"Stop, stop, stop!" The Yu Lei was stunned.
"Luo Yu, emotionally, the island definitely wants to help you fulfill your Obsession with the ghost pet and provide you with convenience."
"However, you know the current situation on the island, especially with the impending Tidal Corpse Transformation and the Wailing Pirate Crew. In the short term, you'll have to work hard on your own."
Yu Lei took a drag of his cigarette, looked out the window, and explained the current predicament of Mirror Moon Island.
"If you have any good business ideas, the island will provide policy support as much as possible, but money..."
"Right now, we should prioritize crisis response."
Luo Yu nodded. With the war approaching, resource allocation definitely needed to be prioritized, and he understood that.
But what if he says his next project is the arms trade?
Antivirus Master Water Devil Beast: So you're the one called Zombie Tide?
"By the way, Chief, how's that Alliance Investigator doing? Have you told the Guardian about it?" Luo Yu asked.
The director shook his head. "I'm not qualified to see the Guardian Deity. However, I've already reported it to the island lord, who is also a 'divine messenger.' As for the Guardian Deity, it's probably still cultivating, and the island lord shouldn't disturb it. We can only wait until the Guardian Deity awakens during the Mirror Moon Celebration before speaking to it."
"But don't worry, the Great God Mirror Moon is Abyss Level! If any crisis truly arises on the island, it will definitely intervene. Let's focus on doing what we can best do first."
The guardian deities are indeed from the Abyss Species!!!
"Director," Luo Yu reminded him.
"What is it?" Yu Lei was taken aback.
Do you remember what my parents' main research areas were?
Yu Lei certainly remembered. "The evolution path of the Water Devil Beast, what's wrong?"
"Do you remember that I promised to produce a significant research result on Ink Fish within a year?"
Yu Lei fell into deep thought and said, "Isn't this major research finding about the medical Ink Fish?"
"No." Luo Yu shook her head.
"It's the method for Ink Fish to evolve into Water Devil Beast!"
"Actually, my parents have already found a way to evolve the Water Devil Beast, but they've been lacking some luck and key conditions. Currently, I'm still working towards their research direction."
"Recently, I've noticed significant progress. I anticipate that it might not be long, maybe a month or two?"
"In short, I should be able to evolve the Water Devil Beast before the Tidal Corpse Transformation."
After hearing this, Yu Lei opened his mouth slightly, his emotions fluctuating wildly, and his pipe was crushed in his hand.
The next moment.
The unseen emotional energy was absorbed by the Empress.
Luo Yu was slightly taken aback...
However, the bureau chief quickly calmed himself down. "Are you telling the truth?"
Luo Yu smiled wryly, "I can't say for sure, but it's probably true."
"I think if I could have figured out the evolution method for the Water Devil Beast before the Tidal Corpse Transformation, the Monarch Level Water Devil Beast might have become a mainstay of Mirror Moon Island's resistance against the Zombie Tide!"
"So, use the island's resources sparingly. Leave me a budget; if we actually manage to research Water Devil Beast, we'll have to apply for military funding from the island to maintain the Devil Beast legion's daily expenses."
Yu Lei wiped his sweat and said angrily, "You brat, you're trying to make empty promises. I don't believe you! Don't make fun of me."
In the blink of an eye.
"Are you really sure?" Yu Lei murmured.
Luo Yu nodded. "About 70-80%, but it will take time."
"Furthermore, I've developed new experiments and ideas based on my parents' research. Perhaps the evolved Water Devil Beast will be even stronger than we imagined."
Seeing that Luo Yu didn't seem to be lying, Yu Lei frowned. This kid, could he really be telling the truth?
Could it be that the Luo Shui scholars have truly discovered the key to the evolution of the Ink Fish?
How could that be possible? Even scholars from many large cities are powerless to help... But what if it is possible?
"... I understand. The military budget won't be spent immediately; a portion will be reserved," Yu Lei said. "If you can really evolve Water Devil Beast, I'll give you..."
"Give me what?" Luo Yu asked.
"What can a lowly bureau chief like me offer? If you could really evolve Water Devil Beast, no one would object if you wanted to be my bureau chief."
Even the guardian spirit who never pays attention to outsiders, and whom I, the bureau chief, can't be bothered to deal with, has to see you personally and reward you.
"Then you'll have whatever you want."
"After all, a guardian deity is only happy in two situations: when they eat good food, or when the island shows significant development and progress."
"However, right now it's all just empty promises from you, kid. I don't dare believe a word of it. If it weren't for your many research achievements, I would suspect that you're just using empty promises to scam funding." Yu Lei extinguished his cigarette.
"Alright, let's go."
