Wang Yanfei suddenly opened his eyes. There was a dazzling incandescent light above his head, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. His heart was still beating wildly, and his body was trembling slightly. He subconsciously moved his toes and found that he could actually feel the existence of his lower limbs.
"You are so lucky." A cold voice sounded. Wang Yanfei tilted his head and saw Dr. Lin standing beside him with an ambiguous smile on his lips. "I thought the success rate of this operation was less than one percent, but I didn't expect you to survive."
Wang Yanfei's throat was dry and his mind was still a little confused. He tried to support himself with his hands, but felt a strange sense of lightness. He suddenly lowered his head and saw his body-pale, full of fine white scales, without a trace of hair, even his fingertips were covered with scales, and there was a sharp cold light.
He held his breath and tried to stand up. He found that his body was unbelievably light. The traction of the muscles was a little unaccustomed, but every step was exceptionally smooth.
Open the panel:
[Name]: Wang Yanfei
[Race]: Unnamed
[Attributes]:
Body: 2.3 (0.5-3.3)

[Ability]: Gift of Fate (3)
Refresh time: 05:12:34

Wang Yanfei glanced at his panel and found that the symbiosis column was gone.
Where was the liquid metal? His heart pounded as he repeatedly closed and reopened the interface. From Dr. Lin's perspective, it looked like he was madly jabbing at the air, which only made the scientist shake his head and leave the operating room.
Symbiosis… gone? No, impossible. The liquid metal had already merged completely with his body. There was no reason it would just vanish. His gaze landed on the newly listed skill—Blood Spirit Particles. He tapped on it.
[Blood Spirit ]: A special energy developed by Dr. Lin over ten years of research into spirituality. It enhances the body and strengthens the mind.
Vital Reinforcement – Body (Recovery) Correction +2, max limit 10.
Final Requiem – If a Blood Spirit wielder dies in proximity to another and willingly offers themselves, they can sacrifice all Blood Spirit Particles to resurrect the other wielder.
Wang Yanfei stared. He had never seen such detailed descriptions in his interface before. The first time he acquired the panel, it only showed basic information. Now, it was displaying intricate details.
Wang Yanfei was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the panel could display so much details this time. When he first got the panel, he couldn't open anything except basic information. Now it can display detailed information.
Wang Yanfei thought of the "gift of fate" that helped him for a long time at the beginning. Maybe he can try to check it now? Try to click it, but it's still blank, without even a hint. He frowned and looked at [Attributes] and [Race], but there was still no response.
He didn't think too much, moved to the [Skills] column, the first "Unnamed"...
The moment the fingertips fell, the text quietly emerged.
—— [Unnamed]: Liquid metal senses the crisis of life and death, enters the heart from the spine, and continuously transforms the host through the blood. The host can change its own structure and simulate anything. The upper limit of the simulation intensity is the upper limit of the "God" attribute.
Wang Yanfei's pupils shrank slightly.
His heart trembled slightly, as if a weak pulse spread out. His fingers moved slightly, and the skin on his palms became smooth and soft in an instant, as if he had returned to his former human form. His heart jumped suddenly, and he adjusted his thoughts again. The next moment, the scales on his fingertips reappeared, even harder and sharper than a blade.
"This..." He murmured in a low voice, his eyes fell on the panel, and he thought for a moment, "Let's call it - mimicry."
Then, he clicked on the second unnamed skill.
—— [Unnamed]: Your energy structure has undergone fundamental changes. Blood Spirit has completely replaced bioelectricity and become your main energy supply system. You can absorb energy substances around you for replenishment. Absorption rate: 0.23%/1s, affecting the attribute [God].
Wang Yanfei's eyes were still on the panel, thinking about giving this new ability a suitable name, but his action was interrupted by a dull sound of footsteps.
Dr. Lin pushed open the door, holding a huge full-length mirror in his arms. He glanced at him and saw that he was still drawing in the air. He shook his head again and then put the mirror heavily in front of him.
Wang Yanfei subconsciously raised his head and his eyes fell on the mirror-
He was stunned.
The face in the mirror was covered in fine, white scales. His pupils had narrowed into slits. His nose had flattened, his ears compressed against his skull, and even his fingertips were sheathed in hard, chitinous plating. He looked… more like an evolved lizard than a human.
"This..." He whispered in a low voice, his throat slightly tightened.
Dr. Lin's voice sounded from the side, "Your operation should still be in the theoretical stage."
Wang Yanfei's eyes narrowed and slowly looked at Dr. Lin.
"In short, your body has undergone a complete energy-driven reconstruction." Dr. Lin pointed at his chest. "In the past, your body relied on bioelectric signals to control muscles, blood circulation was pumped by the heart, and organ function depended on glucose metabolism and oxygen exchange. But now, this mechanism has been abolished and replaced by blood spirits - a biological power system that relies on 'energy flow' to operate."
He paused, raised his hand, and gently flicked Wang Yanfei's shoulder with his palm, making a crisp sound.
"Your scales, or your 'exoskeleton', are not ordinary stratum corneum, but a defense layer formed by the rearrangement of the molecular structure of the blood spirit on the surface of the skin. Its hardness can change with your energy intake. When you have enough energy, your defense will be greatly improved, but if the energy is exhausted... you will become more vulnerable than ordinary humans."
Dr. Lin continued: "And your current core metabolism has completely broken away from the traditional 'biological function'. In other words, you no longer rely on food and oxygen to survive. Your body will directly absorb energy substances in the environment as a supply, whether it is heat, radiation, or even high-energy particles. As long as you are in a sufficient energy field, your body can automatically recover and strengthen."
He paused and smiled, "Of course, don't be too happy too soon. Now you have a greater demand for energy, but at least it's not so easy to die."
Wang Yanfei was silent for a moment, "So, I am... no longer a human being?" His voice was very low.
Dr. Lin shrugged and said calmly: "Biological definition? You have already crossed it. Now you are more like a new human. Your blood, nerves, and even organ tissues have been replaced or reconstructed by blood spirits. But your consciousness is still there, your memory is still there, you are still Wang Yanfei, just... you have changed into a body that is 'more suitable for survival'."
