"Give two months, and I could co up with a breakthrough," Ahn Ke said to Ahn Qi, "but we don’t have two months left. That kind of blood can’t last that long, I’ve tried many thods to preserve it, all in vain."
"Even when used in modifications, we only get so energy crystals."
"What about the research findings with the Red Star Rock?"
Ahn Ke shook his head, "The experintal subjects won’t live long enough, and the blood they secrete will also crystallize. It can’t be reused unless the lifeform level of the subject is high enough..."
Ahn Qi furrowed her brows slightly, thinking of the fire dragon she had on her side. She asked, "The fire dragon won’t work?"
"Of course not. I’ve done experints. The blood of a fire dragon will inevitably crystallize as well. Perhaps the deities in its world could work. Do you have a way to obtain the Blood of God?"
"If there were a way to get that kind of thing, would we still be researching these?" Ahn Qi retorted sowhat speechlessly, dismissing the idea of Blood of God, "We know nothing about it."
"That may not be true..."
"?" Ahn Qi looked at Ahn Ke in surprise. How could she be unaware of such a thing? The hunters group of the Ahn family was the most likely to obtain the Blood of God, having encountered the most anomalies. Many of Ahn Ke’s research materials were provided by the hunters group and local forces.
She also hadn’t received any news from Ahn Longling.
"What did you do?"
"Rember the last ti regarding the blood sample of that experintal subject? The blood sample you brought back was tainted with other blood. I discovered sothing interesting in it."
Ahn Ke appeared indifferent, but Ahn Qi’s expression turned sowhat uneasy. With just a few words, Ahn Ke had dragged her into a matter she didn’t want to touch. As far as she knew, the Ahn family had cloning technology, and it was exceptionally advanced...
The Ahn family had even conducted an Alien Phenonon hunter cloning project, but it ended in failure. The hunters with anomaly adaptation lost that adaptability once cloned, unable to create more Alien Phenonon hunters through cloning techniques.
This characteristic was person-specific, only possible through searching for and collecting those adapted to anomalies.
Disregarding that factor, the existences created through cloning could be utilized in many places. However, perfect cloning was costly. A normal clone’s quality couldn’t match that of the original; perfect cloning could narrow the gap but at exorbitant costs. Most originals were not worth such an effort.
"And then?"
"Having discovered sothing interesting, of course I had to thoroughly investigate it, but I failed," Ahn Ke said with a hint of lancholy in her sigh, as the research had yielded many new findings, but the failure of the most crucial studies troubled her.
That kind of blood was too unique. Cloning was out of the question; it kept failing. Even perfect cloning was ineffective. Since cloning was not viable, she tried another thod: fusion modification, which also ended in failure. The modified organisms suffered severe self-degradation.
Severe symptoms of Withering Disease proved unsolvable by many thods Am Qi tried. The blood of so extraordinary creatures was useful but only could slightly delay the inevitable. Further assistance was impossible.
And the initial blood samples, after being preserved for so ti, exhibited severe ’withering’ as well. If that blood could have lasted until now, she would have definitely experinted with it against this faintly glowing blood.
Unfortunately, ti waits for no one.
"...You’re only telling this because you failed," Ahn Qi said, feeling slightly relieved inside. If Ahn Ke had co up with sothing, Ahn Qi would have needed to prepare accordingly.
To kill her own sister was out of the question, but she certainly needed to understand what Ahn Ke had researched. Ahn Qi didn’t want it to affect the relationship she maintained with Zheng Yichen, nor did she want Ahn Ke’s research to turn them into enemies.
"That’s correct, but you... you’re focusing on the wrong thing."
Ahn Qi blinked, "Blood of God?"
"Maybe it’s sothing else. I’ve cross-referenced it with my sample database. There is an extraordinary factor in that blood. I need more samples like it, and if possible, more of his blood as well."
"...I can collect the samples for you, but don’t think about getting his blood."
"Oh? You’re going to protect an outsider like that?"
Ahn Qi looked at Ahn Ke seriously, "Protect an outsider? You should be aware of how offensive your actions are!"
Ahn Ke smiled. After all the circumlocution, wasn’t it still ’protecting an outsider’? For her, Zheng Yichen was an outsider, and Zheng Yichen and Ahn Qi were collaborators. Ahn Ke was well aware of the potential repercussions of her actions, which also affected the Ahn family’s developnt.
If a conflict with Zheng Yichen involved the Ahn family, Ahn Qi would definitely stand with her family, and boundaries would have to be drawn with Zheng Yichen.
"I want to collaborate with him."
"There are too many people already," Ahn Qi said, clearly refusing. Regarding Zheng Yichen, he and her oldest sister were already attracting enough attention. Another one, Ahn Ke?
That was no longer a powerful alliance; were she to proceed, so old mbers of the Ahn family would need to take action.
"Then forget about moving in; I’ll give you ten ’Super Warrior’ slots."
"Hmm? You already have research findings?" Ahn Qi asked with a hint of surprise. Ahn Ke’s reference to Super Warriors was in regard to the project initiated around the chip Zheng Yichen brought back. It hadn’t been researched for many days, and there were already results? This progress exceeded her expectations.
