At this moment, the waiter cleaning the 302 Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow private room at Xizi Qingyao Restaurant discovered that a corner of the hardwood round table was missing.
Then they found the piece of wood that Xiaoyou had broken off in the corner of the room.
She picked it up and went to the table to compare the gap.
"Strange, when did this table break? I certainly didn't break it."
She didn't pay much attention to it, and simply told the duty manager after she finished cleaning.
It was just a matter of changing the tabletop, so the restaurant didn't take it very seriously. Even if the previous table of customers had broken it, they wouldn't seek compensation from the students after today's incident.
At the same time, Wu You curiously checked the information about the new creature.
There is no basic rating system?
Wu You had created quite a few alchemical creatures, but this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
Is it possible that even the system can't properly evaluate this kind of creature?
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.
Although the source of power currently entering the animal pen is a sphere, it is essentially a collection of countless small, individual muscle-like organisms.
If we were to evaluate a single-celled organism, it would probably be difficult to even qualify.
However, if we evaluate the aggregate form, it's hard to say how much power it can exert; the size of a ping-pong ball and the size of a soccer ball are certainly very different.
However, the addition of the "cannot be trained" condition thwarted Wu You's plan to train it until its potential was exhausted.
Choose to summon: The Power of the Source.
With a flash of black light, a white sphere the size of an orange and weighing about the same appeared in Wu You's palm.
I squeezed it with my hands, and at first it felt quite soft, but as I increased the pressure, I felt a lot of resistance.
Somewhat strangely, if you use a very light touch, you can slowly flatten the ball, but if you apply more force, it will become harder to squeeze.
This part is now the prototype for all future sources of power.
This allows the mother body to separate offspring the size of a fingernail.
The mother's sphere was placed in the animal pen, and then an attempt was made to reclaim the separated part, but it could not be retrieved.
However, once the mother is summoned again and the offspring attach to her, it can be returned to the animal pen.
It seems that trying to take shortcuts or use tricks to transport goods won't work either.
The key issue is that once the daughter cells have aggregated and proliferated to a certain number and generated active logical intelligence, the daughter cells may no longer be able to aggregate with each other.
Now that the conditions are basically met, the next step is naturally to try to create a "first-generation biological colony".
Another offspring was separated, this time about the size of a 1-millimeter steel ball.
The next step is to allow it to multiply rapidly.
Wu You ran to the kitchen, took out two frozen raw chickens from the refrigerator, and placed them on the kitchen counter.
Without thawing, he directly placed the tiny fragment of the Source Power in his palm onto one of the chickens.
"Let's begin."
The Source of Power received the command and, in a very short time, transformed from a sphere into a highly transparent film, enveloping the two frozen chickens.
Wu You looked at him with the curiosity of a child.
The offspring, only 1 millimeter in diameter and the size of a steel ball, unfolded a thin membrane that held two chickens.
This membrane must be incredibly thin; no wonder it's transparent.
I'd like to try the observation mode, but this feature isn't included in the system information, so I don't know how to access it.
As a result, just by staring at it and thinking about it for a moment, I actually entered the observation mode of the sub-body.
But all I could see was a blurry color, completely indistinguishable. It was as if countless cells had been crammed onto a single "screen," resulting in a distorted, distorted display.
After watching for a few seconds, Wu You felt a little dizzy and quickly backed out.
I wonder if things will be better when we aggregate and form proactive logical intelligence in the future. For now, I'd rather not use the observation mode casually.
He looked at the state of the sub-body on the kitchen counter with a mixture of guessing and speculation.
The two frozen chickens visibly "collapsed" slowly, and as the thickness of the offspring increased, the rate at which the chicken meat was consumed accelerated significantly.
"What a terrifying rate of proliferation, what a terrifying rate of consumption."
Unfortunately, individual cells are not very strong and are too fragile when they do not aggregate and resonate together.
In other words, Wu You could sense that they were relatively vulnerable when they were eating and multiplying, and that they would only become stronger when they aggregated into one and formed a resonance.
Otherwise, you could try using the offspring to "bite" the enemy to death.
The two chickens vanished in just two minutes, leaving not a single bone or even a shard of ice behind.
In the previous minute and a half, only a third of the chicken meat had disappeared.
At this moment, there was a sphere the size of a pineapple in front of Wu You.
Before the shape changed, it seems that the cells of the Source Power all preferred a spherical shape.
However, this amount is still not enough. There is no more chicken in the refrigerator. Let's try feeding it with something else.
Then more than ten minutes passed.
From cabbage to rotten leaves, then to weeds, twigs, and sugar water...
Wu You discovered that the power of the source could eat almost anything except stones.
They even eat mud, but not to eat it; rather, they absorb the nutrients from it.
After a series of experimental proliferations, the original offspring had multiplied into a white sphere with a diameter of half a meter.
They can also change their color through pigments, but they unconsciously prefer a colorless state.
Now that we have enough, we can start shaping.
Wu You took out his sketchbook.
There are several different styles of cloak designs on it.
Let's set aside anything too fancy for now and try something simple that's ergonomic and aesthetically pleasing.
The simplest method is to let the power of the source envelop the humanoid body, and then refine it after it has a general shape.
Wu You was alone here, but he had no desire to be a model.
They summoned a vampire directly, since it's the most similar to a human anyway.
"As you command, my lord!"
The vampire Karl greeted Wu You respectfully.
"Okay, you don't need to do anything, just stand there. Oh, and take off your clothes."
The alchemical creature always carried out Wu You's orders very thoroughly.
Karl quickly took off his coat and inner lining, but Wu You stopped him just as he was about to continue.
"Stop, no need for underwear. Okay, spread your arms and legs wide and stand still."
Wait for the vampires to stand in position.
Wu You snapped his fingers toward the source of power.
The next moment, several pieces split off directly from the sphere, slowly enveloping the vampire's entire body starting from its feet, covering everything except its eyes.
The appearance of the source power gradually began to mutate into a pattern similar to the texture of human muscles.
The aesthetics of human strength continue to expand.
One minute later, the vampire had transformed into a muscular figure wearing a white, fully muscular tunic.
Although the muscle texture is obvious, it gives the impression of a soldier's technological cloak rather than a biological cloak.
And far from being terrifying, it is full of a powerful beauty.
The exaggerated yet unpretentious amplification of the limbs, the streamlined and continuous form that fits the body.
The visually striking contrast leaves no doubt about the immense power that a person wearing this soldier's uniform can unleash.
It's practically the muscular form of Iron Man's suit, with a beautifully shaped head, clear and elegant contours, and a more streamlined overall design.
This is still in a state where the active metal has not yet adhered.
Wu You can already imagine how handsome he will be!
However, this is only a preliminary design. The simplest tests have not been conducted yet, and it still requires fixed-line design and the active intelligence of the suit to be developed.
At the same time, the characteristics of ordinary people wearing equipment must be considered, and the combat suits must be modified into a combination of equipment components.
But you can choose a name first.
It's called the "First Generation Origin Suit".
