Chapter 81 Gene Seed (Second Update)
"Director, the download has been completed. When can I enter the game?"
“I downloaded it successfully too.”
"Download successful +1"
……
Half an hour later, Yu Ze led the researchers from the Genetic Modification Department to log into the game.
Although they were mentally prepared, after entering the game, Yu Ze and other researchers were still shocked by the flawless real scene before them.
However, they did not explore directly outward, but chose to communicate with the guide to understand the preliminary background and gameplay mode of the world.
After a long time, Yu Ze, who had understood the general situation, decided to start a genetic modification experiment.
But before that, they first need to solve the problem of game currency.
Without the power of sacrifice, you can't move forward.
As for purchasing sacrificial power with cash, this method does not seem to be feasible.
Lao Yang from the weapons R&D department said that the output of sacrifice power in this game is very small, but the gameplay that requires consumption is very large, and the number of players who pay money is far greater than the number of players who don't pay.
This makes it very difficult to acquire Jili.
The sacrificial power produced by many professional brick-moving teams is basically reserved in advance by major guilds and is not sold to the public at all.
Faced with this problem, Yu Ze chose to seek help from old friends.
Calling up the function panel, he added Lao Yang's in-game name "Da Sha Qi" as a friend.
Soon, a notification popped up indicating that the friend request had been approved.
Gene Front: Lao Yang, can you lend me some of your power? I can’t move an inch without money.
Yang Tianxuan, who had learned in advance that his old friend had led the Gene Division into the game, seemed somewhat helpless:
Big Killer: We are also short of sacrifice power, how can we give you more sacrifice power (Explorer Confused.jpg)
Gene Front: Stop talking nonsense, just support me first, and I will return it to you when I have enough power.
Big killer: no money.
Gene Front: You will definitely need the gene enhancement drugs we developed in the later stages. After all, you also need to improve your body-building level, right?
Big Killer: So what?
Gene Front: I will sell you the gene enhancement potion at cost price in the future. Don’t talk nonsense, give me 5000 points of sacrifice power first.
Big Killer: I agree to sell me the gene enhancement potion at cost price, but you are dreaming of asking for 5000 points of sacrifice power. I don’t have that much sacrifice power.
Gene Front: How much is left on your body?
Big killer: Only 4200 points, Xiaoye still has more than 16000, all his belongings are used up, and the rest of his strength is spent on buying materials.
Gene Front: Give me all the power you have, quickly.
Big Killer: Okay, I'll transfer it to you now, remember to return it.
……
After hanging up the call, a prompt sounded in Yu Ze's mind.
[Challenger Tips: Get the player's "Big Killer" transfer power: 4000 points. ]
With the power of sacrifice, Yu Ze decisively summoned the star vein strengthening interface.
After spending 500 points of sacrificial power to open up the second star vein, he bought another extracted soul worth 1000 points of sacrificial power and embedded it in the second soul slot.
Afterwards, the exchange began purchasing spiritual plants in bulk.
Diamond vine, moon grass, blood lotus, phantom light leaf... After completing the purchase, Yu Ze only had 823 points of sacrificial power left.
Under the expectant eyes of his subordinates, Yu Ze took out a moonflower from his space bag, then switched to the extraction form, transforming it into a half-meter-tall emerald green plant.
The extraction ability was released, and the Moon Grass wrapped by Yu Ze with branches turned yellow and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. The plant essence was continuously extracted like bubbles, and gathered above to form an expanding bubble.
Eventually, the Moonlight Grass was completely sucked dry, leaving only a pile of black powder.
There was also a ball of extract essence emitting green light in Yu Ze's hand.
Focus your eyes and analyze the information:
【Moonflower Grass Essence】
Spiritual Plant Level: 2
Item introduction: The essence energy purified and extracted from the level 2 spiritual plant Moonlight Grass, can be used for consumption, medicine making, etc.
……
Switching back to human form, Yu Ze placed the essence of Moonflower on his nose and sniffed it.
Suddenly, a strong medicinal aroma filled my nose.
Yu Ze was shocked by the special effects of the extraction.
The process of extracting the essence of spiritual plants in their laboratory is cumbersome, requiring a total of 10 steps to purify the spiritual plants into essence.
And the methods of extraction and purification of each spiritual plant are different.
But in this game, this step is shortened to the extreme, and it can be done in just one step.
