Chapter 100 "Resources" in the Underworld

"Thank you so much this time," Li Xin said sincerely.

He never expected that this time he couldn't even handle the Zhong Kui statue and the 2000 evil potatoes.

If it weren't for the debt of gratitude owed to the Chen family, everyone would probably be doomed.

Just as Chen Zhu was about to speak, Chen Caiwei answered first.

"Sir, saying thank you is too formal," she said. "Since my daughter and I have already made a promise, we will definitely do our best to help you."

Li Xin was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Okay, I will do my best to get you to Fengduqian."

Then he looked at Chen Zhu.

"Um, in this underworld, is there anyone who owes the Chen family a debt of gratitude?"

This time, Li Xin finally understood something.

Even the righteous gods of the underworld owe people favors.

Given their status, repaying this favor would be incredibly difficult. Besides, he had already tasted the benefits.

However, Chen Zhu gave a wry smile and gently shook his head.

"That's all, just the one from before."

"All right."

"You should rest, my lord," Yun Zhi reminded him. "It's already 10 p.m.

"Um?

""

Li Xin was stunned for a moment.

It's already evening?

The Gates of Hell, the Ghostly Messenger, the Road to the Underworld, the City of Predators, the Bridge of Helplessness, Meng Po...

Recalling all that had happened along the way, he couldn't help but shake his head and give a wry smile.

"So many things have already happened on the first day."

However, on her way to her room, Li Xin inadvertently caught a glimpse of something.

Those are spider lilies that grow along the banks of the River of Oblivion.

Their petals are long and thin like silk, curling outwards, and are as red as blood.

On the riverbank, the waters of the River of Oblivion surge.

A few minutes later, Li Xin ordered someone to pick a few spider lilies and scoop up a bucket of water from the River of Oblivion.

He examined the two closely.

The red spider lily feels very light to the touch and has almost no scent. But if you hold it for a while, your thoughts will gradually drift away, making you feel like you've forgotten everything.

The River of Oblivion has a pale amber color and contains a lot of dark silt; just looking at it makes one's heart tremble.

"This should be considered a resource unique to the underworld, right?" Li Xin thought.

With the thought of "since we're already here," he simply had the Starfire collect a considerable amount of the underworld land, the red spider lily, and the water of the River of Oblivion.

After all, cities now have plenty of space.

Store these resources from this special world; you might need them someday.

Just then, Li Xin's gaze fell on the thing clipped to his waist.

It's Dr. Agamon's Gene Handbook.

This book that can acquire and simulate gene evolution is so much fun! Li Xin loves it so much that he wants to carry it with him at all times.

Looking at the book, a novel idea suddenly came to his mind.

Could I obtain genes from the underworld and then simulate their evolution?

Not only ghosts and water spirits, but also judges, messengers, and even ox-headed and horse-faced demons, black and white impermanence... the genes of these creatures from the underworld should be very valuable.

We did it right away.

The first target was a wandering spirit. As usual, Li Xin used the same old trick, bribing a wandering spirit in the vicinity with a few ghost potatoes.

The other party instantly beamed with joy, becoming as submissive as a dog wagging its tail, allowing Li Xin to do as he pleased.

When he opened the gene manual, the latter naturally absorbed the probability aura from the ghost and automatically displayed a series of data.

[Species Name: Wraith]

[Gene Overview: Not a DNA structure; extremely simple gene sequence; loose structure; poor stability. It contains no known organic macromolecules, consisting only of a compressed mass of negative energy and a residual information membrane.]

[Genetic Attributes:]

Strength: E— / Speed: D+ / Intelligence: B+ / Spirit: C / Genetic Stability: A

Overall Rating: D

"??"

The breath caught in my throat for a moment.

He never expected that this gene manual would be so useful, even able to detect the "genes" of ghosts!

Upon closer examination, its description is actually quite reasonable.

From a scientific point of view, this spirit does indeed fit the descriptions of "yin energy" and "residual information membrane".

"If we can obtain genes, then we should be able to hybridize genes too!" he exclaimed excitedly.

