Chapter 600 Elemental Attributes
A month later, the old man who had been with Mu Feng for three years retired.
This old man, who was not very serious at ordinary times, was in tears when he was about to leave.
He had lived here for decades, and he rarely came into contact with people. In addition to the material delivery personnel who came regularly every month, he only communicated with netizens online.
Suddenly, he had to return to Xingcheng, and the old man was very confused.
The night before leaving, Mu Feng accompanied the old man on the fourth floor to drink fruit wine and eat hot pot, listening to the old man's inner thoughts.
The old man said that returning to Xingcheng was his dream goal when he was young. When he first came to this farm, he thought about returning to Xingcheng every day.
But after staying here for a long time, he suddenly felt inexplicably scared when he had to go back.
Xingcheng used to be his home, but he was very unfamiliar with it.
After decades of development, the changes in Xingcheng can be described as changing with each passing day, and he has become accustomed to the life in the farm. Raising spirit beasts is no longer a job or task, but a part of his life.
He is very familiar with everything here.
How many kinds of resources are there in the inventory, how many ways to arrange the environment in the breeding area on each floor... The experience notes in the room are his summary of his life.
Most of his memories are left here.
At the last meal, the old man was drunk.
He told Mu Feng that although Xingcheng was prosperous, his life after retirement would be very leisurely, including his future life and daily life would be provided by Xingcheng.
But there were no relatives there, and he couldn't even find an acquaintance in Xingcheng.
Unable to integrate into the current society, returning to Xingcheng was the real loneliness for him, a loneliness in the crowd.
Listening to the old man's confession, Mu Feng had no words to comfort him.
He knew that with his own experience and experience, it was not enough to comfort the old man who was about to leave. He could only be a listener and try to share the loneliness in the old man's heart.
In the old man, Mu Feng seemed to see his future self.
Perhaps in the future, he would be like the old man, from rejection to acceptance, from resistance to compromise, and finally get used to life here.
If his father left, then for him, the prosperous Xingcheng might be much more lonely than life here.
But as Feng Qi said, they had no choice as they were born as human beings.
The human race's situation destined most people to become screws in the development of the human race and spend their lives paving the way for the future development of the human race.
This is the case with spiritual beast breeding, and the city builders in Dawn City are no exception.
There are many other similar industries.
The next morning, a special car came to pick up the old man to retire and awarded him a labor medal.
Although the old man was smiling, Mu Feng could see the loneliness in his eyes.
But he still followed the regulations of the Star City Management Department, waved and left, and bid farewell to the farm where he had dedicated his youth for a lifetime.
After the old man left, Mu Feng took over the old man's position and became the only person in charge of the farm.
After three years of following and learning, the old man taught him how to manage the farm. Next, he will shoulder the burden and contribute his own meager efforts to the development of human spiritual beast studies.
At the same time, the old man left a room full of experience notes.
Mu Feng decided to spend all his free time on learning and try to try some possibilities to explore and open up the future path of spiritual beast studies.
After summarizing some of the old man's experience notes, Mu Feng had some of his own views on the growth system of spirit beasts.
But whether these experiences are the root of the spirit beasts' reversion evolution, he cannot prove it through practice at this stage.
The spirit beasts in the A-32 breeding farm all belong to Xingcheng, but he cannot mess with them at will. The accidental death of the spirit beasts needs to be reported clearly, and then the supervisory and management department will investigate based on the surveillance video of the breeding farm and the life monitoring device of the spirit beasts.
If it is found that the cause of the death or serious injury of the spirit beast is related to his improper operation, the punishment will be very severe.
But how can Mu Feng be willing to give up like this?
He was very curious about the bloodline reversion evolution of spirit beasts. He felt that he could conduct in-depth research in this field in his spare time, although he thought that he would not be able to do anything, so he just took it as a hobby.
The hobby of the old man who worked here with him was to grow flowers and plants. Mu Feng had no interest in this, but he thought he could find a hobby to pass the time.
This is more interesting than repeating the boring and monotonous life every day.
With a clear goal, the first hurdle in front of Mu Feng was how to obtain a spiritual beast to test his guess in practice.
The first person Mu Feng thought of was his father who ran a spiritual food restaurant.
Others did not have the conditions, but his father was a special group of people who had the qualifications to buy spiritual beasts.
With an idea, Mu Feng sat at his desk that night and called his father.
The call was connected after a long wait. The old man in the video was wearing an inharmonious apron, holding a blood-stained bone-chopping knife in his hand, and a cigarette in his mouth. The background behind him was the kitchen at home, and he was obviously preparing tomorrow's ingredients.
