19: Chapter 19: Ignoring the Laws to Extract Two Silver Attributes
Cloud Peak Club, Class A private room.
After Lin Yuan left, Chu Yunxuan remained seated at the tea table.
He took out a new cup and poured himself a cup of tea.
The android butler stepped forward and bowed slightly.
"Young Master, the family's [Armory] has opened a high-tier credit line of one billion faith points for you, with a very low annual interest rate. These resources can be utilized at any time."
One billion.
This sum was enough to buy the lives of hundreds of ordinary civilian gods on the black market, or purchase a small resource plane.
But to Chu Yunxuan, it was just a string of cold, emotionless numbers.
He picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Withdraw it all."
The butler paused for a moment before inputting the command.
"Spend two hundred million to purchase an [Abyssal Royal Heart] from the Seventh Military District on the front lines."
"Regardless of the channel, even if there is a twenty percent premium, you must secure it for me. Once obtained, deposit it directly into my core Incubation Pool."
Chu Yunxuan set down his teacup and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
"Use the remaining eight hundred million to equip my believers with standard-issue Silver-grade gear."
"I want to secure a 'Special Sequence' spot in next month's military district exam. Whoever dares to stand in my way will be crushed."
"Yes, Young Master." The butler acknowledged the order and withdrew.
Chu Yunxuan turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling holographic window.
Clouds churned, and below lay the crowded Jiang City.
"Lin Yuan, I hope you can survive until the military district exam. Don't disappoint me."
...
Jiang City's Seventh Outer Slum District.
Lin Yuan pushed open the iron door of the old apartment.
A thunderous snoring sound came from the living room; Old Lin was already drunk and fast asleep on the sofa.
The holographic TV was still tuned to the channel broadcasting the Abyssal war situation.
Lin Yuan walked over quietly and covered Old Lin with a blanket.
Then he turned off the TV and returned to his bedroom.
He locked the door and drew the curtains.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, opened the deity terminal on his wrist, and logged into the Pantheon Trading Network.
Three hundred thousand faith points.
Looking at the long string of zeros in his account, Lin Yuan felt great.
But money, in the world of gods, is never enough.
He clicked on the details of the [Bronze-Grade Barracks Architectural Blueprint] to check the required prerequisite materials.
[Required Materials: Dark Iron Deposit × 100 units, Obsidian Essence × 50 units, Lower Blood-Vein Wood × 20 units, Energy Gathering Array Core × 1]
Lin Yuan searched on the trading network.
The prices were outrageously high.
Three minutes later, Lin Yuan completed the purchase.
The three hundred thousand faith points in his account evaporated in the blink of an eye, losing eighty thousand.
"I haven't even bought equipment yet, and just laying the foundation burned through eighty thousand. No wonder the Military Representative told me not to build an all-rounder combat team."
Lin Yuan's mouth twitched.
The fault tolerance for civilian gods is too low; one wrong step means total ruin.
The purchased materials arrived.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, and his consciousness sank.
Crossing the sea of stars, he descended into the Wasteland.
In the basin below, a thousand Obsidian Goblins were resting around the Abyssal Carrion Tree.
The Tyrant sat closest to the blood pool, eyes closed in rest.
Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air and flipped his wrist.
That [Broodmother Organ], exuding a foul stench and potent vitality, appeared in his palm.
The remains of a Gold-grade Abyssal creature.
As its blood vessels pulsed, the surrounding toxic mist was forcibly pulled and absorbed into it.
Lin Yuan did not rush to throw it down.
He stared at the organ, lost in thought.
The Abyssal Carrion Tree is essentially a plant-type flesh-consuming unit.
The Broodmother Organ is an insect-type flesh-consuming unit.
The Wasteland's ecosystem is fragile, and the soil is barren.
If this organ were planted directly in the basin, what would happen?
Two tigers cannot share one mountain.
They certainly wouldn't coexist peacefully; they would only compete for underground nutrients and surrounding flesh resources.
With the Abyssal Carrion Tree's home-field advantage at its current thirty-meter size, it would highly likely treat this Broodmother Organ as high-grade fertilizer, using its roots to crush and drain it dry.
Even if it weren't drained dry, with two cores fighting for food, the final result would be that both would be underdeveloped.
Lin Yuan was no fool; he would not tolerate internal strife within his territory.
"Since they cannot coexist, then simply merge them."
Lin Yuan raised his hand, aiming his palm at the Broodmother Organ in his hand.
"Extraction."
Dark golden light erupted from Lin Yuan's consciousness, transforming into a dozen chains that pierced into the Broodmother Organ.
The organ struggled violently, emitting a piercing shriek similar to a baby's cry.
The instinctive laws remaining from the Gold-grade creature were resisting.
