Chapter 273 New Ways to Pull Skills
There are many secret realms in this world, but not all secret realms will be officially opened in the final stage.
In addition to those secret realms with important mineral deposits, those extremely dangerous secret realms will not be opened because they are too dangerous.
For example, the ancient city of the fairyland mentioned by Xu Dalong.
As one of the core cities of the fairyland back then, this ancient city of the fairyland does not belong to any sect, but a place for all immortals to trade and communicate.
Considering the importance of this city, many sects often send powerful elders to sit here.
In this secret realm, the beastmasters and the immortals fought a protracted war.
The battle between the immortals and the beasts made the secret realm where the ancient city of the fairyland was located shrouded in a disordered space-time turbulence, making it the most dangerous existence among all known secret realms.
Zhou Lu heard Xu Dalong's invitation, and ecstasy flashed in his eyes.
He accepted the mission invitation of the pioneer army and came here. In fact, he also had the idea of making friends with the senior leaders of the pioneer army and entering those unopened immortal sect secret realms to explore.
If Hua Huo really wants to evolve to the True God stage in a short period of time, the demand for growth is huge.
Although his current progress has far exceeded the expectations of Qiu Dao Mu, Zhou Lu always feels that there can be no carry-over in this regard.
If the Mengyu Flower Fairy really comes out of the seal, as its compatriot, Hua Huo will definitely become its first target for devouring.
After all, it has not seen other Nine-Life Immortal Grasses for thousands of years.
Zhou Lu thought so, and after confirming that most of the branches can survive in this desert, he said goodbye to Xu Dalong and left the secret realm.
When Xu Dalong completes the handover work here, he can follow Xu Dalong to the ancient city of the fairyland.
When Zhou Lu came out of the secret realm, the matter about the Rui'an Royal Tomb had been widely spread in the real world.
Millions of years ago, the human ancestors, millions of years ago, the quasi-gods.
Although there is no difference in strength between modern spirit beasts and ancient spirit beasts, it is just a choice to adapt to the environment, but people always subconsciously think that ancient spirit beasts will be more powerful.
As a result, Zhou Lu and Hua Huo also became popular with the popularity of Wang Ling.
"This guy is definitely a congenital sand control saint."
This is what many people say about Hua Huo.
Defeating the quasi-god who controls the sandstorm by destroying the desert is really unheard of.
And as netizens dig deeper, Zhou Lu's resume is also dug out.
This year is a junior.
He has just become a beastmaster for only one year, and now he is a fourth-level beastmaster and has passed the A-level exploration certificate.
His initial spirit pet has also evolved to a fourth-level quasi-god.
"Fuck?! Which novel did this peerless genius come from?"
"To be honest, this can no longer be described as a genius, right? Monster! It's simply a monster!"
"It seems that the disaster investigator who broke the fog of Xinzhou for decades was him?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's him! I've seen reports that he has defeated several immortals!"
As the investigation report on the Xinzhou disaster incident was released, the secrets of the Yan Gui organization and modern immortals were also made public.
The authorities also knew that they could not hide it at this time and had to make it public.
The beastmasters destroyed the immortals and became the masters of this world. How could they be afraid of immortals?
If they chose to conceal it at this time, people would think it was a manifestation of guilty conscience and cowardice, which would directly endanger the legitimacy of official rule.
In fact, at the beginning of the beastmaster era, detailed popular science about immortals was indispensable in popular education, and the description of the skills of the immortal race was also very detailed.
This was also to make ordinary people afraid of these extraordinary people who were called immortals.
However, as the beastmasters who defeated the immortals head-on died one after another, their successors, facing this real history, could not imagine the possibility of defeating the immortals.
Therefore, the popularization of the powerful and cold-blooded immortals was gradually replaced by other content.
As Zhou Lu became famous, he suddenly became the object of competition between Xinyue College and Xin'an College.
Zhou Lu just came back and met the principal of Xinyue College.
He hoped that Zhou Lu would simply transfer his student status to Xin Yue College and become a real Xin Yue student. For this, the college could give Zhou Lu a considerable scholarship.
There was indeed someone who wanted this scholarship, and the optional materials were also what Zhou Lu needed. As long as he accepted this reward, he could get some difficult materials needed for the evolution of the Fireworks Divine Beast through the relationship of Xin Yue College.
