Chapter 865: Modifications – I
With Feng finish all the food cleanly, he was now ready for Lin Wu to work on.
Lin Wu waited for the system to finish analyzing Feng and when it said that Feng was in the right state, he began.
“We can start now.” Lin Wu spoke.
“What are you going to do, senior?” Feng asked.
“Repair and modify your body first. The rest is not something you will understand.” Lin Wu replied.
Hearing this, Feng was a little hesitant, which didn’t escape Lin Wu’s eyes.
“Don’t worry, if I wanted to kill you, I have far easier methods.” Lin Wu said with a chuckle.
“O-okay…” Feng knew there was no turning back now. “We can start.” He muttered.
“Good.” Lin Wu nodded his head, and another tentacle rose from the ground. “This will hurt, but for just a moment.”
Feng closed his eyes tightly upon hearing that, not wanting to witness whatever Lin Wu was about to do.
‘Maybe it’s good that he keeps his eyes closed. The beasts might be fine with it, but the humans are probably gonna be scared.’ Lin Wu thought to himself as a long stinger grew out from the tentacle.
The stinger was black and six inches long, along with being very sharp. The tentacle moved and skillfully stabbed into Feng’s chest.
~GASP!~
Feng couldn’t help but breathe in from the pain. His eyes opened due to the shock, but he didn’t look down, closing them back up.
“Just a second more…” Lin Wu said as the system got to work.
~DING~

A minute later, Feng’s tense body relaxed, and he didn’t feel any pain. But at the same time, he felt very groggy and a heavy feeling swept over him.
“I…” Before he could say anything, though, he fell asleep.
“There we go… now I can start the actual process.” Lin Wu said as the tentacle withdrew.
~CRACK~
The floor cracked as another larger tentacle rose from it. This tentacle was over two meters wide and looked more like another head, as it had a mouth on it.
~slick~
The mouth opened up, exposing its toothless interior. Instead of teeth, there were several more tentacles inside it. But these tentacles were different from normal, having clamp like appendages on them.
The tentacles extended and attached to Feng’s body. Three tentacles attached to each of his limbs, two attached to his waist, four attached to his chest and four to his back, before a wide tentacle covered his entire head.
Feng’s body was suspended mid air from the tentacles and the entire scene looked like something from a Science fiction horror movie. The only thing missing was a large tank filled with suspicious fluid to put Feng on.
“This method is new. Wonder what effects it will have. It will be my first time modifying a human to this extent…” Lin Wu muttered to himself.
What he was going to do here was different from anything before. One could say the Pentagem implants were merely a test prototype compared to what he was doing now. A preliminary attempt before a great experiment.
~DING~

Lin Wu watched as the system gave out one error after the other, but didn’t mind it. He knew that the process was not perfect at all as it was realistically the first true try. Even if the system had run the simulation many times, an actual, practical experiment was bound to be different.
Feng was a decent subject for Lin Wu as he got a ‘defective’ sample that he attempted to ‘repair’.
He could have very well started from a good sample that was not in the state as Feng, but he didn’t want that. He wanted to start from the very bottom of the bottom. Optimize it from the ground up, so that when he did it for the best samples, it would yield an even greater result.
After all, if he could turn a flawed sample into gold, he should be able to turn a good sample into platinum at the very least.
Two hours passed like this while the system continued to attempt the process over and over again. Feng’s body was stable too, and his vitals were not showing any signs of deterioration.
Lin Wu had gotten a little bored and thus started to check other things out till then. His body wasn’t here anyway, and it was just extensions of his body that were doing the work here.
He simply made more such ‘observation’ heads and let them spread out in the areas, watching and listening to all that happened.
More particularly, he was focused on the Tea house, or rather the back of the teahouse where he had taken Feng from.
“Hmm… no one actually noticed it even now.” Lin Wu muttered, finding it a little absurd.
In fact, when he looked into the Tea House he saw that the things were going without any issues. Even the waiters and other workers seemed to be a little more happy than normal, chatting amongst themselves.
“When do you think the owner will be back?” one of the waiters asked as he brought a tray full of dirty utensils.
“Hard to tell. But Feng hasn’t been back, so it’s possible that the Owner decided to simply go for a drink after ‘teaching’ him.” The worker inside the kitchen spoke while taking care of dirty dishes.
“Hmm… it was bound to happen sometime. Feng has been within the owner’s sights for a while.” The other waiter said as he nodded his head.
“Yeah, better him than us.” The worker said as he turned around to clean the dishes.
Lin Wu who saw all this, couldn’t help but chuckle.
‘If all of them were like this, then I’ll just make my plans would be so much easier.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
