Xu Zhi searched for a while, and the most outstanding creature he found was a beetle-shaped organism. "It has armor, is agile, and most importantly, its head is also covered in armor, without any hair... You are the lucky one, you will become the bald master of the future era, even several eras," Xu Zhi said. He picked up the ant-sized beetle with metal tweezers and put it into a transparent test tube. Then he searched for the food for this species and came to a brand-new experimental field with an area of only one square meter, and released them. Cell division speed: ten thousand times! In just a short period of time, their species multiplied crazily, with deaths and births, and the population suddenly reached more than ten thousand. Xu Zhi then picked up a large number of transparent test tubes and placed them on the ground. "Come on, be good and get into the tubes by yourselves, queue up and come in. Three hundred ants in one test tube." Influenced by the queen, the ants queued up very consciously and entered the test tubes. Then, Xu Zhi gave each test tube an experimental batch number. He diluted the blood of a chimpanzee, dropped a drop of blood into each test tube, and controlled the queen to let them pierce their skin by themselves. Their body fluids and chimpanzee blood fused together, causing a huge rejection reaction, leading to their instant death. He was not a sophisticated biologist, and what he had to do was simple and rough, even a child could do it: Survival of the fittest. Those who cannot withstand the blood rejection reaction will die! After two days of experimentation and numerous batches of test tubes, tens of millions of huge beetles died. Finally, three samples from test tubes 1042, 2041, and 2415 had mutated beetles that began to merge with chimpanzee blood, successfully enduring the genetic rejection reaction and surviving. However, not all survivors necessarily accepted the genes perfectly, they might also be species deformities. In the three test tubes, he selected the most successful sample, test tube 2041's creature. It was a miniature and delicate species smaller than an ordinary ant, with lush black fur, looking like a humanoid ape with black armor on its body. He named it "worm-ape". Unfortunately, it didn't have the baldness that Xu Zhi had imagined. It had a lush fur all over its body, and its head was also naturally covered with hair.

The humanoid ape in the transparent test tube pounded on the glass wall, roaring loudly in an inexplicable language.

"Listen, what are they saying?"

"Xie ding!" (sounds like "baldness" in Chinese)

"Xie ding!"

...

Gradually, the sounds transformed into a familiar word.

"????"

Xu Zhi was momentarily confused.

He wanted to make the protagonist go bald, but instead, he ended up with thick black hair all over his head. And now the ape was mocking him for being bald?

"Brother, that's going too far!"

He had wanted it to become bald, but instead it was born with a full head of thick black hair and even had the audacity to mock him for balding. "Brother, you've gone too far!" he thought, feeling as though he should crush it. "I may be the only creator in the world who's been mocked for baldness by the creature I've created."

It had only just been born, yet it dared to mock the great creator who had bestowed life upon it. Such insolence! This creature's nature was bound to be brutal, vicious, insane, and warlike, a scourge to all living beings. It had to be dealt with!

But upon further reflection, he decided to let it be. After all, with so many organisms having undergone natural selection, it was rare to find a mutant that could survive. Killing it now wasn't worth it. Instead, he would tolerate its snarky comments, make a note of it, and kill it later.

And so, the poor creature had no idea that its instinctual cries upon birth would earn the undying enmity of a vengeful and petty creator. In the future, its species would face countless calamities as a result.

"Young one, we'll settle this score another day," he said, taking a deep breath before putting it back in the experimental field to reproduce. He accelerated cell division by a factor of 10,000.

The strange ape-like insect quickly died, putting an end to its wicked life of "baldness." But in a short period of time, it rapidly reproduced a population of tens of thousands, walking on the ground like a dense swarm of black ants.

"Baldness!"

"Baldness!"

"Baldness!"

The exquisite, tiny insect apes walked aimlessly in the sandbox, running around the giant in the sky, lively and cheerful, emitting a collective roar.

"Are you still mocking me? Are you crazy?" Xu Zhi's veins bulged as he injected chimpanzee genes into the population. Now, he intended to introduce the second gene, the white ant gene. He was angry. "I will exterminate your wicked species."

But this time, he failed. He repeated the process seventy-something times, destroying the "baldness" life of tens of thousands of insects each time, but he couldn't successfully integrate the white ant gene even once.

