Chapter 549 Asking Price
The male guest enters the cafe and briefly attracts the attention of other guests.

In this kind of public place where fish and dragons are mixed, no one will always pay attention to a stranger, whether it is out of politeness or not wanting to cause trouble, but this man feels strange, and when he talked to the waiter just now, he used Japanese and He speaks English with an accent, so everyone is a little more curious about him, especially when he sits in front of Catherine. A beautiful western girl like Catherine is definitely not related to this oriental man, and the age difference is also relatively large. , at night when middle school students should have gone home to rest, meeting this man in this kind of coffee shop, coupled with this man's presumptuous attitude, will inevitably make the onlookers have ambiguous reverie, words such as **** are almost Open your mouth and come.

After the man sat down, he has been scanning Catherine up and down with extremely aggressive eyes. Catherine has already had enough tolerance for similar gazes. The sight that practically stripped her naked was a little more relaxed.

However, she keenly felt that his eyesight was fundamentally different from those of South Asian men. There was not much eroticism in his eyesight, but it was as if... he was looking at an animal for a price. Gu’s sight—that’s right, it’s like picking a cattle at the market that is going to be brought home for plowing or breeding, and observing its size, coat color and teeth.

"There's someone here." She said coldly.

"I'm the one you're waiting for." The man pointed to himself and said in English with a strong accent.

"you?"

Catherine didn't believe it, because it was obviously a female voice on the phone.

"Don't be surprised. I used a voice changer on the phone. People in our line of business must have a little more thoughtfulness." He laughed.

Then he reported the phone number, which was the one Catherine called yesterday.

Catherine's doubts were somewhat dispelled, but she still maintained a high level of vigilance. She had never experienced such a thing, and she could not be overly careful.

"Look, as soon as I received your call, I immediately booked a ticket for the next flight and rushed over, aren't you very sincere?" He took out an international ticket from the pocket of his windbreaker and waved it in front of her eyes.

Catherine will not be moved by this, she thinks that he is so courteous only for money, she reminds herself not to be too eager, otherwise it is easy to be extorted by the other party.

"Forget about the nonsense, let's talk about what you can provide first." She asked coldly, and at the same time continued to test, never taking the initiative to say the word "cloning" first.

"Oh!" He scratched his head as if it was troublesome, snapped his fingers, and greeted the waiter, "A cup of black coffee."

When the waiter brought the coffee, he took a sip while it was hot, and his face immediately wrinkled into a bitter gourd, "Hey! Are you kidding? I thought only maid cafes would use this kind of instant garbage to fool nerds, but I didn't expect such coffee The hall is doing the same?"

He was right about this. The coffee in this store is really not flattering. I don't know why the business is still so popular.

He pushed the coffee aside, wiped his mouth casually, leaned over to close the distance with Catherine, and stared at her, "What can I provide? Of course it is what you need, otherwise why would you call me? Let's Simply put, what do you want to clone? Or... who?"

Catherine's complexion changed slightly. From such a close distance, she saw his eyes were bloodshot and his mouth smelled of alcohol, like an excited beast.

She glanced around subconsciously. It was getting late at night, and it was not far from closing time. The other customers basically had no entry, and the number was slowly decreasing.

"How's your level?" she asked rhetorically.

"You don't have to worry about this, it doesn't matter what you want to clone, so... why don't you tell me what you want to clone? The puppy who ran out of the house and was hit by a car? Or the boyfriend who committed suicide and jumped into the sea?" He laughed frivolously. .

She whispered cautiously, "A woman."

"Women? Well, it doesn't matter if it's male or female, but I'm definitely better at cloning women, especially... women like you." He stared at her and licked his lips.

Catherine was completely unmoved by his frivolous words, "What about the price?"

"No no! You got the process wrong! It's not time to talk about the price yet!" He shook his head heavily and tapped his finger on the table, "Let's talk about the materials first, if you want to clone something, you must have the gene of that thing , you know this, right?"

Catherine nodded, took out a small box from her pocket, looked around again, and opened it in front of him.

The man's eyes fell on the small box, and he frowned for the first time since entering the door, looked at her suspiciously, and chuckled, "You mean a person? Do you think I'm a fool? Dear lady, human teeth are not like this Yes!"

There is a tooth lying quietly in the small box, but this tooth is thin and long, it is obviously impossible to be a human tooth, especially the position of the tip of the tooth, and there is a small hole, which seems to be used for snakes To deliver the venom...fangs.

This was what Catherine had dug up the night before, a fang.

She had heard Jiang Chanji and the others talk about Mei Yibai before, but at that time she just listened casually and didn't take it too seriously. Not long ago, she heard more details when Jiang Chanji talked with Lu Weijing. This time, she paid special attention to her because of her concern for her sister's condition.

Maybe this is the so-called unintentional speaker and intentional listener. Jiang Chanji described in detail the tragedy of Mei Yibai's ability to lose control before she died. He said that the half-human, half-snake had an unprecedented shocking fact before her death—— —Due to the extremely severe rejection reaction, the snake skin and muscle she transplanted to herself began to separate from her body, and the fangs she transplanted to herself also fell out of her mouth.

After listening to it, Catherine was extremely impressed, and has been pondering and restoring this scene in her mind ever since.

The night before yesterday, she heard Jiang Chanji and the others describe the situation on the first day of searching for the Cryptomonkey, especially when No. 15 suggested cloning the dead dog to deal with the Cryptomonkey, her mind was like a plan. After a thunderbolt from the blue sky, I immediately understood what I was going to do.

There is not much difference in technical difficulty between dog cloning and human cloning. If ninjas can clone super dogs, maybe other people have secretly tried cloning humans, or even superhumans.