But Zhou Lu still refused.
Principal Wu's kindness was there, and Zhou Lu would not do such a thing.
However, Xin Yue College was indeed sincere enough.
Even if Zhou Lu refused, the college still fulfilled the promised scholarship.
Such a genius has unlimited possibilities in the future, and Xin Yue College will naturally not miss the opportunity to make friends.
As long as he accepted the gift, it would be great to invite him to be an honorary professor in the future.
This time Zhou Lu did not refuse, mainly because the reward was too fragrant.
"Oh~! Our celebrity is back." When Zhou Lu returned home, Wu Xiaoqing was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking coffee.
When Zhou Lu saw Sister Xiaoqing, he smiled and said, "It's rare that you are not in the lab today."
When mentioning this, Wu Xiaoqing suddenly showed a meaningful expression.
Seeing the senior sister's expression, Zhou Lu's heart moved and he turned to look at the laboratory aside.
There is nothing like a laboratory here.
All the equipment and utensils were covered with mold.
No, it’s not just mold.
An old smell came from the laboratory.
Zhou Lu felt that the room in front of him seemed as if no one had been there for decades.
All the equipment, including tables and chairs, have aged due to the passage of time.
"What is this?" Zhou Lu immediately noticed something strange in the laboratory.
Wu Xiaoqing spread her hands: "As you can see, there was an accident in the laboratory."
"So, does this mold have any strange functions this time?"
"It's not strange, right? It accelerates aging." Wu Xiaoqing said thoughtfully, "To be precise, it is depriving life of life."
When he heard Wu Xiaoqing's words, Zhou Lu almost jumped up: "Damn it! How can you drink coffee here so peacefully after such an accident?!"
"Now that the matter is over, it's natural to take a rest first." Wu Xiaoqing blinked her eyes and was about to drink the coffee in her hand when she saw Zhou Lu looking like he was about to explode, so she raised her hand and patted Zhou Lu on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, this kind of mold currently only has an effect on non-living things, that is, it causes materials such as plastics to age in advance, causing equipment to quickly reach the upper limit of its service life." Zhou Lu immediately caught the words in the senior sister's words. :"at present?"
"Hey, I have transformed these molds into types that can infect living things."
"You don't want to do such a dangerous thing!" Zhou Lu grabbed Wu Xiaoqing's shoulders, "You will destroy the world!"
Wu Xiaoqing scratched her cheek: "It didn't work out...and it was originally designed for fireworks."
"How can Hanabi be involved?"
"Think about it, if Hanabi acquires such a skill, wouldn't she be able to deprive other people of their lifespan in the future?" Wu Xiaoqing was very excited when she talked about this, "It's very powerful when you think about it."
Zhou Lu was suddenly speechless.
He always felt that if Hanabi really became some kind of demon king who destroyed the world in the future, this unreliable off-line senior in front of him would definitely be the first to do so.
But Wu Xiaoqing is indeed right about one thing.
Many of the experimental products in her hands possess some strange racial skills.
This is also inevitable.
In order to obtain new results, inducing fungi to undergo specific evolution is the most efficient and fastest method.
Some skills may not count for mushrooms and molds, because these fungi are limited in size and cannot display the terrifying power of racial skills.
But if such a skill is grafted onto Hanabi, then combined with Hanabi's attributes and branches, unimaginable sparks will definitely burst out.
Zhou Lu had always focused on various secret realms, but he completely forgot that there was such a large treasure house beside him.
It’s not just Wu Xiaoqing.
Because of the existence of special evolutionary mechanisms, experimental organisms with new traits are born in human laboratories almost every day.
Most of their awakened racial skills are useless.
However, there are only racial skills that are misplaced on creatures in this world, and there are no racial skills that are completely useless.
This has been fully proven by Hanabi.
Even if Hanabi doesn't need these skills later, they can still be stored as [Fooling] and [Limited Source] bullets.
The more Zhou Lu thought about it, the more it made sense.
Instead of spending a lot of time looking for new species, it would be better to first vigorously apply the achievements of human modern scientific and technological civilization.
Anyway, with the existence of [Easter Egg of Doom], Hanabi can fully absorb skills in a short period of time.
