Chapter 4069

The inner area of the Life Workshop is a hive-like room storing various biological specimens, where Su Xiao even saw some creatures recorded in the Soul Grand Archive that had long gone extinct.

For example, the "Black Tiger Bee," an extinct supernatural creature, was originally a fierce ruler of flower seas, feared even in mid-to-high-tier worlds; its sting wouldn't kill, but its venom would make one wish for death.

Until a certain Spellbreaker found these "Black Tiger Bees" impressive, took a nest home to raise—cough—though he didn't keep them at home, but brought them back and placed them in the neighboring courtyard.

The next morning, as the old Spellbreaker stepped out, he saw a swarm of angry "Black Tiger Bees" charging at him, and just as he was about to swat them away, he noticed a few had landed on the black maple branches he'd gathered the day before, feeding on the sap oozing from the cut ends.

This intrigued the old Spellbreaker, so he left them be, and a few days later brought back an extra jar of black maple sap—black maple doesn't bear fruit, but on some branches it secretes sap, meaning these branches are vital for further growth and shouldn't be cut.

The result: the "Black Tiger Bees" produced a unique "maple honey" with extraordinary moisturizing and restorative effects on skin—calling it a natural skin savior isn't an exaggeration.

The early Spellbreakers weren't lacking in business sense, just too lazy to act; they had too much on their plates, so they sold this as a highly rare raw material to the Alchemists' Camp.

The Alchemists' Camp quickly developed a skin-care product from it; while Alchemy Masters might scoff, for high-tier alchemists, it was pure profit.

Wherever in the Star Realm, 99% of female races have little resistance to beauty, especially enhancing their own appearance.

After the Alchemists' faction launched this product, it didn't just sell well—it sold out in frenzy; its skin-care effects were so exaggerated that applying it before bed would show visibly improved skin by morning, and after a few days, any acquaintance would remark, "Madam, you're looking younger and more beautiful."

Later, high-tier alchemists also wondered: isn't this just moisturizing and repairing skin? Across the Star Realm, true youth-restoring elixirs are exceedingly rare—once in a century—and likely come with side effects.

Moisturizing and repairing products from the Alchemists' Camp's subsidiary brands have generally shown one trait: outstanding results during use, but rapid relapse once discontinued.

Because the body is a whole, skin condition reflects overall bodily state, and the passage of time inevitably leaves traces on "origin life force"; skin maintained by such force will inevitably show age.

As for boosting "origin life force"—don't joke; such elixirs are accessible only to the 0.000000001% of Star Realm's ruling elite; while many can strengthen the body enough to enhance origin life force, making it usable for ordinary people multiplies the price by a hundred thousand or more.

Alchemists' research revealed this product isn't just about moisturizing and repairing—it works from outside in, nourishing the "origin life force"; improved skin is merely one feedback, and bodily changes delight noblewomen immensely.

Know that even past exorbitantly priced items ordinary people could use to boost origin life force only extended lifespan, without alleviating the erosion of origin life force by time.

In the end, the luxury skincare product named "Maple Honey Emulsion" was hyped to astronomical prices, yet remained a bottle nearly impossible to obtain.

Su Xiao extracted a sample of the "Black Tiger Bee Queen"; he sensed the queen inside was still alive, but once the sealed preservation material was opened, she would die quickly.

Why did the "Black Tiger Bees" go extinct? Because they are environmentally finicky, elemental-life inclined; when the balance is Abyss 5.1/Element 4.9, breeding becomes difficult; once it reaches Abyss 5.3/Element 4.7, they face extinction.

Thus, the effect of "Maple Honey Emulsion" may seem absurd, but it's logical: black maple comes from the Abyss, "Black Tiger Bees" are elemental-leaning, and using black maple sap to make honey is a natural fusion of Abyss and elemental power—naturally potent.

Honestly, even top-tier potion masters couldn't achieve this—it's the wonder of natural forces.

But for Su Xiao, this isn't a problem; with his Lv. 103 imprint permit, he can pay a certain amount of spacetime power to certify the obtained "Black Tiger Bees" and bring them back to the Reincarnation Paradise to raise, where the environment is absolutely stable, as seen from the initial growth of the "black maple tree."

This luxury skincare product named "Maple Honey Emulsion"—its raw materials, Su Xiao has no shortage of, and can steadily produce in large quantities; the formulation poses no issue, as the recipe for "Maple Honey Emulsion" is recorded in the late notes of Coein·Molber, and it's highly representative.

