Low Dimensional Game

Chapter 49: Mermaids

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Because of how useful the biological chambers were, Lu Zhiyu returned to Earth to order more components. After four days, the materials finally arrived. He took them back to Maria’s World and finished assembling them.

Lu Zhiyu’s laboratory changed significantly again. The room was now filled with standing biological chambers, various medical equipment, drawings of genetic templates, and a freezing chamber filled with many labelled genetic samples. It really looked like the kind of laboratory only an alien would have!

Lu Zhiyu put Sakun’s deified body in one of the smaller biological chambers. He had forbidden the ant-people from approaching the particular biological chamber. Even though it had lost its consciousness and only the instincts of its physical body remained, it was still very dangerous.

On the other hand, in another larger chamber was a more beautiful creature. It was the result of his experiments for the past few days. Inside the biological chamber, there was a beautiful woman with long, sky-blue hair that fell down to her waist. From the waist down, she had a slender fish tail which was two meters long.

She was as charming as a fairy, and her facial features were delicate and pure. Her eyelashes trembled as if she was about to open her eyes at any moment. She was a mermaid. Below her cheeks were two tattoo-like blue lines. They were the gills that would allow her to survive underwater.

“Indeed! As long as an organism doesn’t resist the will of the deified creature, it would be assimilated!”

Sakun had dispersed its cells all over the ocean. As he wandered about, his deified cells had caused countless sea creatures to explode, until finally the Children of the Sea were created. After some experiments, Lu Zhiyu confirmed his hypothesis.

Lu Zhiyu used a human template and added fish genes onto it, after which he mixed in some of Sakun’s blood. This was the first spawn of a mythical creature that he had created. In some sense, the mermaid in the biological chamber could be considered as a deity, a descendant of a god-like creature, although from Lu Zhiyu’s point of view, it was a bit low to be a deity as Sakun’s descendant and not classy at all. Nevertheless, even though Sakun was not the coolest of mythical creatures, it was still a real god-like being to a normal person!

In any case, the mermaid was truly an extraordinary life. It could be considered as the first extraordinary intelligent being.

Lu Zhiyu walked one round around the mermaid, inspecting it carefully. Then, he nodded in satisfaction with the perfect life template that he had created. “I do have some artistic cells in me. With them around, this world will finally have some taste of magic. It’s so ugly to only fight with swords in close-range combats!”

Suddenly, the mermaid submerged in the nutrient fluid in the biological chamber opened her eyes and stared right at Lu Zhiyu, who was startled by her sudden movement. “What’s happening? Didn’t I inject a sedative... Oh right! She has just received Sakun’s blood and sedatives are clearly no longer effective.”

The mermaid who had just woken up still had a lot of tubes attached to her. She had opened her intelligent eyes and stared at the world around her curiously. She was like a newborn baby, observing the world outside as well as Lu Zhiyu.

Waah!

She started crying in the biological chamber like a baby. She pressed her hands against the glass wall and stared at Lu Zhiyu with her huge eyes. This caused Lu Zhiyu to feel somehow uncomfortable!

Lu Zhiyu and the mermaid stared at each other and he actually did not know what to do. This was the first time he made eye contact with an intelligent lifeform in a biological chamber, and he felt very awkward!

Lu Zhiyu activated his dream space and waved his hand gently. The mermaid slowly lowered her eyelids under his influence and fell back asleep. Then, he moved on to create around a dozen more mermaids. Lu Zhiyu only stopped after the process had used up about half of Sakun’s deified cells.

The mermaids were born and would grow up completely in the biological chambers. Lu Zhiyu only had to provide them with enough nutrient fluid for them to grow from infancy all the way to maturity.

In particular, after he injected Sakun’s blood into them, he used his dream space to guide them so that their instincts would not resist the invading cells. The deified cells were able to catalyze their growth, allowing these mermaids to grow from babies into adults in a few days!

Soon, around a dozen sleeping mermaids with tubes attached to them floated in the cold biological chambers in the laboratory. The whole room seemed to be filled with evilness. In addition, Lu Zhiyu who was wearing a white coat looked like a doctor in stories who was doing some evil research!

“I thought I’d be a good guy,” he said, amused by his own thoughts.

He walked in front of every mermaid, checking their body conditions and health statuses. He paid close attention to how well the deified cells were assimilating into these mermaids, making sure that there were no signs of any resistance or backfiring.

“Specimen number two, deified cell assimilation rate at 42%. Her ability should be control of fire.”

“...”

“Specimen number five, deified cell assimilation rate at 37%. Her ability should be charming sound waves!”

The mermaids had inherited Sakun’s abilities, but only some of them. It depended on what abilities they had obtained when they were being fused with Sakun’s blood.

Some could control fire, while others could control ice. Some had power over water, or the ability Charm, which was an ability formed from the fusion of Sakun’s mind power and the charming appearances and voices of the mermaids.

Out of all these mermaids, specimen number one showed the highest rate of assimilation, which was over 70%, and was the most powerful. She had most of Sakun’s abilities, especially those that could control temperature, though she was not as powerful as Sakun in terms of the ranges of the abilities.

Sakun could easily evaporate all the water within hundreds of meters, or freeze it into ice. After some training, the mermaid could at most affect the region up to twenty or thirty meters away from her.

After checking the conditions of the mermaids, as well as the assimilation of deified cells, Lu Zhiyu released the mermaids into the large, saltwater lake which was connected to the ocean on the Swirl Continent. This was the place he had chosen for these mermaids. From now on, the Swirl Continent would belong to the mermaids, the first extraordinary intelligent race to be born on Maria’s World!

After Lu Zhiyu removed the seals he had placed on the mermaids’ minds, they immediately woke up. They surfaced from the water and looked at the scene over the lake, taking their first view of Maria’s World.

White clouds dotted the clear, blue sky above them, and the lake stretched out infinitely. In the distance, lush forests rose in rank, and seabirds flew across the sky occasionally. The mermaids gazed at the outside world like a group of newborn babies, curious about everything

The only one who looked confused was number one. This world was different from what she saw just now. She still remembered the strange, cold box she was in, and the weird man staring at her outside.

However, she almost immediately left her confusion behind. In comparison, this new world around her was so much more interesting than the previous one. The colorful Maria’s World, fresh air, and vast waters were enough for her to forget what had happened.

The mermaids played in the beautiful lake like sprites of water. They danced amongst the waves and explored the floor of the lake. Then, they swam along the side of the lake, heading towards the unknown distance!
