However, Yu Luo's reaction was ten times more exaggerated than Jiang Yan's. Just looking into those eyes made Yu Luo feel as if she were lying on a test bench, being marked and annotated by their gaze. Fear suffocated her, and for a moment, she couldn't even utter the greeting she had prepared so long.
Feeling the trembling of the jade vein beside him, Jiang Yan was quite surprised.
Is it really that scary? Isn't this guy just a little crazy? He wouldn't stuff you in there and soak you in alcohol, so why would you be so scared?
You're facing the same pair of eyes every day, learning the art of life weaving, and you've never been afraid, have you?
However, Jiang Yan certainly couldn't bear to see the person he brought with him make a fool of himself, so he quickly stepped forward and stood between the two of them, turned around and introduced them:
"Please allow me to introduce you. This is Ruan Mei, the most famous biologist in the universe; and this is Yu Luo, the chief alchemist of the Luofu Alchemy Bureau."
"Ms. Ruan Mei, I have long heard of your name. It is an honor to meet you."
After Jiang Yan distracted her attention, Yu Luo finally returned to normal and bowed slightly.
However, Ruan Mei's reaction was completely beyond her expectations. She did not respond to her greeting, but walked straight towards her without saying a word and stretched out her right hand towards her face.
What's this for? A handshake? No, a touch on my face? What kind of weird etiquette is this?
Yu Luo, who had participated in many extraterrestrial academic exchanges, did not mind being greeted by strange customs, but just being looked directly into the other party's eyes at close range, she returned to the state of being a fish on the chopping board.
Yu Luo was once a person who pursued medical skills to the point of selflessness, otherwise he would not have been qualified to stand out from a large number of alchemists and become the chief alchemist.
She recognized this look! It was the same look she had when she was fascinated by rare medical records and looked at patients!
But, I'm so passionate about saving lives, so why is this genius looking at me like that? Am I going to be sliced and dissected? Should I...hmm?
It was not until this time that Yu Luo, the alchemist, discovered an even more terrifying problem.
Although the other party's movements were not fast, he had no intention of dodging at all. This idea was not based on any sense of security, but he could not bring himself to dodge no matter what. He could only watch the other party put his hand, as cold and delicate as snow and sand, on his cheek.
This terrifying realization made Yu Luo feel as if he had encountered a natural enemy. His whole body tensed up instantly, and even cold sweat broke out.
Feeling the abnormality of the jade meridian, Jiang Yan, who was frightened by the first time his face was touched, quickly explained:
"Don't be nervous, Sister Yuluo, this is just Miss Ruan Mei's customary way of collecting life data."
However, this explanation did not work at all, and instead made Yu Luo feel resentful.
Due to the long-term research on the demonic body, the alchemists of Xianzhou have conducted in-depth research on the self-cognition and psychological changes of the human body. In Yu Luo's view, this behavior of silently modifying one's own cognition and feelings is like a legendary demon. Fear instantly spreads through every cell of her body, and she almost faints.
Damn it! Is this someone I'm qualified to deal with? It's simply a monster in human skin! How on earth could Xiao Jiang get along so well with such a monster, even to the point where he specifically made a little man out of him?
Fortunately, after just a moment, Ruan Mei let go of her hand.
Yu Luo, feeling as if he had been pardoned, no longer cared about his image. He quickly took two steps back, took out two pills for calming the mind from his personal space, swallowed them in one gulp, and then covered his chest and gasped for breath.
Ruan Mei seemed to have completely lost any interest in her. She turned around and looked at Jiang Yan and said.
"Creating a life that never withers has always been my dream. However, at least for now, this problem is still unsolvable, and there is still a long way to go. I need to start with 'reproduction', a destiny that is even purer than 'immortality'. Please don't mind."
Ruan Mei's words instantly frightened Jiang Yan to death.
Hey, hey, hey! Outsiders are still here, don't tell them directly! I still have to go back to Luofu! Who can protect me if this gets out?
However, sensing Jiang Yan's nervousness, Ruan Mei just shook her head and said calmly:
"Don't worry, she will soon forget everything that happened."
This solution instantly put Jiang Yan under immense pressure. If this were a warning or a threat, Jiang Yan would have been more receptive. However, after spending so much time with Ruan Mei and Ruan Mei, Jiang Yan was certain they had no other intentions, only to see this as the most efficient way to deal with worldly troubles. Rather than wasting time and energy with ordinary people, it would be better to "delete" all these boring issues from the very beginning.