Luo Yu shrugged and left the Beast Management Bureau.
This trip to Thousand Rock Island only took eight days.
Inside the research institute, apart from a few more batches of bee eggs, nothing much had changed.
After mating, those third-generation Breeding Paragon and Dominion have not yet laid eggs; it is estimated that it will take another two or three days.
Upon returning, Luo Yu immediately checked the bee eggs' talents.
Unfortunately, the couples he was most concerned about, such as "Rock Element x Water Enhancement", "More Children, More Blessings x Flower-Picking Bandit", and "Power of the Void x Intelligence", did not produce any results.
The purpose of using Rock Element X Water Enhancement is to mutate into Rock Element Enhancement.
The saying "More Children, More Blessings" is used to Flower-Picking Bandit, and the purpose is to produce even more Flower-Picking Bandit.
The combination of Power of the Void and Intelligence is intended to produce offspring possessing both talents, thereby increasing the chances of Honey Water Bee learning spatial abilities.
Apart from that, mating between other Senior Level- talent Honey Water Bee did not produce any high-quality offspring.
However, after a careful inspection, Luo Yu discovered that the two ordinary Honey Water Bee with which he hadn't paid much attention had actually produced an exceptional offspring!
Of the 800 Honey Water Bee that Luo Yu brought back, some had ordinary Enhancement Talent, while others had other ordinary talents.
For example, the "Intelligence" talent makes them smarter than ordinary individuals. Intelligence is still valuable to mutated beasts, as it relates to the efficiency of learning special abilities.
For example, "Diligence" can make ordinary individuals work harder. This talent can be combined with Enhancement Talent. If an individual with both "enhancement + Diligence" talents is born, capitalists will love such hardworking and capable employees.
However, to Luo Yu's surprise, the combination of Diligence and Enhancement Talent didn't produce anything, nor did the combination of Intelligence and Space Talent. But the combination of Intelligence and Diligence Talent did produce an exceptional one.
[Individual Talent]: Heaven Rewards Diligence (Senior Level talent; hard work will yield results.)
Isn't this sinister?
"Once it hatches, let it mate with the Honey Water Bee with ' Space Talent '."
"Space Talent combined with Heaven Rewards Diligence is far superior to Space Talent combined with Intelligence."
"Learning spatial abilities is an extremely low-probability event, but with effort, one can reap the rewards. In other words, you are guaranteed to learn spatial abilities. Even if you develop some more outrageous spatial abilities, as long as you spend enough effort, you can still achieve some results."
Luo Yu felt that other attributes could be ignored for now, but a spatial attribute familiar would definitely need to be arranged for the Empress in the future... That way, the Empress would also be able to use Power of Space...
"Wait a minute!" Luo Yu suddenly realized something. Didn't the Empress have the ability to enhance the Zerg?
Enhancing abilities doesn't just refer to combat power; learning ability, comprehension ability, and reproductive ability are all abilities!
That should also help Enhancement Talent!
He quickly approached the Honey Water Bee with its Space Talent and said, "Your Empress, let's see if we can uncover its hidden talents."
Buzzing...
The Bee Empress flew out of Luo Yu's eyes, tried it as Luo Yu asked, and gave the Honey Water Bee in front of her the Command to "awaken talent".
The next moment, this Honey Water Bee, whose talents had been developed by the Empress, suddenly seemed to mutate, its size increasing dramatically!
Buzz!!!
Immediately afterwards, its entire body suddenly vanished, as if it had disappeared into another dimension, becoming untouchable!
Spatial Ability, Intangibility, Awakening!
Upon seeing this, Luo Yu's mouth gaped open slightly, utterly shocked. Was this... top-tier talent?
An individual with an extremely low probability of mastering spatial abilities acquired them instantly under its enhancement!
Beside him, the Empress inhaled a breath of Luo Yu's shocked emotion, bringing Luo Yu back to his senses.
"How could you even smoke with me...?"
"Speaking of which..."
When it was in the director's office, it seemed to absorb the director's emotional energy as well.
When he revealed that he could evolve the Water Devil Beast before the Tidal Corpse Transformation, the bureau chief was shocked... incredulous... doubtful... hopeless, his emotions fluctuating wildly.
"Understood." Luo Yu suddenly realized how to quickly cultivate the Bee Empress. As long as he could actually figure out the evolution method for the Water Devil Beast, he would definitely gain a lot of strong emotional fluctuations, and the Empress's level would definitely increase dramatically.
Besides... the Mirror Moon Celebration a stage that absolutely cannot be missed with so many people. It allows July, a seemingly weak Low-Rank Species, to suppress powerful zombies in exchange for emotional fluctuations among the festival audience!
