At last, Liu Zhi walked back to the corpse. He lifted the corpse's hand and forcefully pulled off the nail of its right index finger.
Beneath the fingernail was a chip about the size of an index fingernail.
The chip had been cut from a diamond. It was the last trace left behind by the scientist.

Liu Zhi smiled again. No wonder those eyes had opened on their own. Had they sensed his exceptionally powerful soul?
Thinking this, Liu Zhi probed the information in the chip.
Unlike the liquid that had appeared in the story, only two pieces of information remained here.
The chip was one of the components of a virtual divine core. Though it was only one ten-thousandth of the whole, it was still quite powerful. If placed in a doll or an ordinary player, it would immediately turn that player into a level-five Professional.
That player would also have plenty of potential to grow, and wouldn't be stuck at their current strength just because the chip had boosted them.
That was exactly why the chip hadn't been silverized.
The chip also had a function designed to counter silverized creatures. The scientist had developed this function while fleeing aboard the spaceship. It was a method for reversing the silverization of a creature.
Though it could only be used once, it was still the scientist's final gesture of goodwill.
As for whether it could kill a silverized creature, the scientist himself hadn't intended to do that.
He had only wanted to conduct an experiment—one that could counter silverized creatures. Once it succeeded, the data would be
