Chapter 80 Genetic Modification Department
Chapter 80 Genetic Modification Department (First Update)
Returning to the Yuanchu Altar, Qi Sheng sat down cross-legged.
After the short journey, he returned to his busy state, looking through the information generated by players and looking for directions for updates and optimizations.
The mechanical overlord he met during this trip has been marked by him as a hostile force.
The Mechanical Overlord's goal of crushing the monster world is destined to run counter to his ultimate goal.
But we don't need to pay attention to this hostile force for now.
At least before the player army advances to the Rumbling Continent, it will not pose a substantial threat to the development of the player army.
In his eyes, the vast world of monsters seemed to become very exciting during the years when the four gods disappeared.
The terrifying Black Tide, the Counter Tide Legion, the Mechanical Overlord... apparently countless new forces are rising in this ancient and vast world, staging an unprecedented grand epic battle.
Qi Sheng is looking forward to the future where many heroes will compete for supremacy.
Now those who were clearly marked as hostile forces by him were the Terror Black Tide and the Mechanical Overlord. As for the Counter Tide Legion, he was not sure whether they were enemies or friends, or whether there was a conflict of interest.
Thinking of this, Qi Sheng looked up at the guiding water ball floating beside him:
"Guide, if I use my identity as Emperor Omen to win over this unknown Baji God, what is the probability of success?"
[Boss, without specific conditions for analysis, I don't know if Nichao can be won over... It's better not to contact him for the time being before knowing his specific situation. The identity of the heir of Emperor's Omen is too sensitive. If it is exposed rashly, it will inevitably attract the attention of various forces, including traitors and powerful external enemies who are greedy for the power of Emperor's Omen.]
Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng nodded to show his understanding.
The four great servants had all said similar things to him.
Emperor Omen is the creator of the monster world, and its power is irresistible even to the manipulator behind the black tide.
Before you have sufficient strength, revealing your identity would be a suicidal act.
By then, all forces will gather together, and the player army will no longer have room for development. He will also completely lose the initiative, become the center of contention among all forces, and go with the flow.
This was also the reason why he chose to burn sacrificial power when going out hunting.
Without thinking about this question too much, Qi Sheng's eyes jumped to the forum.
While quickly flipping through the pages, a post that was refreshed 3 seconds ago caught his attention.
【It's finally my turn to get rich. Before I successfully accept it, I'll post a thread to attract fire. The more you spray, the happier I am, because I know you are jealous. If you want to curse, come to my live broadcast room. It would be best if you can give me some money. 】
Poster: The hero kills my teammate first
Content: (Live broadcast link)
……
Qi Sheng's gaze jumped to the live broadcast room.
In the live broadcast footage shot from the perspective of the guiding avatar, three players were fighting fiercely with a emerald green plant in a crater west of the Earth Rift Furnace area.
The roots of the plant pierced into the earth, and its branches and trunk were like flexible whips, which whipped the three players, making them scream. Each blow left a red mark on their bodies. The black-armored snake at the front was beaten to pieces, with most of its scales falling off.
But these three players did not retreat, and they continued to fight while howling.
Look at the analysis screenshot in the lower left corner of the screen.
【Extraction (first generation source)】:
Hunting Level: 18
Guide analysis: A special monster that controls the original power and has the special ability to extract plant essence.
……
When they saw that it was the original monster, the whole screen in the live broadcast room was filled with the same voice "You deserve to die".
What was most unbearable to the onlookers was that the three-player team was apparently about to successfully contain Yuanchu.
It can be seen that most of the branches waving by "Extraction" have been broken, and the frequency of waving and whipping is decreasing over time. It is only a matter of time before they are contained.
"A fierce snake coils."
With a roar, a ten-meter-long black-armored snake in the picture pounced on Extraction with dense branches whipping around it, and tightly entangled itself around Extraction.
"Ouch, it hurts, it hurts, hurry up and output, my soul is about to be sucked out."
Although 90% of the pain was shielded, the remaining 10% of the pain feedback still made the player who chose the Black Armored Snake grimace, and then he bit down hard on the extraction trunk, with his sharp teeth piercing the epidermis and penetrating deep into it.
Upon seeing this, the other two teammates raised their hands, condensed an inky fireball and threw it towards the extraction.
After the fireball came into contact with the extraction, it turned into a tongue of fire and spread, but after a few seconds it was extinguished by the green light released from the extraction and could not cause any lasting damage.
The fierce battle lasted another five minutes.
