The effectiveness of live weaponry still needs further investigation.
With the sale of live weapons, the experimental equipment Qin Sheng needed has also arrived.
"Taotie, come with me."
Qin Sheng brought the shrunken Taotie to the laboratory and placed it under a set of precise instruments to monitor its vital signs at all times.
"Take out the medicine."
Qin Sheng took out several extreme potions that had been stored in the Taotie's body, and then opened the Edge Realm.
"Drink it."
Taotie nodded and downed it in one gulp.
Qin Sheng then looked at the instrument and saw that Taotie's heartbeat was perfectly normal, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Give it a try."
A small slash appeared, which surprised Qin Sheng.
As expected of the Taotie, its own characteristics are probably at least six-star, yet it didn't react at all when it devoured and absorbed the Blade Realm.
Anyone who didn't know better would think that he just drank some water and that was it.
"continue."
The Red Moon Realm was also given to Taotie, and the reaction on the instruments was very mild, just like drinking two glasses of water.
Qin Sheng looked thoughtfully at the instrument and continued to administer the Extreme Realm Potion to Taotie.
As the other two doses of medication were taken, the instrument showed slight fluctuations.
Qin Sheng asked, "How are you feeling?"
"Hmm..." Taotie shifted its body: "So-so, not enough to satisfy my thirst."
Qin Sheng: ...
"Don't you feel any bloating?"
"No," Taotie said proudly, "How could this little bit of food possibly fill you up?"
Qin Sheng rolled his eyes. He wanted to know if there was a limit to the Taotie's characteristics. Who asked him if he was full?
However, none of the four extreme states made Taotie feel anything, indicating that it was far from reaching its limit.
Without further hesitation, Qin Sheng fed the Dragon Abyss Town, which was formed by fusing the Golden Scale Dragon, to the Gluttonous Beast.
As the system-designated pinnacle of characteristics, it will surely give the glutton a sense of fullness!
"This tastes good."
The gluttonous beast's eyes lit up, and it smacked its lips: "It reminds me...it reminds me..."
His mind seemed to be overloaded, stuck in place.
Qin Sheng was not surprised by this. He guessed that he had eaten a dragon beast before, and the instincts left in his body were reacting. However, he had no memory of that time, which led to the result that he could not recall it no matter how hard he tried.
This has happened before when the Taotie ate certain exotic beasts.
However, what surprised Qin Sheng was the stable curve on the instrument, which proved that Taotie had not reached its limit after swallowing Longyuan Town.
"That's strange."
Qin Sheng looked at Taotie. Wasn't this guy a bit too outrageous? He could ignore the gene conflict and devour the characteristics, and now even the six-star characteristics certified by the system couldn't see his limit.
"You've come to your senses. How are you feeling?"
Taotie snapped out of its daze and pondered, "Too little?"
Qin Sheng: ...
"Let me demonstrate the characteristics we just acquired."
Taotie nodded, and then unleashed several extreme techniques one by one. Although the effect was not as good, it was because the characteristics were not as complete as Qin Sheng's.
The Dragon Abyss Town Realm is similar to Qin Sheng's, but...
Feeling the blockage in the flow of energy within his body, Qin Sheng did not forget that the prerequisite for activating the Dragon Abyss Suppression Realm was bloodline suppression.
He raised an eyebrow, meaning that the five extreme realms have now been integrated, including the scenario of a five-clawed black dragon.
Is the Taotie's bloodline level still higher than Qin Sheng's?
"Shouldn't Taotie be the son of a dragon?"
Realizing this, Qin Sheng let out a powerless complaint.
"Master, I'm hungry."
Taotie clearly didn't understand and said with a wronged expression.
"Go find something to eat yourself."
After dismissing him, Qin Sheng sat down at the table and wrote the characters "饕餮" (Taotie).
His next research direction is rules, but he has no clue about them. The special characteristics that Taotie is showing now may be a breakthrough.
After all, it takes the system 23 hours to fuse the five extreme states, while the Taotie can digest them in no more than five seconds.
The extreme realm itself is the beginning of breaking the rules. The fact that it can digest the extreme realm potion so easily suggests that the Taotie may have a complete set of rules.
Devour.
Qin Sheng felt that this was highly likely.
However, knowing where to begin is also a problem.
After sitting at his desk writing and drawing for several hours, Qin Sheng selected a few ways to potentially discover the rules and incorporated them into his subsequent research. He then put down his pen and rubbed his temples.
It was already late at night, which reminded Qin Sheng of the day he first began to control Taotie.
That same night, he realized how many problems were hidden in the spawning of the alien beasts, and it was then that he discovered that Ku Rong had chosen him as Ye Bufan's stepping stone.
"What was our initial guess again...?"
Qin Sheng shook his head helplessly. He had speculated that the world was an experiment, and the battle between humans and alien beasts was to verify whether intelligence or strength was more important.
At that time, Qin Sheng felt that this was unreliable, because putting strange beasts into this experiment itself demonstrated that intelligence was superior.
However, at that time it was only considered a point of doubt.
They also felt that they were an uncontrollable factor outside the experiment.
It now appears that this speculation has been overturned.
The monster respawning is simply due to the regular fluctuations in the anomaly points, causing a respawn-like phenomenon...
That said, is the refresh time always the same?
Qin Sheng began to ponder: if the fluctuations of the anomaly always occurred at the same time, without the slightest difference, wouldn't that be too much of a coincidence?
Moreover, the fluctuations within the alien beast's body can cancel each other out with the anomaly point. It feels like special sound waves that cancel each other out.
Or perhaps his speculation was actually correct, and the Anomaly was indeed part of an experiment, a device used to release alien beasts.
Ultimately, however, the experiment's purpose was flawed: to verify wisdom and power. The very nature of this experiment was contradictory.
After all, the person who was able to capture and release the strange beast and set up this experiment must have possessed considerable wisdom.
The purpose is unreasonable...
Purpose...
Qin Sheng subconsciously pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. If his initial idea was wrong, the purpose of this experiment was not to verify intelligence and strength at all.
Or is it something more important?
More importantly…
Looking back on his journey, if there really was a being capable of creating anomalies, what more important thing would he need to seek from them?
Isn't that something you can get with just a few clicks?
Unless the other party cannot cultivate this thing in the conventional way.
Just like a petri dish, you need a suitable environment and a certain amount of time to get the bacteria you want.
Qin Sheng gradually sat up straight, trying to connect the suspicious parts.
The timed fluctuations of the anomaly, the internal counteracting of these fluctuations by the alien beasts, the adherence to underlying rules, and the existence of beings possessed by extreme alien beasts…
besides…
Time travel? System?
Qin Sheng's gaze turned serious; he had a bad feeling.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Everything is already priced in secret.
