What Qi Sheng was focusing on most was the sacrificial power production data.
Recently, Transdimensional had been developing the pet system, consuming close to 1.2 million points of sacrificial power every day.
Next, he also needed to prepare in advance for the launch of the pet system.
“Guide, move out!”
[Got it!]
As the words fell, Guide pulled his consciousness away from Emperor’s Mound Village and flew north.
This time the goal was to search for lifeforms with special abilities, perform a detailed analysis of their life structures, and then use sacrificial power to generate copyable pet templates.
Guide did know of quite a few powerful lifeforms in the Monster World, but had never conducted detailed life-structure analyses of these lifeforms before.
Secondly, during the years they were in seclusion, the Monster World had changed too much, including the movement of world plates, making it impossible to quickly locate designated targets.
All they could do was search everywhere like looking for a needle in a haystack, go out twice a day to wander around, and let fate guide the search.
In theory, all powerful lifeforms could be analyzed and replicated, including the life structures of the Soul Return race and the Ascension race.
But the foundation of these races’ power was not their own life structures. Their core abilities came from rule endowments. Unless the rules themselves could be seized, simply replicating the life structure was meaningless.
The destination for this excursion was still the Pale Continent region.
His consciousness followed Guide over mountains and seas…
It could be seen that the Pale Continent region had many scenes shrouded by the Evil Moon, but there had yet to be any particularly powerful Evil Spirit warriors discovered.
It appeared the Pale Continent region was not the core battlefield of the terrifying Black Tide.
From existing intel, the strongest force in the Pale Continent region should be the Anti-Tide Legion, followed by the Soul Return race that clashed with them.
As for the terrifying Black Tide, their place in the strength ranking within the Pale Continent was not yet clear.
After hours of searching and constantly scanning all kinds of monsters, Qi Sheng’s consciousness, led by Guide, passed through an invisible spatial barrier and descended into a valley.
This was a world almost isolated from the outside. Inside, a sun and a moon alternated on cue. The sky was veiled by a layer of mist as thin as cicada wings. From high above, the land was an endless sea of flowers, and the air was filled with a mingled floral fragrance.
In the distance, hills undulated, covered by lush forests. The trees towered, and mottled light filtered through the leaves.
The chirping of insects and birds blended with nature.
[This should be a shelter created to avoid the endless wars outside. But compared to the fully independent spaces made by the Lord of Welfare, this kind of seclusion still falls far short. It can be discovered by the outside very easily, especially by forces with powerful perception, such as the Black Tide’s Evil Eye. Under the Evil Eye’s perception scan, the spatial barrier here is meaningless.]
Guide spoke up with this introduction.
His consciousness swept across the scene, and Qi Sheng followed Guide to the heart of the valley, where there was a lake. The water was crystal clear, like a giant mirror reflecting the sky.
His consciousness paused by the lakeshore, eyes settling on a cute-looking creature.
Its body was like a fluffy cotton candy ball, a round figure covered in snow-white fur, looking soft and plush.
In shape, it resembled a mix between rabbit and fox, with a pair of long ears tinged with a faint pink on the inside, like two tender petals. It was lying on the ground asleep, its ears occasionally flapping to shoo away the insects that came near, looking very cute.
Just then, the calm lake splashed due to movement from something underwater. It abruptly opened the large eyes that took up half its face. The light-blue pupils were bright and limpid. It then scooted to the water’s edge and sniffed at the lake with its moist pink little nose, revealing a very human-like expression of distaste.
Analysis ability activated, information related to the cotton-candy creature flooded into his mind.
[Chubby Peach]
Hunt level: 75
Target introduction: A resource-type monster bred by the Red Lotus race. By devouring nutrients, it can produce a special spiritual material: Peach Stone.
—
What surprised Qi Sheng was that this was actually a resource-type monster.
“Guide, analyze in detail.”
[Received.]
As Guide’s ability activated, it consumed sacrificial power to render the analysis information in detail.
Chubby Peach’s life structure appeared in Qi Sheng’s mind as a three-dimensional projection. He could intuitively see the routes and transformations of energy circulating inside Chubby Peach.
“Guide, analyze the ratio of input resources to output resources.”
In response to the inquiry, Guide was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said:
[If it is a Chubby Peach with Hunt Level 1, it can digest about 3 points of sacrificial power resources per day. During this process, through life activities and the absorption of spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the output resources converted into sacrificial power amount to 5 points. As its level increases, the amount of resources consumed grows, and the output also increases, but the ratio remains around 1:1.66. Once it exceeds Hunt Level 50, the output ratio approaches 1:2.]
After hearing Guide’s analysis, Qi Sheng immediately decided that the first pet template would be Chubby Peach.
The core of a resource-type pet did not lie in combat strength, but in bringing players extra sacrificial power income.
At this stage, the forum showed players complaining every day that sacrificial power output was too low.
This resource-type pet was exactly what players needed.
Sacrificial power continued to be consumed, and Chubby Peach’s life structure became ever more refined.
The core of its bodily structure was divided into three parts. The most important was the spiritual core inside its body, akin to a heart.
It not only pumps blood, but is also Chubby Peach’s source of life and the conversion center after absorbing energy.
The second part is the spirit meridian network.
Starting from the spiritual core, countless spirit meridians as fine as gossamer thread spread throughout Chubby Peach’s entire body, forming a complex and efficient energy transmission system. Within the body they function like rivers, delivering energy to every cell, every muscle, every bone, and even the nerve endings.
In the three-dimensional analysis image, the energy flow of the spirit meridian network is clearly visible. A portion is absorbed and digested every time it passes through a region, forming a cycle of absorption and digestion within the body, and the endpoint is the third core part, the ‘marrow core.’
In the analysis image, Chubby Peach’s internal marrow core is located at the end of the spine, echoing the spiritual heart from a distance. It is very much like the concepts often mentioned in the novels read before the transmigration, such as the magic core, demon essence, and inner core that grow inside monsters like magical beasts and demon beasts.
This is the place where Chubby Peach stores energy within its body.
All of this information was recorded by Guide in the Challenger System and made into a life template.
From then on, consuming sacrificial power would be enough to rapidly generate it.
After spending several minutes to fully analyze and record Chubby Peach’s life structure, Qi Sheng’s consciousness continued to wander around the isolated valley.
Aside from the ruling force of the valley, the Red Lotus race, which had some distinctive features, the other lifeforms had no special abilities.
But the Red Lotus race’s abilities were related to improving combat power, which was not the type he wanted.
Confirming that there were no other life types worth attention, he and Guide flew their consciousness out of the spatial barrier covering the valley and began to return.
Today’s search ends here. Pet template +1.
