I really hate biology, I don’t know many of biology terms in this course 
The next morning, Yue Xingwen and his teammates gathered at the Faculty of Biological Science’s class selection hall on the 4th floor on time. Sure enough, they saw those teams who had passed the Genetic Mutation course yesterday.
After greeting everyone briefly, Yue Xingwen went to the tablet and pressed the class selection button——
[Compulsory Course: Cell Factory]
[Faculty: Faculty of Biological Science]
[Credit: 4]
[Examination Room Rules: Maximum number of examinees in the examination room is 12]
[Course Description: Humans initially start with a mature fertilized egg cell, divided into 2 cells, continue to divide in multiples of 2, and eventually produce 40~60 trillion cells, which make up the healthy human body all together. Cells are the basic units that make up the human body, come in a variety of forms such as, spherical, square, columnar, etc.]
[Examination Requirements: In this exam, you will become cells and participate in the growth and development process of the human body. If you make a mistake, the human body you are in may be deformed or even die]
[Note: All skills are disabled in this course, and all examinees will automatically receive the specific skill ‘mitosis’ from the Faculty of Biological Science]
[Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No]
Yue Xingwen looked back at his teammates and said, “Did you all read the examination requirements?”
The students looked at each other.
Xu Yishen narrowed his eyes, read from beginning to the end and said, “That is to say, we will become cells and participate in the growth and development process of the human body, right? The environment we are in is a human body, and if we make a mistake, will the mother’s body get sick?”
Yue Xingwen asked, “Is it necessary to use the knowledge of cell biology?”
Xu Yishen nodded and asked Liu Zhaoqing, “Does senior brother Liu still remember the knowledge of cells, tissues, embryos, and immunology?”
Liu Zhaoqing pressed his temple with a headache and replied, “I prefer surgery, all our surgeon’s hands are up and down with scalpel, where we do surgery on all the bad matter in the body. All those cells and immunology, I feel my head spinning just looking at them.”
Xu Yishen sighed lightly, “We also have cell-related classes in the Faculty of Biological Science, and I still remember some of the knowledge points.”

All the spheres retained only one pair of eyes in the front, with no eyebrows, nose or mouth.
Everyone looked at the ‘sphere-shaped teammates’ next to them, and widened their eyes.
Everyone had seen the cells that Xu Yishen had turned into before, and at this time, everyone had also become the appearance after senior brother Xu turned into a cell. Liu Zhaoqing happened to be right next to Yue Xingwen, and when he turned his head, he met a pair of familiar clear eyes.
He could not help but laugh and said, “Xingwen, you’ve turned into a ball!”
Yue Xingwen: “…”
So, without hands and feet, did they need to ‘roll’ to walk?
The consequence of everyone becoming a ball was that everyone now looked very similar and could only distinguish each other by their eyes.
The cold and indifferent eyes of the cell next to him were very familiar, and Ke Shaobin recognized him at a glance and asked, “Xin— Xin Yan?”
Xin Yan’s voice was cold as he replied, “En.”
The cells had no mouth, and the sound seemed to come from the center of the sphere. Xin Yan rolled his eyes and looked at Ke Shaobin. “How thoughtful of the library to give you a pair of glasses?”
Ke Shaobin was stunned, he had no hands to adjust his glasses, but he could feel that there was a layer of glass-like things in front of his eyes, the very same 900 degree glasses he had!
Upon hearing this, everyone looked back in unison——
Among the 12 cells, only Ke Shaobin still had a pair of glasses on his eyes, looking dumbfounded.
Lin Manluo teased him. “Are we turning into a Q-version painting style?”
Yue Xingwen laughed and said, “The cell with the glasses is so cute!”
Everyone: “…”
A ball with glasses was indeed silly but cute.
Jiang Pingce coughed lightly and returned the topic back, “What are we going to do with 12 cells huddled together?”
At this moment, a mellow male mechanical voice rang in everyone’s ears at the same time——
“Human beings are the most amazing species on this planet. However, all humans start out as a fertilized egg carrying the genes inherited by both parents. So, how does a small fertilized egg cell become a powerful and complex human being? Enter the cell factory and take a complete experience of the birth of a human being.”
Everyone: “…”
Liu Zhaoqing complained in a low voice, “Is this the <Approaching Science> program occupying the library?”
Xu Yishen rolled his eyes helplessly, “To completely experience the birth of a human being? Could it be that we need to cooperate as cells to complete the process of embryonic development? It’s not that bad!”
