Shen Yanbai tore open the patient gown, and the biological circuits beneath his skin resonated with the silver beads.
"This is the true Su Family Culinary Classic, preserved for a century using my Neural Synapse as a medium."
When the Special Police Team burst through the door, we were inscribing equations on the petri dish with each other's blood.
At the moment Lin Wanyi's Mechanical Prosthesis penetrated Shen Yanbai's chest cavity, I bit my tongue and smeared my blood across his pupils—
The Chenpi Strain developed by my grandfather awakened upon contact with blood, transforming into countless golden specks that devoured the Artificial Intelligence Core.
"Remember..."
Shen Yanbai's bloodied fingers traced circles in my palm, revealing the circumference code of the Jade Spoon.
"Taste memory... hidden in..."
Suddenly, his body underwent Quantumization and dissipated, leaving only the Biological Chip on the operating table, displaying a Countdown: 168 hours—
Precisely the cycle for the Chenpi Strain to completely replace human nerves.
As the Neural Connector's electrodes pierced his Temples, the Countdown showed 71:59:59.
I was immersed in the light blue nutrient solution of the Biological Pod, watching Shen Yanbai's Quantum Data flow above me. Those glowing points were piecing together the nursery rhyme we carved into the Old Cellar when we were seven:
"Chen Pi Bai, Gardenia Xia, hidden codes in the Centennial Cellar..."
"His last five minutes of memory were hijacked."
Lin Wanyi's Mechanical Prosthesis plugged into the control panel, and her Mechanical Eye projected the Quantum Cloud Map.
"Do you want to know what your dear senior brother saw before he passed?"
She suddenly tore away the Artificial Skin, revealing a Barcode on her neck that perfectly matched the Su Family Ancestral Record.
As the Loading Progress Bar in the virtual world stalled at 97%, I suddenly tasted the humidity of Chen Pi Candy. This was a side effect of the Neural Connector developed by Shen Yanbai—all taste data was being reverse infused.
Fragments of the Jade Spoon reassembled in the Consciousness Space, and the tip of the spoon suddenly pierced through the Virtual Barrier, revealing the Blood Memory Field within the Data Flood.
Fifteen-year-old Shen Yanbai was chained to the Experimental Platform.
Grandfather's silver needle pierced through his retina:
"Remember, Zhi Xia is the seventh generation of the perfect instrument."
The intelligent microscope displayed that my brain's neurons were consuming his memory synapses at a rate of 0.7 μm per day.
"This is the truth about adopting you!"
Lin Wanyi suddenly materialized in the data stream, her mechanical spine unfolding into the Su Family Genealogy Tree.
"We are the First Generation Test Subjects..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the Quantum Spoon suddenly elongated, its handle's Engraved Marks from Guangxu Twenty Years fracturing into countless Nano Robots that began to gnaw at her Gene Chain.
When I found Shen Yanbai on the ninth level of the memory maze, he was kneeling in the Virtual Old Cave.
The holographic projection of Grandfather held up a Biological Chip:
"Implant this, and Zhi Xia will inherit the complete taste genes."
Twenty-year-old Shen Yanbai had blood tears streaming from his eyes, clutching the chip that was meant to be implanted in my skull.
"You knew all along..."
The moment I touched his quantum body, the Memory Field began to collapse.
Suddenly, a pattern woven from Chen Pi Mycelium emerged on his chest, forming the Su Family Ancestral Teachings. Those golden Mycelium were arranged in the molecular structure of Ancestral Detox Soup.
Lin Wanyi's Quantum State abruptly intruded, and the Mechanical Arm transformed into Liquid Metal, ensnaring us.
"How touching, but too bad about the Experimental Data..."
She suddenly screamed as the Chen Pi Mycelium bursting from Shen Yanbai's memory core began to invade her core code in reverse.
The Intelligent Alarm blared in the real world: "Gene Reverse Writing detected!"
In the instant the Biological Pod's cover exploded, I grabbed Shen Yanbai's Quantum Data and leaped into the Main Server.
The Jade Spoon grew into a towering pillar in the virtual world, with the Centennial Scale on its handle corresponding to the fracture point of Lin Wanyi's Gene Chain.
