Gene editing?

What?

Chen Mu said: "System, gene editing, what is it?"

"Gene editing allows you to edit the genes of living things. After editing, you can use gluttony evolution to obtain these genes." The system slowly explained in its unique mechanical voice without any emotion.

Um…….

Although Chen Mu was not stupid, he did not understand the extremely abstract explanation of the system at all.

Chen Mu said: "Can you explain it in a little more detail?"

The system was silent for a while.

It went on to explain: "To be specific, you can directly edit part of the genes of a certain organism, just like turning the organism into paper. You can cut out part of the structure of the organism."

Chen Mu's heart moved.

He got it.

In other words, for example, Chen Mu previously wanted genes for the huge size of blue whales and flight genes for birds.

It was just that at that time, Chen Mu could only use Gluttony Evolution to gamble like a bet on luck, and then he bet on a giant bird like Dapeng.

And now this gene editing, that is to say, allows Chen Mu to break down the genes of living things, and then select the genes through gene editing, and then use those edited genes to combine with his own body, and then he can carry out new evolution. What?

"Warm reminder, when gene editing is used, it must be combined with the original genes to be successful. Otherwise, it can only be edited but not fused." came the mechanical voice of the system.

Hearing this voice, the corner of Chen Mu's mouth twitched.

This reminder is not warm at all.

In other words, I can only use snakes to fuse the edited genes.

It would be too cold to turn into a snake now.

Chen Mu didn't want to feel the cold.

In any case, let’s talk about body size genes first.

Although it was night, it did not affect Chen Mu.

Let’s do it first and then talk about it.

Thinking about it, Chen Mu opened his consciousness and glanced at the dense forest.

Soon, Chen Mu saw a cricket chirping happily.

Saw that cricket.

Chen Mu's body glowed with golden light, and his size grew larger in an instant.

Transformed into a huge phoenix.

He uses Mastery on the cricket, then uses Share and Transform.

The tiny cricket glowed with golden light in the blink of an eye, and its size also grew. In an instant, its entire body turned into a huge phoenix.

As soon as the phoenix appeared, the trees around it were directly squeezed away by the huge body. With bursts of loud noises, swaths of trees fell down.

"Crying..." The birds that were resting in the trees were so frightened that they screamed and flew away.

Chen Mu flapped his wings and flew in the air, looking at the phoenix below that was controlled by his control ability.

He also slowly flapped his wings and landed.

"Gene editing." Chen Mu used his gene editing ability on the phoenix in front of him.

"Start gene editing. The target has been selected. What genes need to be programmed?" The system's mechanical voice sounded in Chen Mu's ears.

Hearing this voice, Chen Mu was slightly startled: "With this ability, do I need your help?"

He never expected that the system would come out.

"If you don't need my help, I can let you operate it." The system's voice is emotionless and robotic, just like the smart voice in the car.

Chen Mu said: "Well... let me try it myself first." He wanted to see if he could master this ability. If he could operate it by himself without the need for this system, that would naturally be the best.

Along with Chen Mu's voice fell.

A huge screen appeared in front of Chen Mu.

One word after another appeared on the screen, and these words were densely packed.

This screen is huge, estimated to be five meters wide and six meters high. The text is normal size, the size humans use when writing.

However, even with such small text, these words are still densely packed, filling the huge screen.

Chen Mu was stunned for a moment.

Because he couldn't understand some of these terms at all.

Upon seeing it, Chen Mu felt his head go numb.

How can gene editing be so easy to master?

Chen Mu said: "Well, the system, this ability, I think I need your help."

"Start gene editing. The target has been selected. What genes need to be programmed?" The system's emotionless voice sounded.

The screen in front of Chen Mu disappeared.

Hear this.

Chen Mu stared at the phoenix in front of him and said, "I need genes about its size."

"Editing."

Genes related to body size genes are growth genes and pre-growth genes.

The reason why the blue whale can grow so huge is because the blue whale lacks pre-programmed growth genes, so it can grow wildly.

However, in order to adapt to the environment, blue whales will grow slowly after a period of time.

Also lacking in prefabricated genes is the liger we are familiar with. Similarly, its size has also become very large.

A golden transparent bead appeared in front of Chen Mu.

"Edited successfully."

Chen Mu looked at the bead in front of him, which was the size of an adult's thumb.

Is this thing the body shape gene?

Chen Mu's eyes fell on the phoenix in front of him.

Chen Mu is a snake, can he add wings to the snake?

Don't worry about it for now, let's get the gene fragment down first.

Chen Mu said: "I need the target's wing gene."

"Editing."

Another bead appeared in front of Chen Mu.

Claws are not bad either, claws are weapons that can add weapons to snakes.

"Give me a claw gene."

"Editing."

Another bead appeared.

Chen Mu was thinking.

What about the bird's beak? The bird's beak is definitely not as useful as snake teeth and snake venom, no.

What about feathers? Snakes have feathers..., too much, and snakes have scales, which have much stronger defense than feathers, no.

"Okay, let's do this first."

"Editing completed."

As the voice fell.

The phoenix in front of Chen Mu turned into golden light and slowly dissipated.

Seeing this, Chen Mu was slightly startled.

"In other words, will the target die after being edited?"

In other words, his ability cannot be used on himself, using it is equivalent to suicide.

Chen Mu raised his head and looked at the dark sky.

Next, when it gets light and it's not so cold anymore, I can turn into a snake and use gluttony evolution to devour these beads and evolve.

"Wait a minute..." Chen Mu frowned: "Why don't I just turn the snake from a cold-blooded animal into a warm-blooded animal? Isn't it enough to get a warm-blooded gene?"

With the ability to edit genes, he forgot about it in excitement.

Forget it, it's still in time to edit now.

Chen Mu once again found a creature, used the ability to change it into a griffin, and then wrote a warm-blooded gene.

After that, he turned back into a snake.

Four beads emitting golden halos floated in front of Chen Mu's eyes.

He opened his mouth and swallowed the beads one by one.

"Gluttony evolution." In an instant, Chen Mu's body was wrapped in golden light.
