Chapter 17

After realizing that he was about to "change," Feng Yi no longer had the heart to pay attention to anything else.

Online, the Yueshan Little Green Dragon incident continued to escalate.

The official website of the World United Defense Organization posted updates on the investigation of the incident and continued to follow up. The publicly available information included the picture of Feng Yi pinching the snake and a video of the Little Green Dragon after treatment.

In the video, the coiled Little Green Dragon was hard to spot at first glance, with only the white tip of its tail standing up and swaying. It seemed that the treatment had been very successful.

The Yueshan Little Green Dragon incident attracted the attention of people from all over the world, and more researchers joined the Little Green Dragon research project to study its evolutionary code and find methods to repair the ecological chain.

Non-researchers also began to visit Yueshan as a tourist destination, or to stay there for a while with their families and friends. The fact that the Little Green Dragon, believed to be extinct in the wild, had grown so large indicated that the environment in Yueshan was truly excellent.

For a while, foreign faces could be seen everywhere in the Yueshan scenic area, and all the farmhouses and hotels around the area were fully booked.

On news, social media, and short video platforms, the image and video of Feng Yi pinching the snake spread widely, with views and comments skyrocketing.

Since Feng Yi did not wish to reveal his identity, the name on the investigation report submitted by the Defense Bureau was replaced with the letter F, and the World United Defense Organization's official website referred to him as "Mr. F."

Online, people were much more casual, finding the name "Mr. F" awkward.

Thus, the name "Yueshan Snake Pincher" spread.

Later, someone pointed out that the word "pincher" could be ambiguous and could be omitted. As the name spread, it gradually became "Yueshan Snake Guy."

Eventually, after being used frequently, it was shortened to "Snake Guy."

"It's a good thing it was Snake Guy. If someone else had encountered the Little Green Dragon, they might have panicked and smashed it with a fishing rod, and it's uncertain whether the Little Green Dragon would have survived."

Feng Yi's reaction to all this was: don't listen! don't look! don't know!

Qian Feiyang felt it was a pity that if Feng Yi hadn't worn sunglasses and a mask, he could have become famous overseas!

Seeing that Feng Yi really had no intention of becoming an internet celebrity or a star, Qian Feiyang and Wu Ji no longer mentioned it, but they privately lamented what a great opportunity for fame it was.

Feng Yi didn't care about any of that. He spent two days in fear and trepidation.

During these two days, he bought scientific books and journals online, looked up all kinds of information about snakes, and gained a lot of strange and useless knowledge.

On the morning of the third day, when Feng Yi woke up, he felt like his head was about to explode, and his vision was blurry.

"Finally, it's starting?"

He wiped his face, lightly tapped his forehead, and walked to the bathroom, splashing cold water on his face and looking in the mirror.

His expression was blank, his face pale, but there was nothing else different.

He blinked hard to clear his vision, picked up his toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste, and started brushing his teeth...

"Ow!"

It felt like all his teeth had suddenly developed severe pulpitis, and the intense pain seemed to explode in his head, momentarily stopping his thoughts.

Feng Yi clutched the toothbrush and took a while to recover.

The drowsiness he had when he woke up was completely dispelled by the pain!

He threw away the toothbrush and cup, leaned close to the mirror, and opened his mouth to look at his teeth.

The originally slightly pointed but not prominent canines had grown twice as long overnight and were even sharper!

When his mouth closed, the two overly long teeth curled slightly inward.

Feng Yi tried to control the two teeth to fold back and retract, and he could also make them pop out, but the cost was a pain in the pulpitis multiplied by twenty!

He endured the pain and tried twice before giving up.

The first pain to endure on the path of evolution—√toothache

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and called the old butler on his phone.

The old butler, as always, answered the call immediately, as if he was always by the phone.

"I've grown teeth! Ouch—"

When Feng Yi spoke, the two sharp teeth moved a bit uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but hiss in pain.

"It hurts so much! Ouch—"

The old butler chuckled softly on the other end of the line, in a very good mood, "It's normal. At first, it's like this. The pain will lessen over time, and you'll get used to it."

Feng Yi: "..."

Is this human talk?!

And the pain will lessen over time, with a full mouth of pulpitis and two enhanced fangs, this is not something an ordinary person can endure!

"How long will this toothache last? Will painkillers work?" Feng Yi asked.

"Painkillers won't work. How long it will last depends on you. What kind of teeth did you grow?"

Feng Yi said, "Two long, sharp fangs, where my canines used to be, they've mutated!"

Butler: "Oh, so they're venomous fangs."

Feng Yi shuddered, "Are they poisonous?"

The old butler calmly said, "It depends on whether your venom glands have developed. If they have, they will be poisonous."

"If I bite myself or accidentally release venom, will I be poisoned by my own venom?"

The old butler thought for a moment, "Theoretically, during high-level evolution, you will develop antibodies to counteract your own venom."

Feng Yi: "...'Theoretically'?"

The old butler: "I've never seen it, so if you want to know, you can try biting yourself. I'll watch you and get you medical help immediately if there's an emergency."

"I might as well try it right in front of the hospital! If I get poisoned, I can run in for help!" Feng Yi said sarcastically.

"Good idea." The old butler sighed.

Feng Yi: "..."

"Are they groove teeth or tubular teeth?" the butler asked.

Feng Yi: ???

After searching on his phone for a while, he understood.

Groove teeth have grooves on the outer side. They are divided into front groove teeth and back groove teeth.

Front groove teeth are mostly highly venomous, like the famous cobra family.

Tubular teeth are larger and longer, hollow, like syringes, but can be hidden.

Feng Yi looked at his teeth carefully in the mirror, moved the two long teeth, and tried to retract them, enduring the pain of pulpitis multiplied by twenty.

"They're tubular teeth. Ouch—"

The old butler's voice dropped slightly: "Oh~"

Feng Yi: "..."

Don't give me that subtle "oh"!

The old butler's tone was a bit regretful: "Tubular teeth may not be as cute, but they are more convenient for you. You can retract them. When they fold into your mouth, you don't need to wear a mask."

"I still need to wear a mask." Feng Yi asked again, "Does growing these venomous fangs have any symbolic meaning?"

"No." The old butler said, "How they grow is determined by your genes, and how you use them is up to you."

Feng Yi sighed in relief: "That's true, I'm such a kind person..."

The old butler seemed to want to say something but held back.

Feng Yi opened his notes: "In my current situation, what should I pay attention to in terms of eating and drinking before the toothache disappears?"

The old butler thought for a moment, "For the first few days, eat liquid food, minimize chewing, and take care of your oral hygiene. You still need to clean your teeth. Use children's toothpaste."
