Chen Yi was not missing, of course; it's just that no one noticed him.
In a world where 6 meters is considered a normal height, Chen Yi is 1.8 meters tall, doesn't look like a combatant at all.
Coupled with their Lab Coat, their sealed-off aura, and the barrage of incomprehensible jargon during communication, they give you the feeling of being intellectually crushed.
If you say he's not a researcher, nobody will believe you.
Knowing in advance that the World Heart would not appear before the Marineford War, Chen Yi focused on learning how to create Devil Fruit.
Its full name is: SMILE, the Artificial Devil Fruit!
Having dedicated decades to scientific research, Aishar felt for the first time how vast the differences between people truly were.
They were stunned by the speed at which Chen Yi acquired knowledge.
Chen Yi ignored Aishar, who was crying and sniffling. People in this world tend to have rich and exaggerated emotions.
It has to be said, this is indeed a terrible place.
No matter what experimental materials are missing, as long as they are mentioned, someone will quickly find them.
The researchers only need to consider one thing: optimizing the current manufacturing process.
The method of Artificial Devil Fruit was far inferior to what Chen Yi had imagined.
There are only Artificial Devil Fruit made of animals.
The progress in conquering Artificial Devil Fruit of Superman, Natural, and others is infinitely close to zero.
Chen Yi flipped through the recent experimental records.
Artificial Devil Fruit, once consumed, are not as powerful as genuine Devil Fruit.
Moreover, it has strong side effects.
For example, an animal's tissue might grow on the body.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with the appearance.
If a normal animal eats Devil Fruit, a part of its body will turn into the torso of an animal, and it will grow a tail/horns.
If...
What grew was a head, and a conscious head at that?
Test sample 1xx235;
It is 3.5 meters tall and weighs 657 kg.
Good health.
Experiment time: xx month xx day xx hour xx second.
Performance;
A lion's head grew on his belly, and his physical fitness improved slightly.
1 hour and 36 minutes after the start of the experiment: The lion's head has fully grown, its physical attributes have further improved, and a struggle for body control occurs between it and the experimental subject.
At 12 hours and 21 minutes after the start of the experiment: the test subject fell asleep, the lion that grew out ate the test subject, and died itself.
The experiment is over.
The reason why it grew a lion's head was naturally because the Artificial Devil Fruit used the corresponding base.
What puzzled Chen Yi was why the not-so-powerful beast Ji Xu possessed extraordinary strength.
Could it be that something similar to Chakra exists in this world, constantly flowing and reincarnating?
When Devil Fruit appears, it absorbs this power, thus undergoing a transformation.
It is worth studying.
If they could master the method of mass-producing the fruit, another large sum of money would come their way.
As for why we don't go looking for the World Heart.
There are Fire Dragon, Chuka, Tonight Eat What to search for. One more Chen Yi won't make a difference, and one less Chen Yi won't make a difference either.
Chen Yi was more inclined to believe that the Tonight Eat What was an absurd stroke of luck.
" Aishar, I need the following materials."
Chen Yi applied for a large number of items without any hesitation.
Aishar pushed up his reading glasses. "I can understand the rest, but what was that Sea King corpse used for?"
Chen Yi looked at Aishar expressionlessly. "If a living lion were to fight Sea King, who do you think would survive in the end?"
"Of course, it's Sea King."
"Reason."
" Sea King are much larger, and their skin, muscles, and bones are all on a completely different level. Currently, even the fiercest beasts cannot fight against the weakest Sea King."
"So, are Sea King animals?"
"I guess so."
Aishar was a little confused by the question.
Right, why didn't I think of using Sea King before?
However, even without conducting the experiment, Chen Yi knew that it was impossible to create Devil Fruit using Sea King.
The reason is simple: the Devil Fruit afraid of seawater, and even more afraid of the Sea Prism Stone in the seawater.
Sea King are creatures found on the seabed.
Forced manufacturing.
Even if they succeed, will this Devil Fruit power lie on land or in the sea?
Of course, you can also think about it the other way around.
Could this create a Devil Fruit that is not afraid of seawater?
Is this possible?
Chen Yi was unaware of this.
Even if it were possible, the time and effort required would be astronomical.
Chen Yi was just using this as an excuse to get some firewood for free.
There is still a significant shortage of firewood to complete the plan.
Aishar didn't think that much; he saw the whole road ahead in his eyes.
"Genius! Luowen, you're simply a genius!"
Aishar exclaimed excitedly, "I'll give you a credit, 50 Research Points!"
"No! 100 Research Points!"
"A separate laboratory!"
"Be sure to speak up promptly if you have any future plans."
In Aishar's eyes, geniuses should be treated like geniuses.
Chen Yi asked Yu, "What is the Research Points?"
" Research Points are the currency here. Although we can't go out, as long as we have Research Points, we can exchange them for our own needs."
"It can even be exchanged for real Devil Fruit."
Chen Yi became interested.
Is Doflamingo really that rich?
Aishar handed Chen Yi a board as she spoke.
Beautiful women – 10 Research Points /person
100w Beta-5 – 5 Research Points
Good and fast - 10 Research Points /piece (current inventory: 12 pieces)
Great Delight - 100 Research Points /each (Currently in stock: 1)
Superman Devil Fruit - 800 Research Points /each (Currently in Stock: 3)
Animal Devil Fruit- 1000 Research Points /each (Currently 1 in stock)
Natural Devil Fruit- 1500 Research Points /each (Currently 1 in stock)
The opportunity to leave – 100,000 Research Points
Why are animal Devil Fruit more expensive?
Aishar replied casually, "The other animal Devil Fruit been sold; this one is kept as a sample."
This news is no secret among researchers.
Every so often, there will be a target for the Devil Fruit.
Researchers who fail to produce results for an extended period will be disposed of.
Aishar did not tell Chen Yi about this. In Aishar's eyes, Chen Yi was a genius.
It's Devil Fruit; it won't be long before it's created, and it might even revolutionize technology.
" Devil Fruit in this base?"
"I understand, after all, Research Points are hard to come by."
"And even if you exchange for the Natural Devil Fruit, it will be very difficult to escape from here."
Not everyone who comes here can get 100 Research Points as quickly as Chen Yi.
Others' Research Points were obtained only after the artificial Devil Fruit delivered, through manufacturing.
Chen Yi nodded. "I'll exchange it for a Great Delight."
"Sure!"