The extraction completely lost the energy to continue fighting, and the branches drooped weakly.
As two huge fireballs hit the extraction, the inky flames continued to burn fiercely, and the branches of the extraction drooped, withered and shrank.
The black-armored snake teammate who was still entangled was also ignited by the inky flames. After loosening his tense body, he fell to the ground and rolled over:
"Unfilial son, give me a bottle of medicine quickly, it hurts so much for dad."
"Damn it, I definitely won't do close combat in my next life. This is too painful. I've received more beatings than I did just now. It almost took my soul away."
Amid the scolding of the leading player, the other two players came to help, muttering:
"Brother Dian, close combat is the choice of a true man. You are the strongest in our team, and you are the best at close combat."
"Brother Dian, quickly change the gargoyle. The black-armored snake is still a little weak in terms of sustaining injuries. Only the most powerful gargoyle is the most suitable for your soul."
Just as the three members of the team were talking, an announcement sounded on the entire channel:
[Challenger Tips (All Channels): Congratulations to the player who killed my teammate first, I am a teammate, I am a hero, and successfully killed the first generation of the original monster Extraction, and received the sacrifice power reward: 10000 points (shared by participating players)]
Amid the barrage of comments from the onlookers, the three players were laughing happily.
After switching to human form, the leading player stroked his hair with his visibly swollen head towards the camera and said coquettishly:
"Contain Yuanchu, easily, go off the air!"
The live broadcast was then cut off.
Half an hour later, the forum was filled with reviews of the new Origin Soul "Extraction".
Among them, the most popular one is the review shared by players of "Night is Coming".
[Don't rush me, the preliminary review post is here. 】
Posted by: The night is coming
Contents:
Before explaining the evaluation content, let me first give you a BUFF. The content of this evaluation is for reference only. If you have different opinions, you can discuss them together. Uncivilized language is not allowed in the comment area.
Let’s get to the point.
I can tell you clearly that this is the weakest soul in this version, no doubt about it.
Of course, the worst version I refer to here is only the current version. In the future, there may be compatible souls that will perform very well.
Just like the souls I reviewed before, such as Brain Overclocking, Good Luck, and Great Fortune, they seemed to be useless souls in the early stages, but were later proven to have excellent performance by matching them with other adaptive souls.
The same is true for extracting the soul.
The ability of this soul is to extract the essence of spiritual plants.
I conducted many tests and found that this soul is only effective against plant life, but the effect is pitifully weak.
The test target is a level 10 ghost tree. The damage caused by using extraction each time is not as good as a level 10 force axe. It is simply useless.
Although extraction can extract plant energy, it doesn't mean much to us.
We can just sacrifice the spiritual plants directly to Brother Di Zhao. Why bother with an additional extraction procedure? The sacrificial power obtained will not increase.
Unless the monster world opens up professions like alchemists in the future, I can’t imagine what the use of extracting souls is.
The full test video is placed below, and those who are interested can take a look.
Finally, the role of extracted soul in the current version is the weakest among any souls, and can be listed at the top of the list of the ten weakest souls.
……
Learning has no end: I was excited when I saw a new soul being accepted, but I didn’t expect it to be a useless soul. I continued to kill evil spirits.
This beaver: I thought the effect of extracting soul was to draw the target's life energy and restore one's own blood, but I didn't expect it to be the ability to extract the essence of resources. After reading Brother Heiye's text introduction, I was too lazy to even click on the evaluation video. It is definitely a crappy soul.
I'm tempted to kill: What I want most now is the invisibility, movement, and ultimate move in the test tower's soul library. With my black armor snake's venom, I can play the assassin style that I've always dreamed of. I hope I can play this style in my lifetime.
The Night is Coming (the original poster) replied to Sha Xindongle: I advise you to continue matching the existing souls and not plan for future matches. The world view of this game is very large. I asked for guidance and it said that the Emperor Tomb Mountains area we explored is only a small corner of the monster world. This shows that the Eclipse Clan intends to develop and operate this game for a long time. There may be many souls that we cannot accommodate in this lifetime, and it is even difficult to see them. We have to rely on the efforts of our descendants.
The brick-moving party in the game replied to The Night is Coming: Damn, what you said is so hurtful. When I have money, I will go to the moon base to get an injection of life-extending gene medicine.
