Chapter 690
Li Goudan was a person who loved to join in the fun. Naturally, she would not miss out on the exploration of the map of Gondolin. There, she had seen some lords who were reluctant to undergo genetic surgery, causing soldiers to mutate.
This was related to the cost. It was difficult for soldiers to avoid fighting with the local mutated creatures when exploring the map. The more battles they fought, the more alchemy energy they absorbed. And that energy was very complicated, in addition to the pure energy produced by the creatures themselves, there were also the complex mutations of genes and elements. Therefore, the soldiers who stayed there for a long time would mutate.
In response to this situation, the biological surgery launched by Gondolin could basically solve the problem. Whether it was the number six sequence of the strengthened main gene or the number four sequence of the druid that could co-exist with multiple genes, they could solve the problem of soldier mutation, however, the drawback was that the cost was too high!
The biological gene surgery was a hole that burned gold. It was not something that could be managed with one surgery for the rest of one’s life. Especially when it was constantly absorbing high-intensity and complicated energy, the frequency of the need for advanced surgery would increase, in other words, your soldier would need to constantly spend money to carry out the surgery.
For example, a soldier carrying out a druid surgery would cost 50,000 points. After the surgery, after a period of training, he would reach the level of a Gold Knight. After that, he would need to stay in the Black Goat region for about two months before he would reach his limit, you would need to perform another advanced surgery to deal with the complicated energy. The second surgery would allow your soldier to become a legend. The required points would be 100,000 points!
Then, the question was, would you move or not? If you did not move, your soldier would not be able to continue wandering in the map. Otherwise, he might lose control of his mutation. However, if you moved, you would not be able to guarantee that the soldier’s income in the map would be able to make up for the cost.
As a result, many players could only brace themselves and invest their money even if their hearts were bleeding... ...
How could a player not be tempted by such a large market? However, the problem was that Gondorin’s biological surgery technology was too advanced. Isabelle had initially arranged for Gondorin to let its forces have a large amount of funds for technological development. It was currently the fastest-growing force in the technological tree other than cabbages, moreover, it had already begun to focus on the area of gene surgery.
With a large amount of funds and technological development that was one step ahead of others, it was extremely difficult for other forces to catch up. Hence, there were people who wanted to find a new way to use a new type of surgery to seize the market!
It was the pure energy surgery!
This surgery was a collaborative research project between the players of the energy shaping Lord and the players of the biological lord. It was to purify the energy that the soldiers brought back from the map of the Black Goat. It did not do gene evolution or compatibility, the purified energy would be easier to absorb if there was no genetic mutation in the body. It might even be able to achieve the path of natural evolution.
The most important thing was that the cost was low. After the surgery experiment was successful, they only asked for 5,000 points in order to seize the market. This was almost one-tenth of the price of a beginner surgery in Gondolin. This kind of enticing price naturally attracted many players, in a short time, almost half of Gondolin’s share of the surgery was taken away!
At that time, many experts who took advantage of Grandpa Lu’s deep sleep came out to comment that this new surgical idea had opened up a new era to break the monopoly of Gondolin’s genetic surgery. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. This surgery had a fatal flaw, the pure energy input was indeed easier to absorb and the cost was lower. However, without genetic evolution, the body’s energy capacity was limited. Moreover, according to the latest research, this pure energy input would cause the body’s biological system to become chaotic, as a result, all sorts of problems would arise, eventually leading to the collapse of the biological system!
Later on, the soldiers who had undergone this kind of surgery began to experience all sorts of situations, the soldiers who had their internal organs enlarged and led to the disorder of the body, the soldiers who had their nerve centers broken and turned into human-shaped zombies, and the soldiers who had their bones growing out of control and turned into crawling people like centipedes. However, at most, they would become like Roger from before, with their blood vessels and meridians expanding and their skin and flesh falling off, it would turn into a kind of flesh-and-blood human, and the nerves in the brain would also collapse and eventually turn into something like a bloody corpse.
The players affectionately called it the blood dumpling!
Because the outcome was too miserable, Eggface could not help but find a developer to ask for the reason. The developer of Gondolin, ran Xiaojuan, told her that most of the warriors in this world were Qi practitioners, somewhat similar to the Qi practitioners in central China, they relied on their veins to guide energy to strengthen themselves, which was why their veins had the biggest weakness. They also told themselves many times not to think of taking the wrong path, and that it was the best way to spend money to do regular genetic surgery on them. The two players with strange ideas were too simple-minded, and they would collapse sooner or later... ...
As expected, the rapid evolution method that skipped the genetic modification caused huge losses to many lords. The two player forces that implemented this plan were still embroiled in a huge economic dispute...
Thinking of this, Li Goudan was a little curious. He heard that the two lords had not appeared for some time, so they would not come here to continue experimenting, right?
Otherwise, why would they come up with the same trick?
But that was not important. The key was to understand the situation here.
Hans could not bluff the other party, in the end, he could only say honestly, “Yes, you can get stronger. That Roger came around the same time as me. At that time, he was only silver-tier, but he first discovered the rules here. He sacrificed a lot of people to have a weapon that could unleash terrifying combat aura, and his strength also evolved to gold-tier!”
“I see...”Li Goudan rubbed his chin and nodded, this was interesting. Not only could they change people here, but they could also change weapons and power. Although power harvesting was a very deceptive pure energy input, it was still a high-end technology. She really wanted to know, who was the person who was trading...
It couldn’t really be the fast crystal, right?
Hans looked at the person carefully. The reason he didn’t reveal the complete information was not because he wanted to set her up, he was afraid that the person would know the allure of the Crystal and wouldn’t be able to resist hunting people like Roger.
With her strength, she had almost no resistance against him...
“By the way, before I came here, I met a monster that could transform into my crew. It lured me here. Do you know what that thing is?”Asked Eggface.
Hans: “Pogrel...”
Eggface: “What Line?”
Hans: “Looks like you’re not from the Western Isles...”
Eggface:”...”
Hans: “Pogrel is what we call an evil spirit. There was a legend a long time ago that there was a kind of skinned evil spirit in this world. After killing a person, it would eat the flesh and bones of the person. Then, it would peel off his belt and put it on its body. Then, it would return to his hometown and eat his family with his identity!”
Hearing this, Eggface frowned. Was Johnny directly skinned?
“Of course... This is just an example...”Hans said faintly, “That thing is even more powerful. It doesn’t need to be skinned. If you’re not careful, you can become your partner and deceive you. So, most of the people who can survive here are lone wolves...”
“Is there a way to tell?”Eggface frowned.
“For now, there’s only one...”Hans looked at the little finger on Eggface’s hand.
Eggface was stunned, and immediately understood what Hans meant. He meant that only normal people could trade, and those monsters couldn’t become human... ...
Thinking of this, she frowned. This test method was terrible. You couldn’t always test it, because every time you tested it, you would lose something...
Thinking of this, Eggface suddenly thought of something else and quickly asked, “How many of those monsters are there?”
Hans said faintly, “I don’t know how many there are, but there must be a lot of them, because I’ve killed at least thirty of them...”
“Is that a lot?”Eggface’s frown deepened. She could more or less guess the reason for her crew’s disappearance, which meant that it was very likely that her current crew was alive, but had been mixed with evil spirits... ...
