strategic fantasy

"Look, there's no surprise, right?" Li Yuanhong said excitedly: "I told you it was feudal superstition."

Luo Xingyi glanced at him: "Who asked me to help find a fortune teller in the first place?"

"..."

At this time, they had returned to the airspace of Dragon Kingdom and divided into three teams.

Shen Shili formed a separate team and flew at a height of about 100 meters above the sea, chasing the sick turtle and Ji Tianqi and Jiang Congshu who were on the back of the sick turtle.

The latter asked to come down on his own initiative, saying he wanted to experience the feeling of riding a turtle across the sea. But in fact, everyone can guess his little thoughts.

For someone with superpowers like Jiang Congshu to control water, the ocean is undoubtedly his paradise. But his body is relatively weak and his speed is too slow, so if there is a monster like Sick Turtle as a mount...

It’s normal to have such unrealistic ambitions. For example, everyone wants to win the lottery or even clear the prize pool directly.

As the group successfully returned to the Dragon Kingdom, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This operation can be said to be a near miss, and the benefits far exceeded expectations. Except for two historical superpowers and some aggrieved walk-ons, it can be described as perfect.

On the one hand, Ji Tianqi successfully obtained Long Yuan, which was the fundamental goal.

On the one hand, the sick turtle's strength is amazing. If we can cooperate for a long time, it will be enough to help the Security Administration solve many crises in the sea - the territorial waters are too large, the sea water is too deep, and monsters can swim, the Security Administration The bureau is also powerless.

A large part of the previous monsters from the Saviors Alliance, such as the Bull Demon King and the Tiger Pioneer, were transferred to the Dragon Kingdom by swimming directly from the sea.

They do not need a port, they can land directly at any seaside, and it is easy to use super powers to avoid detection devices such as sonar.

Another reason is that the barnacles on sick turtles are very valuable.

Barnacles can look a little gross, especially when they appear on animals like turtles and whales. But it has high medicinal value, and the shell has the effect of producing antacid and relieving pain. Meat has the effect of detoxifying and treating sores.

The meat is tender and sweet, and is known as the 'seafood from hell'.

It can only be said that it is his arsenic and mine honey.

"We have tested the samples and can now confirm that although these barnacles have mutated due to the disease, their original medicinal value has not disappeared, but has been significantly improved..."

Wu Ya's report made Ji Tianqi happy.

"how much is it?"

"..." Wu Ya said helplessly: "No matter how much money you have, it is all disposable. Mr. Ji, you don't want to use a suspected legendary monster to raise barnacles, do you? Really? Something will happen.”

[In fact, it is better to just kill and take the demon pill. 】

This was what Wu Ya was thinking. He didn't say it out loud, but he felt that Ji Tianqi must understand what he meant.

"It's not that I want to use it to grow barnacles, but it's because I can't get rid of the roots."

"what?"

On the way back, Ji Tianqi did not try to clean the barnacles from the sick turtle due to constraints. For the same reason, the research center did not send anyone to inspect it.

"It's growing again, in the area I just cleaned."

Ji Tianqi's perception ability is amazing, so he can detect that barnacles are starting to breed in the area where the sick turtle has just been cleaned by him. Although it hasn't completely grown out yet, it won't take long for it to return to its previous state.

After his brief explanation, Wu Ya made a judgment.

"That may be a special symbiotic relationship. The sick turtle and the barnacle are one, so the sick turtle said that its superpowers cannot act on the barnacle."

"It should be like this, because I just cleaned it up very well."

Ji Tianqi's judgment came from his confidence, and then he asked again: "How much?"

"This..." Wu Ya still couldn't answer. He explained: "Market demand and production capacity will affect the price. Before it is determined, it is impossible to give an accurate quotation."

"perhaps?"

"Probably, it's enough for the normal maintenance costs of the film and television city."

"The starting price is 100 million a year. Let me just say, there is no future in following pirates. Even if pirates know that barnacles are valuable, they can't use them..."

Ji Tianqi was even more happy, but it made Wu Ya even more helpless - the key point of this matter should not be that the sick turtle's need for humans is continuous. Can the two parties become long-term partners?
But it doesn't matter, as long as Ji Tianqi is happy.

This operation has another benefit for Wu Ya and the others - the Security Bureau's support for Ji Tianqi is far stronger than before.

Needless to say, the reason is that 300,000 satellites have already been manufactured. If Ji Tianqi gives up his choice... although it will still be usable, it will have no strategic significance.

"So, where is Long Yuan?"

On the way back, Wu Ya and others mentioned the idea of ​​using Long Yuan to create the original liquid of demon elixir to Ji Tianqi. Ji Tianqi did not agree immediately, but said that he would study it first, including but not limited to trying to use Beiming Gong to absorb the power in Long Yuan.

