Zheng Yichen’s neighboring laboratory was completed, and after finishing the handover work, the workers left the place swiftly. The lab was exceedingly well-equipped; compared to his own workshop residence, the workshop seed just like a dog kennel...
"This is wonderful, so researches can now be conducted more easily." Eileena looked at the lab’s nurous devices and said. Even modern witches need to keep up with the tis, and the lab was outfitted with an animal breeding area that could house more animals.
It could even accommodate so large and fierce beasts.
With this laboratory, many of the previously difficult experints beca feasible, including a designated area for testing magic.
"Next, cos the capture of extraordinary creatures, I’ll take care of that," Zheng Yichen said as he looked at the cages in the breeding area. These cages were made of high-strength alloy, tough enough to restrain even extraordinary creatures.
"Then I’ll leave that to you," Eileena smiled at Zheng Yichen, who had grown a bit taller and seed to be around twelve years old.
Zheng Yichen’s estimate was quite accurate; he would likely regain his original appearance in about two months.
During this ti, Zheng Yichen provided them with an abundant supply of ’material’; his hair grew back quickly, like leeks, allowing for a big harvest one day and new growth ready to be cut the next. Previously they had to be sowhat conservative in their use of Zheng Yichen’s hair, but now there was no need for frugality.
Eileena compared the properties of Zheng Yichen’s hair, finding that the divinity it contained was now stronger.
In two days’ ti, Zheng Yichen filled the breeding area. Regular animals were easily obtained through purchasing channels, and although extraordinary creatures were available for purchase, they were too expensive and not cost-effective. It was more sensible for Zheng Yichen to directly capture them from the southern forest. As for aquatic creatures, those could be found at North Lake.
The situation at North Lake was not as complex as the southern forest, but the fog in the lake’s center was also dense. The lake harbored many anomalies, including a peculiar industry of corpse dredgers—not dredging the locals’ corpses but those of otherworldly beings that drowned upon arrival through aberrations.
A casual exploration dive in North Lake could reveal nurous skeletal remains on the lakebed.
However, this did not affect the fact that North Lake was an excellent tourism spot.
The lake contained a good number of anomaly fish as well. With creatures from the water, the land, and the sky, the breeding area beca sowhat chaotic. However, there were computers with automated control, and Zheng Yichen had copied the main program and sent it to Chiang Wei, allowing the hacker to improve it.
Chiang Wei’s persistent interest in artificial intelligence, Lilith, was also sent over to perform a new system diagnostic.
The result was that Lilith’s system performance had indeed improved. However, it still fell short when compared to Doris on Chiang Wei’s side, whose codes had evolved into chaos, while Lilith showed no such trend of change.
But Lilith’s system did not accumulate any redundant files, which Chiang Wei found quite peculiar. Lilith had a strong ability to eliminate redundancy that typically arose over ti in system operation. Ultimately, Chiang Wei just fixed so small bugs that had previously gone unnoticed before sending the car computer housing Lilith back.
As for the computer system used in the laboratory, Chiang Wei took care of it with ease, her focus solely on Lilith’s System, after all. Lilith’s system, a sister system to Doris, was crafted from a viral system frawork.
The two AIs could be considered sisters, yet with different emphases. In comparison, Lilith’s system was more aggressive, while Doris had an advantage in defense.
A new system had been installed in the laboratory, and there was no need for anyone to maintain the automated feeding system. As long as there were enough raw materials, the laboratory could beco self-sufficient. Two witches were fully capable of operating it.
In another two days, Zheng Yichen would obtain so customized laboratory work robots from Chiang Wei. These robots could fully replace manual labor within the laboratory, except for the inability to go out shopping.
Unless Zheng Yichen unreasonably demanded these robots to engage in scientific research.
For Zheng Yichen, this laboratory would beco an important logistical base in the future.
During this ti, Katrina had been trying to use Blessing Magic to alter and cultivate the apples he brought back, to eliminate the effects that caused mutations in consurs. There had been so results, but achieving complete success would still require more ti.
The existence of this laboratory would certainly yield results earlier.
"Roar—" An extraordinary creature roared angrily at Zheng Yichen, trying to break free from the alloy cage, but after slamming into it, the cage didn’t budge and the creature was left with a bleeding head. However, such injuries were insignificant to extraordinary creatures, which recovered quickly.
Eileena tossed a red apple to the creature, one of the results of researching those mutated apples. It could accelerate the recovery of strength and injuries, although consumption could easily lead to mutations.
Mutation was almost synonymous with becoming an aberrant creature, but not all aberrations were monstrous. Mutation could result in complete loss of the creature’s original form.
Aberration included mutation, but mutation did not define aberration.
Even an aberrant creature could mutate further if it ate these cultivated apples, and if the creature was already mutated, it would only push the boundaries and beco even less recognizable.
After eating the apple, the extraordinary creature howled twice, struggling in pain as its skin writhed intensely, only calming down after a while.
"The mutagenic properties are still too strong..." Eileena said, sowhat disappointed. This creature was one of the strongest Zheng Yichen had captured, and even it couldn’t completely resist the mutagenic effects of the red apple. It would take so ti to eliminate the mutation.
However, the effect of the red apple was evident, as the creature’s wounds completely healed, and its body beca sowhat stronger.
At that mont, Zheng Yichen’s phone rang. It was Ahn Qi: "Do you have ti? There are results from the investigation on the Eye of the Planet. Shall I co pick you up?"
"Co and pick up," Zheng Yichen replied, glancing at his arms and legs. His twelve-year-old appearance was still too young, and riding out would surely result in being taken away by the traffic police.
Ahn Qi, who ca to pick up Zheng Yichen, took him to Ahn Ke’s research institute. The research on the Eye of the Planet would definitely be reported, so at this point, getting closer to Ahn Ke was no issue, as long as Zheng Yichen’s identity drew attention.
If she and her sister couldn’t handle it, their family would surely offer extra support. Therefore, the most critical issue was who would maintain contact with Zheng Yichen moving forward. Over a few days, Ahn Qi had done quite a few things to ensure she wouldn’t be left out, but... she didn’t want to be anyone’s deputy.
Even if it was to be Ahn Ke’s deputy.
