Chapter 188: The choice between not being a human being and not being able to be a human being
"I understand!" Miyano Shiho said and ended the call.

After finishing the call with Miyano Shiho, Li De contacted Victoria directly through the contract this time.

"Victoria!" said Reed.

"Master, what do you want me to do for you?" Victoria asked immediately.

"Go to the basement of the villa and wait for me immediately!" Li De said, and then teleported himself back to the villa.

As soon as I appeared, I saw Victoria who was teleported back at the same time.

"Master, is there anything urgent?" Victoria asked as she followed Li De to the basement.

"Shiho needs genetic samples from Alpha and the others to strengthen her bloodline, so I have to go and inform Alpha and the others." Li De said immediately.

"Should we ask them to send the genetic samples or come here directly?" Victoria continued to ask.

"Come on, everyone. Remember to bring Yita with you this time." Li De said to Victoria after thinking for a while.

"Shall we invite Elizabeth and Rose too?" Victoria asked again.

"Well, let me ask Shiho first." Li De was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then passed a message to Miyano Shiho.

"Shiho, do Elizabeth and Rose need to come over?"

"Master, I have the genetic samples of the two seniors." Miyano Shiho would not help Li De make any decision, but just gave this answer.

"Okay, go ahead and do your thing!" Li De said and ended the call.

Then he said to Victoria, "They don't need to run again. After all, someone has to be in charge of the capital of Midgar. Also, tell Alpha that although the time of absence is only a little over a day, it needs to be arranged in advance.

If something unexpected happens, notify Elizabeth and let her handle it. The next time the gate opens will be in thirty days, which is two hours later in the main world. Do you remember that?"

"Yes, I remember it clearly." Victoria nodded after listening.

"Okay, then I'll open the gate now!" After saying that, the camouflaged slime on Li De's arm began to spread to both sides under the control of evil spirit, revealing the tattoo of the gate.

Along with Li De's infusion of demonic energy, a projection of a gate appeared in front of the two.

After the projection was formed, the moment the door was opened, Victoria was shot into the real world on the other side of the boundary gate.

After looking around, Victoria suddenly drew out her sword and cut a gash on her arm, spilling blood where she stepped.

Just when Reed was a little puzzled, Victoria shot through the goal post again and returned to Reed.

The next second, the gate shattered.

"Master, I have already passed the message to Alpha and the others. The gate will open again in two hours. Except for Rose and Elizabeth, the other contractors must gather together. They will be away for about a day. If there is anything urgent, please ask Elizabeth to handle it." Victoria reported to Reed before asking rationally.

"Can they find the place where you left your bloodstain?" Li De asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, master. The gate is located near the capital of Midgar. I can see the capital. After telling Alpha and the others that the gate is located near the northwest outskirts of the capital, it is impossible for Delta to not smell the blood I left behind." Victoria answered confidently.

"Well, since you said so, let's wait for the results in a month." Li De didn't say much after hearing this.

After all, if Victoria really has received enough notice, it doesn't matter if she doesn't stay in the real world.

When Victoria and I came out of the basement, a virtual projection of a little girl appeared in the living room.

"Master, the trembling Tornado is begging for mercy through video call." The AI ​​codenamed Red Queen spoke to Li De.

This thing is purely Li De's bad taste. In fact, Li De originally planned to do it at the headquarters, but then he thought about it and found it inappropriate.

It’s not that it’s not suitable to use AI intelligence, but the headquarters and even the branches of the Hero Association were established by Dr. Forboy, so it’s not appropriate to insert the AI ​​program written by Child Emperor into it.

For this reason, Li De didn't even use the one from the hospital. He just built one in his own villa to satisfy his own bad taste.

"Take it!" Li De said immediately.

As Li De's order was issued, Tornado's figure also appeared in the virtual projection.

"Hey, Sid, I'm planning to hold a party at noon tomorrow, remember to come to my house!" Tornado's voice came over immediately.

