Chapter 50: The Fox and the Mink (1/2)

The elevator stopped on the fourth floor, and the silver doors slid open, revealing a vast, vintage-style arena. Training facilities were neatly arranged around the central arena, resembling a sports center. Occasionally, there were corridors indicating that the area wasn’t as simple as it appeared.

At that moment, two figures were engaged in a sparring match in the arena. One of them was likely a Specialized Agent from the Bio-Scientific Institute, a man whose powerful punches revealed his martial training.

The other person was a familiar figure to Shen Cheng—Tiger Demi-Human Nana.

The man’s punches were as forceful as a breaking bamboo, crashing towards Nana like a tidal wave, and the sound pierced the air, heard clearly by Shen Cheng from afar.

Then…

“Bang!” In a flash, Nana dodged, sending the man flying and landing on the ground, curling up and twitching slightly.

Shen Cheng thought to himself, “This girl seems to have grown even stronger…”

Such scenes always gave Shen Cheng the impression of an adult bullying a child.

Besides, Shen Cheng quickly understood why Li Ji and others were so desperate to confront these fierce animals turned Demi-Humans. Take this Tiger Demi-Human for example; no cat Demi-Human or dog Demi-Human could match up to this level.

Furthermore, Yu Lan mentioned to Shen Cheng that the higher the degree of enhancement from Demi-Humans Genetic to the human body, the rarer the corresponding aptitude user. This ensured that such high-level combat power would always be a minority.

Additionally, it was noted that Demi-Humans have a genetic match rate of 100%, and once trained, they could easily surpass aptitude users. This is why Dawn Research Institute favored using Demi-Humans as weapons over aptitude users.

After dispatching her opponent with ease, Nana turned around boredly and locked eyes with Shen Cheng standing by the elevator. Her eyes lit up as she waved and called out to Shen Cheng from afar, “Shen Cheng!”

A chill ran up Shen Cheng’s spine, sensing trouble. He was about to turn and leave through the elevator when Nana dashed over and caught his arm, “Shen Cheng, spar with me!”

Shen Cheng tried to pull his arm free, but instead, he felt uneasy from the soft pressure of Nana’s chest on him. He frowned and said, “No sparring!”

“Play with me. Just one match, please?” Nana implored, holding up a finger.

Shen Cheng remained stern, “There are plenty of people in the Bio-Scientific Institute you can spar with!”

Shen Cheng knew he wasn’t a match for Nana before and was even less likely to win now. A spar? It would be a beating!

“They either refuse to spar or are too weak, not even enough for a warm-up!” Nana insisted.

The man who had just barely stood up staggered at her words and nearly fell to the ground again.

Shen Cheng thought, “…”

Hey, we’re colleagues. Do you have to be so harsh?

Nana pestered Shen Cheng for a while, but he resolutely refused, leaving Nana sitting on the floor, puffing her cheeks in frustration.

Nana’s mood changed quickly. Soon, she sprang from the ground and enthusiastically patted Shen Cheng’s shoulder, “Shen Cheng, it’s time for dinner! Let’s go to the canteen together?”

“Canteen?” Shen Cheng felt like Nana’s heavy pats almost shattered his shoulder. After his mouth twitched momentarily, he asked, “Will I see Milk Tea there?”

Shen Cheng hadn’t forgotten another important mission for this visit to the Bio-Scientific Institute—bringing Milk Tea home.

Nana nodded repeatedly, “Of course, Milk Tea usually has already started eating by this time. Let’s go quickly!”
