I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1442 - 1023: Virus? (Part 2)
The Great World luckily doesn’t have this kind of technology... right?
Zheng Yichen shook his head; the development of some technologies is like drawing cards. Even if the overall technology is decades ahead, it might not draw such a rare card.
On the contrary, some relatively backward civilizations might draw such a card out of luck, but this kind of lucky draw easily leads to imbalanced development.
This world divides worlds and creates parallel spaces to operate the Project Immortality. Whether such technology has caused an imbalance, Yichen doesn’t know, but he truly envies it! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
"Lilith, do you think we can master this technology?" Zheng Yichen stepped on the head of an invader, who was a werewolf.
He moved at extreme speed, like a Speedster, with a normal movement speed of twice the speed of sound, and if he burst, his speed could increase several times.
Moreover, his burst time is very long, making him a top killer of a large number of natives in this world.
Then Senluo broke his leg.
Zheng Yichen admitted his speed was fast, but Senluo’s Power of All Phenomena connects with nature, making the entire space her domain. As long as the opponent cannot transcend this space, speed is useless.
The werewolf with the broken leg was then sent to Zheng Yichen.
He didn’t hold back, using the black spear in his hand to pierce the werewolf’s heart and begin drawing blood.
Anyway, these parallel entities can’t die, so why should Zheng Yichen hold back? Each of them is like a blood package delivered right to him, ready to be drained one by one.
"Theoretically, it’s possible, but Boss, you need to have a complete world." Lilith was helping Zheng Yichen analyze the possibility of mastering this technology.
Zheng Yichen would need to partition countless parallel spaces within a world to ensure the replication of this world’s Project Immortality.
"A Simulated World cannot meet the conditions for Project Immortality."
"What about built-in spaces?"
"Those aren’t worlds; they can’t support it."
"Forget it." Zheng Yichen thought about it and gave up on Project Immortality. This thing is strong but has obvious limitations; it can only work in a specific world.
A Virtual World is ultimately fake. No matter how infinitely close to reality, it’s just a sliver of unreality, and it can’t meet the conditions.
It’s better to stay grounded. As long as his strength is sufficient, whether or not he has this immortality doesn’t matter. Right now, Zheng Yichen feels his Ark of Life is pretty good.
"Come, come, line up nicely, don’t rush."
Feeling the werewolf’s feedback, Zheng Yichen stretched his legs.
His figure instantly disappeared from the spot. The werewolf’s extreme speed ability was something he could now use, but its performance wasn’t satisfactory.
His own speed was already very fast, so this extreme speed power did not significantly improve him, but it could allow Zheng Yichen’s speed to be optimized.
After optimization, he could accelerate his perception of speed in extreme speed, enabling more nuanced operations at high speeds.
It’s somewhat like bullet time.
This clearly isn’t a time-related ability; at most, it’s a special type of area acceleration.
Within the acceleration area, others’ time doesn’t change; only his own does.
However, both Zheng Yichen’s speed and reaction ability are already very strong, so this characteristic is just an optimization on him, not enough to reach a qualitative change.
Nevertheless, it’s a decent passive boost for him. There are also other invading creatures, and Zheng Yichen drains each of them of blood.
But the ultimate traits obtained are not many, mainly very special ones, while those that seem more general don’t give him any feedback.
Things like super-speed regeneration, flesh infection, viral constitution, none of these surfaced in Zheng Yichen.
He doesn’t need these traits, as his own conditions allow him to have these specialities without them. Why need these passive traits then?
More flexibility? Even if he got it, it wouldn’t be much more flexible, and could instead affect him.
In terms of physique, Ahn Ke has researched him extensively, and his physique is extremely perfect. New traits would optimize his genes further.
This change is very meticulous, meaning subsequent ’optimizations’ will become increasingly difficult, stuffing in some useless parts would instead affect Zheng Yichen’s level of ’perfection’.
Only sufficiently special traits can truly integrate into him.
Having numerous abilities isn’t necessarily good. If many abilities can be achieved with his own strength, then don’t think about directly obtaining such special abilities.
Thankfully, there isn’t much to worry about in this regard; when it comes to preferred selections, his body knows better than he does.
If Zheng Yichen really set his sights on a certain power and didn’t obtain it while drawing blood, then he should seriously consider what the problem is.
It could be that the target is too weak and hasn’t mastered the power to turn it into a physical trait or that Zheng Yichen himself doesn’t need that ability.
Because his own conditions can reach that level, the reason for not doing so is purely lack of development for similar abilities.
Not gaining too many new trait abilities is fine. Zheng Yichen treated it as accumulating Essence of Life, since these invading creatures couldn’t die, and they would revive in full condition.
As for where this consumption comes from, Zheng Yichen doesn’t care. Ideally, the consumption comes from other parallel entities, whereby his current approach could exhaust those parallel entities instead.
Of course, there’s also the possibility that the collective recoverability brought by those parallel entities is too strong.
If each entity bears one ten-thousandth, or even one hundred-thousandth of the consumption, then when evenly distributed to each parallel entity, it equates to no-loss consumption.
No matter which situation it is, he just needs to accumulate resources here, and from all aspects, he’s not losing.
"Really cruel." Tanshia Firlo looked at the large heap of unfortunate invading creatures, lightly shaking her head: "The local powers would definitely regret doing this if they knew the Fosterer’s abilities, right?"
"It’s too late to regret. Anyway, I’m enjoying it... uh?" During another blood drawing session, Zheng Yichen saw several invading creatures turn to ashes.
"Is this considered dead or has their resurrection reached its limit?" His gaze turned to another invading creature, and fear flashed in the beast’s eyes.
Ignoring this emotion, Zheng Yichen thrust a spear into the core of its heart, and like the invading creatures before, it vanished into ashes, similar to what happened to the natives after they invaded.
"Boss, I detected traces of biological viruses; these special viruses should allow them to erase natives, and if such a virus isn’t consumed over time, it would affect them.
Lilith’s precise detection confirmed the cause of death for these invaders, indicating it wasn’t just biologicals.
Even those mechanical bodies decayed quickly on the surface, turning to ashes in less than half a minute.
"Prepared very thoroughly, even the soul is gone." Zheng Yichen slightly grinned, feeling some regret that he couldn’t gain experience points.
For these invading creatures, he used the full package of blood and soul extraction.
Yet these entities have an Undying and Indestructible characteristic, meaning that even if their soul is extracted, it would lose its essential parts.
The soul is complete, but it’s devoid of what is called True Spirit, equivalent to the soul being in a vegetative state.
However, it doesn’t matter; as long as the soul part is normal, it can still act as nutrient and reserve for Zheng Yichen’s growth.
"Can this virus be intercepted?"
"Boss, the virus is just a descriptive term; specifically, it is part of the world’s ’underlying rules’, akin to those distortions."
Nodding, since such a ’virus’ can’t be intercepted, Zheng Yichen had no more ideas. Currently, he just needs to steadily expand his territory.
Let other Proxy Agents continue to strive elsewhere. Once they do, Zheng Yichen has more leeway; if he becomes the target, other Proxy Agents can find it easier, both scenarios are acceptable for him.
