Two hours later, Chen Haoxuan got into a fight again with Lin Hao and his group. Lin Hao's team kept using dirty tricks, setting traps, throwing sand in Chen Haoxuan's eyes, and wielding large pieces of wood as weapons. The hundred or so people fighting made a lot of noise, with shouts and cries echoing continuously.
Chen Haoxuan fought until it was dark. After all, he wasn't invincible. He was impressive, and Lin Hao's group couldn't defeat him, but Chen Haoxuan was also battered and bruised, his shirt torn, his face swollen, and he was panting heavily from exhaustion.
Lin Hao's group fared worse. When Chen Haoxuan called for a stop, they seemed to suddenly lose all their strength and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. They had fought for so long that if it weren't for their strong willpower, they would have collapsed earlier. Now that Chen Haoxuan called for a halt, their resolve shattered.
Ignoring Lin Hao and his team, Chen Haoxuan threw off his jacket and jumped into a stream to wash up before slowly heading home. By the time he returned home, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Chen Yina and the others had been waiting at the dining table for him to come back for dinner. When they saw Chen Haoxuan's bruised face and bare torso, they couldn't help but complain about how serious he was about the fight.
It had been a long time since they had dined together, so they had prepared a lavish dinner that morning. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Chen Haoxuan sat down at the table to enjoy the delicious dishes that Chen Yina and the others had carefully prepared for him.
While eating, Jiang Xianghan asked Chen Haoxuan a question that everyone wanted to know: "Haoxuan, you’ve gotten so much stronger and taller; other parts of you must have grown too, right?"
Chen Haoxuan was taken aback at first but then smiled wryly and said, "I haven't checked." He really hadn't looked; he went straight from the research institute to fight with Lin Hao's group. While washing up, he hurried because he didn't want Chen Yina and the others to wait too long—there was no time to check on himself! However, although Chen Haoxuan hadn't looked yet, he dared to guess that he had indeed grown quite a bit.
Jiang Xianghan wasn't actually concerned about that aspect growing; she worried that if Chen Haoxuan continued his research like this, something might go wrong. Just like today—he had grown so tall in just a couple of months. If he kept growing taller, they would need to stand on stools just to kiss him. "Haoxuan, please don’t experiment on yourself anymore. If you must do experiments, do them on animals instead; otherwise something bad might happen! What are we sisters supposed to do then?" Jiang Xianghan said seriously.
"Don't worry; I'm immune to all poisons. No poison works on me. The reason my body has grown so tall is that I've been researching a gene that can make people stronger. There might have been some mistake somewhere that caused my height increase. Rest assured; if I can make myself taller, I can also make myself shorter," Chen Haoxuan replied confidently.
"Brother Xuan, no matter how amazing you are, please be careful for our sake," Chen Yina pleaded with teary eyes.
Chen Haoxuan nodded in response: "Yes, I will be more careful from now on." He understood their concerns; if it weren't for his special constitution, he wouldn't dare experiment on himself.
"Haoxuan, are you going to continue your research?" Zhou Kexin asked reluctantly.
"Yes, this is my dream. No matter what happens, I will persist. I hope you can understand me. Also, I promise that once I develop this gene that can enhance strength, I will stop all research and spend my life with you," Chen Haoxuan said earnestly to Chen Yina and the others.
"Really?" Chen Yina's eyes were filled with joy as they imagined how romantic and happy their future would be.
"Yes, it's true," Chen Haoxuan replied.
Having many people around made it lively, especially when so many beloved women were dining together. The happiness made Chen Haoxuan want to abandon his dreams. Chen Yina and the others kept serving him dishes, chattering away, asking him if this was delicious or how that was.
That night, Chen Haoxuan did not sleep with Chen Yina and the others. He wanted to, but he didn't dare, worried that some medication might still be in his system. Looking at the alluring figures of Chen Yina and the others stirred something within him. To suppress this urge, he retreated to the laboratory, dedicating himself to researching Gene Warrior.
Chen Haoxuan had never paid much attention to his height before; now he was concerned about his body. If it weren't for Lin Hao and the others discovering it when he went out, he wouldn't have even realized he had grown taller! From then on, Chen Haoxuan would measure his height and weight regularly. Ten days later, he experimented with a White Mouse, which had grown from the size of a ping-pong ball to that of a fist, and its strength had increased significantly—so much so that an ordinary person would find it difficult to hold on to it.
