The once undisputed top scholar of the Capital Royal Academy, now turned into a rat-like human living in the sewers, Su Mo felt the sorrow of a fallen genius.

But this was also the reason he came here today.

For his own future development and to avoid being buried in the future, he had to pull this guy out of the mire of despair.

Moreover, even though the future had comprehended many truths, it was still too young, too impulsive.

Boundaries do exist.

But they are far beyond what she can currently see.

Su Mo showed a mysterious smile: “Future, since you want to be a small layabout, I won’t stop you. I’m ready to leave.”

The future said with her eyes closed, “No need to see me off.”

Su Mo: “But before I leave, I’ll show you two things.”

The future opened her eyes a slit, giving Su Mo a sidelong glance.

Su Mo stretched out his hand, invoking the Mad Corpse Blood Code, letting the differentiated Rigid Bone encase his palm.

He asked, “Recognize this?”

The future snorted disdainfully: “Mad Corpse Blood Code, an antique blood code from decades ago, boring.”

Su Mo manipulated the Rigid Bone to form sharp bone spikes, cutting his finger, leaving a blood mark.

Immediately, he activated the Crimson Rose Blood Code, controlling the spilled blood to be reabsorbed, and the wound healed, returning to its original state.

He asked, “Recognize this?”

The future snorted again, still dismissive: “Crimson Rose Blood Code, also an old antique, boring. No matter what powerful blood code you show me, I still—”

The words came to an abrupt halt.

Silence.

Silence.

Silence.

“Thunk.” The future suddenly sat up in bed, and all the rats on her belly squeaked and flew off.

She stared at Su Mo, her mouth agape enough to fit two eggs, utterly shocked: “Wait… what is that?! Dual Blood Code???”

She thought she had seen it wrong, rubbed her eyes vigorously, babbling: “Your body… dual… dual blood codes?! You have both Mad Corpse and Crimson Rose blood codes?!”

“Why so surprised? Aren’t you uninterested in everything?” Su Mo deliberately turned to leave, mimicking her tone, “Whatever, I don’t care—”

“Wait, wait, wait, wait!” The future scrambled out of bed, rushing forward to block the exit.

She widened her eyes, speaking urgently: “You, you, you, show me again!”

Su Mo differentiated the bone spikes, cut his finger, healed the wound, and recreated the earlier scene.

The future clutched Su Mo’s hand, closely watching the changes on it, her eyes almost popping out: “This is impossible! A person can only carry one blood code; this is a truth established through countless studies!”

“If someone carried two blood codes, they would explode! BOOM! Explode, truly explode like a balloon being popped!”

Su Mo jokingly asked, “Do I look like a balloon to you?”

The future paced back and forth, murmuring something, suddenly clapping her hands: “I know! This must be some kind of new blood code!”

“The Blood Code Compiler adjusted the blood code sequence, merging the bone-controlling ability of the Mad Corpse Blood Code with the blood-controlling ability of the Crimson Rose Blood Code.”

“Even if this new blood code has two special abilities from different domains, it is still essentially a single blood code, so no issues arise when embedded in the human body. Am I right?”

Su Mo employed a tactic of playing hard to get: “Ah, right, right! If you think so, then it is, goodbye~”

After saying this, he walked out again.

“Wait, wait! Don’t go!” The future blocked Su Mo, anxiously bouncing on her feet, her eyes finally sparked with a thirst for knowledge, “Let me draw a blood sample, please? Just one! Just one!”

Su Mo stopped, a barely visible mischievous smile on his face.

What he had just displayed could be said to have completely shattered the future’s framework of understanding.

Indeed, a person can only carry one blood code, which is a conclusion established through countless studies.

But the “Ancestral Blood Code” carrier is an exception.

The Ancestral Blood Code, one of the seven clearing items in the game “Dawn,” grants the carrier a unique constitution, allowing their body to accommodate infinite blood codes.

This is something beyond the bounds of the future’s knowledge.

Su Mo lazily teased: “Not indifferent anymore, are we? Continue lying down, it’s much more comfortable~”

The future was so anxious she was hopping up and down: “I was wrong, I apologize, I shouldn’t have been so arrogant! Quickly tell me, how on earth did you do it?”

Su Mo cleared his throat, speaking slowly: “I can let you draw blood for research, and even show you more things beyond the borders. But there’s one condition.”

The future: “I agree!”

Su Mo: “I haven’t mentioned the condition yet.”

The future: “I agree to anything!”

Su Mo: “…Then leave the sewers and follow me, from now on only work for me. How about it?”

Faced with the temptation of knowledge, the future agreed without thinking, playfully saluting: “No problem, from now on you are my boss! Boss, nice to meet you! Um… I just realized I don’t even know your name.”

Su Mo: “I’m Su Mo.”

The future spoke solemnly yet excitedly: “Nice to meet my boss, Su Mo! Newbie Future reporting in! So, can we draw blood now?”

Su Mo ruffled her hair, annoyed: “Even if I give you blood, do you currently have the equipment to research it? Don’t be so impatient, come with me outside and we’ll discuss it there. I’ll arrange a place for you to stay.”

Mentioning going outside, the future turned dejected: “But boss, I don’t know if the Red Blade Association people are still watching me… I owe them so much money, the interest has compounded so much by now, even the principal is several million in debt.”

Su Mo said blandly: “Don’t worry about the Red Blade Association, I’ll help you deal with them. Luckily, I have some trouble to find with them recently. Once things are settled, I’ll come back for you.”

The future immediately smiled, rubbing her hands: “Alright, alright, I’ll wait for your news here. Boss, you must come back, don’t break your promise!”

Su Mo nodded: “Hm, I’ll come get you within a week. If there’s anything you need to bring, pack early.”

After saying that, he waved goodbye: “Leaving now, see you.”

“See you! Haha, finally something fun to play with!!!” The sewers echoed with the girl’s delighted laughter and the shrill screams of mice being squeezed.

…

Leaving the sewers, Su Mo began working on Audiana’s commission.

This time it was a “hunting mission,” the target belonging to the Red Blade Association, and it just so happened that the future owed the Red Blade Association high-interest debt. With both matters intersecting, Su Mo could take care of them together.

The target for this hunt was named “Simpson,” nicknamed “Beast,” standing 1.98 meters tall and weighing 129 kilograms. He was an experienced black boxer with a career record of 51 wins and 3 losses.

Worth mentioning is that according to the intelligence provided by Audiana, Simpson is also a blood code carrier and his blood code belongs to the “supernatural abilities” category!
