I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 977: Chapter 704: Change

In a high-environment area, weapons capable of firing lasers could strike Zheng Yichen without posing much of a threat, but in the world of Hazy City...a single shot might turn Zheng Yichen into a blue-haired Saiyan taken down by a laser gun.

It sounds and looks ridiculous, but in a low-environment area, such an event could indeed happen.

"Where is there no danger? Actually, the environment here in Hazy City is quite good, the key is that this place is rather unique."

"Um, like you said, lots of phenomena?" Lillian looked away, today was a foggy day, although not a thick fog, but from a distance, it also looked like a thin veil.

"Yes, Hazy City has that kind of characteristic. I’ll first show you the rooms." Zheng Yichen’s house was quite big, and although there were quite a few people, it was still enough to accommodate everyone, especially since the living space had been remodeled before.

And there were living quarters in the laboratory too.

"Let’s first take a look at the laboratory," Eileena said to Zheng Yichen, as there were some creatures kept there that, despite the assistance of computers and Ahn Ke, they hadn’t checked on in a while.

Even though Lilith had confirmed the status of the creatures online after she returned, and from the life feedback, they seemed in pretty good condition, they still needed to see for themselves.

"Brother Chang Qing’s house... it’s more ordinary than I expected," said Qi Xiangyun as she entered the house, thinking that with Zheng Yichen’s capabilities, wherever he lived would certainly not be too shabby.

Now that she saw it, it indeed wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as extraordinary as she had imagined.

"Having a suitable place to live is what matters, it’s mainly about living there, not how lavish it is. This is quite good."

Zheng Yichen said with a smile, he had everything he needed in his current residence. Better? To improve, perhaps just acquire the land nearby and maybe add a swimming pool or something of the sort, but there really was no need to make more fuss than that.

However, speaking of the size of his home, it really couldn’t compare with Qi Xiangyun’s mansion in Qi Family Town.

"This is your room, later I’ll take you around the upper city district, and once you’re used to the place, you can move around freely," Zheng Yichen said this to Lillian and Nelliwey.

Katrina and the others had been living here for a long time, Liu Hongzhao and the Dusk mercenaries were just here for a ’review’, and the newly arrived Luminous Holy Maiden was genuinely new.

At Lillian’s age, she normally would still need to be placed in school, and Ahn Ke, even less needed to be mentioned, being a local.

"Awesome!" Lin Yaoyao seemed very happy upon hearing what Zheng Yichen said. She didn’t have much interest in shopping, but she was interested in anything related to Zheng Yichen.

"Just let me handle some things first," Zheng Yichen said with a smile, as an extra projection screen popped up at the corner of his eye displaying information about his neighborhood.

Guests had arrived.

The Ahn family sisters were visiting.

It had been several months since they last met, Ahn Qi’s hair had grown quite a lot, and Zheng Yichen could sense from his perception that her aura had also grown much stronger.

"Are you injured again?" Ahn Qi noticed Zheng Yichen’s white hair first thing, not feeling any estrangement at all.

"Just a minor issue. But why did you start growing your hair long?" Zheng Yichen asked with a smile.

"Just felt like it."

Previously, she was in charge of the hunters group operations, and even joined in on their activities, so it was more convenient to have shorter hair. Now, she no longer had to do so, not because she did not need to accompany the hunters, but because her strength had increased, negating the need for such convenience.

Moreover, she was also recuperating, and had not been active with the hunters recently.

This also led to some decreases in her ’influence’ in the eyes of certain family members, she begrudgingly noted.

"Just a moment," Zheng Yichen temporarily left.

Ahn Longling and Ahn Ke’s gaze fell upon a small girl with white hair and red eyes in the room, their expressions subtly complicated; they were pretty sure she was not related by blood to Zheng Yichen.

The ages didn’t match, but... given the developments in different worlds, some things were not impossible.

"Little sister, who are you?" Ahn Longling asked with a smile toward Tanshia Firlo, briefly memorizing the distinctive traits of Tanshia Firlo.

Appearance was one thing, but the ’blood amber’ she carried, with a tree embedded inside it, was even more special.

"I am a dragon," Tanshia Firlo said, holding her Holy Relic of Life. In the world of Hazy City, she was very uncomfortable, Transformation technique still worked, just the speed of transformation was greatly reduced; it couldn’t be done in ten seconds like before.

The reduction in Magic Power and lifeform level made her more uncomfortable.

She had not yet acclimated to the new environment and had been very quiet since her arrival.

"Dragon?" Ahn Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Are you and Klakauska...?"

"Clanmates."

Indeed, Ahn Qi understood now.

They didn’t continue to discuss matters related to the Dragon Tribe, just some other everyday things. It wasn’t long before Zheng Yichen returned.

