Chapter 351: Induced Mutation

To be honest, I really don't care about helping the other party with their research. What I really care about is the mutated potion. According to what the other party said, this kind of thing can mutate ordinary creatures and turn them into something similar to Warcraft.

Don't underestimate the effect of this mutated potion. Many people may say that if you need a Warcraft, you can just go to the forest to catch it. Why go to the trouble of turning ordinary animals into Warcraft and then domesticating them?

Yes, on the surface, using potions to induce mutations is purely unnecessary. It not only wastes the cost of making potions, but also has a probability of failure. The most important thing is that there are all kinds of Warcraft in the wild. You just need to catch them. There is no need to treat ordinary monsters. Animals undergo transformation.

However, if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not like that. There are indeed many types of Warcraft in the wild, but Warcraft is a Warcraft after all, and it has a very strong combat power. It may not be difficult to kill a Warcraft, but it is very difficult to capture it alive. From this point alone, it can be seen that Warcraft is actually not that easy to catch.

The second point is that even if a method is invented to capture Warcraft easily and quickly, mutation potions still have huge advantages. Why do you say that? Because of the number of monsters.

As a creature with strong combat power, Warcraft must be at the top of the food chain, and the more powerful the Warcraft is, the higher its level must be. As a high-end existence, these high-level monsters cannot appear in nests like mice or rabbits. Sometimes it is very common to see three or five in a leveling area, or even only a dozen in a country. . Therefore, it is almost impossible for advanced Warcraft to be mass-produced. However, it is different if inducers are used. Although the inducer has a failure rate, the failure rate is very low, which means that it can be used in large quantities, and it serves as the basis for mutation of ordinary creatures. In the game, ordinary creatures can be cultivated using the skills of auxiliary players. This means that if a creature is found that can be safely compiled and used, it can be cultivated in large numbers. Then you can get a powerful combat monster in batches. This is simply a hugely profitable deal. How could I not pay attention to such a good thing?

"Do you agree?" The young man who claimed to be the ninth prince of the Kaman Kingdom immediately confirmed excitedly after hearing my words.

I nodded again to confirm what I meant, and then said: "I really have something to do tomorrow, so if you really need me to help you, you'd better hurry up."

"Then let's leave now. Anyway, the monster is dead, and our mission is considered completed."

Under the order of the Ninth Prince, the other knights over there quickly climbed onto their mounts, and even the body of the knight who died over there was also brought onto the mount.

Slightly different than what I imagined. The furbolgs under these guys look very bulky, but in fact, these guys are not only very fast when running. It is also flexible in turning, and most importantly, its endurance is very good. With Ye Ying's speed, he could trot forward without leaving those guys behind. You must know that when I acted with others in the past, no matter how their mounts ran, Ye Ying could only walk forward like a stroll at most. The situation that really required him to take steps and run was not just me, that is, there was only Klee beside me. Players such as Stina or Gold Coin have high-level magic pets themselves, and most players' mounts are actually completely incomparable with Yeying.

Although the speed of those guys surprised me a little, compared to the surprise they brought to me, what I brought to them was the fright of Chi Guoguo. Even though they kept speeding up to get ahead of us. But it turned out to be completely impossible. No matter how they speed up, Yeying always trots forward at a fixed pace. It looks very leisurely, but in fact the speed is amazingly fast.

Thanks to the fast speed of everyone's mounts, we quickly passed through a large forest and saw a small village. When the Ninth Prince saw the village over there, he immediately began to introduce it: "That is my alchemy laboratory. It is a laboratory I built with my own money. The people living nearby are all my people. They Responsible for providing food and other services to people in the laboratory.”