As Catherine has repeatedly emphasized to No. 33 and Jiang Chanji, these nuns do not reject science. They have received scientific education. Although they are not profound, they at least understand science better than ordinary people, so she has also heard a little about cloning. Knowing that if you want to clone a certain animal, you must first obtain the gene of this animal, which is the prerequisite for all follow-up.

But here comes the problem. It is said that after Mei Yibai's death, Hongye College decided to cremate her because no one claimed her body, and her death was too horrific. It is not possible to extract genes.

She thought over and over again, recalling Jiang Chanji's description. Mei Yibai's fangs fell out of his mouth before he died. It was in the wild on the mountain at that time, and it was said that it was still snowing at that time. The people who collected the body from Hongye College might not have noticed To the snow buried a tooth.

The genes in teeth and bones can be preserved for a long time. Some archaeological news can often be seen on TV and the Internet, saying that genes are extracted from the corpse of a certain ancient tomb, and then compared horizontally or vertically to confirm that the owner of the ancient tomb is Anyone—genes can be extracted from bones thousands of years ago. Although there is a factor of poor air flow in ancient tombs, there is a high possibility that effective genes are preserved in teeth that have been less than a year old Bar?
Having said that, she didn't know where Mei Yibai died, but she only remembered that Jiang Chanji mentioned a substation in the high place behind the mansion, so she went out the night before to buy a shovel and went to Beishan with the idea of ​​trying it out.

It might be an auspicious sign. She didn't have much hope, but she found a small place where there was no grass in the grass near the substation, which seemed very suspicious.

She thought for a while, and suddenly realized that it was because of the venom and poisonous blood in Mei Yibai's body that no grass could grow here, so this must be the place where Mei Yibai died.

Since it was only less than a year later, if the tooth is still here, it must have been mixed into the mud and buried under the shallow floating soil after the winter snow melted.

So she used a shovel to dig up the floating soil, smashed the clods, and searched carefully.

The hard work paid off, and she didn't search for too long before she found what looked like a tooth in the dirt. After picking it up and cleaning it, it turned out to be a long and curved fang.

Although it is a fang of a cobra, it has been implanted in Mei Yibai's mouth for a long time after all, and the remaining genes in it are likely to belong to Mei Yibai's genes, not snake genes.

After taking the first step, driven by inertia, she took the second step, looking for someone who could clone Mei Yibai for her.

During the past two days, fierce ideological struggles have been going on in her mind all the time, and there is always a voice urging her to give up, not to do this kind of... things that may cause anger and resentment, and what's more, this kind of behavior It is undoubtedly challenging the authority of the Creator!
She persuaded herself that it was just a try, and she might not find a secret doctor who would risk the world to clone human beings at all, so she had to give up if she didn't want to, and it was a novel experience.

She can't reveal her secrets. If she wants to find such a secret doctor, she can't go through the ninja channel, so she can only go through the underground black market alliance, so she contacted Ouyang Caiyue, and she made up a few excuses to deal with the latter. Unexpectedly The latter didn't ask much at all, and directly took her to the black market bar and brought her in.

In fact, Ouyang Caiyue knew it well. Since Catherine gave up the channels of Hongye Academy and Ninja Academy to ask her for help in private, it must be a secret that is not suitable for public disclosure. An introduction is a piece of cake, and you can also get a favor by the way, so why not do it?
Catherine closed the box, "You don't have to worry about whether this tooth is human or not, I just tell you that human genes can be extracted from this tooth, isn't that enough?"

The man frowned even deeper, restrained his previous frivolous and impetuous demeanor, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that the person you want to clone is a transcendent?"

Catherine tried her best to suppress the expression on her face, and asked calmly, "Is it possible or not? Or do you have to increase the price if you are an extraordinary person?"

"Hehe~haha!" The man clapped his palms and laughed, not caring at all the disgusting looks from other customers, "You really found the right person! Let me tell you this, I am the only one who can clone you for you. An extraordinary person! What I'm talking about is not just simply cloning her 'person', even her abilities can be copied with confidence!"

Catherine raised her eyebrows in shock, this man actually answered her most uncertain question in one word!

A rare frenzy appeared on his face, and he eagerly approached her, "So, is the person you want to clone strong or not? Tell you, I'm not interested in weak people, and cloning extraordinary people is very troublesome." , Don't waste my time with the weak!"

"This..." She leaned back as far as she could, keeping her away from his face, "It should be pretty strong..."

"What is it? What is her level? Preferably Lv.8 and above, Lv.7 is also acceptable, don't waste my time if it is lower! What type of ability is she? Combat type Or is it auxiliary?"

Catherine was not sure about Mei Yibai's level, she shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, maybe it's Lv.7, and the ability should be considered auxiliary."

"Auxiliary type of Lv.7..." He rubbed his chin and pondered.

"How? Can you do it?" Catherine asked.

"To tell you the truth, if it is a combat type of Lv.8 and above, I can help you clone it for free, but Lv.7 is an auxiliary type, and you are not even sure, so..." He elongated his voice.

"I don't need you to pay for nothing. Just tell me how much you want. If I can afford it, I'm willing to pay according to the bill." Catherine shook her head. I'll pay in full right away."

"Money? Hehe, money is a good thing, but it's of little use to me." He laughed hoarsely, "There are many things in the world that money can't buy, aren't there?"

Catherine didn't answer.

He looked at her face again, "If I'm not mistaken, you should also be a Transcendent, right?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not? Is this related to my request?" Catherine asked back.

"Of course it matters. If you are also an extraordinary person, if you happen to be very strong, then things will be easy to handle... I don't need money, just use 'you' to pay for it!" He smiled meaningfully , "Ah! Don't look at me with this kind of gaze, I am not the kind of person you imagined, I am not asking you to use your body to pay, but... to use your genes to pay, how?"