"This is for you," Zheng Yichen said as he took out two leaves and two small bottles, explaining before the Ahn sisters could start asking, "The Water of Life and World Tree leaves, one to drink and one to use as an ornament."

The leaves of the World Tree that Zheng Yichen took out were not Primordial leaves, but they were much better than the ones Weaginia gave as small gifts.

The leaves of the World Tree come in various sizes; the larger ones could be used as blankets, and this time, one-third of a leaf had been used to strengthen and craft new equipment. The smaller ones were only the size of a baby’s palm.

There wasn’t much Water of Life, just a few milliliters, but it was enough for them.

"I’m not sure how important this stuff is," Ahn Ke said as she looked at the items Zheng Yichen handed over.

"How important? It could drive anyone in this world mad. You can think of the Water of Life as the Fountain of Youth, and the World Tree leaves are invaluable, carrying it can grant you nature’s protection and accelerate the absorption of the Water of Life. You can use these yourselves or choose to give them to your family."

The Ahn family hadn’t done anything to wrong him, and through the information extracted by Lilith, he hadn’t been substantially affected during this time. The Ahn family had contributed quite a bit.

Even though there had been some internal issues within the Ahn family, those were the Ahn family’s private affairs. Of course, the people handling matters related to his family were still mainly Ahn Qi and Ahn Longling.

Therefore, the necessary reciprocation was still warranted, and Zheng Yichen then took out a crystal. This item was a magic-world version of a storage disk from the Dragon Tribe, containing a vast amount of magic knowledge from the world of magic.

It was a more complete system of magic knowledge than what Klakauska had initially provided.

Armed with this, the Misty City World didn’t need to explore Phenomena anymore; they could simply develop their magic to a strong level. However, due to environmental limitations, their ultimate achievements were set.

But by leveraging skill, they could reach commendable heights—compensating for the environment with skills.

The crystal stored an extensive amount of magic knowledge.

"Ahn Ke has already returned to her place; you can discuss it with her."

"We’ll go right now," Ahn Longling said, immediately after receiving the items from Zheng Yichen. They went to the room next to Zheng Yichen, which was Ahn Ke’s residence.

After meeting Ahn Ke again, Ahn Longling noticed significant changes in her half-sister.

There was no change in appearance, but she seemed more feminine, lacking her former coldness, and her eyes no longer held that uncomfortable hue when she wasn’t wearing glasses.

She had become much more ’subdued.’

"What happened between you and him?" Since they were collaborators, Ahn Longling directly asked.

"Male-female relationship."

Such an answer did not shock Ahn Longling too much. Ahn Ke, being a woman who had been in contact with various biological experiments for years—though not a butcher—had eyes even more terrifying than one’s, and such a change over a few months certainly indicated a significant ’turning point’ in her life.

However, this was something the Ahn family wished to see, after all, Zheng Yichen was growing too fast, and the Ahn family side couldn’t provide equivalent resources to support him. Though the initial investment was fine,

At the beginning, the substantial investment was made by Ahn Qi, but the resources Ahn Qi held, compared to those held by the Ahn family itself, were far inferior. Later, when the Ahn family wanted to increase their investment, Zheng Yichen no longer needed it.

"She gave us these," Ahn Longling said pulling out the World Tree leaves and Water of Life that Zheng Yichen had given them.

Upon glancing at the items, Ahn Ke advised, "I suggest you keep these for yourself. Just submit the magic knowledge. You can use the Water of Life yourself."

A full set of magic knowledge from a high-environment world, although not including some of the unique magic parts, the value of these items was still extremely high—a long-developed knowledge system of the magic world.

The real value of this microchip was more than the entire Ahn family’s fortune could compare. It was a legacy!

Zheng Yichen had plenty of Water of Life and World Tree leaves, but they weren’t something to give away lightly. Two Luminous Holy Maidens didn’t even receive the World Tree leaves, but Zheng Yichen had given them to Ahn Qi and Ahn Longling.

They were meant for them after all; if they chose to give them to the Ahn family, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t say anything.

After being exposed to the high-environment magic world, Ahn Ke’s perspectives had greatly shifted. Many things that used to be fought over now seemed like a waste of time in retrospect.

Although this was an inevitable disparity between high and low environments, she didn’t look down on everything in lower environments, but there was an added convenience factor.

This was like going somewhere in a low environment equivalent to riding a bicycle, needing ten days to half a month to reach the destination, and having to chat needlessly with many people along the way.

In a high environment, it was like taking an airplane, reaching the destination in less than half an hour, more efficient and without so much wasted talk.

Ahn Qi looked at her older sister and earnestly remarked, "You really have changed a lot."

"That’s because I saw too much this time. The Ahn family’s ’Ascension Project’ can proceed, but the family misjudged the upper limit of the high environment."