As soon as he spoke, he heard the mechanical voice ring out again, “Please follow the system prompts and cooperate with each other to complete the process of cell differentiation from the fertilized egg to the entire human body. During the examination, you will play the role of cells with different functions, and should one examinee make a mistake, the final differentiated human body will have various congenital defects.”
“If the baby is unable to be born, is congenitally deformed or dies during growth, the examination fails.”
“If the baby is born successfully and grows to 3 years old, the examination is passed.”
“Please work together for the sake of the child conceived by your Research Group.”
Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but want to curse.
They actually wanted them, a bunch of single dogs (except Zhuo Feng and Lin Manluo) to simulate making a child?!
Yue Xingwen said, “After the baby is born, do we’ve to wait until the baby grows to 3 years old? If a pregnant woman is pregnant for 10 months, it’s not like we are going to be here for 3 years and 10 months, right?”
The teammates next to him were shocked. Since they were all spherical at this point and had no facial features, they could only use their eyes to express their shock. One by one, their eyes were oversized.
Fortunately, the system prompted the next moment, “The process of cell differentiation will be accelerated and is not keeping everyone here for the 10 months of pregnancy.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The mechanical voice: “Examination has begun, the fertilized egg has now formed, initiate the cleavage mechanism. In the next stage, the fertilized egg will divide into an inner cell mass of about 100 cells, please perform the division task.”
Everyone was confused.
A moment later, Xu Yishen was the first to respond and said, “This course has disabled all skills, but everyone automatically gains the ‘mitosis’ skill from the Faculty of Biological Science. Now, our task is to split into about 100 inner cells. We only have 12 cells, so the first step is to continue dividing.”
Liu Zhaoqing suddenly realized. “So, next, the 12 of us have to divide the work to complete the process of differentiation and development of the embryo within the mother’s body to form a baby first?”
Xu Yishen said, “Yes, we are only in the very beginning of the cell mass now.”
Hearing this, Yue Xingwen had a headache and said, “Let’s build the child together, taking the first step, how are we going to split?”
Jiang Pingce quickly calculated and said, “Each of us split three times and become eight cells, forming a total of 96 cell clusters.”
After all, he was a science student and had not forgotten his knowledge of high school biology.
The cell clusters were about 100 and there was no strict limit on the number.
The process of cell division was to divide by the ‘nth power of 2’, one into two, two into four, four into eight, and their 12 people, each becoming eight cells, was closest to the test requirements.
When everyone heard Jiang Pingce’s calm voice, they had to say, “Let’s all split together.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Each person splits three times, come, let’s start!”
With the countdown of Yue Xingwen 3, 2, 1, their 12 cells simultaneously turned on ‘mitosis’ skill. Two Yue Xingwen, four Yue Xingwen, eight Yue Xingwen…
Eight identical spherical Yue Xingwen instantly appeared around, and all the cells opened their eyes wide.
Yue Xingwen blinked, and the 7 Yue Xingwen’s copy would also blink at the same time.
Everyone looked around at the densely packed cell teammates around them and got a headache.
This was a <Cell Factory>?
The wonder of nature was here, the human body, which was created by the continuous division and differentiation of a tiny cell. This time, they would collectively complete the task to ‘bring forth new life’.
The child of Research Group 183 must be born smoothly!

Thank you for the new chapter ❤
I am sure that in my country normal pregnant for 9 month, not 10…
Thank you for your translation 💙🤍🤍💙
I think it’s something I’ve noticed in Chinese novels in general, they always say 10 months for pregnancy. I’m guessing they just count the months differently from the way we do?
You mean the lunar months? I thought they were similar in duration to ordinary months…
No, I meant maybe they count what we consider zero month as the first month, something like that. I’ve heard that Koreans count their zero year as year one, so I thought maybe it could be something similar?
Maybe! The Korean age will now go out of official circulation and will not probably become so popular again…
Hope I didn’t bore you all too much 😅 Thanks for the update! ❤
😅💜
thanks for the biology lesson!! unfortunately, my brain refuses to absorb this knowledge bc its been years since i graduated lmao
This was very interesting to read! Thank you for your time to write such a fun fact! Ah I am looking forward to this Cell Factory course~( ≧Д≦)
i really like this arc!! i MTLed this a while back and i might have been confused by the science stuff but i did have fun reading about it
Ke Shaobin looks so cute!
…… M-m-mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell 😅
Ok ok, I get it. Time to be head empty again. I didn’t take biology in secondary for a reason you know?
The memories of struggling through my cell biology university classes flashed before my eyes 😭. Tbh given everyone is vague on this and the task seems quite info reliant I feel they could’ve not taken the course immediately after seeing the mission info and researched the stuff in the library before accepting the course next week kek
