Tentacles

The improvement brought about by the Skull Upgrade was even greater than Han Dong had expected.

He is supporting himself on the table with one hand.

There were even tentacles that drilled in and out of Han Dong's seven orifices.

His pupils still shimmered with a hint of emptiness... As an astronaut, Han Dong reached his lifespan limit after only peeking three times from behind that door, and was thus forcibly removed from service.

However, even just three eyes granted Han Dong indescribable knowledge of the void.

The choice between "prison" and "laboratory".

Having glimpsed the knowledge of the void, Han Dong decisively chose the latter.

"Please add an additional laboratory."

"The choice has been made, and the result cannot be changed... The laboratory (void) is being created, which will take approximately 9 hours and 34 minutes."

Han Dong didn't care about the time.

Having spent his life as an astronaut in a strange world, he was in a state of extreme mental strain and needed a full day of rest.

Deep sleep without any dreams.

"Beep beep beep! The expansion of the Experiment Zone is complete."

When Han Dong woke up, he found himself lying on a folding bed.

He clearly remembered falling asleep on the table, which seemed to be the folding bed that the AI system in the lab had provided for Han Dong.

Currently, on an empty wall in the Biological Laboratory, a black triangular mark is flickering slightly.

As Han Dong reached out and touched it, the wall immediately Transform Into into an iron gate bearing a triangular mark.

A familiar, ethereal aura seeped out from the crack in the door.

Behind the door are three layers of highly airtight leather curtains, which serve as a barrier to prevent any impact on the sterile Biological Laboratory where Han Dong is located.

As you pass through layers of curtains, a small laboratory that occupies only one-third of the main area comes into view.

A grayish-purple style.

The main material used to construct the laboratory is similar to the void crystal used by Dean Richard.

Three walls in the laboratory (excluding the wall where the entrance is located) are painted with a "three-state transformation diagram" that Han Dong is familiar with... The body imprinted with the Void Mark will undergo three stages of change:

[Aether → Starlight → Causality]

The images correspond to the body, soul, and origin, respectively.

A rather complex glass apparatus has been erected on the experimental table, and an ultra-high-speed centrifuge is also attached to the side.

Simply put a centrifuged stock solution into a beaker.

Once the alcohol lamp is lit for distillation, the entire apparatus can operate automatically.

The finished liquid obtained from the end of the syringe collection device was then returned to Han Dong's main body (Cell Cluster).

Han Dong didn't even need to ask a question; the AI-powered laboratory's internal system had already begun explaining the significance and usage of the [Void Laboratory].

"Because your head is a special individual with 'no attributes,' it can adapt to the amplification of any attribute."

The current laboratory is dedicated to research on "the void".

If the main body collects excess Cellular Essence (high quality or above), it can take it to the Void Laboratory for purification. The entire experimental system will transform the "Cellular Essence" into "Void essence".

Injecting Void Essence into the main cells will not increase Load Value or be used for head upgrades.

The only upgrade available for the tentacles.

"Nice!!"

Hearing this explanation, Han Dong felt like he had discovered a new continent.

Tentacles have always been Han Dong's biggest trump card.

When he Oldest One acquired Nicholas's body and entered the Destiny Space for the first time, he was able to instantly kill the evil spirit by using his tentacles.

This External Manifestation originating from the Otherworldly Demons is precisely the direction Han Dong wants to develop.

Before breaking the seed, Han Dong only performed the simplest release and retraction.

It was only because of the addition of the Scarlet Count's consciousness that the tentacles were able to undergo a bloodhound-like transformation (isomerization), but the essence of the tentacles did not change... they were still Gray Tentacles with spots.

Unfortunately, Han Dong does not currently have high-quality Cellular Essence on hand.

All the essence had been used up during the Skull Upgrade, so I continued to inquire with the laboratory system:

"What specific changes will occur with the upgraded tentacles?"

"The infusion of Void Attribute will endow the tentacles with 'space'-related abilities, primarily manifested as 'adsorption' and 'pulling'."

In an instant, the high-dimensional scene he saw when he passed through that door flashed into Han Dong's mind.

It seems to have foreseen the scene of it achieving "short-distance Spatial Transfer" through its tentacles.

Tentacles shot out from the palm adhere to the surface of a certain substance, and through spatial pulling, the main body is directly brought to the location where the tentacles adhere.

"Hahaha!!"

The fleeting image made Han Dong unable to contain his excitement, and he burst into laughter.

"It seems... we'll need to collect some more high-quality essences while searching for the Joker."

Upgrading the tentacles will greatly increase the success rate of finding the ultimate treasure.

My decision was absolutely right. With three Contained Object already, adding an extra laboratory is better than adding cells.

Moreover, due to the upgrade of the brain, all of its overall attributes have been improved... whether it is the amount of tentacles, brain capacity, computing power or mental strength.

I can release tentacles faster, more accurately, and in greater quantities.

"Under the current circumstances, Miss Jian's illusions can only affect me if they are coordinated with someone else."

After obtaining satisfactory results, Han Dong left the laboratory.

"Master!" As he walked down the prison corridor, preparing to return to the church, he was suddenly stopped by Togu.

"If the owner has the time, could you use your legitimate residency status to visit my former residence?"

After experiencing this series of events, Togu showed a strong desire to grow and wanted to return to the life he once had Hidden Resident.

"Don't worry, now that you've finally made it to Inside Derry Town, I'll naturally help you find that lost demonic power... If someone has taken over your place, it'll be perfect as a resource for my experiments."

"Thank you, Master."

Togu made a very standard bowing gesture.

Han Dong looked at the other two Contained Object, "Miss Chen Li, Nicole... I will find a way to raise your rank after this incident is over."

Chen Li, dressed in red, floated inside the cell, repeatedly banging her head against the wall.

The lack of strength shown in the incident was a huge blow to Chen Li.

Nicole was also drawing circles in place... The despair she felt from being captured and suppressed by Dean Richard inside the pyramid made her mood rather low.

However, the thought of Han Dong peeling away the colors and risking injury to save her made Nicole blush and her antennae flutter wildly, slapping haphazardly against the walls of the cell.

The Contained Object appear to be in good condition.

Han Dong then left the Portable Prison with peace of mind... It took a whole day to finally finish dealing with his personal matters.

There is still no news from the Town Hall.

Han Dong, walking through the wheat fields at night, made a phone call to Diana, who was just about to fall asleep, and arranged to meet her at a convenience store.

After a full day of rest, Diana was still in a 'soft' state.

Bone loss seems difficult to reverse.

Upon meeting, her body, as soft as mud, immediately slumped onto the table, her short black hair hanging down on the surface, staring at Han Dong with a sleepy look in her eyes.

"Let's talk about [Abyssal Transformation]."