Chen Haoxuan found it strange; while increased strength was normal, how could it grow larger? This was unacceptable. If all the Gene Warriors he researched ended up being very tall and large, would they still be considered human? It could only be said they were a new race. However, while they might be powerful, living alongside humans would be impossible.
Putting aside other concerns, Chen Haoxuan focused on extracting information from the Gene Warrior data and conducting experiments on the now fist-sized White Mouse. Several times, the White Mouse nearly died, but Chen Haoxuan exerted all his effort to save it, consuming a Centennial Ginseng in the process. Spending all day experimenting on the White Mouse made him feel a bit guilty, so he ensured to feed it plenty of meat during meals.
Perhaps because only Chen Haoxuan and the White Mouse were in the lab, and since he treated the White Mouse exceptionally well aside from conducting experiments on it, whenever Chen Yina and the others prepared delicacies for him, he would share some with the White Mouse. Eventually, the White Mouse became very affectionate towards Chen Haoxuan; whenever he opened its cage, it would quickly climb onto his shoulder and continuously lick his cheek with its tongue.
Whenever Chen Haoxuan extended his palm towards the White Mouse, it would obediently run onto his hand. This made him reluctant to continue experimenting on it because it was just too cute—fist-sized and round, resembling a pink ball from a distance.
Chen Haoxuan continued experimenting on the White Mouse and discovered that it no longer grew larger. This relieved him significantly; as long as it didn't become too big, he could use it after all—there were still many people around two meters tall in the world.
A month later in Chen Haoxuan's laboratory, he was happily teaching a fist-sized White Mouse how to play a game: "Qiuqiu, throw this little ball into that hoop." He pointed at a miniature basketball hoop while addressing the plump White Mouse.
The little White Mouse fixed its small eyes on Chen Haoxuan. Upon hearing his command, it chirped excitedly before picking up a red ball and standing up on its hind legs, sprinting forward with all its might. This was the same White Mouse that Chen Haoxuan had been studying; he named it Qiuqiu because it looked like a ball.
With a loud bang, Qiuqiu failed to throw the ball into the hoop and instead knocked over the basketball stand, tumbling down like a ball and rolling quite a distance.
Seeing how adorable Qiuqiu was, Chen Haoxuan couldn't help but chuckle. He took out a piece of Beef Jerky and said to Qiuqiu, "Qiuqiu, here you go. This Beef Jerky is your reward. You need to keep trying! Make sure to get it in next time, okay?" Chen Haoxuan didn't care whether Qiuqiu could understand him; he was testing Qiuqiu's intelligence, so he kept talking to Qiuqiu, hoping that over time, Qiuqiu would learn to understand his words.
"Chirp chirp..." When Qiuqiu saw the Beef Jerky in Chen Haoxuan's hand, its eyes lit up. It rolled and crawled towards Chen Haoxuan's hand, sitting on it and grabbing the Beef Jerky with its front paws, gnawing at it eagerly while occasionally glancing at Chen Haoxuan and making chirping sounds, as if saying, "Delicious, delicious..."
Chen Haoxuan realized that Qiuqiu was already smarter than an average White Mouse, possibly due to the Gene Warrior factor. If that were true, then he would never lack talent because he had the Gene Warrior to turn people into geniuses. However, he couldn't be certain yet; he needed to conduct real research on the Gene Warrior first.
Seeing that Qiuqiu was fine, Chen Haoxuan began experimenting on himself. He felt no discomfort; in fact, after the experiment, his energy levels doubled. Even after only a few hours of sleep each day, he felt fully refreshed.
From then on, after completing his research each day, Chen Haoxuan would play with Qiuqiu. Qiuqiu's intelligence increased daily; from throwing a ball into a hoop to playing hide-and-seek with Chen Haoxuan, it could now even play Gomoku with him. According to Chen Haoxuan's assessment, Qiuqiu now had the intelligence of a three-year-old child. If it had reached this level in just over a month, what would happen in a year? It might become extraordinary!
One day, Chen Haoxuan took Qiuqiu to the rooftop to bask in the sun. When he went outside, Chen Yina and her friends were unaware because they weren't home; however, Jiang Dong knew. When Chen Yina and her friends returned, Jiang Dong shared this good news with them, and they joyfully ran up to the rooftop.
When they saw Qiuqiu sleeping on Chen Haoxuan's chest, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This White Mouse was too cute—round and chubby—making it hard for them not to want to pet it.
"Haoxuan, Haoxuan, is this a White Mouse? Why is it bigger than an ordinary White Mouse? It's so adorable! Does it bite? I really want to hold it," Zhou Kexin said eagerly to Chen Haoxuan.
