Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 692 - 345 Experimental Record Manual_1

It seemed that Flandre’s sleeping palace was not within the boundary of Zhongsi City, as it took them almost half a day to arrive at their destination even with the speed of courier beetles.

Despite the exceptional distance of the journey, the fare strangely did not increase and remained at ten thousand spirit points, causing Lin Xun to marvel at the rare bit of fairness in the game from the Underworld.

[...]

[As you emerge from the abdomen, a refreshing breeze hits your face. As it had been a long time since you’d last seen the sunshine, you couldn’t help but raise your hand to shade your eyes, and it took you a moment to adjust.]

[The dome of the sky was a brilliant blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, and before your eyes stretched a vast grassland. The breeze rustled through the lush grassland, waving it like a vivid green sea.]

[Oddly enough, you did not smell the expected fragrance of green grass.]

[In the distance, a magnificent palace stood out strikingly against its surroundings.]

[Do you wish to go to ’Flandre’s sleeping palace’?]

During this meeting with Flandre, the initiative was in her hands. The final outcome might involve both sides coming to blow... to be precise, Flandre may not give him any chance, and any rebels against the Wet Nurse may be executed on the spot.

After some thought, Lin Xun decided not to switch into the body of the Steward of Zhongsi City, nor to use Blending Liquid to transform into a ’Shadowdancer’.

The identity of the caretaker of Zhongsi City still had its uses; he couldn’t afford to blow his cover now.

And none of the other shells could qualify to meet Flandre – they may not even be allowed to enter the palace.

After mulling it over, he finally chose to use the body of the Fire Worshiping Ninja Master.

Against Flandre, who possessed the power of a demigod or perhaps even a full deity, the stealth abilities of the Ninja Master would undoubtedly be seen through. But as long as he could infiltrate the palace and meet Flandre, it would be mission accomplished.

[You have entered the body of ’Fire Worshiping Ninja Master’!]

[You make a turn, open a pair of dusky eyes, and your figure disappears without a trace...]

[Keeping yourself invisible, you head towards the grand palace.]

[...]

[As you gradually approach the palace, you notice something amiss...]

[You had assumed that the palace gate would be guarded, but there was not a single person in sight.]

[Feeling apprehensive, you chose not to enter through the main gate, instead, sneaking through a window on the side of the palace...]

[The interior of the palace took you by surprise. It wasn’t opulently decorated, but rather gave off a dark air, much like an ancient nest.]

[The surface of the walls next to you had vertical ridges, reminiscent of bone. Like flesh and blood tissue, it slightly quivered, showcasing a strong ’activity’.]

[Numerous large pipes hung from the dome of the palace, connecting to a large sac in the center of the palace.]

[Through the translucent membrane of the sac, you could vaguely see that it was filled with fluid, and within it floated a slender figure.]

[You step up to get a closer look at the figure.]

[A naked girl is curled up in a ball, her hands hugging her knees. You can’t see her face buried between her knees, but her long hair is floating around her.]

[Dark particles are continuously being injected into the sacs. As they mix into the transparent amniotic fluid, they dissolve and disappear below the surface....]

[The girl’s body suddenly convulses, arching her back unusually, then curls up in an incredibly twisted angle.]

[You recognize the closed-eyed, yet stunningly beautiful familiar face. It’s the very one you wanted to see – ’Flandre’.]

[Only this time, she lacks the charm and charisma she previously exuded.]

[Her brows are deeply furrowed and her face is filled with extreme pain, her body is continuously convulsing...]

[Although you don’t understand what ’Flandre’ is doing at this moment, this could be a perfect opportunity. A perfect opportunity to assassinate a defenceless ’Flandre’!]

[Do you want to attack ’Flandre’?]

Without hesitation, Lin Xun chose ’No’.

"Heh, the game from the Underworld, the hook is too straight, the bait is too salty, I won’t be fooled."

[You realize that even if Flandre is defenseless, you are definitely no match for her and decide to abandon any thoughts of assassination.]

[As the black particles were continuously being injected, Flandre’s expression became more and more painful...]

[You turn your attention away from the sac, and notice a bony pedestal next to it. On it was a pen and a book...]

[You have discovered the ’Experimental Record Manual’ (Database)!]

[While Flandre was still unconscious, you quickly skim through the experimental data recorded in the manual...]

[...]

[Experiment Name: First Foreign Gene Fusion Experiment.]

[Experiment Purpose: To merge with entirely new external life genes to broaden own gene dimensions and explore the possibility of ’Transcendence’.]

[Experiment Steps: With the help of Cultivating Amniotic Fluid, inject an unknown foreign gene. For the first experiment, only inject one unit of the foreign gene to observe the biological reactions.]

[Experiment Result: Mild pain, as a body nearing the strength of a deity, it was unable to fuse with the foreign gene and could only coexist with the original life gene inside the body.]

[Experiment Conclusion: As of now, no other adverse signs have been found. The mild pain is determined to be a rejection response, the inability to fuse with the foreign gene is due to the inadequate cracking of the gene and the too small injected quantity.]

[...]

[Experiment Name: Second Foreign Gene Fusion Experiment.]

[...]

[Experiment Result: Moderate pain, accompanied by mild fluctuations in divine power, black unknown spots appeared briefly on the body’s surface. Yet, it still can’t merge with the foreign gene and can only let it coexist inside the body.]

[Experiment Conclusion: The dimensional level of the foreign gene greatly surpasses the ’Initial Firefly’. If it can be completely cracked and perfectly merged, it is likely to touch the edge of ’Transcendence’.]
