Chapter 209: Chapter 122: Inspiration from Seafood Soup

"I never expected to stumble upon such an unexpected gain—an AI seeking to create the Eternal Life Method to fulfill a promise to its Creator, wanting to be with the Creator forever.

What a strange twisted love..."

Since I obtained a good harvest, it’s quite simple to fuse genes to extend the lifespan.

This task, seemingly very difficult in the eyes of others, is just a piece of cake for her with her superpower.

With the appropriate genes, this fusion is no different from any other, even less challenging than researching her Water Fungus Blanket.

Since I can get a wealth of comprehensive knowledge at almost negligible cost, Bai Yi would not miss out on such a lucrative deal.

And this time, I even got an artificial intelligence with self-awareness!

Simply perfect!

The matter of the fierce battle with her witches last week doesn’t seem that important now, after all, the ultimate damage wasn’t significant.

Throughout this period of fighting, the total loss of witches is just about five percent of this harvest, whose witches Bai Yi hadn’t even met yet.

She hadn’t even touched the witches’ network, so Bai Yi barely feels any attachment, considering them more as figures.

After all, despite her kindness, she wouldn’t go as far as to pay a huge cost for a complete stranger.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed the Insect Swarm and Bai Sheng to raid other areas.

"I didn’t expect my Insect Swarm to withstand a nuclear bomb; are they really that strong?

Why didn’t I know this?"

Bai Yi muttered and decided to study the underlying principle once she finishes her current tasks.

She knows well the capabilities of the Insect Swarm; at least now, after this nuclear explosion, their resistance to similar damages should have improved significantly.

From this outing, she might even acquire terms related to radiation resistance.

She is simply curious about the Insect Swarm having such abilities.

But now, I must continue to keep an eye on the other two battle reports, turn off the panel, and immerse my consciousness back into the network, searching for the information I need.

The instances under the other two Lords are not as thrilling as Bai Yi’s, as these are just low-tier instances, and her witches alone are enough to guarantee a victory, not to mention the subsequent investments that have made them unbeatable.

Nothing unexpected has occurred as per yesterday’s battle report in the two instances that could turn the tide of battle.

The essence of the instances, being of such a rank, would not support exceedingly unbalanced powers.

Even the woman from a 3-rank instance who was suspected to be a 6-rank witch has been found. It turned out she hadn’t reached the 6-rank level but was a unique Transcendent approximately at the strength level of the orange cat

—This was the closest description she could find.

Those witches, just like the Transcendents she encountered in her instances, possessed enormous strength but did not have corresponding bodily enhancements.

Their bodies were even more fragile than the Transcendents, on par with ordinary humans despite each of them having a power akin to a moving Abnormal Object.

Most witches only live and die like humans.

The Primordial Witch they found this week, the only 5-rank limit who surpassed the human lifespan and witnessed the history of the witch world, managed to live this long because of her abilities, quite similar, or rather partly similar, to Bai Yi’s abilities.

She could infuse other beings with life force, stimulate plant growth, or empower Demon Creatures for her use, thereby gaining numerous Guardians.

Her longevity relied on using this ability to replenish her own life force; however, even so, her mere human body is already near death, with drastically reduced strength.

A dying 5-rank combat power matches well with a 3-rank instance.

After the witches found her, she was almost at her end. After a battle, she perished before the witches had the chance to convert her to one of their own, leaving behind only a relic, similar to an Extraordinary Relic.

Its effects were similar to the witch’s abilities, capable of strengthening or healing living beings, and was hence collected by the witches.

After confirming there was nothing left worth pursuing in this world, the witches started focusing their main energy on constructing the Magic Floating Island.

Of course, those chaotic Lords were not forgotten; a group of witches was specifically assigned to deal with these Lords.

On the other side, in the 2-tier instance, they had already driven out other Lords much earlier and were focusing on consolidating power to construct ship island.

However, due to extremely limited resources in the instance, even with a numeric advantage, the witches were constrained by the scarcity of materials and mechanical parts, slowing down the construction of the ship island.

To increase construction efficiency, the witches even began mining and forging steel themselves.

When Bai Yi logged out from the network, she had already planned investments for these two instances.

The food in front of her had turned cold due to her neglect, yet it didn’t stop Bai Yi from enjoying it, first finishing off the remaining potato and steak, leaving the seafood soup for last.