Moreover, the formula is easy to crack; knowing its effect, Su Xiao can reverse-engineer it—Alchemy Lv. 99 isn't for show.

Even better, if he produces "Maple Honey Emulsion," no promotion is needed; in the Second Era, the Alchemist Civilization had already promoted it to the limit, and even teaming up with the Goblin Merchants' Guild to rehash it would make it sell out instantly.

Su Xiao is indeed poor now; "Heaven's Peak Slaying Shadow" is practically a resource devourer, and his full gear—Soul-Seal, Dragon-Slaying Flash, Endless Ring—each consumes heavily, and the exclusive supreme passive "Origin of Power" also devours resources massively; he needs to max out all supreme passives, then use the exclusive supreme passive to digest them, thereby enhancing himself.

Su Xiao attempted to certify the "Black Tiger Bee Queen" in his hand, and a prompt appeared.

【To certify this creature, 592 ounces of spacetime power must be paid.】

This certification fee isn't high—at least for Su Xiao's current finances—so he chose to certify it.

【This certification is complete.】

【Black Tiger Bee】

Origin: Seventh to Ninth Tier Worlds (multiple origins).

Type: Queen.

Condition: Poor (will die and dry up within seconds after leaving Time Amber).

Summary: Except for a few individuals, Black Tiger Bees have gone extinct in the normal Star Realm environment.

……

Merely completing certification doesn't save this queen, but at least her condition is now known.

First issue: the queen is sealed in Time Amber, in a "time-frozen" state; forcibly breaking the Time Amber would cause the Second Era queen to contact the current time of the Third Era, and under time-flow reaction, she would die, dry up, and turn to ash shortly.

Su Xiao can solve this: in his private room's alchemy lab, he can create a small time force field—smaller means lower cost, and the queen is about the size of a finger.

Additionally, Su Xiao needs an entomologist to give the queen a stable recovery environment so she can recuperate first, then begin building a hive and reproducing.

Entomologist……

Su Xiao recalled someone—the captain mentioned that the travel group's current No. 1 is an entomologist, though he doesn't know her age; if she's over ten, she should have entomology memories.

Speaking of which, the Platinum Apostle who betrayed the captain left the Phantom Travel Group's No. 1 position vacant—not because the captain is sentimental, but because he doesn't pay much attention to the group; the name "Phantom Travel Group" is said to have been changed by the puppet master of the group's No. 2.

Previously, this was just the captain's personal adventuring party; after permit limits exceeded, the group had no room to grow, so he expanded it into a multi-person adventuring party, originally named "General Store"; as for why it's so odd, every time they set up stalls in the trading square or large gathering areas, the default stall name is the fixed team or adventuring party name, and this name works well because no renaming is needed when setting up stalls.

Putting away the 【Black Tiger Bee】, Su Xiao continued forward exploration; this visit to the Life Workshop was truly profitable—indeed, in the core area, the awakened "Toxic·Kai Scale" let out a roar after breaking its glass pillar, and the rest followed suit.

After Su Xiao beheaded the first "Toxic·Kai Scale," he couldn't stop; killing this small-boss unit yielded not only loot boxes but also 1.2%~1.3% World Origin per unit.

If it were before, Su Xiao truly couldn't handle so many "Toxic·Kai Scales," but now, "Extreme Blade·World" instantly killed three with a single strike, a kick instantly killed one, followed immediately by "Extreme Blade·Blood Sea."

A sweeping slash, retreating a large area, claws and green blood flying everywhere; when "Extreme Blade·Blood Sea" completed its initial accumulation, the remaining "Toxic·Kai Scales" became increasingly fragile under the impact of its billion-blade wave tide, but in the end, a single "Extreme Blade·Super·Sweep" laid them all low at once.

The toxin of "Toxic·Kai Scale" may be a hassle for others, but for Su Xiao—who can poison extraterritorial anomalies—frankly, in this aspect, he could offer some guidance to the breeders of "Toxic·Kai Scale" on potent toxins.

1. Insufficient adhesion.

2. Biological toxicity shouldn't be forced; it should form a cycle, letting the "Toxic·Kai Scale" nurture its own toxin and form a cycle, rather than transplanting toxin seeds—this is a mistake.

