Chapter 134: The Corruption Exploder

However, before long, this newly pieced-together product began to emit ear-piercing screams.

Beneath the skin, those looming tumors began to churn incessantly.

Pantos's expression changed instantly; he hurriedly dropped the tools in his hands, desperately trying to escape.

Accompanied by a loud boom, the pieced-together thing exploded violently, even creating a small mushroom cloud formed of blood plasma.

Even the entire Mishu Shiyanshi was shaken violently by this tremor.

If it had been an ordinary laboratory, it likely would have been blown to collapse directly.

Pantos wiped the blood plasma splattered on his face with lingering fear, and recalling the scene just now, he immediately revealed an ecstatic expression.

"Success, hahaha, finally a success!"

Pantos could not suppress the joy in his heart, and then began to laugh while dancing with joy.

But when he turned around, he saw Zhou Chu standing blankly behind him, and he could not help but be startled.

He immediately rushed toward Zhou Chu with a panicked expression, performed a grand kowtow, and said in fear and trepidation: "I did not know of your arrival, Master. Your humble servant Pantos failed to welcome you, and I hope you will forgive my sins..."

Zhou Chu hurriedly interrupted him and asked somewhat impatiently: "Is this your new research? What is it called?"

Pantos froze for a moment, his eyes darting around nimbly before he hurriedly said: "Blood Poison Corruption Exploder?"

Zhou Chu shook his head and said: "Too much of a mouthful; it's better to just call it Corruption Exploder, it's simpler."

Pantos nodded repeatedly and said with a fawning smile: "Good, let's call it Corruption Exploder. Your naming is simple and crude, Master, hehe!"

Zhou Chu had just witnessed the power of this Corruption Exploder with his own eyes; although its power was a far cry from a real nuclear bomb, it should be about the same as a small C4 bomb.

This was only the power of one Corruption Exploder; if there were many, it would be possible to blow down a building.

If one could get a Corruption Exploder and put it into the Contract Pool, then one could be replicated every second.

Just imagine, thousands of Corruption Exploders constantly self-destructing; no matter what Dungeon Secret Realm they faced, they could raze it to the ground in minutes.

The scene alone felt incredibly shocking just to think about.

However, Zhou Chu could see that this Corruption Exploder was still just a test subject, and there were still quite a few flaws.

For example, uncontrollable self-detonation, unstable performance, and other factors made it a dangerous product that could potentially harm oneself.

If Pantos hadn't run fast just now, he likely would have been caught in the blast.

Zhou Chu frowned, looking at the Mishu Shiyanshi that still had traces of chaos remaining after the explosion, and said to Pantos: "Although this Corruption Exploder is powerful, its current flaws are too obvious. If it self-destructs uncontrollably at a critical moment, that would become a big problem. You must find a way to improve these issues."

Pantos nodded hurriedly and responded with a serious face: "You are right, Master. This Corruption Exploder is only the first test subject. I will subsequently focus on researching how to control its self-detonation timing and improve the stability of its performance."

After discussing with Pantos for a while longer, Zhou Chu discovered that this Lich King was quite skilled in the research of Death Secret Art.

As expected of the head of the Lich Kings, he would inevitably have to rely more on his abilities in this area in the future.

Of course, before leaving, Zhou Chu did not forget to arrange for Pantos to research some death techniques he could use as soon as possible.

After all, researching skills now did not require spending money, only providing materials.

The short lunch break passed by without one realizing it.

It was almost time for class.

After Zhou Chu took on one more major than others, his class time was also longer than others.

Subsequently, Zhou Chu and Li Er arrived at the classroom of the Mechanical Department in the Teaching Building.

When they arrived at the classroom, they saw that the teacher, Zheng Youwang, had already arrived early.

Seeing Zhou Chu and Li Er, Zheng Youwang hurriedly greeted them and led them to their seats with a face full of smiles.

These actions of his were not like a teacher at all, but more like a hospitable host welcoming distinguished guests from afar.

Zhou Chu was even a little flattered.

In fact, ever since Zhou Chu and Li Er began studying in the Mechanical Department, Zheng Youwang's heart had been very anxious.

On one hand, as an ancient major, the Mechanical Department had declined for a long time following the fall of the Spirit Energy Clan, and in the current society where Soul Profession is respected, it was no longer popular.

Therefore, in the past three years, this major could be said to have had no takers.

If it weren't for the support of the principal, the Mechanical Department might have been removed from the school long ago.

On the other hand, Zhou Chu and Li Er were the only two students in the Mechanical Department; he did not know how much they understood about this major, or if they could accept the boredom that came with it.

He was terrified that he would not teach well, causing the only two students to develop an aversion to learning, thereby leading them to give up on studying this major.

Therefore, seeing the two students sitting there with expectant faces, Zheng Youwang actually felt a little nervous in his heart.

He then picked up the thermos on the lectern, drank two sips of tea, and only then cleared his throat and said: "Students, if you want to learn mechanics well, you must start by understanding the origin of mechanics."

"When you were in high school, did you learn about the once-glorious history of the Spirit Energy Clan in history class?"

"Because the origin of this discipline comes from our ancestors, the Spirit Energy Clan."

Seeing Zhou Chu smile and nod, the nervousness in Zheng Youwang's heart eased a little more.

"Then do you know why, even though the Mechanical Department has declined to this day and doesn't even have a single student, Shenxia University still refuses to abolish it and has kept it until today?"

Seeing Zhou Chu shake his head, Zheng Youwang could not help but reveal a trace of reverence on his face and said: "This is all thanks to our Principal Yu. It is precisely because of him that the Mechanical Department has been able to be preserved until today."

"You probably don't know yet, but Principal Yu is actually the only person in the world today who possesses the bloodline of the Spirit Energy Clan."

"He deeply understands the value and past glory contained in the Mechanical Department, so even in this era where Soul Profession is respected and the Mechanical Department is neglected, he has always insisted on keeping the Mechanical Department, hoping that one day it can regain its past brilliance."

Hearing this, Zhou Chu could not help but reveal a look of sudden realization.

Previously, when seeing the abilities displayed by Yu Dafu, and hearing the words "Psionic Saint Mentor" from Li Er's mouth, he could not help but recall the events in the Commercial Dungeon at the time.

From this, it can be seen that the Spirit Energy Clan did not completely disappear, but lived in this world as Soul Professionals.

It is just that with the changes of the times, they, who were once incredibly glorious, and those skills and cultures unique to the Spirit Energy Clan, gradually declined as they disappeared, and were eventually forgotten by people.
