Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Chapter 293: Essential Knowledge [Blood Brew Recipe], Secret Information Regarding the [Blood Duke]

"Zhi Zhi."

At Yu Yuan's mental call, Zhi Zhi's consciousness appeared in Yu Yuan's mental sea, opening its mouth wide and swallowing the cluster of hidden fragments shrouded in a light net.

These fragments of hidden knowledge, filled with taboos, madness, and pollution, were swallowed whole by Zhi Zhi. Immediately after, Yu Yuan's mind echoed with a series of crackling, crunching sounds.

It was like...

The sound of chewing potato chips, crisp and crunchy...

Yu Yuan could even hear an extremely faint, unwilling wail of anguish.

The entire process was over in an instant, less than a second. In the eyes of Doctor and the others, it was just the blink of an eye for Yu Yuan.

"Fang should be fine now, but Doctor, you should still give her a check-up!" Yu Yuan looked at the group.

"Understood!" Doctor replied immediately.

Doctor, Masier, and Dale immediately stepped forward to support Fang, helping her towards the Spiritual Creature Laboratory upstairs.There were sufficient facilities there to conduct a full physical examination of Fang.

Meanwhile, Yu Yuan had already taken the Rare Artifact pen from Fang's hand.

He also saw the text written on the desk in Fang's notebook, which was exactly that piece of forbidden, hidden knowledge Yu Yuan had just purified.

Yu Yuan originally intended to destroy this text to prevent others from being affected again.

But after a moment's thought, he folded the information, stuffed it into a metal cigarette case, and stored it inside the Rabbit Ring.

Zhi Zhi also appeared on Yu Yuan's shoulder. The moment it appeared, it let out a comfortable, satisfied burp.

"Zhi zhi...."

Seeing Zhi Zhi's contented look, Yu Yuan smiled.

Only then did he remember that due to the urgent situation earlier, he hadn't dismissed the equipment from Mie Mie.

Dismiss Mie Mie's equipment, free activity.

Yu Yuan then focused his attention on the purified, refined knowledge that had appeared in his mind.

[Blood Brew Recipe]

Type: Alcoholic Beverage

Usage Condition: Possess brewing facilities

Recipe: Fresh Spiritual Creature Blood 200L, Spiritual Organ ×5, Spices.....

"It's actually a beverage recipe..."

Yu Yuan hadn't expected that such a recipe nearly caused Fang to have an accident.

However, perhaps because too much of the hidden content was filtered out, the grade of this recipe couldn't be determined.

Having Zhi Zhi merge with his shadow, Yu Yuan asked:

"From the hidden knowledge you devoured, was there any useful information?"

As a being that feeds on secrets, the Stealth Rat itself represents the hidden. Knowledge that is extremely dangerous to others is merely a tasty little snack in its mouth.

Yu Yuan guessed this might be related to the Stealth Rat absorbing his blood during its promotion.

Hearing Yu Yuan's question, Zhi Zhi immediately said:

"These secrets are related to an entity called [Blood Duke]. This hidden knowledge carries the spiritual imprint of the [Blood Duke], possessing intense spiritual radiation and contamination.

They will corrupt the biological individuals who acquire this hidden knowledge, spiritually transforming their bodies until they become monsters. However..."

Zhi Zhi organized its thoughts and continued: "The introduction about this Blood Brew is quite miraculous. Long-term consumption of this Blood Brew may awaken psychic abilities related to blood. Even for those who have already awakened psychic abilities, long-term consumption can enhance their psychic ability level and effects."

"However, the recipe you obtained, Master, has been purified and refined. I'm not clear on the specific effects anymore. I suppose it needs to be produced to find out."

Hearing Zhi Zhi's words, Yu Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

It could actually allow people to awaken psychic abilities and even enhance psychic ability levels and effects.

"This Blood Brew must be produced to see the specific effects."

However, the requirement of 200L of fresh spiritual blood and numerous other materials for production was no small demand.

The requirement for fresh spiritual blood was also quite difficult to manage. Generally, spiritual creature blood only has a three-day shelf life.

Once it exceeds three days, that blood no longer qualifies as fresh spiritual creature blood.

This was also a factor that had to be considered. However, Yu Yuan possessed a previously acquired Rare Artifact, the [Baptized Marching Canteen].

One of its effects is to maintain any liquid placed inside the canteen in the exact state it was when poured in.

That could indeed solve this problem.

But the source of fresh spiritual blood... Yu Yuan thought of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association again.

And the mutation technology they possessed that could transform ordinary creatures into spiritual creatures.

"What a great organization..."

In Yu Yuan's mind, the value of the Aurora Animal Assistance Association was still rising.

However...

What exactly was this [Blood Duke]?

"Zhi Zhi, is the Blood Duke a member of the Blood Clan?"

"I don't know..." Zhi Zhi also seemed somewhat confused.

"There was no other content in that hidden information, but I sensed chaos and disorder from those secrets..."

"I see."

Yu Yuan kept this in mind.

Arriving at the underground second floor, Doctor was already conducting the physical examination on Fang.

"How is she?" Yu Yuan asked.

"The situation is stable for now. However, the earlier incident caused some damage to her body. For example, her eyeballs suffered severe congestion from the rapid, consecutive flashes earlier, and her heart rate is also somewhat too fast..."

As Doctor reported the situation, Yu Yuan also looked at Fang's status information in the Commander System.

The physical status showed congestion and contusions in multiple tissues.

The mental status simply showed unconsciousness.

Seeing this, Yu Yuan's heart settled. If these were the only issues, it could already be considered extremely fortunate.

Having Fang use the [Pen of Longstanding Heritage] to accumulate writing time was Yu Yuan's idea.

After all, his own energy was truly limited; he simply couldn't spare dedicated time every day just to write.

Although Fang's work involved computer-recorded information, there was still a part that couldn't be separated from writing. Naturally, Fang became the most suitable candidate to use this Rare Artifact.

Yu Yuan's thinking had been simple. He had always assumed the so-called information revealed by this pen would be related to doctors or experiments.

After all, that was the scene with the longest heritage associated with the pen.

He never expected the first piece of miraculous information revealed by this pen to give him such a fright.

If anything had happened to Fang, it would have been a tremendous loss for Yu Yuan.

Not just because of Fang's intelligence-gathering talent and her role within the [Jackal] team.

The simple fact that she would absolutely never betray him was reason enough for Yu Yuan to never wish for anything to happen to her.

At this moment, Yu Yuan was immensely grateful that his psychic ability was [Cured but Still Drooling].

When saving Fang, using [Diagnosis: Amnesia] was just a flash of inspiration for Yu Yuan.

But looking back now, he realized this ability was indeed the best treatment method for dealing with such unexpected incidents.

Simple, fast, effective.

What treatment method could be more thorough than directly clearing such contaminating hidden knowledge from one's mind!

With the source of contamination gone, the crisis was naturally resolved.

Yu Yuan once again confirmed his previous viewpoint.

There are no useless abilities; it just depends on whether you've found the right way to use them.

Some strange abilities, when used in the right place, can be nothing short of miraculous.

But just as Yu Yuan scanned the talent column following Fang's status attributes, he froze.

"This is..."
