"Can you give me some of this Zerg cultivation fluid?"
Feng Luo looked at Lin expectantly.
"You'll have to ask Master Kelly about this."
Lin raised her head and looked at the black-haired NPC scientist beside her.
"What kind of cultivation fluid do you need?"
Master Kelly did not reject him.
"There's a chance … But does the cultivation fluid need to be divided into different types?"
Feng Luo was delighted, but then he froze.
"Of course it needs to be differentiated. This kind of Zerg cultivation fluid is made by mixing the various elements needed for the growth of the Zerg according to the ratio, and by using various substances to speed up their growth, it allows them to advance and evolve.
"Different Zerg units require different growth substances, so the composition of the culture fluid is naturally very different as well."
Of course, you can also mix a mixed cultivation fluid that contains all kinds of elements, but the effect will definitely not be comparable to this kind of specialized cultivation fluid, and it might even be ineffective. "
Master Kelly answered matter-of-factly.
"There's such a setting?"
Feng Luo finally understood.
Why did the "Advanced Zerg cultivation fluid" he saw before not mention that it could increase levels? It was probably a mixed cultivation fluid, and its main function was to promote "evolution."
However, different Zerg units required different cultivation fluids.
This undoubtedly limited Feng Luo's thoughts.
That was because the general Zerg culture fluid must have been found in the A-2 laboratory's information.
However, it was definitely impossible to have a cultivation fluid for the beetles … Even a mixed nutrient fluid might not be useful.
What should I do?
Feng Luo frowned.
"I need a special cultivation fluid. The goal of cultivation might be different from the Zerg, so I don't think there's a ready-made cultivation fluid. So, I wonder if Master Kelly can help me make some cultivation fluids? "
Then, his eyes inadvertently swept past the black-haired NPC Master who was waiting for his reply, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
How could he have forgotten that this NPC was a Master of Biology?
Not having a cultivation fluid was no problem. Could it be that an NPC Master who had the basics could not research a cultivation fluid?
"Making a new cultivation fluid is a very time-consuming task … I still have a research mission arranged by the higher-ups to complete …"
Hearing that, Grandmaster Kelly revealed a troubled expression.
"It won't take up too much of your time, Master Kelly. The nutrient fluid I need shouldn't be too different from the insectoid's nutrient fluid, so I don't need a new one. Also, I know that your time is very precious, so I will apply to the higher-ups and personally give you financial support … "
Feng Luo quickly replied.
"If that's the case … I can spare some time to help you, but I can't guarantee success."
"Also, speaking of funding, there's something else that needs to be mentioned. Up until now, your pet has consumed a total of 10,000 milliliters of cultivation fluid. According to the cost calculation, it's about 1,000,000 credits! "
Grandmaster Kelly's eyes, which were conspicuous under his dark skin, revealed a satisfied look as he said.
One million Credits and 200,000 Credits to upgrade to Level 1?
The price … was not expensive.
Even if he had to pay a few times more, Feng Luo would still be willing to pay!
Of course, if the cultivation fluid for ordinary beetles was so expensive, it would definitely be somewhat unbearable.
…
"This is where the worms are kept … So far, only five have been bred!"
In an area of the research base, Master Kelly used her identity authority to open the door to the breeding room.
What appeared in front of Feng Luo and her were five Zergs the size of a calf. After seeing the two of them enter, they kept charging at the reinforced glass separating them.
"Yes, in the breeding treasure beside it, there are three Hydralisks and two Wyverns. As for the other insectoid units, they haven't been bred yet! "
Master Kelly said.
The Federation government and army did not pay much attention to the "nest" project.
In their eyes, the God Creation Project, which could allow humans to reach Boss-level combat power, was the most important.
As such, in the entire research lab, only three basic combat units of the insectoid race had been bred — the Zergs, Hydralisks, and Wyverns!
This was also why Master Kelly, who was an important member of the nest project, had agreed to help Feng Luo concoct the cultivation fluid to earn some extra income.
"24K … Let's give it a try!"
Feng Luo turned his head and looked at 24K, who was using its small claws to grab an energy crystal core and munching on it.