3. Toxin atomization merely looks good; if seeking corrosive power, better to develop toward the mental system, like "Toxin Eye"—the gaze of "Toxic·Kai Scale" could poison enemies.

4. The toxin of "Toxic·Kai Scale" undergoes heterologous deactivation—this is a mistake among mistakes; if it doesn't proliferate in the enemy's body, it's a failure; using heterologous deactivation to speed up toxin onset is putting the cart before the horse.

Leaving that aside, these 138 "Toxic·Kai Scales" have earned Su Xiao.

【You obtained Eternal-tier Loot Box·Toxic ×115.】

【You obtained World Origin 172.5%.】

【Prompt: Your current World Origin has reached 415.61%, exceeding the current cap of 400%; the excess 15.61% will be calculated as overflow.】

……

Though it seems this World Origin is already full, it's actually just begun.

【Since your World Origin has reached 400%, only in extremely rare cases is there a chance to reach 400%; aside from World Origin settlement gains, you may obtain the following additional benefits.】

You obtained Initial Source ×10 portions.

You obtained the Ultimate Passive Scroll Chest (★★★); opening this chest will definitely grant you an Ultimate Passive corresponding to your physical attributes, and the grade of this Ultimate Passive will be ★★★ (the highest grade).

Your world settlement evaluation upper limit in this world +0.1~1.7 (depending on the overflow situation of the obtained world source).

……

Risk and reward are equal; this is the gain from adventuring onto the secret island. However, the "Eternal-tier Chest·Deadly Poison ×115" — even Su Xiao has never seen such a situation before. He instinctively wonders whether he should try, through the Reincarnation Paradise, to synthesize these chests in a notarized manner?

Previously, if one wanted to synthesize chests, it would be absurd, but these 115 are completely identical, which makes the impossible highly possible.

To perform chest synthesis, find Caesar; regarding high permissions, definitely contact the team leader. If the team leader has such permission items, then Su Xiao provides the chests, the team leader provides the permission items, they negotiate the distribution ratio, and then open together.

Opening the Reincarnation Paradise friend list, finding the team leader's avatar, sending 【Eternal-tier Chest·Deadly Poison ×115】 over. In the next second, Su Xiao stops, because he discovers that real-time sending is actually possible — could it be that the team leader is also in this world?

Choosing to send, he was about to close the chat page when the team leader's reply actually arrived.

Team Leader: "【Azure Fusioner (Origin·Genesis Paradise)】."

Bai Ye: "Profit fifty-fifty split."

Team Leader: "【Chest Enhancement Scroll +14 (Origin·Genesis Paradise)】."

If the 115 【Eternal-tier Chest·Deadly Poison】 were fused into one, then enhanced +15, the profit would necessarily increase exponentially. According to the input-output ratio, Su Xiao sends the message:

Bai Ye: "Three-seven."

Team Leader: "Fifty-fifty, boxes that can perfectly fuse are not many."

Bai Ye: "Good."

Su Xiao didn't stand on ceremony; sometimes a bit of false politeness backfires. Properly accepting others' proactive giving is actually a kind of politeness and sincerity. Of course, it must be others' proactive giving; actively asking for it is another matter.

Bai Ye: "In the Gods' Realm?"

Team Leader: "No, in a nearby Ninth Order world. This world is collapsing; I think she is worth rescuing. In fact, my judgment is still good. How are you?"

Bai Ye: "Temporarily safe."

After chatting a few sentences, Su Xiao bade farewell to the team leader. He exited the hive room storing various biological samples, came to the end of the corridor, which forked into over ten branch paths. He formed a crystal coin, deliberately not controlling his power, pinched it between two fingers, and flung it at the wall with a ding. The crystal coin landed in front of the third passage.

Hmm, very good. Based on Su Xiao's confidence in his own luck, he decided he would definitely not take this passage.

He entered the eighth passage. After not walking far, he suddenly sensed a familiar aura entering the edge of his perception range. At first he thought it was Bubu, but after slightly focusing his perception, it was not; instead, it was...

"Meow!"

Bennie flew and pounced, clinging to his face, then climbed onto her premium seat, Su Xiao's head.

"Is this your exploration area in this world?"

"Meow meow?"

Bennie lay on Su Xiao's head, her head probing downward, meaning, yes, what's wrong?

"..."