"Dad, I need your sponsorship."
"Sponsorship? What are you going to do?"
After hearing this, the old man spit out a cloud of white mist from his mouth, and said in surprise. While answering, the bone-chopping knife in his hand continued to work, chopping on the chopping board and making a "dong dong" sound.
In response to his father's inquiry, Mu Feng expressed his thoughts.
He said that he wanted to try to study the bloodline regression evolution of spiritual beasts, and made it clear that he was purely blindly researching, and the resources invested would most likely not be rewarded.
After listening to Mu Feng's explanation, his father showed a satisfied smile on his face:
"The money I earned was originally for you. As long as you work hard, I will fully support you. Tell me, what supplies do you need me to buy?"
Mu Feng was not surprised that his father agreed so readily.
His father was stingy in other aspects, but he was willing to spend a lot of money on him, which can be seen from the fact that he started using spiritual beasts to nourish his body when he was young.
Facing his father's inquiry, Mu Feng immediately picked up the list that had been listed on the desk, turned on the camera of his mobile phone, and sent it to his father.
At this time, his father put out the cigarette in his hand, then reached out to pick up the phone and began to scan the contents of the list.
After a short wait, his father nodded and said:
"Well, I will go to purchase tomorrow. When all the materials on the list are purchased, I will personally deliver them to you... Is there anything else?"
"No."
"Then hang up, I'm very busy now and don't have time to chat with you."
After saying that, his father hung up the phone without waiting for Mu Feng to speak.
After the call ended, Mu Feng looked helpless, and then picked up the list of materials and began to check it.
In addition to the need for three Lingluo pigs, he also asked his father to purchase a lot of ingredients needed to feed the Lingluo pigs.
He is qualified to use the ingredients in the farm, but every consumption of inventory resources must be recorded. If he uses inventory resources to raise his own Lingluo pigs, the consequences will be serious if he is discovered.
The top management of Xingcheng has absolutely zero tolerance for such incidents as misappropriation of resources.
After all, resources are related to the development of a tribe. Even if the consumed resources are not of much value, they still have to accept severe punishment.
Mu Feng also thought about seeking help directly from the management of Star City or the spirit beast management department.
Star City has great support for innovation. As long as you have talent and a clear direction for innovative projects, you can get all-round support from Star City.
For example, the Dawn Sword Mo Yu, it is recorded in the textbook that his project received full support from Star City.
At that time, Star City was short of resources, but it still took out a huge sum of money to buy a series of spirit mines needed for Mo Yu's research projects in Destiny City.
But this kind of support for innovative projects is not something that anyone with ideas can get.
If you want to get support for innovative projects, you must have a clear innovation plan process, which can only be approved after being submitted to the relevant departments for review.
His ideas come from the practical experience summary of the old man, but there is no clear plan process.
Just like an old farmer who has been farming for decades, they can judge the growth status of plants by the shape and color of the leaves of plants.
But asking him to write a detailed description process is impossible.
In short, he has many ideas in his mind, but these ideas cannot be compiled into a plan process for submission.
Unless he has clear success in this field, it will be difficult to get support from Star City resources.
Mu Feng also decided to do a little hobby with a try-it mentality, and did not think that he would have any outstanding results in this field. After all, he knew his own strengths and weaknesses.
A week later, the old man drove a truck full of supplies.
He brought three Lingluo pigs and a bunch of spiritual materials on the list.
Mu Feng wanted to let the old man stay here overnight, but the old man just had lunch here and left in a hurry.
In the next few days, Mu Feng began his own research.
The old man mentioned in his experience notes that the blood potential of Lingluo pigs can be slightly improved by eating wood spirit fruit.
There are five other spiritual materials that can help different spirit beasts improve their blood potential.
Together with the Guiyuan Stone that he learned when he went to study and visit the Dawn Academy, there are a total of seven spiritual materials that can help spirit beasts improve their blood potential.
After Mu Feng arranged the seven spiritual materials, they corresponded to seven different spirit beasts.
These are all reference objects for the next research.
Mu Feng still focused on the Lingluo pig sent by his father. He began to find out why the Lingluo pig mutated after eating the wood spirit fruit.
The relevant data is in the life monitoring device.
He began to look through the data from previous years and put all his energy outside of work into finding the answer.
But soon Mu Feng encountered a problem that he could not solve.
Although the data was complete, the comparison of the physical change data of these spirit beasts could not provide him with an answer to the problem.
