First, she felt pity for the soldiers with defective Genes.
Second, an old saying popped into her head: possessing a treasure is a cri.
This morning, after asking her question, Jiang Qiuqiu and Little Qing had a much deeper conversation.
She finally ca to truly understand what gene collapse was.
In this era, humanity had awakened its spiritual power and Beast Clan Genes, gaining imnse power and longer lifespans. But awakening one’s Genes was not without its side effects.
Genetic Hybrids constantly switched between their human and beast forms. For so, their Genes were stable, and switching back and forth was no issue. But for a small minority, their Genes were defective and unstable. After switching too many tis, flaws would begin to appear.
This was known as beastification.
At first, they would lose control over their beastly features, with ears and tails appearing for no reason, and fur sprouting on their bodies.
Later, their minds would beco prone to agitation, and they would grow irritable.
Further down the line, the beastification would worsen. Furry features would beco permanent, their hands and vital organs would gradually transform, and they would slowly lose their human form. They might even lose the ability to walk upright, taking on more animalistic traits. At this stage, however, they still retained their human consciousness, teetering on the final line between human and beast.
Until the very end, when they could no longer hold on. Their life would continue, but they would no longer be human.
It was only then that Jiang Qiuqiu realized gene collapse and spiritual power collapse were on completely different levels.
Currently, the Federation had no dicine to treat these genetic defects. Once the first signs appeared, all one could do was wait. It might take a year, or it might take ten, but beastification was rely delayed—it was never absent.
In this field, only the grandmasters of the Spirit Healing Realm could use their powerful Original Spiritual Power, refined to the level of Perfection, to slightly suppress gene collapse.
But how many grandmasters of the Spiritual System did the Federation even have? And how many people were suffering from gene collapse? The numbers were completely mismatched. Furthermore, the amount of Healing Spiritual Power required for a single patient was terrifying. Even if a grandmaster was willing, they could only help a dozen or so people at a ti...
It was an almost incurable affliction.
Until Little Qing and the others encountered Jiang Qiuqiu’s food.
It was like a traveler in the desert stumbling upon an oasis.
Although it only had a slight suppressive and disruptive effect, that was already incredibly powerful!
’Such a powerful ability... And I’m just an ordinary person with A-level spiritual power.’

After their talk, Jiang Qiuqiu chatted for a while with Brother Leopard in his cage.
Having shaken off her initial shock, she faced Brother Leopard with composure, unafraid of his beastly appearance.
As they spoke, her expression was peaceful, showing only a hint of curiosity.
This helped Brother Leopard warm up to her. As they chatted, he even said, "We actually t the first ti you ca. You saw back then, too."
He seed a little happy.
After she talked with him for ten minutes, Brother Leopard seed ntally drained and went to rest.
In the hallway, Little Qing was very excited. He thanked Jiang Qiuqiu again. "Miss Jiang, thank you for being willing to talk with Brother Leopard. His condition is so much better after speaking with you!"
Later, as they were leaving the hallway, Jiang Qiuqiu looked at the cages up ahead again.
’Before, when I didn’t know, I could look at these animals as if they were just pets...’
"Have they completely beastified?" Jiang Qiuqiu asked.
Little Qing humd in agreent. "Probably after winter. The Military Departnt will release a batch of them to Tatar Planet."
’The climate there is pleasant, and it’s an undeveloped tourist planet. It’s probably a good place for them to go.’
’Released into the wild...’
