Chapter 297: Chapter 247 Substitute Grass Figure_2

```

Seeing the novel use of curses made him feel pretty good, like watching an advanced player’s video, it didn’t matter if he was noobishly fumbling, the thought of jumping into the game himself after seeing that got his blood pumping, and he immediately turned on his computer to start a game!

His interest was piqued, and since participation was voluntary, his mood was naturally very good, especially since Zheng Yichen also said that the thing could only be made in limited quantities! Limited edition items, oh man.

Dragon Blood scales were no big deal; when handing over those items to Zheng Yichen, the fire dragon looked at Zheng Yichen somewhat puzzledly: "So, you’re not going to become even more powerful, are you?"

"What’s up?"

The fire dragon scratched its cheek: "Feels a bit upsetting, ya know? Makes me feel like I’ve lived for nothing."

Zheng Yichen chuckled: "It’s not as exaggerated as you think. I haven’t had much of an improvement recently, and your strength is only limited by the low environment. In a higher environment, I might not be able to beat you."

The fire dragon muttered under its breath. It used to believe that, but Zheng Yichen’s aura of divinity made it uneasy; although it was merely divinity and not the unique Godhead of a deity, keeping Zheng Yichen within the realm of humanity, as a dragon, it didn’t possess that.

After leaving the base where the fire dragon was, Zheng Yichen returned home. Next to his house, the laboratory construction had already begun. The lab’s specifications weren’t as grand as a research institute’s, but with the high construction standards of Hazy City, it wouldn’t take long to complete.

The challenging part wasn’t the building itself but acquiring the specialized equipment that laypeople couldn’t obtain.

The house took shape in just a few days. The only problem was the construction noise day and night; it was a bit noisy when trying to sleep. The two witches in the family were quite accomplished in their magic specialties, but even they couldn’t manage to create that extremely convenient soundproofing magic.

Now that was no longer an issue, as Zheng Yichen had just gone to see the fire dragon and obtained this piece of minor magic.

The magic wasn’t particularly precious to the fire dragon, who carelessly gave it away; what mattered were the dragon materials he brought back.

Dragon Blood and dragon scales were indeed very good materials in the hands of a witch. Once the lab was complete, Eileena would be able to attempt creating Dragon Blood potions, not Dragon’s Breath Magic Potions, which are one-time attack items.

Dragon Blood potions would drastically increase the user’s strength, a temporary enhancement, like a magic version of temporary genetic modification. It could also be used as a spellcasting material, especially in curses.

"You’ve brought back new Dragon Blood? That’s great. The blood you brought back last time won’t last long before it deteriorates, so I need to make use of it as quickly as possible." There weren’t many applications for Zheng Yichen’s blood in her research.

The main reason was that her abilities weren’t enough; the power contained in that blood was too sophisticated, and despite many methods tried, she could only utilize it superficially. It wasn’t something that could be mastered well in just a month or two.

At present, the only way she could use that blood was to enhance the quality and performance of certain artifacts, or else obtain some high-energy crystals.

The former was inspired by the transformation of the Cat Spirit Cloak. Within the shelf life of the blood, she planned to enhance some materials that wouldn’t be needed short-term, including the Skull Head that Zheng Yichen had brought back.

Such an object was considered to have a high concentration of divine materials, and if controlled properly, it could be greatly improved. The remaining blood would ultimately be turned into energy crystals, otherwise, it would be a waste once it expired.

Of course, creating energy crystals had to be categorized. Using ordinary animals or Aberrant creatures would only yield ’average’ crystals. She planned to modify some Aberrant creatures and then crystallize them to obtain better energy crystals.

Dragon Blood would just meet such requirements.

"There will be chances to obtain new blood in the future, so there’s no need to rush and risk accidents," Zheng Yichen said.

Eileena smiled, signaling that she understood.

As evening approached, Zheng Yichen picked up the cat spirit cloak that hung on the coat rack. Ever since the cloak had undergone its transformation, there was basically no worry about it being stolen, for the emphasis used to be on the cloak itself. But after being bolstered by the Dusk Territory, the cat spirit had become the crucial element.

In order to use it, one had to be acknowledged by the cat spirit; otherwise, wearing it would be like inflicting oneself with a continuous blood-draining debuff, cooling one off particularly fast.

"Meow~" A faint cat’s meow sounded, and Zheng Yichen still wasn’t quite used to seeing himself in the mirror, smacked his tongue, and caught a glimpse of a black cat figure hopping around beside him. This was the cat spirit, now greatly enhanced.

During combat, as long as he supplied enough vitality to the cat spirit cloak, he could summon a combat-capable cat; and this vital energy could be understood as mana originating from the crystallization of life force...

He opened the window and leaped out, looking at the construction site nearby. Though the ongoing construction was a bit noisy, it was only temporary. As for what the neighbors thought, well, money spoke, and anything could be solved. The Ahn family’s influence in Hazy City was indisputably strong.

After jumping off the rooftop to scout around without discovering anything new, he had just returned to his place when he noticed a moving truck not far away, complete with the logo of a moving company.

They weren’t moving out, but moving in, about two hundred meters away from his residence—that hardly counted as neighbors anymore. Zheng Yichen casually glanced at them and then looked away.

...

"What’s up?" Ahn Ke looked at the arriving Ahn Qi, somewhat puzzled. Previously, whenever her sister sought her out, she would make an appointment, and only rarely would she come directly. The sudden visit had even caught her without a change of clothing.

"You sure know how to pick a place."

"Where I live isn’t important, right? Don’t act like a food-guarding cat." Ahn Ke smiled at Ahn Qi, "Don’t worry, for my own safety, I won’t disturb him directly, I just want to observe his daily life from a close distance."

"To see how such a special person lives his life."

"Hopefully that’s all." After receiving Ahn Ke’s promise, Ahn Qi still felt somewhat uneasy. After all, Ahn Ke had only changed her residence and hadn’t really done anything, yet she had rushed over with urgency.

"Since you’re here, sister, I’ll let you in on something, about the research on that kind of blood... I’ve discovered something quite promising."

"What?" Ahn Qi immediately asked, not holding back. That blood had been brought by her, and as the provider, she naturally expected to carry away a share of whatever results Ahn Ke had discovered.

Unless Ahn Ke did not want better results in the future and if she and Zheng Yichen had a new in-depth collaboration, on this front she could put some pressure on Ahn Ke.

When it came to acquiring special research materials, currently, no one in the entire Ahn family had better channels than she did. It was regrettable that the hunters group had been looking for a suitable Alien Phenomenon world lately, otherwise she would have contacted Zheng Yichen much sooner.

Regarding the blood Zheng Yichen had brought back, all she knew was that it was exceptionally prone to crystallizing creatures, especially upon contact with the blood; it was nearly an inevitable crystallization. Diluting it was of little use, as at a certain dilution level, the process would merely slow down.

The affected creatures wouldn’t gain any extra strength but would instead fall into an irreversible hypothermic state, and the creatures tested would soon die.

"Regarding how to solve that hypothermia issue, though, we would need that Red Star Rock you brought over before," she said.

Red Star Rock? Ahn Qi nodded slightly, "How much do you need?"

She still had some of that material left, currently stored in the laboratory. If Ahn Ke needed a lot, she would have to ask Zheng Yichen whether more Red Star Rock could be obtained.
