151 - This is cooperation

Rama receives an invitation from Diluc.

After accepting the invitation, his expression relaxed slightly.

"Sure enough, Qin hasn't sent anyone to question me until now, but he was stopped by this pair of Ice and Fire brothers."

He rubbed his eyebrows, there was nothing left to worry about.

In theory, Jean is the true master of Mondstadt right now, but the Fire and Ice brothers are more than capable of overthrowing it.

It's not because of Qin's temperament, but they really have the strength.

After all, the Knights of Favonius have fallen.

At this time, Diluc and Kaeya chose to suppress the matter, which is itself a cooperative attitude.

However, I have not personally touched it, and the real answer is not easy to say.

Now the invitation from the brothers almost put the matter on hold.

"If you solve the official problem, you can even get support from them, and it doesn't matter if the technology is exposed."

"After all, the cooperation with Albedo has almost exposed this part of the technology."

"But my current technology is not a finished product, and the semi-finished products are not enough, so if I can introduce other people to this track, it will be a good thing for me."

The more people are involved in this race of skills, the greater the benefits for Rama.

"It's a pity," Rama shook his head, "and while my skills may not be of much help to Albedo, the techniques he has are valuable to my research. ”

"It's really uncomfortable not to be able to exchange for something more precious."

Rheindott's research is biased towards the direct creation of transcendent lifeforms.

Rama's research is to transform ordinary people into transcendent beings by extracting the qualities of transcendent beings.

Rama is not an "ordinary person" in the meaning of his research, he has the Vision of God, and the addition of the system allows him, like most monsters, to actively manipulate the elemental power without relying on the Vision of God.

But compared to higher-level lifeforms, or to put it bluntly, demon gods, Rama is an ordinary person.

Making the transcendent and becoming transcendent, Rama didn't know which one was more difficult, but he naturally preferred to have power for himself.

Reindott created the poisonous dragon Dvalin, who fought Dvalin in the war five hundred years ago, forcing Dvalin to sleep.

If Dvalin is really the Wind Dragon, one of the Seven Dragon Kings in the plot line, then Dorin's record is actually quite good.

Reindot's achievements are shown in the plot in the manufacture of foreign objects, and her own strength is not described in more detail.

And the [Harlequin] Piero, who is slightly inferior to Rheindot, and the [Doctor] under the Harlequin, these people are all strangely powerful.

Their beginnings are indeed mortals, and in the records of the plot, they also have the power of the Demon God rank in the end.

Although there are also levels within the Demon God, Heulia, the God of Salt, or Morax, the God of Rock, the Demon God is the Demon God, and they have indeed ascended to the Demon God rank from the power of mortals.

This achievement is enough to call it a miracle.

Rama was curious about this miracle and wanted to replicate it.

Sadly, he has not yet been given this opportunity.

This kind of miracle should be difficult to reproduce, after all, inside the Fatui, except for the girl who is backed by the [Fairy] race, although I don't know much, most of Teyvat's lives are obviously stronger than humans, and the first three seats are all from the mortal step.

The other executives, starting from the fourth seat, were obviously one notch behind them.

If this kind of research is an experiment that can be tried to popularize, Sora will face the Fatui ProMax Enhanced, which will really be beaten to death.

"Mr. Rama, I have an alchemical problem."

The girl reached out and grabbed the door frame and looked into the room with some shyness.

Pale cyan hair, canine ears.

The girl's big amber eyes were open, and her free hand pushed the frame.

"Come in, I'm not busy anymore." Rama beckoned, "What, what plant are you working on again?" ”

His smile was quite compatible, relieving the habitual tension in the girl's heart.

But when it comes to alchemy, she doesn't have any nervousness at all.

"It won't be another sweet flower, right?" Rama quipped, "If you continue to research, the sugar industry in Mondstadt will change your surname to Sucrose." ”

The study of alchemy is nothing more than an inquiry into the nature of the world, as well as the creation of new life.

The study of Sucrose is biased towards the latter, and it can be regarded as a branch of the latter, [Biological Alchemy] - transforming existing lives through alchemy to strengthen a certain characteristic of the other party.

For example, sugar is often on the lips of the [four times larger seeds sweet flowers].

Her research on Sweet Flowers is not just about increasing the nectar production of Sweet Flowers, as in the backstory the girl has expanded her cultivation program to nearly 300 species.

These cultivation programs have brought her three walls of biological experiment records, and the products include: some flowers are three times larger, some flowers are five or six times larger and can fly with the wind, and some can even bear sweet and delicious fruits... and other directions.

In a way, Sucrose and Rama are peers.

It's just that the study of sugar is more inclined to the transformation of plants, and Rama's research object has always been human.

Because he wanted the results of these experiments to be applied to himself in the end.

Sucrose was unaware of Rama's research, but she was able to get information about Rama from Albedo.

In terms of biological alchemy, Albedo thought about it for a while and then entrusted his assistant to Rama.

Theoretically, Rama and Sucrose are just peers, but the actual research directions of the two sides are completely different, and Rama is not qualified to serve as Sucrose's temporary mentor.

But the skill growth that comes with the system is almost a complete experience, Rama specializes in human body refining, but he also has experience in the study of plants or other non-human life.

Being a mentor is still a little bit worse, and joining the research with Sucrose is not too much of a problem.

Aside from the idea of digging up sugar, another reason Rama didn't resist research was that he needed the results of biological alchemy.

"It's not a sweet flower." The girl shook her head, "It's the kind of special plant that you asked me to study last time that can alleviate special toxins, and I've cultivated it." ”

Special Toxin - Refers to a special toxin that can make people have a tendency to turn into a deceptive flower.

Special plants - there are no names yet, but in the way of naming sugar, it is probably a basic plant, and then prefix it with something like four times the size of the seed and three times the number of flowers.

