"Just security reasons. Don't want to repeat the past mistake in case the sa thing happens."
As the store worker opened the door, he quickly signaled Xiaoyun to go inside before closing the door.
"What's that attitude for?"
Xiaoyun wondered as the door almost slamd right into his face, with zero respect shown towards him.
"Governor, Chief Scientific Officer is waiting at her office."
A lady wearing a lab coat and a face mask was standing right behind him, her oddly blond hair making it clear she was a foreigner.
Yet her accent was surprisingly fine, indistinguishable from the local, as if she were born and raised here.
"Chief scientific officer? When did Tianci start calling herself that?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he began following her.
"Just a few days ago. She decided to make everything more formalized and separate the laboratory into different groups."
Xiaoyun didn't question it as he had zero clue about running a biology lab. The best he could do was to let her take care of everything.
"This place is a lot bigger than it was when I ca here last ti... How did you guys renovate everything in a few weeks?"
Xiaoyun comnted as he checked his surroundings, only to find workers wearing lab suits either sitting in front of a computer or in the middle of an experint.
"The renovation was finished with workers on the night shift... Here's Miss Tianci's office. I'll be leaving now."
As the lab worker speed-walked into the distance, Xiaoyun got a little confused as he could notice her face blushing when running away.
"Hey Tianci, what's up with everyone's attitude in this lab?"
"Everyone is grumpy because they need to work overti today. Anyway, can you take off your pants?"
"Take off my pants? What?"
Seeing Xiaoyun standing still, Tianci's face flushed for a second before she quickly got up from her seat to close the door behind him.
"I said, can you take off your pants? I need your... sperm for an experint."
"Oh, that. You aren't going to use it on IVF for soone else, right?" Xiaoyun questioned as he looked a little hesitant.
"Of course not. Just take off your pants and let get so samples." Tianci asked, her face started to get a little impatient.
"Take as much as you need."
Tianci shyly looked away as she went back to her drawer, taking out a small cup and a rubber band before tying her hair up into a ponytail.
---
After gathering a bunch of white samples in the cup, Tianci slowly got up from the floor as she wiped off the remaining from her lips.
"Thank you."
"No problem... Ahem, what kind of experint are you using these for?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as he zipped up his pants.
"We started testing on the liquid sample you brought in by putting different kinds of human blood into it.
They were all absorbed into the liquid sample, even when the ratio is 1ml to 100ml. It remained dangerous with no signs of changing property.
So I decided to test the sample liquid by dropping a few drops of your blood... And guess what happened to it?"
"What? Did it absorb it like the rest?"
"Nope. It stayed out. Not a single drop was absorbed until a week later... It was almost as if we put cooking oil into a pot of water."
"Huh. So what does it have to do with needing my... sperm?" Xiaoyun questioned.
"Well, before all this, we also tested with every biomatter we could co across. Every ti we put it in, it just gets absorbed.
Even so of the tal pieces were absorbed with no traces of them remaining. It's like a black hole that just sucks in everything."
"That doesn't sound safe... But that still doesn't explain what you're planning to do with my stuff."
"I was about to get there. So we were thinking, since it absorbed everything other than things that belong to you, we thought we should test it with your... stuff."
"You're putting this into that red liquid?"
"Yeah."
"Okay then... I'm not going to question it. Just tell whatever the result is when it cos out."
"You can actually co with to see it live right now."
Xiaoyun thought about it for a second before agreeing as he followed her out of the office and into the hallway.
Soon, the two of them found themsleve in a room filled with four other scientists wearing the sa lab coats as Tianci.
"Tianci, you got the samples?"
"Yep. Over here."
As Tianci handed the cup filled with white liquid over, none of the scientists seed to be disgusted by it as they put it onto a tray connected to the wall.
"Lab Experint 103, pouring in test subject #0's sen into the sample liquid."
One of the older scientists said out loud as the blond scientist who brought Xiaoyun in earlier started recording everything he said into the notebook.
Both Xiaoyun and Tianci watched as the third scientist pressed a button to reveal a whole separate room on the other side, covered by glass.
Right before them was the sample liquid, with its red color and a hint of fog trapped inside the specially-made quartz glass container.
As the fourth scientist pressed the second button, the lid was removed by a glass tong attached to a chanical arm.
Within seconds, red fog imdiately started expanding, rapidly filling up the room as the sa chanical arm reappeared with the small cup in its glass tongs.
Everyone in the room held their breath as they watched the white liquid land right on top of the sample liquid.
"Test subject #0 sen did not get absorbed. It has the sa isolating effect as his blood samples."
The chanical arm didn't even need to put the lid back on as the white liquid ford a layer on top, causing the red fog to vanish as fast as it had first appeared.
"Chen i, put the lid back on."
As the fourth scientist quickly pressed the button to have the lid put back on, Xiaoyun could feel everyone in the room looking a little excited.
"Is this test a success or a failure?" Xiaoyun curiously asked.
"It's a success so far. We need further study to make sure we can determine what kind of property this sample liquid has."
The senior-looking scientist answered as the blond scientist continued to record the whole conversation between them.
"Lee, that's enough. You don't have to record the conversation between and the governor."
The blond scientist finally stopped as Xiaoyun looked a little surprised to see the senior scientist recognize him.
"How do you know I'm the Governor?"
"Who else would have our Chief Scientific Officer bring an unannounced guest to one of the experints?"
"Got there."
"Anyway, nice to et you, Governor. My na is Liang i. I'm the Principal Investigator, or the lead scientist on this project."
"Nice to et you, too. My na is Xiaoyun."
As the two shook hands, Xiaoyun realized the person in front of him wasn't a man. It was just a woman with very short hair and an almost completely invisible chest.
"Ahem."
Tianci's cough quickly snapped Xiaoyun out of his thoughts as he let Liang i's hand go free.
"This is Lee, the scribe and an Undergrad, and this is Ma Lin, the Lab Assistant, who is a PhD student... And this is Chen i, the Lab Technician."
As Liang i introduced them one by one, Xiaoyun's mind once again realized their appearance had tricked him.
They just all happened to have short hair and looked a little masculine, but their voice told him the complete opposite.
"Nice to et you all... Ahem, Tianci, if you don't need anymore, I'm going to head back ho now."
"Go for it... Actually, can you co with to my office again? I need to show you sothing."
"Sure."
With Xiaoyun and Tianci quickly exiting the room, the four of them looked back at each other for a second before turning their attention back to the experint.
"What do you all think of the Governor?" Liang i curiously asked as they headed towards the
"Looks like a nice guy." Chen i murmured as she opened the glass panel to take back the cup.
"A lot shorter than I had imagined... I thought he would be a lot taller." Ma Lin comnted as she turned off the chanical arms.
"What do you think of the Governor, Lee?" Liang i asked again, noticing her standing there with her notebook in silence.
"Test subject #0 is the Governor, isn't it?"
The room fell into dead silence as all three of them turned over to Liang i, who barely flinched as she responded calmly.
"Of course not. What makes you think that? It's just a random person out in Luoping. You're overthinking it, Lee."
All three of them didn't buy her answer a single bit as they all stared back at her, dead in the eyes as they all stood there.
"Ahem, all test subjects' information in the lab is classified. Go back to your work and stop asking questions."
