Women's Ranks (3)
Women's Ranks (3)
"Ah... is that so?"
She seemed really happy about it, but I wasn't sure if I should keep listening.
I wish she'd stop bragging about her womb already.
"Modern men have fertility rates close to 0%. So what does it mean that I still got pregnant? It means my womb, my fertilization ability, is specialist level, right?"
"Wow... that's impressive? Anyway, shall we talk about the experiments now..."
"Right? So we're the same kind."
Choi Ju-hee flashed her signature eye smile and pulled my arm in like she was hugging it.
Her breasts squeezed my arm tight.
The feeling of flesh mashing together was warm, softer than any woman I'd ever felt.
The fat itself felt a bit jiggly... like my arm was melting right into it.
'Muscles, melt away... the hot female scent melting my muscles...'
Fortunately, Choi Ju-hee seemed to remember her duties and led me along.
"We're both outsiders. So from now on, just trust me and follow my lead."
"If hugging my arm like that means what I think it does, feel free anytime, Madam."
"Hmm, no idea what you mean~"
Choi Ju-hee let out a pleased hum through her nose.
"Come on, let's go? Chief Researcher Uriel has some experiments prepped, so just join in."
And so I followed Choi Ju-hee to Research Building 1.
She was wearing low flats, and her ankles peeking out from under her white coat looked healthy.
Plus, her stride was so spirited—it contrasted nicely with her leg lines, which I liked.
On the way there, I finally figured it out.
What tests Uriel was gonna run on me.
What my role in those tests would be.
"S-X Virus carrier, primitive male's fertilization ability, physical recovery ability, and so on..."
Choi Ju-hee explained.
"We'll use Doyun-ssi's T-Hormone levels as the baseline. We'll administer experimental drugs or surgery to modern men, restore their abilities, then compare the two... In short, Doyun-ssi becomes the control group. If you've got healthy enough sperm to naturally impregnate a woman and T-Hormone secretion at a level for decent sex drive, it means Uriel and our Bio Center research team succeeded."
Choi Ju-hee raised her index finger and declared it brightly.
In other words, I was the target benchmark, the goalpost that Egen-nam had to reach.
"Uh, um... got it for now. What's first, ma'am."
"Ma'am? Hmm? What's that?"
"No, let's skip it... What's first, Researcher-nim."
"Ha! Researcher-nim... Ah, ahem, of course I am a researcher. I'm an experimental subject and a researcher!"
"And a good mother too."
"Ha! Right. I'm a good mother too. Hehe, since I got pregnant without artificial insemination!"
I'd just played along a bit, and this woman was totally hyped up.
Well, buttering up Choi Ju-hee more probably wouldn't get me any bean paste soup.
What can I say—I just wanna sling lame jokes whenever I see a beauty, no, any woman.
Whether they bite or not.
Rina always reacted so stiffly it was disappointing, but with Choi Ju-hee, it felt rewarding.
"Irregulars like us... wanna... make a baby later?"
"......"
Then, Choi Ju-hee whispered slyly right by my ear.
Eye smile with a slightly flushed face.
Probably a joke, but it didn't feel 100% like one?
"Make a baby... I wouldn't say no, wanna grab a room?"
"Haa! Primitive male, such intensity..."
"......"
"Modern men are all shy guys, so I always had to take the lead. This feeling's a first. Of course, since I had to participate in experiments, I had no choice but to be aggressive."
She giggled and said.
"But no matter what, mating outside the lab won't fly. Doyun-ssi's Eden Genesis property too, and doing whatever would be property damage... How about next time, through an experiment?"
"You like being watched by others?"
"Eum? Less that and more... mating with a man where no one can see..."
"Mating where no one can see?"
"Never done it. Always... cameras around, people watching."
"For real...? What's Uriel's deal, what kinda tastes."
"Even then, clothes all covered, riding drug-induced erections like this..."
"Like pissing in a chamber pot from on top, huh. Efficient."
I'd meant it a bit snarky, but Choi Ju-hee innocently tilted her head.
"Chamber pot? What's that?"
