No strange things are allowed to evolve!

He himself didn't really mind, but Xue Wang and Wang Tiezhu seemed to mind, so he had to make some necessary concessions for the sake of team unity.

After doing all this, Jiang Shu hoisted his body back onto his shoulder.

Then he noticed that, apart from himself and Ba Wang, everyone else was struggling to walk.

Moreover, the Overlord didn't seem to be as relaxed as he was. The other man was barely maintaining his balance with one hand around his waist and the other hand holding his legs, while he only needed one hand to keep steady.

Is it because their base strength value is too low?

Although it is a level three evolver, it is affected by the hatchery, so it does not actually have an advantage in terms of stats compared to itself.

Jiang Shu thought to herself.

If it weren't for my own Great Wilderness Heart, and the fact that I hadn't been nerfed, perhaps...

Oh, no, I'm actually a numerical monster; in terms of basic stats, I'm a hexagonal warrior.

That's fine.

"Let me help you carry it." Seeing Little Bear Hard Candy struggling and dragging itself along with its legs, Jiang Shu couldn't stand it anymore. She lifted it by the neck, tossed it gently like a chick, and then steadily supported it with her other shoulder.

Little Gummy Bear was terrified by his wild movements: "Be careful, don't tear my neck off!"

"If it falls off, I'll take care of putting it back." Jiang Shu said dismissively, "I'm a professional."

After saying that, he looked at Xue Wang and Wang Tiezhu and said, "Do you need any help? If you don't mind, I can bring one more, and then the two of you can carry one."

"Uh... thank you, but no need."

The two politely declined Jiang Shu's offer.

Although it was indeed difficult, they didn't want their bodies to be treated so roughly, and...

She was only wrapped in a white cloth, and being hugged by a man made her feel a little embarrassed.

What's worse is that I was just watching as a bystander.

"Wow, that's impressive." Overlord looked Jiang Shu up and down in surprise: "I didn't realize your base strength was so high?"

The combined weight of Little Bear Hard Candy and Jiang Shu is more than his alone. Although he still has some energy left, he is definitely not as relaxed as Jiang Shu.

Moreover, given Jiang Shu's physique, this only proves that Jiang Shu's basic strength might even be higher than his.

"Your base strength must be at least 1.2 or 1.3, right?"

"More or less," Jiang Shu nodded.

Upon hearing this, Ba Wang nodded enviously: "The small frame will be really awesome after it's trained."

Snow King listened silently to their conversation, and his suspicion that Jiang Shu might be undergoing a trial at the Calamity level became even stronger.

If the base value is around 1.5, it's not impossible.

Just then, the sound of the scissors doll came.

"It's almost time, Master, what...what are you doing?"

His voice, which had been clenched, suddenly became rough.

He seemed a little frightened.

“We have them in our shop, and the quality is about the same, so you don’t need to bring them back specifically,” he said cautiously.

Clearly, he thought Jiang Shu was selling local specialties.

"This is our own body."

Jiang Shu calmly said:

“In my hometown, there’s a tradition that when you enter the palace, the body you cut off is put into the treasure room. You can redeem it after you make a name for yourself. I’m the owner of a creative workshop now, so I plan to take my body back with me.”

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Little Bear Muttered softly.

"Shh!" The Overlord glared at him.

"In principle, that won't work; after all, this is the PhD student's property..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Shu feigned anger: "Hmm?"

Seeing Jiang Shu's anger, the scissor doll was terrified and immediately changed its tune: "But you are a man of principle, so if you say it's okay, then it's okay!"

Jiang Shu suppressed her anger and nodded gently: "Then let someone come and move it in."

"Please wait a moment," the scissors doll replied. "Let me treat everyone first. This was just taken out of the freezer, and your bodies may experience problems due to the drastic temperature change."

"Hmm." Seeing that the scissors doll was so cooperative, Jiang Shu was very satisfied.

Having worked with corpses for many years and understanding their characteristics, the scissor doll quickly processed the other people's bodies.

But when it was Jiang Shu's turn...

"Um?!"

The scissors doll suddenly seemed to have discovered something incredible, exclaiming that it was a miracle.

"Master, your body... your body..."

"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at him in confusion.

"It wasn't affected by freezing at all!"

The scissors doll looked utterly incredulous.

"Although your bodies still retain vitality, your companions' blood is almost stopping flowing, but your body, even your heart is still beating strongly!"

"So you are the true higher life form!"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Creative Craftsmen

Liquid nitrogen.

An inert, colorless, odorless, low-viscosity, non-corrosive, non-flammable, and extremely low-temperature transparent liquid.