"Squeak, squeak …"
24K put the remaining energy crystal core into Feng Luo's pocket. Then, without moving its wings, it floated in front of the reinforced glass isolating the Zerg breeding room.
After that, its pair of golden eyes emitted two translucent yellow lights.
"Hiss …"
Inside the breeding room, the ferocious Insectoid that had been tearing and biting at the tempered glass suddenly shuddered!
Then, it suddenly stopped moving.
"Yes, it's effective …"
Feng Luo's gaze was fixed on the five insectoids, his eyes filled with anticipation.
After about two seconds, the insectoid moved again, pouncing directly at 24K on the other side of the glass.
"Hiss …"
However, after pouncing in front of the glass, it did not bite and attack like before.
Instead, it turned its body over and placed its back on the ground. Then, it spun and rolled on the ground, like a docile puppy showing its submission.
"Success!"
Without needing 24K to send the message through the mental link, Feng Luo already knew the result.
24K had really controlled this insectoid.
Moreover, it had permanently controlled it through the Psionic Energy Invasion in its simple brain, modifying its consciousness and other methods.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …"
After another half a minute, the remaining four insectoids had all become docile puppies, obedient in all kinds of ways.
A total of five Elite units, all Level 50 Zerg units, had become 24K's underlings.
This was much faster than incubating beetles. After all, Elite Grade beetles were not that easy to cultivate.
After experimenting for a while and confirming that these insectoids were really completely controlled by 24K, Feng Luo excitedly moved to the Hydralisk breeding room with Master Kelly.
However, there was a problem here.
"Boom!"
A Hydralisk was first controlled by 24K, and it swam around in the breeding room a few times.
However, after two minutes, after 24K withdrew its control, the Hydralisk trembled all over.
The hydralisk's entire body shuddered, and then it actually went berserk, directly spitting out all its acid at the specially made glass, displaying an aggressive stance.
Permanent control failed!
"Its resistance is too strong. Can't your Psionic Energy be enough to permanently change its consciousness?"
When they entered the breeding room of the Wyvern, the result was that after only a few seconds of control, the two Wyverns broke free from 24K's control and kept spitting fireballs in their direction.
24K's message through the mental link made Feng Luo understand the reason.
"So, the so-called Psionic Energy strength is actually referring to the level …"
Feng Luo saw it.
24K could only control Zergs, but to permanently control them, the target's base level must not be higher than its own.
Currently, it was Level 50, and the Zergs were also Level 50, so it could be permanently controlled.
However, the Hydralisk's base level was Level 55, so it could not be completely controlled. As for the higher base level Wyverns, they could only be controlled for a few seconds before breaking free.
As for the higher level Zerg units, although there was no experiment, it was already possible to guess.
"Is there still a system restriction … Looks like completing the mission will really take some time …" Feng Luo looked a little disappointed.
He looked at the mission panel. The two Epic-grade missions, "Nest Plan" and "Heart of the King Zerg (3)," did not have any notification of completion or progress increase.
Clearly, the system did not recognize 24K's status as the "Zerg King Zerg" just by being able to control a Level-50 Zerg.
It was likely that these two missions would only be considered complete after the Zerg Queen was hatched and controlled.
This was a little different from Feng Luo's initial guess.
Without a way to directly control the Queen, it undoubtedly meant that the original idea of directly building a real Zerg army would naturally not be realized.
This was because 24K could not directly produce Zerg eggs. If he wanted to build a Zerg army, it would only be possible after 24K reached Level 75.
Fortunately, with the Zerg cultivation fluid, 24K's leveling up should not be too difficult.
Also, although it was a little different from what he had expected.
No matter what, the reward this time was already big enough.
Although he did not get any benefits himself, 24K had recovered and obtained two new skills.
As long as Master Kelly researched the Zerg cultivation fluid, then the speed of building a beetle army would become very fast.
As long as the number could increase, it would not be inferior to the combat power of the Zerg army that could not be increased for the time being!
"You have an automatic communication device."
After Feng Luo brought 24K out of the laboratory with communication restrictions, the communicator rang with a notification.
"The city-building mission is about to begin. This time, we need you, the number one expert of the guild, to perform. "