Super God Old Hen: There are more and more souls being taken in, but the real gods in this version are always magic, especially the recently developed clone fireball flow, which is too brutal. When will our melee combat have a chance to come out? (The God of Wealth clenched his fist and turned red.jpg)
Lucky European Emperor: I am not very interested in melee and ranged combat, I only want the Shadow Legion school. It feels great to think about getting stronger by just lying down.
……
Just when players were hotly discussing the extraction of souls.
The exit of Tezuka Village.
Yang Tianxuan of the Doomsday Technology Guild is testing the power of the fourth-generation psychic firearms.
With the foundation of the previous three generations of transformation, they carried out more detailed transformation and upgrade of the structure of the psychic firearms. His eyes swept over the guild members who were testing the power of the psychic firearms not far away.
The tester switched to the bonefire form and took out the psychic firearm from the space bag.
After pulling the trigger, the flames on the surface of the body continue to flow into the gun body.
The muzzle of the gun then spewed out bullets with inky flames, setting the blood corpse on fire not far ahead. The continuously exploding bullets caused wave after wave of continuous damage, making it impossible for the blood corpse to get close.
Two minutes later, the blood corpse was completely motionless, leaving only its charred remains on the ground.
The All Things Extraction System in the Challenger System was activated, extracting the blood corpse whose "life stability structure" was destroyed, turning it into a ball of gray mist and flying towards the player who killed the blood corpse.
"Director Yang, the initial test results are good, but the gun body will be continuously burned and damaged in the bone fire form, and the durability of the weapon will be exhausted in a short time."
"It's okay. The human form can also use the power of Bone Fire. When other players' bodybuilding levels go up, they won't need to maintain the Bone Fire form all the time. Don't worry about this problem."
After saying that, Yang Tianxuan looked at the tester on the other side.
The biggest improvement of the fourth-generation psychic firearms compared to the previous three generations is that they can be used in conjunction with soul abilities.
For example, the flame released by the bone fire form can be injected into the gun body, and after fusing with the energy provided by the spirit stone, it condenses into an ink flame bullet inside. The performance of the initial test is excellent.
When other elemental attack souls are accommodated in the future, they can also be used in conjunction with fourth-generation psychic firearms to cause continuous elemental damage bombardment to the target.
At this moment, a message popped up in Yang Tianxuan's mind, indicating that there was a video connection.
After the connection was established, a light screen popped up in front of him. The man in the picture had a slicked-back hair, slightly gray hair, and a face wrapped in a thick beard.
"Xiao Ye, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yang Tianxuan asked curiously.
The man in the picture is named Cheng Ye, and he is a team leader in their weapons research and development department.
After entering the game and creating the Doomsday Technology Guild, Cheng Ye chose a path that was completely different from theirs, and the star veins inlaid were all melee-type souls.
The purpose of doing this is also for weapons research and development.
Recently they are preparing to build a simple furnace for smelting spirit ore. It is impossible for this group of weak R&D personnel to do it alone, and they also need power players to complete the task of rubbing the smelting furnace by hand.
Cheng Ye chose a position similar to that of a mechanical engineer, responsible for hard work such as manufacturing and maintenance.
He was also responsible for the recent creation of a batch of measuring tools.
Facing his question, a smile appeared on Cheng Ye's face on the screen:
"Boss, have you read the latest soul evaluation post on the forum?"
"Is it the extraction of soul that was just prompted?" Yang Tianxuan asked curiously.
"Yes, it's this extraction of souls. You can check the forum..."
After hanging up the call, Yang Tianxuan was curious and didn't understand what Cheng Ye wanted to express.
But he still decisively called out the function panel and opened the forum page.
I searched the popularity list and soon locked onto the review post published by Dark Night.
Looking through the content of the post, Yang Tianxuan's expression gradually changed.
"Extracting plant essence?"
He suddenly realized why Cheng Ye suddenly found him.
Extracting the original characteristics of the soul reminded him of a special department of the Sky Dome Technology Research and Development Center, the "Gene Modification Department".
This department was established after the Eclipse tribe gifted the Terran Federation gene-editing technology.
The original purpose of its establishment was to use gene editing technology to create a group of super gene warriors for the Human Federation. Secondly, it also has the grand pursuit of exploring the mysteries of life and promoting the progress of biological sciences.
To date, the Genetic Modification Department has created 100,000 super gene warriors for the Human Federation, and has also made many contributions in the fields of agricultural biotechnology and medical health.
Today, genetic modification experiments are divided into two types.
The first is gene editing, which optimizes the gene sequence to give soldiers strong physique and strength.
The second is the transformation that implants spiritual seeds.
