It's an Experiment-Explosions Dozens or Hundreds of Times Are Perfectly Normal [Second Update]
Jingliu's sword energy swiftly pierced through the Doomsday Beast Doomsday Beast, and before it could even react, it felt excruciating pain all over its body. The next second, it saw its entire body being split into several pieces.
So, am I dead?
This is what the Doomsday Beast was thinking.
Then,
It died.
It had already suffered severe injuries, with its bodily functions reduced to less than half. Jingliu's strength was only slightly inferior to Jing Yuan, who possessed the power of Divine Arbiter. While Jing Yuan could fight two at once, Jing Liu's slaying of the weakened Doomsday Beast seemed effortless.
Seeing its comrade-in-arms die, the other Doomsday Beast also became enraged. Driven by its anger, its gaze toward Jingliu instantly turned hostile.
However, before it could launch an attack, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its body. This pain rendered it unable to move, leaving it lying on the ground struggling in agony.
Ruan Mei then appeared before it, looking at its painful struggle. Ruan Mei shook her head and said softly, "Any creature I spare from the dissection table, even Emanator, I can find a way to poison. Even the Star God..."
Her eyes held anticipation, as if she had an urge to place the Star God on the dissection table.
At this moment, many creatures appeared around the Doomsday Beast and began to tear it apart. In the blink of an eye, the Doomsday Beast's entire body disappeared.
Looking at Ji Yuan on the Creation Engine, Ruan Mei walked towards him.
Meanwhile, Jingliu quickly approached Ji Yuan and carefully examined his body. He ran his hands over his entire body, paying special attention to his sensitive areas.
"Not bad. You faced two Doomsday Beasts by yourself and severely injured them. You were only exhausted, which proves that you performed quite well."
Jingliu could roughly tell what had happened from the scene, and he was indeed satisfied with Ji Yuan's performance.
Ruan Mei then walked over to Ji Yuan, intending to give him a full body check as well. However, Jingliu stopped her.
"I've already checked him out, and all he needs to do now is rest."
His gaze fell on Nguyen Mai, carrying a hint of provocation.
"As a swordsman, it's inevitable that there will be some oversights. A scientist's test is the most reliable." Ruan Mei didn't respond, but said to Ji Yuan, "I've already set up the research lab. Go there now, and I can conduct a comprehensive examination of your current physical condition. Afterwards, we can also study our experiments and the situation here, as well as the Anti-Matter Legion that has appeared here."
A lot happened tonight, and we definitely need to discuss it.
Hearing Ruan Mei say this, Ji Yuan certainly had no reason to refuse.
Nguyen Mai looked at Jingliu and a smile appeared on her lips.
See? A brute who only knows how to use a sword is the most useless person at a time like this.
Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Ji Yuan quickly said to everyone, "Let's hurry outside. Let's deal with the Creation Engine here tomorrow when I have time."
No one refused.
Ji Yuan had recovered enough to move freely by this time, and the Anti-Matter Legion had been almost completely wiped out, so they began to return along the original route.
The once relatively smooth road was now cluttered with the corpses of various Anti-Matter Legion, creating numerous obstacles that Ji Yuan had to navigate around to get through.
Just as he was winding his way around, the system's voice appeared in his mind.
[You have saved the life of Bronya, the legendary Great Guardian of Jarilo -VI. The system rewards you with War Inspiration.]
[War Inspiration: As long as you stand at the forefront of your army, the belligerency of your troops increases by 300%.]
[You rescued a beautiful and highly skilled swordswoman; the system rewards you with +10 stamina.]
[You have preserved a corpse intact; the system rewards you with +10 Corpse Preservation Experience.]
[Your performance surprised Dr. Ratio scientist who is said to rival the Genius Society. The system rewards you with +10 Mental Strength.]
[Your performance has surprised Aventurine, a senior executive in the Strategic Investment Department of Interastral Peace Corporation and one of the 'Ten Stonehearts,' who is now eager to challenge you. The system is therefore awarding you Luck Blessing Talisman.]
[Luck Blessing Talisman: Within ten minutes, this person's luck value will rise to an extremely high level.]
Good grief, were the people from the Interastral Peace Corporation watching us while we were fighting over here?
Ji Yuan could understand Dr. Ratio's gaze. But besides him, had Aventurine also come here?
"Two out of Ten Stonehearts have emerged from the fields of Topaz, Aventurine, and Stone Core. My teacher and I are truly valued by the company."
Upon hearing this news Ji Yuan couldn't help but think to himself.
