My health recovery is incredibly fast.

However, Xia Zuo didn't object, because thanks to the [Full of Energy] effect, he now had inexhaustible energy. If it weren't for the fact that deep meditation every night was a must and could relieve physical fatigue, he could even use his evenings to study or conduct experiments.

"Yes, sir. As you wish, I will come here for two to three hours every day to study and strive to produce the ink material within a month."

Xia Zuo paused, then asked:

"There's one last question. Both sets of Demon Whale Zero are kept in the team leader's alchemy room. I might not have the chance to inscribe the Blood Rune Secret Contract. Shouldn't we find someone else to inscribe it?"

Christo said:

"I've carefully considered who should handle this. To be honest, I have many trusted confidants who are more reliable than you, but there are too many spies watching them. The slightest disturbance will attract attention. Only you are less conspicuous."

"Moreover, the various parts of the bionic human body will not be looked after by me and my colleagues. Therefore, I cannot make any arrangements on it; you will have to do it for me."

"I will help you create opportunities, so there's no need to worry."

"Okay." Xia Zuo nodded.

Christo shifted her posture, straightening her back. "Any other questions? If not, I'll take you back to Poseidon."

Xia Zuo raised his right forearm. "There's one."

"Go ahead."

Xia Zuo asked:

"Is the deep-sea turtle rescued by the Witcher Ner'assat?"

“Hmm~” Christo gave a meaningful low hum, stroking her chin with her right hand as she spoke:

"This is a very profound philosophical question, Chazo."

"He can be, or he can not be."

"It depends on what he does after he merges with the android body."

"If he readily surrendered the shrine of Devantana, allowing the temple to seal this dangerous forbidden object, then he is Nexusart."

"But if he delays or causes an accident, the temple will no longer give him a chance to reveal his identity. Instead, it will directly obliterate his body, causing the shrine and his consciousness to disappear together."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Christo's face as she said:

"Of course, the temple will not be as decisive and resolute as I say; there will always be different voices in the inner and outer sanctuaries."

"Only by obtaining more than half of the votes in one go can Nyxat be formally executed."

"That's almost impossible. There are quite a few old guys in the inner sanctum who want to use reduced sentences to get Nyxath ​​to reveal the secrets of the shamanic society; they've been eyeing this for a long time."

"It is precisely because of this that the punishment of life imprisonment for Naoxat was passed."

Xia Zuo's principle is to stay away.

At this moment, he deeply felt the power struggle behind the development of bionic body engineering.

“I have no other questions, Your Excellency.” Xia Zuoxiang bowed slightly in greeting.

"Then, I'll take you back."

Christo stood up, waved away the sofa, and took a small teleportation crystal out of her pocket.

The teleportation crystal floated in front of Xia Zuo, releasing a bright light that enveloped him.

As the light faded, the office returned to its original state, and Christo's figure disappeared into the invisible ripples of magic.

Chapter 67 Crethogard

"Finally home!"

Xia Zuo floated directly into his home in the St. York community in the form of a cloud of air, lit up the living room chandelier with his wind hand, stretched comfortably, brewed himself a cup of hot tea, and then lay comfortably on the sofa.

When Adanavardos announced that Hillenburg's team had won the bid, the Golden Finger sent out a reward message.

Now I finally have time to take a look.

"The host has successfully completed the research and development of the large-scale bionic human body research and development project - the bionic lung component. This component accounts for 37% of the contribution. Affected by multiple identity bonuses, a total of 8700 experience points have been gained."

...

[Level] Lv.33

[Experience] 14400/15000

...

Wow~ Just one successful bid gave me a huge amount of experience!

The intensive research and development over the past month has only yielded five or six thousand experience points.

Is participating in large-scale R&D projects the most efficient way to gain experience and upgrade one's skills?

Xia Zuo stood up from the sofa and paced excitedly around the living room, rubbing his hands together. He considered whether he should visit the academy and the alchemist association more often, look for similar research and development projects, try to participate, and earn some reward experience from winning bids.

Xia Zuo glanced at his character template; he had less than 600 points left before leveling up...

As for the eight-dimensional attributes...

...

[Strength] 12.5

[Agile] 12.5

[Endurance] 12.5

[Vitality] 100

[Perception] 13

[Willpower] 14

[Mental State] 26

【Charm】13(9)

...

