The moment the lab exploded, Lin Yanshu was swept away by bronze mycelium and transmigrated to the bustling streets of the Ming Dynasty. He discovered that the miniature spectrometer in his arms could decipher ancient tomb murals, while the secrets of genetic engineering lurked in the roar of the steam engines on the street.

It turned out the entire Ming Dynasty was nothing more than a mutated specimen in a petri dish maintained by a higher civilization!