For a moment, Su Xiao didn't know how to evaluate this, only able to say that Bennie's "Sea's Favor," from various meanings, is indeed very strong. The problem is, if Bennie's initial teleportation array was the Sea of Life, how did she survive?

"Meow meow~"

Bennie's reply was simple yet absurd: that is, making friends. She only has two abilities.

1. Travel and treasure hunting.

2. Making friends with animals.

Those worms in the Sea of Life, in Bennie's view, are also counted among animals.

Bennie completely abandoned the combat system. The 【Servitor Promotion Badge】 she obtained increases speed and survivability by 10%, treasure hunting by 10%, and friend-making ability by 80%.

In the Sea of Life, Bennie not only knows the "Eye Without Darkness," she also knows the God-Slayers, and even hid with them for a few days. The reason is that the Mother of Birth, Eve, prepared to capture her as a pet cat to raise. Bennie naturally was unwilling.

Bennie gave Su Xiao a series of meows, speaking excitedly, but soon she suddenly thought of something, dove into Su Xiao's clothes, and her cat head poked out from his collar.

"Meow meow!"

Bennie's meaning is very simple: set out, bring Su Xiao to find, she discovered traces of treasure in the Life Workshop, and was just about to search for it.

Under Bennie's direction, Su Xiao returned to the corridor's branch point. This time he entered the first passage ahead. According to Bennie's direction, he advanced a total of 150 steps. The interval per step is irrelevant; the key is the concept of 150 steps.

Wind sounds came from ahead; Su Xiao faintly heard water sounds ahead, also smelled the moisture and aquatic plant scent from the riverbank. He placed one hand on the wall and began waiting.

Buzz~

A spatial fluctuation, unlike anything ever felt before, appeared. Su Xiao's vision blurred, and he returned to the fork of the main passage.

"Meow."

Bennie directed again; Su Xiao entered the third passage, still walking, but this time only 10 steps. Under Bennie's direction, he successively entered passages 2, 5, 9, 3, 6, 6, 5. Each time the number of steps walked out was different, but the same was that after completing the walking, he needed to touch the wall.

When Su Xiao touched the wall with one hand for the ninth time, he suddenly felt a tremor under his feet; the ground actually concealed a circular stone lifting platform.

The lifting platform began to descend. When it stopped, ahead was an area that could be called a "blessing for claustrophobia": standing an adult, only a tiny activity space remained, arms could not be raised, and the surroundings were not rock, but a kind of black, solid alchemical material.

Su Xiao stood within it. Not long after, the lifting platform began to ascend. Before plunging into darkness, he saw that this lifting platform had only a top layer of rock, and below were all this black alloy, and he sealed this place tightly.

After a while, the lifting platform stopped. The small space where Su Xiao was was sealed. He simply closed his eyes to rest. As for Bennie being an enemy's illusion or something, the Reincarnation Paradise-notarized Servitor Mark makes imitation by ability impossible, plus his own "Absolute Will."

One hour later, the lifting platform ahead trembled slightly, then began to rise. Half a minute later, a three-meter-high mezzanine space that could be stood upon was revealed. Su Xiao entered it, pulled down the black lever at the center, and this time the lifting platform rapidly fell.

It fell for several minutes before the lifting platform began to decelerate, until it slowly stopped. A metal door appeared ahead. The metal door opened, revealing a chamber of over ten square meters.

Entering the chamber, on the opposite wall, void script was written:

"Reward for the Brave."

An oversized metal chest was on the wall. Bennie glanced and meowed, meaning, whoever opens this metal chest dies.

Under Bennie's direction, Su Xiao came to the right metal wall. Bennie immediately covered her ears with both paws.

Thud!

A straight kick shattered the metal wall inward, revealing a secret passage. Continuing forward, the end of the passage was a bedroom. This is clearly an emergency shelter: a wooden desk, a wooden bed, on the bed lay a skeleton. The skeleton had black-brown strip-like objects on it, looking like some kind of bandage, but until today it has not rotted into ash; it must have been precious before.

Su Xiao's hand touched the wall above the wooden bed, pressed down, and the hidden compartment opened. Inside was a small box.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at the small box in his hand, then lowered his head to glance at Benny, truly not understanding how Benny knew these steps, and moreover, this procedure was clearly something no one had operated for many years.

"Meow~"

Benny tilted her head and gave an absurd yet reasonable answer: it was told to her by the "Life Workshop," this massive building is actually a giant alchemical lifeform, and in Benny's ability assessment, such alchemical lifeforms are also classified as "animal friends."

