I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 1055 - 770: When Did the Environment Get So High?

Chapter 1055: Chapter 770: When Did the Environment Get So High?

Ahn Qi saw the blood vessels on the flesh twitch imperceptibly, as if the flesh detached from the body was undergoing autonomous growth. However, as soon as any slight anomaly appeared, it would quickly revert back to normal.

"Is that flesh producing mutations?"

"I actually hope they would mutate." Ahn Ke glanced at the flesh in the container, which was slightly wriggling.

She had tried many ways to stimulate this kind of flesh, but Zheng Yichen’s was too stable to mutate, showing at most these minor changes.

This could be considered a change after losing control—the mutating flesh, influenced by the Life roundworm, was undergoing changes. If this process went smoothly,

this lump of flesh could evolve into a human-shaped mass. With some luck, it might even develop into Zheng Yichen himself. However, the overly stable state of the flesh made this level of transformation unattainable.

Even a grotesque mutation like a tumor growing a human had great significance for her.

Mutants could be used as the original species.

"Let’s not talk about that now, I’m going to prepare a new potion." Ahn Ke didn’t waste too much time, processed the raw materials, performed an analysis, and tested to ensure the effects were close enough.

She then began the subsequent processing. This substance could be regarded as a toxin that significantly lowers the individual’s physical quality and immunity. Such a substance must be used with caution elsewhere.

But now that they were in the Dusk Territory, using this substance came without reservations. Even if it severely affected Zheng Yichen, he could undergo related treatments using Dusk.

As for using Life roundworm as enhancement material... well, these creatures could not be used as such.

Zheng Yichen inquired with the Dusk nun here, and discovered that the enhancement by the Ark of Life was very expensive, costing 240 merit points. After hearing the price, Zheng Yichen immediately gave up.

How many merit points did Du Gang use when he utilized his own blood as enhancement material to achieve Burst Mode?

Now a single enhancement of the Ark of Life costs over two hundred merit points, almost worth half of a Unity of Heaven and Man. Is that not outrageous?

Well, okay, it is quite outrageous indeed. When seriously considered, this price is actually quite reasonable. Why?

It’s called the Ark of Life for a reason; in case of disaster, such a powerful being could gather all the biological Life Imprints in the world.

Taking those life forms to seek refuge... it’s like an alternative way of saving the world. Can Unity of Heaven and Man achieve this magnitude?

However, this kind of enhancement is just a thought away.

Green, black, and pink liquids flowed through the needles into Zheng Yichen’s body.

Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but curse out loud, feeling completely numb.

That sensation of strength quickly vanished, and he felt weak and powerless.

"How are you feeling now?"

"I feel terrible," Zheng Yichen said, describing his sensations. After staying silent for a while, Ahn Ke nodded.

"That’s still too light, I’ll increase the dosage." Based on Zheng Yichen’s description, he still seemed to be in a rather healthy state.

The drugs she used would be lethal for an ordinary person, but Zheng Yichen could really take it.

But as long as the drugs took effect, that was enough. Every world has its advantages, and she didn’t come without bringing some body-suppressing drugs from her own world.

However, after comparative testing, those from this world seemed more suited.

The intensity of this world’s environment is inherently not high, yet the strength demonstrated by mutant lifeforms is not weak, which implies that these mutants have decent potential.

Especially their venom or secretions could likely exhibit effects not weaker in harsher environments.

Biological toxins are also influenced by environmental intensity.

Biological toxins have a greater impact on Zheng Yichen, although he has a resistance to poison. Even in such a diminished environment, his resistance did not completely disappear.

Only a super lethal dose made Zheng Yichen sweat profusely and look half-dead.

Ahn Qi, watching, felt a headache coming on: "I’m starting to wonder if you’re taking the opportunity to swindle him."

As Ahn Ke monitored Zheng Yichen’s condition, she said, "I can’t bear to do it. It’s enough."

Zheng Yichen’s condition had already been reduced to a threshold, so it was time to proceed with the experiment. Time was running out, and even though Zheng Yichen was now very weak, he was rapidly adapting according to her tests.

In half a day, he would be able to adapt to this influence. At that point, either a larger dose would have to be administered, or a new formula would be required.

Because the same dose would no longer have much effect.

"I’m going out for a smoke," said Ahn Qi as she stood up, subconsciously unable to withstand the environment of Dusk any longer.

Ahn Ke didn’t stop but continued with the corresponding experiments. Since they were in the Dusk Territory, many experiments could be conducted boldly.

In case of any problem, just call the Dusk nun – that was the safety net.

The flesh with minor mutations was sutured into the wounds on Zheng Yichen’s body. After completing this step, she still needed to make fine adjustments.

