Chapter 238 Return
Before I knew it, fifty years had passed.
For mortals, this is already half a lifetime of vicissitudes.
But for a wizard immersed in the ocean of knowledge, it is just a blink of an eye.
At this moment, Benjamin was standing in his huge underground laboratory as usual.
His eyes were focused on the two balls of light that were slowly merging and were suspended in mid-air by countless sophisticated instruments.
Under the interweaving of various complex energy fields, two cores, one blue and one red, emitting the breath of origin, are constantly merging, penetrating, and entangled with each other at an extremely slow but extremely firm speed.
After confirming that the core was finally stable, Benjamin's face finally revealed a look of fatigue and anticipation.
Of these two cores, the red one is the core of the "Lava Giant" and the blue one is the core of the "Snow Monster".
Strictly speaking, these two types of pure elemental life do not actually have such a thing as a "core" in the traditional sense of elemental biology.
When the "lava giants" are alive, their so-called cores are actually countless tiny crystalline fragments the size of rice grains scattered throughout their bodies.
These crystal fragments not only contain their most fundamental life information, but also store massive amounts of fire element energy.
Because there are so many of them, almost all over the body, even if a large part of them is lost during a fierce battle, it will not cause any fatal impact on them.
When lava giants need to reproduce, they will separate the fullest small crystal from their bodies and put it into an incubation pool or an energy-rich magma pool.
The so-called "lava giant core" in front of Jemin is actually an energy aggregate formed after the lava giant died. All the remaining tiny crystals in its body were carefully selected artificially and forcibly gathered together using special technology.
At its core, "Snow Monster" is a similar situation, albeit in a more extreme form.
Living snow monsters don't even have a fixed crystal in their bodies.
However, this elemental life has a very peculiar biological instinct - when encountering high temperatures and causing its body to melt, those melted bodies will instinctively tend to gather together to ensure that they can recover their combat effectiveness faster.
And these physiological characteristics will continue after they die.
After the yeti dies, those parts of its body with the strongest vitality and the highest energy intensity will automatically gather together under the influence of this special physiological characteristic.
It forms an ice-blue irregular crystal, which is the so-called "snow monster core".
When Benjamin first set up the research plan of "strengthening the lava giant race", he set the target of "strengthening materials" on the "snow monsters" that came from the same plane as the lava giants but had completely opposite attributes.
However, when he was in the Flame Frost Plane, he did not do enough research on elemental life forms such as snow monsters.
Moreover, he is not good at genetic modification knowledge related to the "water element".
Therefore, the entire project has been full of difficulties and progress has been slow.
Ever since Benjamin received the "Origin of Water Element" awarded by Dean Avery Knight, Benjamin's entire research speed has become much faster as if he had wings!
Now, the final results are about to be achieved!
Benjamin operated the instrument control terminal next to him for a while, looked at the data on the screen, and silently estimated it in his heart.
Judging from the data, the integration progress of the two cores has entered a stable period, and it is estimated that it will take more than a year for the complete integration to be completed.
At that time, it will be possible to confirm whether the final result of this century-long research program was a success or a failure.
Buzz...
At this moment, the communicator next to him rang, prompting him that he had received a space transmission request sent through the laboratory's internal authority.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows, clicked on the source of the request and found that the person coming was Viola.
"Is the research over?" Benjamin muttered to himself and casually confirmed the request.
The next second, the teleportation array in the center of the laboratory shone brightly.
Accompanied by a violent spatial fluctuation, a staggering figure fell out.
The two met again after decades.
Even Jie Ming couldn't help but be stunned after seeing Viola's appearance at this moment.
Viola looked quite miserable at this moment.
Her long silver hair, which was originally smooth and silky like moonlight, now became dry, frizzy and messy, just like the hair that had been struck by lightning.
Her silver-gray eyes, which always sparkled with cunning and wisdom, became dull and full of fatigue.
Even thick dark circles formed under her eyes.
For a sixth-level wizard to look so miserable, with such noticeable dark circles under his eyes...