She probably doesn't think it's a new species, but rather a hidden part of the plant's genes that makes the world a richer place.

Well, this statement is not wrong, just follow her naming habits.

"Speaking of which, I've never seen such a strange illness." Sucrose's ears drooped, "It can actually make humans produce signs similar to those of the deception flower, if it weren't for the detailed information you provided, I don't know how long it would take to cultivate the [multi-feathered dandelion] that relieves the toxin." ”

If the toxin is found on a particular plant, even if it is very dangerous, Sucrose will study it with curiosity.

But Sucrose's research is based on the fact that the toxin has already endangered the lives of some people, and she has no mind to study the miracle of the plant containing the toxin, nor does she have time to study the development direction of plant variants, but to find a way to create a subspecies of a certain plant that has a chance to neutralize and alleviate the toxin.

This work is relatively cumbersome, but it is indeed in line with the research direction of sugar.

In addition, Rama and Albedo also provided considerable experimental data.

"It's good to have results." Rama smiled gently, "So, what about your problem?" ”

Sucrose's research is counted in the ranks of helping, and Rama and her are in a relationship of studying alchemy with each other, and he can entrust Sucrose to help, but helping can never be in vain.

Even if Rama knew very well that even if the truth of this matter was exposed, as long as Sucrose saw the appearance of these unlucky eggs, she would still help to study it.

At most, he gritted his teeth and was very angry to help with the research, and the result would not change.

But that's not necessary.

Helping, repaying favors, it's all normal.

It is precisely because they are friends, and they are very valuable friends, that they need to settle everything.

"I want to meet the plant that produces special toxins." Sucrose's eyes sparkled, "Actually, I was already curious before, this kind of power that can easily change the species of living beings······"

Bio-alchemy does not only include plants, but sugar rarely involves research outside of plants.

And these "patients" provided by Rama, they are eroded by a toxin produced by a certain plant in nature, and then the influence changes their identity.

Sucrose was curious.

But she did not doubt Rama's words, such as whether such a plant really existed.

Further up in Teyvat there is the Demon God, perhaps the remnants of the Demon God's power have infected some plant or some kind of creature, but its existence is justified.

Rama's face remained unchanged, "Unfortunately, I would love to find such a plant as well. ”

"But for now, although we call the substance that causes this irreversible [deception flower] toxin, in fact, these people's physical state is quite stable, and there is no abnormality."

Sucrose pushed his eyes, "Except for the irreversible move towards the [Deception Flower] in terms of physical signs." ”

From a human being to a monster, Sucrose is also willing to accept Rama's definition to some extent, which is a special kind of infection.

They describe it as poisoning, but it is not necessarily a specific toxin.

From another point of view, such as strength, such as longevity, these people can also be described as evolutionary.

The Deception Flower is not a very high-level monster, but the assimilation of the characteristics of the [Deception Flower] by these human bodies can indeed be regarded as evolution.

Because they have lost their human appearance because of this, the rest is gained.

Relatively strong power, longer life······ Moreover, this kind of mutation will not completely make them lose the space to live in human society.

It is true that there are other humanoid beings in this world.

Like Klee, like Sucrose, like Diona.

Most of the samples provided by Rama for Sucrose were only mildly mutated, with physical signs that were biased towards fire and deception, but by anyone's point of view, they could still be classified as a subspecies of humans, the kind that could live in the human world.

Because what was not lost was enough, and what was gained was quite obvious, so Rama's statement Sucrose did not refute it.

She was an alchemist, and the truth of alchemy was always so clear.

Gain and loss, gain is higher than loss, this is a kind of evolution.

As for the original intention of the parties······ Sucrose hadn't touched these unlucky or lucky people at all, she only had data in her hands.

Cultivating alchemy materials for practical application through theoretical data is a talent that makes Rama extremely excited.

Sucrose was not out of the way to pry it away, and Albedo was obviously aware of it, but he still chose to arrange for Rama to teach Sucrose.

Clearly, Albedo also had some curiosity about such research.

"Huh? Haven't you even found the source of infection? Sucrose frowned slightly, "Judging from the data you gave me, it seems that there are quite a few poor people infected by the virus." ”

"If there is no way to find the source of infection, maybe more innocent people will be infected."

"Don't worry." Rama smiled and reassured, "Although the problem of the source of infection may not be solved for the time being, with the alchemy materials you provided by Sucrose, I can completely reverse research the alchemy potion that suppresses assimilation." ”

The signs inevitably move closer to the deception flower, which is a small drawback of the alchemy potion.

Rama doesn't care if a small flower will grow on his head, his expected goal is the demon god, Rama really doesn't believe it, the demon god is a humanoid life.

Postures like Oser and Orobus may be the true appearance of the Demon God.

As for the seven gods, who are biased towards humans, they are probably all incarnations.

Rama's own goal is the Seven Gods and even higher, and it doesn't matter if he loses his human form.

But before he can do that, he needs to make his research available to as many people as possible.

First, they need their data, and they become stronger, so that they can support the next step of more in-depth research.

Second, Rama also needed to produce something for Sumeru and for Mondstadt that they would be willing to accept.

It's collaboration.

Rama exchanged his results for resources, Mora and experimental materials in Mondstadt, and Nahida's favor in Sumeru.

Between Rama himself and more ordinary people, between these two options, emotionally Rama also believes that Nahida will choose herself many times, but in fact it is not easy to say.

Rama wasn't curious about the truth, and he would never really put Nahida through such a test.

Do something simpler, always make yourself more valuable than most, so that the gods who love others will always support you.

Let the people of Sumeru become strong, and the final fruits of victory will inevitably fall into the hands of Rama, and he has no reason to refuse.