The feeling of adventure between life and death is back.
This time, after creating the Emanator and defeating another Lord of Destruction, Topaz, and Aventurine, the harvest is expected to be enormous.
As he was pondering, Jingliu Ji Yuan and asked him, "What's wrong? You seem excited?"
"Just thinking that these Anti-Matter Legion are the forces of the Lord of Destruction Xingxiao, and that we will soon be fighting the Lord of Destruction Nanook values most, fills me with excitement."
"Then you'd better train hard these next few days." Jingliu also revealed a crazy smile.
"I already killed the Lord of Destruction Zephyro last time, so killing Celenova this time would be good too."
With Ji Yuan around, Jingliu already felt that he could become the one wielding the sword in the future. Since he couldn't go and kill the Star God, Jingliu felt that he should at least kill a couple of Emanator to satisfy his urges.
With that, the group left the Creation Engine area.
Not long after leaving the Creation Engine, Ji Yuan saw Topaz leading a large group of company employees over.
Upon seeing Ji Yuan, Topaz breathed a sigh of relief.
She immediately said to Ji Yuan, "That's great, I'm so glad you're alright. We just detected some violent fluctuations here using our monitoring equipment. We were worried about potential problems, so I brought the company staff over right away. Did you encounter any danger here?"
Ji Yuan said easily, "It's a little dangerous, but with me and the two teachers here, the problem here is temporarily solved. However, we have only temporarily wiped out the vanguard of the Anti-Matter Legion, and the threat of the Lord of Destruction Xingxiao is still approaching."
"The Lord of Destruction Xingxiao?"
Upon hearing this name, Topaz couldn't help but frown.
After thinking for a moment, she asked Ji Yuan, "Could the experiments here be moved to another location? The company can arrange a suitable site. Um... and we can also help relocate the population of Belobog to a suitable planet."
"The experiment has already begun, but it's hard to stop it any longer," Ruan Mei said to Topaz after glancing at Ji Yuan.
"Don't worry, we have our own way of dealing with Celenova. I just need you to help us prepare the materials for the experiment. As for dealing with the spoils of the Anti-Matter Legion, that's your job."
"Okay, then."
Hearing Nguyen Mai insist on this, Topaz nodded helplessly.
However, deep down she was still somewhat happy.
Her task was to find out about the experiments in the laboratory, but if everything was going smoothly, it would be difficult to gather information. Now, facing the possible arrival of the Lord of Destruction, Nguyen Mai and Ji Yuan would definitely accelerate their experiments. And if the experiments became chaotic, the possibility of Topaz trying to take advantage of the situation would increase.
"They can even pin everything on the Anti-Matter Legion."
If the company and the Genius Society are mutually exploitative, then they are completely hostile to the Anti-Matter Legion.
Nguyen Mai had previously been indifferent to the Anti-Matter Legion, but if the experimental results were destroyed by the Anti-Matter Legion, she would certainly be able to inflict heavy damage on the Anti-Matter Legion in the same way.
If one, no, two life scientists want to harm someone, the scope of the damage would be extremely terrifying.
Chapter 171 It's an experiment; dozens or even hundreds of explosions are normal. [Second Update]
Topaz escorted Ji Yuan for a while, and only said goodbye when they were almost at the laboratory.
She actually wanted to go with Ji Yuan and the others, but Ruan Mei clearly refused, and Topaz had no choice but to leave disappointed.
"Miss Topaz, could you please take Sushang and the others back to Belobog on your way?"
Before Topaz left, Ji Yuan spoke to her.
Firefly and Sushang should go back and rest early, so let's have Topaz take them back along the way.
"OK."
Topaz naturally wouldn't refuse.
Bronya was still a little uneasy, and she looked at Ji Yuan with a questioning look in her eyes.
Ji Yuan looked into her eyes and knew what she was thinking. He assured Bronya again, "Don't worry, I will protect Belobog."
"Um."
Bronya looked at Ji Yuan's expression and nodded seriously.
Afterwards, everyone left. Now, only Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei remained in the laboratory...
And Jingliu, who was drinking tap water from a beaker.
"Aren't you afraid there might be something in that beaker?" Ruan Mei was quite displeased with Jingliu's casual actions. Of course, this was mainly because she was very unhappy with Jingliu's unbridled touching of Ji Yuan earlier.
"It's alright. Although I don't understand those scientific experiments, I'm quite accurate in judging danger. At least there won't be any problems with the beaker in my hand." After finishing his water, Jingliu pointed to the pastries that Ruan Mei had placed on the lab table. "For example, I wouldn't dare to eat the pastries that are next to you."
