New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 308 I'm going to start business mode!
After inspecting the temporarily uninhabited dormitory, Yuan Zhu and his two companions entered the bustling [Disease Garden].

At this moment, more than a dozen short, ugly, and thin 'Shadow Bull Goblins' who were gradually building up muscles were being bullied by the youngest of the five mixed-blood orc brothers, the fifth brother.

It was a black-skinned, buck-toothed muscleman who was punching and kicking five panting goblins. The goblins' faces were covered in bruises, and there were even traces of blood on their mouths and noses.

After a brief rest, the five goblins exchanged glances, nodded, and launched a fearless and flashy assault on the disdainful orc.

The earth warriors let out strange cries. With a "roar!" they either took to the air and did somersaults or made comical and absurd eagle-like spread-wing movements, rushing towards the orcs with bizarre yet passionate actions.

What should have been a simple and efficient raid was marred by a multitude of cumbersome, redundant, and even utterly shameful actions. This bizarre scene, strangely, somehow evoked a sense of excitement in the viewer.

With a few succinct blocks and counterattacks in quick succession, the five 'shadow drama queens' were sent flying backward with screams of agony. They were knocked away, cried out in pain, landed, rolled around, and clutched their wounds with heartbroken, simply groveling expressions, which were even more immersive and entertaining than their previous shameful attack.

After brutally beating up five 'shadow drama queens', the mixed-blood orc sullenly cursed a couple of times. He had an expression that said, "You guys have fooled me, and you're disgusting me, like someone who's choked on their own poop."

Then, it stomped its foot indignantly, turned around and went back to rest. It ignored the five indomitable warriors behind it, who were acting as if they were seriously injured and in great pain, yet still looked at the back of their powerful enemies with unyielding eyes.

"Forehead……"

Upon entering the garden, Yuan Zhu witnessed this scene, reminiscent of a stage play and filled with clumsy acting. He found it somewhat offensive; the five ugly goblins' lifelike expressions and eye acting were truly unsettling, yet also possessed a captivating, almost demonic allure.

He was genuinely hit, but his reactions and movements were clumsy and poorly acted. However, he successfully added a touch of drama to the monotonous and boring fight, making it immediately apparent to the audience that there was some "love and hate" mixed in with the seemingly mundane beating.

Yeah, it's like watching one of those poorly made, shoddy short dramas that requires you to store your brain in it—a kind of shameful yet addictive experience.

Although Yuan Zhu was feeling uneasy, the little girl next to him, who had lacked entertainment since childhood, couldn't help but clap her hands and watch with great interest, even getting a little excited.

She and her brother were completely absorbed in the performance, not at all distracted. They only lamented that the five drama queens were too fragile and couldn't keep up the act. Even the other orcs and paladins watching were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Yuan Zhu was utterly speechless: "This..."

Snake quickly replied, "Didn't you ask me to organize the content about 'WWE and UFC' from my past life's memories and then transplant it into Earth Spirits to train them into 'professional exhibition fighters'? I took the initiative and selected a lot of melodramatic scripts from your memories to add energy to the monotonous fighting routines and inject melodramatic plots to enhance their watchability. Their acting skills were all pre-programmed by me and performed by controlling their facial nerves through the [Brain Eggplant CPU]."

"In the battle just now, the orcs were not bound by the [script] and were truly in control of themselves, launching a serious attack. As for the goblins, their potential is too poor and their intelligence is too low, so there is no need to train them to become professional fighters. Therefore, the [Soap Opera Performer System] was loaded to try to integrate 'fighting, exaggerated acting, rich facial expressions, and script' and rehearse them."

Yuan Zhu was speechless and felt incredibly frustrated. After all, it was all his own arrangement. The beastmen had strong physiques and great potential; they were genuine 'frog-type modification' test subjects, so naturally, they were being trained to become legitimate fighters.

As for the Earth Spirits, apart from the two sacrifices planned to be fed to the [Uniform], all the other 'Shadow Earth Spirits' are trained as contestants for the 'Goblin Showdown,' thus focusing on the integration of 'acting skills, stunt performers, and martial arts routine performers.'

Yuan Zhu commented, "Your plan is sound, but why are their actions so disjointed? It makes me very uncomfortable."

