But there's more to it?
What's missing? Is it the stench of the Ratman?
Huai Shi was still not satisfied with the result that everyone had come up with after putting in so much effort. Ma Weir instinctively wanted to refute, but when he thought about how Huai Shi wasn't a layman who didn't know anything and wanted to casually criticize him, he forcefully restrained himself.
After a long silence, he asked, "Then, do you have any suggestions?"
"Sorry, I didn't mean to pick on you." Huai Shi scratched his head and thought for a moment. "I just feel that it's a little too dry. See, since you're looking for excitement, why don't we go all the way?"
"Huh?" Marvel was stunned.
They had almost transformed the Ratman into an Abyssal Muscle Lord. How was it not thorough enough?
"For example, look at these bones —"
Huai Shi rubbed his chin and thought for a long time. "Since we've already transformed so much, there's no need to pay attention to the original taste of the bones, right? Many physical skills are limited by the strength of the bones and can't be used. But why can't we completely transform the Ratman's bones? I remember that there's an alchemy solvent that can transform bones into metal, right? I think it's called Iron Marrow Replacement Solvent? "
As a professional metal alchemist, Huai Shi was very familiar with this. "You see, as long as we completely transform the bones into metal, there's still a lot of room for us to work on the other parts."
"Uh, but …" Marvel turned back and said, "The alchemy medicine you mentioned needs to be combined with a larger scale of ritual and ritual. Otherwise, the accuracy won't be so high. After the transformation, the bones may become pure iron ingots. Even the hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow and the external nerves will be killed."
"You don't have to worry about that."
Huai Shi smiled and raised his hand. In the palm of his hand, countless fine pieces of iron grew like crystals. "I'm a professional."
He had been using the Sealing Hand to assist in alchemy experiments for a long time. The application of the medicine and the range of tempering was a piece of cake.
As long as there were a few more directional runes on the ritual, it would be fine.
"We need to discuss this further."
As a scholar, Marvel didn't dare to agree immediately. He turned around and walked towards the conference room. But after taking two steps, he turned back and looked at Huai Shi. "Why don't you join us?"
"Perfect."
Huai Shi put away the blueprint, raised his head, and smiled. "I also have a lot of inspiration to share with everyone."
On the operating table, the ignorant rat-man suddenly trembled.
It was as if he had sensed the arrival of a nightmare.
.
.
The efficient meeting lasted for a total of four hours.
Four hours later, the leader of the gargoyles suddenly received a signal from Huai Shi, inviting it to the infirmary.
After the bat-winged demon squeezed through the door of the infirmary with great difficulty, he saw a row of scholars and alchemists who had been waiting for a long time raise their heads in unison, revealing strange and chilling gazes.
It was as if he was looking at a white mouse.
Something is wrong with all of you!
The gargoyle felt a chill at the back of its head.
Before it had time to raise its guard, it saw Huai Shi, who was wearing a white coat, standing at the front with a smile on his face. He raised his head and asked, "You're here? Are you interested in taking a CT scan? "
Yes, yes, of course I am!
The gargoyle nodded frantically, afraid that it would be dissected by this group of people in front of it if it hesitated.
By the time it left the infirmary, trembling in fear, an hour had already passed. During this process, it cooperated with all of the strange examinations, including but not limited to CT scans of various parts, color ultrasounds, and even deeper Origin Substance samples.
Occasionally, the gazes of the scholars were even more frightening than when they were dissecting a living being. The pressure on its mind was at its peak. When it was finally told that it could leave, it still couldn't believe it.
After repeatedly confirming that they wouldn't be subjected to any strange experiments or dissecting, it ran away faster than a rabbit.
The Ivory Tower had too many tricks up its sleeves. If it weren't for the restrictions of the contract, it would have just run away.
After it left, the scholars in the infirmary exchanged their opinions. Finally, they looked at Huai Shi and said, "Your proposal is theoretically possible, and it also avoids the situation of needing to take all kinds of medicine to maintain it during its four-month shelf life. If it is maintained well, it can even be used for more than ten years.
But without testing it, we still have no way of confirming whether or not this method is feasible. "
"Then let's give it a try. True knowledge comes from practice! "
As he spoke, Huai Shi looked over the medical records of the seriously injured in his hands. He picked out the 'lucky person' who was about to become the 'new era ratman'.
Which lucky group member would it be?
It really made him look forward to it … …
.