If Long Yuan was really too big, he wouldn't be able to swallow it in one bite, and the texture would feel very hard, making him unable to bite it, let alone eat it.

"I really don't know how they are going to eat this thing after they get it." Ji Tianqi said solemnly: "I'll cut off some of it first and give it to you to try."

【We can't try it. 】

Although the Dragon Yuan that Ji Tianqi obtained was not the void Dragon Yuan that Wu Ya and others had expected before, it was a material form that they could come into contact with normally.

But the problem was that in their observations, the Long Yuan that Ji Tianqi had been holding was an unusually large red sea urchin that should not have appeared in that sea area.

Although there is a sense of mutation, it has not yet developed intelligence and is not a monster.

"Mr. Ji, our suggestion is that you do it yourself." Wu Ya said subtly: "We will give you the corresponding equipment and manufacturing methods without reservation, and provide full guidance."

"Eh?" Ji Tianqi was a little surprised: "Immortality, don't you want to try it?"

[I’ve tried it many times, but snake gallbladder and grapes don’t work. 】

"This is your trophy, it only belongs to you, regardless of whether it can be made into the original liquid of demon elixir." Wu Ya's emotional intelligence came online.

"it is good."

When Long Yuan's matter was finalized, the very fast sick turtle had already arrived at the offshore area, and more than a dozen ships had stopped in the predetermined sea area, including many transport ships.

The giant turtle turned over again and exposed its abdomen. Ji Tianqi immediately began to clean it up, and then Jiang Congshu controlled the sea water to roll it up and carry it to the ship.

The difference from before is that this time the seawater used by Jiang Congshu to transport barnacles will be sent to one of the ships for filtration before returning to the sea.

They are also afraid of the proliferation of mutated barnacles.

A scientific research team affiliated with the Academy of Sciences also very boldly came to the sick turtle with a lot of equipment to conduct research.

They came to the same answer as Ji Tianqi, these barnacles could not be cleaned at all.

The sick turtle was surprised to learn the news, but he was in a good mood because he could see that Ji Tianqi did have the ability to help him.

"Am I going to live around here in the future? There is too little food here."

"You don't have to stay in this place, and you don't have to worry about food." Ji Tianqi made arrangements.

In fact, he didn't need to make any arrangements. The Safety Management Bureau very considerately provided custody services. That is, people from the Safety Management Bureau are responsible for monitoring and providing various tasks to the sick turtles. By completing these tasks, the sick turtles obtain food and services of cleaning barnacles.

Ji Tianqi doesn't even need to help the sick turtle clean up the barnacles anymore. The Security Bureau has plenty of superpowers who can provide the same service.

However, because of the importance of Ji Tianqi, this service is still completed by Ji Tianqi on a regular basis. And you can get one-third of the income earned by the sick turtle when completing the task, mainly the demon pill.

The Safety Administration gets one-third, and the sick turtle gets one-third.

It requires demon pills, because monsters can improve their own strength by directly taking demon pills, and there is a very small chance of acquiring new superpowers.

But if he only relies on himself to find monsters, the efficiency is far less than that of the Security Administration. And food is also very important for the sick turtle. It is too big and its appetite is terrifying.

Coupled with the service of cleaning barnacles, Sick Turtle agreed without hesitation. In general, the three parties each took what they wanted and reached an agreement.

After this was decided and all the barnacles on the sick turtle were cleaned, Ji Tianqi took Bai Xiuchu to the Academy of Sciences, while the others returned to the research center.

……

……

The headquarters of the Academy of Sciences is located in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom. Being able to allow people like Ji Tianqi to come directly shows that the trust of relevant parties in him has been significantly improved.

Of course, Bai Xiuchu was asked to accompany him not only for his duty as a guardian, but also to wake up Ji Tianqi who might be sick in time.

Cong Wen waited here for a long time. After Ji Tianqi arrived, he took him to a laboratory.

The manufacturing process was not difficult, and Cong Wen also brought a professional team to guide him, so Ji Tianqi learned quickly.

He knocked off a chestnut-sized piece from Long Yuan/Red Sea Urchin, with a few spikes on it, and placed it in a testing equipment as required, and the testing began.

Only after the test is completed can a matching dissolving agent be produced.

But within ten seconds, the machine sounded a piercing alarm.

"Sure enough, it's not a demon pill." Ji Tianqi said with some regret: "It seems that there is no way to use it to make the demon pill liquid."

"..."

Others looked at the red sea urchin in the instrument and were a little surprised, but also thought it was normal.

【Still unable to represent the real substance. 】

The plan to use Long Yuan to create the original liquid of demon pill failed, but Cong Wen's expression was not disappointed at all. Instead, he looked at Ji Tianqi with great expectation.

"Mr. Ji, do you want to take Longyuan here? The equipment here is more complete. If you don't mind, we would like to test you while you are using Longyuan."