The next target is the water ghost in the River of Oblivion.

This time, leaving Xin is proving difficult.

First, once a living person falls into the water, they immediately become strange. Second, water ghosts harbor deep resentment and will try every means to drag people into the water.

Chen Zhu volunteered to step forward.

"Let me do it."

As he spoke, he pulled a roll of black thread and a copper coin from his basket.

Under Li Xin's astonished gaze, this descendant of the Chen family came to the riverbank, muttered incantations, and threw the tied copper coins into the river.

In no time at all, he slowly reeled in the line. At the other end of the line, a pale, swollen water ghost was pulled up.

Just as it was about to roar and struggle, Chen Zhu stepped on its back and casually stuck a yellow paper talisman on it, and it immediately stopped moving.

"That's amazing..." Li Xin exclaimed.

Families in this industry certainly have some skills.

After absorbing the water ghost's genes, the gene manual gave a rating.

[Species Name: Water Ghost]

[Genetic Overview: A non-DNA structure, a flow of information composed of a mixture of yin energy and resentment. Its structure is slightly more complex than that of ordinary spirits.]

[Genetic Attributes:]

Strength: E— / Speed: B+ / Intelligence: D+ / Spirit: C / Genetic Stability: A

Overall Rating: C

With great excitement, Li Xin began his hybridization experiment, combining the genes of the Yin spirit and the water ghost.

The results were beyond his expectations; the success rate of gene hybridization was extremely high, and the occurrence of aberrations and signs of gene collapse was very low.

Two superior species even emerged.

One is the "Tidecaller" who can control the flow of water, and the other is the "Wraith" with deep resentment and stronger fighting power.

"Perhaps because they are all yin objects, and since they have no physical form, they have a high degree of compatibility?" Li Xin guessed.

Next, he hybridized the water ghost gene with the previous dinosaur gene.

This time the situation is much worse.

The experimental results popped up in rows, and the vast majority of them were "genetic collapse" or "abnormal variants".

Occasionally, a few barely survive, but they are eerie freaks—they have dinosaur skeletons, swollen and festering skin like water ghosts, and murky eyes.

Li Xin frowned.

The hybridization of this physical body of flesh and blood with the ethereal body of the underworld is far more difficult than imagined.

"Water ghosts and vengeful spirits are essentially adding more mystery upon mystery, cultivating only stronger forms of the bizarre."

he thinks.

"Following this logic, if I can find a way to obtain powerful and bizarre genes, the hybrid that results will definitely be an even stronger bizarre being!"

He decided that in the time to come, he would have to find a way to obtain some "advanced" genes from the underworld.

The hybridization experiment didn't last long because Xin was already very tired.

He returned to his room and lay down on the bed.

After accidentally seeing the underworld outside, he suddenly remembered something.

The most precious resources in this underworld are not the yin soil, the red spider lily, or the water of the River of Oblivion, nor are they the various strange "genes," nor are they the magical treasures of those legendary figures.

It is a "system".

The underworld possesses a complete, self-consistent, and "strange" system that has been operating for millions of years.

From the lowest-ranking wandering ghosts, to ghost messengers, judges, and the Black and White Impermanence, and then to Meng Po, Yama, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

From the Yellow Springs Road, the River of Oblivion, and the Bridge of Helplessness, to the Gate of Hell, Fengdu City, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

From guiding the soul, crossing the river, crossing the bridge, drinking soup, and reincarnation, to judgment, punishment, rebirth, and returning to life.

This is an incredibly large and intricate system with interconnected components!

If human civilization were to fully acquire various ancient texts and resources in the underworld, it might be possible to incorporate the entire bizarre system into the development of mobile cities.

After several generations of development, it can cultivate an incomparably powerful and bizarre underworld system!

Compared to modern weapons, the mysterious forces are even more intractable.

In the ordinary world I transmigrated to, any native civilization that wasn't tough enough would be utterly destroyed!

Even a more advanced mobile civilization might not be able to withstand it.

Li Xin became more and more excited as he thought about it, and for a while he even had trouble sleeping.
