“If I perfectly matched the V-type gene reagent, would I be able to freely control the V-generation mecha?”

Su Mo asked with some curiosity.

“You’re overthinking it. Perfect matching with the V-type gene reagent is just barely entering the threshold, barely meeting the qualifications to pilot a V-generation mecha. And none of this is the most important thing.”

False Creator·Devourer explained to Su Mo.

“Uh, then what’s the most important thing?”

The corner of Su Mo’s mouth twitched.

“What you need to pay the most attention to is negative energy virus contamination.”

False Creator·Devourer reminded him abruptly.

“Wait, what’s going on? What does piloting a IV-generation biological mecha have to do with the negative energy virus?”

Su Mo was also a little confused.

“Think about it carefully. This is the Negative Universe. All the biological mechas here are made using the bodies of powerful monsters as carriers. And most of those monsters were infected with the negative energy virus before they died. Do you think that piloting a biological mecha would only cause ordinary contamination? There must also be negative energy virus contamination mixed in. The reason you haven't felt it is because all mechas undergo negative energy virus removal during the manufacturing process, greatly weakening the negative energy virus contained in the organism. Also, you have been strengthened by gene reagents and have some resistance. Haven't you noticed that after each training session, you undergo physical examinations and receive drug injections?”

False Creator·Devourer said.

“I feel a headache the more I listen. Can this negative energy virus contamination be completely eliminated?”

“You can forget about that. Negative energy virus contamination is unlike other types of contamination. No one can completely avoid or cure it. The essence of this negative energy virus is to infinitely stimulate the dark side of your heart, amplify your desires, and project the darkness within you into reality. Everyone has a dark side, so no one can escape. What most people can do is use reason to suppress the desires that are aroused and minimize the impact of the negative energy virus on themselves. When a person is infected with the negative energy virus to a certain degree, the dark side of that person’s heart will be completely stimulated, and the whole person will become very twisted, eventually becoming like a different person. Do you think that when your thinking undergoes a qualitative change, you can still go back to the way you were before?”

False Creator·Devourer said in a hoarse voice. In fact, the negative energy virus has the same effect on it, but its essence is a collection of evil. So the effect is almost equal to zero, but that doesn't mean it has no effect at all.

Su Mo also felt a little horrified.

“According to what you’re saying, wouldn’t that mean that when I get infected with negative energy contamination to a certain degree, I won’t be me anymore?”

“You’ll still be you, but not the you of now. Of course, you don’t need to panic so much. As long as the negative energy virus infection doesn’t exceed your carrying limit, at most your personality will change subtly. For example, becoming relatively bloodthirsty or irritable. And it’s not entirely without benefits. Negative energy itself is also a kind of power, and it will also make you very powerful.”

False Creator·Devourer explained.

“I’m not interested in this kind of power that I can’t completely control myself.”

Su Mo said with a twitch of his mouth.

“Alright, you don’t need to worry too much. After all, you are someone who has been injected with the V-type gene reagent, and the degree of exertion is barely passable. Your resistance is still very good. So far, the negative energy virus contamination isn't too severe.”

False Creator·Devourer said in a low voice.

“Wait, if people like me who have been injected with the V-type gene reagent can be eroded by contamination, then what about Qian Chengxue and Wang Hai?”

Su Mo suddenly remembered and quickly asked.

“What’s there to say about them? Naturally, they’re being eroded even more severely. Otherwise, why would they have regular physical examinations and need to be hospitalized for so long? Think about it carefully. Most of the time you’re hospitalized, are you recovering from injuries or fighting contamination? Then you’ll understand. To put it bluntly, they are consuming their lives to pilot IV-generation biological mechas. That’s why I said that all power comes at a price.”

False Creator·Devourer said in a low voice.

Su Mo’s expression became a little unsightly upon hearing this. According to False Creator·Devourer, Qian Chengxue must also be suffering from contamination and overdrawing her life.

But while Su Mo was annoyed, he couldn’t persuade Qian Chengxue.

They were both adults, and everyone has their own position and ideals. Qian Chengxue certainly knew her own physical condition very well.

Su Mo could only sigh helplessly.

“Sigh!”

.......

M7 District Warehouse.

Ye Wuhen was directing a group of subordinates to sort and pack ore.

He was packing high-quality ore into boxes for graded storage.

Just then, Ye Wei, Xiao Jie, and others walked over from a distance.

“Big brother, what are you doing?”

Ye Wei looked at the ore filling the warehouse, her eyes wide.

She knew better than anyone how many resources their brothers and sisters had been allocated.

Xiao Jie frowned slightly, his expression a little unnatural. He didn’t receive many resources this time either.

“Sorting out resources.”

Ye Wuhen said calmly.

“No, big brother, where did you get so much ore?”

Ye Wei asked, puzzled.

Ye Wuhen was silent for a few seconds, and finally said frankly, "I asked Ye Xue and Su Mo for it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar.

Ye Wei's expression changed drastically, and she said, "Big brother, how could you ask her? Isn't this making us a laughingstock?"

Hearing Ye Wuhen's words, Xiao Jie's face became even more unsightly. He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Brother Ye, aren't you letting Ye Xue and Su Mo look down on us? It would be better for us to find our own solutions to any difficulties. How can we ask them for help?"

"Xiao Jie, this is a matter for our family, so you don't need to interfere. Instead of worrying about these things, you should think about what to do in the future. Everyone knows what our current situation is."

Ye Wuhen replied coldly to Xiao Jie, completely lacking his previous enthusiasm.

Xiao Jie put his hands behind his back and couldn't help but clench his fists.

Although his expression didn't change much, the anger in his heart couldn't help but burn.

Ye Xue was clearly his. Logically speaking, they should be the closest.

But ever since Su Mo appeared, everything had been completely subverted.

That damned guy not only stole Ye Xue, but now he was living so comfortably.

Now he was even undermining his partners.

It wouldn't matter if everyone was suffering together, but it was clear that Ye Wuhen, the fence-sitter, had clearly sided with the other party.

He was even so distant when speaking to him, clearly looking down on him.

So Xiao Jie replied to Ye Wuhen.

"Brother Ye Wuhen, I can't agree with your idea. People still have principles. Since our views are different, there's nothing to say. Goodbye!"

Xiao Jie snorted and turned to leave.
