New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 306 [Frog Seedling] and [Chicken Seller King]

After Yuan Zhu drove Nie Yin to [Rain Academy], they arrived at the teaching building of [Frog School] under the guidance of Frog Girl. Then, Yuan Zhu took out the "Aquaculture Permit" that he had prepared in advance, found the relevant person in charge, and obtained the first batch of 'experimental grade' frog seedlings from the laboratory of [Frog School].

The negotiation was handled by Nie Yin, who was not good with words, while Yuan Zhu followed behind the young lady the whole time, responsible for cheering her on, looking around, and observing.

Although Nie Yin's social skills are practically nonexistent, it is, after all, his home turf where he has lived, studied, and worked for many years. He sees the people in charge all the time and knows them very well.

After learning that Nie Yin, who was always ostracized in the college, had few friends, behaved strangely and eccentrically, and liked to secretly hide in the laboratory to torture little frogs, had finally found a lousy job as a "frog farm technician".

Everyone sighed, realizing it was indeed the level of difficulty she was meant to be matched with. Finally, graduation and internship time. Who knew which blind boss had chosen such an oddball?

After a series of certification procedures were successfully completed, the blind shop owner, Yuan Zhu, finally received his first large bucket of froglets. If the breeding goes well, he probably won't come back to buy a second bucket.

Peeking inside, I saw a dense swarm of black tadpoles floating in the blue cylindrical container. They had just grown hind legs, their forelegs yet to develop. They were quite large, larger than a fingernail, and looked dark and slimy. Their mouths were clearly visible, with tiny, sharp teeth—completely different from Earth tadpoles! Ugly and sinister.

They were packed tightly together in the entire bucket, wriggling and twisting uncomfortably. After weighing them, the person in charge continued to pour water into the bucket. Finally, they tossed a fist-sized, effervescent tablet-like object into the bucket.

This substance reacts violently as soon as it comes into contact with water, producing a large number of bubbles.

The person in charge, equally experienced, immediately locked the lid shut. Then he gestured to Yuan Zhu that he could take the bucket of frog larvae, worth 1000 yuan.

He lifted the round barrel, which wasn't large in size but was quite heavy. Even through the thick walls and lid, he could sense the violent bubbling chemical reaction inside, and even the edge of the locked lid was making a hissing sound as it bubbled and released gas.

After leaving the lab and entering a quiet corridor, Yuan Zhu nudged Nie Yin with his free arm and asked, "Hey, what just happened? What was that bubbling thing that you threw into the bucket? Could this bucket of froglets be killed by the high pressure inside?"

Nie Yin replied, "That's an oxygenation tool, which also integrates some bactericides and stimulants. When it comes into contact with water, it reacts to release oxygen, inhibit any pollution that may be present in the water, and slowly release the drugs and stimulants to stimulate the potential of the 'seedlings' and improve their survival rate. It will not only not kill the seedlings, but it can also save some of the fragile ones that are on the verge of death."

Yuan Zhu looked at the lone, fully enclosed barrel and was dissatisfied with the trip. He drove such a big truck to buy goods, and all he got to go back with was this one barrel? Didn't that make him look stupid?

"Are we only taking this one bucket back with us this time?"

Nie Yin: "Of course not. I also need an experimental table and an operating table. In addition, since you plan to intercept a batch of [experimental frogs] to conduct private experiments and extract [tempering fluid raw materials], then we also need to prepare the corresponding experimental equipment, as well as a larger [Deity of Fate] statue, in order to carry out the 'Frog God Ritual'."

Under Nie Yin's command, Yuan Zhu ran all over the Frog School, spending two hours in total, and bought a large amount of feed rations with added special medicinal herbs, a total of 40 sacks.

Then there were several experimental and surgical tables, a large amount of equipment, a small amount of experimental reagents... Finally, there was a 2-meter-tall bronze statue of a headless, skinned frog.

And a full 10 large trash cans, plus free [biological experimental waste (frog carcasses contaminated with bacteria)].

Originally, Yuan Zhu wasn't qualified to take away this 'dangerous biological waste'. However, he had purchased so much equipment from the Frog School, and with Nie Yin's influence, the teacher in charge of cleaning up experimental waste included these 10 buckets of headless frog carcasses as a bonus, loading them onto the truck.

