Ning Zheng walked on the streets of Fish Wine City, pondering: I wonder what the state of infection is like outside, throughout the entire Sea Race?
Because when the Human Race hybrids are at the low level, they already have intelligence. The upper echelons of the Sea Race have many Sub-human hybrids to have more low-level labor.
"It feels like an outbreak is imminent outside, and we’ve beco an isolated island surrounded by Pseudo-humans... Moreover, it seems likely they will move onto land and begin infecting the Xinyi Continent."
Without stopping, Ning Zheng headed to the third experintal site.
Walking into this huge dical hall, he went up to the second floor and pushed open the sealed laboratory of the dical hall.
"We’ve already conducted the uncanny valley effect tests; they show no reaction to similar-looking counterparts." A blacksmith with a serious expression was holding a black-dyed Spirit Grass.
"I recomnd starting the acidity and alkalinity tests."
"I think we should do an ultrasound first!"
A group of young blacksmiths, clad in white lab coats, were engaged in research.
Don’t ask about their dical skills; just ask whether they look professional in their attire, whether they seem legit.
In the glass cage, there were three weak Iron Wire Three Flowers, curled up like spiders, occasionally trembling with a fearful squeak.
Too scared.
"How’s the experint going over here?" Ning Zheng asked.
"It’s okay."
The dical Fairy was earnestly recording data, dressed like an intellectual beauty professor, adjusting her black-frad glasses:
"We’ve found that they only have parasitic desires for the Human Race and have no parasitic ability on Demon Beasts."
Looking at the dical Fairy, Ning Zheng was a bit speechless.
Weren’t you just over at the blacksmith shop performing data research?
How did you suddenly appear here researching live data again?
Dashing through underground secret passages to visit different sites, pretending to be seriously involved in research to boost NPC favorability – is that really okay?
Ning Zheng couldn’t be bothered with her.
People with a small heart would have died from these silly and outrageous actions.
Ning Zheng simply looked at the cage in front of him, "They have no parasitic desire for Demon Beasts?"
"Yes, please take a look."
She opened a gate and put in a sea fish, but this Three Flower showed no parasitic attack tendency.
"Based on my speculation, they only attack humans."
"That’s why they are called Pseudo-humans, rather than Pseudo-dragons, Pseudo-phoenixes, Pseudo-black tortoises, and so on."
"Humans are the only species born without Spiritual Roots, so they can only parasitize humans who have none."
"Whereas Demon Beasts are born with Spiritual Roots, they are truly Innate Spirit Roots, so they can’t be surpassed, overriding the ’original factory’ Spiritual Roots."
Ning Zheng understood, this guess is most likely correct.
Humans are born as a blank slate, capable of growing various Spiritual Roots... hence they are parasitized by these ’Pseudo-Spiritual Roots.’
Demon Beasts are born with "Spiritual Roots," they can’t be displaced from their original position.
"So, a parasitic plant specifically targeting the Human Race?" Ning Zheng asked.
"You could say that."
The dical Fairy nodded:
"Because humans are unique, favored by Heaven."
"Imagine if the Human Race hadn’t encountered these immoral Pseudo-Spiritual Roots in the past..."
"The history of the Human Race would have taken a different turn, eventually discovering the thod of planting Spiritual Roots in the era of Jiu Shui."
"Beco the overlord of Nine-State, rather than detouring for long years because of the Pseudo-Spiritual Roots usurping their place, now only returning to the right track."
...
Ning Zheng revealed a hint of wistfulness.
History is always so magical; small junctures can bring earth-shattering changes.
The thod of planting Spiritual Roots in the era of Jiu Shui was the right one!
It’s a pity...
Those Pseudo-humans have always suppressed the Human Race’s self-reliance throughout history.
Ning Zheng had so understanding of the Pseudo-humans’ intelligence, thinking briefly, "You can cultivate them, but be cautious."
A group of young blacksmiths cheered.
"Great!"
"Aweso!"
"Our new Spiritual Root cultivation project can now be established."
"Hahaha, our Spirit Field area has previously been filled with immobile Spiritual Roots, neatly arranged in the fields, now it’s better, these Spiritual Roots can run, their fields must be interesting!"
"I’m going to dosticate them, teach them to fertilize and water themselves!"
"You’re a demon."
"No, I am Shennong! Shennong civilizes and dosticates hundreds of herbs, making them beco good herbs... Good herbs fertilize themselves, water themselves, jump on the dining table, and tell them their mission is to be destined for consumption by humans, strive to fatten up, just like chickens and ducks."
"Woo woo woo, you really want to... reverse the Celestial Gang."
"I can already foresee a future where a Pseudo-human version of the Saint of Jiu Shui roars, wanting to overthrow our True Human Dynasty!"
...
Pseudo-humans are actually quite suited for Sword Casting Manor.
Other forces have difficulty raising them, seeing them as threats.
Because each Pseudo-human must cause the death of one to open the Three Flowers.
But in Ning Zheng’s case?
The blacksmiths will revive upon death!
The blacksmiths are not afraid of being parasitized, perfect match with young blacksmiths.
In the eyes of others, it is a deadly poisonous weed.
Here, it’s excellent leeks.
If this thing is well-cultivated, it’s a significant boost for the Manor, even allowing Sword Casting Manor to soar!
Because their Manor was never about traditional forge work, it’s about Spiritual Root forging.
Now, with these Spiritual Roots appearing... won’t it soar thoroughly?
Even Ning Zheng couldn’t help but feel joy, seeing a bright future.
At this mont, Su Yuniang also walked in and said, "Master, we have another new experint awaiting your approval."
"What experint?" Ning Zheng asked.
Su Yuniang replied, "Synthesis experint!"
"As everyone knows, these ’Pseudo-Spiritual Roots’ are genderless, reproducing through asexual reproduction relying on parasitic modes."
"And our Yin Yang Creation Furnace can force any life to reproduce with another life."
She didn’t even need to finish, Ning Zheng already understood her implication.
Pseudo-Spiritual Root ??? = ???
That’s probably the idea echoing in their minds.
And Ning Zheng also beca quite interested.
Pseudo-Spiritual Root is undoubtedly a great embryo.
If it could synthesize so heaven-defying super Pseudo-human, wouldn’t that... endanger all living beings?
Bah.
Can’t think that way, as long as one is careful, benefiting all living beings is not a problem.
Ning Zheng’s heart also started to itch with excitent, "Establish a strictly sealed Pseudo-human synthesis laboratory, only allowed to enter, not to exit!"
"You can only co out through death..."
Ning Zheng imdiately said.
In the distance, young blacksmiths peered over, sneaking looks, grinning and whispering.
"This experint, from the looks of it, is interesting."
"Isn’t it? A slight misstep would be an apocalypse laboratory."
"Aren’t we like so company in the Resident Evil, and then a virus leak causes an apocalypse in the whole world."
"Damn, turns out we’ve reached a branching point in the plot? The apocalypse storyline is indeed in our hands."
"Defying the heavens, who knows what this synthetic Pseudo-human will turn out to be?"
Evidently, the Pseudo-human synthesis project is of imnse significance for the entire Manor, no, for the entire ocean, and even the entire Nine-State.