Obviously, Bubu Wang, Am, and Benny have all found their respective paths in the later stages, while Bahha is still exploring; the assassination path in the late game can be said to be relatively difficult, although the interdimensional system is certainly good, it comes with too much uncertainty.

Su Xiao opened the wooden box, inside was a pendant and a gemstone.

【You obtained Soul-Swaying (Special Equipment).】

Su Xiao didn't even bother to look at the pendant's attributes; he grabbed the main body of the pendant with one hand, the crystalline layer appeared in his hand and began to assimilate the pendant's main body. After successfully assimilating the outer layer, he snapped it with a crack, crushing it, and the broken crystal fragments slipped between his fingers, triggering a prompt:

【You obtained Soul Crystal ×1.】

Upon first seeing this pendant, Su Xiao recognized its origin; alchemists clearly had covetous thoughts toward this 【Soul Crystal】, a resource exclusive to the Extinction Law, attempting to seize this power. Although they succeeded, the theft efficiency was low, and moreover, it wasn't worth offending the Extinction Law practitioners over it. The alchemists who died here treated this item as a cherished collection.

【You obtained Adaptive Core (Alchemical Product).】

【Adaptive Core (Alchemical Product): Can serve as the core node for over 96.5% of battle diagrams, but before activating the battle diagram, this core must undergo adaptive adjustment, a process taking 0.5 to 10 hours (depending on the battle diagram specifications).】

Good stuff, might come in handy someday, Su Xiao checked the "Hunt Bounty" situation; unfortunately, "Bounty 3·Deadly Toxic Treasure" remains incomplete, indicating this is not one of the three treasures within the "Life Workshop."

Beneath Su Xiao's feet, an Extinction Law teleportation array appeared, with a thud, he returned to the fork in the main road where several diverging paths met. The information Benny had just provided was very important: this "Life Workshop" is actually a super-giant alchemical lifeform.

If so, let Benny negotiate first; the "Life Workshop" proposed terms, and upon fulfillment, the other party would hand over one of the three treasures of this place.

"Meow~"

Benny meant to hand it over; afterward, Benny climbed onto Su Xiao's head, began meowing softly, and was "meowing" something to the "Life Workshop." From Benny's tail gradually speeding up its sway, it was clear the negotiation wasn't going smoothly.

"Oww-meow-meow!"

Benny shouted angrily; it was clear she had sweet-talked, as metallic walls on the side surged, obviously the "Life Workshop" was about to give Benny a lesson.

Hiss~

Su Xiao placed one hand on the hilt of his sword, which caused the "Life Workshop" to quickly calm down. After a moment, the surrounding mental fluctuations subsided, obviously the little boat of friendship said it would capsize and did—friendship over series.

As for this, Benny had long grown accustomed to it; her "animal friends" generally had unstable emotions, and something like the "Life Workshop" was already considered quite stable in temperament.

Given Benny's emotional intelligence, handling this "Life Workshop" was a piece of cake; she usually dealt with those shrewd merchants from the major amusement park factions in the big gathering places, even more cunning than foxes. A tiny "Life Workshop"? Handled in minutes. Moreover, this guy had already severed ties with Benny, and Benny wouldn't go all out against her "animal friends," but truly treat them as friends—well, for now.

"Meow-meow-meow~"

Benny sighed, as if saying, how pitiful, trapped here for nearly an eon.

The consciousness of the "Life Workshop" immediately returned to the surroundings, with a hostile aura, staring at Benny.

Benny began speaking in a sarcastic, indirect manner, then gradually chatted, and finally, empathizing, she made the "Life Workshop consciousness" increasingly active through conversation.

Finally, it was revealed: this workshop was indeed created by alchemists, but this consciousness entity was lured by alchemists from the outer realm and forced into signing a contract lasting five eon cycles with them.

During the contract's validity, the "Life Workshop" may not leave this place. Upon hearing this, Benny, the Young Lady, knew the following would be simple; she began sincerely describing her own role as a dung-shoveling official, how strong her contract ability was—sincerity being the ultimate trump card—and the "Life Workshop" gradually stirred with intent.

An old sheepskin contract appeared ahead; this contract existed in two copies, one inscribed within the "Life Workshop's" consciousness, the other retained by a certain alchemy master, now unknown whereabouts.

