Chapter 1048: Chapter 764: Let You Be Weak First

When enhancing, the consumption of merit points and the items and materials strengthened are also related; this time, the enhancements were merely made on a few ’Eye Mirror Fragments’ which altogether are smaller than a palm.

However, the materials used for these Eye Mirror Fragments are not bad either; they have been enhanced using materials related to the World Tree before, and the consumption would be much lower if those materials were not used.

Even so, such enhancements cannot be reduced, as enhancing with the energy of the Sky Pillar is akin to laying the foundation.

Others can be less, but this cannot; the Universal Balm’s attributes are crucial when dealing with some enemies with special abilities; otherwise, it would be troublesome.

After this round of enhancement, the foundation is thoroughly prepared; no matter how much it gets used in the future, the equipment will maintain sufficient strength.

"All set!" Zheng Yichen re-equipped the enhanced Illusory Eye, blinked his eyes and tested the effect; as expected, there was no direct improvement in performance.

But after this series of enhancements, when facing the Devourers, he could manifest a set of Countless Swords Return to Sect with his Mental power to manifest skills and eliminate those Devourers.

Otherwise, if the Illusory Eye itself does not include the enhancement of the Sky Pillar crystal, it would cause a significant decrease in attack power, resulting in more effort for less effect.

As for using the Illusory Eye together with other equipment that has been enhanced with illusory crystals, that’s also viable.

The issue is whether there would be a compatibility problem when the Illusory Eye hasn’t undergone relevant enhancements, which might result in less effective attacks; but now that problem no longer exists.

After re-equipping the Illusory Eye, Ahn Ke nodded in satisfaction; this device had been of great help in her research over these days, and without it, she would find everything much more inconvenient.

She said to Zheng Yichen, "My research has yielded results. When will you have time?"

"Is it usable now?" Zheng Yichen was very much looking forward to the Life Preservation Technology, which could replace his use of serpent’s exuvia for blood replacement, as using serpent’s exuvia was too risky.

The damage dealt by the enemy might cost less than the consumption of the serpent’s exuvia’s effectiveness. Not having a large physique, he needed a more efficient method to activate his Catastrophe Curse.

"It’s ready, but I need to perform a new check on your body first."

Ahn Ke observed Zheng Yichen; his strength had increased so rapidly that he might have gained more during this significant engagement, making the previous data obsolete.

Of course, she didn’t find it bothersome to invest in Zheng Yichen, as this was a one-on-one investment, and others weren’t worth such an effort.

"Then let’s go back," Zheng Yichen said.

Having just returned, there was no need to rush back to the laboratory immediately; he still had some spoils of war to deal with.

Back at his residence, in the nearby laboratory, Zheng Yichen took out his gains from this mission.

In clearing out the Devourers, what he obtained was not only data on the Devouring Sky Pillar but also other knowledge plundered by the native Devouring Faction.

It was stuff from the victims’ world.

There were magic forms and other cultivation methods.

"It’s not quite appropriate for us to be here, is it?" Nelliwey hesitated.

"You also helped; why would it be inappropriate?" Zheng Yichen smiled at the Luminous Holy Maiden, "Come on, don’t be shy, feel free to choose."

Everyone present had an Illusory Eye, so Zheng Yichen displayed the information through the Illusory Eye, and there were even more physical items; the Devourers didn’t have time to take everything with them when they fled.

During the big purge, they also discovered many valuable items, which had no direct use for him but were good as collectibles or gifts, as these were things the Devourers couldn’t take with them in time from their homes when fleeing.

"No biological-type stuff?" Looking at the multitude of treasures Zheng Yichen presented, Ahn Ke asked.

"There are some biological samples, but let’s take them out later when we reach the laboratory."

Ahn Ke nodded, found a place for herself, and started perusing the database shared by Zheng Yichen via the Illusory Eye. As for the heap of items, she would casually pick a few to take back later.

Thinking this, she directly took some photos and asked Ahn Qi and Ahn Longling if there was anything they wanted.

If there was, she would take a few more items; if not, she would still freely choose.

The carefree manner in which Zheng Yichen displayed the items indicated his intentions; if not dealt with now, these items would just end up in some warehouse.

The only people who could use them here were the two witches, and their use wasn’t ordinary; they were likely to dismantle them to extract the raw materials.

"Brother Chang Qing, I’ll take these items," Qi Xiangyun picked out what she wanted first. The convenience of the Illusory Eye included AR enhancements, which manifested as displaying attributes in reality.

As long as the items were properly marked and the corresponding functions activated, one could clearly see the functions of many items at a glance, as if digitalized.

The functions of many items could be understood instantly.

