Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 1

“Baby, you must be starving. Here, mommy will feed you some milk,”

a gentle woman’s voice rang out.

The next moment, Lin Zichen felt something soft stuffed into his mouth, and then he instinctively began to suckle.

At just over a month old, his mind was somewhat conscious, but not much.

All he knew was to cry when hungry and to sleep when full.

His thoughts were mostly muddled, lacking the capacity for complete reasoning.

[…]

As he drank more and more breast milk, Lin Zichen suddenly felt an itch in his head, as if his brain was growing.

Immediately after, a character panel slowly emerged from the void.

[Name: Lin Zichen]

[Age: 33 days]

[Biological Level: Ordinary (Tier 1)]

[Biometric Attributes: None]

Looking at the panel in the void, Lin Zichen finally realized something.

He had transmigrated.

Transmigrated into a newborn whose brain had not yet fully developed.

And he had acquired a ‘golden finger’.

Having pondered this for a while, Lin Zichen felt exhausted and soon fell into a deep sleep.

“Little guy ate his fill and went straight to sleep, truly envy-worthy. Mommy hasn’t had much sleep taking care of you,”

the woman looked at Lin Zichen sleeping in her arms and whispered with a smile full of love.

…

In the blink of an eye, over two months had passed.

After these days of development, Lin Zichen’s consciousness had become much clearer, possessing a fairly complete ability to think.

With his brain functioning, the first thing he did was to study his golden finger.

He learned it was an achievement-based golden finger, and he had triggered the first achievement task.

[Achievement: Accumulate 10,000 kicks]

[Reward: Obtain Biometric Attribute—Use It or Lose It]

[Number of kicks accumulated: 1024/10000]

Lin Zichen glanced at the progress bar and silently lay in the crib, kicking.

“Baby, kicking again?”

“When did you wake up?”

“You woke up without crying or fussing, such a good boy who gives mommy peace of mind,”

his mother, Zhang Wanxin, entered the room and, seeing Lin Zichen lying in the crib quietly kicking, couldn’t help but show a relieved smile on her face.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen smiled back at her.

Soon, his father, Lin Yansheng, also came in, full of expectation:

“The little guy is so lively and active, obviously has a talent for physical ability. In the future, he’s sure to become a lofty Genetic Integrator or at the very least, a Mechanically Modified Human.”

Genetic Integrator?

Mechanically Modified Human?

What are those?

Lin Zichen’s brows furrowed slightly, realizing that this world seemed different from his previous life.

…

Before he knew it, another month had passed.

In the past month, Lin Zichen had averaged 300 kicks a day and finally accumulated 10,000 kicks.

[You have accumulated 10,000 kicks, achievement reached]

[You have obtained the Biometric Attribute: Use It or Lose It]

[Use It or Lose It: As long as you continue to exercise a body part without stopping, that part can evolve and become stronger indefinitely, but cannot break the limits of carbon-based life forms]

Having read the content, Lin Zichen immediately began kicking his legs, eager to experience the effects of Use It or Lose It.

[You are kicking, Qi-Blood +1, leg muscle strength +1, kicking proficiency +1]

At the moment the prompt appeared, Lin Zichen clearly felt a surge of strength in his legs.

He was quietly thrilled and kicked even harder.

When he tired of kicking, he switched to waving his arms.

[You are waving your arms, Qi-Blood +1, arm muscle strength +1, waving proficiency +1]

When his arms grew tired, he switched to twisting his body, moving all his muscles to achieve a full-body workout.

Almost a week passed like this.

Lin Zichen’s body had become much stronger, able to sit up on his own from the crib, no longer having to lie there just looking at the ceiling.

Normally, newborns need around 7 months before they can sit up by themselves.

But he is only just over 4 months old and already able to do so.

…

In the following half-month.

Lin Zichen specifically trained his limbs and quickly mastered the skill of crawling.