"It must be because the species is too low-level to hold too many genes at once."

Helplessly, he had to put the white ant gene aside and start accelerating the division of these insects by 10,000 times, allowing them to multiply in large numbers and waiting for them to develop their own intelligence and civilization.

However, no matter how many generations of these insect apes reproduced, they still looked completely unintelligent, and continued to roar "balding, balding." After some thought, Xu Zhi suddenly realized something. "I'm so stupid. Even if cell division is accelerated by ten thousand times, if a person's lifespan is only a few seconds, how can they have time to think? To create civilization? Language? Writing?" "Do I need to adjust the cell division and evolution speed back to normal? But if they reproduce normally again, it will take thousands of years for humans to evolve civilization!" He began to search for information in the mother nest, believing that there must be a solution. Sure enough, there was one. According to the insect race's counting unit, one unit equals one year. Accelerating cell division speed by ten thousand times is equivalent to a day passing by ten thousand years. This kind of acceleration, where creatures are born, mate, and die in just a few seconds, leaves no time for thinking. The brain cannot handle such a terrifying division speed and can only rely on a huge base number, instinctual survival of the fittest, and super-fast adaptation to the environment. However, when cell division is adjusted to one hundred times the normal speed, another change occurs. At this point, the creature's brain can handle the one hundred times division speed, and the brain cells and neurons multiply one hundred times faster, accelerating thought processes. "Their bodies accelerate by a hundred times, and their thoughts accelerate by a hundred times too, which means that their time flow rate has increased by a hundred times..." Xu Zhi pondered for a moment, then ordered the mother nest: "In this area, adjust the cell division speed to one hundred times." After adjusting the cell division speed, the ant-sized insect apes' thought processes increased by a hundred times, and surprisingly, their movements also caught up with their brains. Because every cell in their body was rapidly dividing and releasing energy, their movements became super-fast, as if they were using an Eight Gates Formation. At this point, the entire sandbox seemed to be living in a time-accelerated world, frantically moving like a blur. He became curious and asked the mother nest assistant: "Can I undergo a hundred-fold cell division acceleration myself?" The mechanical response of the mother nest was:

"No, it's the unique ability of the Zerg race. After transplanting Zerg cells, you can perform a hundred-fold acceleration of cell division... At that time, brain cells will be in a state of a hundred-fold accelerated division, and you will feel that the world has slowed down a hundred times. Moreover, with a hundred-fold cell division throughout the body, powerful energy will be released, and movements will also catch up with accelerated thinking."

"Synchronized movements and thinking, equivalent to a hundred-fold acceleration of a person's entire life? A 'burning life' rampage state?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhi shook his head and said, "Now, if I accelerate a hundredfold, cancer cells will also divide a hundred times faster, and I will die of terminal cancer in an instant, won't I?"

At this point, Xu Zhi had spent two days experimenting with Zerg apes, while the large sand table on the other side had undergone a hundred-thousand-fold acceleration, equivalent to twenty thousand years having passed, and some powerful species had already emerged.

Trees towered into the sky.

A large number of giant species appeared, entering a horrifying era similar to the Jurassic period.

The largest were the beasts, the crustacean mammals with black disks on their heads had reached the size limit set by Xu Zhi, equivalent to that of a house cat.

This size, placed on the Zerg apes, which were only the size of ants, was like humans encountering a giant ancient tyrannosaurus rex that was nearly a hundred meters tall.

"I wonder how they will survive?"

After thinking for a moment, Xu Zhi began to directly slow down the hundred-thousand-fold cell division speed of the large sand table to a hundred-fold, which could be sustained by thinking, after all, it had to be synchronized.

"The experiment is complete. Find a place in the sand table to release these prehistoric Zerg apes."

Stepping on the blue shoe covers used in the laboratory and holding a transparent test tube with three hundred Zerg apes, Xu Zhi walked across the ground of the orchard, passing through green and lush small exquisite valleys and stepping on delicate small lush forests.

Trees began to topple, the ground shook, and countless species in the deep forest frantically fled.

"Right here."

Xu Zhi released these experimental Zerg apes into a large green tree-lined canyon to the south of the sand table.
