Chapter 50: then translation of title

"This is..."

"Laboratory?"

By the light of the awakening god lantern, Su Hao saw the layout of the room clearly.

The room's area isn't very large, only about two to three hundred square meters.

In the middle of the room, that is, the position directly opposite the door, there are five experimental tables made of unknown black rock.

On them are many experimental instruments of unknown purpose, including beakers engraved with special runes and alcohol lamps burning with blood-red flames.

On either side of the room against the walls, each side has three glass containers about two meters tall, cylindrical, inside which lies a constantly writhing, foam-like, bright red mass of flesh.

Against the wall opposite the door stand three black coffins, the same style as those used by Western vampires.

It is obvious that this is a laboratory, belonging to the castle's owner, a supernatural being suspected to be a necromancer, used for magical experiments.

Such a well-preserved laboratory surely contains many valuable things; if we could find some of the necromancer's leftover experimental materials, we'd strike it rich!

Su Hao grinned and strode inside.

"Gulu Gulu Qi, you're in charge of the left side; mark anything you don't recognize for me!"

"Roar!"

Da Xiong Mao let out a low growl and slowly walked toward the left side of the laboratory.

Su Hao then placed the awakening god lantern on the central experimental table and began carefully searching the room's supplies.

If anyone else came to this laboratory, just these instruments on the table would leave them completely bewildered.

They simply don't know what these things are used for or which are valuable, as shown by Da Xiong Mao's clueless expression.

But Su Hao is different; although he hasn't seen these instruments either, he has the Item Appraisal Technique.

What's the problem with not knowing? Just use the Item Appraisal Technique to identify them, and that's it.

Su Hao smiled slightly and used the Item Appraisal Technique on a beaker engraved with special runes on the experimental table.

【Blood Flesh Refining Beaker】

Supernatural Grade: First Rank

Effect: One of the main instruments for making Stitching Monsters; place uninfected, unblemished flesh into the beaker to remove impurities and purify the flesh for use in making Stitching Monsters.

"Stitching Monster? Could it be that..."

After reading the appraisal result, Su Hao's eyes flashed with insight as he looked at the various test devices on the table, forming a bold hypothesis.

If this beaker is one of the main instruments for making Stitching Monsters, then could the other instruments...

Thinking this, Su Hao's heart quickened, and he applied the Item Appraisal Technique to each of the remaining devices on the table.

【Fresh Blood Alcohol Lamp】

【Stitching Thread Manufacturing Liquid】

【Stitching Thread Manufacturing Device】

【Flesh Activation Device】

【Stitching Monster Assembly Device】

"Holy shit?! This is actually three whole sets of equipment for making Stitching Monsters?!!"

After examining all the experimental equipment on the table and the information about the three coffins against the wall opposite the entrance, Su Hao first widened his eyes, then broke into an excited smile.

These devices, and those three coffins, are exactly the equipment for making Stitching Monsters!

All that's needed is to place the corresponding materials into these devices on the table, combine with the appropriate methods and formulas, and you can produce the corresponding materials for making Stitching Monsters.

Finally, place these materials into the 【Stitching Monster Assembly Device】, that is, into those three coffins, then use the 【Stitching Monster Creation】 or corresponding bodily modification skills to create the desired Stitching Monster.

Theoretically, as long as there are sufficient materials and time, Stitching Monsters can be produced continuously.

If the materials used are of sufficiently high grade and the formula sufficiently unique, even producing fourth- or fifth-rank Stitching Monsters is not impossible.

Although the wolf-head Stitching Monsters on the second floor were blown up by Su Hao and Da Xiong Mao, even the double-headed Stitching Monsters on the third floor were slain by Su Hao in a cross-rank solo kill.

But this only shows that Su Hao and Da Xiong Mao's personal strength is too strong, not that Stitching Monsters are inadequate.

Even the wolf-head Stitching Monsters possess Supernatural First Rank strength, and their left wolf head can unleash sharp wind blade techniques; unexpectedly, they once sliced off Su Hao's head!

Even a supernatural being like Ling Xue'er would likely fall to them in a one-on-one fight against monsters of this strength.

If we could mass-produce wolf-head Stitching Monsters, they would be a great asset for either defending the shelter or accompanying Su Hao on expeditions.

However, the prerequisite for achieving this is having sufficient materials, and——

the Stitching Monster Creation skill, or corresponding bodily modification skills!

"Sigh! This is just too troublesome!"

Su Hao shook his head and sighed regretfully.

As far as he knows, the Stitching Monster Creation skill can only be learned by necromancers.

As for other bodily modification-type skills, Su Hao hasn't heard of them either.

Therefore, Su Hao's plan to form a Stitching Monster squad has little chance of being realized anytime soon.

But even so, these instruments are a huge fortune; as long as Su Hao later obtains flesh-modification-related skills, he can begin crafting Stitching Monsters.

Moreover, Su Hao possesses the Synthesis Heart, enabling him to synthesize more precious materials and create even stronger Stitching Monsters.

If he studies the formulas thoroughly, he might be able to produce Stitching Monsters far exceeding ordinary expectations!

However, that's a story for later.

"Whoosh——!"

"Let's put these things away first!"

Su Hao took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and stored all the instruments on the five experimental tables and the three coffins into his Storage Bag.

Fortunately, before he came out today, he had emptied all the miscellaneous items from the two storage bags; otherwise, the storage bags would probably have been filled up.

"Hmm…… These tables look not bad either……"

Su Hao stroked his chin, then used the Item Appraisal Technique on a lab bench beside him.

【Magic Crystal Experiment Table】

Supernatural Grade: Second Rank

Effect: An experiment table entirely made of magic crystal, which can accelerate the reaction of surrounding experimental items and reduce the chance of experimental failure, and itself possesses considerable hardness.

……

"Holy shit?! This is actually another second-tier supernatural item; the owner of this castle is damn rich!"

Looking at the content displayed by the appraisal result, Su Hao was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but sigh.

After entering this ancient castle, Su Hao had already obtained three second-tier supernatural items: the Freshness-Preserving Water Storage Tank, the Magic Crystal Experiment Table, and the Stitching Monster Assembly Device, not to mention over ten to twenty first-tier supernatural items.

And this is only after just exploring the second floor of the castle!

Even though Su Hao knew the ruins would yield considerable gains, obtaining so many good things still far exceeded his expectations.

"Gurulu gurulu qi, come help a bit!"

Since items connected to the ground cannot be directly stored in the storage bag.

To store these five experiment tables in the storage bag, they must first be pried loose from the ground.

Fortunately, both Su Hao and the Da Xiong Mao possess considerable strength; after a short while, they pried the five experiment tables loose and then stored them one by one in the storage bag.

"Huh? What is this?"

After putting away the last experiment table, Su Hao saw an iron tin box exposed beneath where the experiment table had been.

Inside the iron tin box lay a notebook over twenty centimeters thick.

Upon opening the first page of the notebook, Su Hao's face lit up with surprise and joy.