"So you are finally going to celebrate your growing up?" Li De asked with a smile.

This is not Li De's satire on Tornado, but a statement of fact.

This story began almost a year ago, when Longjuan suddenly found Li De and asked him if he had any potion that could help people grow taller.

After all, although Tornado never says it, she has always been quite concerned about her little girl figure.

After seeing Li De take out so many medicines with different effects, she finally couldn't help it, and then she found an opportunity to come and ask privately.

In the world of pirates, this is not that difficult. As long as you don't die, you can just train yourself to death.

With the special rules of the pirate world and various nutritious foods, Tornado will definitely be able to transform from a young loli into a sexy mature woman after two or three years of training.

But this is the One Punch World, and if you're not careful it's easy to create a monster Tornado that's incredibly tall.

So after some consideration, Li De asked Miyano Akemi to be responsible for treating Tornado.

What is being treated?

Treat symptoms of unhealthy development.

That's right, Li De asked Miyano Akemi to regard Tornado's slow physical development as unhealthy, and use a large amount of healing power to assist Tornado in developing quickly.

However, this was not a treatment on Tornado's body which had stopped developing, but a treatment on Tornado's body which was only 7 years old.

That's right, Tornado took the rejuvenation drug according to Li De's plan.

After all, even if it is Li De, there is currently no effective means to make the body that has stopped developing start to develop again. Don't forget that Tornado is already 28 years old.

Unless he pulls her into the pirate world, Li De has basically no chance of success.

Or they could use the system's fusion card, but Tornado is not a contractor, so there is no need to consider system means.

So Li De simply used a trick to redevelop. You think you haven't developed well enough, don't you? It doesn't matter. I'll give you a chance to redevelop. This time, with scientific means to create hormones that stimulate body growth, alchemical potions to increase physical strength, and body training, plus the healing power to protect you, if you still can't give you a Nice Body, then I have no choice.

Therefore, in the past eleven months, apart from two missions to defeat monster disasters, Tornado has basically not gone out, and has focused on physical development and body shaping.

In fact, if it came to old guys like Bang and Hiruzen, Li De really didn't dare to let them take the anti-aging medicine at will.

After all, they are different from Tornado. Even if Tornado's body returned to the age of 7, her superpowers were not affected at all.

But this won't work for old guys like Bang and Hinata. Once their bodies return to the age of seven, at least 90% of their strength will be lost.

This is also the reason why Tornado is not afraid of taking the anti-aging drug.

In addition, Li De also wanted to see how fast Tornado's body could grow under multiple means.

In fact, Tornado herself doesn’t know one thing, that is, there are a lot of people paying attention to her.

After all, if one can grow up again in a short period of time, it would be completely acceptable to some people.

Now eleven months have passed, and since Tornado can call Li De, it proves that her body has grown to a certain extent.

"What do you mean by finally growing up? I'm celebrating myself for becoming the number one in S-class. I won't say anymore. Remember to come early tomorrow!" After saying that, Tornado ended the video call.

"It seems that Tornado's growth rate is a little beyond expectations. Although I haven't seen her whole body, her face is almost as tall as Fubuki, so it seems that her height will not be bad." Victoria, who had been silent just now, couldn't help but say at this moment.

"We'll know when we go and take a look tomorrow." Li De also nodded and said.

In fact, Li De knew it all without Victoria's reminder. After all, with Tornado's personality, how could she hold a banquet to celebrate if she hadn't grown to a satisfactory level?

Since she invited him to attend the party, it proved that she was very satisfied with his growth results in the past eleven months.

168cm的身高，91（32F）/59/88的三围能不让龙卷满意么。

The most important thing here is that although Tornado's body has been ripened, it has not stopped developing.

In other words, if you work harder, you can get in even better shape.

"How is it?" Li Decai arrived at Longjuan's villa, and Longjuan came to Li De, turned around and asked.

