For the next few days, Han Ning worked, lived, and studied as usual.
However, over the past few days, Han Ning noticed that ever since Sun Haoyuan came to the research institute, there were often soldiers around him.
This had never happened before.
Because of this, Han Ning even wondered if his talent had been exposed.
However, the laboratory was always a sealed environment. Bai Yu had specifically instructed that outsiders were not to pry or disturb the experiment.
And every time he carried out gene extraction, Han Ning hid his actions very well. He was a hundred percent sure that Bai Yu did not notice anything unusual.
Therefore, Han Ning felt that he might be worrying for nothing.
However, after noticing that someone was watching him, Han Ning became even more cautious. Even before he went to bed, he had to repeatedly recall the events of that day to make sure that he didn’t reveal anything.
These days lasted for a week.
A week later, Han Ning woke up and was called out by the guards.
An officer was waiting outside.
When the officer saw Han Ning, he said, “Hello, Han Ning. I’m Zhang Jingyuan, the financial group’s military officer in this area. Boss Sun asked me to inform you personally that from now on, you will be promoted to an honorary second lieutenant and enjoy the military treatment.”
“In the future, you will be in charge of the gene extraction of the Divine Blood Ants in the institute. Mr. Bai Yu will be your assistant.”
“Oh?”
Han Ning had just woken up and was still half-conscious. However, when he heard this news, he was immediately sober.
“Sir, why did my treatment suddenly improve so much?”
Zhang Jingyuan explained, “The Divine Blood Ant’s genes are very precious. After the financial group heard about your abilities, they specifically asked you to be in charge of extracting them. Furthermore, the Divine Blood Ant’s genes are mainly used by the military, so they gave you a military rank.”
So that was it!
Han Ning was enlightened.
It seemed like his achievements had already been acknowledged by the organization.
Han Ning nodded. “Understood.”
Zhang Jingyuan extended his hand. “Welcome, Second Lieutenant Han. We will be colleagues from now on. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to ask me for help.”
Han Ning shook his hand.
He could tell that Zhang Jingyuan was trying to get on his good side.
Clearly, in the eyes of this superior officer, if he could be valued by the financial group’s internal missions, his future would definitely be bright.
In comparison, no matter how high a military officer’s rank was, unless they were an inner member of the financial group, they would only be a tool of war for the financial group. Their status would be inferior.
After bidding Zhang Jingyuan farewell, Han Ning arrived at the laboratory as usual.
The moment he entered, Bai Yu looked at him with a smile.
“Han Ning, your performance this time was not bad. The Sun family has already acknowledged your achievements and approved the research institute’s next phase of funding. This time, it’s all thanks to you that the treatment has improved quite a bit.”
“Congratulations, Professor.”
Han Ning smiled as well and briefly told him about Zhang Jingyuan looking for him.
After that, the master and disciple started their day’s work as usual.
Arriving at the experiment table, Han Ning eagerly said, “Professor, you’ve received the instructions from the higher-ups, right? Let’s extract the Divine Blood Ant today. Everyone says that this thing is precious, but I’ve never seen it before!”
Han Ning’s real intention was to obtain the Divine Blood Ant’s genes as soon as possible.
The corpses in the research institute were all stored in the designated location and could not be randomly moved without permission.
A few days ago, he was still thinking about how he could get in touch with the Divine Blood Ant. He did not expect that the Sun family would send the opportunity to him so quickly.
However, Bai Yu made a small joke. “Indeed, the master will starve to death if the disciple is taught!”
Han Ning was a little embarrassed.
After spending so much time with Bai Yu, they were already familiar with one another.
Although Bai Yu was very serious in his research, he was still humorous in his life. In this dimensional space that was savage and gory, such a gentle personality was very rare.
However, Han Ning was in a hurry to extract the Divine Blood Ant’s genes, so he did not have time to joke with Bai Yu. Instead, he urged, “Professor, don’t waste time. Research is more important!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Indeed, at the mention of research, Bai Yu’s expression turned serious and his movements became much more agile.
The master and disciple took out the Divine Blood Ant and placed it on the experiment table.
The Divine Blood Ant’s body presented a demonic blue color, and its appearance was similar to that of the ants on Earth.
Although these creatures looked like ants, they had well-defined internal organs, bones, and other body structures.
Furthermore, although the Divine Blood Ants were small in size, they would always move in groups. Furthermore, they had a savage nature. If one were to encounter them alone in the wilderness, they would be devoured within a few seconds without even a bone remaining!
Due to its small size, the dissection process of the Divine Blood Ant was much more troublesome.
However, Bai Yu’s technique was very skillful. He was not affected by the size of the Divine Blood Ant when he dissected it.
Looking at Bai Yu who was separating the internal organs and blood, Han Ning felt a little sympathetic.
It was such a small thing. If he separated eight or ten of them in a day, he would have been blind.
Finally, the dissection of the Divine Blood Ant reached the final step.
Then, Han Ning and Bai Yu began to connect the separated cells to the extraction catheter. During this process, Han Ning quietly touched the parts of the Divine Blood Ant that had been separated.
It had to be said that it was indeed more troublesome to try to touch such a small thing in secret than those big guys.
Fortunately, Han Ning was very familiar with it and did not make any mistakes.
After the contact, the Divine Blood Ant’s gene option appeared on Han Ning’s status. As usual, Han Ning distributed 1% of the gene to the test tube and added the rest to himself.
A prompt immediately appeared in his mind.
[Successfully extracted. Obtained Divine Blood Ant Gene x1 Point.]
As some transparent liquid was added to the test tube, Bai Yu said happily, “Hahaha, good disciple, your talent is still so useful! It would be a pity if you fail to extract such precious genes!”
Han Ning nodded. In fact, since he had to separate 1% of the gene each time to hand it over, he only received 0.99 gene points.
However, this was not important!
What’s important was after this extraction, he had already obtained the genes of the Divine Blood Ant!
Next, he had to figure out the uniqueness of the Divine Blood Ant’s genes, as well as its genotype, and use it for his first gene fusion!
While Bai Yu was examining the Divine Blood Ant’s gene, Han Ning pretended to ask casually, “Professor, I have yet to come into contact with the domain of gene fusion. What is the process of fusion?”
Bai Yu was in high spirits and did not think too much about it.
He replied while checking, “You want to see it?”<
"How about this, we don't have any ready targets to experiment on. I'll find an experimental target tomorrow to demonstrate it to you.."
