Chapter 418: Chapter 327 Unsuitable Participants in the Experiment_1

"Not bad at all,"

Zheng Yichen looked at the wound on his arm, which was quickly disappearing. After suppressing his own healing abilities, the Essence of Life demonstrated a very strong regenerative effect, with a cut over ten centimeters long healing itself in less than twenty seconds.

"Not only that, this stuff can also temporarily enhance resistance, making the user immune to poisons and the like." Ahn Ke was taking notes on Zheng Yichen’s condition. "Additionally, it can speed up the breakdown of hallucinogens accumulated in the body."

"However, if a normal organism ingests more than one hundred milliliters of it, mutation occurs." After Ahn Ke finished speaking, he glanced at the readings from the equipment. "Do you feel anything extra?"

"No." Zheng Yichen shook his arm and pulled down his sleeve. His opinion about this substance was... it was no better than normal blood. Essence of Life is a special life crystal with certain particularities, formed from the bone marrow of behemoths like the Skeleton behemoth, and it could also be influenced by that Evil Spirit.

"...You are a treasure, but not suited for experiments; you are only suited to produce results for others to experiment with," Ahn Ke said somewhat speechless. Zheng Yichen’s physical constitution was very stable, but this stability and uniqueness made any experiment on him less than ideally effective.

At most, they would test things on him. The Essence of Life from the Skeleton behemoth did have exceptional effects even on someone like Zheng Yichen, who was at a high lifeform level. From this aspect, the Skeleton behemoth’s Essence of Life was the key to reaching higher lifeform levels.

This substance was very important to ordinary people, but to Zheng Yichen, it was still useless.

"My vanity is quite high right now."

Ahn Ke looked at Zheng Yichen calmly. "That is what you deserve."

Being a Proxy Agent was an existence with no way back. If Zheng Yichen had not possessed sufficient abilities and the capacity to handle risks, he would have been finished long ago.

"Let’s get down to business. Help me complete the follow-up research on Essence of Life. When the time comes, I will prepare a few extra mature results for you."

Ahn Ke’s goal was to use Essence of Life to raise an individual’s lifeform level. Just because Zheng Yichen had no use for it didn’t mean others around him couldn’t benefit. Moreover, he could trade the Essence of Life with people from other worlds.

"No problem."

A box was placed in front of Zheng Yichen, containing an irregular crystal emitting a faint red glow. Looking at the object, Zheng Yichen asked, "Is it okay to just pick it up by hand?"

"For you, no problem." Zheng Yichen picked up the Essence of Life; a small, black stick—the miniaturized black spear—touched it without any reaction, and Zheng Yichen then made it disappear, casually tossing the object in his hand.

He observed it with thermal vision, where the object appeared as a dense ’heat source’. Zheng Yichen pondered whether he might find a way to emulate this Essence of Life, as he had always been looking to create an additional method of storing Life Force.

Store all the accumulated Life Force from day to day, and have that stored power play a crucial role in critical moments. So far, he had not been successful, but could he reference the principle behind this Essence of Life to successfully create a way to store Life Force?

"Do you have any thoughts?"

"You’re the professional, and you’re still asking someone who doesn’t even qualify as an amateur?" Zheng Yichen retorted.

Ahn Ke replied calmly, "You have special powers I don’t possess, special vision. Your suggestions are important."

"Hmm, I was thinking that if we could thoroughly research the production principle of the Essence of Life, I might be able to attempt to generate it myself." Zheng Yichen tossed the Essence of Life in his hand. He was unclear on how it was produced. If he had known, he would have already started attempting this endeavor.

"?" Ahn Ke gave Zheng Yichen a peculiar look. "Is that possible? Then I need to adjust some of my research projects."

The Skeleton behemoth left behind a lot of Essence of Life, but it was a finite resource. No matter how abundant, if it couldn’t be produced sustainably, it would eventually be exhausted. A significant portion would be used up during research, and after yielding results, the Ahn family’s upper echelons would certainly each get a share. As for mid-level and lower-level members, if they wanted some, they would have to obtain it based on their own capabilities.

"Your eyes have a dangerous gleam," Zheng Yichen noted, spotting the fervor in Ahn Ke’s eyes.

Ahn Ke chuckled. "That’s my normal reaction. Compared to using Essence of Life from an unknown creature, I’d much prefer to use one from humans if a superior option is available in the future."

Ahn Ke took charge of researching the production principle of the Essence of Life. What she meant was that this project was an investment. All results from the research would be shared with Zheng Yichen, who in return would only need to provide some Essence of Life for her in the future. She made it very clear, "But you need to think it through. Once you can truly achieve this level, you’ll be entering new territory with related interests."

"Whether you can avoid being exploited will depend on your personal capabilities."

