Chapter 132 Genetic Bioengineering on a Distant Star

[Far Star Botanical Garden] Daily Challenge times have been exhausted.

Lin Bo can only say that he is left wanting more. The clearance process is too short, and the experience points gained are too little.

[Network Tip: The "Normal" difficulty of the dungeon [Out-of-Control Botanical Garden on a Distant Star] has been unlocked. Please see the invitation letter for details.]

Difficulty: Normal

Clearance Rewards: Comprehensive Network Disaster Coins*300, General Experience*1500, Gray Quality Drops, White Quality Drops, Blue Quality Drops (low probability), General Skill Book (low probability), Knowledge Fragments (extremely low probability)
As the dungeon becomes more difficult and more areas are unlocked, the entire clearance process will be extended accordingly, and the consumption of combat resources will increase significantly.

Every player has limited time and energy, which means that in order to balance income and expenditure, they sometimes have to give up some low-level copies.

Lin Bo put away the invitation letter and opened the chat interface.

He announced in the team channel that he had obtained a higher-level copy.

Then the team channel exploded with messages popping up like crazy.

[Heart Healing]: Is this day finally coming? Master Brother, I wish you all the best. When you're not around, we'll continue to work hard, woo woo woo...

[Evil-Exorcist]: No! Master, how can I live without you?

His teammates were reluctant to let him go, but ultimately they all wished Lin Bo to continue to move forward.

[Lighthouse Guest]: Get ready, let’s continue running the map
[Evil-Exorcist]: Huh?

[Fist Bone Iron]: Huh? Master brother, aren't you leaving?

[Lighthouse Guest]: The new dungeon is quite simple for now. I will show you around without delay.
[Heart Healing]: As expected of you...Mage, my Superman (love) (love)

Lin Bo's words were very conservative. For him at the moment, the new copy was indeed not too stressful. The combat resources consumed by a challenge were just a Whale Blue Magic Mushroom.

But there was no guarantee that he would have the energy to manage the 10-player [Sea Spirit Altar] once the difficulty level increased. Therefore, he wanted to say hello to his teammates in advance, to prevent them from suddenly leaving without saying goodbye one day in the future.

After completing today's map-running task, Lin Bo sorted out his gains.

[Sea Spirit Altar] gave two affix treasure chests, collecting 2000 disaster coins, and [Distant Star Botanical Garden] collected 140 disaster coins and 600 general experience.

The current professional level experience value has reached (4305/203000), and there is still a long way to go before upgrading.

There are also two new low-grade drops.

Gardener gloves (gray)
Type: Textile technology products

Weight: 0.1 kg
Equipment Effect: The wearing part is immune to negative states caused by contact with plants, including allergies, paralysis, bleeding, severe pain, and corrosion.
Description: These gardening gloves, developed and manufactured by Yuanhanger, feature aviation-grade fabric for superior protection. The instruction manual clearly states, "Any health consequences resulting from failure to wear gloves, such as amputation, disfigurement, paralysis, or death, are the sole responsibility of the employee and will not be compensated by the company."

Although they are gardener gloves, the style is very tough. The color is orange and the thick multi-layer textile fabric is quite solid. The outermost layer is waterproof latex, and the inner layer is soft and skin-friendly imitation leather material. There are also smooth metal protective blocks on the knuckles and fists.

But judging by the appearance, it's not an exaggeration to call them astronaut tactical gloves; they're quite stylish. Although they're a bit less flexible, their protective performance is absolutely impeccable.

With this pair of gloves, it will be much easier for melee players to deal with the thorny living plants in the [Distant Star Botanical Garden].

High-performance hemostatic gel (white)
Type: Pharmaceutical products
Weight: 0.8 kg
Item effect: Apply to wounds to eliminate bleeding immediately

Description: The first line of the product instructions states, "If you experience any symptoms such as hallucinations, delirium, shock, headache, or fever, please call the medical department immediately." An additional note appears at the end: "Use of this product constitutes agreement to sign the Volunteer Agreement."

The hemostatic gel is packaged in a thumb-sized metal spray can with a capacity of just over one milliliter.

