Chapter 135: Genius

After the density was reduced by half, Chen Mu found it effortless to control the paper. Both precision and speed continuously improved with his skillful manipulation.

Consequently, as time went on, He Ying and the other two still couldn't catch up to Chen Mu's speed.

Chen Mu separated another section of paper.

However, it wasn't until Zhu Hao, Sun Yuan, and Du Jiajia joined in that the six of them barely managed to keep up with his speed.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

After a full half-hour passed.

The original stack of paper was almost depleted.

In its place,

were a total of 43 rolls of paper.

Neatly piled on the table.

...

Chen Mu let out a long breath. He hadn't experienced a headache for a long time, but now it was slightly starting to bother him.

Clearly, the consumption this time was indeed quite substantial.

Tang Jing took a roll of paper in her hand and observed it closely.

"The alignment on the sides is relatively simple, but achieving such uniform thickness throughout is indeed quite remarkable."

"It was a bit difficult at the beginning, but gradually became easier, just like mass production." Chen Mu also picked up one of his rolls, feeling quite satisfied with the results.

"It's almost the same as the previous paper rolls," he said.

He Ying, rotating his sore wrist, couldn't help but sigh.

All six of them were exhausted.

"It's a bit slippery, and the texture is still slightly lacking, but it's already quite good and definitely better than what we had before." Dong Junwei also nodded.

Tang Jing said, "There's no way around it; printing paper and toilet paper still have significant differences."

"The craftsmanship is indeed quite different," He Ying remarked.

Tang Jing nodded, saying, "Yes, and in order to achieve a certain level of softness, short wood pulp fibers are added to toilet paper, which changes the overall texture. So, no matter what Chen Mu does, he can't reach the true level of toilet paper."

"The absorbency is also a bit lacking."

"It's hard to explain, but it's somewhat like newspaper..."

"It's good enough, it's good enough." Wei Dalei grabbed a roll of toilet paper and rushed to the restroom.

Although the number of people had increased to 17, the 43 rolls of paper would last for a while. After all, it was only for bathroom use, and for everyday activities like wiping mouths and hands, everyone wasn't that extravagant.

...

Outside, it was pitch black. Without the sun, it was difficult to estimate the time during the night. Although they could roughly gauge it from the moon's position, only Tang Jing could do it accurately.

However, it was not practical to have Tang Jing go outside in the middle of the night.

"That's great! How many horns can you grow now?"

As Chang Junyan's ability became more apparent, he had been scratching himself more frequently. Almost every time Chen Mu saw him, he looked like a monkey, scratching all over, and it even made others feel itchy just by watching.

Of course, developing and honing their abilities were always encouraged in the Ark Project. Even for Xue Xu and Chen Mu, they focused on encouragement, although they asked him to train far away.

Currently, out of the 17 members of Project Genesis, only three individuals remained unawakened.

Qian Fei, Feng Xiaoyu, and Tang Jing.

And the most awkward case was Zhu Hao.

Since Chang Junyan had proved his abilities, Zhu Hao was the only one left with his unicorn. Nobody knew what it was for, and during this period, Zhu Hao seemed to feel the pressure and was constantly conducting various tests.

People often saw him exposing the horn whenever he had the chance, then poking here and there. Now, there was a row of small holes in the corner of the wall, giving the appearance of musical staff lines – all courtesy of Zhu Hao's work. This made Dong Junwei have to advise him to find a different way, fearing that he might end up poking through the wall one day.

As of now,

Zhu Hao's horn had two distinctive characteristics.

Firstly, it was extremely tough.

No matter what it poked against, it always won. Moreover, it seemed to lack nerves or tactile sensation on the surface.

Of course, this thing wasn't sharp; it was somewhat like a bull's horn.

Secondly, growing the horn didn't seem to consume much mental energy. As long as he was willing, Zhu Hao could keep the horn out all day long, which was different from other abilities that couldn't be sustained for long periods.

The issue was that the horn had always been this size; it didn't increase in size due to Zhu Hao using it all the time.

It seemed to show no sign of growth.

In this regard, not even Tang Jing could offer any advice, and gradually, she lost interest in it.

In contrast, Chang Junyan was progressing quite rapidly.

"I can now grow twelve horns!" Chang Junyan boasted.

"So, what does that have to do with your walking posture?" Chen Mu was still puzzled.

"Haha, you didn't think of it, right? I directly grew a few bumps on the soles of my feet. This way, I can use them to scratch and rub against my shoes while walking, killing two birds with one stone, right?" Chang Junyan said excitedly.

Chen Mu was left speechless.

"You're truly a damn genius!"