Snake: "Ah! Time is limited, so I designed a different 'character script' for each of the 'drama queen warriors.' It seems like the five goblins are rehearsing the same play, but in reality, they are five different scripts compressed into one battle. Look at the goblin on the left, his mother was abandoned by the big boss when she was young, and now she is seeking revenge on her biological father. The drama queen on the right, number 2, was once a vengeful couple with the big boss, but now the boss has fallen in love with someone else. And look at number 3..."

Snake simply gave a brief critique, and Yuan Zhu's mind immediately conjured up a bunch of brainless short dramas that were hard to criticize but had absurd and addictive plots.

This damn "spicy snack" does nothing productive all day but gather all this Earth's dregs together, and even innovates and customizes it for goblins, iterating and upgrading it. It fully demonstrates the superiority of artificial intelligence; no wonder it's an intelligent life form, a navigation sprite.

Sensing Lao Da's emotional fluctuations, the snake proudly boasted, "How about that? Wasn't I great?!"

"This is so melodramatic, it's disgusting."

The snake, far from being ashamed, was actually proud: "Tell me, doesn't it make you feel intoxicated? The local natives simply can't resist it. Look at their expressions."

Yuan Zhu looked around and saw that, apart from the orc No. 5 who was frustrated by being forced to play the role of the big boss, the other four orc brothers, as well as the remaining five actors who didn't have time to go on stage, were all watching intently, and had a strong urge to try it out.

Snake: "I think our [Goblin Wars] has the potential to become a huge hit. We should invite Sister Miaomiao to watch it in advance and give us her opinion."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhu immediately thought of the classic line, "My cat can do backflips, would you like to come up and sit?" So he nodded, "That's a good idea!"

...

After the inspection, the actors who could immediately impersonate stuntmen in Hong Kong were criticized by Yuan Zhu for their poor acting skills and exaggerated, melodramatic style.

But Snake immediately argued that although it was a bit low-class, once she put on makeup, wore the cosplay costume she designed, and combined it with the current melodramatic acting skills and real fighting, it would definitely attract attention and make the audience unable to stop even though they felt physically uncomfortable!

She was full of confidence in the 'script' she had written!

Afterward, Yuan Zhu inspected five hybrid beastmen. Compared to the theatrical warriors destined for 'animal performances', these were the core of Yuan Zhu's training.

To this end, he was willing to waste all the spots in the [Anti-Law Group A] just to enhance their potential.

Compared to goblins, whose intelligence is clearly deficient and who even need CPU assistance to act, the intelligence of hybrid orcs is comparable to that of normal humans.

In everyday conversations, the differences are completely imperceptible. Only when it comes to advanced knowledge learning and logical thinking can the gap in intelligence be felt.

However, physical combat is not a subject for studying advanced academic subjects. The intelligent hybrid beastmen, empowered by the [Brain Eggplant CPU], have been training and growing rapidly, seemingly without any effort.

First, the five orcs received pre-natal physical enhancement (muscle spiritual root aptitude) from the [Insect-type Mutant Organization]; then, under Nie Yin's guidance, they completed the orthodox [Frog-type Modification], and were injected with higher doses of [Body Tempering Fluid] daily to accelerate the tapping of their muscle potential.

Over the past few days, thanks to the "Brain Eggplant CPU" and Yuan Tiao's dedicated and brutal training, they have successfully mastered a large number of fighting skills and defensive techniques.

Although it's impossible to fully grasp and apply these skills flexibly, they are all unconsciously ingrained into biological instincts, forming muscle memory.

Just like the performance earlier, the goblins' attacks and acting were all pre-programmed 'routines'. But Orc Number 5's reactions were all completely genuine. The moment he was attacked, without even needing to think, his [Brain CPU] would instantly retrieve the best response from the 'intelligent database', controlling his muscle system to make a perfect adaptation, severely injuring and sending the drama queens flying one by one.

After being beaten, the drama queen's brain was also stimulated, and she retrieved the most suitable acting template from the "exaggerated and pretentious acting library". As if divinely inspired, she performed wildly, making the audience mesmerized.

This kind of adaptability has nothing to do with the orcs' combat intelligence, but it is closely related to their instincts. Their martial arts skills are completely equivalent to the richness of their daily experience of being beaten in various ways.