Although this technology cannot be brought back to reality, with the help of the extraction characteristics, the efficiency of subsequent genetic modification experiments can be greatly improved.
Now that the plant essence extraction step is complete, you can try to make genetic seeds.
The so-called gene seeds are special organs cultivated with active energy particles in spiritual plants.
After entering the human body by swallowing, it will absorb blood and flesh energy to grow rapidly, release energy in the subject's body and affect, regulate and control the body's metabolic functions. During this process, the human body will reject the integration of the gene seed, and in severe cases it will cause the subject's genetic collapse and death.
If successful, the gene seed will be completely integrated into the subject's body and become a power source to strengthen the body.
This technology has been developed and evolved for more than a hundred years, but it has never been able to solve the problem of high mortality rate.
But in the game Monster World, Yu Ze doesn't need to worry about this problem.
He spent 100 points of sacrifice power to buy a bottle of intermediate mental repair potion and activated the eagle-headed demon's perception perspective.
Suddenly, the microscopic structure of the essence of the moonflower appeared in front of his eyes after being magnified. When his consciousness was projected outward, it was like a scalpel.
By modifying the structural pathway of plant essences, it becomes a special structure that is suitable for the human body.
It is equivalent to creating an energy-releasing program for the plant essence, which gradually releases spiritual particles through the path engraved in consciousness to attach to the flesh, bones, and meridians, so as to achieve the goal of gradually transforming the body.
If there is no engraved path, the spiritual particles implanted in the body will explode instantly, and the released energy particles will travel uncontrollably throughout the body.
An ordinary person's body simply cannot withstand this force wreaking havoc within the body.
Without the support of supporting experimental equipment, Yu Ze found the engraving process difficult.
Although his external perception ability could see the microscopic perspective of the essence of the spiritual plants, without the assistance of a robotic arm for control, his first attempt to change the path by externalizing his consciousness made the process of controlling the wandering of his consciousness seem very clumsy.
Snapped!
With a clear sound, the main structure of the Moon Flower Essence in his hand was destroyed by the engraving knife and turned into green energy particles and dissipated.
The first attempt ended in failure.
But Yu Ze did not give up and tried again decisively.
After switching the extraction form, he took out the Blood Lotus from his space bag and extracted a ball of Blood Lotus essence in the same way.
From a microscopic perspective, the interior of the Blood Lotus presents a complex combination of light spot structures, which is completely different from the structure of the Moon Grass Essence, and requires changing the new spiritual particle release path.
But this attempt still ended in failure.
After experiencing many failures, Yu Ze realized a problem.
The characteristics of the eagle-headed demon can help him open up a microscopic perspective and even change the path of the essence of the spiritual plants little by little through the outward consciousness.
But the strength of the extended consciousness control of a level 1 eagle-headed demon is far from enough.
He needs to upgrade the level of the eagle-headed demon's soul and strengthen his mental power and consciousness.
"Let's go out of the Novice Village and level up."
After failing in his initial attempt, Yu Ze chose to improve his strength first before considering genetic modification experiments.
This process can also help him accumulate the sacrificial power needed for subsequent experiments.
Once he has enough sacrificial power reserves, he can consider stopping going out hunting and earning sacrificial power income by selling gene seeds.
……
three days later.
With the help of the Doomsday Technology Guild, Yu Ze and his team members reached level 8 by hunting monsters.
Yu Ze, who was resurrected in Dizhong Village, chose to try the production of gene seeds again.
The level 8 eagle-headed demon has several times increased mental strength, mental recovery speed, and consciousness strength.
This gave Yu Ze the confidence to try again.
The attempt went unexpectedly smoothly. It took him an hour to reconstruct the internal structure of the spiritual plant and plan a release path for the spiritual particles. He successfully produced the first genetically modified seed.
After structural reorganization, the seeds are golden red in shape and the size of a thumb.
Trying to parse and read, the relevant information appeared in Yu Ze's mind.
[Spiritual Seed] Item quality: ordinary level 3.
Item introduction: A personalized strengthening item made by the player "Gene Front", which is engraved with the essence of Moon Grass and Valley Grass. Swallowing it can obtain a spiritual particle strengthening state that lasts for 1 hour. After the strengthening process is completed, you can get a body building experience bonus. Due to poor skills, it will cause continuous damage to the body after consumption.
