"I'm leaving."

To be honest, Lao Zheng's first reaction when he heard this sentence was:, Director Yan is leaving, and he actually said hello to me, which is really face-saving!

This is the habit of being a song of words and lyrics suddenly disappeared and the whole PTSD was released.

The next moment he reacted, and said in surprise: "Tomorrow? So fast? ”

I think you're building a villa and a manor, and you think you're going to live here permanently.

So, you're still here to show off your wealth, aren't you? Right?

"Hmm." Yan Luge didn't think he had much extravagance and waste, and building a palace when he walked to a place was just the basic operation of the local tyrant, "So, before I go, I plan to talk to you."

"Let's talk about the ownership of the Northwest Wasteland."

Zheng Qingming's spirit was shocked, and all the tiredness, all the slackness, and all the jokes in recent days were swept away with this sentence.

The question of the ownership of the Northwest Wasteland, or rather, the question of the ownership of this aura escape point.

Among the few known places with rich spiritual power reserves, the Cold Leaf Forest undoubtedly belongs to the Blackstone Research Institute and is currently being exploited intensively; Although the subspace on the side of the Xize Empire is also great, the cost of space jumping is very high, and the cost performance of mining is too low; The rest is the Northwest Wasteland here.

It can be said that for the Blackstone Research Institute, which is in urgent need of mass production of spiritual power potions, this place is very important, and it can be called strategically important.

But the embarrassing thing is ...... The Northwest Wasteland is within the territory of Tianzhou, a sovereign state with nuclear weapons.

It is not in Yanluge's private territory, and the Tianzhou No. 101 Command Division also knows about its existence, which makes it impossible for Yanluge to hide it like hiding the Cold Leaf Forest, and it is difficult to get it into his pocket through legitimate and improper means such as buying, robbing, and cheating.

Although the Blackstone Research Institute is very powerful, Tianzhou's fist is also quite large, so it is unnecessary and cost-effective to fight for this.

Then let's negotiate.

Yan Luge looked at Zheng Qingming calmly: "Before negotiating, I want to confirm one thing.

"Zheng Qingming, have you and Ling's No. 101 Command Division discovered an anomaly in the Northwest Wasteland?"

"Yes." Zheng Qingming said without hesitation, "We found that the animals and plants in the Northwest Wasteland have more or less undergone some mutations, some have grown strange organs, and some have gained magical abilities.

"But these variants, unlike pollutants, are benign and don't spread. According to our observation and judgment, all of them have become 'transcendent beings'', just like our 'transcendents'.

"Such a benign mutation, if not accidental, is caused by spiritual power potions...... In other words, it is triggered by a power similar to that of a spiritual elixir. ”

This is the conclusion reached by the nearly reorganized research team of the 101st Command Division after three days of sleepless work.

Yan Luge nodded, his expression was not surprised—it seemed that he had already known—and he also agreed with Zheng Qingming's conclusion: "You guessed right, the power that changes them is spiritual power, the spiritual power of spiritual power potions. ”

The conjecture was agreed, and Zheng Qingming's expression did not relax, but became more and more solemn: "So, the arrival of the gods will not only bring pollution, but also spiritual power?" ”

"Cause and effect are reversed." The coldness in Yan Luge's eyes flashed away, but it was not aimed at Lao Zheng, "Because our world has spiritual power, so the gods will come." Their purpose is to take the source of spiritual power, and the land they go to will only bring pollution. ”

In the newbie gift packages that Yanlu Ge had previously sent to various transcendent organizations, although he mentioned the threat of gods and pollutants, he did not explain some things related to their purpose and the origin of spiritual power, so he now had to give Lao Zheng a make-up lesson on the spot.

"I see. Gods and transcendents are natural enemies. Zheng Qingming sighed.

Yan Luge held his head with one hand and looked at Zheng Qingming: "What else have you discovered?" Keep talking? ”

"Discover ......" Zheng Qingming wanted to speak and stopped.

