Chapter 335: Chapter 270 Each Time More Exaggerated_2

Higher efficiency means less consumption, lower efficiency leads to higher consumption.

"Okay, await my good news then."

Zheng Yichen decided not to disturb the fire dragon any longer and left the base, returning to his residence. There, he went into the sorceress workshop and waited for Eileena’s research to conclude before asking, "How’s the research coming along?"

"This type of apple can cause severe mutations in the organisms that consume it, but if we can manage to control these mutations, it can bring about a benign change in the consumer. I’m thinking of attempting to cultivate a new variety using this substance, ideally something like the ’Golden Apple’."

Golden Apple... Indeed, such a crop exists in this world, but that kind of Golden Apple is a genetically modified product, just a regular fruit. "I’m very excited, what about the eyeballs?"

"The mutations induced by the eyeballs are even more severe, but like the apples, as long as we can control the mutations, we can achieve a great enhancement. The vision will also be greatly improved, allowing one to see many things invisible to ordinary people. Between you and me, I’m even tempted to try transplanting these eyeballs."

Zheng Yichen had brought back four apples and twelve eyeballs.

Hearing this, Zheng Yichen immediately said, "You better not do something so risky, the rejection..."

"There will be no rejection." Eileena was very sure of herself, having repeatedly used the experimental eyeball, which was ready to be used instantly. After all, the eyeball itself could cause organisms to mutate, and after transplantation, it would immediately connect with the flesh and blood.

More specifically, these items were a kind of parasite that could act as an eyeball.

"Still, you shouldn’t attempt it lightly."

"Of course, I won’t try it until I’ve solved the problem of the induced mutations," Eileena said with a smile. "As for the enhancement that this eyeball can bring to an individual, I can’t test it myself; I’m not skilled in that area."

Her expertise remained necromancy, and although she continued to improve on what she had learned subsequently, there were some areas she really couldn’t cover. Magic was a field of knowledge deep enough for one to spend a lifetime studying.

The reason she had such great ideas about these eyeballs, even to the point of wanting to take the risk, was the highly addictive uniqueness of the eyeballs. Zheng Yichen called them the Eye of the Planet, but she thought Eye of Truth was a more appropriate description. The range of things these eyeballs could see was incredibly vast.

If she could really possess such eyes, even just one, her proficiency in necromancy and other areas would greatly improve. When making various magic potions, she was confident that she could increase the success rate to a hundred percent.

The temptation was just too great, even if this was an act only a Black Witch would consider.

"I’ll take one apple and one eyeball with me."

Since it was certain that these items wouldn’t cause widespread effects, and that at most they could impact an individual and lead to a personal disaster, Zheng Yichen decided to take out one of each to bring to his excellent collaborator. The adjacent research facility would be ready to hand over in no more than two days.

Zheng Yichen had been observing the use of state-of-the-art equipment and materials.

As he left in the evening, wealthy lady Ahn, upon learning of what Zheng Yichen planned to do, immediately canceled the dinner planned with her fourth sister, Ahn Longling. What dinner with her sister could be more important than the matter at hand?

"Tomorrow is my birthday, and your surprise really made me curious," Ahn Qi, who came to pick up Zheng Yichen, said as she drove.

Zheng Yichen placed the case he was carrying on his lap. "That’s quite a coincidence."

"What’s in it? Are we going to my house or the research facility?"

Zheng Yichen patted the case on his lap. "Either place is fine, but the impact of this thing might be the biggest."

"...Let’s go to my house then." Ahn Qi immediately turned the car towards her home, and this time, instead of chatting with Zheng Yichen in her living room, they talked in her bedroom, a place Zheng Yichen was visiting for the first time.

The bedroom of a wealthy lady was as lavish as a house someone might struggle their entire life to afford—large, yet not seeming empty, filled with many things. Since Ahn Qi chose this place to converse, it indicated that the security level here was much higher than in the living room.

Zheng Yichen opened the box, revealing the apples and eyeballs inside. Such items were somewhat macabre for a birthday gift, but what kind of person was wealthy lady Ahn? What she cared more about was the use of these items that Zheng Yichen had brought!

"The eyeball is the remnant of a rejuvenated planet’s eye, and the apple is the fruit borne by the trees on the rejuvenated planet."

"...I want to reconfirm what you’ve said." After a pause, Ahn Qi spoke, expressing some disbelief in what she heard. Since taking over the Ahn family hunters group, she had seen hundreds of worlds, yet never one like that Zheng Yichen encountered.

Each time it’s more exaggerated than the last, right?

First, it was the apocalypse, and now it has directly turned into a rejuvenated planet? She understood the term "rejuvenated planet," but the idea of a planet’s rejuvenation seemed terrifying to her.

"The eye of a rejuvenated planet might have spurred your imagination, but the actual situation isn’t that terrifying."

"This isn’t about being terrifying or not, but about the significance of this thing." Ahn Qi’s expression was complex. She had shared some of the Ahn family’s plans with Zheng Yichen, but the realization of that plan required a long accumulation of time, and the Ahn family would even ’divide’ once more in a decade or so.

The reason for the division was naturally that some of the Ahn family elders did not want to die of old age and decided to move to a world with a better environment. Using the Ahn family’s accumulated wealth, they sought immortality in that new world.

If they chose to leave, they would certainly take a considerable portion of the Ahn family’s resources with them, leaving the rest to continue the ’ascension plan’ in the Hazy City world.

If they couldn’t succeed, then in a few decades, a new batch of the Ahn family’s top tier would continue to stream out.

For her to be a part of that stream... It would be an event a hundred years in the future.

But the items Zheng Yichen had brought seemed to suggest that the Ahn family wouldn’t need to wait that long. Even if the Ahn family elders knew about this... oh no! The ’little boy’ in front of her was about to be taken away!

"What significance?"

"You haven’t seen it... oh, you can have a look now, I recorded quite a few videos." Zheng Yichen took out a storage disk.

Ahn Qi immediately picked up the laptop lying on the bed, placed it on her lap, and sat next to Zheng Yichen without any embarrassment. Currently, Zheng Yichen looked to be only about eleven years old, quite young, and his enviable skin and hair combined with a small western dress made it hard to discern his original gender.

Cute and lovely, yet possessed of a formidable strength that was awe-inspiring.

"What is this flesh and blood hell?" Upon watching the first video, Ahn Qi felt uncomfortable. She had seen her share of horrors, but the scenes recorded in the video were unsettling even for her as a member of the human race.

She wouldn’t react too much to the normal sight of rivers of blood, but the video’s meat people, the squirming cities and earth, the flesh and blood algae grown from the oceans, and so on, continued to push the limits of human mental endurance.

Afterward, Ahn Qi saw the origins of the apple, which Zheng Yichen had picked from an apple tree.

Latter, she saw the origin of the Eye of the Planet, an eye that lay beneath the flesh-covered city!

"What became of it in the end?" Without finishing the video, Ahn Qi couldn’t wait to ask, "It died."

"May I understand that you destroyed a planet?"

Zheng Yichen shook his head, "Of course not, you should consider that the planet was influenced by something to mutate, and I merely removed the source of the mutation. How could I directly destroy a planet?"

Ahn Qi looked at Zheng Yichen seriously, "I think you’re being too modest with your words."

"It’s just a matter of not overstating the facts." Zheng Yichen seemed very matter-of-fact. Destroy a planet?

That was truly asking too much of him; even if he cleared out all life forms on that planet and converged their powers, he still couldn’t destroy it...