Tempered bones, three layers of sub-brains, neural structure optimization, organ transplantation, immune system and circulatory system modification, and finally, all kinds of artificial devices implanted, as well as all kinds of alchemy equipment used continuously throughout the entire process.
From the inside out, all of the cumbersome and useless organs were replaced.
The reproductive system was removed — it was not like they were going to give birth. The digestive system was removed and replaced with a more advanced source substance supply system …
After completely replacing all the parts of the ratman's body, what was produced was a brand-new creature born from the original ratman's foundation.
A powerful tool rat created by relying on the ratman's super adaptability to external organs!
In the operating room that could be considered the most advanced even if it was repeated several times in the entire territory, the two scholars who were the chief surgeons and Huai Shi, who was the assistant throughout the entire process, had stitched up the last thread. It had already been eight hours.
It was their first time doing it, and they lacked experience. Many things could not be replaced by machines, so it took a little longer. If they were given a few more chances, they would be able to shorten the time to less than four hours.
At this moment, looking at the three-meter-tall creation in front of them, an indescribable pride suddenly rose in their hearts.
The tempered bones all over their body were enough to walk freely in the harshest environment, and the most advanced artificial muscles gave them invincible strength.
Just these two things installed on their bodies were already dozens of times more valuable than the ratman's net worth. Not to mention the layers of alchemy arrays attached to the bones during the process, as well as the large group of cloned organs from various hells in the body.
Even the most powerful troll in the Black Death Corps could not be compared to this tool rat in front of them. This was already an out-and-out war machine, a battlefield meat grinder and a sower of destruction.
If it were not for the special situation, this kind of experiment with absolutely no cost-performance ratio would not have been approved by the purser.
After hollowing out an old-fashioned computer and replacing it with the most advanced configurations, the final result was as unaesthetic as a stitched monster.
But to be honest, it was really too interesting …
No wonder there were so many Frankenstein monsters who liked to mess around. Who could resist this kind of temptation to do whatever they wanted!
They could only be thankful that there was no bill of rights or ethical system in the Abyss. Although the ratman had the word "human" in it, in reality, they were not human at all.
Anyway, they were all seriously injured to the point of dying, so they did not have any psychological burden at all when they worked.
Wasn't this also for them to better contribute to the Ivory Tower?!
As long as they worked more, they would be able to regain their freedom as soon as possible!
Huai Shi and the others did not even collect the upgrade fee. This was an act of benevolence.
As for the scholars who were yelling about how the flesh was weak, they were just there to join in the fun and cause trouble. It was like a game where you could live for ten dollars. They just wanted to see how much they could strengthen the cannon fodder ratman … …
In the end, everyone was very satisfied with the results.
There was only one problem left.
"This ratman is stupid."
The scholar in charge of the surgery held a taser and poked the awakened ratman back and forth. "There is no reaction to any stimulation … … let's check the Origin Substance."
"The Origin Substance is still in the silent state of anesthesia. No, even soul stimulation is useless."
"Let's try some morphine?"
"It's not like this is emergency treatment. What's the point of going through so much trouble? If you ask me, drink a can of chili powder, and there will be a reaction. "
"Damn, chili powder guy, aren't you from the Mechanical Transmission Department? How did you end up here? "
"I'm just giving you a suggestion, a suggestion, and I'll leave … … hey, hey, hey, why are you guys chasing me away? I want to see Huai Shi, I want to see the Great Grandmaster. I've contributed to the Ivory Tower, I've contributed to the Iron Crystal Constellation … …"
The door slammed shut.
After everyone else was chased away, everyone began to examine the awakened ratman.
In the end, they came to a helpless conclusion.
"There's nothing we can do. Instincts like reflexes still exist, but the Origin Substance has already collapsed."
Marvel took off the mask on his face. "There are too many steps to the modification process. The ratman's consciousness probably collapsed halfway through. Mr. Huai Shi, we still need to adjust the configuration a bit … … "
There was nothing they could do. The ratman's innate constitution was just too weak.
After all, they were a race that did not have any good points apart from making soldiers. The only reason they had been able to survive until now was because of their ability to reproduce. They lived faster than they died, and their environmental tolerance and adaptability were maxed out.
However, they were still weak in nature.
The Iron Crystal Constellation's scholars had accidentally gotten too excited and modified too much. In the middle of the process, the ratman could not withstand the pressure of the alchemy array, and the Origin Substance directly collapsed.
It was even worse than a brain-dead vegetable.
