Chapter 146: Rare Treasures: The Missionary's Slavery Bit
As the shelter's security door tightly closed and the defensive systems activated, Yu Yuan's nerves, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed.
Immediately afterward, a surge of wild joy rose from deep within his heart. After disengaging Mie Mie's equipment state and adding fresh grass for it, he immediately took off his own gear and began sorting through the gains from this expedition.
However, before that, he still entered the Starry Sky Observatory to check the situation at the Black Shield Police Department.
Looking at the police headquarters building with its tight, layered defenses inside and out, and the constantly patrolling vehicles, Yu Yuan knew that starting today, the entire eastern city had completely descended into chaos.
Returning to the shelter, Yu Yuan opened the Virtual Light Screen to begin examining the gains from this trip.
First was the prompt information obtained after killing Green Robe and eliminating the Bronze-tier [Slaughter Card].
Just as Yu Yuan had previously guessed, killing a target with a special status like Green Robe did indeed trigger a prompt for a value option.
After eliminating the Bronze-tier [Slaughter Card], the Fate Points in Yu Yuan's hand had accumulated to 4. After consuming two points, he obtained a horse bit with reins attached.
The bit was also engraved with a circle of thorn-like patterns.
[The Missionary's Enslavement Bit]Quality: Rare Treasure
Owner: Yu Yuan
Functions:
① Can enslave one creature, completely controlling its body and mind.
② The enslaved creature can transform between its original form and the reins.
③ When using this item to enslave a creature, one [Fate Card - Conquest] with a tier not exceeding the creature's grade can be eliminated.
(Helpful Tip: The target needs to be in a non-resisting state before it can be enslaved.)
"This item is quite interesting!" Yu Yuan looked at the horse bit with reins in his hand.
Most crucially, it could eliminate Fate Cards just like the [Starry Sky Mirror], and it targeted the most troublesome type—Conquest Cards.
Although it didn't have the effect of constructing Rare Treasure buildings, this single feature alone was enough to demonstrate its value.
"This item shouldn't be used hastily. I must find a way to maximize its utility!"
Putting the item away into the Rabbit Ring, Yu Yuan took out the wooden box Alpha had given him before leaving.
Opening it, inside was a purple crystal about the size of a fingernail.
[Salamander Core]
Type: Spiritual Organ
Trait: Regeneration
Introduction: This organ concentrates a rather special type of spiritual energy. Perhaps you can find a way to utilize this energy.
This was the spiritual organ that had condensed within Loris's body after he injected the Genetic Modification Serum.
Although this crystal appeared utterly unremarkable, Yu Yuan didn't underestimate it in the slightest. Instead, he carefully placed it back into the box for safekeeping.
Next were the most important trophies obtained from the underground laboratory this time: one [X-series Animal Mutation Serum] and three [R-series Genetic Modification Serums].
All four serums were Rare-tier items.
The Animal Mutation Serum was a Mammalian Mutation Serum, only usable for injection into mammals.
The three Genetic Modification Serums were respectively: [Python - Mating Enhancement, Body Softness Enhancement, Cold-blooded Animal Enhancement]; [Brown Bear - Strength Enhancement, Fur Thickening Enhancement]; [Eagle Owl - Night Vision Enhancement, Neck Rotation 270 Degrees Enhancement].
Without a doubt, the effects of all three Genetic Modification Serums were quite powerful.
Especially the Python Genetic Modification Serum, which possessed three enhancement abilities.
However, Yu Yuan had absolutely no intention of using them himself.
The reality was that although injecting this type of Genetic Modification Serum would grant decent special abilities, the corresponding side effects were also significant.
The body would undergo some peculiar changes, to the point where one could no longer be considered human, only a biochemical modified entity.
Take the Eagle Owl Genetic Modification Serum, for example. After injection, the neck could rotate 270 degrees, which truly exceeded Yu Yuan's psychological tolerance.
Putting other factors aside, just the enhancement abilities brought to him by the two titles, [Neighborhood Rat] and [Neighborhood Shadow], far surpassed these Genetic Modification Serums.
Not to mention, there were also the attribute bonuses from equipping Mie Mie.
With such comparisons, Yu Yuan naturally looked down on these modification serums with severe side effects.
Excluding the two serums required for the [Regional Event] mission tasks, the remaining two Genetic Modification Serums still shouldn't be wasted.
Yu Yuan thought for a moment. There were only two possible directions: either sell them to other players. Even if Yu Yuan looked down on these Genetic Modification Serums, other players would definitely covet them. Even if top-ranked players disdained them, among players ranked 6000 and below, they would absolutely be treasures that caused a sensation. With so many players, Yu Yuan didn't believe that none of them could offer something good in exchange.
However, this approach also carried a hidden danger: the possibility of aiding the enemy. This risk was unavoidable.
The other direction was to have the [Jackal] team use them. However, Yu Yuan wasn't too keen on letting them transform into non-human states either.
He placed the serums back into the Insulated Box.
"There are still a few days left before the Newbie Protection Period ends. I'll decide based on the situation then!"
From what Yu Yuan currently understood, he was already certain that only after the Newbie Protection Period would he begin to touch the true face of this wasteland game.
"Now, the [Regional Event] only has two requirements left: the details of the religious ritual process and its hidden secrets. I hope nothing unexpected happens to Mona!"
Yu Yuan silently prayed in his heart.
The gains from this operation had basically all been tallied. Only the corpse of that White-tailed Kite, still in the Rabbit Ring, and the few computers obtained from the [Human Live Experiments Laboratory] remained unprocessed.
But he couldn't possibly process a corpse inside the shelter. The Escape Key's daily stay time had also been exhausted today. He could only wait until tomorrow to perform the dissection and collection.
The same logic applied to the computers. Who knew if they contained something like a signal transmitter once powered on?
These potentially hazardous items could only be operated on safely within the Motel Main Guest Room.
After a day of running around, Yu Yuan entered the Bathroom to take a shower. By the time he finished, it was already evening.
He temporarily had no plans to go out exploring. During this special period, staying still was wiser than moving.
His objective had already been achieved. All he needed to do next was continue waiting for opportunities.
He went to the Kitchen to start preparing today's dinner.
After a day of running around, he was already ravenous.
The Bountiful Vegetable Basket had refreshed today's ingredients, which turned out to be two apples. Yu Yuan picked up an apple and started munching on it.
As he took a bite, the plump, abundant juice spread throughout Yu Yuan's mouth. The apple's unique fresh fragrance immediately filled his entire oral cavity.
He had never thought apples could taste this good. He took bite after bite without stopping.
In no time at all, he easily polished off one apple.
He carefully collected the apple seeds.
The remaining apple was cut into small pieces by Yu Yuan. After similarly collecting the apple seeds, he carried the apple pieces over to Mie Mie.
"Snack time for Mie Mie!"
Mie Mie's nose twitched. Upon smelling the apple's scent, its eyes brightened slightly, and it immediately started eating.
Clearly, it really liked the taste of apple.
It ate while its nose kept twitching incessantly...
