Chapter 408: 【Golden Canary Cage】 and 【Non-Physical Life Research Institute Notes】 |
——【Golden Canary Cage】(Gold-tier): Can imprison one life unit below Gold-tier, and seal all of its abilities, traits, spiritual radiation, and mental radiation; can change size.
(Friendly reminder: Ineffective against Gold-tier life. Imprisonable life units include but are not limited to main body, clones, physical entities, spiritual entities, virtual consciousness, quantum states... But how to imprison them, that is the question.)
——【Non-Physical Life Research Institute Notes】(Gold-tier): This is a set of research notes from within a secret research institute, quite precious, containing many of the institute's unique research achievements.

Oho~~~
Yu Yuan looked at the two items appearing before him.
His eyes gleamed slightly.
The items that appeared this time were one European-style retro birdcage, and one somewhat antiquated-looking notebook made from the leather of an unknown creature.
Although these two items looked a bit abstract.
Yu Yuan examined the European-style retro birdcage carefully.
Woven entirely from gold wire, ornate and exquisite, the cage frame and decorative patterns were integrated quite well.
However, when Yu Yuan saw the decorative patterns on the cage's surface, his brow twitched slightly.
Looking closely.
These weren't decorative patterns at all, they were ritual patterns.
The reason Yu Yuan recognized them was because the patterns on the cage were completely identical in certain key areas to the ritual patterns used in the Spiritual Dimension ritual.
Clearly, this birdcage and the Spiritual Dimension ritual most likely originated from the same place.
"Can only imprison life below Gold-tier, meaning it's only effective against Silver-tier~"
Yu Yuan felt a secret pang of regret in his heart.
Still, with this 【Golden Canary Cage】, Yu Yuan finally had his first item explicitly capable of dealing with Silver-tier creatures.
Although it wasn't an offensive item and even had some limitations, he was quite satisfied.
Sometimes imprisonment is more difficult than killing, and its value is naturally worlds apart.
He then turned his gaze to the leather notebook.
Opening the 【Non-Physical Life Research Institute Notes】, he found pages of hand-drawn patterns: fire, water flow, hurricanes, sandstorms, darkness, etc. Some were humanoid, others were different forms.
But without exception, each pattern had a brief description next to it.
——Fire Elemental Creature, quantum state life form, possesses burning....
——Illusory Ghost, spiritual energy state life form, possesses vitality erosion....
——Wraith, spiritual quantum state composite life form, extremely aggressive, highly dangerous......
......
What surprised Yu Yuan was that while he was checking this information on non-physical life forms, the Civilization Illustrated Book actually updated as well.
Earlier, when that Bronze-tier Kobold froze to death, the Civilization Illustrated Book had already refreshed once.
And rewarded one Civilization Point.
But that was because he collected the spiritual energy that scattered upon the creature's death!
Now, he only needed to read the biological information in the notebook once, and the information would synchronize onto the Civilization Illustrated Book.
Followed by receiving a reward of one Civilization Point.
At this, Yu Yuan perked up considerably.
Originally planning to just skim through it, he now began to read the notebook with great care.
And the notebook, worthy of being a Gold-tier item, no matter how much Yu Yuan flipped through it.
The pages never seemed to diminish. When Yu Yuan finally finished browsing all the recorded biological information.
His Civilization Points had reached 153.
Meaning, this notebook recorded a full ninety types of non-physical creatures.
"There are actually this many!"
Yu Yuan was delighted.
But the records of biological information were just the beginning.
Subsequently, the notebook began to show production information for various small items.
——Spirit Communication Glasses: When worn, allows the wearer to see spiritual energy state life forms adept at hiding their forms. Production Materials: Spiritual Crystals, eyeball-type spiritual organs....
——Spirit-Slashing Blade: Can inflict damage on spiritual energy life forms. Production Materials: Pure Silver, Bronze-tier canine creature blood......
.....
Towards the end, there were even production methods for containment items like Quantum State Creature Capture Boxes and Spirit-Sealing Electric Rice Cookers.
Yu Yuan's gaze finally settled on the production method for specialized ammunition.
It had specific classifications based on the exact type of non-physical life, and the production materials were mostly spiritual materials.
However, Yu Yuan also noticed that the blueprints for these items could not only be recorded and produced at the Workbench in the shelter.
They could also be recorded and produced on other relevant production facilities.
For example, the Quantum Disruption Rounds targeting quantum states, and the Spiritual Expulsion Rounds targeting spiritual energy life forms, could both be recorded and produced on the 【Yo-yo Production Line】.
Yu Yuan only needed to provide the corresponding production materials to directly produce the specialized ammunition with the corresponding effects.
It couldn't be more convenient.
And at the very end, there were even blueprints for various non-physical life protection generators, surveillance camera blueprints, etc., making it quite comprehensive.
Yu Yuan closed the notebook.
A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.
Previously, from Black Domain's words, he already knew about virtual civilizations.
Virtual civilizations included non-physical life.
Compared to physical life, non-physical life was clearly more troublesome and harder to guard against.
Now, with this research notebook, even if Yu Yuan encountered a non-physical life civilization in the future, he would have some means to deal with it.
He wouldn't be caught completely off guard.
However, the collection of resources, especially spiritual resources, was the real key!
Yu Yuan stored both items in the Rabbit Ring. Before him, several mechanical engineers were studying the pile of equipment he brought back.
And Masier was among them.
This was the Recruit Training Camp.
After receiving the invasion victory information, Yu Yuan had returned to the shelter and brought Masier over.
That pile of equipment was what the Kobolds had been equipped with before. Yu Yuan was very curious about these unique special weapons.
He had asked Black Domain about them earlier. He indicated it was a weapon production line he had previously obtained from a Civilization Treasure Chest, called the 【Steam Kinetic Energy Type 2 Hunting Rifle】, also an Excellent quality weapon.
Its attack method was similar to a Shotgun, but its power was greater, especially since the internal ammunition choices were quite varied.
The ammunition Black Domain used contained a 【Magma Worm】 unique to his world.
The juice of this Magma Worm could inflict high-temperature burning damage on all objects it splashed onto.
It also had a strong corrosive effect.
Carmen had also had someone test this weapon.
After pulling the trigger, the splattering juice of the Magma Worm provided splash damage to the surroundings. A 3mm steel plate was directly burned through, with an explosion radius of 5~7 meters.
The air was also filled with the strong smell of magma sulfides.
That power was indeed a bit excessive!
But the main reason lay with the Magma Worm itself.
"The Yo-yo Assault Rifle handles medium to long-range attacks, this Steam Hunting Rifle handles close-range attacks. Its power even surpasses the assault rifle, and its attack range is larger. If we encounter numerous enemies in the future, we could try..."
Yu Yuan quickly understood the intended use of this weapon.
Then he looked at the utterly placid Virtual Light Screen, sighed, and said with regret:
"It seems no one will be launching an invasion war against me anymore......"
