Once the serum entered the body and circulated throughout, a noticeable reaction soon followed. Ye Hai could distinctly feel the serum changing the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow, causing significant changes in the blood. Ultimately, as new blood spread through every cell in the body, each cell underwent transformation.
This process was quick; under ten minutes, the transformation was complete. Ye Hai picked up a small knife and made a cut on his arm, leaving a deep scar. Pain radiated from his arm, accompanied by a violent itching sensation—this was the effect of regeneration kicking in.
"Ah!" Gwen exclaimed, watching in disbelief as the wound on Ye Hai's arm healed rapidly, leaving no trace behind as if he had never been injured.
"Incredible!" Gwen grasped Ye Hai's arm to examine it closely. She touched the smooth skin, feeling no remnants of injury, and giggled, "This is unbelievable! Will I experience this effect too?"
"Of course," Ye Hai replied, though somewhat concerned. "But since you're not a mutant, the serum you have is slightly different from mine. It will hurt when you inject it, and you need to have the willpower to endure it."
"Don't treat me like a delicate girl; what's a little pain?" Gwen pouted and quickly took her syringe, injecting the serum into her body.
"Ouch! That really hurts!" Gwen cried out, her delicate body starting to tremble violently as sweat broke out all over her. Ye Hai quickly hugged her, softly saying, "Hang in there; I'll be right here with you."
Gwen nodded, biting her full lips to suppress any sounds; she was a strong and competitive girl and didn't want Ye Hai to see her as someone who needed looking after.
This grueling process lasted over an hour, which felt painfully long, but with Ye Hai by her side, Gwen managed to get through it. Surprisingly, instead of feeling exhausted, Gwen felt energetic, as if her body were an endless source of energy.
"This is amazing! I feel fantastic!" Gwen exclaimed joyfully, picking up the small knife from the table. Hesitating for a moment, she made a small cut on her arm. A bit of blood oozed out, but it quickly healed.
Gwen was thrilled and then sliced a longer cut. Within moments, it had healed as well. "This regenerative ability is incredible! Ye Hai, does that mean I won't age?" Gwen looked at him with excited eyes.
Ye Hai nodded. "Yes, just like me, you'll maintain this appearance forever."
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful!" Gwen leaped in excitement, then her nose twitched, catching the scent of sweat from both of them. She frowned and said, "We really need to take a shower!"
"Yes, I think we should shower together," Ye Hai said with a smile.
Gwen's cheeks flushed slightly as she lifted her chin and said, "Alright then, let's go, rookie!"
"Rookie?" Ye Hai chuckled, scooping her up and rushing into the shower in the lab.
But in the end, things took a turn for the worse.
"Oh my God! I'm bleeding again! Am I going to turn into a virgin every time?"
Ye Hai felt a headache coming on; even the wisest could make mistakes. He hadn't thought that Gwen was still untouched. Had he known, he would have gone through that first before giving her the serum.
"What do we do? Ye Hai, I don't want our intimacy to always be so bloody," Gwen said, distressed.
"Leave it to me. I'll help you figure this out."
Ye Hai couldn't help but laugh; for a man, gaining a virgin was usually a joyful moment, mainly stemming from a psychological sense of possession rather than the physical aspect. Having someone like Gwen, however, would only frustrate a man.
"Ding! Task triggered: Help Gwen change her virgin body condition. Task duration: five days. Successful completion rewards: 1,000 points of scientific value."
'Virgin body condition?' That was quite an accurate term, Ye Hai thought with amusement.
Given that the situation had become complicated, the two had to pause their passionate moment. After a quick refresh, they dressed and exited the shower.
"System, how many points of scientific value do I have now?" Ye Hai asked internally.
"You have 18,193 points of scientific value."
"Over eighteen thousand. Let's solidify the first-level brain domain first."
"Understood. Ding! Host solidified the first-level brain domain, consuming 3,000 points of scientific value. Remaining: 16,193 points of scientific value."
As soon as the system's voice fell, Ye Hai felt a special energy enter his brain, warming it and creating a comfortable sensation. It felt as if his brain expanded rapidly; the warmth suddenly vanished, returning to its original state.
"Ding! Host has completed solidifying the first-level brain domain. From now on, the host's ordinary state brain domain activation is at 10%, and no more scientific value needs to be consumed."
