I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1671 - 1178: Can You Not Be Like This?

Boom!

A series of uncontrolled explosions erupted near the lab where Ban Long was located, engulfing some researchers and other maintenance personnel who didn’t have time to react.

The remaining people hurriedly salvaged what they could, and Ban Long’s lab was promptly relocated. Despite this, Ban Long lost a significant amount of his lifespan due to the unrest.

The higher-ups of the Boundary Breaking Organization directly ordered Ban Long to cease all activities and wait patiently for the commencement of the Heaven-Slaying Plan.

As for the action of harvesting those local strongmen, it no longer required Ban Long’s involvement; those domain masters should be moving around anyway.

Previously, Ban Long was involved purely because he had enough lifespan. Although his lifespan couldn’t be delayed or frozen, it was sufficient to ensure the completion of the Heaven-Slaying Plan.

It was even possible that after completing the Heaven-Slaying Plan, Ban Long could tackle other tasks.

But now, Ban Long’s efforts to bring back the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit had been thwarted by a long-range penetrating attack from Zheng Yichen, cutting his remaining lifespan by more than half.

This was hard for the higher-ups of the Boundary Breaking Organization to accept.

Fortunately, the objective was achieved; the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit was successfully retrieved, and the Heaven-Slaying Weapon could officially begin production.

The Boundary Breakers in the lab salvaged throughout the day, yet a massive amount of resources were still lost.

Many of the resources here were for maintaining Ban Long’s condition. Even in the Great World, there weren’t too many related resources.

Without those resources, although Ban Long could still act, the cost increased significantly.

Originally, each action cost him a few days of life, but without the resources, each action would cost him several months of life.

"Luckily we set up a firewall, or Lord Ban Long would no longer be with us." A researcher sighed deeply after a successful salvage operation.

But the situation at the time was genuinely too dangerous; the firewall intercepted the attack, yet the highest level of protection was still thoroughly breached. Although Ban Long was saved, the losses in other areas were too great.

"Stop babbling; we have our hands full next." Another researcher shook his head.

They would now need to conduct more tuning on Ban Long to ensure he becomes a more effective entity.

Over in another lab within the development department, the researchers were quite conflicted. There was no other reason; the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit that was retrieved was superior to the Black Tortoise’s Spirit.

The Black Tortoise’s Spirit was estimated to be at 120% capacity, while the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit reached 135%.

It’s impossible to balance them!

So is there a way to refine the Black Tortoise’s Spirit further? Or transfer part of the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit’s quality over?

Hmm... there’s no way.

"Let’s just maintain the current status," a researcher sighed. "The Black Tortoise’s Spirit is the primary carrier; the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit lagging would cause the weapon to collapse, but a higher quality Vermilion Bird’s Spirit doesn’t pose this problem."

The main function of the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit is to keep the Heaven-Slaying Weapon from collapsing.

Even though the strength of the Black Tortoise’s Spirit didn’t keep up with that of the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit, their directional effects differ, resulting in variations in how they manifest.

A high-quality Vermilion Bird’s Spirit wouldn’t waste much; a superior Vermilion Bird’s Spirit allows the Heaven-Slaying Weapon to have a higher explosive limit, but it won’t increase the weapon’s regular limit.

That explosive limit is still based on the quality of the Vermilion Bird’s Spirit. Higher quality can better sustain the weapon.

Simply put, a high-quality Vermilion Bird’s Spirit allows the Heaven-Slaying Weapon to have an additional overclocking effect.

That’s not too bad.

"Continue optimizing the plan. Aim to make the overclocking range higher and more stable." In the lab, the researchers were drafting a new plan.

The framework of the Heaven-Slaying Weapon would remain unchanged, but making it more efficient required more effort.

"It turned out like this again." Zheng Yichen looked at the shattered great domain, shaking his head. On the side of the Black Tortoise was the Dark Demon Abyss, while on this side, after the great domain shattered, it was filled with unquenchable dark red flames.

Under the power of the flames, fragments of the great domain floated in the air. Standing at the edge of a cliff, Zheng Yichen glanced down at the dazzling flames that couldn’t be extinguished.

He shook his head, leaving this broken land, letting Lilith switch to auto-pilot mode. Meanwhile, Zheng Yichen carefully felt the new force while casually chatting with Lilith.

"Am I a Calamity Star now?" He turned back to look at the shattered, burning great domain, shaking his head.

"Boss, this is all caused by the Boundary Breaking Organization. You don’t need to worry about it too much; just focus on taking them down."

"I want to find their exact location, accelerate, accelerate!" Zheng Yichen urged Lilith.

Lilith immediately activated Explosive Speed Mode, and in the blink of an eye, the motorcycle disappeared from the spot. He arrived at the area where the forces connected, discovering traces of Oblivion force from the damaged site.

Besides that, all other traces had been thoroughly cleared. Lilith’s attempt to restore the scene also failed.

"Truly cautious." After searching for a while and finding nothing, Zheng Yichen gave up.

The Boundary Breaking Organization was determined to play hide and seek with him. Apart from locating those Boundary Breaking Organization outposts that couldn’t hide in time, he could only wait for those powerful Boundary Breakers to come to him.

While passing through some great domains, he did dig up some graves, using this method to gather intelligence and search for those domain masters, yet he found nothing!
