Chapter 149: Chapter 138: Advanced Life Pheromones

Returning to Su City, it was already past two in the morning.

When the plane landed in Kunming, Zhen Qiang suggested that everyone spend the night there, since it was already quite late.

However, since Lu Li had to rush to treat Elder Liu the next day, he and the others transferred to Shanghai and drove back to Su City overnight.

Past two in the morning was indeed too late.

Additionally, there was the appointment to treat Elder Liu the next day.

Lu Li thought it over and decided not to go to Diamond Home.

Nor did he return to Poly Yuxi.

Lu Li went to the villa arranged for him by the Liu Family.

He didn’t want to disturb Liu Kexin or the rest of Sleeping Beauty’s slumber.

He found the main house.

Lu Li went into the second-floor bedroom.

He saw that new bedding had been laid out here.

All the furniture was new as well.

Clearly, the Liu Family had put quite a bit of thought into him.

Lu Li took a shower first, then lay on the bed, pondering things.

“I earlier attempted to use telepathy to extract the images manifesting in others’ minds while they think, yet ultimately failed to extract them, which obviously doesn’t align with reason.”

Lu Li felt it shouldn’t be this way.

After all, he could transmit images to others via telepathy.

Why couldn’t he receive images?

At the time, things were rather urgent, so he didn’t have time to think it through.

Now, with some downtime, Lu Li, of course, needed to carefully consider it.

If he could use telepathy to extract images from other people’s brainwaves, then any future communication with anyone would be obstruction-free.

Even if it were aliens.

Yes, that’s assuming aliens exist.

Moreover, the utility of extracting images from brainwaves isn’t limited to communication.

Lu Li could conceive of numerous uses.

Such as various knowledge extractions, or even if someone’s thinking about something sultry…

Ahem, in any case, the applications are vast.

“Why can’t I extract images from others’ brainwaves?”

Lu Li was utterly perplexed.

He thought that extracting images should be similar to implanting hallucinations…

Eh!

Wait a minute!

Is extracting images similar to implanting hallucinations?

Lu Li blinked as he thought of something, “Could it be that the different frequency, amplitude, and waveform factors of the brainwaves I extract result in different extracted information?”

Upon thinking this, he prepared to give it a try.

Attempting requires finding a subject.

Lu Li, without hesitation, externalized his spiritual power.

He probed into the neighboring villa where Liu Peilin was sleeping soundly.

First, he used telepathy to sense the brainwaves of the other while they slept.

“Divine Doctor Lu is so handsome, even though I’m a lesbian and usually detest men, I have a physiological response to him without knowing why.”

The other seemed to be dreaming.

The information Lu Li sensed made him chuckle.

He never imagined Liu Peilin was actually a lesbian.

Just as he was about to try implanting a hallucination to observe brainwave fluctuations,

Suddenly, Lu Li paused.

“Liu Peilin is a lesbian, yet also has feelings for me?”

This implies that his appeal to women isn’t solely due to a handsome appearance.

It’s simple logic; lesbians are attracted to women and psychologically can’t accept men.

So logically, no matter how handsome he is, Liu Peilin shouldn’t have any ideas about him.

Yet, unexpectedly, in the other’s dream, he intercepted information indicating their interest in him.

Furthermore, the other’s subconscious in the dream suggested that this interest was purely a physical instinct, not psychological.

What does this indicate?

It indicates there’s something about him that particularly attracts women.

According to science, sexual attraction is largely related to reproduction.

Of course, humans are more advanced, and sometimes it also involves emotions.

Just that Liu Peilin being attracted to him is evidently emotion-free.

Lu Li knew, thus, it’s purely hormones or some neurotransmitters creating this scenario.

“Could it be I’ve evolved some kind of advanced pheromone, making me more attractive to women?”

He carefully pondered.

Pheromones are chemicals secreted by an individual.

Put simply, they’re what we call ectohormones.

They can be perceived by other individuals of the same species through organs like smell.

Thus influencing these individuals’ behavior, emotions, psychological or physiological mechanisms, among other things.

Lu Li pondered whether, if he could control such biological pheromones, it might enable indirect manipulation of a person’s actions and behavior?

If truly possible, even without deploying mind control, he could still get someone to do whatever he wanted.

Lu Li began sniffing himself, hoping to find the pheromones.

It’s just that pheromones, this enigma, might be more easily perceived by the opposite gender, whereas it was hard for himself to detect them.

Even with his powerful sense of smell, Lu Li couldn’t detect the scent of pheromones.

“Let’s try maximizing the power of super smell.”

He activated the super smell.

Various scents hit the nose at once.

There are floral fragrances and the fresh scent of grass and trees.

Of course, there’s also the stench of rotting leaves and various animal excrements.