The speed of selection was much faster now. What she chose were things that could help develop Qi Family Town, and there were also some special items similar to aura accessories.

For example, a statue, once placed in the right location, would have an effect over an area, making people within its range feel refreshed and invigorated, although the effect would not be very strong.

For ordinary people, that kind of influence was already quite significant, even a ten percent increase in concentration was a clear improvement.

"You guys take your time selecting, I’ll go to the laboratory with Ahn Ke first." Zheng Yichen smiled. He was never very interested in the items here anyway.

Coming back was also a better opportunity to clear out the built-in storage space. Since the things were already here, it was time to address the real business first.

In Ahn Ke’s exclusive laboratory.

Zheng Yichen took out the biological specimens he had brought back. These were collections from the Devourers, including various types of animals.

There were even some half-human creatures that looked somewhat abnormal.

"They’ve all been made into specimens; they probably aren’t of any use anymore, right?"

As Zheng Yichen sipped the tea prepared by Ahn Ke, he asked casually. He and Ahn Ke had found many biological specimens, but only so many had been preserved in the end.

The others? Other specimens were too cruel and twisted to be considered as collectibles.

"No, these specimens are well processed and have research value," Ahn Ke picked up a specimen of a little elf.

This little elf was not the kind that Zheng Yichen had encountered before; it was humanoid and looked more like a half-orc, belonging to the more natural and wild type of elves.

Through the Illusory Eye’s device that manifests mental power, she quickly checked the condition of these specimens. The specimens were well processed, and useful parts could be extracted from them.

Yet, seeing Zheng Yichen leisurely enjoying his tea, she felt an inexplicable helplessness. Better specimens were right in front of her; no matter how much she studied others, it was hard to surpass the one right before her.

But... Ahn Ke gently licked her lips. If she disregarded surpassing and aimed at studying for the purpose of nurturing pets, it could still bring her quite a bit of fun as usual.

"Let’s leave this for now and handle your matters first." After putting those specimens aside, these specimens could be combined into many new pets, but in the Misty City environment, some research was really just a matter of fate.

The thought of observing Zheng Yichen’s physical conditions thoroughly filled her with an uncontrollable urge. She couldn’t wait to put Zheng Yichen on the laboratory table.

The data on his body and the collection from earlier were consistent. Zheng Yichen’s constitution had already reached the limit of this world. As a template of the human race, there wasn’t any existence more perfect than him, at least not in the Misty City World.

Any adjustment might ruin this perfection, but Zheng Yichen could continue to progress in this state due to his special powers.

She couldn’t understand. Even if it was due to some aberrant factors, without becoming an aberrant creature but gaining some unusual abilities, it would still be difficult for an exception like Zheng Yichen to appear, right?

Moreover, the pond in the Misty City World is simply too small. Whether it is the world of magic she has come into contact with, or the world with the World Tree, they completely outclass the environment of the Misty City World.

The only good thing here is that there are plenty of phenomena.

"So it can be like this?" There’s no need for further collection of physical data; collecting more won’t make it any different than before, but the genetic blueprint information needs to be updated.

After the update and new comparison, as expected, there were slight changes from the last records.

This is the remarkable aspect of Zheng Yichen’s uniqueness. Even slight genetic variations in normal creatures cause a series of problems.

Genetic differences of about one percent or even lower, in terms of appearance, might not even be considered the same species.

But speaking of Zheng Yichen, it’s not that he has diverged much from humans, but rather he has further expanded and enhanced based on the human foundation. But normal human genetics simply do not have so many expansion interfaces.

Although Zheng Yichen’s blood is difficult to use for research, referencing this type of genetic blueprint can still provide a lot of inspiration for her,

She quickly noted it down.

As Zheng Yichen lay there, feeling like yawning, Ahn Ke directly sat on top of him.

Zheng Yichen instinctively supported her waist: "It’s not really appropriate here, is it?"

"No worries, this won’t affect the upcoming experimental results," Ahn Ke lightly bit Zheng Yichen’s neck. "Letting you, this ’perfect creature,’ weaken a bit first could make the experiment proceed smoother."

"You make it sound like a challenge. Can you really do it?" Zheng Yichen felt underestimated. His physique here in Misty City is relatively strong, but he is backed by the foundation brought by the Essence of Life.

His physical recovery speed is extremely high, a fixed value, and a hundred percent mixed recovery...

"I will do my best." Ahn Ke threw her jacket to the ground, tore off the band holding her hair, and placed her hand on Zheng Yichen’s chest, her face blushing with intense excitement: "You’re not thinking of letting me stay on top, are you?"

"I have quite a few things attached to me right now."

Ahn Ke pulled off the electrodes and precise probes from Zheng Yichen’s body: "No need for these, let’s get new ones!"
