340: guess

"What is this?"

Professor Tie was startled by the two masses of energy Gu Qinghan produced, but he quickly sensed a familiar aura from one of them.

"Demonic Power! Such pure Demonic Power?"

He quickly realized that the black energy mass was Demonic Power, then turned to look at the other sacred energy mass, his expression somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, Gu Qinghan immediately explained:

"The Demonic Power was obtained from those Contractors and the demons that descended, while this mass of energy was obtained from Clerics.

I just gave it a name, I call it Sacred Power."

Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, a sharp glint flashed in Professor Tie's eyes.

He looked as if he had seen some rare treasure, examining it for a long time before looking at Gu Qinghan and asking:

"Is it difficult to collect these energies? And you're just giving them to me?"

Gu Qinghan smiled, joking casually:

"It's quite difficult, I have to go to great lengths to find Demon Contractors and Clerics to kill to get some."

"Then I'll take them? No, I still need to save some for Professor Su Huang and the others."

At this moment, Professor Tie was like a child who had received a new toy; his whole demeanor seemed to have become several years younger.

Two slowly rotating vortices appeared in his hands, quickly absorbing most of the two energy masses.

At the same time, he explained to Gu Qinghan:

"You see, this is my talent; I can incorporate these external energies into the equipment I make or use them to strengthen equipment.

If I didn't have such pure Demonic Power provided by you, it would take me a long time to absorb and purify to get just a little.

And then, much of what I get still has to go to Professor Su Huang and the others for research."

Gu Qinghan heard some other meaning in Professor Tie's last words and asked curiously:

"What's wrong with Professor Su Huang and the others? It sounds like you're a bit dissatisfied with him?"

Professor Tie shook his head, saying with a cold laugh:

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with them, it's just that I'm simply dissatisfied with that guy Su Huang.

Those young people are good kids who bury themselves in research, but Su Huang is now only thinking about how to climb higher.

Perhaps the impact of this game was too great, making him want to climb a little higher.

But... alas..."

In the end, this white-haired professor could only sigh repeatedly, clearly not wanting to speak too harshly.

Gu Qinghan nodded; from Su Huang's performance in the cafeteria just now, it was clear that his mind was definitely not entirely focused on research.

But upon entering this building specifically used for research, he didn't see many researchers.

Most of them were one or two people responsible for a small area, and he even saw some people recording something while putting simple food into their mouths.

Chu Tian had also briefly introduced him to the general situation here; researchers rarely went to the cafeteria to eat.

When they occasionally went out, it was either to relax their minds or because they simply couldn't eat the cold food anymore.

They spent most of their time here.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they had always turned a blind eye to Su Huang's negligent behavior.

While Gu Qinghan was observing his surroundings, Professor Tie took out some materials and began making his equipment.

Traces of Demonic Power seeped from his hands, slowly merging with the materials.

The equipment Professor Tie was making seemed to be a gauntlet, and its outline was constantly taking shape.

But soon, the black and red patterns on the equipment began to tremble, quickly turning the equipment into fragments.

Professor Tie, however, was not at all discouraged; instead, he laughed heartily and said to Gu Qinghan:

"I was a bit too excited. The Demonic Power you provided is too pure, so the dosage needs to be adjusted.

Moreover, I can feel that when infusing Demonic Power into it, the sensation is much smoother than before.

I'm confident that the success rate will be much higher now!"

His eyes gleaming, he took out another piece of equipment and then began crafting again.

One, two, three... until the fifth one, the black and red light suddenly converged, and a black and red gauntlet appeared in his hand.

"Indeed!"

Professor Tie held the equipment in his hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He instinctively handed the equipment to Gu Qinghan but quickly realized that Gu Qinghan couldn't use it, so he passed it to Chu Tian.

"Quick, try it! The side effects of this equipment might be much smaller!"

Chu Tian, hearing this, equipped the gauntlet and checked its attributes:

【Control Bracer (Silver): Level 25】

【Combat Power Increase: 2500】

【Effect: Control and strengthen a unit that has lost the ability to resist. The strengthened combat power cannot exceed 2500 points and lasts for a maximum of 10 minutes.】

Gu Qinghan also saw the equipment's attributes; it was clearly a weakened version of the demonic control ability!

However, this was something Professor Tie had made in a short time just now.

Chu Tian thought for a moment and took out the corpse of the mutated rabbit with scales that he had shown Gu Qinghan earlier.

He tried to activate the equipment's power, and a few seconds later, the rabbit's corpse slowly stood up.

Chu Tian controlled the rabbit with a slight frown, moving it around in front of the three of them, continuing for about three minutes before giving up.

"I should be able to last at least five minutes, but that would probably result in a considerable backlash.

But indeed, this time the feeling is much better than before; it's just that equipment made with Demonic Power seems to be hostile towards us..."

There was obvious regret in Chu Tian's tone, but also a hint of detectable joy.

Clearly, although there were still side effects, it was much stronger than before.

At a critical moment, having such a counter-attack method might change the course of the battle!

But when Gu Qinghan heard Chu Tian's words, he suddenly realized a problem.

Hostility.

Through the Guardian, he knew the story of the gods scheming against the Death God and the Demon God. The Death God forcibly joined the game, while the Demon God could only join as a villain.

In this way, it was very reasonable for Demonic Power to be hostile towards Professionals and even Clerics.

But his own power did not come from the gods, but from the Death God.

What would happen if he integrated Demonic Power into bone equipment?

The Demon God and the Death God had fought, but both were schemed against.

There was a good chance that the Demon God's power would be close to him, without those side effects.

After all, the two Necromancers who had previously signed contracts with demons were clearly different from other Contractors.

But there was also another possibility: that the Demon God was very petty, and Demonic Power would directly destroy the bone equipment.

At that time, Gu Qinghan would truly have nowhere to cry for justice.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Qinghan didn't dare to try, as he currently only had two pieces of bone equipment.

When he had more bone equipment in the future, he even wanted to integrate Demonic Power into it to see what would happen.

"Professor Tie, you continue your research. I'll take him to get the Mutated Creature corpses first."

After greeting Professor Tie, Chu Tian led Gu Qinghan to a tightly closed door.

The door opened, revealing at least dozens of Mutated Creatures piled inside.

And on the bodies of these Mutated Creatures, there were scales of varying shapes.

Among them were the mutated rabbits Gu Qinghan had seen before, and even a pitch-black creature the size of a small dog.

"What is this?"

"Mutated ants..."