This guy... is truly a pure mad scientist!
At this moment, Jiang Yan finally understood why Heita had said that working with her would be better. Compared to this guy who would always help others skip life, Heita was simply more approachable and amiable.
But there was no other way. The only person he wanted was this one, so Jiang Yan had no choice but to try to accept Ruan Mei's unconventional values. After all, scientists, who have chosen to dedicate their entire lives to the pursuit of truth, often have such unconventional values. This was evident from the fact that this person was considered the easiest person to talk to in the club by Heita. If it were someone else, they might have already started world modulation mode and messed around.
Just as Jiang Yan was coming to terms with the renewed shock to his worldview, Yu Luo beside him had unknowingly stood up again, and seemed to have completely forgotten everything that had happened since entering the room. He greeted Ruan Mei again enthusiastically:
"Ms. Ruan Mei, I have long heard of your name. It is an honor to meet you."
But this time, Ruan Mei, who had lost interest in her, did not look at her, letting her see anything she shouldn't know. Instead, for Jiang Yan's sake, she made an exception and nodded slightly again. After responding with "Hello", she continued to say to Jiang Yan:
"I've read the information; it's very valuable, but I'll need a lot of time and your cooperation. However, while I won't be able to complete the Immortal inheritance damaged by the Star God's fall and the intertwined fates for quite some time, mass-producing creatures endowed with the power of Immortality shouldn't be difficult."
Ruan Mei's straightforward words made Yu Luo and Jiang Yan overjoyed.
We've already achieved some interim results so quickly? Can we immediately stabilize the other Dragon Lords? This is too good to be true!
Under the expectant gazes of the two, Ruan Mei turned and walked towards a device that looked like a giant rice cooker ten times its size. After some manipulation, she took out a strange creature from the "rice cooker" that looked like a combination of a cat and a pastry, but with dragon scales and eyebrows that looked like jade veins. She handed it to Jiang Yan and said lightly:
"This creature, like the Creation I gave you, is a byproduct of creating a life form that is 'born genius.' Its appearance, size, and strength can be adjusted to suit needs. After long-term adjustments, it will not be difficult to create an individual with the same appearance as the Chiming Clan."
"Repetitive experiments without variables are meaningless to me. If you like, you can first take this device and the corresponding formula to meet the expectations of the Chiming tribe, my dear."
Jiang Yan and Yu Luo looked at the Totoro pastry in their hands and felt sick.
The Chiming people do want to reproduce, but isn’t using a pressure cooker to reproduce offspring a bit too abstract?
Is an artificial human with the power of "immortality" in its body and whose appearance is exactly the same as that of a Chi Ming clan really considered a Chi Ming clan?
Jiang Yan's existing three views were really unable to evaluate this incredible operation, and he got stuck here.
Instead, Yu Luo, who had been doing medical experiments for many years, recovered first. He took the pastry chinchilla, which was connected to his blood, from Jiang Yan's hands. After a simple inspection, Yu Luo had to admit that he couldn't let it go. He played with it for a long time before asking:
"Ms. Ruan Mei, would a life created using this method possess the ability of the Vajra Clan to transform?"
The Chiming tribe had no objection to creation and transformation, as the power bestowed upon them by the Dragon Ancestor originally included the ability to transform the forms of all living things. It was precisely because of this loss of power that the Chiming tribe was forced to abandon their original home, Tanghai, and join the Immortal Boat Alliance in order to survive.
If it is possible to change the genetic information into a completely new individual by changing the body shape, Yu Luo feels that it is not unacceptable. They are already on the verge of extinction, so who cares whether they came from a Vajra egg or a rice cooker?
Facing Yuluo's question, Ruan Mei thought for a moment and then said:
"The life form of the 'experimental subject' is influenced by the amount of Vajra traits contained within it. If using flesh and bodily fluids as a base, it's difficult to achieve the same level of 'Immortality' as the original sample. Most likely, only a juvenile form will be created, which can't be infinitely recycled. Only by using the original sample's entire life and soul as a base can there be a reasonable chance of creating a successful experimental subject that inherits the traits."
Ruan Mei's answer immediately made Yu Luo unable to hide her disappointment.
For the Chiming clan who worship power, no matter what method of racial continuation is used, the most important prerequisite is to maintain the strength of the race, otherwise it will not be considered at all.