"Not bad, good figure! Anyone who sees you now will think of the words sexy queen." Li De replied with a smile.

"Humph, of course!" Tornado replied proudly.

"These eleven months have been tough," Li De said immediately.

"That's true, but it's all worth it!" Tornado nodded.

"Just be happy secretly. Others who want to deserve it haven't had the chance yet." Li De couldn't help but reach out and tap Tornado's forehead and said.

And what Li De said was indeed correct, because even if someone wanted to apply again, Li De would not agree.

The fact that one person was holding Li De back was enough for Li De to refuse, not to mention that in the past eleven months, Akemi Miyano had used up too much of her health energy on Tornado.

If it weren't for the fact that the heroes from all walks of life were inclined to capture monsters, which greatly enriched the underground cells of the Internal Hospital, the health resources occupied by Tornado would have caused the researchers at the Internal Hospital to protest.

"It seems that many people are paying attention to me." Tornado's tone suddenly became a little dangerous.

"There's nothing we can do about it. You're the first person to take the rejuvenation drug. It would be strange if those old guys who have long wanted to restore their youth didn't pay attention to it all the time." Li De couldn't help but say.

"Those bastards, don't they know that you can't just pry into girls' secrets?" Tornado said still unhappily.

"Don't worry, the only people who can break through the firewall set up by Child Emperor are probably Metal Storm and the Drive Warriors, and they obviously don't want to be your enemy, so your physical data will not be leaked. At most, there will be a photo every month to satisfy those people's curiosity, that's all." Li De replied indifferently.

"That's better, but I still don't like it. Besides, are those guys full and have nothing to do? Aren't they waiting for your genetic modification project? Why are they so concerned about me?" Tornado continued. After all, this made her feel like a guinea pig.

She had once experienced this feeling of being a guinea pig in the Tsukuyomi organization, and that experience was one she never wanted to recall again in her life.

"Tornado, the genetic modification project in Shiho's hands is not that simple." Miyano Akemi on the side took over the topic and explained.

"Is there any problem?" Tornado looked at Miyano Akemi in confusion and asked.

"Generally speaking, there is no problem in improving strength, but extending lifespan is a bit of a problem." Li De directly summarized the results.

"Sid, I remember you said it was okay before, didn't you?" Tornado looked at Reed again and asked.

"That's no problem." Li De nodded.

"Is there a problem or not? I'm confused by you." No matter how strong Tornado's spirit was, he was still confused by Li De's answer in the absence of sufficient information.

“Tornado, what the president meant was that if we use the human gene chain as a blueprint, then it would be difficult to solve the problem of life extension. At least in the short term, we won’t see the results that those people want.

But if we use the non-human gene chain as a blueprint, it will be different. Not to mention the problem of prolonging life, even the problem that only a few genes can be replaced can be easily solved. "Miyano Akemi continued to explain for Li De.

"If this inhuman gene chain is transformed, will it still be a human being?" Tornado couldn't help but ask.

"It depends on what standard you use to measure it. If you use bloodline as the standard, then the answer is no. If you use people's hearts to measure it, then the vast majority will still be no." Li De said.

"Puchi, hahahaha, Sid is right, those high-handed, fat-headed, and idle trash are really good at not being human." Claire on the side was immediately amused by Reed's cold joke.

After hearing Claire's laughter, Tornado also understood what Reed meant.

"So, Sid, what are you going to do?" Tornado asked curiously.

"What should we do?" Li De asked Tornado.

"The answer is whether or not to tell them. What choice do you plan to make?" Tornado asked after giving Li De a blank look.

"No need to tell. Those researchers in the hospital were sent by them, and Shiho basically did not hide anything from them. Therefore, those who should know know it. The rest is up to them to choose for themselves." Li De spread his hands and said.

"You are really careless!" Tornado said speechlessly after hearing this.

"No, this is the price you have to pay for support. You also know how much those superiors value longevity." Li De shook his head.

"That's true, but..." Tornado paused here.
