicate with him."
Su Mo: "So what have you researched?"
Future: "I won't explain the principles, it's too obscure and complex. In short, after repeated experints, I've found a way to activate new abilities within the Ancestral Blood Code."
In the ga, the Ancestral Blood Code has quite a few ability branches, Su Mo eagerly asked: "Oh? What abilities?"
Future spoke slowly: "Related to devouring. The initial ability of the Ancestral Blood Code allows the carrier to absorb others' Blood Codes and achieve multi-Codes compatibility within."
"For example, as a Crimson Rose Blood Code carrier, if you absorbed the Mad Corpse Blood Code, you'd gain additional Mad Corpse Blood Code abilities."
"Normally, after absorbing others' Blood Codes, new Blood Codes start from the 'Low Tier of Awakening', then you have to slowly level up."
"This approach is extrely inefficient. If every new Blood Code has to be trained from scratch, it could take forever. So I'm devising shortcuts for you."
She gestured for Su Mo to lay flat on the Blood Code Compiler bed, her smile turning mysterious: "Now, the shortcut has been found."