Previously, Yan Luge also said that he wanted to "talk about the ownership of the Northwest Wasteland", but now he kept asking about their research results, which made Zheng Qingming always feel that the other party was talking and asking about their hole cards......

But as soon as this idea came out, it was denied by Zheng Qingming himself.

Their so-called research results should be just common sense for a truly established transcendent organization.

Ritsuge is a person who guides them into the transcendent world openly and secretly, and will come thousands of miles to save them.

No matter how confidential the research results are, there is nothing that cannot be said in front of the transcendent predecessors who are full of goodwill - if you are honest, you can still show your scientific research ability, and you will only laugh and be generous if you cover it.

Zheng Qingming's eyes flashed with determination.

He decided to believe in the Song of Words.

So Zheng Qingming continued: "We also did some experiments.

"For example, ordinary laboratory animals and even human volunteers were allowed to eat mutated sea buckthorn fruits."

Yan Luge showed a subtle smile: "What about the results of the experiment?" ”

"Experimental animals and human volunteers who have eaten enough sea buckthorn fruits have all had abnormalities similar to those injected with spiritual powers." Zheng Qingming observed Yan Luge's reaction and said slowly, "They have randomly awakened their extraordinary abilities and become 'transcendent creatures' or 'transcendents'. ”

"It's normal - as long as the spiritual power ingested is up to the standard, you can achieve transcendence." Yan Luge continued to smile, "Have you ever tried to let lab animals and volunteers eat sea buckthorn branches?" ”

"Yes." Zheng Qingming said, "We set up three human experimental groups, and each of the three volunteers ate the fruits, branches and roots of the same mutant sea buckthorn plant, but only the human volunteers who ate the sea buckthorn fruit showed signs of transcendence, and the human volunteers who ate the same quality of sea buckthorn branches and roots did not react."

"But...... In animal experiments, the experimental rabbits all showed transcendence after eating fruits, paper strips, and roots. ”

"Well, what do you think of this phenomenon?"

"Two possibilities." Zheng Qingming said, "Either the human volunteers do not eat enough branches and roots, or the spiritual content in the branches and roots is relatively small, and they do not meet the standards of human transcendence." ”

Yan Luge did not hesitate to point out Zheng Qingming's mistake: "The first guess is right, and the second is wrong. There is basically no difference in the spiritual power content contained in the same plant, the same quality of fruits, branches and roots, but you can't detect it. ”

Zheng Qingming was very modest: "Please advise the director." ”

Yan Lu Ge tapped his fingers on the stone table: "This question has to be explained to you from the nature of spiritual power.

"'Spiritual power' is a very strange power, which is only attached to objects that have a 'will' - as for why it is 'will' and not 'life' will will be discussed later—in short, it may be attached to humans, animals, plants, bacteria, and other living beings, but it is definitely not attached to stones, water, or air without a 'will'.

"When a transcendent creature dies, the spiritual power attached to it will dissipate within a certain period of time, and it will re-transform into a colorless and formless aura and drift away until it finds the next 'will' to which it can cling. This 'certain time' is about the time from death to the loss of activity of the cells of the organism, which will be very fast for animals and slow for plants.

"Before the spiritual power dissipates, the transfer of spiritual power is also controllable. The easiest way to transfer is to let another person eat and digest and absorb the previous transcendent creature, so that most of the dissipated spiritual power will naturally attach to the person who eats it.

"Notice what I just said – digestion and absorption.

"If you can't digest and absorb it, then the spiritual power won't be transferred.

"So, the reason for the deviation of your three sets of experiments is very simple."

Yan Luge spread his hands and said in a tone full of smiles: "Because the gastrointestinal function of human beings is not good!" Human beings can only digest and absorb the spiritual power in the sea buckthorn fruit, and they can't digest the plant fibers of the sea buckthorn branches and roots, so they can't absorb the spiritual power inside.

"And the experimental rabbits next door are all extraordinary, because they have good gastrointestinal function and can digest and absorb plant fibers and the spiritual power in them."