But in the face of the absolute rules of his SSS-grade talent [Creation Extraction], such resistance was meaningless.
The dark golden chains tightened.
Squelch.
The mass of flesh dissolved and disintegrated.
Flesh collapsed, and concepts were stripped away.
Finally, two glowing silver orbs of affixes floated before Lin Yuan.
[Notification: Rule-defying extraction successful!]
[You have obtained the Silver-grade concept affix: Endless Womb.]
[Affix Effect: Grants the target building/plant extremely strong reproductive characteristics. After consuming flesh, it can rapidly condense biological meat cocoons rich in high energy and trace experience points.]
[You have obtained the Silver-grade concept affix: Genetic Plunder.]
[Affix Effect: Grants the target building/plant. When consuming high-tier creature corpses, there is a 10% chance to intercept one of the target's advantageous genetic fragments and feedback it into the produced fruits/meat cocoons.]
Lin Yuan looked at these two attributes, his breathing hitching slightly.
Top-tier.
That Military Representative was right; the Broodmother's greatest value is mass-producing soldiers.
But feeding it directly carries the risk of triggering malignant mutations.
Now, after extraction and stripping, the manic consciousness pollution of the Abyssal Broodmother has been removed, leaving only the purest functional mechanism.
Lin Yuan looked down at the Abyssal Carrion Tree below.
"Go."
He flicked his finger.
Two silver lights transformed into meteors and merged into the main trunk of the Abyssal Carrion Tree.
The modification began.
The entire basin shook violently.
The Abyssal Carrion Tree emitted the creaking sound of bones stretching.
The bark, originally covered in muscle textures, began to crack extensively.
Thick, dark red vines hung down from the branches.
At the ends of the vines, translucent meat sacs rapidly swelled.
One could faintly see scarlet liquid flowing inside.
This was [Endless Womb].
The tree's height didn't continue to grow, but its trunk thickened by a full factor, and its roots dug deeper, piercing through the rock layer.
It had effectively transformed into an extremely hideous biological armory.
Now, everything was ready; only food and fodder were lacking.
Lin Yuan opened his terminal.
The reward for first place in the practical training assessment included not only blueprints and money.
The military had also converted the data of the monsters he killed in the virtual matrix into equivalent real, low-tier Abyssal resources and sent them over as well.
[Resource Package Opened: Black Iron-grade monster corpses × 5000. Bronze-grade monster corpses × 5.]
Lin Yuan moved his mind.
The space above his Divine Domain tore open.
Rumble!
Countless severed limbs, demon wolf corpses, and troll meat chunks poured down from the sky.
They all smashed onto the open ground around the Abyssal Carrion Tree, piling up into small mountains.
The Obsidian Goblins in the basin let out excited hisses, but without Lin Yuan's order, they dared not step forward to scramble for food.
The Abyssal Carrion Tree was even crazier.
Countless roots burst through the ground, like innumerable greedy giant pythons, ferociously stabbing into the mountains of corpses.
The sound of large gulps echoed within the Divine Domain.
The corpse mountains shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A large amount of blood energy was transported up along the trunk.
The hundreds of meat sacs hanging in mid-air began to pulse rhythmically, continuously expanding.
From the size of a fist, they grew to the thickness of a water vat.
Complex blood-colored patterns emerged on the surface of the meat sacs.
[Notification: Genetic Plunder triggered! Successfully intercepted Abyssal Troll bone reinforcement gene!]
[Notification: Womb incubation accelerating...]
Lin Yuan did not stop his actions.
He retrieved the materials he had just purchased from the terminal, along with the Bronze-grade Barracks blueprint, and threw them all toward the open space on the right side of the blood pool.
"Build."
The blueprint transformed into a dazzling bronze light, enveloping all the materials.
As the earth shook and mountains swayed, the Dark Iron deposits melted and reshaped, and the Obsidian Essence rose from the ground.
A gigantic, rugged barracks covering several thousand square meters, pitch-black all over and exuding an aura of iron-blooded slaughter, settled firmly onto the Wasteland.
The barracks gate consisted of two crossed pieces of Blood-Vein Wood, exuding an ancient and vast aura.
[Building Name: Black Blood Drill Ground]
[Grade: Bronze-grade]
[Function 1: Standard Equipment (Followers entering the barracks can condense a layer of Bronze-grade bone heavy armor, increasing defense by 50%).]
[Function 2: Blood-Bathed Regeneration (Followers in this area have their physical injury recovery speed increased by 300%).]
[Function 3: Life-and-Death Trial (Followers engage in indiscriminate slaughter within the arena; survivors have a high probability of breaking through their current grade bottleneck).]
[Function 4: Combat Skill Resonance (Units above Bronze-grade training here have a probability of causing lower-grade kin to comprehend basic combat skills).]
