"Come on baby, you must be starving, come, let mommy feed you."

A gentle woman's voice sounded.

The next moment, Lin Zichen felt something soft being put into his mouth and he instinctively began to suck.

Having been born just over a month ago, he had a bit of consciousness, but not much.

He only knew to cry when hungry and to sleep when full.

His mind was basically a blank slate, not capable of complete thought.

[Energy +1]

[...]

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

Then, a character panel slowly floated out of the void.

[Name: Lin Zichen]

[Age: 33 days]

[Biological Level: Ordinary (Tier 1)]

[Biological Attribute: None]

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

He had transmigrated.

He had been reborn as a newborn whose brain was not yet fully developed.

And he had a cheat ability.

But after thinking about it for a bit, Lin Zichen felt tired and soon fell asleep.

"The little one eats until he's full and falls right asleep, mommy used to lose so much sleep taking care of you."

The woman gazed at the sleeping Lin Zichen in her arms, smiling with eyes full of love as she whispered.

* * *

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

During these days of development, Lin Zichen's consciousness became much clearer, with a more complete ability to think.

The first thing he did once he had his brain was to study his cheat ability.

He discovered it was an achievement-based cheat and he had triggered his first achievement task.

[Achievement: Accumulate ten thousand leg kicks]

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

[Accumulated leg kicks: 1024/10000]

Lin Zichen glanced at the progress bar, quietly lay in his crib and kept kicking.

"Baby, you are kicking your legs again. When did you wake up? Awake without crying or fussing, such a good boy making mommy's life easier."

His mother, Zhang Wanxin, entered the room and saw Lin Zichen kicking his legs in the crib, her face revealing a gratified smile.

Lin Zichen responded by smiling back at her.

Soon, his father Lin Yansheng also entered, his face full of expectation.

"The little one is so lively, clearly has some talent for sports, surely he will become a lofty Gene Fuser in the future, or at least a Cyborg."

Gene Fuser?

Cyborg?

What did those words mean?

Lin Zichen frowned slightly, realizing this world seemed quite different from his previous life.

* * *

Unknowingly, another month passed.

During this month, Lin Zichen averaged around 300 leg kicks a day, finally reaching the ten thousand total.

[Ten thousand leg kicks accumulated, achieved]

[Biological Attribute Obtained: Use It or Lose It]

[Use It or Lose It: As long as you continuously train the same body part, that part can infinitely evolve and grow stronger, but cannot break the limits of carbon-based life.]

After reading this, Lin Zichen immediately began kicking his legs again, eager to test the effect of Use It or Lose It.

[You are kicking your legs, Vitality +1, Leg muscle strength +1, Leg kick proficiency +1]

At the moment the notification appeared, Lin Zichen clearly felt a bit more strength in his legs.

Feeling slightly excited, he kicked harder.

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

[You are waving your hands, Vitality +1, Arm muscle strength +1, Hand wave proficiency +1]

When his arms tired, he switched to wriggling his body, moving all his muscles to achieve full-body training.

In this way, nearly a week passed.

Lin Zichen's body became much stronger, he could now sit up from the crib by himself, no longer only able to lie there staring at the ceiling.

Normally, newborns take around seven months before they can sit up by themselves.

But he was only just over four months old and could already do it.

* * *

Over the next half month.

Lin Zichen trained his limbs purposefully, soon mastering the skill of crawling.

[You are crawling, Vitality +1, Body coordination +1, Crawling proficiency +1]

To avoid appearing too monstrous, too inhuman and drawing unnecessary trouble.

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

He would only sneak down from the crib at night while they slept, practicing crawling in secret.

He crawled faster than the cockroaches in the room.

Quickly scurrying around in the dark corners.

* * *

A month later, Lin Zichen learned to walk.

[You are walking, Vitality +1, Body coordination +1, Walking proficiency +1]

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

He was still on Earth, but Earth had mutated, spawning many terrifying unknown creatures.

These unknown creatures were collectively called Aberrant Beasts.

To resist the Aberrant Beasts, humanity had spent decades developing two paths.

First, genetic modification, fusing with Aberrant Beast genes to obtain some of their abilities — using magic to fight magic.

Second, replacing flesh, ascending as part machine — using technology to defeat Aberrant Beasts.

And these two paths corresponded to Gene Fusers and Cyborgs.

‘So this world is that dangerous, I just hope I can grow up safely, evolve steadily and avoid any accidents.’

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

* * *

Half a month later.

Lin Zichen became more skilled at walking, soon he would be able to run.

Most newborns usually need about a year before learning to walk.

But he was only half a year old and was already nearly running, an overwhelming advantage.

‘In the blink of an eye, I’m already over six months old, now I can crawl in front of my parents without hiding it.’

Soon, Lin Zichen showed off his crawling ability in front of his parents.

"Husband, look, Chenchen can crawl and so fast too look at him go!"

Zhang Wanxin was very surprised.

Lin Yansheng was also shocked, but more than that he was thrilled and excited, his face full of smiles.

"Only six months old and already crawling and so fast, our son is a genius!"

Ding-dong!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

Lin Yansheng went to check, finding it was the neighbors who had just moved in a few days ago, bringing gifts for a visit.

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

They were a young couple.

The man held gifts and the woman cradled a baby girl.

Lin Yansheng accepted the gifts, warmly inviting the young couple inside to sit.

Soon, the two families sat down together, drinking tea and chatting happily.

They learned that their children had been born only one day apart, a remarkable coincidence.

Lin Zichen sat on Zhang Wanxin's lap, curiously observing the baby girl who was born one day after him.

She had big watery eyes, looking very cute.

The baby girl also curiously studied him and every time their eyes met she laughed, her smile especially bright.

After listening to the adults talk for a while, Lin Zichen felt bored, squirmed in Zhang Wanxin's arms, signalling to be put down.

Understanding him, Zhang Wanxin smiled, remarking on how active he was and placed him on the floor.

Once down, Lin Zichen quickly crawled around, training his body.

[You crawled 10 meters, Vitality +1, Body coordination +1, Crawling proficiency +1]

[You crawled 100 meters, Vitality +10, Body coordination +10, Crawling proficiency +10]

[You crawled 500 meters...]

Lin Zichen crawled rapidly, darting around the room like a mouse.

The baby girl's mother, seeing this, was shocked.

"Amazing, your baby learned to crawl so quickly, my Hanhan only just learned to sit."

Seeing the surprise on her face, Lin Yansheng and Zhang Wanxin felt a bit of pride inside, thinking it was wonderful to have a genius son.