……
Yu Ze did not feel embarrassed when he saw the "poor technology" in the analysis introduction.
Looking at the solidified enhanced seeds in his hand, he decided to try the results himself.
Drop the spiritual seed into your mouth and swallow it directly.
After a brief silence, veins popped up on Yu Ze's face and his face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The pain feedback had been reduced to the lowest 10%, but the intense pain still made Yu Ze wail and roll on the ground.
At the same time, game prompts kept ringing in his mind:
[Challenger Tips: Obtain spiritual seed strengthening transformation, body forging experience +3. ]
[Challenger's Tip: The machine has been hit by a spiritual shock and sustained damage.]
If this trend continues, he will die before his strengthening is completed.
Enduring the severe pain, Yu Ze decisively called out the mall interface to buy a bottle of healing potion, unscrewed the lid and poured it into his mouth.
Suddenly, the two forces in the body began to pull each other between destruction and repair.
During this period, Yu Ze almost fainted from the pain several times, but he still managed to get through it with his strong willpower.
After an hour of torture, Yu Ze drank a total of 9 bottles of healing potions that cost 10 points of sacrifice power, and only then was he able to barely withstand the damage to his body caused by the spiritual seeds.
With a long sigh of relief, he called up the attribute panel.
[Challenger Name: Gene Front]
Subject form: Human
Bodybuilding level: 0 (318/10000)
Star Vein Inlay (Level 2):
First slot: Eagle-headed demon level 8 (feature: mournful chant)
Second slot: Extraction level 1 (Feature: Extraction)
Main form bonus: All attributes +2.3 (if the body has not reached level 1, no additional attributes will be inherited)
……
During this transformation, he gained 318 points of body building experience.
At the same time, the physical fitness enhancement effect of +2.3 for all attributes in human form is obtained.
But Yu Ze was not satisfied with this result.
The materials used for this enhancement are the Level 2 spiritual plant Konggu Grass and the Level 1 spiritual plant Yuehua Grass purchased in the mall. The combined selling price is 235 points of sacrifice power. In addition, 9 bottles of primary healing potions were consumed during the enhancement process, so the total cost is 325 points of sacrifice power.
But the bodybuilding experience gained from strengthening is 318.
No matter how you calculate it, he lost 17 points of sacrifice power.
No player would be willing to buy this gene seed. It would be more convenient to directly consume the sacrificial power to increase the body-building experience.
Without price advantage, genetic seeds have no market.
Yu Ze realized that he had to find a way to regulate the release path of the gene seeds to reduce the physical damage caused by the enhancement.
But the problem is that the arrangement structure of spiritual particles inside each spiritual plant essence is different. Different spiritual plants require different release paths to be engraved. It takes a lot of time to conduct research on arrangements and combinations to fuse the essences of two spiritual plants to achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2.
This problem is difficult for Zeton.
He could find ways to solve other problems, but he couldn't find a solution to the problem of sacrificial power.
Without the support of sacrificial power, subsequent research cannot be carried out at all.
He must produce a batch of cost-effective genetic seeds as soon as possible and create a positive cycle of income by selling these seeds.
Faced with his subordinates' questions, Yu Ze did not answer, but chose to consume the remaining sacrificial power and start research and testing again.
This time, he changed the direction of the engraved path.
……
Two days later.
A post on the forum quickly topped the popularity list.
[Who the hell developed this thing? I want to know who it is. Don’t let me catch you. Is this something a human can make? ]

In addition to complaining, this post is also a reminder for everyone.
Never buy the "Gene Seeds", a new custom product newly launched in the trading house. I have been punished for being greedy.
This is the specific situation.
I have recently stockpiled a batch of sacrificial power, intending to use it to improve my body forging level first, thinking of hunting outside in the main form in the future.
In order to save the cost of increasing my body-building experience, I would often visit trading houses to pick up bargains, specifically choosing those spiritual plants that were priced lower than the cost price to eat.
As a result, when I was browsing the trading house this morning, I found that a special product called "Gene Seed" had been added to the custom product area.
The product introduction shows that eating it can improve the level of body building, but the body will be damaged in the process of strengthening. I thought that there was no need to be afraid of damage, even if my hands and feet were broken, I could be reborn through resurrection.
After asking for guidance, I learned that I could indeed gain more experience points than the cost price of the body-building experience, so I spent 380 points of sacrifice power to buy one.