It was also one of Bai Yi’s favorites, although seafood was not easily accessible to the former Bai Yi.

Before coming to this world, there was a distance from the sea, and seafood was naturally not so easy to come by.

And those expensive iced products could not often appear on the dining table due to the deliberately hidden family conditions at home, only as occasional surprises.

After coming to this world, it goes without saying, for her Magic Power, she had been gnawing on fruits for over a month, her mouth had become bland.

Moreover, before obtaining area number 28, she couldn’t touch the sea at all, let alone the specialties of the sea.

Therefore, after having the conditions, she immediately urged her Sea Son to improve her diet.

And today, she finally tasted her favorite flavor after a long time.

Even though it was already lukewarm, and the texture and taste had weakened, Bai Yi still had a special affection for this flavor.

Even the leftover pieces of meat in the bowl were not left behind, but eaten one by one, trying to identify their origins.

"Lobster meat, crab meat, some kind of snail meat, sea shell..."

Although she couldn’t name them all, Bai Yi greatly delighted in these pieces of meat taken from mutated marine creatures, happy to identify their species.

But soon, Bai Yi’s muttering stopped, and she fell into thought.

"Is this seaweed?"

Bai Yi’s silence was not because the seaweed was particularly special; on the contrary, it was quite ordinary, not even a mutated plant, simply used by a witch as an ingredient for seasoning the soup.

But Bai Yi associated it with the Fungus Blanket she was studying.

"If I transform the Fungus Blanket into the form of seaweed, wouldn’t that solve the problem?

Normally the Fungus Blanket only needs to spread on the seabed, but they can grow tendrils similar to seaweed and spread to the sea surface!

They could even grow mushrooms on land in the form of seaweed, weaving sea mushrooms at the seabed!"

Expanding in the sea is much simpler than in the air!

After all, unlike on land, where it’s difficult to propagate upward due to gravity.

In the sea, due to buoyancy, as long as the biological structure is suitable and not destroyed by other external forces, it can even grow from the seabed to above the sea surface!

Compared to the underground, the sea has no resistance and expansion is much faster.

And three-dimensional propagation can also get a larger Magic Power extraction area, increasing the range of Magic Power extraction!

It could even be possible to build an even larger system in the sea, creating an underwater Blood Flesh Worm Nest.

Bai Yi’s thoughts became clearer, and she began to think about the specific modifications.

First of all, of course, it’s necessary to resolve how the Fungus Blanket can grow in the form of seaweed, which cannot be accomplished simply by making the Fungus Blanket pliable.

Given that the Fungus Blanket has already approached a Blood Flesh-like form, its own weight has become quite a bit heavier, and it wouldn’t just drift freely in seawater under accumulated circumstances.

It would be good if it doesn’t sink.

Supporting it with a physical structure is also unrealistic, unable to cope with ocean currents stronger than hurricanes.

It must extract appropriate genes from certain plants or even animals, or a special biological structure to provide buoyancy, in order to support the floating effect of the Fungus Blanket.

After solving the most important issue, the rest is much simpler.

Such as enhancing the structure of the Fungus Blanket to prevent it from being destroyed by mutated creatures.

Even giving the Fungus Blanket a certain underground combat capability to directly capture these approaching underwater creatures.

There’s also the issue of withstanding high pressure at the ocean floor, although this could be dealt with by adaptive evolution slowly gaining some resistance, letting the Fungus Blanket spread on its own.

Having a specific plan in mind, Bai Yi wanted to start working immediately to realize the idea.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, the Swarm Network suddenly sent a reminder.

Not many can directly "call" her in the Swarm Network, Bai Yi had set a special alert for those Swarm Consciousness or witches who have the authority.

And this alert, came from Shang Ji.

"Landon sent a private message, seeking my help?

How come a rank 3 investor hasn’t made a deal yet, but a rank 4 Lord is coming to invest directly?"

Bai Yi commented, quickly checking the specifics.

Feitisi: The only surviving First Generation Witch, thus many witches mistakenly believe she is the first witch in the world, revered by all witches and the only one the Church Court dares not contend with, but she herself knows that she has only managed to survive thus far by relying on her own abilities...

[Note: After all, we witches are better, praise the Primordial Witch! Gracing us with perfect bodies!]