Zheng Yichen remained noncommittal. The Essence of Life could heal and extend life, and could easily eliminate abnormal statuses, but intake exceeding one hundred milliliters could lead to complications.

Whether humans would be susceptible to these side effects was unclear, but if Zheng Yichen really achieved that level of production, he was sure to draw attention. At that time, he would have to rely on his abilities to dissuade those who harbored ulterior motives.

Zheng Yichen thought that if he could indeed accumulate Life Force and produce his unique Essence of Life, then even in a low environment he would be strong enough to be a powerful mage, "This shouldn’t be too difficult for me."

Ahn Ke nodded, "I like your confidence."

Several hours later, Zheng Yichen left Ahn Ke’s research facility. All the necessary tests and research were completed. The Essence of Life wasn’t pure crystallized Life Force; it had something to do with the individual’s stem cells...

In other words, pure Life Force couldn’t crystallize easily; it needed a carrier to manifest in a solid form.

The Essence of Life was one such form. It fell from the body of the Skeleton behemoth, and achieving such a state wasn’t something just anyone could do. For starters, the individual needed to be quite exceptional—there were too many entities with immense Life Force out there.

Ahn Ke’s facility was able to create an Aberrant creature with vast Life Force; just providing it with enough nutrients would suffice. Endless nutrients were absorbed and transformed into Life Force by the Aberrant creature, yet such Life Force only caused it to reproduce continuously without yielding any Essence of Life.

The Essence of Life was linked to the individual’s physicality, and for this reason, it had an influential effect on the lifeform. This discovery led Ahn Ke to attempt to remove what was considered the ’genetic information’ of the individual. However, achieving this was no simple feat, and it was not something for Zheng Yichen to worry about.

He had provided all the help he could, and the rest was waiting for the outcome, which he was quite looking forward to, especially the production of the Essence of Life. Even if such a substance could be stored in bones, that was fine. A bone marrow replacement? No, it could be said to be a super-upgraded version of bone marrow.

"I’ve managed to get a batch of self-defense weapons from another world," Zheng Yichen said to Ahn Qi on the way back.

"? You can also get weapons from the Ahn family," Ahn Qi found Zheng Yichen’s action somewhat superfluous.

"Come along, the technology is more advanced over there. However, you’ll have to see about the ammunition. I’ll give you authorization when the time comes."

Ahn Qi nodded. Zheng Yichen was keen on turning his home into a safe house, and she had no objections—it was a good thing. A stable base would allow Zheng Yichen to be more at ease as a Proxy Agent.

"Your recent technological acquisition has brought us quite a few challenges. My second brother has rarely appeared lately," Ahn Qi briefly mentioned the situation with her second brother. The ’Light Path’ technology was too unique; beyond its application in communication and transportation, its utilization in weaponry was also very distinctive.

Beam weapons—such weapons seemed flashy but impractical in some contexts. Yet their power could not be dismissed.

But the technology was too unique, and they lacked foundations in this area, keeping her second brother extremely busy recently. He hadn’t even been involved in the North Lake incident. Ahn Ke looked into it and found out that her second brother had been very angry when someone interrupted him at the time.

It made her hesitant to contact her second brother now.

"The technology relies heavily on the environment..."

"But my second brother said that relying on the environment means the technology isn’t perfected. Or rather, the environment influenced the people of that world, preventing them from thinking about perfecting their technology. It will be different once it is perfected."

"Then I wish him good luck. By the way, if there’s nothing going on with your hunters group and there are no major continuing issues with North Lake, I’m planning to be away for a while, maybe a week."

Ahn Qi thought for a moment, "The hunters group indeed doesn’t have any particular issues lately; any Alien Phenomenon worlds we encounter are within the scope of the group’s capabilities, and for the more troublesome ones, there’s always that dragon. The likelihood of significant issues following the North Lake incident is low, but if you’re planning to be away for a time, it’s better to wait until the self-defense weapons you mentioned have arrived before you leave."

"Of course."

Chiang Wei acted swiftly, and after receiving the message, Zheng Yichen rented a car and headed to the Dusk Cathedral in the middle of the night. Upon arrival, the number of Dusk mercenaries in the Zero Point marketplace hadn’t decreased; it seemed their numbers had stabilized. As for the Boundary Breakers’ ’Descent of God Technique’, that was a matter of adaptability.

After adaptation, a new round would slowly begin.

Zheng Yichen carried out several heavy metal boxes from the storage area, filling up the cargo truck. After patting his hands clean, he left a message for Chiang Wei and departed.

Meanwhile, Chiang Wei stared at a new briefcase in a daze, "What kind of benefactor is this? Always sending these things... Could it be he’s taken a shine to me?"