[You are crawling, Qi-Blood +1, Body Coordination +1, Crawling Proficiency +1]

To avoid drawing undue trouble by appearing too otherworldly and too contrary to human nature,

Lin Zichen did not reveal his ability to crawl in front of his parents.

He would wait until his parents were asleep at night before quietly getting out of bed to practice crawling on the ground.

He crawled faster than the cockroaches in the house.

Moving swiftly in and out of the dark corners.

…

A month later, Lin Zichen also learned to walk.

[You are walking, Qi-Blood +1, Body Coordination +1, Walking Proficiency +1]

At the same time, by watching the news on TV, he gained a preliminary understanding of the world he lived in.

Humans are still on Earth, but Earth has mutated, and many terrifying unknown creatures have emerged.

These unknown creatures are collectively called Exotic Beasts.

To combat the Exotic Beasts, humanity has carved out two paths over the course of several decades.

One, genetic modification, fusing with Exotic Beast genes to gain some of the creatures’ abilities, fighting magic with magic.

Two, overcoming the frailty of flesh and blood with mechanical ascension, defeating Exotic Beasts with technology.

And these two paths correspond to the Genetic Integrators and the Mechanically Modified Humans.

“This world is so dangerous, I hope I can grow up safely, keep my head down to evolve, and avoid any accidents,”

Lin Zichen hoped in his heart.

…

Half a month later.

Lin Zichen’s walking became more and more proficient, and he estimated it wouldn’t be long before he could run.

Most newborns need to be around 1 year old to learn how to walk.

Yet he’s only half a year old and almost ready to run, truly a crushing advantage.

“Six months have passed in the blink of an eye, I can crawl in front of my parents now, no need to hide it any longer.”

He thought to himself.

Soon, Lin Zichen began to display his crawling abilities in front of his parents.

“Honey, look, Zi Chen can crawl now, and he’s so fast!”

Zhang Wanxin said in surprise.

Lin Yansheng was also surprised but even more so excited and thrilled, his face full of smiles as he said, “He’s barely over 6 months old and can crawl so fast, our son is a genius!”

“Ding dong!”

Suddenly, the doorbell of the house rang.

Lin Yansheng went to check and found that the neighbors who had just moved in a few days ago came to visit, bringing a gift.

Hearing the noise at the door, Zhang Wanxin picked up Lin Zichen, who was crawling around on the ground, and went to meet the new neighbors.

The visitors were a young couple.

The man was holding a gift, and the woman was cradling a baby girl.

Lin Yansheng accepted the gift and warmly invited the young couple to come in and sit down.

Afterward, the two families sat down in the house to drink tea and chat cheerfully.

During the conversation, they learned that their children were born just one day apart, a remarkable coincidence.

Lin Zichen sat on Zhang Wanxin’s lap, curiously sizing up the baby girl born a day after him.

Big, watery eyes, looking very adorable.

The baby girl was also curiously observing him, and whenever their gazes met, she smiled, her smile exceptionally radiant.

After listening to the adults’ conversation for a while, Lin Zichen found it boring and struggled a bit in Zhang Wanxin’s arms, signaling for his mother to put him down.

Zhang Wanxin understood what he meant and said with a laugh that he was really active before placing him on the ground.

Once on the floor, Lin Zichen quickly started crawling around, exercising his body.

[You have crawled 10 meters, Qi-Blood +1, Body Coordination +1, Crawling Proficiency +1]

[You have crawled 100 meters, Qi-Blood +10, Body Coordination +10, Crawling Proficiency +10]

[You have crawled 500 meters…]

Lin Zichen crawled quickly, zipping around the house like a mouse.

The baby girl’s mother, upon seeing this, exclaimed in surprise, “That’s amazing, your baby has learned to crawl so quickly, my Han Han has just learned to sit up.”

Seeing the astonishment on the other’s face, Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin felt a bit of pride internally, thinking how great it was to have a genius son.
