Chapter 940: Chapter 673: Why Not Conjure a Big Light Sphere

Back at Dusk, Zheng Yichen opened his storage cabinet to look inside and fished out a large pile of things, gifts from people in different worlds. Chiang Wei’s world was making progress on some technological research, indicating that they were studying a unique form of artificial intelligence...

This was an important project recently approved by the World Security Department. As for the possibility of an AI crisis, which had existed before, the Dusk mercenaries over there were working hard, planning to handle some of the more challenging parts through Dusk.

Thus, avoiding an AI crisis. They sought to create unique characteristics for their world, rather than haphazardly conducting research; they needed a specialized main project.

"Researching artificial intelligence, huh... this?" Zheng Yichen thought for a moment about the pressure he had felt when he was besieged by the City of Technology in the Great World—fine, this area of research also held potential.

Zheng Yichen replied briefly to express his support. As for Chiang Wei’s message inviting him to visit, he saw it, including the girl’s note, indicating that the project’s development could use Zheng Yichen’s help.

Or more specifically, the assistance of the artificial intelligence Doris’s sister, Lilith.

Zheng Yichen mulled it over; it was okay to visit when he was free. Currently, Lilith didn’t seem to need an upgrade, but what if there was some new breakthrough over there?

Next came news from Liu Hongzhao. Not much had changed in a month’s time, except for photos sent by Qi Xiangyun, which showed extensive construction near the Dusk Territory—after all, in their world, the Dusk Territory was a strategic location coveted by all.

Qi Family Town was developing better and better, the interweaving of ancient and modern scenes looked much like a high-tech MOD in some game.

The majority of the population in the Dusk Territory were alien demon nuns, with only two human nuns.

There were just over a billion humans in that world.

In her letter, Liu Hongzhao wrote that they had found traces of the "Immortal Realm" and were planning to investigate when time permitted.

In the world of the Firmament Wheel, Diplomat Nelly also left a message. The unique research materials Zheng Yichen had given them had yielded certain results. They couldn’t create a God Simulation Engine, but they made additional breakthroughs in the modification of the Firmament Wheel.

As for miniaturizing the Firmament Wheel technology, it was still a distant dream. However, the Dusk mercenaries in their world had gained special knowledge from another world about ’Artifact Refining’. Although their Dusk mercenaries weren’t strong in that world,

The knowledge they gained was basic, but they had linked with that world and intended to return for exploration. While they were conducting normal research, they were also planning to explore this method of ’Immortality Cultivation’ Artifact Refining further.

With their world’s technology, they could decipher a portion of this entirely different system of knowledge. The basic knowledge they had obtained was even more suitable for them.

They told Zheng Yichen to wait for good news.

"Everything’s going well, so why doesn’t Dusk just conjure up a big ball of light?" After reviewing the accumulated information over this period, Zheng Yichen pondered that Dusk wasn’t in a hurry regarding matters outside the Dusk Territory.

But once inside Dusk, things were another matter. So Dusk mercenaries nurtured in their native world could provide merit points, and creating unique Creations through Dusk for research was feasible.

Isn’t this... the kind of exchange you find in infinite stream stories?

"Stubborn Dusk, not knowing how to adapt." Zheng Yichen waited there a little longer, glanced at the time, and decided to wait another half hour. If no one showed up, he would leave.

But just after making this decision, a familiar figure arrived—it was the mother dragon Weaginia from another world.

After her arrival, a man inside the Dusk Cathedral showed a puzzled expression. He was a resident member positioned there by the Dragon Tribe. Knowing the special nature of Dusk, he would definitely pay extra attention to it.

However, this man felt something off seeing Weaginia. He sensed the presence of a dragon, but it was completely different from what he remembered. Any dragon capable of being appointed here by the Dragon Tribe had excellent senses and vision.

So what kind of dragon was this mother dragon that had appeared? A hybrid?

It didn’t seem like it.

Thinking this, he stood up, intending to chat with her, but upon seeing the destination of the mother dragon, he sat back down; she was looking for Zheng Yichen? Well, in that case, no worries—if the two knew each other, then this mother dragon was most likely a Dusk mercenary.

As for a Proxy Agent? Her eyes did not bear the color of Dusk.

"It’s great that I can meet Your Excellency Chang Qing as soon as I arrive," Weaginia said joyfully, approaching Zheng Yichen and casually greeting the dragon nearby. This made the humanoid dragon feel somewhat odd.

"Are you here by yourself?" Zheng Yichen asked with some surprise.

