My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 467 Happy New Year everyone!!
"What are you going to do next?"

"Would you like to explore here, or leave here and explore somewhere else?"

Two options, keep exploring, get out of here.

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and realized that since he had already come here, there was no need to leave just like that.

Moreover, if this is really the Naihe Bridge Laboratory, there might be many unexpected discoveries hidden here.

"You chose to continue exploring here."

Jiang Xinghuo controls the game character and begins exploring.

But just as the text described, the place seemed empty. Jiang Xinghuo walked around for a long time but found nothing.

Was it a wasted trip?
Jiang Xinghuo began to wonder why this laboratory was different from other laboratories.

"Do you want to continue exploring?"

Jiang Xinghuo continued to explore without giving up. He didn't believe that he would find nothing in such a big place.

Afterwards, Jiang Xinghuo used his method of seeing through walls to see if there were any secret passages or secret rooms here.

Unexpectedly, he actually discovered something.

"You used your gifted vision of seeing through walls to encompass the entire space. Finally, you discovered the entrance to a secret passage beneath the stone tablet in the middle. There seemed to be another mystery underneath."

"Do you want to go over and take a closer look?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes.

"You come to the stone tablet and try to move it left or right, but the stone tablet remains motionless, as if it has merged with the ground. What are you going to do next?"

"Will you choose to force your way through the entrance to the secret passage, or pretend that you didn't find it?"

"Of course, you can also try to decipher the mechanism at the entrance of the secret passage. If you can decipher the structure of the mechanism, it can also become a means for you to set up a secret passage in the future."

After Jiang Xinghuo saw this, he chose this option without much thought. If he chose to destroy it by external force, it might cause some unknown changes.

When it comes to these relics from the old secular era, Jiang Xinghuo always assumes the worst possible outcome, otherwise he won't even know how he died.

"You have triggered the talent of Tathagata."

"You begin to try to decipher the mechanism at the entrance to the secret passage."

"Decoding in progress, please wait..."

Jiang Xinghuo waited for about ten minutes before a new text message popped up in the game, telling him that the mechanism had been cracked.

"You have successfully cracked the mechanism of the secret passage."

"You followed the deciphered information and walked around the stone tablet a few times. Then you heard a mechanical sound, and the stone tablet on the ground moved away instantly, revealing the entrance to the secret passage."

"Do you want to enter the secret passage?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes without hesitation.

"You walked into the secret passage, and the lights came on. You discovered that the materials paved in the secret passage were all silver-white metal. Under the incandescent light, they reflected a lot of cold luster."

"You walked up the stairs to the end of the secret passage. Fortunately, there were no traps along the way. You came to a metal door smoothly, but this metal door has been integrated with the surrounding walls. If you forcibly dismantle it, it may cause the collapse of the entire secret passage. So what are you going to do?"

Looking at the content of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo pondered for a moment, and finally opened the skill panel, found the option of Turbid Immortal Technique, and then clicked to use it.

This Turbid Immortal Technique was obtained by him from the relics left behind by the Filthy Immortal. It can control the ability of microorganisms to corrode and pollute all things in the world. If nothing goes wrong, it should be able to open this door.

"You placed your palm flat on the metal door and performed the Turbid Immortal Technique. A large number of bacteria and viruses quickly spread and multiplied under your magic power, and soon covered the door at the exit of the secret passage."

"At this time, the metal door has been completely corroded and has become extremely fragile. With just a little force, it can be broken open."

"You have opened the metal door of the laboratory."

"Do you want to enter this long-sealed laboratory?"

As soon as Jiang Xinghuo saw the prompt in the text, he immediately understood. It seems that inside this Mother Earth Cave is the Naihe Bridge Laboratory of the previous secular civilization.

"You walked into a long-sealed laboratory. All the mechanical equipment here has been scrapped. Even the incandescent light on the ceiling flickered faintly. There was no trace of life in the entire laboratory."

"Going further into the laboratory, you will see more than a dozen abandoned nutrition capsules. Each of them contains a corpse. However, the nutrient solution inside has long been dried up, leaving only shriveled corpses. They are all monsters from different races."

