Bob has not been in a good mood these two days.
I don’t know if it’s because the Originium worms brought out of the secret realm are already adults, but a few days after arriving at the ranch, they began to lay eggs for the first time because they had adapted to the environment here.
Because it is not certain whether these eggs can be hatched, according to the requirements of the research institute, these eggs do not need to be transported over, but the first batch of materials will be provided to them after the ranch has enough Originium worms.
As a result, when Bob was raising them, he found that the number of Originium worms seemed to have decreased.
Then he discovered the culprit, a special individual hiding in the grass of the pasture, the Originium Worm Beta.
This creature looked bigger and redder than the normal Originium Worm. At the same time, it was also more ferocious. When Bob found it, it actually chose to attack.
When Bob found it, there were two dead Originium worms lying next to it.
After counting, Bob determined that this guy should be Originium Bug Alpha, but he mutated for unknown reasons...
Although a special individual was obtained, this guy cannot be placed together with other Originium bugs because of his particularly violent habits.
For this purpose, Bob specially made a small nest for it.
Moreover, because of its killing, the already insufficient number of adult Originium Bugs was made worse. Fortunately, this situation occurred after they had finished laying eggs, otherwise Bob would definitely be heartbroken.
After Bob discovered the situation, he immediately reported the matter of this special individual to the research institute.
However, because the researchers have been busy with Originium and [Infected] matters during this period, they did not pay attention to this news.
Since the higher-ups don't care, Bob has no choice but to keep this guy alone and deal with the other Originium bugs.
However, what Bob didn't know was that in a place he couldn't detect, another Originium worm had mutated.
A few tentacles appeared on its head and some liquid appeared in its body.
It’s just that because the external changes were not obvious and the internal changes were not visible, Bob didn’t notice the problem.
However, it is foreseeable that after a period of time, this Originium worm may give Bob an unexpected surprise.

"Ah? What?"
Lin Fei's place.
In the past few days, the news that the research institute has discovered a method that can change the fate of useless professions, allow auxiliary professions to have combat capabilities, and use Originium to obtain the [Infected] profession has spread everywhere.
As the location of this research institute, their Satellite City No. 2 is of course the most hotly discussed.
Just this morning, when Lin Fei came to school, he heard several classmates discussing topics about "Originium" and "Infected". Out of some instinctive reaction, Lin Fei leaned over to listen.
"What are those infected people you just mentioned?"
"Ah, don't you know? This matter has been very popular these days. A research institute discovered something called Originium while studying the products of the secret realm. It can allow the awakened to obtain the [Infected] profession."
"When we awakened before, several students switched to other subjects because the awakened profession was not good. Now that this matter has come out, I guess they should go for that profession and come back after a while."
After confirming that the "infected person" he heard and the "Originium" should be the one he knew, Lin Fei felt a little stunned.
"My goodness, these people actually brought out other things besides the Originium Bugs... I remember that I had suppressed the activity of the Originium, how did this thing infect others?"
While hiding in a cubicle in the restroom, he began to use his skills to replay the adventurer's clearance records from some time ago.
"..."
"They actually used this method to bypass the restrictions I set? Absolutely... I have a bad feeling. But anyway, these things won't have any impact on me as their master, so let them do whatever they want. They have only been researching for a short time, are they planning to use them on a large scale... I hope they don't go too far."
"But, since there seems to be a lot of news about Originium recently, I might as well make an Originium series for my next secret realm. Since the earth veins of the fire attribute are blocked, I will make a Pompeii secret realm."
Now that we have decided which template to use for the new secret realm, the next step is to go to City S to create the secret realm.
But he had to wait until the evening. After all, he still had to go to class.
Chapter 43: The Infected Spread
Finally, after a long class, Lin Fei returned home.
Activate Skill: Demon King Parade
Lin Fei moved at high speed through the earth veins, and it only took him a few minutes to arrive at the place where the earth veins were blocked in S City.