Lu Li tried as hard as he could to endure those smells, diverting his attention to his own armpit.

Generally speaking, pheromones are concentrated in two areas of the body.

One is the armpit.

The other is the groin.

Perhaps it was because his super sense of smell was turned up to its maximum.

He did vaguely catch a hint of a very alluring special scent from his own armpit.

This scent was something Lu Li had never encountered in nature before; it was peculiar indeed.

After smelling it, he even had a slight impulsive thought towards himself.

“If I want to change the signal that the pheromone releases, would it make people experience different emotions?”

Lu Li attempted to convey a sense of “terror” using his pheromones.

The next moment, he did indeed catch a faint whiff of “terror.”

He was clearly in a room, yet it felt as if he was being hunted by a fierce beast, filled with a terrifying sensation.

“Oh, it actually works?”

Lu Li’s eyes lit up, and he enthusiastically continued his experiments.

After a while, he roughly concluded that he could indeed control his pheromones to express his inner intentions, whether to induce fear or to attract others; it was almost entirely possible.

“Oh, I see why Liu Kexin, Wildfire Baby, Xiaoqing, and others were so strongly attracted to me.”

Lu Li mused to himself, “It must be because I had a certain liking for them from the start, leading my pheromones to draw their hearts in.”

Chen Man Ni was not like Liu Kexin, Wildfire Baby, and Xiaoqing.

Because when I first learned about her, I knew she was married and had no thoughts about her.

Hence, I never released pheromones to attract her.

“This thing is quite fascinating.”

Lu Li pondered, “According to my previous tests, if I control the pheromones to release massively, would it enchant certain women to the point of complete infatuation?”

He recalled the intimacy with Liu Kexin in his bedroom before.

Based on the situation during the first time in Liu Kexin’s room.

The other party seemed very resistant to the idea of kissing.

This might have been related to my impure intentions with the pheromones at that time.

Because Liu Kexin was a virgin.

She sensed my desire to sleep with her through the pheromones.

So, subconsciously, she became vigilant.

As for the second time when I kissed her, it was purely to attract her.

The pheromones did not cause any subconscious “oppression.”

Instead, they genuinely attracted her.

Thus, it naturally progressed to a kiss.

“If my guess is right, as long as I truly desire it, attracting girls would become very easy, and possibly, even men if necessary.”

Hmm, but that’s unnecessary with men.

I’m not interested in men.

Having figured out the pheromones, Lu Li moved his thoughts back to the extraction of telepathic images.

He tried implanting illusions into the sleeping Liu Peilin.

Wanting to see if the other party’s brainwaves would show any differences.

Initially, Lu Li didn’t notice any difference.

However, as his attempts continued, he gradually noticed that when images appeared in the other’s mind, the brainwaves differed a bit from usual.

Lu Li carefully analyzed and roughly understood how to extract the images.

He first ended the illusion planting, then once again used telepathy to extract the images from Liu Peilin’s dreams.

Soon, as if watching a movie, Lu Li found an image unfolding in his mind: Liu Peinan, Dr. Henqi, and a dozen others were watching him treat Elder Liu.

Unlike the usual treatment, which only involves his hands placed on Elder Liu’s legs.

In Liu Peilin’s dream, it showed him dancing around like a wizard…

Well, dreams are strange by nature.

There’s nothing to it.

The noteworthy thing is, Lu Li found that the extracted images were viewed from Liu Peilin’s perspective, yet without any emotional entanglement.

This felt just as he initially thought, as if watching a movie.

“So it turns out the waveform of the brainwaves extracted was different.”

Lu Li finally understood.

Afterward, he didn’t dwell on these matters.

As for the transformation technique, he didn’t give it much thought either.

He suspected this skill might very likely be completed only after his third deep evolution.

Nevertheless, Lu Li did not immediately sleep.

He was considering something else.

“Although I easily eliminated those kidnappers in Myanmar before, this trip made me see my shortcomings.”

Lu Li pondered, “I have too few methods; even though my Spiritual Power can be very potent, as of now, it’s like using a nuclear power plant to light a bulb.”

He understood this was related to his “knowledge.”

His understanding of physics and chemistry was really too lacking.

For example, how various particles collide, how much energy they release, etc.

If I had that knowledge, I could unleash the greatest power with the smallest force.

“Besides buying some books on physics and chemistry to learn from, I should find some really knowledgeable people in these fields and learn high-end physics and chemistry from them.”

Lu Li decided to develop a secret move using physics and chemistry knowledge.

Preferably with awe-inspiring power enough to shock everyone into submission at once.

Thus, no one would dare do anything against me.

Alright, starting tomorrow, I’ll develop a secret move!
