Chapter 1203 - 935: Making the Most of Everything
During this period, Jiang Yuan was making incense and paper crafts, while pondering how to exploit the undead anomalies to their fullest potential.
Watching those zombie movies back then, he felt anxious for the living characters.
With such advanced technological means, all they did was relentlessly kill the living, not knowing how to utilize the perpetual, free labor force, which was a disgrace to the term capitalist.
Zombies only had two ways to kill: biting or scratching.
For the former, just extract their teeth and dislocate their jaws; for the latter, chop off their hands. These entities don’t sleep, rest, eat, or demand wages, and tying them to a millstone is far better than using a donkey!
Since the plan to domesticate anomalies was feasible, the next step was to consider how to make the most of them.
The main problem was that the polluting ability of these anomalies was too strong, and even paper crafts would get contaminated in their environment. Additionally, there was one thing Jiang couldn’t figure out—where exactly did the anomaly’s power come from?
How could they manage to consume plain rice and pickled vegetables three times a day and almost fully recover within ten days?
The energy from food was negligible, so could it be that even though the anomalies didn’t cultivate, they still absorbed the energy from the Ghost Realm with every breath? If given time, could they purify this polluted land?
"Senior, master, ancestor! If you want to kill, then make it quick, don’t just stare at me like that, okay?" Tian Kuo shivered, uncertain about what the other had in mind, having entered but said nothing, just stared blankly, leaving him insecure.
Despite Tian Kuo whispering to his brother about wanting to escape and possess someone, it was all just internal talk.
Seeing the fair, delicate-looking Evil Cultivator made his legs weak, constantly reminding him of the fear of being under complete control that day.
Tian Cheng was slightly tougher, snorting and turning his head aside, though he was still afraid of this guy inside.
"How is it? Aren’t they recovering fast?" The old master pouted, grumbling in dissatisfaction, "Every day they still cry about being thirsty and hungry, as if they can never be satisfied."
Jiang Yuan, puzzled, said, "That’s interesting. Since you and they are of the same kind, how did you manage to recover so well and quickly after suffering heavy damage without an Elixir?"
The other, with a self-satisfied smile, explained, "Anomalous power can’t be generated out of thin air; it naturally comes from the Creator God.
He created me, granting me the power to endlessly pollute the whole world.
Look at me now, Jiang. Where is there so much polluting aura? Therefore, my energy comes entirely from the Creator God, with his continuous replenishment allowing me to accomplish great deeds!
In other words, I developed a connection with the Creator God when becoming an anomaly, allowing me to receive his energy. And newly born anomalies from pollution also inherit this link; otherwise, the seemingly endless anomalous aura can’t be explained."
Jiang Yuan: !!!
It makes sense!
A tiny anomaly can only produce a dozen or so pieces; even if there’s a "virus," it couldn’t single-handedly pollute such a vast area. And new anomalies tainted by it instantly inherit polluting abilities, more like they share the energy source.
Hence, the system issued the slicing task, both to encourage me to actively eliminate safety hazards and to weaken the Outer Heaven Demon’s power?
"Hiss!" He gasped, thinking that if this speculation holds, the plan to domesticate anomalies becomes even more intriguing!
Next, the task is to confirm the hypothesis through experiments. As the idea brewed in his mind, a sudden inspiration struck, and Jiang Yuan came to a realization!
He knew what to make the anomalies do—of course, assign them to tackle dungeons!
Working within the polluted Ghost Realm, there’s no need to worry about them causing further contamination; being immortal, they can tackle monsters en masse, eventually depleting the monsters’ health bars; tasks like chopping trees and mining stones, which consume time and physical strength, should all be done by them.
Qing Niao’s team, for their practice, will delve into the specialized dungeons within the Lantian Domain ruins, not wasting a moment anywhere!
Thinking along these lines, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
After all, he already received over forty dungeon instances from Lord Sang, and planned to meet with other Lords, collecting money, acquiring another dozen or even hundreds of dungeons. With the aid of the anomaly army, perhaps even the World Tree’s branch dungeons could be easily cleared!
But this smile appeared terrifyingly sinister in the eyes of the Tian Clan twins.
"What do you plan on doing next?"
"We’ve handed over the Pill Formula and Cultivation Technique! You can’t go back on your word and kill us just to silence us!"
"People?" Jiang Yuan corrected with a smile, "First, you are no longer human; second, I indeed have no intention of killing you. Not only will I not kill you, but I also consider keeping you alive for a long time, given that you can do what you’re capable of for me."
The two brothers instantly thought of the old master they first turned to—if they could live leisurely as he did, eating and drinking freely, what harm is there in polluting others?
"I’m willing to follow the senior’s orders, as long as I’m spared," Tian Cheng immediately expressed, with Tian Kuo nodding enthusiastically after him, "Me too!"
Jiang Yuan nodded, "Very good, then let’s start by contributing slices."
Before he finished speaking, the Soul Hook launched!
A round of sudden, unguarded wailing and screaming echoed in the old master’s ears, sending chills down its spine, secretly grateful for knowing its place, or it would face such a fate.