Since the fall of "Immortal", how many powerful dragonborns across the worlds have been reduced to wild beasts?
If the Chiming clan's bloodline deteriorates and follows in their footsteps, what difference will it make from extinction?
For the Chiming Clan, whose bodies can regenerate at a high speed, mass production of creation bases such as scale powder is not a big problem.
But if it only creates a bunch of little dragons that can't transform, it would be meaningless.
Although it is not uncommon for dragonborn to drive dragon beasts to fight, the Chiming tribe is at least the direct descendant of the Dragon Ancestor and has not yet degenerated to the level of beasts that have lost their civilization. It is better not to create a servant tribe to fight for them.
As for throwing people into the rice cooker and exchanging them for a one-for-one chance, it's a losing proposition for the Chiming Clan, who are capable of transformation. It's completely meaningless...
"Great! This is so useful!" Jiang Yan's sudden words startled Yu Luo, who quickly said:
"Xiao Jiang, the Dragon Lord and the Dragon Masters will not accept bloodline degradation, let alone living creation."
However, Jiang Yan said with a puzzled look:
"Who said that the bloodline should be degraded and the living body should be created? Can't you throw the corpses of your tribesmen into the creation?"
"Ah?" Yu Luo was completely stunned.
"Yes, next time there's a war, you should bring a few more of these rice cookers with you. If any of your tribe members dies, bring their bodies back and refine them while they're still hot. If they don't revive, you're out of luck. If they do, it's pure profit. Isn't that great?"
"If you can't get around this, why not just change the shape of this pot and rename it "Reincarnation Pool" or "Resurrection Point"?" Jiang Yan said proudly.
For the Chiming tribe, every corpse is a great tragedy, the irreversible tragedy of a population loss of one. But for a gamer, how can you be called a gamer if you haven't died tens of thousands of times? When Jiang Yan saw the "rice cooker," Sam burned him dozens of times every night, and he suddenly remembered the "resurrection point" modeled for him by Silver Wolf, a huge tombstone with a single large word on it: "Vegetable." He instantly came up with this incredibly abstract solution.
"Ah... yes, yes. Thank you very much for Ms. Ruan Mei's wisdom. I will inform the Dragon Lords of this good news as soon as possible."
As a member of the Chiming tribe, Yu Luo wanted to cry every time he saw the corpses of his tribe members. How could he have imagined such a cruel life of "instant refining"?
After being overwhelmed by the shock of my three views for a long time, I finally remembered what I wanted to say to Jiang Yan:
"But this method can only stop losses and is of no help to the reproduction of the species, right?"
Everyone is here to solve the problem of racial reproduction. Although this "reincarnation pool" is good, isn't it a bit off the mark... Can it really make the other Dragon Lords give up completely?
Hearing this, Jiang Yan said indifferently:
"What's the rush? Our real research has just begun! Sister Yuluo, just watch!"
After seeing Ruan Mei's rice cooker "Reincarnation Pool", Jiang Yan suddenly got rid of the helplessness he had when he saw the information about the Chiming Clan, and was filled with hope and fighting spirit.
Although the Chiming tribe has the skills and is ruthless, they are not very good at imagination!
Now that he has his own cooperation experiments and imagination support, isn’t it just a matter of time before he scores 81 points with Ruan Mei?
"Ah, haha, then Xiao Jiang, come on, if you need any support, just tell me anytime." Yu Luo responded with a forced smile.
She suddenly had a strong feeling that she seemed to have stepped into some huge whirlpool again.
Is it too late to run away now? Yu Luo thought so, wanting to cry but unable to.
Oops, I've been haunted by a genius!: Chapter 196: Heart of the Dragon
After obtaining the structural diagram and corresponding formula of the "Life Baking Oven" that looked like an electric rice cooker, Yu Luo took the pastry chinchilla that was made based on her own recipe, said goodbye to Ruan Mei very politely and quickly, and hurriedly fled the laboratory.
She really couldn't guarantee that if she continued to stay, she would not inexplicably become an accomplice or experimental material of some shocking and cruel life.
Are we really the same species from the same dimension? Why do I feel like I'm not breathing on the same frequency as these two people?
I am just a fish, why did you launch me into the sky to chat with birds?
Xiao Jiang, it’s up to you!
My sister, an ordinary person, has to go back to the water and become a salted fish!