"We've made a profit!"

After getting back on the bus, some of the candlesticks, influenced by Nie Yin, jumped for joy at the thought of getting '10 buckets of experimental biochemical waste' for free!
Nie Yin, who was also present, nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes!"

Each of these 10 buckets of garbage, after undergoing the "Frog God Ritual," had its flesh and blood tainted with a small amount of unusable 'frog-type pollution.' This is extremely dangerous for ordinary people.

However, Nie Yin and Zhu Zi believe that the frogs' skin has huge potential for exploitation, while the latter values ​​the slightly contaminated flesh and blood, which is tender, nutritious (and contaminated), and extremely low in danger!

This is a perfect match for their expertise, making it ideal for nourishing the [frog-type cultivators]!

Yuan Zhu said regretfully, "It's a pity that the academy is unwilling to supply it long-term, otherwise I would be willing to pay to dispose of these experimental wastes for the Frog School."

Nie Yin: "These dead frogs will be bought up by the martial arts school at a high price. In the future, we (the Frog Factory) will be able to produce these things stably."

Yuan Zhu nodded: "I can't wait to give birth as soon as possible!"

Feeling increasingly strapped for cash, Candle developed a strong craving for the cheap byproduct, the 'frog carcass'. The reason was simple: his own 'orcs and goblins' were simply too voracious!
...

After transporting Nie Yin and a truckload of supplies to the suburban Frog Farm, Yuan Zhu didn't linger. He abandoned the truck and Nie Yin at Farm No. 1, instructing Frog Girl to find workers to move the equipment, supplies, and frog fry to Farm No. 1, and then begin the breeding work.

As for himself, he switched back to his sports car, took a bucket of 'experimental waste' he had obtained for free, and returned to Running City, heading straight for the [haunted house].

The interior of the haunted house has now been gradually emptied by Yuan Zhu. Valuable materials, including the modified eggplant embryo, have all been sent to the Mountain Lord's Cave in the Misty Mountains.

Now, inside the empty haunted house, only the two siblings temporarily staying there, four eggplant-headed ghost security guards, five hybrid beastmen warriors, a group of various goblin test subjects undergoing modification, and 45 newly conceived eggplant spirits. When Yuan Zhu entered the living room, he saw the little sister and brother holding a long-cold fried chicken set meal, their faces filled with happiness, gratitude, and enjoyment... savoring it deliciously.

"Huh?! Xiao Tang, why haven't you finished eating yet? This stuff won't taste good once it gets cold."

Yuan Zhu clearly remembered that Nie Yin had bought this fried chicken meal specifically for her and her brother when he went out yesterday.

The siblings were born in "Insect City," and their entire lives had consisted of eating contaminated tree roots, moss, and mushrooms, along with the unpalatable insects found in the roots. They had never tasted clean vegetables and fruits, much less seen meat and fish.

Last time, when Nie Yin returned to the Rain Courtyard alone to process the faith application and new identities for the two, he promised to bring Yuan Tang and his sister a delicious meal and invite the siblings from another world to taste the delicacies of the main world.

After some inquiries, she discovered that in addition to picking up some "experimental waste (frogs)" from the trash can to cook in a hot pot, she also reluctantly spent money to buy the most popular "Chicken King Family Bucket Set Meal" among the students of "Rain Academy".

This deep-fried, fatty food was exactly what the siblings, who were used to hardship, wanted. They ate it with gusto, not finding it greasy at all. It was a satisfaction they had never experienced before, like biting into heaven.

The result was that the two of them ate and cried at the same time, while trying not to eat more. They stuffed the tattered fried chicken, along with the bones, into the younger brother's (older sister's) hands, hoping that the other would eat more.

Unable to bear watching any longer, Yuan Zhu had Nie Yin buy several buckets of cheap and affordable "Chicken King" chicken. Unexpectedly, the two of them hid it away and were now sharing the long-cold "Chicken King" with a solemn expression, eating it with great relish and practically floating on air.

Hearing Yuan Zhu say that it wouldn't taste good when it was cold, the little girl held up the chicken wing in her hand, which was obviously not fresh and the crispy skin had already softened, and retorted: "How could that be? It's obviously very fragrant and delicious!"

