Looking at the foundation stone that had become a "vaccine," Hao Ren could not help sighing. "This process sounds so damn reasonable... That's more or less how the immune system works, too."
"Sometimes the universe really does operate like a living organism. Many principles in the world are interconnected," the Data Terminal said leisurely from the side. "The longer your health bar gets after taking hits, the thicker your skin becomes after getting beaten—it's more or less the same idea..."
"That analogy is seriously problematic..." Hao Ren glanced at the Data Terminal. "And what the hell does it mean for the health bar to get longer the more you fight? Is it a bug?!"
"This unit just wanted to force a rhyme... but it didn't even rhyme."
Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth and shifted his attention back to the vaccine. After undergoing inspection, the black obelisk had been packed by engineering machinery into a large storage container. The container would then be transported ahead to the World Tree Temple through Spatial Teleportation, where it would receive proper protection and further study. He asked Lia about the vaccine's next steps. "By the way, how are you planning to use this thing?"
"The specific method will depend on the more detailed analysis report later," Lia said after thinking for a moment. "However, after looking at the preliminary data, I do have an idea. That foundation stone possesses the property of copying information. Perhaps we can use it as an 'information source' and broadcast it across the Lord of Madness's activity zones on a large scale. The vaccine's effects will weaken the Lord of Madness's infectiousness and suppress the rate at which it spreads, and those two factors are precisely where its greatest danger lies. If used properly, we'll be
