Chapter 2

The white-coated doctor laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Su Chen like a rare treasure. From the initial research on Su Chen's cells, he had noticed an extraordinary level of cellular activity, harboring genes that continuously mutated. However, due to the limited sample size, there wasn't much room for extensive experimentation.

Despite this, he had a bold hypothesis: Su Chen's body would evolve resistance to external stimuli. For instance, under intense heat, the mutating genes would evolve to resist fire; in a freezing environment, the genes would develop resistance to cold. The scene before him confirmed this theory. The boy's skin, penetrated by bullets, evolved resistance within seconds, making it impervious to further bullet penetration.

The doctor suddenly recalled a phrase: "He cannot be defeated by the same move twice."

"Damn it..." The soldier, unwilling to believe in such phenomena, kept pulling the trigger.

Rat-a-tat-tat...

Flames burst from the gun's muzzle, and bullets continuously flew towards the boy.

Ting ting...

But the bullets that hit Su Chen's body all bounced off without exception. They couldn't believe that a person's skin could be this tough!

With an angry look on his face, Su Chen glared at the soldiers.

"Die!" he shouted angrily.

Bang!!

With his hysterical outburst, reality around him began to warp. The soldiers rushing through the lab door turned pale and clutched their chests, screaming in pain.

"Ah!!"

They felt as though an invisible giant hand was squeezing their hearts. With a loud bang, their hearts were crushed by this unseen force.

Thud!!

The soldiers fell to the ground, their dying eyes filled with fear as they looked at the boy, as if they were seeing a demon.

"Amazing, this is even more powerful than telekinesis; you are rewriting reality…"

The doctor on the floor excitedly narrated.

"Shut up."

Su Chen turned his gaze to him, recalling the doctor's sinister face with a scalpel ready to perform a craniotomy on him. Rage surged from within him.

"Die too!"

As he spoke, another wave of invisible energy swept through reality, causing the doctor's head to explode like a smashed watermelon, spraying red blood all over the ceiling.

I want to go home! I want to live well!

"No one can stop me."

Su Chen's eyes grew colder. His slender figure stepped down from the experimental platform. He touched his forehead and realized his immortal body was still working, with no trace of injury.

However, the emergence of these supernatural abilities made him aware that his body was undergoing significant changes.

He couldn't comprehend the principles behind these changes. All he wanted was to survive.

Boom!!

The lab door closed, the thick steam valve designed to contain even the most powerful mutants. To prevent accidents, the ventilation system was equipped with a toxic gas mechanism.

Hiss...

Soon, green gas filled the lab, potent enough to incapacitate an adult elephant in a second.

Su Chen frowned as his senses dulled, feeling incredibly fatigued, as if he would collapse. But within a second, the paralytic effect of the gas weakened.

"I see."

At thirteen, Su Chen had an epiphany: external stimuli triggered his rapid evolution of new abilities.

No...

More precisely, his immortal body housed infinitely mutating genes that evolved in response to external threats, sprouting new abilities.

In just a few minutes, he had exhibited telekinesis, reality manipulation, and invulnerable skin—abilities he hadn't shown before, indicating they were newly developed.

Su Chen felt himself becoming smarter, as if his intelligence had leaped forward. To manage the growing array of abilities, he realized he needed to categorize them.

Like the child prodigies on TV who construct memory palaces, retaining every book they've read, or like Sherlock, organizing his thoughts methodically.

Inspired by novels he had read, Su Chen began constructing a system in his mind to summarize the genetic changes occurring within him.

For instance...

[Poison Resistance +10]

[Poison Resistance +10]

[Poison Resistance +10]

...

[Host's body has become immune to nerve gas, impervious to all poisons.]

The genetic changes prompted by external stimuli were vividly summarized by the system he had constructed.

Perfect!!

Su Chen was very satisfied.

Then...

He turned his gaze to the locked lab door. With a surge of telekinetic energy, the steam valve door crumpled inward.

P.S.: It wasn't the system that chose the protagonist; the protagonist created the system according to his needs.
