Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Blood Poison Moth Evolution Experiment (Part 2)
If the Sunflower King hadn’t absorbed the blood mist energy from them in time, these three Hundred-Change Silkworms might have exploded and died.
In that case, Ye Bai’s pet beast evolution experiment would end in failure, and he wouldn’t be able to choose suitable Hundred-Change Silkworms to continue the experiment in the short term.
Unexpectedly, after the beast tide, the Sunflower King absorbed an unknown amount of essence of flesh and blood and actually mastered such a special blood-sucking ability.
Ye Bai unexpectedly saw the blood-sucking skill in the Sunflower King’s skill bar.
Blood-sucking (Beginner): Restores one’s physical strength by absorbing the opponent’s blood.
Although the introduction was brief, Ye Bai felt this skill was extraordinary after the Sunflower King used it.
After all, whose blood-sucking skill could prevent a pet beast’s self-destruction?
A few days ago, the Sunflower King didn’t have this skill, but today it suddenly appeared.
It can only be said that the Pet Beast World is too complicated for Ye Bai to grasp.
This side can show that the ways pet beasts learn skills are varied and bizarre.
However, Ye Bai’s focus is now on the experiment.
"Which key step exactly went wrong?"
Ye Bai felt the biggest problem lay in the Tier Four Exotic Beast meat.
Because of the Tier Four Exotic Beast meat, the entire ratio of the evolution material was incorrect.
So should the number of Blood Cores and the weight of the Spiritual Crystal Cores be increased correspondingly?
The Eye of Insight provided the evolutionary path and evolution materials when Ye Bai used Tier Two Exotic Beast meat.
But the Eye of Insight didn’t give a specific amount of Exotic Beast meat to use, which is probably the key factor affecting the success rate.
Although using Tier Two Exotic Beast meat can allow the Hundred-Change Silkworm to successfully evolve into a Blood Poison Moth, Ye Bai speculated that the Blood Poison Moth evolved this way would only be a Tier Two pet beast.
Using Tier Four Exotic Beast meat should allow the Blood Poison Moth to break through to Tier Three.
The strength difference between Tier Two and Tier Three pet beasts is naturally self-evident.
To verify if his guess was correct,
Ye Bai adjusted the ratio of the Blood Core and the Spiritual Crystal Core, planning to continue the experiment.
The Blood Core activates the genes inside the Hundred-Change Silkworm, making the Blood Poison Moth’s genes begin to become active.
The Spiritual Crystal Core lets the Hundred-Change Silkworm suppress the chaotic consciousness and energy of the Blood Core.
And the High Tier Exotic Beast meat provides powerful energy, allowing the Hundred-Change Silkworm to break through the class bottleneck.
According to this experimental thinking, it shouldn’t be wrong.
But the repeated failures left Ye Bai wondering where he went wrong.
When the Sunflower King once again suppressed the self-destruction trend of the Hundred-Change Silkworms, it was already ten o’clock at night.
Ye Bai was also famished at this time. He didn’t feel hungry while doing the experiment, but once he relaxed, he was starving.
He looked up at the clock and smiled wryly, realizing it was already that late.
The food Big Gray brought over had been reheated several times without him knowing.
At this moment, it looked at Ye Bai worriedly; just now, Ye Bai was truly frightening.
He acted like he was possessed, conducting experiments repeatedly.
This couldn’t help but remind Big Gray of the days in the laboratory in the past.
Since breaking the Life Curse, Big Gray’s lost memories had gradually returned.
Ye Bai looked up to see Big Gray’s worried expression, and his heart softened.
He hugged Big Gray, feeling its furry coat.
Soft and cotton-like, with a pleasant floral scent, like the Sun.
"Big Gray, don’t worry, I’m fine."
"I just got too absorbed just now."
"I won’t do that again in the future."
Ye Bai buried his head in Big Gray’s belly, and a muffled voice came from within.
Failure is the mother of success, and these batches of failed data are quite precious.
At this moment, Zhang Lingxue walked in enthusiastically, and when she saw Ye Bai still in the lab, she was very curious.
She had confirmed that the Essence of Blood and the Spiritual Core were useful for Principal Zhang.
She even drew a tube of blood specifically for testing in the laboratory.
Upon learning that Ye Bai was a bit disheartened after conducting over a dozen sets of experiments without achieving the expected results, Zhang Lingxue smiled.
"Ye Bai, do you know how long it took me to evolve a Hundred-Change Silkworm into a Light Goddess Butterfly?"
"It took me a whole three years to discover a successful evolutionary path."
"During which I conducted countless experiments, repeating them over and over, sometimes unable to persist."
"But my scientific spirit didn’t allow me to give up like that."
"When I wasn’t experimenting, I would repeatedly review my failed experiment records, searching for a breakthrough."
"Every time I had an inspiration or the experiment made progress, I would be thrilled. This is probably the joy of research."
"Almost all researchers go through the same process."
Zhang Lingxue said with emotion, looking at the laboratory’s bright light.
"Everyone praises me as the youngest professor, and I am so beautiful standing under the incandescent lights."
"But it was all due to my relentless experimentation day and night."
"And many researchers are still forging ahead alone; the path of a researcher is destined to be lonely."
Zhang Lingxue’s words greatly moved Ye Bai.
"Actually, in the teacher’s eyes, the talent of being Unforgettable is as important as the Eye of Insight; both are top-notch talents for research."
"Being rated as a D-level talent for being Unforgettable is somewhat modest."
"Awakening the talent of being Unforgettable means you have strong spiritual power, enabling you to quickly find the flaws in experiments compared to ordinary people."
"Just like after your reminder, my Dark Butterfly evolved successfully."
"The Hundred-Change Silkworm also gained an additional evolutionary path."
"So the teacher warns you that if you want to be a researcher and pursue this path."
"You are destined to accept failure and find a shortcut to success through it."
"That is the true meaning of research."
"Alright, it’s late, you should head back and rest early."
Zhang Lingxue put on her lab coat and safety glasses, enclosing herself entirely.
The Light Goddess Butterfly even lowered a protective light circle over Zhang Lingxue.
"I need to test something which might be dangerous, so you should head back and rest first."
"Once I’m done with the testing, I’ll have the Light Goddess Butterfly use the Purification Skill to avoid unknown risks."
Ye Bai understood Zhang Lingxue’s meaning.
He left with Big Gray and the Sunflower King.
The three Hundred-Change Silkworms were sleeping soundly on the laboratory’s isolated experiment platform, so Ye Bai didn’t bother with them.
Zhang Lingxue took out Principal Zhang’s blood and conducted a deep blood analysis, finally discovering the reason.
