Chapter 163 The Mystery of Transformation
However, the two of them also thought of a question: why did Mo Ze not grow rabbit features after being injected with the gene serum, but instead completely turn into a rabbit?
Could it be...
Lin Shushu suddenly remembered that Mo Ze had been seriously injured and lost too much blood, almost dying, back then. Could this be the reason? She voiced her thoughts.
"Do you think it's possible that because you lost too much blood and were on the verge of death, the gene-enhancing drugs injected into your body at that time took effect and saved your life?"
This idea may seem like a fantasy, but undeniably, it does have some merit.
Mo Ze fell into deep thought, carefully recalling Lin Shushu's words.
If that's the case, could we then speculate further that while the gene serum kept him alive, it would take time to fully transform his body, which is why he didn't wake up immediately after being rescued, and was even deemed to have no chance of survival?
Then, he turned into a rabbit and woke up.
Perhaps due to a struggle between human and rabbit genes for control of his body, he awakened SSS-level mental power. This powerful mental power then enabled him to regain his human form.
This explains why he turned into a rabbit after losing too much blood; it's likely because when he was on the verge of death, the rabbit genes took control of his body.
Lin Shushu listened to his analysis and also felt that it made a lot of sense.
"So, you've actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise?"
Mo Ze shook his head. What happened to him couldn't be known to the outside world, otherwise more people would want to research gene-based drugs.
Lin Shushu was just speaking casually; she knew the gravity of the situation. Mo Ze's ability to awaken SSS-level mental power was an inherent potential he possessed; the drug merely served as a catalyst. Only he himself knew the complexities and struggles involved in this process.
If it were someone else, like those injected with the drug, they wouldn't even be able to awaken their mental power, let alone maintain their rationality. They would simply become emotionless beasts, attacking the humans around them.
Although the mastermind behind the murder was not found, the secret of Mo Ze was finally explained, which can be considered a gain. The two then returned to a relaxed state.
However, people on StarNet are quite puzzled.
Only a small number of people were able to attend yesterday's banquet, and many netizens were eager to know the details. However, upon waking this morning, there wasn't a single trace of yesterday's banquet to be found. When did the royal family become so secretive?
Some sensed something unusual and became curious about what had happened last night.
However, this was a matter of great importance, and those in the know dared not reveal the specifics. They guarded the secret as if it were a vast treasure, not daring to speak of it easily, but only able to digest it secretly in their hearts.
Unable to contain themselves any longer, a few insiders gathered together to share their views on what happened that night, and of course, the discussion inevitably turned to Lin Shushu.
This led to Lin Shushu becoming a hot commodity, even though some of what happened that night was not something that could be discussed.
Various powerful families flocked to the Mo family, hoping to establish a connection. Unexpectedly, Lin Shushu didn't live at the Mo family's residence at all. However, they weren't disappointed. If they had befriended the Mo family, would it have been difficult to build a relationship with Lin Shushu?
Jin Siyue, thoroughly annoyed, also came to the villa. She didn't have a daughter of her own, but she adored Lin Shushu and An Xiaojie, and was always thinking about how to dress them up.
Seeing that she had taken out clothes and jewelry again, Lin Shushu immediately pulled Mo Ze away. Before leaving, she explained to her, "Auntie, Mo Ze and I have to go out. Please have fun at home."
"Shushu..." Jin Siyue's hand was still hanging in mid-air when the two figures disappeared. Helpless, she could only turn to An Xiaojie, who was standing awkwardly to the side.
"Xiaojie, since your sister is busy, I'll dress you up separately today." After saying that, she spread out a dress and held it up against An Xiaojie. "This color suits you very well. My taste is really good. Oh, and there's also the matching jewelry. Wait a minute, I'll go find it right away."
Miss An watched Lin Shushu and Mo Ze's departing figures, regretting that she lacked the power to follow them. It wasn't that she was ungrateful, but Madam Mo was simply too enthusiastic.
A few days ago, I sent them a box full of clothes and jewelry; she'd never worn so many in her life. This time, she brought even more and enthusiastically dressed them up.
Although there were some annoyances, it was all sweet. She wasn't really avoiding it, so when Jin Siyue asked her to change into new clothes and jewelry, she obediently did so. Making the elders happy was enough. Besides, her heart was warm and filled with gratitude.
Lin Shushu wasn't lying when she said she had something to do. After leaving the villa, she and Mo Ze went to the palace.
"Aze, Shushu, you're here!" Jin Hongyu's eyes lit up when he saw the two of them. Now that he knew the pill shop belonged to Lin Shushu, he boldly guessed that the spirit fruits also came from her.
After bowing to Jin Hongyu, the two sat down and waited for him to speak.
Jin Hongyu didn't beat around the bush and stated his meaning.
"Shushu, I know that the pills and spiritual fruits all come from you. I would like to ask if you could give the royal family a larger share. Don't worry, I will not object to any amount of star coins."
Lin Shushu's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't speak immediately. She glanced at Mo Ze, who didn't object, meaning it was all up to her.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "Your Majesty, I can give you the spiritual fruit, but its quality is not as good as before. Would you still like it?"
In fact, Jin Hongyu's words were exactly what she wanted to hear. In order to pass the An siblings openly, she had transplanted many spiritual fruits from her space.
Unlike other spaces, the outside world is different; fruits follow natural growth patterns and fall when ripe. It would be such a waste to let so many fruits rot on the ground. If someone wants them, this is a good place for them.
"How much difference in quality?" Jin Hongyu asked curiously.
"Well, actually it's not that much, maybe two or three tenths!" Lin Shushu guessed.
After all, the fruit trees themselves came from the space, so even if they were moved to a different place, they wouldn't be much worse, maybe even by 20 or 30%. She was exaggerating the loss of quality.
"I don't mind, take as much as you want!" Jin Hongyu laughed. He thought it would be much worse, but it's only 20-30% of the original quality, so it's not much different from the original.
You must know that the original spiritual fruit had extremely powerful effects, unlike anything he had ever seen before. Even if the quality was 20-30% lower, it was still a heaven-defying existence that others would beg for. How could he possibly look down on it?
"Okay, I'll send it to you when I get back," Lin Shushu readily agreed.
"Alright, it's settled then. As for the price, we'll calculate it according to your shop's rates." Jin Hongyu made the final decision. He never intended to get something for free, even if he were the emperor.
Lin Shushu didn't feign reluctance; her fruit was worth the price. Besides, a cash transaction was a sign of respect for both parties.
Mo Ze watched with a smile as the two sides reached a deal; he was quite satisfied with the outcome. He had originally wondered how he would appease his uncle if Shu Shu was unwilling! It was absolutely impossible to wrong Shu Shu.
