[BL] Heroic Death System (PART 1)

Chapter 69: I Am Not A Merman (VI)

Ever since their interview, Flames' and Waves' reputation had skyrocketed and they quickly became the most popular and cutest animals in the world. Qin Yuan was long prepared for this. Two months ago, using them as models, he researched and developed dolphin themed merchandise. He produced computers, games, clothes, utensils, toys, ornaments, picture albums and so on, causing a trend in dolphin paraphernalia with certain items being collected extensively.

Qin Yuan dedicated 25% of the earnings toward the dolphin's protection and living in addition to outside contributions. Within only half a year, the two dolphins had become the richest animals in the world. The internet had specially created a huge harem including men and women of all ages along with their pets. They considered themselves concubines while Qin Yuan was the steady harem head.

Qin Yuan rather calmly accepted the "Empress" identity. However, his assistant once accidentally heard him mutter, "The Empress should dominate the harem. These uppity concubines from all over the world dare to strive for favor..."

Qin Yuan did not spread information of Flames and Waves to earn money, but to protect them. Contrary to the population's simple love toward them, scientists were interested in their condition after undergoing mutation. Once certain scientists become obsessed with something, they lose their morals. As such, the more famous the two dolphins became, the less likely they were to be persecuted.

Public will and opinion shall become the shield that protects them.

However, the development of events was considerably stranger than anyone could guess. Humanity could keep a bottomline and their morals in check only because they could not see any benefits in breaking it.

A year later, the research team with Dr. Cui as the head obtained astonishing research results. The hormones and cell tissues of the dolphin could mix with most organisms and an optimized mutation will occur. The most unbelievable result of this was that it could raise fertility rates.

This information was no doubt a very pleasing surprise for the humans who were facing a crisis in their birth rates.

"Absolutely not!" Ice flashed through Qin Yuan's eyes as he spoke in an unyielding tone.

The research leader appointed by the government mentioned a breeding plan to have Flames crossbreed with other organisms to expand the dolphin population and offer them enough research material.

Allowing Flames to crossbreed with other organisms? Just thinking about it was intolerable for Qin Yuan.

"This concerns the future of humanity. You did not have the means to object, but you do have the rights to them, so the higher ups decided to give you a year's worth of time to think about it. During this year, we can have Flames interact with some other organisms to try and cultivate some feelings." The research leader's tone was just as unyielding.

Qin Yuan's face was dark as he glared coldly at the research leader, his eyes twitching violently without pause.

After a moment, he spoke heavily, "I understand."

Qin Yuan understood that, even if the crisis with humanity's population wasn't brought up, the dolphin species must be continued. This means that they just might need to use some special methods to ensure it. He does not care about other organisms. Only with Flames would he not accept such a thing.

Qin Yuan went to the pool where Flames was lazing about, staring at the calm sea water as his mood plummeted into the negatives. A faint feeling of anger he could not eliminate burned in his heart.

"Bubbub~" Shang Ke emerged from the water, swishing over to Qin Yuan and cheerfully calling out to him.

Qin Yuan squat down, stagnant eyes looking at him and hiding a deep depression.