Nguyen Mai was quite troubled by this kind of guy who didn't have much intelligence but was exceptionally perceptive.
"Since I am facing the Lord of Destruction, I naturally need to know how to wield my sword."
Jingliu then walked over to Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei and said something.
Seeing that Jingliu wasn't going to leave, Ruan Mei didn't want to waste any more time. She first ran her fingers over Ji Yuan's body, checking him over as well. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Aside from feeling a bit weak, I'm fine, and even better than before."
"I've already said that there's nothing wrong with his health."
Jingliu found a chair, sat down, and then spoke to Ruan Mei.
"You only need to keep Ji Yuan in combat condition, while I need to keep my student in top physical condition."
Seeing that his two teachers were about to start arguing again, Ji Yuan quickly passed on the knowledge about star cores he had obtained from the Stellaron Hunter that day to Ruan Mei. After passing it on, he also recounted the events of the day in detail.
When she heard that Sparkle's attempt to seduce Ji Yuan had failed, Nguyen Mai gave a satisfied smile.
"Yes, you did the right thing. It really wasn't necessary. Although Sparkle is the Masked Fool, her body is just that of an ordinary human, and having offspring with her would be of no value."
"Let's not talk about that now." Ji Yuan quickly changed the subject. "In short, the enemies we are facing now include at least Celenova and Interastral Peace Corporation. We cannot allow the Anti-Matter Legion to sabotage this experiment, nor can we allow the company to obtain the technology."
The technology for creating Emanator is incredibly advanced. If the corporations knew about this technology, they would undoubtedly create even more Emanator. The appearance of any single Emanator would alter the balance of power in the universe. If the corporations had more of these Commanders, they would certainly exert even greater pressure on the entire universe.
The war that will erupt then will be even more powerful than the Imperial War of yesteryear, and probably only slightly smaller than the Swarm Disaster that caused the fall of the Star God.
Upon hearing his words, Nguyen Mai shook her head.
"No, we only have one enemy to face."
"One?"
Ji Yuan was taken aback when he heard Ruan Mei's words.
"Yes, all we have to face is this research," Ruan Mei said to Ji Yuan. "If we successfully create the Emanator, our problems will naturally be solved. And before the experiment is completely successful or completely failed, the Interastral Peace Corporation will naturally fight against the Anti-Matter Legion for us. Even now, the company's fleet may be fighting the Anti-Matter Legion in outer space."
"Um."
Ji Yuan nodded.
Stopping thinking about it, Ji Yuan turned his attention to the information provided by the Stellaron Hunter.
Elio seemed to know what Ji Yuan and Ruan Mei wanted, so instead of writing about what kind of power those star cores would unleash, he directly wrote about their attempts to utilize the power of the star cores.
Although a lot of energy emanates from the vicinity of a star core, its interior remains incredibly stable. The Stellaron Hunter have made numerous attempts to trigger the power of the star cores they have captured, including launching various attacks with blades at the star cores.
Although Blade was severely injured each time by the power generated by the star core, it only damaged the outer layer of the star core, allowing the power of the outer layer to be exerted. Later, it seemed that Blade's attacks were insufficient, so Kafka and Silver Wolf directly had Blade carry the star core to jump onto the star.
It still didn't work out.
Seeing this experiment, Ji Yuan couldn't help but feel sympathy for Ren.
Being immortal is really not a good thing.
Ruan Mei looked at these people with shining eyes, then at herself, then at Ji Yuan, and shook her head.
While immortality makes experiments much safer, it also affects judgment in many areas.
That would be a losing proposition.
Ji Yuan continued to observe the various experiments, but the Stellaron Hunter still couldn't fully unleash the power of the Star Core. At the end of the series of experiments, Silver Wolf spoke.
"The interior of the star core is incredibly stable; even ordinary Emanator cannot unleash its power. The only experiment we are currently attempting is to place it inside Xing's body to see if she can unleash its full potential."
Ji Yuan's heart stirred.
Yeah, we've almost forgotten about Xing.
I haven't had a chance to spend time with Xing and March 7th lately. Especially Xing, she doesn't quite know how to use the power of the Star Core yet, but what about Xing a hundred years from now?
As the protagonist, her strength is naturally immense.
I might be able to get a lot of help from her.
With this in mind, Ji Yuan continued to observe the information provided by the Stellaron Hunter.