Simply put, it was to continuously weaken the resistance near the flesh, further allowing the slight mutations to spread. By maintaining this state, like stacking blocks, she incrementally enlarged it.

Eventually, while Zheng Yichen’s body resisted the mutations, it retained the advantages brought by the Life roundworms.

For the beneficial parts to the body, there was no reason for the body not to keep them.

Outside the Dusk Cathedral, Ahn Qi exhaled and took a glance at the distance; someone was watching her. As she traded quickly, she found several buyers. Whoever offered more, the formula would belong to them.

This unavoidably drew attention to her, but Ahn Qi didn’t care too much. Those people couldn’t do much here, and she wouldn’t stay in this place for too long.

Time passed until nightfall, and Ahn Ke’s voice sounded beside Ahn Qi: "Don’t just sit here, let’s go back."

"Oh..." Ahn Qi stood up from the steps and the moment she entered the Dusk Cathedral, she couldn’t help but frown and exhaled, following inside.

She saw Zheng Yichen wrapped in bandages and couldn’t help but ask, "How is the progress?"

"Half successful, I suppose. After greatly reducing his immunity, the integration was quite smooth. Whether it ultimately succeeds needs to be tested in a higher environment."

Ahn Ke felt somewhat helpless. There were many things that could be done in a low environment. With such a formidable being as Zheng Yichen and his active cooperation, they could do a lot, but results obtained in a low environment had to be tested in a higher one.

This environment was not enough for Zheng Yichen to use Life Archive.

"So we’re leaving now?"

"How could it be so soon? He still needs observation for two days." Knowing that Ahn Qi was not comfortable with the environment of Dusk, Ahn Ke didn’t say much: "At least wait until his physical state stabilizes."

"That’s fine. Do we need any other materials? If not, I will spend all the money I got this time."

"No, you just be careful when you procure."

Ahn Qi nodded and couldn’t wait to leave the Dusk Cathedral. She didn’t want to stay here for a moment longer.

As for procurement, it wasn’t just casual talk. The formula for the immune potion had been exchanged for a lot of money, and without regard to cost, there was still much to buy in this world, although her hunters group was no longer mainly responsible for this.

But she didn’t want to linger in Dusk too much, so she resumed her old profession.

"How are you feeling now?" Ahn Ke came to Zheng Yichen’s side, glanced at the data on the computer beside him, and gave Zheng Yichen another injection.

She had never done such an experiment before; where other experimental subjects were injected to maintain their physical state, Zheng Yichen’s injections were to further weaken it.

She even dared not use nutritional supplements, fearing that his body would recover slightly and directly kill the mutating flesh that was taking effect...

"Uncomfortable, it’s far from the experience of gaining the Essence of Life." Zheng Yichen grinned, when had he felt such a sense of weakness? Being struck by Heavenly Punishment was just pain, not as weak as this.

"No way around it, if you could get the materials from the blood of the Great Evil God, you wouldn’t have to suffer so much." Ahn Ke sat beside Zheng Yichen: "Hang in there a bit longer."

"No big deal. I’ve been through worse. This time, if it’s successful, I’ll save a lot of money." Zheng Yichen lifted his arm with some effort, feeling his flesh producing abnormal movements.

This was movement shifting between abnormal and normal.

The flesh affected by his own body was merging with himself along with the Regenerative Ability, inadvertently incorporating characteristics that his body did not originally possess, while his body was also resisting this forced addition.

Moreover, the current state of his body was holding him back, preventing this resistance from exerting its greatest effect, which was exactly the result Ahn Ke wanted to achieve.

"Do you know? I feel like I’m cultivating a ’Creator’." Ahn Ke touched Zheng Yichen’s face: "Want to learn biology with me?"

"I am a warrior; where would I find the time to study?"

"That’s a pity; there are many things in the Ark of Life worth researching..." Ahn Ke shook her head and said no more, as Zheng Yichen’s purpose was different from hers. However... in the future, if they had a son or daughter, they could focus on nurturing them.

Well, that was a matter for the future. The gap between lifeform levels wasn’t something you could overcome simply by wanting to have offspring.

Two days later, the bandages on Zheng Yichen were removed, but his skin was still pale, and some of the healing wounds were rough and seriously allergic reacting.

These were trivial matters. Once they returned to Hazy City, his body’s condition would be adjusted, and these traces would soon disappear.

"Let’s go back." Zheng Yichen said impatiently, feeling that these days were more uncomfortable than an intense battle.

After returning to Hazy City and being exposed to a higher environment, the marks on Zheng Yichen’s body disappeared at a visible speed.

"Hm? When did Hazy City’s environment become so high?"
