With the help of the head maid, Gustavo quickly figured out the layout of the manor.
He didn't go to his bedroom, but went directly to the meditation area, where he stored a large amount of food before closing the door.
After spreading spider webs throughout the room, taking precautions, and using his Spider-Sense to confirm that no one was watching, Gustavo got to work.
He has a lot to do.
But the most crucial step is to integrate the Golden Maple Tree.
He channeled his Divine Power into his spatial ring and retrieved a wooden box containing Golden Maple Tree and a few leaves.
The spider silk shot out, the leaves didn't move, and the entire dark golden branch was wrapped up and swallowed.
Gustavo's exceptional physical control allows every part of his body to function as a hand.
The Golden Maple Tree moved slowly within the body, quickly arriving at the location of the Gene Warehouse.
Energy surged, flesh churned, Gravity Control activated, and the honeycomb-like Gene Warehouse opened a crack, swallowing all the Golden Maple Tree.
"The next step is to use Divine Power and energy to guide the Golden Maple Tree to fuse with flesh and blood, evolving into the main framework of the Gene Warehouse..."
With many thoughts racing through his mind, Gustavo lay prostrate on the ground, calmed himself, and got to work.
Inside, bright red flesh began to writhe, covering the surface of the Golden Maple Tree branches and gradually infiltrating them. Eventually, fine lines resembling blood vessels appeared on the dark golden branches.
The patterns spread out like the roots of a large tree, becoming more and more numerous and complex, forming mysterious and profound bloodline patterns...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, 10 days had gone by.
For the past ten days, Gustavo has been focused on rebuilding the Gene Warehouse.
The process of integrating the Golden Maple Tree is meticulous and allows no room for carelessness. It requires constant spiritual guidance, and only slow and steady work can produce fine results.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong during the process.
When the information panel changes, Gustavo knows he has succeeded.
[Advanced Gene Warehouse] Passive -- It can store, screen, filter, and release gene fragments at low, medium, and high levels, and can perform simple adjustments and fusions of gene fragments within the warehouse.
Note: The maximum number of gene fragments that can be stored in the Advanced Gene Warehouse is 1000 units, and the current storage status is 42/1000.
"He's indeed advanced to the advanced level." Gustavo's eyes lit up.
Advanced Gene Warehouse not only increase the storage capacity of gene fragments by a full 10 times, but also have an additional function.
Gene fragments can be easily adjusted and fused within the Gene Warehouse.
Simply put, it involves using low-level gene fragments to synthesize mid-level and high-level gene fragments, or directly combining them into a complete gene chain.
Of course, current Gene Warehouse cannot yet perform complex gene chain assembly, but with this initial step, the future looks promising.
"Why does the Gene Warehouse feel so much like an ovary..." Gustavo's eyes were strange. He felt that if this talent continued to develop like this, he might be able to "give birth" to puppets.
If you complete the genome assembly in Gene Warehouse, then cultivate flesh and blood tissue and add neural structures, wouldn't that create a living, breathing organism?
"Could I become something like the Zerg Queen in the future? That doesn't seem so bad..."
Gustavo doesn't object to having offspring; although he's a male spider, who says only female spiders can reproduce?
"Cough... I've gotten carried away." Gustavo pulled his wandering Vera back. With his Gene Warehouse upgraded to advanced level, he wouldn't need to improve this talent's level for a long time to come.
"So next, it's time to continue improving the remaining talents... Oh dear, I almost forgot, I've been so focused on seclusion, have you forgotten about our allies?"
Thinking this, Gustavo quickly took out a bag, opened it, and immediately sensed the life force contained in his head.
"Thank goodness, he's still breathing." Gustavo breathed a sigh of relief and began searching his Inherited Memory, trying to find out what resources could quickly restore the Infinite Serpent bloodline.
The answer was that any resource containing vitality would be acceptable.
Gustavo no longer hesitated and summoned a maid, instructing her to tell Marco to prepare some life-giving resources and send them over, as many kinds as possible.
An hour later, Marco entered the manor carrying a large box and handed it to Gustavo.
After seeing Marco off, Gustavo returned to the training ground with the box. He opened the box, and a rich life force surged out. The heads on the ground, which had been half-dead, immediately reacted and began to tremble violently.
Seeing this, Gustavo took out a bottle of medicine, removed the cork, and poured it into the skull's mouth.
The medicine was quickly absorbed, and the head's aura became noticeably stronger, but its appearance remained unchanged.
"Huh?" Gustavo's eyes widened, realizing he was about to suffer a huge financial loss.
"Should I just throw him away?" The thought popped into Gustavo's mind, but he quickly dismissed it, driven by his deep-seated loyalty to his ally.
"Tsk, I'm just too kind after all."
One resource after another was fed into the skull's mouth, and soon the box was empty.
The appearance of the head finally changed, gaining more color and no longer appearing as pale as before.
Gustavo also tested and determined which resource performed best and offered the highest cost-effectiveness.
"Blood Marrow?" Gustavo muttered to himself, then summoned Marco again and ordered him to purchase 2 million Ta Pound of Blood Marrow and send it over.
"Two million?" Marco's eyes widened.
"What? Is there a problem?" the Fairy Puppet asked, glancing sideways.
Marco quickly shook his head, joking, this was his biggest client right now, "No, no, I'll take care of it right away."
Watching Marco leave, Gustavo stared at the severed head on the ground, lost in thought.
How can I squeeze out some freebies?
"By the way, this guy's regenerative abilities are so amazing, if I cut off a piece, it should be, probably, maybe okay?!"
Thinking this, Gustavo's eyes unconsciously darted towards the head.
As if sensing some danger, the head, which was diligently absorbing life force, froze.
