Chapter 1034: Chapter 532: Crude Embryo Preparation and Its Difficulties
These two abilities... are quite mediocre, I suppose.
Li Ming mumbled, as Genetic Mixologists were born alongside the path of Genetic Seed evolution, but the genetic evolution path stops at X Level.
The most powerful Genetic Seed Blender, like Sheffieldâs level, doesnât have anything like the Mechanic or the Holy Spirit Civilization to pursue.
This means that the Control System can be elevated to a professional level, but itâs bound to be below this level.
"Forget it, Iâll just research it myself in the future... it only wastes a bit of time..." Li Ming pondered, "For now, I still have to rely on Sheffield."
Meanwhile, the skills they were honing here, the analysis of the Taigos corpse, were almost complete.
Sheffield was reviewing the report, with his brow furrowed as if he had encountered a problem. After looking it over several times, he sighed and said helplessly:
"Lord Azure Dragon, Iâm afraid Iâm powerless."
"Powerless?" Li Ming raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"Sigh..." Sheffield sighed again, "The Star Beast you provided has an exceedingly high genetic strength, and hardly any material can assist in stabilizing it."
Li Ming was slightly startled, as the knowledge that had just surged into his mind suddenly surfaced.
Mixing a Genetic Seed can be broadly divided into three steps: extracting the genes, stripping the gene fragments, and finally compounding them into a seed.
The gene instincts of High-level Life Forms are unparalleled and must be stabilized with various other materials to ensure that the mixing process goes smoothly.
But Taigos is overwhelmingly strong and difficult to stabilize.
"In fact, I would suggest that you consider trading this corpse with the Three Civilizations." Sheffield proposed, "Within the Three Civilizations, they definitely have ordinary Star Beasts in stock."
"The research value of this corpse is high, and they wonât refuse."
"Trade something powerful for something that isnât?" Li Ming frowned and questioned.
"Actually, thereâs no need to strive for perfection..." Sheffield explained, "This Star Beastâs genetic strength is very high, and if the mixing and fusion succeed, the power transition will surpass the current level, with development progress and energy level ratio likely reaching one to three."
"But this is just the beginning. If you walk the Ultimate Path, the X Gene Seeds you find wonât always have such high strength; itâs unnecessary."
Li Ming remained silent. He is different from others; he wouldnât walk any Ultimate Path or fuse more Genetic Seeds.
And that tiny bit of perfection, after the expansion of the Control System, would yield significant benefits.
Due to the vast gap between X Level Life Forms and Ultimate Life Forms, he was somewhat skeptical about whether he could rival Ultimate Life Forms after promotion.
Naturally, perfection is needed to ensure reaching the level he wants.
"Iâm not considering the trade." He shook his head in denial.
Sheffield was helpless; this pursuit of perfection is common at lower levels, but at this level, having options is already good, and thereâs no room for nitpicking.
"But, as for this Star Beast, I really canât..." Sheffield hesitated.
"I remember, itâs possible to mix without stabilization, right?" Li Ming interjected.
"Without stabilization?" Sheffield frowned and recalled that last time when mixing the S Level Genetic Seed for Azure Dragon, they didnât perform the final stabilizing material fusion.
He explained, "Itâs different. The so-called stabilizing material for that Genetic Seed was meant for the body for functional stability, rather than for the mixing process..."
"I understand, thatâs the Fusion Stabilizer. Iâm referring to the âRough Embryo Method.â" Li Ming explained.
"Rough Embryo Method?" Sheffield looked at Azure Dragon in surprise, then frowned deeply.
He certainly knew about the Rough Embryo Method.
That was early in the path of genetics, when the technology for mixing Genetic Seeds wasnât fully matured. Terms like stabilizing material, nutrient material, or gene fragment stripping werenât known.
Back then, it was basically extracting the gene of the native form, fiddling with it slightly, and directly injecting it into the body.
"Lord, knowing about the Rough Embryo Method means you should know its distortion rate; even when optimized to the highest, itâs as high as 85%." Sheffield advised:
"Not only is the fusion risk too high, but even so, condensing an embryo and achieving a successful mix is rare."
"A low success rate is still better than not being able to mix it at all." Li Ming shook his head, "Just use this method."
Fusion risk was not an issue for him; under Defense Buff, any distortion probability had to be nullified.
The only concern was whether the mix could succeed. He glanced at his newly acquired profession again.
The [Auxiliary Work] ability doesnât require a level, and he estimated that it could work on the X Gene Seed too.
As long as the final compounding and suppressing stage is assisted by him, the problem shouldnât be significant.
"Rest assured, no matter if it succeeds or not, I wonât blame you." Li Ming emphasized.
Sheffield forced a smile; one could listen to such words, but with such a precious corpse potentially unmatched in the universe, would Azure Dragon not be upset if it got ruined by him?
That was also one of the reasons for his reluctance to mix it.
Li Ming then added, "The old rule still applies; I only want one share. The extras go to you."
Sheffieldâs eyes flashed momentarily, but he quickly restrained them, his throat moving involuntarily.
The corpse is highly intact, and the Rough Embryo Methodâs requirement for body tissue is minimal; just 30% is needed for the mixing.
If done perfectly, this corpse could potentially yield three Genetic Seeds.
