Chapter 228

"People have already been sent to garrison it, and the troops within the opponent's territory have all been completely controlled."

"Mm, that's good, let's just leave it like that for now."

Seeing Yun Shen called for an aircraft with his small tablet, sat on it, and rose leisurely into the air. The giant metal sphere overhead also happened to open a cabin door at this moment.

After he flew in, the cabin door slowly closed.

The internal structure of the Profound Heaven Research Institute was very complex, but fortunately, Seeing Yun Shen was not too unfamiliar with it. He soon found Jiang Lan in a laboratory, leaned over, patted her shoulder, and smiled: "How is it going?"

The walls of this laboratory were made of smooth metal, shimmering with a faint blue light, as if high-tech equipment was operating efficiently within.

In front of the laboratory, there was a transparent glass partition. Through this glass, one could see many mechanical arms busy on the other side, proceeding in an orderly fashion under the control of the Profound Heaven researchers.

"It's just started, there are no results yet, but we worked together to forcibly read his memory storage module and found that when he was in the Main World, he accidentally obtained a Legendary-grade World Rare Object, 【Mechanical Spark】."

Upon hearing "Legendary-grade World Rare Object," Seeing Yun Shen's heartbeat accelerated, and he quickly asked: "Did he bind it to his Territory Core?"

Jiang Lan shook her head and said: "No, otherwise I would have gone personally to shatter his Territory Core."

She had a fivefold drop rate; when she personally shattered a Territory Core, the probability of it dropping was significantly higher than that of an ordinary person.

Of course, it wasn't that high, and the probability of it not dropping was still high.

Seeing Yun Shen breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "That's good, then is the World Rare Object on his person?"

Jiang Lan sighed softly, gave Seeing Yun Shen a look that suggested he shouldn't be too optimistic, and said: "It's not on his person. According to our judgment, the 【Mechanical Spark】 has already been bound to his soul. Forcibly unbinding it is not simple; unless Ba Tianxiao cooperates personally, there is not a shred of possibility."

"Is that so."

Seeing Yun Shen felt it was a headache upon hearing this. Never mind World Rare Objects, even some equipment, if bound to a certain individual, would establish a connection with the soul and could not be forcibly plundered; it could only be obtained through killing and relying on the drop probability.

"If you can't research anything, just keep him for now."

Seeing Yun Shen had just wanted to say he would store Ba Tianxiao in the Void Treasury, but suddenly remembered that the Void Treasury could not store living creatures, and the definition of a living creature was whether it possessed a soul.

In other words, not only Ba Tianxiao, but equipment that had birthed an artifact spirit, like the Literary Golden Pen, could not be stored either.

This setting was not unique to the Void Treasury; the vast majority of warehouse-type buildings had similar restrictions.

"By the way, I want to ask how you want to handle Ba Tianxiao's territory? I have already sent people to transport the resources within his territory in batches; what about the rest?"

"Mm... let's stick to the old rules."

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Lan understood that this was the second territory about to be destroyed by Seeing Yun Shen, and she also knew she would have to set off soon.

"It's a pity; if Ba Tianxiao had Rare talent, I could have controlled him."

Seeing Yun Shen felt a bit wistful; it was a pity he hadn't rolled an affix for the Hypnosis Glasses sufficient to sublimate them to Legendary quality, otherwise he might have been able to control the opponent directly right now.

"Hm? What did you say?"

Jiang Lan suddenly stared straight at Seeing Yun Shen and asked: "Does the Lord have some means I don't know about?"

"Uh, I obtained a World Rare Object before..."

Seeing Yun Shen explained the effects of the Hypnosis Glasses. He had originally wanted to wait until he had bestowed an affix before revealing it, otherwise, with the existing ability, the effect wasn't very great.

Jiang Lan was silent for a moment and asked strangely: "The reason you haven't mentioned it all this time is that you have a way to improve the quality of this World Rare Object, but it doesn't satisfy you yet, right?"

Having been together for so long, Jiang Lan had some guesses about Seeing Yun Shen's methods; after all, she had watched many things in the territory change with her own eyes.

"Mm, that is indeed the case."

Seeing Yun Shen knew he couldn't hide it, so he didn't deny it.

Jiang Lan asked: "Then is there a way to improve the ability of the Hypnosis Glasses to the extent that they can control Shi Shi-grade or Superior-grade units?"

Seeing Yun Shen's brows twitched slightly upon hearing this, and he began to ponder. His gaze remained fixed inside the glass partition, on a sci-fi-style cube-shaped object surrounded by mechanical arms—it was Ba Tianxiao's intelligent terminal.

Fortunately, he wasn't a fool. In this instant, Seeing Yun Shen's eyes widened; he had clearly thought of the same thing as Jiang Lan.

A large part of the Intellect Machine Race's talent is bestowed by their external body; this body is equivalent to the flesh of carbon-based life forms, and talent is largely determined by the body.

For example, Ba Tianxiao's previous body was a mechanical giant beast, which made his physique and attributes look very exaggerated, and his spiritual power attribute likely wasn't bad either, so his talent would naturally be very high.

By the same logic, if that mechanical giant beast body were removed, leaving only that intelligent terminal, wouldn't that be equivalent to his physique and spiritual power being almost entirely cleared to zero?

In this way, even if Ba Tianxiao originally had Legendary talent, his current talent would definitely plummet, and at most, it would not exceed Shi Shi-grade.

Even because most of the Intellect Machine Race do not focus on the spiritual attribute, it is not impossible for Ba Tianxiao's current talent to drop to Superior-grade!

Thinking of this, the look in Seeing Yun Shen's eyes as he watched that cube-shaped intelligent terminal couldn't help but become heated.

Seeing Yun Shen reached out, and the Hypnosis Glasses immediately appeared in his hand.

On the morning he opened the Forbidden Trial, Seeing Yun Shen had already refreshed the affixes for the Hypnosis Glasses, but he wasn't satisfied with the affixes, so he had stopped.

After so many days, because the time flow of the Forbidden Trial was ridiculously fast, Seeing Yun Shen had been unable to continue rolling new affixes.

A thought moved in Seeing Yun Shen's heart, and the three affixes that had originally faded away appeared before him once again, two Blue and one Orange... ===== CHAPTER 230 =====
