I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature
Chapter 263 - 218_1

Chapter 263: Chapter 218_1

"Familiar air—I’ve saved another world, haha," Zheng Yichen emerged from that small room, refreshed and not only fully recovered physically but also stronger than before. And now he was looking forward to a nice little vacation. It was wonderful.

He asked the Dusk nun beside him, "How long is the average survival time for a Proxy Agent?"

Tia immediately provided a number, "Eight years."

"So, does that mean being a Proxy Agent isn’t considered high risk anymore?"

She shook her head, "Proxy Agents have two extreme outcomes: one is losing their life in their initial tasks, while the other is surviving and growing stronger over time."

The average survival time was purely because some Proxy Agents were underperforming, dragging down the ’survival time’ of those who were still alive.

"Where do I stand then?"

"Excellent," Tia didn’t skimp on her praise... She simply gave him an affirmative compliment.

"Do excellent employees get any special treatments?"

"Yes, when your total merit points exceed four hundred, Dusk will reserve a safeguard for you once."

"How much??" Zheng Yichen’s eyes widened in surprise.

"Four hundred merit points, including those spent."

Zheng Yichen smacked his lips, "Speaking of which, there should be ways to come back to life in other worlds, right? I’ve managed to connect to the world of the deceased with a fishing rod in some worlds."

Tia nodded, "You can consider Dusk’s preservation to be more absolute. Even if you suffer a fatal attack that erases your existence, Dusk can still keep you safe."

"Don’t quite get it, but sounds pretty awesome," Zheng Yichen glanced at the notebook in Tia’s hands. Four hundred total merit points, huh? Consumption included, he currently had a bit over thirty points, reaching roughly one-tenth of this small goal.

Overall, it seemed pretty challenging, but once he got it, he could be carefree. He even thought of finding a way to make a round trip through the Great World of the Boundary Breaking Faction; after all, Dusk’s safeguard was extremely absolute—he could even get a fresh start like a world boss that had been refreshed.

"It feels like this is basically a ticket to the Great World, doesn’t it? If I can earn eight hundred total merit points, I can be safeguarded twice?"

"Correct."

At that moment, Zheng Yichen suddenly felt that Dusk was quite generous.

After saying goodbye to Tia, Zheng Yichen cycled away from the Dusk Cathedral and took the opportunity to send a text to Katrina and the wealthy lady Ahn on his personal phone.

Ahn Qi replied super fast, "Where are you? I’ll come pick you up."

"We’ll talk about it tomorrow, I’m about to engage in a romantic encounter," Zheng Yichen replied decisively.

"...Don’t tire yourself out." After sending that message, Ahn Qi didn’t contact Zheng Yichen anymore—this was an area where she currently couldn’t help him.

Once he got home, he received a great big hug from a young girl.

After spinning around twice with the girl who had thrown herself into his arms, savoring her light weight, Zheng Yichen smiled and set down a squealing Katrina, "Come on, let’s take a bath first."

The girl rolled her eyes at Zheng Yichen.

It was noon by the time, and in the afternoon, Zheng Yichen suggested to a witch who was standing and one who was sitting, "I think building a swimming pool would be nice."

"First off, you need a space that’s big enough." The standing Forest Witch Eileena saw through Zheng Yichen’s intentions, "Are you planning on moving to a new place?"

"Um, if you’re not used to living here..."

Eileena shook her head: "I think it’s quite alright. The space in the workshop is completely adequate for now, and moving would require redesigning the workshop."

The Forest Witch came to Zheng Yichen’s side and carefully observed his eyes: "You seem to have undergone some changes again, let me take a good look."

Upon closer inspection, Zheng Yichen’s eyes were still primarily that dusk hue, but observing more carefully, one could see specks of ’starlight’ within them. However, this starlight was not strong, easily suppressed by the layer of dusk color.

"Did you have another worthwhile experience?"

"Sort of. Let me show you what I’ve brought back first." Zheng Yichen moved the items he brought back onto the table. There was no need for ceremony in a small household, so things could be placed anywhere when not eating.

The first thing was the hair he had cut with a knife, each piece over two meters long. Eileena’s face lit up with anticipation as she looked at them. Following the hair were various bottles and jars, which included the Red Star Rock Zheng Yichen had asked Chiang Wei to procure for him.

There were also blood samples from creatures with special abilities. Wealthy lady Ahn’s side could conduct research with these, as could the witches.

Next were some bones, especially a skull.

Upon seeing the skull, Eileena showed a strange expression: "Why does this skull look just like yours?"

"You can tell?" Zheng Yichen was a bit surprised. Did the witch have X-ray vision?

"I am very good at necromantic skills, of course I can tell." Eileena picked up the skull without any hesitation. Apart from the teeth being different, the rest of the skull was the same shape as Zheng Yichen’s. If Katrina were also adept at her necromantic skills, she would understand it in even greater detail.

"What kind of creature is this? A shapeshifter or something?"

"I heard it’s supposed to be a man-made god or something, but this thing should be considered an embryo, right?" Zheng Yichen thought about the state of that heart. The creature had jumped out from a withered giant heart, which if considered an egg, made this being at most a zygote?

Zheng Yichen pondered whether the Great World, having specially created such a thing, could, after successfully breaching the world’s foundation with compressed anomalies, enable that heart to undergo subsequent turbulence and assimilation to obtain something, thus fully maturing into its complete form?

"You, you committed god-slaying??" Eileena’s look at Zheng Yichen had changed.

"At most it’s like killing an egg, this thing isn’t quite the same as the Battle Maniac Asura. I’ll give you these bones and the blood. I didn’t collect much; I don’t know if it’s gone bad," Zheng Yichen said as he took out several bottles.

These were specially collected heart blood. Refrigerated for so many days, they still seemed quite fresh.

"It hasn’t gone bad, there’s an abundant power within it!"

"Katrina, you rest well. Tomorrow, you will help me research." Saying this, Eileena gave Zheng Yichen a glance: "Will you be sleeping in separate rooms tonight?"

"..." To be honest, Zheng Yichen really didn’t want to. Research and such could be done anytime, right? However, he also knew the witch’s hobbies. They had a strong desire to explore the unknown, and it had been difficult for Katrina to pursue her hobby previously since she lived among regular people and was worried about being discovered.

Now it was different. In this world, they could freely pursue research, explore unknown powers, and expand the system that belonged to their witch circles. This was similar to leveling up, nurturing equipment, and pets while monster hunting; it was addictive. After studying such rare materials and feeling a tangible improvement, the sensation was even more extraordinary.

Not to mention, in less than a year since they arrived in Hazy City, if they were to return to their original world now, they could probably become top-tier witches back there.

How could it be that Zheng Yichen always managed to bring them such unique items? It’s just that so far, Zheng Yichen hadn’t used what they researched very much.

The amulets that enhanced healing power overlapped with his own regenerative traits, and the protective amulets were indeed useful. They played a role when invading fortresses and battling the Boundary Breakers, but there was no chance for curse artifacts to enter the fray.

The Boundary Breakers they encountered were all dealt with outright, so there was no need to slowly torture them with curse artifacts. As for facing some unknown enemies? First, such things required suitable casting materials, and if you can’t even see the people, how can you use them?

Moreover, the worlds they encountered didn’t mesh well with the witches’ artifacts.
