Chapter 168: Chapter 168: The Runic Giant Bull
Thinking about this, Zeng Shen looked around the walls, finally walking to the left side and knocking on it with his fist.
"Thud thud thud..."
A hollow, echoing sound resonated.
"Master, there's an echo," Asha immediately pointed out upon hearing the sound.
Zeng Shen nodded, "There should be a wall here. I'll teleport through and check it out. Wait here for me."
"Understood, Master."
With that, Zeng Shen focused his mind, teleporting through the wall.
In an instant, he found himself in front of a wall made of translucent white tiles.
"Indeed, there's a wall here," Zeng Shen muttered, turning his head.
He realized he was in a room filled with daily necessities like tissues, towels, cups, bottles, disinfectant, masks, and gloves.
"This must be a small daily supplies warehouse," Zeng Shen surmised and walked towards the warehouse door, opening it to peek at a corridor.
The corridor was brightly lit by a row of ceiling lights, illuminating the rooms on either side.
Zeng Shen left the small warehouse, moving down the corridor towards the next section, stopping at the door of a room labeled "Polygenic Fusion Technology Research."
"Isn't this the research Jack's lab is working on?" Zeng Shen wondered, focusing his mind and passing through the door into the room.
The room's setup was similar to what he had seen at Jack's research facility, filled with precise instruments. Three researchers in white lab coats were conducting fusion experiments around the equipment.
Nearby, several laptops displayed the latest findings and feasibility studies from the Old Xinshan Biological Gene Institute.
"Wow, this is the Trant family's secret biological gene research base. Clearly, they've set up a team to acquire a significant amount of fusion technology from the Big Trouble's official biological research base," Zeng Shen pondered, casting a Peering Eye at the three researchers to see if any would become a beast deity.
Soon, he received identical feedback for all three.
[Twisted Beast Form: These gene researchers, unable to escape during the secret realm's transformation, have become terrifying secret realm monsters after their bodies accidentally fused with bio-genetic liquid from the instruments and test tubes. Killing them will reward you with a green elite will gene potion.]
Upon confirming that these three would only become secret realm monsters, Zeng Shen decided not to linger in the room.
The research here, incomprehensible and uninteresting to him, would be reset after the divine energy eruption.
As for killing the researchers, Zeng Shen dismissed the idea...
Leaving the room, Zeng Shen teleported to the next room labeled "Human-Animal Gene Fusion Test."
Finding nothing of interest, he moved to the next room, marked "Gene Disruption and Reassembly Experiment."
After leaving that room, he checked several others.
Disheartened by the lack of any beast deities among the researchers, Zeng Shen muttered, "How big is this secret underground gene research facility?" He walked to the corridor's end and turned around.
At that moment, his face showed disbelief.
At the corridor's end was a large hall, the size of a basketball court.
In the center were several intricate machines, and five giant cattle pens stood before the machines.
In these pens were California Dairy Cows, slightly larger than those above, each with wires connected to the machines.
The cows were fitted with numerous drip tubes, leading to a large glass container holding a thumb-sized piece of Green Dew Imperial Jade, glowing brightly.
Nearby, scientists in white lab coats observed the computer screens displaying data from the cows, occasionally expressing excitement.
"Wow, they're using the Green Dew Imperial Jade to emit faint energy and collecting it by soaking, then infusing it into these cows to trigger the unique phenomenon of animal growth through divine energy," Zeng Shen mused as he walked toward the hall center, overhearing a middle-aged researcher excitedly telling a white-haired professor:
"After half a month of research, Professor An, we've finally succeeded in creating a microbeast potion."
Zeng Shen sneered at the middle-aged researcher's claim.
"If microbeast potions could be created this way, wouldn't I be able to make a bunch myself?"
"Have they even tested whether the animals can retain divine energy in their bodies once the needles are removed?"
Reflecting on when he consumed stamina and energy potions, Zeng Shen recalled discussions on divine energy existing in cells before dissipating.
"Retaining divine energy before the eruption on Blue Star is truly challenging," Zeng Shen mused, approaching the researchers and casting a Peering Eye at each California Dairy Cow.
Instantly, five panels visible only to him appeared.
[Beast-Type Creature: Runic Giant Bull]
[Quality: Lord]
[Tier 3: 0/10000]
[Name: Unnamed.]
[Skills: Not Comprehended.]
[Believer: None]
[Mood: Excited]
[Analysis: A Runic Giant Bull leader, prone to agitation after divine energy exposure.]
"Finally found you," Zeng Shen thought, his heart leaping with joy.
With these California Dairy Cows transforming into beasts, the future California Tauren would easily become his followers.