"I said...why are you looking at me like this..."
After figuring this out, Zhou Lu looked at Wu Xiaoqing with eyes full of longing.
After explaining the ins and outs to Wu Xiaoqing, the senior sister readily agreed.
Hua Huo left a branch of equal proportions directly next to Wu Xiaoqing.
In the future, this branch will become Wu Xiaoqing's experimental assistant. While absorbing Wu Xiaoqing's racial skills that have been achieved, she will also keep an eye on Wu Xiaoqing to prevent her from playing tricks again.
Fortunately, the mold this time did not have the characteristics of infecting organisms, otherwise this laboratory accident might have become the starting point of the destruction of the world.
The ability to directly deprive the parasitic object of its lifespan is too buggy.
Zhou Lu was naturally not satisfied with this.
He called Manman out and explained his idea to her.
Since Qiudaomu hopes that Zhou Lu can train Hanabi into a mechanical monster to fight against the numerical monster that will break through the seal in the future, it is more advantageous for Hanabi to have more racial skills.
Manman immediately conveyed Zhou Lu's thoughts to Qiudao Mu.
Soon, Qiudaomu sent his opinion.
It agreed that Zhou Lu could obtain more racial skills in this way.
With Qiudao Mu's instructions, Manman directly gave Zhou Lu a list of scientific research institutions with the most new beast-controlling patents.
"The question now is, how to contact these scientific research institutions?" Zhou Lu was just thinking when he heard Manman say from the side.
No...it should be Qiudaomu.
"You don't have to think so complicated." Qiu Daomu looked at the laboratory with an old atmosphere, and looked at Wu Xiaoqing speechlessly halfway through his words, "What outrageous thing have you done again?"
Well, has the senior sister's actions reached Qiu Daomu's ears?
Wu Xiaoqing coughed twice and repeated what happened just now.
Qiu Daomu fell into a long period of thinking.
Then it looked at Zhou Lu and said, "I think your matter is a small problem. The most important thing now should be to discuss burying her. This guy is too dangerous."
Although he knew that Qiu Daomu was joking, Zhou Lu still spoke a few words for the senior sister and promised that such an accident would not happen again.
"I left a branch of Huahuo here, and I will definitely take good care of the senior sister." Zhou Lu said seriously.
Qiu Daomu smiled and spread his hands and said, "Look, don't you have the method you want?"
Zhou Lu was also slightly stunned when he heard Qiu Daomu's words: "What?"
"Aren't you thinking about how to contact these scientific research institutions and their products?" Qiu Daomu looked at Zhou Lu and said with a smile, "You can ask Hua Huo to make enough similar branches. I will package them into general fairies with incomplete functions and give them to these scientific research institutions as gifts for the New Year to reward their contributions to civilization."
Qiu Daomu's words immediately made Zhou Lu's eyes light up.
Any scientific research institution has a very large demand for general fairies. It's a pity that now, except for Manman next to Zhou Lu, almost all general fairies are in major beast control academies.
If Qiu Daomu can withdraw a batch of new general fairies, even if their functions are a little incomplete, as long as they can be distributed to these scientific research institutions, they will definitely welcome it.
As long as they enter these scientific research institutions, Hua Huo's branches will have plenty of ways to get the skills of various research spirit beasts inside.
"Woo...my branches..."
With a clear plan, start to implement it immediately.
Qiudaomu took away a large number of Huahuo's ramets, and then left Manman's body and returned to the Invalides.
Although the number of ramets that a quasi-god can control is not small, Huahuo is still a little uncomfortable with losing so many ramets at once.
As for controlling the ramets in so many scientific research institutions at the same time, it is a relatively easy thing for Huahuo. After all, it has to deal with the information transmitted by the ramets in various worlds every day. Multitasking has long been the most basic skill.
Even, as long as Huahuo is willing, Manman can use some techniques to solidify this multitasking skill into a spirit beast skill card.
In the next few days, Zhou Lu rarely entered a state of rest.
Mainly because Huahuo needs to assist Qiudaomu in special training, and cultivate these ramets brought back by Qiudaomu into existence similar to general fairies.
In this way, it can better distribute these ramets to various scientific research institutions.