Weaginia said somewhat helplessly, "In our world, there are few people who can become Dusk mercenaries, so most of the time we operate alone, and we only form teams when we go to the Great World to take advantage of the environment."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the dragon that maintained a human form, "The dragons in this world are more powerful, ah, I can hardly wait to engage in an exchange."

Zheng Yichen waved to the dragon not far away, and the latter came over somewhat nervously, "Your Excellency Chang Qing, is there something you need help with?"

"She is a Dusk mercenary from the Dragon Tribe of another world, planning to engage in some knowledge exchange with you."

"??" Temoli who walked over was stunned for a moment, then quickly caught on and immediately said, "Our Dragon Tribe welcomes such exchanges."

If he was assigned here, it meant that he was privy to a lot of information. The Dragon Tribe also wanted to train Dusk mercenaries, but for now, only Klakauska was suitable; the other dragons were not, and many didn’t even have the adaptability to Dusk.

Exchanging with dragons from other worlds wasn’t bad, and as for their purposes... they would be known later.

"We will meet here again afterwards." Zheng Yichen prepared to leave Dusk Cathedral, as he had accomplished his objective. What remained was to wait for Weaginia to return—hitching a ride, as he wanted to fight some extraterrestrial beings and make contact with the World Tree in that world.

Zheng Yichen thought that the World Tree must also be an incredible enhancement material, right?

As for whether it would bring any additional effects to his weapons and equipment, that concern had already been dispelled after the harmonizing stone enhancement; it was just that some enhancements couldn’t work simultaneously with others.

Returning to his residence, Zheng Yichen took out several small bottles containing the Spring Water of Life.

It was a specialty brought from the Elven Holy Land. As for natural bracelets, Zheng Yichen found little use for them. Although they could provide all-around assistance to the wearer—being impervious to wind and weather, oblivious to cold and heat—all that was relative. Ordinary storms or low-level magic-induced storms couldn’t affect him.

The same was true for normal temperature changes and low-level magic, but once it exceeded a certain degree, they would be useless.

However, if this item could indeed ignore environmental adjustments, it would be absolutely divine in lower environments. Carrying such an item would allow one to move around wearing summer clothing in the Arctic or Antarctic, unbothered by deadly desert heat.

Yet, this was useless to Zheng Yichen. His own resistance spoke for itself; he didn’t need such an item to move about like that, ignoring aging. Ignoring aging was not the same as evading death; it just made one maintain a youthful appearance at the end of life and allowed the wearer to live to their theoretical maximum age.

This was also useless to him. Self-cleaning, luck—that was quite good—but does luck involve a strand of the subtle Power of Destiny?

Du Gang’s God Shocking Saber had a similar enhancement, but the Little Golden Man had educated Zheng Yichen that such things were truly useful when needed, and utterly useless when not, unless they reached a certain level of strength.

Probably the most useful aspect of the bracelet was its ability to fly while ignoring anti-flight zones.

This item couldn’t be given to someone else because it would only be effective when crafted sincerely by a little elf for a particular person; if given to someone else, it would become ordinary. Its potential for growth... held promise for the future.

"A specialty brought from the Elven Holy Land."

"I really like it." Ahn Ke looked at the small bottle of Spring Water of Life in her hand, which held about 50 milliliters, but she had already experienced its effects. Now receiving another, it would be useful for future research.

She tucked the bottle into the pocket of her clothing, and her gaze fell on Zheng Yichen, "Those Holy Maidens have already left. The information about the Great World you provided has influenced their state of mind. After seeing the route, they hurried back to find their ’father deity’."

Ahn Ke briefly mentioned the situation of the departing Luminous Holy Maidens and then steered the conversation back to Zheng Yichen, "Is your body fully recovered?"

"Not yet, I’ll go fight extraterrestrial beings later." Zheng Yichen shook his head. When he went to drink the Spring Water of Life, he noticed that there was a lot of the spring water in the pool, but the only usable part was what spouted from the fountain.

After a few ladles, the height of the fountain decreased, so it seemed the elf race could not directly use much of the Spring Water of Life.

The rest that was stored would absolutely not be used except in significant events.

So he hadn’t been overly greedy, stopping after reclaiming a little more than half of the Essence of Life. As for him, as long as his body was at peak condition, it didn’t matter if the Essence of Life was drained—just that he would lack the Blood Bar quantity that others had by a hundredfold.

But the Essence of Life was already part of him, so when it was depleted, others sensing him would most likely consider him to be nearing death.

"Extraterrestrial beings?" Ahn Ke was interested.

"When I come back, I’ll bring back more specimens for you."

"How can I possibly thank you?"