Ruan Mei's expression remained unmoved by Yu Luo's reaction. Even within the club, she was considered a "Frankenstein," let alone by the general public. Whether it was reverence or fear, she was already accustomed to it.
As an alien, you should live alone and abandon those communications that only make people feel noisy, that's all.
Of course, his assistant was an exception. Ruan Mei thought so as she began to stroke Jiang Yan's face without saying a word and read the changes in life information from it.
There was nothing wrong with his report on the creation of life. During this period, his assistant had really mastered the basic application of the life spinning method.
Very good, it met and even slightly exceeded my expectations. It's worth investing more energy and paying more "rewards".
Ruan Mei continued to analyze the subtle changes in the energy structure in Jiang Yan's body, staring at Jiang Yan with a cold but infinitely fanatical look and said:
"The information from the Chiming Clan is very valuable. I have a better solution to the problem of lifting the upper limit of your body's power. My dear, are you willing to accept the power of "Immortality" as the foundation to rebuild the balance of power in your body?"
Wow! She actually asked for my opinion!
Jiang Yan simply couldn't believe that this crazy scientist in front of him, who used pheromones to modify emotions and memories to achieve his goals at the slightest disagreement, would actually ask him "Are you willing?" He felt flattered.
Are you willing or not...Of course I am!
Jiang Yan nodded directly and decisively:
"Of course I would. Thank you very much."
If you don’t choose to be a dragon man, would you choose to be a locust man?
Even among all the forces of destiny, the star god has fallen and will not become a wage earner; his reputation is good and he will not become the public enemy of the universe; his nature is not extreme and he will not become a crazy person. "Immortality" is also one of the safest choices. What is there to be picky about?
Facing Jiang Yan's cooperative attitude, Ruan Mei nodded and continued:
"Based on the information in the file and my own judgment, although the Vajra Clan's Dragon Transformation technique has endowed you with a direct line of 'immortality,' the bloodline is too diluted, lacking the powerful 'immortality' force to activate it. As a result, the transformation is not fully complete, but rather lurks within you, only partially exerting its effects when you fully activate its power. Is that correct?"
After hearing Ruan Mei's analysis, Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Strength and potential are two completely different things. Ever since hearing that he possessed a portion of the Dragon Lord's power, Jiang Yan had been constantly trying to activate this bloodline, striving to unleash a Blue Dragon Cleansing the World or something similar. However, even after repeated practice and racking his brains, even summoning a cloud of water mist, let alone a Blue Dragon Cleansing the World, required him to unleash all his strength. This power could only be used to offset the damage inflicted by the Protective Flame and the Suiyang Fire.
I don't want to be a medicine-holding dragon man. Using such powerful strength just to replenish blood is not worthy of the reputation of the power of the Vajra Dragon Lord.
After hearing Ruan Mei's words, Jiang Yan finally understood that although Bai Lu had turned him into a luxury car, there was not much oil in the tank. He still had to find a way to get gasoline. No matter how luxurious the car was, only bulletproof glass and explosion-proof airbags would be meaningful if it had no oil.
But how can I temper the power of "immortality"? I have never heard of any method used by the Chiming tribe to temper the power of "immortality"!
Just when Jiang Yan was lost in thought, he heard Ruan Mei throw out another harsh word:
"Obtaining some ancient dragon blood isn't difficult for me, but the power of Immortality causes most of your energy to flow at high speeds. Excessive Immortality will only deplete your remaining energy at an extremely fast rate. So first, you need to replace your heart with one that can control the release rate of Immortality blood."
I knew that when biologists come up with plans, they would always involve organ transplantation and bioremediation... After hearing Ruan Mei's plan, Jiang Yan couldn't help but ask:
"You're not planning to have me fuse with the heart of an ancient dragon and become some kind of fusion warrior, are you?"
Facing Jiang Yan's question, Ruan Mei said calmly:
"Don't worry about where the heart comes from; it's part of the 'reward.'"
Hearing Ruan Mei's words, Jiang Yan suddenly became anxious.
This guy's idea obviously came from the information of the "New Blood Faction" of the Chiming Clan, but when the same idea fell into Ruan Mei's hands, Jiang Yan felt scared just thinking about it.
Given her style, would she perform a large-scale refining ritual on a certain planet and then refine the corpse of an ancient dragon surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood into a heart?
