Chapter 424: Returning to the Hideout, Electromagnetic Pulse Worm, Examining Random Secrets |
As Yu Yuan enlightened them, the importance of the Bloodline Origin Tracing Summoning Sacrificial Ritual was elevated to the top priority within the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
Its importance even surpassed the research on the Promiz Virus.
This concerned the birth of a powerful military unit.
An Epic-grade unit that simultaneously possessed the ruling power of vampires and the berserk combat strength of werewolves, combining the advantages of both races.
A unit powerful enough to shake the entire Civilization Ladder.
Yu Yuan could see the potential of this unit.
Jiu Feng and Miller could also see the potential of this unit.
They had even begun to go crazy for it.
After discussion among the few, a complete plan was quickly refined, with details being supplemented.
Although there were no vampire test subjects available now, they had the genes of Blood Slaves, and Yu Yuan even contributed a bit of desiccated corpse remnant genes from Xiao Wu's head for Miller's preliminary research.
And Yu Yuan's task was the most crucial.
To initiate the Bloodline Origin Tracing Summoning Sacrificial Ritual, the main offering and secondary offerings were of paramount importance.
This was Yu Yuan's job, and only he could solve it.
"The main offering requires a vampire player, which means I must advance to the Bronze Rank as soon as possible."
"Then there's the choice of secondary offerings. To summon a heavyweight target from the upper echelons of the vampire bloodline, the quality of the secondary offering bait is crucial..." Yu Yuan pondered all the items he currently possessed.
According to Jiu Feng, secondary offerings weren't limited to living beings; anything that could attract the summoning target would suffice.
It could be a living being, an item, or even a piece of information.
Thinking and thinking, Yu Yuan actually remembered something.
A piece of white paper appeared in his hand, with a recipe written on it.
Just as he looked at that information, a strong, bloody scent spread.
This piece of information transformed into a chaotic and insane torrent of data, carrying the bloody scent to assault Yu Yuan's consciousness.
However, just as they were about to touch Yu Yuan's consciousness, the pale golden filter formed by his talent, Mysticist, suddenly appeared, filtering, purifying, and cleansing that torrent of information.
The chaotic and insane information once again transformed into the Blood Brew recipe, absorbed by Yu Yuan.
This was precisely the Blood Brew information previously written down by the Pen of Longstanding Heritage.
It bore the spiritual imprint of the Blood Duke. Anyone unprepared who saw this information would be corrupted by the spiritual imprint and turn into a bloodthirsty monster.
Yu Yuan looked at the note, his eyes gradually brightening.
"To attract a Silver-grade vampire, the offering needs to be at least Silver-grade. I haven't encountered any Silver-grade living beings so far."
"I do have Silver-grade items, but besides them all being useful to me, even if used as offerings, there's no guarantee the other party would be interested."
"But these secret contents related to great beings should still hold attraction for Silver-grade beings, probably not too weak either."
"Of course, the most important thing is actually the spiritual imprints of those great beings. This is the real bait that might potentially attract beings from the upper echelons of the vampire bloodline."
"After all, with the precedent of the vampire progenitor, Gurlad, who wouldn't want to one day cross the chasm between the Silver and Gold ranks and become an ancestor themselves!"
"Ambition is never lacking; it just depends on whether one seizes the opportunity."
Thinking of this, Yu Yuan immediately returned to the shelter.
He had been away from the shelter for three days. According to the mechanism of the Pen of Longstanding Heritage, which randomly writes a secret every 12 hours when full, it should have written at least six or seven secrets by now.
"King! You're back!"
Fang, Simon, and Dale saw Yu Yuan return and immediately gathered around.
Yu Yuan first asked Fang about the situation with the automatic writing machine.
Upon learning that Fang had been consistently adding paper and, every 12 hours, would separately collect the few sheets written during that period, Yu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
It had to be said, Fang was indeed meticulous in her work.
Afterwards, Yu Yuan wasn't in a hurry to check the random secrets.
Instead, he checked the situation in the shelter, summoned Mie Mie, and added vegetables, fruits, and grains for it.
Mie Mie and Zhi Zhi had stayed with him in Dead Mine Town for several days; it was time for them to rest.
Simon's son, Little Jieni, saw Mie Mie and Zhi Zhi, clapped his hands happily, and ran over to play with them.
Yu Yuan then followed Simon and Dale to check the situation on the underground fourth floor.
However, as soon as they entered the underground fourth floor, a beetle flashing with blue light flew straight towards Yu Yuan.
The Electromagnetic Pulse Worm circled around Yu Yuan twice before landing on his outstretched palm.
"Is this little guy full?"
When he left, the Electromagnetic Pulse Worm was still absorbing electrical energy.
"It only started moving yesterday afternoon. This guy really has quite an appetite!" Simon said with a smile.
"Oh, right, the six Swiftstriders in the Treadmill Generator Room ran to death the day before yesterday. I used a Spirituality Suppression Potion and replenished the Swiftstriders in the Containment Suppression Unit, but they can only last another ten days or so at most."
"That's fine. The Swiftstrider Virus research is complete. Swiftstriders can be replenished anytime."
Afterwards, Yu Yuan checked the other facilities.
In the Insect Breeding Room, with the mealworms hatching, they were now growing rapidly.
In the Hydroponics Room, the vegetables planted earlier were lush and green. The earliest planted carrots and rosemary were ready for harvest.
The remaining vegetables, according to predictions, would also be edible soon.
In the Mammal Breeding Room, the bellies of the five pregnant ewes had already swollen, and their due dates weren't far off.
After a brief inspection, Yu Yuan couldn't wait to return to the Rest Area.
In one corner of the room, the automatic writing machine was still writing tirelessly.
Fortunately, the Pen of Longstanding Heritage was a Rare Artifact and didn't require ink refills.
Otherwise, with continuous writing for this long, just the ink consumption wouldn't be a small amount.
On the small table next to the automatic writing machine, a small stack of paper was neatly placed.
On the floor were several piles of already completed writing paper.
Their only common point was that the side with writing was all face down.
Yu Yuan picked up that small stack of paper and began carefully flipping through it.
Soon, he found the first piece of content that stood out from the rest.
Because Masier had set the writing content for this automatic writing machine to only numbers. Any changes in content were immediately obvious.
—【The Oath of Alpoc】
This was a medical student's oath, recording the relevant content of the oath.
Then came the second, third, fourth pieces...
Although these contents differed, they were similar to The Oath of Alpoc, just ordinary random information with no value whatsoever.
Soon, upon seeing the fifth piece of content, Yu Yuan's movements paused slightly.