It was obvious at a glance that she had been working like a "beast" for mentor Clark in the harsh environment of the Flame Frost Plane for so many years, and she was exhausted.
"Hey, Benjamin... Junior." Viola waved at him weakly, her voice hoarse, "Sorry, I came uninvited."
"Senior, what's wrong with you..." Benjamin walked over and handed her a bottle of restorative potion.
Viola took the potion and drank it in one gulp. She breathed a long sigh of relief, and her dull eyes finally regained some vitality.
She looked at Benjamin with a sincere smile on her face. "Come to think of it, I have to thank you for sending me those spirit-strengthening and fatigue-relieving potions. If it weren't for them, I might have really died in that damn place."
Seeing her weak appearance, Benjamin's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Looking at your miserable appearance, you must have been very tired these years."
Upon hearing this, Viola nodded in agreement.
Then, a morbid and fanatical blush suddenly appeared on her face!
She stuck out her tongue, licked her cracked lips, and said in a tone of pleasure that bordered on a moan, "That's right! It really is... too tiring! That kind of soul and body being squeezed to the limit, teetering on the brink of collapse every second... a painful experience! Ah... it's truly quite rare! And it also makes me... feel extremely comfortable!"
The corner of Benjamin's eye twitched uncontrollably.
He silently withdrew his concern in his heart.
He felt that he was so stupid that he actually worried about this guy. It was completely unnecessary!
Seeing Viola like this, Benjamin felt that a complete pervert like her was indeed the most suitable user of the "pain" rule!
"Okay, I'm done joking." Viola quickly returned to normal and explained her purpose: "I'm here mainly to tell you about Professor Clark's research in the Flame Frost Plane."
"Instructor, he has made a major breakthrough in a key research project over there. Therefore, he will most likely have to stay in that plane for several hundred more years before returning."
"Instructor Clark asked me to tell you that if you've finished making the Red Dust Potion that you used to repay the loan, you can contact him later through the mark between us and directly teleport the potion to the Flame Frost Plane."
Benjamin understood what was going on. He knew that his mentor was collecting the debt in disguise.
After all, quite a while has passed, and it is time for me to continue paying off my debts.
He immediately said, "I understand. Please tell Mr. Clark that I will prepare the potion and send it over as soon as possible."
After saying that, he looked at Viola and asked, "What about you? What are you going to do next?"
Violet stretched, revealing her beautiful figure. "As for me... through decades of intense research and 'experience' with the laws of that plane, I've finally managed to bring my knowledge level up to the 'passing line' of a fifth-level wizard."
"So, Mr. Clark mercifully allowed me to leave temporarily. He told me to go back and catch up on the basics I'd missed, and... research how to pay off that astronomical debt."
As she spoke, her silver-gray eyes, which had regained their spirit, rolled around and looked at Jie Ming and asked, "So...Junior Jie Ming, do you have any work that can make money quickly recently?"
Benjamin thought about it, and the incident of fifty years ago immediately emerged in his mind.
He organized his words a little and briefly told her that Dean Avery Knight had recently discovered a new dimension.
He also said, "I heard that the enemy's combat power is very strong, and the intensity of the war is quite high, so combat power is very needed. However, because of this reason, that plane is not only rich in resources, but also has a very generous exchange rate for military merit. Senior Viola, if you want to make a quick buck, you can go there and take a look."
Benjamin remembered clearly that this senior sister Viola was also a visiting professor at the newly built branch of Nolen College on the Elosia plane.
In theory, she could also be considered a wizard under Dean Avery Knight.
It was reasonable to join the war in the past.
"A new plane?!"
Viola's eyes lit up instantly!
That kind of light is the light that a bloodthirsty wolf will show when it sees a fat flock of sheep!
War means chaos, means death, means...pain!
Of course, it also means huge, unimaginable opportunities and wealth!
Then, she clapped her hands excitedly, "It's settled! I'll go back and prepare for twenty or thirty years, get myself into top shape, upgrade my lovely 'pets', and then, I'll be leaving right away!"
Seeing her eager and impatient look, Benjamin could only mourn for three seconds in advance for that unknown unfortunate world.
