Chapter 103: [Intelligence Card - Omen]
The sea turtle in the video was definitely a Spiritual Creature, Yu Yuan was certain of this.
This was also his first time witnessing how Spiritual Creatures fought.
He opened the second folder to check the situation with the green-haired seaweed.
However, what he saw was an experimental video, with the experimental environment being quite crude.
A middle-aged man's voice sounded.
["Green-haired seaweed is a rare type of seaweed we discovered in the Breaker Sea. Experiments have currently proven it has effects of rapidly healing wounds and quickly restoring stamina."]
A man tied to an operating table appeared in the video. As a sharp knife cut across his skin and blood flowed, a roughly ten-centimeter-long wound had already appeared on the man's arm.
The man also let out pained screams, but the experimenters paid no attention to his cries.
Instead, they took out a glass bottle, poured some light green mucus from it, and applied it to the wound area. What happened next shocked the man.
That ten-centimeter-long wound, after being coated with the mucus, rapidly closed up under the mucus's effect, with the cut skin and muscles visibly beginning to heal.In less than a minute, that ten-centimeter-long wound had completely healed, leaving only a faint pink mark visible on the arm.
Yu Yuan unconsciously sat up straighter.
"This thing..."
Before his confusion could settle, the voice in the video spoke again.
["This mucus is extracted from the green-haired seaweed's body. Its therapeutic effects are immediate... and its edible value is equally astonishing..."]
Watching the survival experiments continuing in the video, Yu Yuan's breathing became increasingly rapid.
["These are all the gains from this island expedition. The Nizi Water Arrow Turtle eggs and green-haired seaweed samples will be shipped back with this batch of goods. Also being shipped back are collected seawater samples and sand samples.
With these materials, we might be able to cultivate our own Nizi Water Arrow Turtles and green-haired seaweed. The insulated boxes can minimize the samples' growth frequency, maintaining sufficient vitality for thirty days.
Additionally, on the other side of the island, we discovered signs of human activity, and in considerable numbers. It's suspected that other forces have also discovered this place, requiring headquarters support..."]
The video ended, and Yu Yuan finally understood the whole story.
He went to the two alloy insulated boxes, gently touched their surfaces, then carefully placed them in the warehouse, specifically clearing out a space for them.
"Thirty days for the insulated boxes to maintain sufficient sample vitality—these alloy insulated boxes are no ordinary items either! Subtracting their sea transport time, twenty days should be a relatively safe timeframe. I must build the incubation nest and cultivation tank within twenty days."
Looking at the construction requirements for the two facilities in the Shelter's Facility Management Log, Yu Yuan opened the virtual map, searching for places where these supplies might be found.
After a long while, Yu Yuan closed the Virtual Light Screen.
He recorded the information that the Nizi Water Arrow Turtles and green-haired seaweed were discovered in the Breaker Sea in the Shelter Memo.
Only then did he realize that, without noticing, time had already reached 4 AM.
He felt quite alert mentally, checked the incubation progress of the mealworm eggs—the Shelter's current temperature was 27 degrees Celsius, exactly at the optimal incubation temperature for mealworms.
These eggs had been brought back from Dale about two days ago. Looking closely, Yu Yuan could already see some extremely tiny larvae moving in the wheat bran.
"Huh... they've hatched!"
This was a good sign. Although the number currently hatched was small, according to Dale, by tomorrow at the latest these eggs should almost all be hatched.
And by then, he could also obtain a batch of already-hatched mealworm larvae from Dale.
With this experience, he could cultivate mealworms himself in the future.
Returning to the rest area, he sat in the Boss Chair and checked Taotao Hole, wanting to see if there were any supplies he needed.
Soon, his attention was caught by one particular product.
——50 pounds of Rotted Pine Needle Soil
Price: 300 survival points
Yu Yuan's eyes lit up, immediately clicking to complete the transaction.
After retrieving the item from the mailbox, it was indeed a whole bag of packaged Humus Soil. He placed the Humus Soil in front of the escape door.
"I'll ask Dale about planting techniques and methods tomorrow before doing anything!"
The seeds were precious, he couldn't afford to waste them on experimentation.
After purchasing some other supplies, Yu Yuan took out his lock picking tools and headed toward the safe.
Continuing his great lock picking endeavor.
Time passed slowly within the Shelter. Mie Mie, after eating, rested on her own.
Only the slight sound of picking lock pins could be heard in the Shelter.
Greenwood Port, Greenwood Southern District.
Inside the Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
"So you think the Aurora Animal Assistance Association stole our goods?"
Carlos looked at the two men behind him, his deep eyes seeming ready to devour someone.
"Chairman, this is the only possibility we can think of."
"After all..." The speaker was precisely the Thug who had previously driven the speedboat pursuing Yu Yuan.
"They're already a bunch of lunatics. They've scavenged all the animals in the entire Green Forest City. I heard that a few days ago, some scavengers killed two wolves that escaped from the zoo, and as a result, the entire street of scavengers was slaughtered by them."
"With a peculiar creature like the Nizi Water Arrow Turtle, if they knew about it, they definitely wouldn't let it go. And there are rumors that they've actually been conducting animal experiments all along...."
The room remained silent for a long time before a voice sounded again.
"Go investigate first! If they really did it, then chop off the claws they've extended!" The sinister-looking man's gaze was icy: "Although they have good relations with the Black Shield Police Department, right now the Black Shield Police Department can't even protect itself!"
"Yes!" The Thug answered in response.
"By the way, have we confirmed and found the person who attacked us the day before yesterday?"
"Chairman, we already have leads, we're investigating...!"
Ding ding ding.....
The alarm rang within the Shelter. Yu Yuan stopped his movements—he only felt like a short time had passed, yet it was already 6 AM.
"I feel much more proficient this time. I should be able to open this safe soon."
Good news lifts the spirits—Yu Yuan felt his mood was quite good.
Getting up, he went outside the Shelter to check the materials that appeared in today's Resource Recycling Trash Can. As a result, no vegetable seeds appeared again, only two pieces of linen cloth refreshed.
After storing the linen in the warehouse, he went to the Magazine Display Stand to check today's newspaper.
At first glance, he spotted that earthy yellow card next to the newspaper. Yu Yuan picked up the card.
After spending 500 survival points to purchase it, the card's information appeared before him. It was a Rock quality [Omen Card].
[Intelligence Card——Omen]
Quality: Pebble-tier
Function: Using this card will allow you to see a segment of fate-related imagery concerning a designated event within the next day.
"Huh? This function... is quite powerful! Isn't this basically precognition!"
He stored the card in the Book of Fate. This card's utility was no less than the Inside Information Card.
Picking up today's newspaper, he looked at the news. As a result, when he finished reading the first headline, his gaze froze momentarily before revealing a smile.
"What a coincidence, we're thinking the same thing!"
(Brothers, three chapters served up today!)
