"... Shark brain, this might be a bit over-nourishing."
Ansheng picked up his dropped jaw, completely unable to imagine the preparation process of the oil-poured Shasha brain dish.
"Master Fuli, please hurry there! If you don't go soon, we're truly afraid of something happening..."
The members of the logistics support team spoke with anxious expressions.
"Let's go, Xiaolan, we need to hurry..."
Ah Qing buried her head in the dining table, picking up her egg fried rice with one hand and shoveled large mouthfuls into her mouth without noticing the rice sticking to her lips after finishing her dish. She then picked up Huhu and ran off.
"Let's go!"
The logistics support team members were stunned, quickly hurrying Master Fuli and Ah Qing towards the School of Animal Science.
At the teaching room of the School of Animal Science, a group of Security Bureau staff was already gathered at the entrance, even Treasure Tree and Ba Mountain Mosquito were there. The Spirit Beast from the Treasure Tree lineage lounged on the windowsill, watching the happenings inside with a gossipy expression.
"Make way, Master Fuli has arrived—" The female member of the logistics support team squeezed inside, pushing the other Security Bureau staff aside, allowing Master Fuli to enter.
"What are you all doing here?"
Ansheng leaned on Ah Qing's shoulder, looking at Shasha with people hanging off her, asked strangely.
Inside the room, apart from some CNC machining centers, there were only Shasha and Medicine Spring Mountain Lord, two Spirit Beasts.
And on their bodies, like on their arms and waists, were Security Bureau staff clinging, lots of people persuaded the two big guys not to do anything dangerous.
One is a strategic-level partner, the other is a top student set to participate in the emerging school competition next year.
"Master Fuli, your timely arrival is perfect. Please help persuade the Security Bureau comrades hanging on me!"
"It's like loaning out a brain; what am I doing that seems like I'm dying."
Shasha looked helpless, raising a hand from which four Security Bureau comrades hanging on her arms rose off the ground, while the four clinging to her ankles and knees tightened their grip, persuading her to stay calm.
Everyone knew her performance pressure was great, but having pressure doesn't mean ignoring one's health!
"Loaning brains? Do we have the equipment? It's a bit scary loaning out your brain like that."
Upon hearing Shasha talk about loaning brains, Ansheng instantly recalled his initial encounter with Shasha.
In the First Epoch, not all beings could reach primordial, fully deducing the Life Blueprint.
Though flesh civilization did not have currency, there was the concept of biological evolution contribution points, accumulating with individual contributions to the city, but it wasn't constant, slowly decreasing over time.
The capable could execute Exotic Beast eradication missions, while citizens could earn through work.
Among these, the easiest job was to act as a super biological calculator component, known as wetware.
Going to work in the morning lying down for twelve hours, waiting for the next shift to take over, and then getting off work to enjoy life.
Shasha's loaning of brains probably meant loaning her brain to serve as wetware.
But... Where on Blue Star is there this thing; even if she loans out her brain, it can't be installed.
"It's because we don't have it that I want to develop it with Medicine Spring Mountain Lord."
Shasha replied confidently, "Within my endless gene data, there's precisely an expert who has been immersed for many years."
"In human terms, I'm creating new demand to provide me performance, crushing that performance-hogging brute!"
"You have research memories in this area?" Ansheng asked with surprise.
"Uh... I have experience acting as wetware and in repairs," Shasha shrugged and said, "But the problem shouldn't be large; the current hurdle needing overcoming is how to connect the wetware to computers, which is the conversion of electronic signals..."
"I can spit out a wetware life support pod. But you'll need to help me get them off first."
As Shasha spoke, she looked a bit helpless at the Security Bureau comrades clinging to her body.
Security Bureau members stationed at the Agricultural Research Institute could be divided into three types: one type ensures daily campus safety and equipment maintenance techs.
The other type acts as "nannies," their primary task making Treasure Tree produce a bit more Spiritual Liquid.
Another type follows Shasha, recording her daily behaviors for evaluation.
