Chapter 36: Mutated Little Yellow Chick

Zhang Bei shook the little yellow chick. He saw it lying there with its eyes closed, not moving at all.

However, judging from the little yellow chick’s thumping stomach, it was still alive. It had just fainted or fallen asleep.

Zhang Bei shook its little head and found that there was no way to wake it up, so he put it back into its nest.

The little yellow chick was asleep, and Zhang Bei had nothing to do. He put away the broken glass test tube and placed it beside the red test tube. He held the red test tube and looked at the bright liquid inside. He restrained his desire to drink it and put it back in the box.

After doing this, he lay on the bed and turned off the table lamp to sleep.

He tossed and turned many times but still couldn’t sleep. Therefore, he turned on the table lamp and looked at the world channel.

While looking at the world channel, he realized that there were so many night owls. It seemed that even if there was no nightlife in space, everyone slept very late.

Suddenly, someone sent a photo. Zhang Bei opened it and the image of the sun popped out. He felt extremely hot just looking at it.

He asked in the world channel. “Eh, why did you send the photo?”

The other party replied quickly. “Look at the red dot in the bottom left corner of the world channel. Do you see it?”

Zhang Bei looked at the bottom left corner and indeed found a red dot. He tapped lightly and the channel closed. Then, the notification said that the update would be completed in half an hour.

Zhang Bei looked at the sleeping little yellow chick and looked at the world channel that would finish updating in half an hour. He sighed and turned off the table lamp. He closed his eyes and recalled the past.

After Zhang Bei closed his eyes, the little yellow chick’s body glowed with a blue light.

The light circled the little yellow chick a few times before returning to its body.

Zhang Bei closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly. He dreamed of the time when he was working on Earth. He would go home to cook for himself and his kitten.

He remembered that when he got off work, someone was preparing to euthanize their kitten because it was too ugly. He happened to pass by and stopped the owner. He even spent money to buy the kitten.

In the beginning, this kitten did not dare to let Zhang Bei touch it at all. It bared its teeth, scratched and bit him every day. Later, after getting familiar, it slept beside him every day.

Zhang Bei named him potato chips because every time it ate cat food, it would make a crisp sound like when he was eating potato chips.

Chi chi chi, the little yellow chick’s chirping came along with a sharp pain on his head.

Zhang Bei didn’t even open his eyes. He directly pulled the little yellow chick from his head and rubbed his eyes. He then carefully observed the little yellow chick. In the end, he found that the little yellow chick hadn’t changed at all, but its fur felt a little fluffier than before.

It seemed like this potion was useless. He put the little yellow chick aside and closed his eyes to continue sleeping.

However, the little yellow chick refused to give up. It tugged at Zhang Bei’s hair, wanting to pull him up.

Zhang Bei was very angry. He picked up the little yellow chick and flicked its little head with force. “Do you know that it’s still night? Look outside. Is there a sun? Is there a sun? Why are you waking me up when the sun is not up yet?”

The little yellow chick chirped pitifully, but it still bit Zhang Bei’s finger and wanted to bring him outside.

Zhang Bei was very helpless, but he still followed the little yellow chick. When he got outside, he saw the little yellow chick go outside and chirp at Zhang Bei twice. Then, it turned around and spat out a small flame at the almost finished fire on the ground.

He was stupefied. He looked at the little yellow chick with a very shocked expression. Then, he squatted down and poked the little yellow chick’s head, telling it, “Come and throw up another one.”

The little yellow chick rubbed its head against Zhang Bei’s hand and chirped twice. Then, it spat out another fireball at the fire. This time, Zhang Bei could clearly see that the fireball was really spat out from the little yellow chick’s mouth.

Zhang Bei could not accept this fact. He was not afraid, but he wondered if that potion really changed its genes.

If the blue potion could change the genes of animals and the red potion could really change the genes of humans, what would happen to Zhang Bei if he drank the red potion? Would he also spit fire?

He didn’t understand this matter and didn’t dare to think about it. If such technology really existed, then how powerful was the civilization that invented this technology? If they decided to harm humans, then would there be a place for humans?

Zhang Bei broke out in a cold sweat. Then, he suddenly thought if he could get some answers from the cosmologist.

Coincidentally, the World Channel had already finished updating. He opened the World Channel and found the cosmologist. He then added him as a friend.

After a while, the cosmologist accepted his friend request and greeted Zhang Bei. “May I know who you are?”

Zhang Bei reported his name and asked the cosmologist, “Is there a civilization of a higher level than Earth?”

Of course, he did not dare to say that he had something in his hand. A man’s wealth could be a sin. Regardless of whether the other party was a good or bad person, as long as he said it, someone would definitely target the thing in his hand.

But the other party’s words shocked Zhang Bei. The cosmologist said, “Of course there are. The entire Milky Way, the entire Solar System, and the entire galaxy have all kinds of cosmic civilizations, and Earth is only one of the low-level civilizations.”

“Have you found something of other civilizations? Of course, you can choose not to tell me, but I have to remind you that you have to be careful when using anything because our physiques and genes are not necessarily compatible with the things in other galaxies. If you use it rashly, I don’t know what serious consequences there will be.”

Zhang Bei was silent for a long time. Then he decided to tell the cosmologist about little yellow chick.

He told the cosmologist everything from the time he picked up the little yellow chick to the time it drank the blue potion, but he did not mention the battle between the big white chicken and the snake.

The cosmologist did not reply for a long time. When he replied, he said to Zhang Bei that this little yellow chicken might have already undergone a change due to the radiation. Therefore, the mutation when it drank the potion might be due to the strengthening of its body.

“As long as the yellow chick doesn’t have the intention to hurt you, you can raise it slowly. It will be of help to you one day.” Then, he joked, “It can also be used as a lighter.”

Zhang Bei smiled and thanked the cosmologist..