So he changed his mind and started looking for answers from the aspect of spirit materials.
All the spirit material databases in Xingcheng have corresponding data and reports given by the material department after analysis and testing.
Through these data comparisons, Mu Feng still did not find any clues.
But he did not give up and spent his spare time on learning spirit beast knowledge.
The knowledge in the Xingcheng database is very complete, and there are even lectures by the spirit beast teacher of the Dawn Academy, which can fully meet his self-study needs.
Dawn 504.
This year Mu Feng was 25 years old.
His age reached the standard for marriage, and the Xingcheng Marriage Department began to match him with a partner.
Although it was a voluntary principle, the marriage department had task indicators given by the top management, and they kept calling him hoping that he could meet the matching object. They
even proposed to set the meeting place at the breeding farm.
But Mu Feng refused. During the days of living alone, he developed a strong curiosity about the bloodline regression evolution of spirit beasts in his studies.
The more he studied, the more he felt the magic of this field.
By summarizing the information left by the old man, and then comparing the change data of spirit beasts and even the detailed properties of spirit materials, he gradually figured out some ways.
He found that spirit beasts actually have attributes.
This attribute is similar to the elements of heaven and earth in human understanding. For example, the spirit pig he is studying is a wood-attributed spirit beast.
But the existing spirit beast system of this concept is very vague.
The development of spirit beast studies focuses on how to improve the bloodline potential value of spirit beasts, but does not focus on the attribute certification of the spirit beasts themselves.
So Mu Feng began to study all the spirit beasts in the breeding farm and set about making a spirit beast element illustration.
It took him 1 year to classify all 18 spirit beasts in the breeding farm by elements.
Then he compared the seven spiritual materials that could improve the potential of spiritual beasts' bloodlines, and found that the properties of each spiritual material perfectly matched the spiritual beasts.
For example, when the spiritual pig ate the wood spiritual fruit, there would be a slight change in the bloodline value, and the spiritual pig was a wood-attributed spiritual beast, and the wood spiritual fruit was also a wood-attributed spiritual material.
But this alone cannot prove that the change in the bloodline value of the spirit beast is caused by eating the spirit material of the corresponding attribute.
He tried to ask his father to buy other wood-attributed spirit materials for the spirit pig to eat, but found that it could not produce the same effect as eating wood spirit fruit.
Mu Feng still couldn't find the problem. For
this reason, Mu Feng continued to study the knowledge of spirit beasts, spirit materials, and other subjects, trying to find the answer by enriching his knowledge.
During this period, Mu Feng kept trying to change the spirit materials, trying to find other spirit materials that could cause changes in the bloodline value of the spirit pig.
Dawn 505.
When Mu Feng tried to give the spirit pig wood bone grass, he accidentally found that the spirit pig had changed its bloodline value again. This discovery surprised Mu Feng. He immediately looked through the database and retrieved the relevant data of wood bone grass.
This time, Mu Feng finally found a possible answer.
He found that wood bone grass is a spirit plant with weak wood toxicity, which will cause a burden on the body after eating.
But the spirit pig experienced atavism after eating it.
With doubts, he immediately checked the other seven spiritual materials, and found that each of them had the property of damaging the flesh and blood.
For example, the purple blood flower eaten by the wind wolf was slightly toxic, and he specifically asked the old man why he did this.
There was also the wood spirit fruit used by the spirit pig, which contained a spiritual substance that caused damage to the flesh and blood.
And the Guiyuan stone that the digging worm came into contact with at the beginning also had radiation damage.
Each spiritual material should cause harm to the spirit beast, but it caused the spirit beast to evolve its bloodline.
In order to verify his guess, Mu Feng then conducted a simple experiment on other spirit beasts in the farm to verify his guess.
The result surprised him.
As long as it is toxic or harmful to the spirit beast, and it is a spiritual material corresponding to the spirit beast's attributes, it can slightly increase the bloodline value of the spirit beast.
Mu Feng seemed very excited when he got the answer.
He felt that he had taken the first step in finding the answer
, but after the excitement, he also knew that he was still far away from the real answer.
The spiritual materials with corresponding properties have little help in the evolution of spiritual beasts. If a large amount of spiritual materials is fed to cultivate spiritual beasts, it is obviously not worth the loss.
It is impossible for spiritual beast merchants to invest a large amount of spiritual materials with unequal output for the reversion evolution of the spiritual pig, and then sell them to humans at a low price.
Mu Feng believes that there must be an answer that he has not found.