He did not leave the earth veins and appear in the outside world, because his current state of fusion with the earth veins would not affect his use of skills.
This was also for safety reasons. After all, this place was different from the ground vein blockage in Fengsezhishi before. There was an unfinished building area there, and there were not many people there. This was a resort, and there were many people coming and going. He couldn't guarantee that no one would notice him.
As soon as he activated the skill, Lin Fei discovered that the blockage in the earth veins was different.
Compared with the previous two, perhaps because there is a volcano next to it, although the energy intensity of this blocked earth vein is still D-level, its total energy is greater than the previous two combined.
Lin Fei felt that he had never fought such a rich battle.
He had a feeling that by relying on the blockage of the earth veins, he could completely replicate Xista in Pompeii's Flame Blue Heart.
"This is something I've never imagined before. Such a powerful energy... Come to think of it, do the people in City S know that there is such a huge bomb under their feet?"
Because in the previous Fengsezhishi secret realm, Lin Fei had already experimented with the gameplay of the multiple endings mode, which improved his understanding of the secret realm's operating programming. So this time, he wanted to do something more interesting.
"First some Originium bugs, then some NPCs, then some plot and puzzles... Yeah, not bad, very good. I can believe that this secret realm will be my most satisfying work so far."
Having completed all the settings for this secret realm, Lin Fei thought that it was almost time for today and it was time to go back to sleep.
"Hurry up and get enough sleep every day. As for when to make this secret realm appear... let's set it to three days later."
After saying that, he activated his skill, Demon King Parade, and went back.
The people in the resort on the ground have no idea that a secret place is being created beneath them.
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
Just one day before the secret realm was about to appear, an important thing happened.
Yes, at the research institute, they have finally started the awakening work for the first batch of awakeners' second profession, [Infected].
This was the first day their institute opened. In order not to affect the work of the institute, the project was opened in a nearby building.
Several scientific researchers who do not have any research topics to do at the moment are responsible for helping with awakening during this period.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when the door of the building opened, dozens of people came in in an instant, and there was a large group of people crowding behind them.
These people are mainly local, and some came here by transportation in the past few days.
Having already considered the possibility of this situation, the research institute had already notified the Adventurer's Association and asked them to send some people to maintain order.
And their awakening method here is also relatively simple.
They found that there are some solvents that can dissolve Originium and increase its activity.
At the same time, this solvent has no negative effects on the human body.
Those who line up to awaken their second profession must first undergo a skin test to make sure they are not allergic to the solvent, and then receive an injection.
The increased activity of Originium can enhance the effect of infection. Therefore, as long as this injection is completed, their infection progress will reach about 5%.
According to the data provided by the previous volunteers, this level of infection can allow their Originium skills to reach the combat effectiveness equivalent to E-level lv3.
In this way, those who have been injected can immediately feel the changes in their bodies and avoid the possibility of trouble as much as possible.
Seeing that the infected person in front had just completed the adaptation and could use the Originium skill from his hands, the people queuing behind were very excited and expectant.
“So, I always feel a little bit disadvantaged. Becoming an Infected Person can obviously also gain new abilities, and the difference between my current situation and mine shouldn’t be that big. If I had known that this thing had such side effects, I wouldn’t have used it…”
This is the complaint from the Onmyoji who used the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite Core.
After completing the battle in the secret realm of Wind Poetry, their team was resting and had nothing to do.
Because they heard that there was information that one could obtain a second career in Satellite City No. 2, although they were quite satisfied with their current careers, they still came to join in the fun.
As for the [Onmyoji] who is complaining now...
He, no, now it should be her. After a few days of adaptation, the whole body has been transformed from the collapse.
Then, one morning, when I woke up, I felt like there was something more and something missing from my body.
When she finally looked up, she found that she had lost her good brother forever.
Then, she found herself transformed into a person with white hair and red eyes. She had to admit that this was indeed more in line with her XP system. If only this wasn't her current appearance...
"Don't think like that. With your current situation, you don't have to worry about preparing a dowry for a girl. And you should be able to get the [Infected] profession, right? Isn't that even more powerful?"