I can understand the Ninth Prince's words relatively easily. Because Longyuan Group itself has similar units. However, what Longyuan Group owns is not such a small town, but an entire city. It was a second-tier city in the country. It was not very large, but its economy was very developed. The headquarters and first production plant of Longyuan Heavy Industry, a subsidiary of Longyuan Group, as well as Longyuan Precision Electronic Manufacturing Company and its factories, both affiliated to Longyuan Group, are all located in this city. There is also a large-scale factory affiliated to Longyuan Group in the suburbs near the city. steel mill. The employees of these companies plus their families account for more than 70% of the city's population. Almost all the remaining people provide some peripheral services around these employees of Longyuan Group. Therefore, that city is actually equivalent to a city of Longyuan Group. Even administrative and security work basically require the assistance of Longyuan Group. After all, more than 80% of the entire city's industries are owned by the group. No matter who wants to do something here, Longyuan Group will definitely not do it without nodding.

The village built around the Ninth Prince's laboratory is probably the same as the city of Longyuan Group. It's entirely for laboratory services. The benefits of such a row are obvious. The specialized development direction of the village determines that the composition of the German personnel here will be very single, which is really the best thing for security work. Moreover, the alchemy laboratory is actually much more dangerous than the fireworks factory. It is not an exaggeration to say that it explodes every three days. Although most explosions are not very powerful, super explosions do occur from time to time. Of course, such dangerous buildings cannot be placed in densely populated big cities, and such places can only be chosen to build specialized settlements. After all, as an independent gathering place, the houses in the area can be specially designed in advance to deal with various possible dangers. On the contrary, in a big city that has existed for many years, the surrounding residential houses must be dealt with accordingly. That cost is definitely much more than rebuilding a city.

As the Ninth Prince explained, we gradually approached the village. A strange-looking city wall can be seen on the outskirts of the village. The top of this city wall is no different from an ordinary city wall, but its wall is made of circular columns one by one, and the span between the two columns is basically more than three meters, with a double-layer steel fence in the middle. Isolation to achieve a closed effect, but the gaps in these fences are actually quite large, although adults cannot get through. Children can come and go freely.

Of course I had to pay more attention to this strange city wall that looked like a zoo fence, and the Ninth Prince probably knew that I would be curious about this city wall, so he took the initiative to explain: "This city wall was specially designed by us. You may also know , Alchemy laboratories often encounter dangers. The city wall composed of this kind of metal fence will not completely close the city. When an explosion occurs in a large laboratory, the shock wave can be vented out from the fence. In this way, it will not It would tear down the wall. We had built ordinary walls before, but they had to be rebuilt every few months. So in the end we invented this kind of wall."

I looked at the strange city wall and said with a smile, "You guys really have a solution."

"I was forced to do this!" the Ninth Prince said with some embarrassment. Then he suddenly pointed to a building at the end of the road ahead and said, "That's our laboratory."

"So small?" I looked at the laboratory at the end of the road in surprise. The laboratory located in the center of the village seemed to be the size of an ordinary movie theater and was only a little over two stories tall. There were at least seven or eight buildings in the village taller than this.

The Ninth Prince next to me did not show any dissatisfaction after hearing my exclamation, but explained: "This is just the entrance, the main body of the laboratory is under the ground, and the pressure will help us increase the explosion resistance of the laboratory. "

"But don't you know that explosions in sealed environments are actually the most powerful ones?"

"Of course we know this, so the laboratory has a special pressure relief channel. Under normal circumstances, it will not endanger the safety of the building, but it is really powerful enough to destroy the laboratory. So whether this kind of explosion is placed on the ground or underground, in fact all the same."

I thought about it and admitted that the other party's point of view was reasonable, but soon I discovered that there was a large open space not far from the laboratory in the center of the village. Although there is not much rubble in the open space, the remaining traces on the ground clearly indicate that there should have been buildings in this place.

The Ninth Prince saw me looking at the open space over there and explained: "That experimental creature ran out from here. The building debris on the ground has been cleaned up and the ground has been refilled, but the buildings above have not yet It’s time to make up for it.”

I nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look inside your laboratory first."

"OK."

Under the personal leadership of the Ninth Prince, the guards in the laboratory did not intercept us. He didn't even ask. In fact, the security work in this laboratory was very simple. Except for two teams of about twenty knights at the entrance to this underground laboratory, I didn't see a single guard inside the laboratory, and there were no checkpoints or anything like that. The entire underground laboratory was completely empty. Undefended.