"Nah, good if you don't get it. Mother. Don't hike up your coat and strike a pose. If you wanna demo it when we're alone, I wouldn't say no."
"Aw, no can do. Even so, just the two of us..."
No clue what's in Choi Ju-hee's head, but 'alone space' sex seems off-limits there.
If I were some porn or smut comic protag, I'd engineer a situation and conquer her somehow.
For now, just watch.
"Then how about a massage next time we're alone. I'm pretty good."
"Ooh, massage... doesn't that need a lot of arm muscle? Impressive."
Choi Ju-hee started kneading my forearm with both hands.
"Keep rubbing like that and baby juice'll come out my arm too."
"Pfft, Doyun-ssi, you're hilarious. Must be the irregular thing—totally different from other guys!"
"Sperm's different too."
"Hahahahaha..."
We grinned like idiots, dragging out the wait time, but Choi Ju-hee didn't forget her job.
Coulda spun wheels like this all day.
"We'll establish baselines through a few tests ahead."
Choi Ju-hee flashed her beaming smile at me, then stretched out her arm.
We were passing a hallway with a glassed-in space.
Inside, a group of naked men were bent over some machine device.
"They making patties out of men's bones, flesh, and blood or what?"
I pointed with my finger, and Choi Ju-hee covered her mouth, laughing ho-ho.
"No. Doyun-ssi, your sense of humor... pure primitive. Hilarious, seriously, so wild!"
Future men were doing push-ups face-down on what looked like compression machines.
Push-ups for sure.
Some had knees on the floor, some flapped elbows like wings.
"Push-up or maybe pussy up."
I muttered cynically without thinking.
Choi Ju-hee didn't get it.
That's how disgraceful the test looked.
Sure, mechanical arms were pressing down on their backs while they did push-ups.
But even from a glance, the force wasn't that strong, and the weight looked light.
Yet their faces were red, sweating bullets... one was dry-heaving.
"5kg weight."
Choi Ju-hee said, pointing at the digital display.
Push-ups with 5kg on their backs.
I could do it one-handed.
In short, Uriel's 'T-Hormone' normal standard was me, so those guys—after drugs or surgery normalized their T-Hormones—had to perform at my level, Kang Do-yoon's level.
And from now on, I had to measure that level.
Not like before cryo-sleep, but I'd trained steadily the last few weeks.
Could lift at least dozens of kg.
Silently wishing those men rest in peace, I went inside.
But contrary to expectations, it wasn't just men inside.
Tank top women with rock-hard abs were jumping rope or pounding sandbags.
While the men sweated over 5kg pressure devices, they jumped with weight bags on limbs or lifted barbells several times heavier than 5kg at least.
All fit from workouts, no baby fat on faces.
And their faces brimmed with pride and superiority.
Especially their looks at the men getting squished into patties under 5kg devices.
When Choi Ju-hee and I entered, they all eyed us.
Guess I stood out size-wise here.
"Oh, it's Hee-soo-nim—"
Choi Ju-hee waved hi to one with light brown ponytail, slightly tanned skin.
"Kwon Hee-soo-nim. Special hire like me—"
"...Special hire? She naturally pregnant too?"
"Disappointing, Doyun-ssi. What're you saying... That's only for 'talents' like me."
"......"
No idea why her of all people, but Kwon Hee-soo definitely stood out.
Sleek waistline, abs that'd take a solid punch no problem.
"......"
"Who're you—?"
The woman smirked, then walked right up with blatant contempt in her eyes.
Of course, not at tail-wagging golden retriever Choi Ju-hee, but at me.
Meanwhile, I got excited spotting she wore boxing glove-like things.
'Boxing's gone, huh?'
Kept in mind maybe Uriel and Kang Rina lied to me.
Come to think, those women over there punching sandbags too?
Her gaze on me wasn't super positive, but if we could spar, I'd take the contempt.
Heart pounding, I offered a handshake.
"Boxing fan by any chance...?"
Kwon Hee-soo strode right up, planted a hand on her hip with a snap.
Rolled her eyes down at my outstretched hand.
A sleazy smirk curled her lips.
Of course, she didn't shake.
She was a complete fucking bitch.
