A blonde OL walked ahead, her figure alluring, curving in an S-shape as her hips swayed provocatively. It was quite enticing.
Feng Lin, however, kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, unmoved.
In the virtual world, one could freely adjust facial features and appearances; all sorts of bizarre beings existed.
No matter how tempting this OL looked, in the real world, she might be a battle-hardened matron who could punch black bears and shoulder giant trees.
So, you get the idea...
As the two descended from the starry sky, they drew closer to the virtual planet occupied by Giant Pharmaceuticals.
The clouds parted, forming a staircase of clouds that descended slowly.
Feng Lin wasn't surprised; anything was possible in the virtual universe.
After all, humans were the creators of the virtual universe—if they could imagine it, they could achieve it.
Walking down the cloud staircase, a thunderstorm cloud appeared ahead, crackling with lightning and roaring with thunder, terrifying to behold.
The next moment, the thundercloud eerily split apart, revealing a highly technological room where five figures of varying appearances sat.
"Are you the intern, Feng Lin?" A pair of scrutinizing eyes looked over, and seated in the middle was a middle-aged man with a smile.
These five interviewers didn't hide their faces; they ranged from old to young, but without exception, they were all white.
Moreover, their bloodlines were pure—all blonde with blue eyes, no mixed-race cases.
Feng Lin found this odd inwardly but still replied, "I am!"
"Good! Your resume shows you're still a high school senior with a vitality level of 3.3—that's impressive! But you claim to be a genetic scholar. We don't mean to doubt you, but you should know that even if you're not a geneticist, a qualified genetic scholar needs extensive knowledge of genetics and mythological theories, which requires long-term accumulation. You're a bit too young..." The lead interviewer didn't hide his skepticism.
Feng Lin nodded, unsurprised.
He had already anticipated this issue.
After all, geneticists were always a high-end profession with steep industry barriers. Being only 17, it was normal to be doubted.
But he had confidence.
An entire notebook of genetic notes was stored in his mind, and combined with his knowledge of mythology, he was absolutely no worse than an average genetic warrior.
Feng Lin thought for a moment and said calmly, "Being young doesn't mean my abilities are lacking. Words are empty; you can ask me anything, and then you'll naturally know my level!"
The five interviewers were slightly taken aback. Seeing his confident demeanor, they exchanged glances and nodded. "Alright, get ready! The interview begins now!"
As for his high school student status, they didn't care.
In the interstellar era, students were intellectually gifted and highly capable, not bookworms. Some geniuses didn't waste time stuck in school and often took part-time jobs.
Feng Lin straightened up slightly, becoming serious.
"Since you're here to interview for an intern genetic warrior, let's start with the origin of geneticists," asked the oldest man on the far left, who had a professorial air.
This was simple.
Having prepared thoroughly for the interview, Feng Lin found this question easy.
Without hesitation, he replied, "Geneticists are experts in the field of genetics. They study mythological genes to uncover the secrets of human origins and understand the essence of supernatural power. Mythological genes are microscopic substances that can act on the macroscopic universe, manipulating incredible forces. Geneticists move from the microscopic to the macroscopic, using mythological genes as a foundation to pursue the ultimate truth..."
The interviewers nodded repeatedly.
Admittedly, this answer wasn't particularly outstanding—it was standard and had no logical flaws.
But if that was all, it clearly wouldn't satisfy them.
The second interviewer on the left was a blonde woman with a high-class face, a cold beauty. She asked a tricky question.
"Our Giant Pharmaceuticals mainly recruits intern genetic scholars to formulate genetic potions as per company requirements. So, tell me, why can't most genetic potions be synthesized by machines and must be manually prepared?"
This question was troublesome to answer.
Feng Lin thought briefly, organizing his words.
"This starts with the theory of spirit particles, also known as supernatural particles. According to supercomputer simulations, during Earth's primordial era, technology was backward, but mythological figures frequently appeared, each possessing the power to move mountains and drain seas, revered as gods. Ancient civilizations and humans on Earth had different mythological legends. But why did mythological figures gradually disappear and eventually vanish entirely? Chinese mythology calls it the Age of Dharma Decline, Norse mythology prophesied Ragnarök, and the Bible and Mayan mythology spoke of doomsday... These apocalyptic tales appear in completely different mythological systems—this is no coincidence. After that, humans lost their supernatural abilities and had no choice but to develop technology. But when humans entered the interstellar age and left the solar system, why did mythological genes awaken, granting supernatural power? Why couldn't this happen during Earth's era? The reason is the lack of spirit particles, fully called spiritual energy particles. According to discoveries at Earth's ruins, these particles existed during the primordial era. Some specially gifted humans could sense spirit particles and gain supernatural power. Later, as spirit particles dwindled, supernatural power faded from the world, gradually becoming the apocalypse in myths. It wasn't until humans ventured into space, found spirit particles on other planets, and mastered them by awakening mythological genes." Feng Lin narrated smoothly, presenting a new theory.
The theory of spirit particles was a supernatural theory parallel to mythological gene theory in this era, but it was too obscure and far less famous, so few knew about it.
Feng Lin had learned it from the genetic notebook.
He paused and continued.
"Whether a potion contains spirit particles is the fundamental difference between genetic potions and ordinary ones. Ordinary potions have fixed ingredients and can be mass-produced mechanically. Genetic potions are different. Their remarkable effects come from the role of spirit particles—active particles that greatly enhance human vitality and unlock genetic potential. Because the movement of spirit particles is unpredictable, the effects of potions cannot be accurately detected by machines. Only humans can personally experience the effects with their five senses and adjust the formulation accordingly. That's why most genetic potions require manual preparation!"
The five interviewers smiled. This answer cut straight to the heart of the issue.
They could sense Feng Lin getting into his stride, answering better and better.
The lead interviewer in the middle asked with a smile, "Can you elaborate on the movement of spirit particles?"
Feng Lin nodded. "Spirit particles are supernatural particles that cannot exist independently; they generally attach to spirit particle matter. Spirit particles have no mass, no physical form, and exhibit wave-particle duality. When spirit particle matter approaches, the particles undergo a unique leap phenomenon, moving randomly between different substances and interacting, creating unpredictable trajectories. This is called spirit particle movement. It's very similar to Brownian motion, so in spirit particle theory, it's also known as spirit-Brownian motion."
