Chapter 499: The Advantage of Degenerate Species

Priestess: "I see, then there's no helping it. You take them first, and just send over some potions later."

Tower: "Of course, no problem. I'll go prepare a batch of the latest potions for you right away. How about another batch of attribute potions on top of that?"

As for potions, the Witch Clan had no problem making as many as they wanted as long as they had the materials, which was why Lan Qingyou added some other potions on top.

Priestess: "Sure."

With the Priestess's reply, this relatively short transaction finally concluded.

Lan Qingyou received a total of thirty-one Demon Eyes.

She took a look, and there wasn't even a single duplicate skill among these Demon Eyes.

She was a bit angry, but still quickly put all these Demon Eyes into the bottle from before.

The bottle wasn't that big to begin with, so putting thirty-something Demon Eyes in directly stuffed the bottle full.

She still had to find a way to make some potion fluid later.

But it wasn't a big problem.

After all, among Teacher Elisa's techniques, there were instructions on how to make nutrient fluid.

She just needed to mix up some nutrient fluid to store the Demon Eyes.

And on Chu Yuan's side, seeing that the transaction between the Priestess and Lan Qingyou had finally ended, he immediately came out to bring the topic back 'on track'.

And this time, there was truly no one interfering.

Judgment: "As for the matter of the Race War, does everyone have any thoughts right now?"

Magician: "This is indeed very tricky. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be people assembling and preparing to strike at Evolvers right now."

Priestess: "That's for sure. After all, these guys are capable of anything."

Sun: "Rather, those who can take action immediately, apart from having the capacity for action, must also be very ambitious."

Justice: "That's true. At the very least, among a group of people, there will be an extremely ambitious person taking the lead."

And when everyone saw that they started talking about this 'serious matter' that the whole world knew about, the noise also died down.

Rather, the previous topics had already ended, and now it was time to enter a new topic.

But there actually wasn't much to talk about on this topic.

After all, the answer to the riddle was written on the surface.

Race War meant a war that broke out between races.

And unfortunately, before this new version arrived, everyone had more or less experienced this kind of war already.

However...

Moon: "I actually feel there's nothing to worry about in this regard."

Star: "Hmm?"

Priestess: "Why?"

Shang Chuan's sudden contrary words left people somewhat puzzled, but Shang Chuan also had his own reasoning.

"Everyone, don't forget that the world's will said 'personnel from other races'. This means that besides one's own race, killing any other race will grant attributes."

"In other words, they can kill Evolvers to increase attribute points, but they can also kill Degenerate Species to increase attribute points. There are many more options to choose from."

"Not only will Transmigrators do this, but even Evolvers will do the same. After all, no one will mind having too many attribute points."

Shang Chuan spoke a large paragraph in one breath, causing everyone holding cards and reading his speech to fall silent.

Indeed, don't Degenerate Species also fall within the scope of 'other races'?

And if we're really talking about it, monsters also count as 'other races'. It's just that putting intelligent races like themselves together with other beasts for consideration wasn't something ordinary people could do.

But the possibility of this existing could not be denied.

However, Shang Chuan wasn't finished speaking.

Just as everyone in the Manor was pondering whether to send people to hunt some monsters or Degenerate Species to see the situation, Shang Chuan threw out another piece of intelligence that shocked everyone.

"Furthermore, there's another very important advantage of Degenerate Species that everyone might not have thought of."

"You have to know that there are currently over ten billion Degenerate Species, which is equivalent to over ten billion attribute points."

"And according to some intelligence I have obtained, among these Degenerate Species, many races are the type with extremely strong reproductive capabilities."

...

Reproductive capability... This was indeed something no one had thought of.

Rather, since transmigrating, most people had been hovering on the borderline of survival and basic needs, while top players like them had been continuously strengthening themselves, so they hadn't thought about these things.

But now that Shang Chuan pointed it out, everyone had a sudden realization of 'Ah, so that's how it is'.

Moon: "@Tower, remember that Dwarf-folk your Witch Clan took in before?"

Tower: "I remember. Their numbers seemed very small, only a few thousand, right."

Moon: "Yes, but now because they used Witch's blood and suffered the Witch's Curse, they have changed from Dwarf-folk into Goblins, and their reproductive capabilities are terrifyingly strong."

Moon: "One month of pregnancy, and they leave infancy in three months. In the ten months you've been away..."

Tower: "Wait, they were originally Evolvers, why did they still need to use Witch blood?"

Moon: "It's said that the leader of the Dwarf-folk obtained a batch of Witch blood after agreeing to backstab you."

Moon: "Thinking that since it's all blood anyway, he used the Witch blood together when producing Evolution Items for the Dwarf-folk and obtained a large number of evolution potions."

Moon: "Perhaps because of his previous successful experiences, the leader of the Dwarf-folk gave the Evolution Items to pre-selected personnel without appraising them first."

Moon: "In the end, the entire Dwarf-folk clan, which didn't have many members to begin with, was killed off by a large number of newly evolved Goblins."

Moon: "There are many such examples, and the underlying processes are basically the same."

Emperor: "So you're saying races like the Dwarf-folk no longer exist now?"

Moon: "They do. After all, even Elves are divided into different lineages, so the Dwarf-folk naturally are too."

Compared to Gu Xiaobei's inquiry, Lan Qingyou was the most unsettled one right now.

She didn't expect that such an operation was actually possible.

Adding Witch's blood, or rather Evolver's blood, on the foundation of Ancient Blood.

Although doing this indeed had the potential for one plus one being greater than two.

But more often than not, it would only result in 'bad things'.

As an Alchemist who frequently dealt with herbs and other materials, she was very clear on this point.

Playing around like this with potions was basically equivalent to courting death.

After all, things like pharmacology and efficacy all required careful study and accumulation of knowledge, or having ready-made formulas, before one could start producing without a care.

Otherwise, Lan Qingyou wouldn't have had to conduct her potion research and development step by step with attempts.

Obviously, the clan leaders of those minor races lacked relevant experience, yet thought they had experience and started seeking death.

But with things like this, if Degenerate Species could also count as attribute points, then they could just go out and hunt them directly.

Thinking this way, Lan Qingyou directly sent a message to Diana, asking her to find someone to go outside and test it to see the specific situation.
