Chapter 144: How Could One Be Bewitched by Mere Blossoms?

At the Materials Research Park, with so many researchers and such substantial daily expenditures on research funding, there were indeed tangible results. Beyond the steadily accumulating experimental data, there would occasionally be one or two small patents granted.

Fortunately, when Lu Yu initially applied for the base gene editing technology, he had Liu Shichang establish a dedicated patent application department.

This department was not only responsible for filing various patent applications but also for licensing them to other companies or institutions.

Up to this point—

In the blink of an eye, the man had thrust his spear twelve times in succession. Ye’s Shadow Tiger Blade moved like a flash, matching each of the twelve strikes perfectly. On the last thrust aimed at Ye’s abdomen, Ye caught the blade, but suddenly the man increased his force, lifting Ye up with a sharp flick.

Of course, Yang Fan wasn’t entirely comfortable with his attire, but it undeniably accentuated his physique and bearing to perfection.

If he truly wanted to kill me, there would have been many chances. Yet the Crime Consultant chose not to do so, opting instead for a more dramatic approach. But Jiang Heming understood that one day, he would meet the Crime Consultant again and personally lock him away in a prison cell.

“How about it, Brother Xuan? Isn’t my charm irresistible?” Si Qiyu said proudly.

“I know you’re charming, but if you keep flaunting it like that, I think our attendance at the comic convention today might be ruined,” Yu Chuxuan replied.

The appearance of these binding forces made every step agonizingly difficult for her, and her magical energy was gradually draining away.

An ordinary person can memorize the content of one page in a minute, while a genius can memorize two pages in the same time. When both strive equally hard, who is stronger?

The mysterious Black Feather Clan members were formidable as well. A pair of wings unfurled behind them, swirling with black mist, immediately blocking Yang Fan’s attack.

At this moment, the Level 3 hatred creature was increasingly entangled in the net, its movements growing more and more restricted. The hunters’ spears had already inflicted severe damage. Seeing the mission nearing completion, several hunters breathed a sigh of relief and naturally relaxed their guard slightly.

As the word "Victory" popped up on the screen, Wang Xiao Pang let out a unified roar. This win felt incredibly satisfying—akin to the joy of a fierce battle where both sides were evenly matched, exchanging blows for hundreds of rounds before finally clinching victory.