The most commonly used transformation material for this type of transformation is: spiritual plants.
Unlike the wild spiritual plants in the monster world, the spiritual plants in the real world are cultivated indoors and their growth is catalyzed by continuous energy infusion.
Both the efficacy and growth rate are far inferior to those in the monster world.
The strengthening method is to extract spiritual medicine to stimulate and strengthen human genes so that it can evolve.
This is also the most advanced transformation technology at this stage.
However, this process involves great risks. The success rate of creating genetic warriors is less than 30%. Most of the warriors participating in the experiment will die after suffering a series of diseases such as physiological dysfunction, immune system collapse, nervous system abnormalities, etc. due to rapid gene collapse.
He had talked with an old friend in the genetic research and development department and learned that solving the problem of genetic modification required improvements in two aspects.
The first is the quality of the spiritual plant.
The Human Federation has limited technology for cultivating spiritual plants and is unable to cultivate high-quality spiritual plants. If there is a genetically modified liquid obtained by extracting high-quality spiritual plants, the risk of death during the transformation process can be reduced.
The second is the physical fitness of the participants.
The higher the physical fitness, the lower the risk of genetic modification that can be tolerated.
These two problems can be solved in the monster world after the emergence of soul extraction.
First of all, in the real world, when it comes to extracting medicinal liquids, we need the assistance of highly precise and advanced instruments, which are required to retain the essence of the spiritual plants while removing all kinds of impurities.
But in the monster world, this can be done in a short time through the extraction feature.
Most importantly, Monster World has a wide variety of high-quality spiritual plants to choose from.
The second issue is the physical fitness of those undergoing reform.
Monster World is essentially a game. If a transformed person dies during the experiment, they can be resurrected by simply waiting for a one-hour cooldown period, so there is no risk of casualties.
His heart was pounding. He felt that the "extraction" feature, which was ranked at the bottom in the eyes of the forum players, was simply a magical skill in the eyes of those guys in the genetic modification department.
This means that they can conduct genetic modification experiments in the game without regard to risks.
As long as you have enough sacrificial power, you can buy as many spiritual plants as you want.
When the Yuntian field node is accommodated in the future, the player camp will even be able to mass-produce spiritual plants.
As for the transformation effect, he felt that it was most likely related to improving body-building experience.
If this is true, those guys in the Genetic Modification Department could even earn huge profits by selling genetic potions that improve body-building experience, and then use the funds to build genetic modification laboratories and purchase spiritual plants.
Thinking of this, Yang Tianxuan immediately decided to tell his old friend the news.
Calling up the function panel, he chose to exit the game.
As the 30-second countdown numbers appeared in his eyes, spiritual patterns quickly formed and connected to each other inside Yang Tianxuan's invisible body.
The countdown returned to zero, and the consciousness transmission array in the body was activated.
……
Dome Technology R&D Center.
"Old Yang, so you have already started developing weapons in the game?"
Looking at his old friend with a surprised expression on the video screen, Yang Tianxuan nodded without hesitation:
"This game has a virtual environment that perfectly simulates real-world physics. It's very suitable for weapons research and development and power testing. I certainly won't miss it. Your genetic modification technology can also be improved there..."
After listening to Yang Tianxuan's story, Yu Ze showed a helpless look on his face:
"Your idea is good, but the problem is that we can't even buy the game qualification for the Dark Land, including the brother who was in charge of the purchase task of the trading center last time... Qin Ye, right... He sent me a cracked version of the game link, but every time I clicked to download it, a pop-up window prompted that the quota had been distributed."
Hearing this, Yang Tianxuan fell silent.
He had also encountered this problem, but he didn't expect that his old friend was unable to get the qualification for the cracked version.
"Okay, I've listened to your suggestion. I will find a way to solve the problem of game qualifications. I will submit another application soon and ask the higher-ups to ask for a batch of game qualifications from the Dark Land through diplomatic means."
……
After hanging up the video call, Yu Ze sat in the office with a helpless expression.
He had also thought about Lao Yang's suggestion.
But the problem is that the number of places issued by the official version of Eclipse Clan is very small, and it is impossible to get the qualification to play the game. Even the cracked version is difficult to qualify, which is really too much.
Tan took a breath and looked up at the virtual desktop. He tried to click on the shortcut URL saved in the lower right corner of the desktop.
The pop-up web page will then jump to the download address of the cracked version of Dark Land.
Yu Ze, who had no hope, chose to click download again.

"What the hell?!"
