I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate

Chapter 198: Chapter 176: Older Sister, I Don’t Want to Struggle Anymore

Su Ze took a glass vial from his Storage Pendant. Inside were three drops of water from the Miracle Spring—what the Mother Tree had called the ”Evolutionary Liquid.”

Although the three drops of Evolutionary Liquid were in the same vial, they remained perfectly distinct, refusing to merge.

Su Ze poured one drop into the vial’s cap.

Staring at the drop of Evolutionary Liquid up close, Su Ze felt a powerful attraction to it, seemingly even stronger than what he’d felt when he touched the Tier Four Coral Worm Tentacles.

Almost uncontrollably, he raised his hand and poured the drop of Evolutionary Liquid into his mouth.

Before Su Ze could even taste it, the Evolutionary Liquid dissolved in his mouth. It didn’t travel down his esophagus; instead, it spread out directly from his mouth and into his entire body.

The Evolutionary Liquid was said to have many miraculous effects, some of which were not yet understood by anyone.

Su Ze could clearly feel something changing inside him. The energy from that single drop of Evolutionary Liquid merged with every cell in his body, and he was suddenly struck by an overwhelming hunger.

’Why am I so hungry?’

Puzzled, Su Ze rushed into the dining room. Seeing leftovers on the table, he didn’t even bother to heat them up, just grabbed them and started shoveling them into his mouth.

He was going crazy with hunger. It wasn’t a hunger in his stomach but one that emanated from his entire body, reaching straight into his soul. He felt as if he was about to be devoured by the sensation.

In a flash, he had devoured everything on the table, not leaving even a single drop of soup.

But that didn’t even relieve one percent of his hunger!

He ran into the kitchen, threw open the refrigerator, and started stuffing anything edible into his mouth, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

He didn’t even spare the two lemons in the fridge, swallowing them whole, skin and all, without a thought for the sourness.

Chocolate, cheese slices, ice cream... things he normally didn’t eat much of were now delicacies. He drank ketchup straight from the bottle and gnawed on raw broccoli. Raw meat, salted fish... When Su Ze saw these, he felt the impulse to stuff them into his mouth as well, but he barely managed to stop himself.

’Something’s wrong. This isn’t right!’

’I’ve eaten so much, so why don’t I feel full at all?’

Forcing himself to endure the hunger, Su Ze realized something must be wrong with him.

He activated his ”Eye of Truth” skill, then continuously narrowed his scope of perception, focusing it on the surface of his own body like a high-powered microscope.

In his mind, he could suddenly perceive his own epidermal cells with perfect clarity.

He discovered that his cells were dividing rapidly!

One cell split into two, two split into four, but each new cell looked malnourished and shriveled.

It took four of the new cells combined to equal the size of one of the original cells.

A sudden realization dawned on Su Ze. ’It’s not food I need—it’s energy!’

He hurriedly rummaged through his Storage Pendant and, a moment later, pulled out a bottle of Strengthening Elixirs.

He had bought them a while ago but never used them, leaving them forgotten in his Storage Pendant.

He poured out a handful of Strengthening Elixirs, about seven or eight of them, and swallowed them in one gulp.

The Strengthening Elixirs dissolved almost instantly in his mouth and were immediately absorbed by his body. He clearly felt his hunger ease.

But only for a second or two.

’It’s nowhere near enough!’

RATTLE RATTLE! Su Ze grabbed the bottle of Strengthening Elixirs and upended it, pouring dozens of them into his mouth.

This dose finally had an effect. Su Ze observed his cells beginning to plump up, and his body seemed to have grown a size larger.

But it still wasn’t enough. Su Ze still felt hungry.

He found two more bottles of tonics in his Storage Pendant. They were specifically for those in the Cocoon Stage, which he had bought back in Luofan Country but never had a chance to take.

Now, he chugged both bottles one after the other.

’Other people chug alcohol, but I’m fucking chugging medicine! Who’s more badass than me?!’

After downing the two bottles, Su Ze felt it might still not be enough. He ran into the courtyard to find Mrs. Yun. ”Mrs. Yun, do you have any more tonics? Quick, let me have some!”

Mrs. Yun jumped in fright. ”Are you going through a second growth spurt?”

The current Su Ze had been uniformly scaled up a full size.

Su Ze also noticed that after he swallowed the two bottles of medicine, his cells began to divide with even more vigor.

The energy from the two bottles was quickly depleted, and the hunger returned like a tidal wave.

”No time to explain! Quick, give me the medicine!”

”But this tonic is for the Butterfly Stage...” Mrs. Yun said, taking out a vial with some hesitation.

Su Ze snatched the vial from her hand, opened his mouth, and began to pour. ’A mere Butterfly Stage tonic? As if I can’t handle it.’

He had to admit, the Butterfly Stage tonic was truly effective. The abundant energy completely satiated his hunger.

Then, the cells throughout his body began repeating the process: divide... expand to their original size... then divide again.

Su Ze’s body continued to expand throughout this process.

A moment later, he was already as tall as the second story of the villa.

’What the hell is this Evolutionary Liquid doing to me...’ Su Ze was completely baffled. As his cells divided, their numbers grew, and since each cell expanded back to its original size, his body naturally grew along with them.

He understood the logic, but fucking *why*?!

’Is it trying to evolve me into a ”giant”?’

’I don’t want this! At this rate, I’ll probably never find anyone in the world who’s... physically compatible with me anymore.’

Mrs. Yun had a look of shocked disbelief. After confirming that Su Ze’s life wasn’t in danger, she relaxed a little. She then casually took a giant-sized photo of him, marveling, ”Kids these days!”