Fortunately, Yuan Zhu hired his younger brother Jun, a martial arts genius, as their coach. Almost every beating was unique and unpredictable, greatly enriching the database.

If A-Tiao beats them up using 100 different ways of fighting, [Brain Eggplant CPU] can then help them review and summarize 100 rigid ways to deal with them afterwards.

When these 'coping strategies' were uploaded to the 'Lord of Anti-Laws (Yuan Zhu)' via the 'Anti-Laws' and further digested through the 'Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture,' a new 'fighting template' was compiled. This template was then fed back to all orcs under the guise of 'debt, investment, and software upgrades.'

These 'beast fighters' will share 'supreme wisdom' with each other, gaining an epiphany upgrade with 5 times the combat experience.

Using this unorthodox, cheat-like method of leveling up, the five brothers caught up with others' training and cultivation progress of nearly half a year in less than a week, and even gained rich 'combat experience'. They also didn't neglect the 'frog-type' physical body modification and enhancement.

At this moment, Yuan Zhu, through the backend observation of [Anti-Law], judged that their muscle enhancement level had reached between [20%-33%]. It was time to consider officially releasing them into the pen, letting them compete, and earning food for himself.

So he called out to Snake: "Make a note of this. Remind me later to arrange for these good-for-nothings to participate in underground fighting as soon as possible, so they can earn me a living."

Snake was somewhat surprised: "Are we sending them out to work and earn money so early? What if they get severely injured and their foundation is damaged? Wouldn't that be a loss?"

Yuan Zhu: "Start with regular tournaments to accumulate experience and develop tactics. The appearance of an orc with this kind of physique in a mortal-level arena is already quite eye-catching. After playing a few more rounds and accumulating enough fame, we can then smoothly transition to the underground arena."

He has now collected a large amount of data on the initial modification of the [Power Path] from the five orcs through [Anti-Law. Shadow]. Therefore, the value of hybrid orcs is gradually decreasing, and it is not cost-effective to keep them for free.

Instead, sending them into actual combat to collect all sorts of unexpected 'combat data' can enrich the database, force them to explore their potential, and directly record the process of [Frog-type Enhancement]. Even if they can't break through 100% and are destroyed in battle prematurely, making the investment in [Anti-Law Contract] go down the drain, we still profit.

Seeing that the five hastily trained orcs could all go out to work, Snake couldn't help but suggest, "Then, can the [Drama Warriors] that I personally trained also go online and play exhibition matches?"

Yuan Zhu shook his head: "No, their acting skills are too poor and still need improvement. The hybrid orcs have lived in the plantation for many years, so their intelligence is high, and they are also blessed by the Anti-Law, making their cultivation seem divinely aided. But the Drama Warriors are different; their intelligence is flawed, and they rely entirely on the Brain Eggplant to take control of their bodies, lacking spirituality. They also don't have the Anti-Law to cheat them, so they need more training. I will invite Miaomiao to come and judge them. If she thinks they can start operating, it won't be too late to hold the Goblin Battle."

Snake was both excited and worried: "Big Brother, do you think that after Sister Miaomiao saw our family's 'goblin performance,' she might misunderstand you and cut off all contact with you?"

Yuan Zhu shook her head: "No way! Doesn't she like having fun? Isn't this fun enough?"

Once you get used to Snake's melodramatic scripts and exaggerated acting, this stuff is like eating stinky tofu or preserved eggs—it's potent and gets more and more addictive the more you eat it.

After checking the progress of the hybrid orc and the magician, Yuan Zhu ignored the two normally trained 'Ultimate Goblin Warriors' and the two goblin sword cultivators who had not yet received the [Sword Blessing]. He went directly to the [Paladin] group.

He installed the [Holy Beaker] in the abdomens of these six healthy goblins. Every day, a portion of their life force was steadily burned and converted into initial [Holy Light], which was responsible for igniting the 'disease-contaminated fuel' pre-stored in the [Beaker], releasing even larger [Holy Cough Particles] that slowly eroded their flesh.

In his vision, these Paladin Spirits could temporarily manipulate 'Holy Cough Particles' to enhance their physical bodies by adjusting their breathing techniques and using the 'Holy Light Breathing Technique'.