Even though the evaluators could understand Shasha's intention upon hearing her mention brain removal, in case of an accident, if a Spirit Beast rampages or Shasha has an incident, they cannot bear the responsibility of Spirit Beast safety accidents.
Not to mention that, this proposal from Shasha needs a meeting at the Security Bureau with a dedicated venue set up.
"Then... you guys come down first."
Ansheng thought about it, mildly curious about the gene evolution instrument of the flesh civilization era, spoke to the logistics support team's members blocking Shasha and Medicine Spring Mountain Lord.
"Yes!"
With Master Fuli present, pressing down any unexpected occurrences were assured with emergency stop mechanisms, the logistics team no longer stopped Shasha, forming a line and marched out of the room.
"Alright, now..."
Shasha turned around seriously, extending a palmed hand to Master Fuli and Ah Qing.
"Huh?"
Looking confused, Ah Qing gazed at Shasha's hand, a question mark forming on her forehead.
"Give some." Shasha stated seriously, "In human terms, I'm probably conducting 'fundraising.'
Ansheng, Ah Qing: "........"
"There, you, let some out." Ansheng's little fox face was covered with black lines, beckoning Treasure Tree.
They had come out for a live stream and shopping, not carrying any Spirit Particle Potions.
The fastest way to get potions was through either her fox secret formula or Treasure Tree Spiritual Liquid.
"Wow?"
Treasure Tree's little face fell, looking really unwilling, just watching the hustle from the windowsill, now having to pay for it?
"Only a little bit..."
Treasure Tree raised her palm, poking her index finger into Shasha's mouth, wearing a pouty expression.
"Hmm!?"
Shasha was puzzled looking at Treasure Tree, but as the Spiritual Liquid dripped, her expression turned to joy.
"Shoo, shoo..."
Treasure Tree withdrew her hand, showed a bit of teeth, and hid behind Ah Qing.
"Contribution point enrichment genome activated!"
Shasha licked her lips, looking at Treasure Tree with some longing in her eyes, but considering Master Fuli was waiting to see her performance.
Shasha activated the Life Blueprint, retrieving a segment of genetic record from Blue Star but shared gene group.
As the genes activated, a rippling flowed over Shasha's shoulders, sprouting two new heads.
Three-headed Shasha's whole body rippled, bursting through her career dress, her form twisted, feet pressing on ground reaching the ceiling, transforming into a white stump.
After moments of gene differentiation, the exterior white flesh slowly contracting backwards, Shasha, clad in shark skin armor, flipped off the life pod top.
"Well, it's done..."
Shasha wagged her tail and ran to Master Fuli, brimming with a feeling of accomplishment.
At the spot where Shasha initially stood, a biological device with white bones as the framework and milk-colored membrane as the construct gently squirmed.
Strand-like objects resembling umbilical cords and neural bundles extended from the ends of the device, hanging lazily or resting on the ground.
This biological calculator wasn't complete; the top layer umbilical-like tubes served as a series mechanism while the base of connected neural clusters and capillaries acted as links to the server room.
Shasha knew how to create a life support pod, but she had no memory related to the server room.
That was something not accessible to ordinary workers, only engineer-type kin could practically control it.
For regular workers touching a bio-mainframe meant brain-destroying massive data streams.
This biological computer wasn't complete, but the mainframe structure could be substituted entirely with human technology.
Shasha talked it over with Medicine Spring Mountain Lord, knowing her expert programming and mechanical prowess and backed by Xia Country Academy teachers, decided to collaborate.
Shasha wanted performance, Medicine Spring Mountain Lord wanted technology, they reached cooperation in less than half a day.
"Xiaolan, this thing is a bit intimidating..." Ah Qing swallowed secretly, protecting the little fox close to her.
The biological device looked intimidating but the interior membrane seemed to contain a two-headed person Inside, through the membrane, glimpses of a hazy scene appeared, numerous tubes linked to the reclining dual-headed human.
This terrifying scene made Ah Qing feel her legs tremble, adrenaline surging.