After nearly two months of underwater operations, strength, endurance, and perception have improved significantly, with charm becoming the only drawback.

Xia Zuo's own charm attribute value remained at 9 points, and did not increase despite obtaining the identity of a master-level poison alchemist.

Janice's charm attribute value increased slightly, with 30% of that value added to Anjou's charm attribute value, reaching 13 points.

Xia Zuo shared his Charm attribute with Anruer through the [Blood Relative] relationship, so he now has 13 points of Charm.

Xia Zuo plans to hold back for another one to two months, train his strength, agility, and endurance to 13 points, and then upgrade.

He made up his mind, first taking a hot shower, and then entering deep meditation, using the method of transcribing knowledge to quickly consume experience, leaving enough room for the next large-scale acquisition of experience.

...

The evaluation of the large-scale bionic human body research and development project lasted for nearly half a month. After that, the entire project entered the break-in phase.

Each group should continuously provide feedback on its improvement progress, accept guidance from the liaison officer, and discuss feedback from other groups to ensure that the research and development results of each group can be harmoniously combined with those of other groups.

This was an extremely time-consuming and patience-testing phase that lasted for two whole months, only ending when Anru finished her studies.

Shazo and Hillenburg modified the Demon Whale Zero again and again, changing the model from v0.0.1 to v1.0.0, and finally obtained the Demon Whale 1, which could perfectly fit the alchemical bionic human body.

Xia Zuo was also ready to secretly inscribe the Blood Pattern Secret Contract, just waiting for Christo to create the conditions for him to begin inscribing it.

It was Saturday morning.

Xia Zuo was strolling around the newly opened amusement park in Poseidon City with Anru and Janice.

The secret communication ring in the alchemy pocket is moving.

Xia Zuo reached out and touched the jade ring. The slight vibration told him that Christo's command had arrived.

Xia Zuo looked up at the Ferris wheel gondola and spoke to Anruer using his communication ring:

'I have to go to the outer hall now. The Demon Whale 1 needs some modifications. I'll be back tonight.'

"Okay~ I'll take Janice out for lunch later before going back," Anjou replied.

Xia Zuo waved his arms toward the gondola and said goodbye to Janice, who was clinging to the window. After Anru said something to her, the little girl also raised her hand and waved downwards.

Xia Zuo walked to a secluded corner, cast Windwalk, and flew towards the teleportation room of the Boshin Building.

...

Inside Christo's office.

"The team to install bionic bodies on Nexat is assembling, Shazo."

Christo took a cloth bundle from her sleeve and said:

"I've assigned you the role of an installation team operator. Change into these clothes first."

Xia Zuo took the clothes, unfolded them, and examined them. It was a beige bodysuit, slightly looser than the poison-refining leather robe, which could cover the wearer from head to toe.

After putting it on, Xia Zuo looked at the full-length mirror in the office. His face was covered by a layer of hazy mist, and underneath the mist was a black mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly.

The loose design of the smocks makes it impossible to discern the wearer's body shape, effectively protecting the identities of the installation team members.

Christo took out an earring and had Shazo put it on his ear. "This is an improved coded communication device. It can convert received coded messages into weak vibrations, which, through a vibration coil developed by the Department of Exotic Objects, will produce a sound that only you can hear. I will use it to tell you when to make your move."

Xia Zuo raised his eyebrows high under the mask, looking curiously at the earring in his hand... Isn't this a headset?

It turns out that the Temple had already developed a remote audio communication device, so why didn't they make something like a telephone widely available to the public, and instead only allowed federal citizens to use the secret communication ring?

And... now that we have audio devices and image spheres, developing a television shouldn't be too difficult, right?

Suppressing her doubts, Xia Zuo removed her mask and pretended to examine the earrings from all angles as if she were seeing them for the first time. Finally, under Christo's guidance, she put the earring on her right ear.

Christo crossed her arms and held them to her chest, her fingers rubbing together gently. A secret communication ring flew out from her sleeve, and her slender wind hand quickly flicked the dial on the ring.

Then, Xia Zuo heard a voice in his ear that was devoid of emotion and whose gender was difficult to discern:

"Can you hear the secret message I'm sending?"

“Okay,” Xia Zuo nodded.

“Very good.” Christo nodded slightly and continued to manipulate the coded ring.

"In the installation team, all members except you are elemental puppets controlled by the inner or outer sanctum."