"Do you want to break open those nutrient tanks and fish out the bodies that are soaking inside?"

"Although these bodies have been dead for many years, they are well preserved due to the special environment. In addition, they were once laboratory test subjects, so they have great research value to the present world. They can also be used as special materials for refining medicines."

"You chose to smash these nutrient pods."

Jiang Xinghuo's idea was simple. Since it was of useable value, he would just take it. Anyway, there was enough space in the magic bag and these corpses would not be a big deal.

"You smashed those abandoned nutrition chambers and salvaged the bodies that were inside."

"The bodies of these monsters are extremely well preserved, and even the cell genes in their bodies still retain a slight activity."

"If they can be cultivated in the right way, there is a high probability that the cell genes inside the corpse can be extracted. We can even use cloning biotechnology to transform those extracted gene cells into living things again." "Moreover, these monsters are all races from the last civilization. It is almost impossible to see their traces in the world today. Some of them have long disappeared in the long river of history."

"Do you want to explore in the lab?"

Jiang Xinghuo chose yes, and immediately controlled the game character to conduct a detailed investigation in the laboratory.

"After a careful search, you have made some progress and found some things left behind by a researcher in the laboratory."

"You have obtained a clone mark, a copy of 'Encyclopedia of Ghost and God Races', a copy of 'Details of Research on Tongtian Yin Meridian', a method of cultivating mental power amplification, a set of rusty experimental scalpels, a pair of dusty experimental surgical glasses, a copy of 'Anatomy and Physiology of Ghosts and Gods', and a remnant skin of the Earth Mother."

Jiang Xinghuo took a look at the things he found. Judging from the names, they were all items related to scientific research. Perhaps they were left behind by the researchers back then.

"The Clone Mark (rare item) contains the intelligent code of cloning biotechnology. Once it is imported into the corresponding electronic device, it can be operated and controlled automatically without the need for human control in the background."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at the detailed description given in the text and thought that he didn't quite understand this thing. He probably had to give it to Jiang Miaozhen or Lin Tianshou and let them hand it over to the relevant research department for processing.

However, he had to find a way to get some benefits. The treasure trove of the Public Opinion Research Bureau should contain a lot of good things, and he had to try to go in and take a look around.

Jiang Xinghuo put the clone pattern away and continued to count the other things.

"On the Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Monsters (Excellent Item), a professional textbook compiled by researchers at the Naihe Bridge Laboratory. It records the characteristics, origins, races, pros and cons, and other information of various monsters and monsters in the world."

"When you explore the secular world, if you encounter ghosts and gods recorded in the book, relevant interactive information will be automatically triggered."

Ok?
Jiang Xinghuo raised his eyebrows, thinking that this item was pretty good. It was like an evolved version of the dragon identification technique. If he encountered any monsters recorded in the book, he could deal with them according to their characteristics.

But this encyclopedia is, after all, a product of the previous civilization. It is unknown whether the monsters and demons recorded in it are the same as those in the present civilization, or whether there are any changes. We can only wait for the opportunity to find out in the future.

"Details of the research on the Yin Meridian that goes all the way to the sky (excellent item). This is the research note left by a researcher at the Naihe Bridge Laboratory. The reason why the Earth Mother Cave has such a unique environment is because there is a Yin Meridian that goes all the way to the sky under the Earth Mother Cave. It is like an invisible bridge that connects the space between the Yin and Yang worlds."

"And within this heaven-reaching Yin vein, there is a monstrous amount of hostility and evil spirit, which can even reach the underworld directly from here."

"In order to welcome the end of civilization, the Naihe Bridge Laboratory has been entrenched in the central node of the Yin Vein for many years, hoping to extract the evil spirit and evil spirit contained in the Yin Vein as one of the means to fight against the end of civilization. However, after years of research, they have not found a suitable method."