This decision makes me regret it so much.
When I first ate it, I didn’t take it seriously. I was still thinking about going out hunting with the group later.
But the subsequent reinforcement feedback taught me a lesson.
How can I describe it? It was like a psychic bomb exploded in my body, or like millions of fine needles piercing an inch of my skin at the same time. The four words "ten thousand ants devouring my heart" took shape in my mind. The pain almost suffocated me, and my body twitched uncontrollably.
During this period, I could clearly feel something moving inside my body, and every time it passed through a place, it would leave a persistent burning sensation.
The pain was so severe that I almost thought I was going to see my great grandfather. My muscles were cramping all over and I felt like I was losing consciousness.
This hour felt as long as a century, and I thought about dying during it.
But I was unwilling to let the more than 300 points of sacrifice power go to waste. I had already held on for more than 10 minutes, and I didn't care about the remaining 40 minutes. So I chose to drink the healing potion to hold on.
I almost fainted after persisting until the end of the strengthening.
Guess what?
Here are the statistics (attached: screenshots).
Strengthening brought me a 534-point bodybuilding experience bonus, and the cost of purchasing genetic potions was 380 points of sacrifice power, plus the expenditure of 15 bottles of healing potions, the total cost was 530 points of sacrifice power.
I was tortured by pain for an hour and only earned 4 points of sacrifice power.
If they gave me a few hundred extra body-building experience points, I would have endured it and considered it a loss, but this is a 4 point benefit, who can tolerate it?
Do you know how I felt after seeing the statistics? I was about to collapse. The profit was 4 times the cost price. I just wanted to know which psychopath made it. Have you tried it yourself?
You really have the courage to put this product on the shelves. Who the hell would endure 4 hour of painful torture for the benefit of 1 points of sacrifice power...
The above content is absolutely true.
Finally, you bastard who made the potion, don’t let me catch you!
……
Magic Bald: What the hell, gene seeds? Isn't this the key technology for making super gene warriors in the real world? How come it appears in the game? The player who made this must be a super boss in the real world. How can ordinary people have access to this kind of technology? So how many big bosses have mixed in the game?
The Night is Coming: I am dying of laughter. There are more and more talented people emerging recently. There was the Arms Dealers Guild in front, and now there is another Desperate Pharmacist in secret. The most important thing is that this Desperate Pharmacist player actually dared to sell his immature technology for money. It's too cruel. Fortunately, the OP tried it in advance, otherwise I might have fallen into the trap out of curiosity.
Gene Front: I think the development of new genres in the game will definitely face a series of problems in the early stages, and everyone should support it with an inclusive attitude. All players will benefit when this technology matures. It may be that the team researching gene seeds is too short of manpower, so they choose to put gene potions on the shelves to recover funds. The author's performance is a bit radical. We are all brothers in the same camp, and the pain you endure may very well bring about the advancement of new technology.
Is this beaver? Reply to Gene Front: Seeing that you have explained so much, is there a possibility that you sold this gene seed? (奇蝶疏抑.jpg)
Gene Front replied to the beaver: Don’t talk nonsense, my name just contains the word “gene”, I can’t make gene seeds at all.
Game brick-moving party: Hahahaha, one hour of painful torture in exchange for 4 points of sacrifice power gain, it seems that the brother who sells this potion is really short of money, otherwise I can’t imagine what kind of brain circuit can make him do such a heinous thing. But I am looking forward to the upgrade of gene seed technology, the cost of improving body forging experience is really too high, I hope the big guy can bring down the price.
……
Yu Ze felt embarrassed after reading the comments on the forum.
If it weren't for raising funds for the next technological upgrade, he wouldn't sell the gene seeds.
Now that things had gotten serious, he decisively removed the remaining three gene seeds that were on consignment at the trading house.
These three seeds are all made from level 2 spiritual plants, and the cost price is more than 350 points of sacrificial power.
This post has been pinned to the top of the homepage, and the remaining three gene seeds will definitely not be sold.
But he couldn't bear to waste it like this.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at his team members who were fighting fiercely with monsters not far away.
"I have something to tell you. I'm afraid we can't sell the remaining three gene seeds. Why don't we use them ourselves?"
After hearing Yu Ze's speech in the voice channel, the expressions of the team members became very interesting. They responded in the voice channel one after another, giving way to each other, and the atmosphere was peaceful.
