125: Chen Xuantong's request, master-servant contract

Chen Xuantong's knuckles turned white from gripping too hard, and his body trembled violently with excitement. His bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, burning with an almost pathological flame.

"Young Friend Lin! Lin Feng! Mr. Lin! I beg you! I beg you!"

Chen Xuantong's voice was hoarse and trembling, every word squeezed from his lungs, full of desperate pleading.

"Leave one! Leave one Alien in my lab!"

"Just one! Just a normal one will do!"

"Let me study them! Let me study them!"

"They are too perfect!"

"The Extraordinary Potion is my life's work, but it has always had flaws, never perfect. Its ingredients are mixed with too many demon beast genes, and the berserk problem has never been solved!"

"But in your Aliens, I see the hope of neutralizing all demon beast genes, even completely solving the berserk problem, and freely controlling beastification!!!"

"I beg you! Any price! I, Chen Xuantong, can pay any price! All my research achievements! My wealth! My status! You can have anything you want! Just give me one Alien!"

His posture was utterly humble, a stark contrast to his usual dignified image.

The surrounding researchers followed Chen Xuantong, their eyes filled with the same madness as his, all looking at Lin Feng with anticipation. Some were so nervous they had broken their fingers without realizing it.

Lin Feng was also somewhat taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

He hadn't expected Chen Xuantong to stop him not to fight, but for... this?

Looking at Chen Xuantong, who was practically on his knees begging him, with a mix of fanaticism and despair in his eyes, Lin Feng frowned slightly.

He hadn't expected Chen Xuantong's obsession with research, or rather his craving for Aliens, to reach such a 瘋狂 degree.

"Any price?"

Lin Feng's voice carried a hint of playfulness. His gaze swept over Chen Xuantong's face, twisted with excitement, and the many researchers behind him, eagerly awaiting. He then glanced at Chen Feng, who had just steadied himself from the impact of the shattered shield, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty, and a cold arc curved on Lin Feng's lips.

"Alright, I want his life."

He raised his hand, pointing at Chen Feng.

"Ah?!"

Chen Feng had just stabilized himself when he heard Lin Feng's earth-shattering words. He was instantly dumbfounded, his face turning ashen white.

Chen Xuantong was also stunned, his hand gripping Lin Feng's shoulder subconsciously loosening.

He followed Lin Feng's finger and saw his grandson, who was terrified and at a loss.

"Grandpa! Grandpa, save me! Lin Feng! Lin Feng, you're crazy! I..."

Chen Feng was scared out of his wits, screaming incoherently.

However, Chen Xuantong's reaction was beyond everyone's expectation.

He only paused for a moment, and there wasn't even much struggle or hesitation on his face!

He suddenly turned his head and, almost roaring, gave an order to his personal guards, who were also in shock.

"Go! Bring Chen Feng to me!"

"Yes... Yes!"

Although the guard was horrified, he dared not disobey Chen Xuantong's order.

"Grandpa?! No! Grandpa! I'm your grandson! You can't do this! Lin Feng! Lin Feng, I was wrong! It was all my fault before! Please spare me! Spare me!"

Chen Feng completely broke down. He had never expected that his grandfather, who usually doted on him, would actually sacrifice him without hesitation for the sake of studying Aliens!

He cried and begged for mercy, while trying to retreat and escape, but the guard was faster. He rushed to Chen Feng in a few steps, grabbed his shoulder, and dragged him to Lin Feng's front.

"Thump!"

Chen Feng's legs gave out, and he knelt directly at Lin Feng's feet, crying and snotting, pleading bitterly.

"Lin Feng! Brother Lin! Master Lin! I was wrong! I was really wrong! Everything I did before was wrong, I looked down on people! You are a great man, please spare my dog's life! I beg you! My grandpa... he's gone crazy with research! You can't take him seriously! Please..."

Lin Feng looked at Chen Feng, who was kneeling at his feet, disheveled and pleading, and then at Chen Xuantong beside him, whose eyes were burning and who seemed genuinely ready to hand over his own grandson to be slaughtered if Lin Feng just nodded. A hint of absurdity flashed through Lin Feng's mind.

He really hadn't expected Chen Xuantong to be so decisive. This was no longer just a research fanatic; he was a research madman!

"Heh."

Lin Feng scoffed, kicking away Chen Feng, who was clinging to his leg and begging for mercy. His tone was full of disdain.

"Get up. I was just joking with you. Your pathetic life, Chen Feng, isn't worth me losing an Alien."

Chen Feng felt as if he had been granted a great pardon, his body limp, as if he had just crawled back from the gates of hell. His eyes towards Lin Feng were filled with fear and the relief of surviving a disaster, but when he looked at his grandfather, there was only deep sorrow and a hint of resentment.

When Chen Xuantong heard Lin Feng's words, the fanatical flush on his face instantly faded, replaced by an extremely ugly ashen color.

He stared intently at Lin Feng, his lips trembling.

No matter how useless Chen Feng was, he was still his own grandson!

He was the bloodline of his Chen family!

Yet, in Lin Feng's eyes, he was not even as good as his lowest-grade pet?

This naked contempt and insult was like a knife plunged deeply into his heart!

But he didn't speak. Instead, his peripheral vision swept across the center of the testing ground.

There, the Lie Kong Blade Wing Alien gracefully flapped its bone wings, easily cutting through the lingering spatial ripples.

Under the feet of the Abyssal Poison Earth-Rending Alien, a dark purple toxic swamp was still "hissing" as it corroded the alloy ground.

That powerful, perfect, and infinitely mysterious power of rules, like the most deadly poppy, instantly extinguished all his dissatisfaction, leaving only a stronger, almost soul-burning desire for research!

He couldn't erupt!

Absolutely not!

After witnessing 146 Aliens perfectly evolve without any side effects, especially with two of them directly entering the Transcendent-level realm, Chen Xuantong was deeply captivated by these creatures!

It was an ultimate temptation that transcended kinship, transcended personal honor and disgrace!

If he couldn't personally study them, he felt he would go mad immediately!

He had to get one!

At all costs!

Chen Xuantong forcibly suppressed the surging anger and humiliation, his facial muscles contorted, struggling to force out a smile uglier than a cry, his voice dry and hoarse.

"Mr. Lin... you're joking."

"Then... what do you want? Anything I, Chen Xuantong, have, anything the research institute can provide, just name it!"

"I only ask for... only ask for one ordinary Alien!"

Lin Feng looked at Chen Xuantong, who was enduring humiliation yet forced to humble himself, and sneered in his heart.

He naturally understood Chen Xuantong's struggle and craving at this moment.

He surveyed the messy testing ground, his gaze sweeping over the eager researchers and dumbfounded guards, finally settling on Chen Xuantong's face.

"I want you."

Lin Feng's voice was not loud, but it clearly entered everyone's ears, like a clap of thunder!

"Wh-what?"

Chen Xuantong thought he had misheard.

"I said, I want you."

Lin Feng repeated, his tone flat but carrying undeniable power.

"As long as you sign a master-servant contract with me and become my servant, then, except for the Alien Queen, all other Aliens, including the two Transcendent-level ones, you can study freely."

"Of course, the premise is at the time and place I allow."