"No, I've already understood this. To put it simply, the awakening of this profession is to let that thing called Originium erode your body, forming a symbiotic relationship, and then gain abilities from the Originium in your body."
Then, he showed everyone his body which had turned into blood.
"My current body can be transformed into an energy state at any time. My current situation is basically impossible to change. I have privately used the source stone produced in the secret realm to feel it, and this energy can no longer affect my body."
"Hey, I don't know how strong this Originium infected person is. If it is stronger than my Pseudo-Hermaphrodite core, then I'm really at a loss. I've never held a girl's hand, and my family is counting on me to give them a grandson. In this situation, I can't give birth to one myself, that would be too scary."
After saying that, he squatted on the ground, holding his head.
It can be seen that this person is now completely autistic.
Chapter 14: The Volcano is Alive (20/)
Let’s not worry about this poor autistic child for now, let’s take a look at those who have completed the [Infected] profession awakening.
Those who had acquired the Originium skills came to the temporary testing site in the building as required by the researchers.
Because the injection directly raised their infection progress bar to 5%, some small Originium fragments had appeared at the place where they were vaccinated and embedded in their bodies.
As for their internal parts, although Originium was injected, the infection progress was relatively low and their organs had not yet turned to Originium.
"Come on, everyone can test your Originium skills here. Do you see the metal wall in front? Aim at it to activate your abilities."
The data is then recorded by the person in charge.
Because their infection progress is similar, the intensity of the damage they cause is basically the same.
Of course, there are some special cases.
There is an [Infected] whose ability is fire, but its strength reaches around level 5. There is also another one whose ability is airflow, also at level 5.
"Well, 5% infection progress is equivalent to the level of a lv3 lower-level job, but there are a few exceptions. It is speculated that it may be because their physiques are more adaptable to Originium..."
Moreover, they also found that those who obtained the [Infected] profession all obtained a passive skill: Originium Pollution Level 1, and their resistance (magic) was also higher.
"Well, there are also skills attached, which directly saves a level of equipment."
The researchers themselves were a little tempted, but they would not really let themselves become [Infected]. After all, as researchers, they knew best that the research on Originium was still insufficient, and they were not confident in using it themselves.
It was the same for normal adventurers, they just came here to watch the fun and had no intention of obtaining the [Infected] profession.
They are quite satisfied with their current situation and there is no need for them to accept this unknown power.
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
The awakening activity is being held here, but something happened at the Originium Bug Ranch.
This morning, when Bob was cleaning the pasture, he found a hole in the fence. He counted the number of Originium Worms and found that two more Originium Worms were missing.
This is because the Originium worm that was mutating before had mutated into an "acid Originium worm".
Corrosive liquid was produced in the body, and the fences made of wood could not resist it at all. Then, last night, that guy ran away with another ordinary Originium worm.
When Bob found it in the morning, he had no idea where it had gone.
There was no other way. In order to prevent this situation from happening again, Bob had to find some metal plates piled up in the warehouse and spent several hours re-installing an external fence.
"Oh, this is really troublesome. I hope those insect eggs can hatch normally. Otherwise, we can only ask those [Beast Tamers] to go to the secret realm to catch some new Originium insects..."
As for the two Originium Worms, after leaving the Originium Worm Ranch, they followed their instincts and came to the forest in the suburbs.
Because the source stone on their bodies is also a bad thing for those monsters, so out of instinct, no monster will attack them.
So they found a small cave nearby and began to build a nest in it.
Perhaps, in the near future, they will give the adventurers here an unexpected surprise.
…………………………Dividing line…………………………
At the same time, at the hot spring resort in S City.
"Boss, I feel like the water temperature today is much higher than usual. What's going on? Look, my body has turned red..."
The owner of the resort received complaints from several guests saying that the temperature of the hot spring today was a bit too high and they could not stand it.
"This is weird. The water today is no different from usual. What's going on?"
