Chương 276: Yang Cheng: So I've become a big shot too?

For scientists, having their expertise questioned and belittled is undoubtedly a trampling on their dignity.

But the situation was beyond his control, and for the sake of his own life, Dr. Tianzhi finally decided to abandon his dignity.

"What this lord says is true. My meager skills are naturally insignificant compared to Lord Orochimaru."

However, bio-modification inevitably comes with some accidents and sacrifices.

While it's true that many test subjects died in the course of the research, they were just fishermen.

When Dr. Tenchi heard Yang Cheng accuse him of causing the deaths of many people with his research, he assumed that Yang Cheng was worried that the deaths of many ninjas would attract the attention of other ninja villages.

That's why Dr. Tenji repeatedly stated that his research subjects were just ordinary fishermen from the Sea Country.

If possible, Dr. Tianzhi would naturally like to use some ninjas as test subjects, but since this place is adjacent to the Land of Water, he is worried that doing too much will attract the attention of Kirigakure.

As for Yang Cheng's opinion that he was killing innocent people indiscriminately, Dr. Tianzhi had not considered this at all.

After all, he was a scientist who had followed Orochimaru from the very beginning, and Orochimaru was far more ruthless than him when it came to biological research.

Everyone here works for Orochimaru; whose hands are clean?

"Damn it, don't fishermen's lives matter? I hate you crazy scientists who mess around like this, which is why bio-engineering technology has become so terrifying."

Since you believe that sacrifice is inevitable for scientific research, then let's sacrifice ourselves!

As Yang Cheng finished speaking, Dr. Tianzhi's head, still showing a look of bewilderment and confusion, was already flying into the air.

Seeing Dr. Tenchi's body, decapitated and sinking into the sea, Yang Cheng looked at the obviously shocked modified girl beside him and said, "Your name is Yu Huo, right? Go and retrieve that mad doctor's body."

As payment, I will try to help you restore you to your original state.

She was clearly a beautiful young woman, but now she's been turned into this inhuman, ghostly mess. This doesn't even deserve to be called biological modification!

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Yu Huo was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a while, she finally plunged into the water.

To be honest, Yu Huo's feelings have been quite turbulent since she met Yang Cheng.

At first, she thought Yang Cheng was a servant from the Sea Kingdom sent to eliminate the Sea Demon, and when she saw Yang Cheng's powerful strength, she realized that she was doomed this time.

But considering that he had become a monster, dying like this might not be a bad thing.

However, just as he was mentally preparing himself for death, things took another turn.

No one expected that the newcomer would know Dr. Tenchi and his group. Yu Huo didn't know who Lord Orochimaru was, but it wasn't hard to tell from their conversation that they were probably in cahoots.

I thought I could finally escape this misery, but it turns out that a stronger and seemingly higher-ranking character has arrived.

Just when Yu Huo felt utterly hopeless, another unexpected event occurred. The boy named Yang Cheng actually turned around and killed Dr. Tian Zhi, and even promised to turn him back to his original form.

Whether Yang Cheng was deceiving her or not, Yu Huo didn't know, but she believed that Yang Cheng was more trustworthy than Tian Zhi, the mad scientist.

Putting everything else aside, Yang Cheng's single sentence, "Aren't fishermen's lives also lives?" was enough to move Yu Huo and make him realize that Yang Cheng was different from Tian Zhi and the others.

In this cruel ninja world, the lives of ordinary people are as worthless as grass.

Whenever a ninja war breaks out between those major powers, the bigwigs only care about how many ninjas have died in their own ninja villages. Who would bother to calculate how many ordinary people are affected and die because of the war?

Ninjas walk on the edge of danger, their lives are worthless, but ordinary people's lives are even cheaper, and even if they die, no one will care or remember them.

Moreover, regardless of whether Yang Cheng was deceiving her or not, the fact that he killed Tian Zhi was considered revenge for her. That's why Yu Huo hesitated for a moment before finally choosing to obey Yang Cheng's orders.

Seeing that Tianzhi was swiftly and decisively killed by Yangcheng, Akakon Kai and Kenmei both trembled and knelt down instantly, begging for mercy and saying that they had not betrayed Lord Orochimaru.

There was no way he could escape; Yang Cheng's previous display of strength was undeniable.

If they kneel down and beg for mercy now, they might still have a sliver of hope. But if they turn around and run away, they'll only be setting an example for others.

"I wasn't sent by Orochimaru, so even if you want to betray him or something, it's none of my business."

Of course, I'm not a ninja commissioned by the Land of the Sea's deposit team, so I won't stop you from stealing the deposit.

"But the saying goes, 'half for each meeting.' Now that I know your plans but haven't exposed you, asking for 80% of the deposit isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Faced with Yang Cheng's outrageous demands, Akakon Kai and Kenmei Cheng were not angry at all; instead, their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

Because Yang Cheng saying those words meant that they could live.

Moreover, the Land of the Sea giving the Land of the Water a 20% deposit is also a considerable sum.

"Lord Yangcheng, we will naturally obey your orders without hesitation, but in order to successfully complete the deposit, the Land of the Sea must have hired ninjas from other ninja villages to escort us. If it's just the two of us—" The meaning behind the words of the man in the copper armor was quite clear: he was subtly asking whether Yang Cheng could provide them with assistance in this operation.

"Don't even think about it. If I'm going to personally rob the deposit, what business is it of yours?"

However, considering it's just the two of you, it's indeed difficult to accomplish anything. Although I can't personally intervene, I can still offer some assistance.

Yang Cheng first sent the Red Copper Armor and the others to the Land of the Sea to capture a heinous thug or a rogue. Then he directly used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to revive the dead Tenji.

As for the corpse that Tianzhi originally left behind, Yang Cheng used it for biological modification and combined it with the abilities of the "King of the Dead" to create another new individual.

When they saw Yang Cheng resurrect the dead Tianzhi with a mere gesture and transform his corpse into another being, both Chitong Kai and Jian Meicheng were stunned by Yang Cheng's methods.

Even Tenji, who was resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, was impressed by Yang Cheng's ability to transform his corpse into something magical when he saw him use it for biological modification. He realized that his previous death was truly not unjust.

No wonder the other party dared to criticize me so much. It's not that the other party doesn't understand bio-modification; I'm the real clown!

Even Tianzhi could be certain that, in terms of biological modification technology alone, Yang Cheng's skills and level were such that even Orochimaru would be no match for him!