At normal pressure, nitrogen has a boiling point of -196.56℃. One cubic meter of liquid nitrogen can expand to 696 cubic meters of pure gaseous nitrogen. If pressure is applied, liquid nitrogen can be obtained at a higher temperature.

When Jiang Shu first came into contact with liquid nitrogen, he experienced a deeper sense of immersion than when he was swimming in winter.

As expected, his entire finger suffered severe frostbite, nearly becoming necrotic, and he almost had to have it amputated.

But he did not give up because of this; instead, he pushed himself even harder.

His goal was to be able to soak in liquid nitrogen and experience the thrill of hypothermia he felt during his first winter swimming experience.

His current limit is living comfortably in an environment of minus 91.8 degrees Celsius without wearing clothes.

Even if it were just a little colder, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it after two hours, even if he didn't feel the cold.

In fact, he could have broken the record again, but he didn't.

Because by then he had realized that his brain would not allow hallucinations caused by the same reason to occur a second time, just like that wonderful dream that had once made him feel so good.

Therefore, after hypothermia, he will immediately lose consciousness and will not see his grandmother like the little match girl.

So even if we were to take a bath with liquid nitrogen one day, we wouldn't feel any pleasure, right?

With this in mind, he went to find other pleasures.

"The temperature inside the freezer can freeze water solid in no time! You've been frozen for almost two days, and yet..."

The scissor doll stared at Jiang Shu in horror.

Jiang Shu's companions also looked at him as if he were a monster.

From the perspective of emphasizing the independence and stability of the objective world, this has a greater impact on them than Jiang Shu taking over the Creative Workshop.

How can this be explained?

"I am a person whose element is fire, and I am naturally resistant to cold."

Clearly, Jiang Shu was too lazy to explain.

"What kind of reason is this?!" Little Bear Gum exclaimed, unable to accept it. "Am I born in the year of the Wood element, or am I naturally resistant to wood?"

"Hard to say."

Jiang Shu was unwilling to waste time on such meaningless things.

"Once it's done, let's get someone to move it out quickly, it's almost past the deadline."

"Uh... um... okay, oh no, as you command." The scissor doll now showed a hint of fear in addition to its original respect for Jiang Shu.

In his view, Jiang Shu's unpredictability and extraordinary mystery are almost on par with those of a creative craftsman.

Five bodies were stuffed into the truck's large gizzard, and Jiang Shu and the others boarded the truck one after another.

The companions looked rather uneasy, as if they wanted to say something to Jiang Shu, but in the end they hesitated to speak.

As the doors closed, the carriage was plunged into darkness.

Listening to his companions' breathing and sensing the eerie atmosphere in the carriage, Jiang Shu felt somewhat helpless.

People are always afraid of things they cannot understand or that are unknown. He can understand this, just like when he first thought he had a secret that he couldn't tell others at a young age, he was also apprehensive for a while.

What he didn't understand was, since everyone is an evolved being, couldn't the acceptable limits be a little bit larger?

Is it really worth making such a fuss just because the physical body can be a little more active in an environment of minus ten degrees Celsius without the soul?

Is it a form of discrimination to not accept my differences from others with a normal mindset?

Thinking about this, he suddenly felt that his companions were a bit timid.

Just like in interpersonal relationships, it may take some time for a person to find a crush, but it often only takes an instant to demystify a crush.

While he was pondering this.

A strange feeling suddenly enveloped him.

It's so quiet around here.

Although I know that the truck is well soundproofed, people outside can talk loudly next to the truck bed and the people inside can't hear them.

But why can't I hear my companions breathing either?

"Snow King?"

Jiang Shu tentatively called out.

There was no response.

He reached out and touched his side.

Even the body that was originally close to me can no longer be touched.

"when..."

Just then, the truck suddenly stopped.

dong dong dong.

Someone knocked on the truck door.

"We've arrived."

It was an unfamiliar voice; Jiang Shu had no recollection of it whatsoever.

Furthermore, why could the other person's voice penetrate the carriage?

“A creative craftsman?” Jiang Shu asked.

"Very close."

The car door was slowly pulled open.

A blinding ray of light shone through the crack in the door onto Jiang Shu's face.

Jiang Shu only squinted slightly before getting used to the stinging sensation in her eyes.

Snow Queen's painting skills are indeed commendable; the appearance of the person in front of her is exactly the same as her portrait.

The white-bearded doll performed a courtly salute that Jiang Shu had never seen before.

"I am that lord's servant, and that lord wishes to see you."

Behind it was a palace that shouldn't be in a castle.

Jiang Shu looked back in the light from outside the door; the carriage was empty except for him.

Although there are some discrepancies, there is indeed a connection.