To be honest, I originally thought that the place where the mutated potion could be researched would be the same place as our guild's New World Experiment Center. Not to mention one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps, at least two or three guards should be arranged at each intersection, right? Besides, I didn’t see any armed forces in this existence except for a few patrols at the entrance of the village. Even if someone was discovered, the military strength here probably wouldn’t be able to stop the opponent’s forcible attack!

Although I was very confused as to why there were so few guards in this place, I didn't bother to ask about such things. Anyway, I wasn't here to help them with security inspections.

After a few twists and turns in the tunnel, we entered a relatively large experimental space. This place looked semi-natural. Because one side of the wall is not flat, just naturally formed rocks, while the other side has traces of artificial excavation.

In this huge place that was as big as an indoor sports ground, dozens of pharmacists gathered around a cage and were arguing about something, until the Ninth Prince angrily rushed forward and pushed these people away. They stopped after driving.

The Ninth Prince was obviously very angry about this scene. He finally asked me to help, but what he saw when he came over was a group of his men fighting with a stick. This obviously made him very embarrassed. Fortunately, I didn't care about this. He didn't say anything, otherwise he really wouldn't know where to put his face.

After my persuasion, the Ninth Prince settled the matter and did not hold these researchers accountable, but he still asked them about the reason for the fight. The reason is actually very simple. The researchers here have made adjustments to the induction drug. Then some of them wanted to find another prototype of the monster I just killed for testing, while others insisted that it was too risky and hoped to wait until the prince came back before he decided whether he needed to experiment again.

Originally, even if the Ninth Prince himself came back, it would definitely not be easy for him to decide on this matter, but it is no longer a problem now. Now that I, a powerful helper, am here, it is natural to continue the experiment, so the pharmacists immediately excitedly went to capture the experimental subjects after learning that I could easily kill those mutated creatures.

The new experimental body has been prepared for a long time. It was just because the two sides were arguing that they didn't start taking the medicine. After getting the agreement, they immediately cleared the place and moved the creature to the center of the test site. Then he force-fed a large jar of that unknown induction potion into it.

This so-called induction agent looks like a transparent grease-like substance, which is very fluid and does not seem to have much adhesion. After forcibly drinking the bottle of potion, the knights in charge immediately turned around and ran. In the blink of an eye, they rushed to a small door on the nearest wall and got in. There was someone waiting at the door, and he closed the door as soon as the knight entered.

Although they ran very fast, the monster in the center of the field actually had no intention of pursuing them. The monster didn't show any change after being fed the potion. It just shook its head twice to express its dissatisfaction because of the taste of the potion. For this creature that looks a bit like a crocodile and a bit like a lizard, this place is very huge, so after looking around, it randomly chose a direction and started wandering there. It first crawled to the small door where the knight who gave it the medicine left and smelled it. Then he started crawling around the wall again, without any intention of mutating.

The group of pharmacists who were standing with us at the observation port at the top of the cave began to discuss anxiously when they saw the result. Some said that too much stabilizer was added, and some said that there was something wrong with the proportion of grass. Anyway, it was all their professional terminology, and I didn’t understand it at all. When it comes to things like magic circles or magic machines, I have at least heard some theoretical knowledge and professional terminology from Woma and Noreen. I'm not good at research or anything like that. It's quite bluffing to brag to others, but I'm really blind to the branch of magic potion. This technology is not particularly developed in our guild. As the president, I don’t specialize in research in this area, so naturally I can’t do it.

There was a lot of quarrel here. But I didn't understand, so I simply walked to a door next to the observation window, turned on the handle, and walked out.

