Chapter 458: Discovering New Features, Now Money’s Going to Fall From the Sky
Xu Cheng was just wondering what his self-repairing ability was about, the one which allowed him to absorb water and quickly repair any wounds on his body. But, from yesterday’s discussion with Koman, he found out that all cells were basically born from water, and he realized that his self-repairing ability was basically his cells resuscitating, as they madly absorbed water to bring life back to the dead cells on his wound, allowing those cells to gradually come to life.
This was the biggest reason behind him acquiring Professor Koman’s lab.
Last night, Professor Koman had taught him how to use the equipment in the lab to study genes, and he also gave Xu Cheng the books to read to learn the basics.
He took out a needle and collected a little blood from his hand and put it into the fridge.
Then, he looked up to study the vein map of a dog.
He opened up the animal cage and took out a stray dog and injected it with some anesthesia before putting it onto the operating table.
After shaving off the hair, he saw that the part where the dog lost a leg was already scarred.
Following the principle of cell resuscitation, Xu Cheng first took a picture of the other leg on the dog that was still fine, noted down the measurements, and went to the window and said to Lin Dong, “Go, make a hollow silicone mold for this leg.”
Lin Dong didn’t know what his teacher was up to, but he did it anyway.
After he came back, Xu Cheng took the dog-leg mold to the lab.
If the cells could still recover and he didn’t prepare a mold, then the leg that grows back might just keep on growing without any specific shape in mind, making it difficult for it to be restored to the original shape.
So, Xu Cheng prepared the mold, first cutting off the scarred area with a knife, letting the blood run, and exposing the veins. And then, Xu Cheng strapped the mold on to the dog’s joint.
Then, taking out his blood from the fridge, he injected it into the dog’s vein from the area he shaved.
He put the dog back into the cage. Squatting down with his arms around his knees, he just stared blankly at the cage.
“Needs to succeed. Needs to succeed. Needs to succeed,” Xu Cheng kept on mumbling in his heart.
It didn’t take long before the anesthesia wore off, and the dog felt an intense wave of pain!
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at it, knowing that it was the sign of the serum trying to fuse into the body.
It was screeching and barking out of the sharp pain, and outside, Lin Dong curiously said, “Teacher, do you need my help with anything?”
“No,” Xu Cheng said and continued to stare at the dog.
“Hold on! Just hold on for a bit longer! Let that serum completely resuscitate your cells!
But, after five minutes, the dog fell down as if it was completely drained of any energy. Its body collapsed to the bottom of the cage and trembled.
Xu Cheng opened the cage and reached inside, petting it, and he noticed that it wasn’t moving anymore.
He failed.
At this thought, he sighed out of discouragement
He slowly stood up, feeling disappointed. Looking blankly at the dog, he originally wanted to just give up and take care of the dead body, but he still didn’t want to believe the dog just died like that.
It was a bulldog! Due to the broken leg, it was abandoned by its owner and became a stray dog. But, Koman brought it back, and it was able to stay alive under several experiments. Xu Cheng felt that no matter how powerful his genes were, just that little portion shouldn’t have been enough to kill the dog, right?
Xu Cheng activated his penetrating vision and looked at the dog, checking whether its heart was still beating.
What surprised him was that the dog’s heart was actually still beating! Although it was very faint, it was still beating!
This meant that it was still not dead!
Suddenly, Xu Cheng thought of something.
Water!
Right!
If new cell growth needed water, then this would need a lot of water. Water makes up most of the cells in the body, the resuscitation of cells obviously needed a lot of it!
Xu Cheng immediately went to the bathroom and came back out with a bucket of water, drenching the bulldog in the cage and closing it again.
The bulldog suddenly woke up violently, got onto its legs, and began struggling to kick away the mold that was attached to its joint!
It seemed very uncomfortable, but it also couldn’t get rid of it.
After ten minutes or so, the dog stopped struggling.
Xu Cheng opened the cage and grabbed over the bulldog. Then, he untied the mold that was attached to the dog. At the next moment, Xu Cheng was shocked to see the newly-grown leg on that bulldog. He was ecstatic!
He was even more thrilled than discovering a new ability in his own body!
He succeeded!
His blood could really be used to help resuscitate cells!
Looking at the bulldog running wild in the library with all four legs again, he also smiled.
Resuscitating cells!
He actually did it!
Xu Cheng suddenly began laughing out loud!
“I don’t have to facking go to the casino to plunder money anymore!” Xu Cheng exclaimed, “With this, I won’t ever have to worry about making money in the future!”
Xu Cheng fell into excitement.
With this, he would be able to create an even bigger project that could make money rain on him!
Since it can resuscitate cells, then wouldn’t it also be able to stimulate the repair of dead cells and allow them to fight off viruses and the spread of cancerous cells?
Money!
That was all money!
How many rich people out there were not afraid of death? How many of them suffer from incurable diseases like cancer and AIDS and have no luck to enjoy life with all of the money they made? That number was countless. Many people were so busy working hard during their early days and then they get all kinds of illnesses from not taking care of themselves better. In the end, they are unable to enjoy spending the money they worked so hard on making!
Too many!
These guys were all Xu Cheng’s potential customers!
Also, there was no competition!
Right now, there was no way at all to tackle those incurable illnesses! Hence, they had the adjective – incurable.
And that meant, Xu Cheng could basically create a monopoly in the medical treatment market!
Although he didn’t value money too much, money could allow him to significantly accelerate the deployment of his plans, because with money, you could almost do anything in this world.
And as for health and death, things that money couldn’t control, Xu Cheng could control it!
“Doggo, come, let me check to see if there are any sequelae. Good boy, come over. Then we will continue to study how to perfect this procedure.” Xu Cheng looked at the bulldog, but that little guy didn’t seem to be in the mood of getting back into the cage at all.
Xu Cheng grabbed some dog food and tossed it into the cage, and the bulldog immediately rushed into the cage and began chewing.
“Look at you…” Xu Cheng smiled and reached in to touch that newly-grown leg, but that little guy even kicked back once.
Powerful kick, not bad!