After brain death, at least the Origin Substance would remain. If they were lucky, they might even be able to form something similar. However, after the Origin Substance structure collapsed, they would basically be dead.
All that was left was a sturdy husk.
"There's nothing we can do. It's not like we're driving a Gundam. We can't just stuff any parts into it. Let's try the lower configuration version. Mr. Huai Shi? Mr. Huai Shi, are you listening? "
In the silence, Huai Shi stood in front of the operating table, looking down at the massive ratman in front of him. It was as if he could not accept the reality of this failure and was stunned.
Marvel sighed. He was just about to go up and say a few words of consolation, "Experiments always fail. Rome wasn't built in a day … …" when Huai Shi turned around, he saw a strange light in Marvel's eyes.
It was hard to hide his excitement.
"What … … did you just say?"
"Uh, Rome wasn't built in a day?"
"Did you say that?"
"Ahem, I was just about to say it … … I just said to try the lower configuration version?"
"What about the previous sentence?"
"It's not like we're driving a Gundam?"
"That's right!"
Huai Shi clapped his hands excitedly, almost dancing with joy. However, it was not because of the breakthrough in the experiment in front of him, but because he had suddenly found a new path for his large group of subordinates.
Ghosts, didn't they have to possess a body?
He waved his hand, and a burning flag appeared. It was suddenly nailed into the ground of the operating theater. Then, the Crow with the Candle emerged from the burial ground and landed on Huai Shi's shoulder.
"Ga ga!!!"
It cried out and tilted its head to look at Huai Shi. It did not know what was going on.
Huai Shi raised his hand and pointed at the experimental subject in front of him. After the Crow with the Candle cried out, the flame on the candlestick at the corner of its mouth suddenly jumped and expanded, covering the entire Crow.
Then, as the flame was extinguished, the Crow with the Candle turned into a wisp of gray mist. Under Huai Shi's command, it floated down to the empty body below.
It sank into it.
At that moment, the burly giant rat's eyelids trembled. New ripples suddenly appeared on the originally straight line of Origin Form reflection.
It opened its eyes with difficulty, but it had reached its limit.
The body was too large and heavy. It was difficult for a single Crow with the Candle to carry such a huge burden.
Then, add a few more!
Huai Shi waved his hand, and several ghosts jumped out. Their Origin Form with the Dream Attribute was activated, and their entire silhouettes became translucent. They formed a mist and rushed into it.
One, two, three … … Until six ordinary Crow were added, the war machine on the operating table suddenly stood up and fell to the ground.
Like a newborn, it waved its arms and legs wildly, struggling to adapt to this new body.
After a long time, it finally supported itself against the wall and crawled up.
Its head, which was covered in stitches, stiffly looked around. Its dull eyes gradually turned scarlet, which came from a nightmare.
Then, it lit up with a fanatical light.
"Caw — —"
It opened its mouth and used a hoarse and sharp voice to shout out its first words after coming to this world.
"— — Holy!!!"
At that moment, intense Origin Form fluctuations rose from the giant Rat Man's body.
As the empty shell was unified by the crows, the flesh and the soul fused into one, and an indescribable change appeared in its body.
No, it should be that some mechanism in the Abyss had been activated.
It was operating here, and a miracle had descended.
As it twitched and trembled violently, the giant Rat Man suddenly bent down. The hair on its body rapidly grew, covering it and enveloping it.
Amidst the intense pain, it knelt on the ground and sincerely praised Huai Shi.
On Huai Shi's head, the prince's crown that had disappeared for a long time reappeared. It lit up and emitted a dazzling light.
In the distance, the mighty voice of paradise sounded. Under the illumination of the light, the emblem of paradise faintly appeared on the Rat Man's head.
On that huge body, countless long hair interweaved together. In the end, it formed a thick and clumsy puppet suit.
It was similar to the one he had seen on a kitten.
However, it looked completely different from a kitten. Instead, it was black and white, and it was wearing red suspenders. Its hands and feet were long, and there were two huge round ears on its head.
There were no traces of man-made features. It was as if it was born like this.
And that head looked quite similar to the three circles Huai Shi had drawn when he summoned the legal department.
As if they had sensed something, the spirits of the legal department, who had been sleeping in the shadow of Huai Shi, suddenly appeared here. They were aggressive and had gloomy expressions on their faces, as if they were here to collect a debt.
However, when they saw Huai Shi and the mutated Rat Man, they revealed an unprecedented sluggish expression.
It was unbelievable.
After a long time, they raised a sign and held it upside down.