This observation room is located at the top of one side of the wall of the huge experimental area, at least forty meters above the ground below. The windows of the observation room use metal fences and magic barriers instead of glass. After all, the creatures in the game are too destructive, and players can only bake ordinary glass and cannot make bulletproof glass, so this kind of isolation wall is generally used. Most of them use magic barriers. As for the crystal wall... except for our guild, there are really not many people who can afford to use it. Besides, the crystal itself is actually not that strong. Even if you have money to buy crystal, you still need the ability to make a special magic circle. The reason why the crystal wall is stronger than a pure magic defense barrier is because the crystal itself is a magic material, so a magic circle can be drawn on it to make it a defensive barrier dozens, hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than a pure magic barrier. Of course, it's okay to use this technology to make an observation window, but don't count on the defense of the city wall. The price will definitely scare anyone to the point of collapse.

"You can't open the door, it's very dangerous." Before I could turn the handle, I heard the Ninth Prince from behind shouting. Although there is a spiral staircase with a metal frame structure outside this door, the danger is not the height, but the monster below. Although that thing has not changed yet, who knows what it will become.

In response to the Ninth Prince's words, I just raised my hand and shook it to indicate not to worry, then opened the isolation door and walked out. After leaving the gate, I stepped on the handrail of the spiral staircase and jumped out. I spread my wings and landed smoothly, and then looked at the monster over there.

The reptile on the opposite side noticed me after I landed on the ground, but this thing has not mutated yet, so it behaves like the prince introduced it before, timid by nature. After seeing me appear, it didn't rush over, but faced me and retreated backwards to a corner away from me.

When I saw that thing's reaction, I frowned, then spread my wings and flew over there. When the thing saw me flying over, it immediately pushed its upper body off the ground, and at the same time opened its mouth and let out a silent roar at me. The warning was very obvious.

Even though this guy made fighting moves, I wasn't worried at all. This thing is not very big to begin with. It is only a little over two meters long including the head and tail, and the main length is taken up by the tail. In fact, it is not very big. Besides, although the teeth in this creature's mouth are sharp, they are only about one centimeter long. Teeth of this length are considered beast-level in reality, but in the game, creatures with such teeth can only be regarded as being at the bottom of the food chain, and there is really no deterrent at all.

During the thing's intimidating action, I landed directly in front of it, then pushed away the opponent's head that was actively attacking, then pinched its neck with my backhand and lifted me up. After the monster was lifted up, it swung its big tail behind it and beat my body. But where is its level? How lethal can a single tail be? For me, this kind of attack doesn't even itch. It can't cause any other damage except forcibly deducting a little blood each time. It can't even catch up with my own blood recovery speed.

The monster I was holding was struggling like this, but no matter how hard it tried, it had no effect. I lifted it to the center of the field, then raised my head and shouted at the observation port above: "Your potion is Isn't there something wrong? This is obviously an ordinary creature!"

"Maybe it's not time yet!" Because I had already pinched the monster, the researchers and the Ninth Prince all walked out of the observation room and crowded on the spiral staircase outside. Some impatient pharmacists had even started to go down the stairs. Ran. They probably wanted to come over to see the situation, but just when these people were halfway through, the monster in my hand suddenly jumped up so hard that I couldn't even hold its body, and it suddenly fell out of my hand. The hand jumped out. The power just now was obviously different from the previous reaction. This was not the power that the monster should have.

Seeing the monster let go, the researchers over there immediately braked and stopped at their respective positions, but the next second they started to turn around and run back desperately, because the monster lying on the ground was running crazy on the ground. It was twisting and struggling, and as it was twisting and struggling, its body was rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, just like an inflated balloon.

"Damn it, hurry up, go back!" Because the spiral staircase coming down from the observation room is very narrow, and at most two people can walk parallel to each other at a time. It is simply impossible for dozens of people over there to crowded on the spiral staircase to return to the observation room in a short time. matter. But I didn't pay attention to them, but carefully backed away while watching the monster in front of me continue to grow.

The monster twisted and struggled for a short time, only seven or eight seconds. This thing had already increased to the size of an elephant, and was still growing, but at a slightly slower pace. After about twenty seconds, the creature in front of me finally stopped growing, but at this time its size had surpassed the monster that Mira had blasted into rotten flesh, reaching a length of more than one hundred meters. And the appearance has also undergone huge changes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
