Chapter 487: A Happy Family

Missed.

Yang Yixie now has only one thought in his mind.

Clearly, a full absorption would grant 300% experience; after separating, isolating the Divine Fragment eliminates the Mutation interference, but even if he absorbs it all, the experience is halved.

"Is there any medicine that reduces Mutation?"

Yang Yixie directly confirms the absorption of the Divine Fragment, watches his rank jump straight into the next stage, then looks at Fang Zhiyan.

Fang Zhiyan can sense Ying Duo's internal energy rise; although for an ordinary person this is a small, celebratory step, Ying Duo is clearly not satisfied.

So it was the recent separation that lost too much energy, huh?

Fang Zhiyan also knows the process inevitably incurs loss, but Ying Duo seems to keep a distance from detaching from humanity; to make him voluntarily merge the fragment, this is the only way.

But clearly, between power and risk, Yang Yixie would choose power.

Mei Wei Si's Aberrant Species Core is needed, so Bai Mu Yun's doesn't have to be so particular.

After obtaining the special drug from Fang Zhiyan, Ying Duo directly devoured Bai Mu Yun's Aberrant Species Core together with the Divine Fragment, soaring up four levels.

If he could get Bai Mu Yun's head, he should gain even more experience.

Still, it's a pity.

"Anything else to do?"

Seeing Ying Duo absorb two fragments in a row without any abnormal reaction, Fang Zhiyan's eyes flashed with zeal, and his response to Ying Duo's question was in a very good mood.

"Nothing for now; later the Field Operations Department will deliver the compensated materials, how's your experiment progressing?"

Fang Zhiyan knows Ying Duo has a plan for the results requested by Han Huan, but he doesn't know his progress.

Ying Duo, unlike other experimenters, doesn't need sophisticated equipment; as long as materials are sufficient, he can start work anywhere, anytime.

The only drawback might be that the patch of Ying Guang Lu is too harsh on the eyes.

"The blueprint is almost done; manufacturing will just take some time."

Yang Yixie has already decided to first scavenge some materials before leaving.

Honestly, the blueprint isn't hard to draw, nor the appearance, because many templates exist in reality; his older brother once especially liked such figurines, so Yang Yixie knows the general structure.

The only problem is probably how to realize his idea using this world's Rune technology.

After a whole day of toiling and sweeping up a wave of materials, Yang Yixie found it was already very late.

Bai Mu Yun and Mei Wei Si's corpses are in his backpack; looking at the "freshness" countdown inside, their bodies shouldn't rot in the short term.

Yang Yixie told Fang Zhiyan that he'll go out tomorrow, then returned to his room to rest.

Although he called it rest, it was really staying indoors, beginning to use 【modification】 to turn the designed blueprint into reality.

The hardest step is the design, but the game system already gave the blueprint a rating, indicating it's usable; just follow the steps to craft it.

Ying Duo alone is a living mobile production line; as the process becomes more proficient, Yang Yixie begins to doubt what difference remains between him and a robot.

If we talk about the biggest difference... it's that he has consciousness, right?

Speaking of it, if Luo Jinyou's Consciousness Space anomaly was caused by merging the fragment, then after merging the fragment, what is Ying Duo's Consciousness Space like?

Wouldn't there also be an extra lump of it?

Since it can increase proficiency in the Consciousness Law, that means Yang Yixie can use consciousness-related abilities and should be able to enter his own consciousness world.

However, whether the entry is into Yang Yixie's Consciousness Space or Ying Duo's is another question.

But it's worth testing.

Ying Duo's hand that was typing suddenly halted; the Ying Guang Lu energy had just engraved a Rune on the mechanical arm before him, then abruptly stopped.

Once this thought surfaces, it's hard to dispel; if he could, like when he entered Luo Jinyou before, plunge into his own deep consciousness—

What would he see?

The system popup appeared just in time, as if it had been waiting for him to reach this step.

【Consciousness Deep Dive will temporarily lose control of the body; please confirm surrounding safety before proceeding. Enter?】

Confirm.

Ying Duo's hands still hovered in midair as if about to type, fingertips slightly curled, and his already hollow golden eyes dimmed completely.

It was like the strings supporting a puppet being suddenly cut; Ying Duo collapsed sitting on the floor, arms limp at his sides, and even the mechanical arm fell to the ground.

But it was only a brief change; Ying Duo quickly moved again, though his motions were even more mechanically rigid than before.

Like a machine with a preset program, executing its final command.

Consciousness began to sink, a bit like entering a game; Yang Yixie slowly opened his eyes and felt immediately that it was unfamiliar.

Having used Ying Duo's stiff yet super-strong body for a long time, it suddenly became free, and he almost didn't recognize it as himself.

To tell Ying Duo from Yang Yixie, the simplest way is to look at the hair.

Hmm......

It's black.

Whether the roots have a hint of green, I don't know.

In this Consciousness Space, is the consciousness body his real-world form......

His spawn point is in a completely unfamiliar room; Yang Yixie confirms this place has no connection to any location in his memory.

That means this isn't his Consciousness Space.

Isn't that interesting?

He happens to be in a living room right now, the house small, with dark brown wooden floors.

Through the window he can see the outside world, apparently a spot of the Dome; the distant Dome skyscraper is overly iconic.

Yang Yixie scanned the room's furnishings; the table lamp here bears intricate Runes, glowing without any wiring.

It's Rune technology from the game world.

It seems ordinary here, but in the wasteland world, such ordinary is also a luxury.

He also found a family portrait; in the photo were a family of four, with the parents standing in the back and the two youths in the front.

The father's face was somewhat square, with high cheekbones; in the photo he smiled especially foolishly, the mother had one hand holding his and the other gently embracing the youth in front of her.

The slightly older youth also put his hand on the shoulder of the person beside him, while the smaller one, wearing Black-framed Glasses, was as happy as a cat placed on a windowsill basking in the sun.

Willingly retracting all his claws, he curled up in his own tiny little world.

The family of four in the photo was especially happy, and Yang Yixie's gaze lingered especially long on that "father".

That was Yang Yixie's father, whose image had almost faded from his memory.