Lin Bo pressed the nozzle, squeezing the transparent gel inside into his palm. He gently sniffed it, and a faint fruity aroma wafted out. It wasn't a chemically synthesized fragrance, but rather a more complex natural fruit scent. The raw material for this gel was probably derived from genetically modified fruits cultivated at the [Far Star Botanical Garden].

While searching for supplies, he discovered several fruit trees on display. After confirming that they were not magical, he lost interest in them. He was also worried that the fruits of these somewhat evil plants might carry genetic contamination, so he did not pick any.

The Voyager Company, which built the botanical garden, obviously regards fruits as important production raw materials, just as Lin Bo regards all-purpose fungi.

He then took out the foam launcher he had looted from the security booth.

During a previous test firing in the copy space, the gray-white gel sprayed out also had a pungent fruity smell. At that time, I thought it was a chemical aromatic hydrocarbon. Now, after re-examination, I found that the main raw material of this foam gel is also some kind of fruit.

Lin Bo has personally tested the excellent performance of foam gel.

It solidifies quickly in wind, is waterproof and fireproof, and offers excellent thermal insulation and durability, easily adhering to surfaces without falling off. Its surface hardness rivals that of acrylic plastic. It's suitable for use as a fire extinguisher, glue, or even as building insulation.

There must be many similar products made from plant fruits.

After realizing the practical value of these plants, Lin Bo sincerely apologized for his previous disdain for them. However, he still did not intend to casually feed the plant samples in the dungeon to the fungal creep.

He was really worried that the mushrooms would eat these messy things and mimic living plants, then run around all over the place and cause trouble for him.

After all, these genetically engineered plants have been evolving in abandoned parks for decades, so it's no surprise that they've been exposed to any kind of contamination.

When Lin Bo visited the exhibition hall, he saw an introduction that the Voyager Company had established a crisis management plan, which included building a seed hibernation storage facility in the central control tower to store the primary seeds of all plants, making it convenient to restart the experiment at any time.

His goal is to build that storage vault, from which he can select valuable, stable and safe crops to feed the all-purpose bacteria.

In fact, in terms of technical level, the all-round fungi cultivated by players on the Zongwang platform far surpassed the experimental plants in the dungeon. Even if they were fed casually, there was a high probability that nothing would go wrong. However, Lin Bo still wanted to give the mushrooms something good to eat.

In the afternoon, he continued to build the MSG production line. He stayed in the Botanical Garden dungeon chat channel, checking the messages from time to time.

A considerable number of players are discussing how to obtain the technical information of the Voyager Company in the dungeon.

There are many people who are envious, but the legacy of an alien technological civilization is not so easy to obtain.

You must first learn their language and then master their network information technology before you can enter the botanical garden's internal network, and then find a way to obtain advanced permissions before you can access the database.

The "Distant Star Botanical Garden" dungeon is still in its developmental stages. While veteran players have compiled monster guides and battle plans, the dungeon's background storyline remains largely unresolved.

Every day players discover new details, and everyone discusses their discoveries in the channel, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lin Bo watched for an entire afternoon as netizens studied the human remains scattered throughout the botanical garden, trying to figure out who they were in their lifetime.

The passes carried by some high-level company members can help players enter closed hidden areas in some scenes, and even use their identity bracelets to obtain advanced permissions for botanical garden equipment, which is very helpful for combat and exploration.

Lin Bo has never been good at this kind of decryption, but he also enjoys watching the various reasoning and debates of netizens.

In the evening, after completing today's construction plan, the lighthouse keeper chatted with the seagulls and mushrooms for a while, and implanted metal neurons into several healthy young fungus-talking seagulls.

The initial modified body had already shown symptoms of loss of appetite, but it was not weakened by this. In fact, it supplemented some of its daily energy needs by absorbing electricity, thus reducing its food intake.

Lin Bo plans to implant a miniature plasma engine into these second-generation seagulls to prevent them from always staying near nuclear power plants to draw electricity.

Looking at the mottled bird droppings on the shell of the nuclear power unit, he felt that this plan really needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
