I'm doing daily quests in Wizarding World

Chapter 119 Mutation (Part Two)

Although Lynn couldn't be sure if there was really a problem with the product, that didn't stop her from making preparations for protection in the lab beforehand.

In retrospect, these precautionary measures were not in vain.

In fact, for wizards, the determination of whether a creature possesses intelligence is a rather broad definition.

It's not that being able to react conditionedly to external changes constitutes wisdom, but rather that being able to think, having the ability to learn, and possessing independent self-awareness are what constitute wisdom.

Lynn was curious whether the liquid metal monster in front of him only possessed instincts or truly possessed intelligence.

Lynn observed the lump of metal with great interest, seemingly noticing the increasingly strange look in his eyes.

The previously dormant liquid metal began to stir restlessly, emitting a hissing sound as it struck the box beside it.

Small white dots appeared where the box, made of special materials, was hit.

"It still retains some corrosive ability, but you're a bit naughty," Lynn said with a smile.

After nearly an hour of impact, the liquid metal finally completely eroded the metal plate of the box that had been hit. The eroded metal turned into grayish-white molten wax, which was slowly absorbed by the liquid metal.

But before the molten metal could excitedly rush out, then—duang.

The mechanism was triggered, and as the first layer of boxes disappeared, the second layer of boxes filled in. The liquid metal collided with another new layer of metal boxes.

Knowing its corrosive properties, Lynn prepared many layers of metal boxes in advance, and each layer of metal boxes was isolated from the others!

Therefore, this corrosion will not spread between the metal boxes.

Each layer can delay the process by an hour, and countless hours added together can continuously slow down the rate at which this molten metal corrodes.

However, the inhibitors we made before didn't seem to be very effective against it.

After several hours of effort, the liquid metal seemed to finally realize that no matter how hard it tried, it could not break through this cage. It gradually lost its motivation and lay helplessly in the cage like a clump of salted fish.

Lynn narrowed his eyes slightly as he manipulated the metal box to bring it near the white flesh mother body.

As they drew closer, the liquid metal inside the cage became increasingly agitated.

It kept frantically banging against the walls of the cage, and as it got closer, this emotion was vividly conveyed.

Lynn sensed that its emotion seemed to be fear.

It fears the mother because of the mother's ability to absorb all the white flesh that splits out.

Lynn's lips curled up, his eyes filled with excitement. Since there was something to fear, it meant that it could be controlled to some extent.

A month later, Lynn, who had been staying in the lab, finally had new research results!

Looking at the pure white liquid metal trapped inside the metal cage in front of me.

Through Lynn's month of tireless research, some of its characteristics were improved, and a new effect—assimilation—was developed.

It can assimilate into the target like a liquid metal weapon. Under the potion developed by Lynn, its corrosive ability can be retained, but it can achieve a symbiotic relationship with the host. However, this symbiosis is not 100% successful and there is a certain probability of failure. The consequence of failure is death.

According to his research, the liquid metal seems to undergo a strange reaction after being tested in vivo, making it impossible to peel off.

What's even stranger is that Lynn later produced liquid metal again according to the formula.

Every time it creates new liquid metal, the previous liquid metal mysteriously dies.

It was as if some rule allowed only one of them to exist at a time, and Lynn used this method to peel off the previous liquid metal.

It was precisely because of this characteristic that Lynn abandoned the idea of ​​mass production.

Lynn gathered his followers.

Red-eyed, Lauren, B, Bova, Four-armed Brute.

Before them stood a lizardman, a human, two goblins, and a demon.

Even if it's your own research result, it's not something just anyone can use.

If successful, it would be a chance to rise to the top in one step. Putting aside other abilities, just the strange corrosive ability and strong resistance to magic and physical damage would allow even an ordinary person to become a strange and powerful monster. The rabbits and mice that Lynn used as test subjects could not be harmed in the slightest even when lightning struck them. In the end, Lynn killed it by remaking liquid metal.

Therefore, Lynn carefully and cautiously chose the recipients of his gifts, ensuring their loyalty.

Lynn pointed to the liquid metal in the metal cage next to him and succinctly explained the risks of this experiment.

"Who among you wants to try?" Lynn asked.

The four-armed brute force demon scratched its head; it wasn't interested in this kind of thing, since it wasn't edible.

Although Bova was somewhat tempted, she hesitated due to its potential dangers.

Bu glanced at it and then lowered his head, his big eyes fixed on his toes, as if there was something interesting there.

Red Eyes hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind. Just as he was about to speak, a figure beside him had already walked out.

"Lauren." Bova looked worriedly at Lauren as she walked out.

Lauren turned around, shook her head firmly at Beauva, and gave her a reassuring look.

Since coming to the Wizarding Continent with her master, Lauren has found herself becoming less and less useful to him.

There are too many powerful beings in this world, and the power that it once took pride in in front of ordinary humans now seems so insignificant.

It knew that if it didn't try harder, it might never see its master again.

"You all go out first," Lynn said to the others.

Lauren was the only one left in the lab.

Lynn walked to the side, scraped some powder off the white flesh with a scraper, and began preparing experimental materials. He then stopped just before the final step in successfully creating the liquid metal. "Take it," Lynn said.

Although Lynn cannot guarantee success, he can create new liquid metal before he fails at the last minute.

At least Lauren can save her life this way.

Lauren reached her hand into the metal cage, and the liquid metal that had been lying quietly inside suddenly moved, as if a venomous snake had slithered into Lauren's arm!

Lauren grunted and took a half step back, gripping the edge of the lab table tightly with both arms, her tail wagging incessantly.

The liquid metal swam upwards along its arm, like a mouse hiding under the skin.

Gradually, the swimming liquid metal shrank, seemingly merging with him. At the same time, Lauren's green scales began to gleam with a metallic emerald sheen.

Half an hour later, Lauren, as if she had been pulled out of the water, got up from the ground.

Two long, slender arms covered in scales hung naturally from his shoulders, his tall body drooped slightly, and his originally orange-yellow pupils turned into a noble golden color.

His lips split open, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth resembling those of a shark.

Boom!

The laboratory floor trembled slightly, and Lauren knelt on one knee.

"Thank you, Master, for granting me strength."

The update is a bit late today... there will be more later tonight.
