Chapter 1052: Chapter 767 Local Discovery_2

"Then I’ll just watch from the side." Ahn Qi didn’t say anything else and focused on being an observer, watching Zheng Yichen undergoing the experiment.

The procedure seemed so crude and rough that even to her, a layperson, it felt outrageous, looking akin to a veterinarian performing surgery on an animal.

Making Ahn Ke do such things, Ahn Qi thought that Ahn Ke would treat anyone else as mere experimental material to be used up.

But with Zheng Yichen, Ahn Ke was very serious. After adjusting the state of the individual, she cut off small pieces of flesh from different parts of Zheng Yichen’s body.

Even with preparation, after the Phenomenon disappeared, Ahn Ke’s brows were still slightly furrowed.

Ahn Qi wasn’t in a hurry to leave either, since Zheng Yichen was here, she could go back with him later; it could be considered a special trip.

The premise is that the experiment Zheng Yichen is undergoing succeeds.

"Rest for now." Ahn Ke sighed, speaking to Zheng Yichen, who had over a hundred ’patches’ on his body.

All of Zheng Yichen’s patches were left after cuts were made, and in this low-level world, drugs with Special Powers were useless.

Even if there were special drugs that overdrew life essence that could work, there was no need to use them on Zheng Yichen.

"It didn’t work?" Ahn Qi was very concerned about this matter, after all, she and her sister were now bound with Zheng Yichen, the Proxy Agent.

During family gatherings, her father also hinted at some matters. If they really were to split from the family, they would stay behind, but this wasn’t something happening immediately.

If possible, the Ahn family side would prefer to have a descendant from Zheng Yichen, to raise and then take with them when they split from the family...

A very realistic idea, even though Ahn Ke had already written a related report, the quality gap between lifeform levels was too wide, and the idea of having his descendant in the Ahn family was beautiful but naive.

Completing this family task was difficult, but other than this task, well... Maintaining the status quo would be good enough.

That’s why Ahn Qi placed great importance on Zheng Yichen’s improvement.

"It’s not that it didn’t work, it’s just that there is too little successful material." Ahn Ke looked at a few pieces of flesh stored in the container.

The environment was suitable enough to significantly increase the success rate of the Life roundworm’s integration, but the resulting product was less than one-tenth.

Is that a lot?

Not really, these products can’t just be stuffed back in and be expected to work; whether they can be transformed by Zheng Yichen into beneficial traits depends on whether his body will immunize against those pieces of flesh.

The acquisition of the Essence of Life is about Zheng Yichen repeatedly distorting small areas of his body to retain advantages.

The Life roundworms are nowhere near enough to cause distortions in Zheng Yichen, the old methods are not useful now.

"Shall we continue?"

"No more continuation, let’s proceed with the first round of transplants." Ahn Ke shook her head, she wasn’t worried about Zheng Yichen developing distortions, she was concerned about the insufficient quantity of flesh inducing changes, not allowing Zheng Yichen to complete the transformation.

The pieces of flesh that had successfully integrated the Life roundworm were clearly marked by her, matching every patched area on Zheng Yichen’s body.

When the flesh was being stuffed back in, due to her exquisite skills, even without sewing, the wounds looked like the triangular cuts of a watermelon.

Push them back, and only a fine seam was visible.

"So, I just shouldn’t move around?" Zheng Yichen looked at the places on his body covered with transparent medical tape, the sensation of having flesh cut from his body and then stuffed back in was strange, no matter how he thought about it.

"It’s fine, the places I chose don’t really affect movement." Ahn Ke said, "But we’re going to be staying here for a while now."

Going back was not impossible, but after returning, she was worried about Zheng Yichen’s high lifeform level immediately correcting the anomalies due to the environment upgrade.

In this world, Zheng Yichen’s lifeform level was still very high, but much lower compared to Hazy City.

The success rate of the Life roundworm’s parasitism speaks volumes.

In such an environment, after undergoing a one-time integration with a large amount of Life roundworms, Zheng Yichen’s flesh and blood showed no signs of abnormal mutation, on the contrary, those Life roundworms were still outmatched by Zheng Yichen’s flesh and blood.

After the parasites were integrated, they were assimilated as nutrients by that tissue before they even got the chance to remodel themselves.

"Then let’s just treat it as a vacation," Ahn Qi extended a hand to touch the ’wall’ beside her. The tactile sensation was similar to touching a curtain, offering a certain resistance to touch but not proving difficult to penetrate.

As a barrier against air, the wall was more than sufficient.

This motorcycle... to Ahn Qi, it was somewhat indescribable. Originally, she was the one who sponsored it to Zheng Yichen, but following his experiences, the vehicle gradually began to take on an outrageous transformation.

"I’m going to check the surrounding area," Ahn Qi reorganized her equipment and left the place. Since they had to stay here for a while, it was necessary to observe the surroundings well.

As she left, several drones activated and moved with her, and Ahn Qi also saw the request for access popping up in her Illusory Eye.

She chose to accept, and immediately, several new projection screens appeared in her field of view showing the perspectives of the different drones.

"Hehehe— high technology..."

Ahn Qi chuckled softly, only after encountering more worlds did she realize just how convenient true high technology could be.

Such assistance made her investigation much easier; the various forest creatures she encountered along the way were all marked, and after being recorded by the Illusory Eye, corresponding samples were obtained.

She soon came across a corpse...

"Ahn Qi has discovered something new," Zheng Yichen, sitting still, watched the imagery on the projection screen that Ahn Qi had shared.

That corpse was wearing some kind of exoskeleton armor, which had been partially crushed by some huge creature.

At the wound, there was some gel-like substance, but the corpse had not undergone much decomposition, although according to the information displayed on the projection screen, this person had been dead for over a week.

"Oh, high technology," Zheng Yichen lightly arched an eyebrow and said, "Have you encountered such a world before?"

"That’s a pointless question," Ahn Ke, who was mixing up potions, glanced at Zheng Yichen. She inserted a tiny needle into a grafted piece of flesh on Zheng Yichen’s body and after administering a measured injection, she then proceeded to take a blood sample from another area.

She couldn’t help but shake her head; the result wasn’t good. Even after using various methods to weaken Zheng Yichen’s ’immunity,’ the grafted flesh still had parts corrected by Zheng Yichen’s body.

So far, there remain three areas that were teetering on the edge, struggling to hold on.

Even in a low-grade environment, the flesh and blood cut from Zheng Yichen would heal seamlessly back onto the wound without any need for stitches if placed properly, showcasing its ability to regenerate autonomously.

A unique being indeed, even in the lowest of environments, still demonstrates extraordinary traits.

"Well, we’ll ask Ahn Qi when she gets back," Zheng Yichen said with a smile.

"It’s not just about this incident, I also wanted to test something else with you," Ahn Ke said seriously.

"... I don’t think it’s a good idea," Zheng Yichen thought of what it might entail.

"Maybe a low-grade environment is the breakthrough for ensuring that strong individuals normally conceive offspring," Ahn Ke stated earnestly.

Zheng Yichen waved his hand dismissively; this wasn’t a valid excuse to use him as a juicer on a regular day.

Moreover, Ahn Qi had already encountered a native corpse. From the traces on the body, many details could be discerned, such as the exoskeleton armor on the victim and the part of the wound where flesh had been bitten off, and so on.

All of which suggested this world’s development was far from ordinary.

Ahn Qi, the leader of the Alien Phenomenon hunting group, is far from weak in actual combat capability. Having found the corpse, she quickly extracted additional information from it.

Besides the time of death, other details on the corpse were well-preserved, including the gel sealing the wound which carried a distinct odor.