Yuan Zhu was in this state when he was at the Star Bank. His physical strength and physique had been greatly improved, but the drawback was that it was a temporary enhancement and could not be permanently maintained.

These six test subjects are now igniting themselves time and time again, relying on the [Holy Flask] to generate a large number of 'Holy Cough Particles', and then using various methods of [Breathing Technique] to prolong and preserve the enhancement effect as much as possible, and even to become permanently transformed flesh and blood.

Due to the short time available, these elite paladins were unable to even master the Holy Light Breathing Technique, let alone achieve any substantial breakthroughs or insights.

To speed things up, Yuan Tiao, at the behest of his elder brother (Yuan Zhu), selected the four strongest of the six [Sacred Essences] and signed them into his [Anti-Law.D Group], giving them the [Anti-Law.Plug-in].

The drawback is that [Anti-Law. Shadow] has a very low correlation with [Holy Light]. In order to ensure its own 'purity of Holy Light', even though Yuan Tiao forcibly signed the contract, it did not invest much in 'Holy Essence'.

The advantage is that he can more intuitively observe the changes in the cultivation of the 'Holy Essences' through the [Reverse Law], obtain detailed changes in the [Holy Light Breathing Method], and bestow the [Brain Eggplant CPU] through the [Reverse Law], so that he can instill his insights into the cultivation of the [Breathing Method], as well as new conjectures and inspirations, into the Holy Essences at any time and place in the form of [Grace, Investment], thus deepening the [Reverse Law's debt of gratitude].

In other words, Yuan Tiao could have avoided personally practicing the Holy Light Breathing Technique and instead used the Anti-Law to control the four experimental subjects, allowing them to fully verify the 'cultivation method' for themselves and continuously learn from the feedback, so that they could gain new inspiration and insights before being granted the iterated 'technique' once again.

This method of practice can be considered an incorrect application of the "anti-law". The drawback is that while the "anti-law" attracts users, it doesn't yield any returns, instead resulting in a continuous inflow of sunk costs.

The advantage is that while you forgo substantial gains, you can validate various hypotheses, which greatly helps your personal development. As long as you can afford the losses and sunk costs, you can experiment indefinitely, using each batch of attempts to improve.

At the same time, the [Anti-Law Dominator] may shift its alignment, gradually transitioning from a 'benevolent god' to an 'evil god'.

Finally, Yuan Zhu inspected the growth of the 10 Disease-type (Eyeball) Polluted Goblins that were being raised as [Forging Fuel].

Using the "Holy Gourd" within their bodies, they continuously suppress and refine the spread of "disease contamination," causing the quality of the "contamination crystals" to continuously improve, resulting in "soul embers" that are purer and more potent!
They haven't reached their limit yet, and can probably hold on for another day or two.

Although Yuan Zhu cannot immediately obtain the materials for [Forging Seals], as the quality of the 'fuel' continues to improve, the efficiency of 'Forging Seals' will inevitably increase significantly. The original quantitative approach of simply increasing quantity and wasting time in forging seals has been transformed into a completely new 'qualitative transformation route,' which is simpler and more efficient.

He was filled with anticipation for this and instructed A-Tiao to take good care of these 'cultivation materials'. He told them to feed them plenty of 'eyeball fruits' to develop their fiery eyes, which would allow the [Holy Seal] to cultivate even stronger 'Holy Light Eye Techniques'!
"These 'Disease Goblins' are doing well. Later, you can select another batch of eggplant goblins from the [Haunted House]. I will personally cast the 'Holy Flask Blessing' spell!"

Ten [Spiritual Materials] might not be enough to forge the second seal. Seeing their promising growth, Yuan Zhu decided to add another 20 [Eggplant Essences]. These were much more cost-effective than roasting small pumpkins!

The [Disease (Eyeball) Crystal] generated from a single 'Flare Goblin' is at least equivalent to the mixed-quality 'Contamination Crystal' produced by a dozen or so ordinary goblins consuming 'Eyeball Fruits'.

All this transformation stemmed from his comprehension of the Holy Beaker after his second [Seal Forging]. As his strength and realm increased, his cultivation efficiency also skyrocketed. Coupled with the ability to freely access the resources of the [Garden of Disease], his [Seal Forging] pace began to spiral upwards.

[3 prints] is a promising prospect.