There are only two ways to terminate this contract: one is when the contract term expires, the other is by merging the two copies into one, signifying the contract has been fulfilled ahead of time.

Su Xiao studied it for a moment and discovered this contract was not ordinary; every pattern and leather grain on it had meaning, ensuring it could maximally resist tampering, and if tampered with, would directly backfire on the "Life Workshop's" existential causality.

From the patterns and contract material, Su Xiao was 100% certain it came from the Devil Clan's hands; in his view, Devil Clan contracts were truly perfect—just from this contract alone, it was flawless.

The problem is, what if there isn't just this one contract?

Su Xiao took out a sheepskin contract copy and began tracing this "Devil Contract." After completing the tracing, he took out a soul coin, which flicked away with a ding.

"My dear friend, Caesar just discovered a particularly interesting place."

Su Xiao naturally understood the implication behind Caesar's words: he needed to pay more.

"50 ounces."

"What?!"

Caesar exclaimed in shock.

"At least 6000 ounces, this is a Devil Contract!"

"60."

"Deal."

"..."

Su Xiao paused while holding the "Spacetime Stone Fragment," having given too much; from Caesar's sly smile, he judged that 55 ounces would suffice.

He handed the traced Devil Contract to Caesar; this time Caesar wasn't wearing the "Abyss Jar," the "Abyss Jar" being the original sin of greed, this time it was fraud, so it was:

"Fraudster's Headwrap" + "Fraudster's Hand" + "Endless Greed Worn-out POS Machine"—this fraudster's three-piece set. When there's no benefit, Caesar won't call for the "Abyss Jar," which is also why Caesar avoids backlash.

He never regards the "Abyss Jar" as his own, but as a partner in crime; only when both parties can benefit does Caesar put the "Abyss Jar" on his head.

After Caesar completed his local precision ritual, Su Xiao's just-traced "Devil Contract (Fake)" began resonating with the "True·Devil Contract" in midair, thus letting the two contracts touch, and then successfully terminating the contract? That would truly be looking down on the Devil Clan's contract power.

Su Xiao's method was to use the "Devil Contract (Fake)" to resonate with the "True·Devil Contract," then activate the loophole left in the "Devil Contract (Fake)," and from there begin expanding one branch contract after another, diluting the "Life Workshop's" contractual responsibilities across thousands of branch contracts.

If violating the "True·Devil Contract" results in existential causality backlash, then diluting it across thousands of copies turns it into other breach penalties via the branch contracts' content, such as permanent disappearance of a part, or permanent loss of certain power.

This isn't even the end; Su Xiao further expanded on these thousands of contracts—namely, branch contracts of branch contracts—each branch contract expanded into ten sub-contracts, meaning contract penalties were spread across tens of thousands of contracts.

Contract power: the more contracts, the better; but contract penalties: the more contracts, the weaker. This is like breaking a bundle of chopsticks all at once versus splitting them and breaking each one individually—of course, the latter is easier to achieve.

Crack, crack, crack~

One sub-contract after another was broken free by the "Life Workshop," contract penalties began acting on the "Life Workshop," and not long after, the main body of the "Devil Contract (Fake)" shattered.

Shattered alongside it was the floating "True·Devil Contract" in midair, because its contract ruling had already been validated through the "Devil Contract (Fake)," the connection achieved. As the saying goes, killing someone doesn't require stepping on their head, and neither do contracts—once a contract-binding target has been punished this way, it cannot be bound again. This is the foundational logic of Devil Contracts.

Why does Su Xiao know this logic? Because he used multi-layer contract law and exchanged contract knowledge with a certain Devil Clan member.

The surrounding walls trembled; the freed "Life Workshop" was excited to the extreme, but it hadn't forgotten it still owed payment—dare to default, and whoever helped it escape would surely rip it open.

The upper wall softened and spread, forming a strange giant arm composed of numerous black arms; in one hand of this strange arm, it held a mechanical eye, extended toward Su Xiao—this is one of the three treasures of this place.

Seeing this, Su Xiao felt a sense of familiarity; this object looked……like an upgraded version of the "Mystic Eye"?

Upon seeing the "Mystic Eye" upgrade, Su Xiao immediately recalled his poor alchemical machinery talent, which led him to develop the "Mystic Eye," and he ended up creating the "Revolving Flashbang"—this extremely absurd function.