Yuan Tiao nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it's delicious!"

"Forehead……"

Yuan Zhu wanted to say that it wasn't that "Chicken King" was delicious, but that there was something wrong with your taste system, and that there was no such thing as bad food. But after thinking about the embarrassing scene when the little girl reluctantly gave him her treasured "dung beetle", she decided to give up.

We can't be too harsh on these miserable kids in this apocalyptic world, so I said, "Since you like it so much, once I start paying you a salary, you'll have an endless supply of 'Chicken King,' 'Hometown Chicken,' 'Free-range Chicken,' 'Chicken Overlord'... there's no need to eat it cold."

The little girl's eyes lit up as she nodded repeatedly, holding up the few pieces she had left and invitingly asked, "Big brother, would you like some?"

Yuan Zhu shook his head: "There's no need for that! How have those goblins you were assigned to train performed?"

Yuan Tiao looked up: "I signed four [Holy Light Goblins] into [Anti-Law] and observed the patterns of their [Breathing Techniques] and physical changes. I have some inspiration, but I can't quite grasp it. I always feel there's a barrier between us, and my inspiration and ideas aren't very clear."

One of Yuan Tiao's tasks was to observe and train the six [Goblin Paladins], forcing them to correct their breathing patterns and continuously circulate the [Holy Light Knight Breathing Technique]. He also combined this with the [Holy Flask] implanted in his abdomen (dantian) to release 'Holy Cough Particles' into his body to strengthen and modify it.

This breathing technique is completely different from the Qi Refiners of Insect City, yet they both originate from the Knight's Breathing Technique. Candlelight hopes that the Holy Light Goblins can achieve breakthroughs and accomplishments; it also hopes that its younger brother can gain inspiration from them and modify and complete the Qi Refining Technique, which is no longer practiceable.

Under his guidance, the younger brother selected four outstanding "Holy Goblins" and signed them into his "Anti-Law Group D." Through the hierarchical control relationship of the "Anti-Laws," he gained a deeper and more intuitive understanding of the changes in the goblins' cultivation, and he had already gained some insights.

He definitely has some talent!

Yuan Zhu comforted him, "Don't rush, it's only been a day. Continue to patiently observe them, and don't forget to train the other 'earth warriors and orcs' in martial arts."

"I have trained them diligently, but their comprehension is just too poor."

As he spoke, frustration and self-doubt appeared on the younger brother's face. Despite his utmost responsibility and meticulous planning, the feedback from the orcs and goblins made him question the meaning of life.

Yuan Zhu then looked at the little girl: "Xiao Tang, get ready. I'll take you away from the haunted house today. From now on, you'll follow Nie Yin and manage the frog farm for me. She'll teach you frog-raising techniques. Next to the frog farm, there's a greenhouse that's about to open. You can try raising corpses there. I'll arrange a professional 'botany and herbalism expert' as your mentor. She's also very knowledgeable about our local alchemy."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tang glanced at the tightly closed door of the haunted house and exclaimed excitedly, "Can I go out now? Then can my younger brother also leave and go out to see the world and breathe the clean air of the upper realm?!"

Candle nodded: "Your identities have been processed, and your [Faith List] applications are complete. As long as you are mentally certified and bound, and with the cover of [Anti-Law], you can move freely as long as you don't use your 'True Qi' and keep a low profile. But try to avoid crowded places and don't go near the [Security Bureau]."

"I'm assigning you to the Frog Factory because it's in a remote location, close to the Misty Mountains for some cover, and relatively safe. I'm leaving Little Cicada here because the Garden of Disease is very valuable, and he still has the task of training 'orcs and goblins,' so he can't leave for now. Just bear with it a little longer; once my New Law Domain is completed, you'll have a new home!"

The little girl exclaimed excitedly, "A new [Shadow Domain]? Like [Pastoral Village], it has a domain with the [Reverse Garden (Shadow World)]?"

She knows this person so well, she feels so safe with them. It's the feeling of home.

Yuan Zhu nodded: "But this time there's no [Shadow Dream Hole], so I wonder what the [New Law Domain] will ultimately look like?"