"So, the researchers at the Naihe Bridge Laboratory left behind the details and insights from their research over the years. If new life can be born in the secular world, and the development of civilization is similar to that of the vanished civilization, they can continue to conduct research on this basis. Perhaps through continuous research and exploration, the power in the Yin Meridian can be extracted one day."

After reading the description of the game text, Jiang Xinghuo sighed lightly. When the doomsday came, the researchers of the last secular civilization did not give up and destroy all their research.

Instead, he sealed up his research results and left them for future generations to use, using the ashes of the present world to ignite the fire of new civilization. This noble cause is truly respectable.

Jiang Xinghuo carefully put away the prop and continued to check other things.

"The method of increasing mental power (a rare item). After many experiments with the optical computer in the Naihe Bridge Laboratory, it was finally developed into a method of training mental power to the maximum extent with high efficiency, low effort, and no side effects."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo read the text description again. It had no side effects and could also train his mental strength efficiently. He had no reason not to practice it.

"You chose to use this item."

"You have mastered the method of increasing your mental power."

The game text prompted that he had mastered the relevant abilities. Jiang Xinghuo felt a shock deep in his mind, and the relevant secrets and tricks flooded into his mind.

Jiang Xinghuo closed his eyes and comprehended the extra memories in his mind, which was somewhat similar to the method of meditation. To put it simply, it was to empty his mind and merge with the outside world, thus entering a state of unity between man and nature, coexisting and perishing with the world, and his mental strength would naturally grow rapidly.

Moreover, with this ability, the efficiency of using the Crown of Thorns in the future can be greatly improved.

"Rusty experimental scalpel (rare item), a knife used exclusively by the Naihe Bridge Laboratory to dissect monsters and demons. It can quickly cut open the bodies of monsters and demons, and can easily cut through even hard materials like dragon scales. But now the knife has rusted, and its cutting power may be slightly worse than before. The rust on it also brings some enchanted damage, which can paralyze a person's central nervous system and muscles all over the body."

Jiang Xinghuo read it twice and suddenly came to his senses. Aren’t these the symptoms of tetanus?
Jiang Xinghuo shook his head and thought that this prop was really interesting, a veritable tetanus blade.

"Dusty experimental surgical glasses (excellent item), made by researchers at the Naihe Bridge Laboratory using the essence of the corpse of the mist woman. Wearing them on your face can help you see through the illusions beneath the surface, and can also help you see through the body structures of monsters and demons, making it easier to perform autopsies when necessary."

"If it's aimed at a living monster, this pair of glasses has a small chance of revealing the opponent's weaknesses and the peculiarities of their body structure."

This prop and the scalpel above should be used in conjunction with each other. They can be used against both the corpses of monsters and demons, as well as living monsters and demons.

Jiang Xinghuo took the thing out, took a look at it, and put it back into his magic bag, thinking that he wouldn't be able to use it for a while.

"Ghost and God Anatomy and Physiology (Ordinary Prop), a professional textbook that records the basic methods of dissecting monsters and demons. It can help you better understand how to use a scalpel."

"Do you want to use this item?"

Jiang Xinghuo thought about it and chose no for the time being. There was no rush to learn this thing. It would not be too late to learn it when needed in the future. Just put it in the magic bag and learn it when needed.

At this point, everything found in the laboratory has been basically cleaned up, with only the last piece of Mother Earth's remaining skin left to be counted.

"The remaining skin of the Earth Mother (special). The skin peeled off from the Earth Mother alive by researchers at the Naihe Bridge Laboratory is extremely tough and thin as a cicada's wing. It does not rot in water and does not burn in fire. It can be used as a special material for refining elixirs, and can also be used as a material for strengthening forging and upgrading equipment."

"But this remnant of Earth Mother's skin seems to have been specially processed, and there are some very special things recorded on it. Do you want to observe and decipher the contents recorded on it through the vision of Tathagata?"

Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes. Based on his past gaming experience, this remnant of Mother Earth's skin probably contained some deeply hidden secrets, otherwise such a text would not have popped up.

Happy New Year everyone, all the best, good health to your family, and happiness to your whole family!