Ji Tianqi followed him to another laboratory without hesitation and took out the holy relic (entity) he carried with him.

His skill has its limits. In order not to waste Long Yuan's power, he needs to transfer his own skill into the holy relic first.

Soon, Cong Wen and others were able to see through the detection equipment that Ji Tianqi's energy reading plummeted from 666 to .

But the moissanite diamond in Ji Tianqi's hands showed no energy response.

"It's amazing."

Relevant personnel of the Academy of Sciences have known this for a long time, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but sigh.

"This is just the beginning."

When Cong Wen spoke with a confident tone, Ji Tianqi had already picked up the dragon yuan fragments/red sea urchin fragments that had just been tested, swallowed them directly into his mouth, and then swallowed them forcefully.

It looks a little oozing, because there are very long spikes on the fragments. It is impossible for a normal person to eat it in one bite, but Ji Tianqi can eat it directly without chewing.

His face instantly turned red, and his energy readings began to increase dramatically.

"It's really amazing." When the people from the Academy of Sciences exclaimed, Ji Tianqi's energy readings began to drop again.

Soon, Ji Tianqi's expression returned to normal, and then he picked up the fire-scaled sword and struck Long Yuan with another vicious blow - at least judging from his expression, his blow was quite powerful.

However, such an attack was applied to the actually very fragile red sea urchin, but it only caused a chestnut-sized piece of the basketball-sized red sea urchin to be knocked off again, and there were still long spikes on it.

He swallowed it in another gulp, which made Cong Wen and others' scalps tingle.

[Are you really not going to scratch your throat? It's okay to chew it. 】

Fortunately, this scene disappeared quickly. As Ji Tianqi kept repeating these actions, all the spines on the red sea urchin were knocked off and eaten by him.

The spikes are gone and it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

When Ji Tianqi ate all the Long Yuan, his power once again returned to the limit of ten thousand years.

"It's a pity. If I were at the master level now, my skills would be 40,000 years old."

Cong Wen captured the key information immediately: "So the holy relic now has 30,000 years of power?"

"Yes, no more, no less, exactly three billion."

"..." Cong Wen asked eagerly: "Then can you feel any physical changes?"

"Yes, my self-healing ability has improved. With Long Yuan and Zhaoshen Gong, I can recover as before even if I only have one head left." Ji Tianqi said with some excitement: "Otherwise, I Show it off?”

"Absolutely not!" Cong Wen quickly stopped him.

Although normal people would definitely not do such a demonstration, Ji Tianqi had a criminal record and he had previously wanted to demonstrate the self-healing ability of his waist to grow back.

"What are you afraid of? It's really possible." Ji Tianqi was eager to try.

Although he can feel that he now has such an ability, it is like various martial arts. If you don't use it, how do you know whether the effect is the same as the feeling?
[Really not possible, because we have not detected any obvious changes in your body. 】

Cong Wen did not dare to tell the truth.

"It's okay, no verification required, we believe you!"

"Okay then." Ji Tianqi said in a sincere tone: "It's really hard to show, it's too bloody."

Cong Wen quickly changed the topic.

"What about immortality?"

"It feels like I have the ability to live forever, but the problem is that this cannot be verified." Ji Tianqi asked curiously: "Do you have any way to test it?"

[We can’t detect anything except changes in your energy value. 】

For Cong Wen and others, Ji Tianqi's body has not changed at all, at least according to the detection data.

"Do you mind..." Cong Wen asked hesitantly, "Can we draw some blood for you?"

"What's the point?" Ji Tianqi stretched out his arm indifferently: "Didn't you often draw my blood before?"

"Then was then, and the present is now."

While Cong Wen responded with an awkward smile, the relevant personnel began to draw blood, and then began more detailed testing.

But the results were unexpected.

The blood test results of Ji Tianqi, who was rated as legendary, were no different from when he was rated as individual soldier. It can also be said directly that there was not much difference from the blood of normal people.

This is very abnormal, because according to the research results of the Academy of Sciences, the genes of superpowers are different from ordinary people, and it is thus determined that superpowers come from genetic mutations.

A theory that has not yet been completely confirmed or completely denied is that the more powerful a person with superpowers is, the more serious the genetic mutation will be.

There are strategic-level superpowers whose genetic similarity to normal humans is only 98.9%, and there are historical-level superpowers whose genetic similarity to normal humans is only 99.1%.

Although it seems that the similarity is only about 1%, the genetic similarity between humans and orangutans is as high as 98.8%, so this mutation is actually very serious.

But Ji Tianqi's genes are nothing like those of a legendary superpower.

"Is this really blood drawn from Mr. Ji?"

"Really."

Just when Cong Wen didn't know how to tell Ji Tianqi about this matter, bad news came from the research center.

"Mr. Ji, Li Yuanhong was taken away." (End of chapter)
