Chapter 450 - 444: Gourmand Modification Succeeds
Everyone has their own choices, and everyone has their own path to walk.
Lin Yuan also didn’t have the right to make decisions for Yang Jing.
Since Yang Jing likes his current life, then he wouldn’t try to force anything.
Lin Yuan didn’t bring up the matter again and just drank and chatted with Yang Jing, mostly talking about the current affairs in Peng City.
As Yang Jing said, Peng City is quite good now.
Inside the Giant City, it’s orderly, just like society was before the Mysterious World invasion.
The only downside is that it’s not possible to travel freely like before the invasion.
In short, as long as you don’t leave the protection range of the Giant City, you’re living in a lawful society.
After leaving Yang Jing, Lin Yuan went to meet Yang Dingguo.
Although Yang Dingguo seemed to have aged a bit more, his health was still robust.
Following the Mysterious World invasion, the overall lifespan of humans had increased.
Moreover, Yang Dingguo practiced the Totem Visualization Method; unless something unexpected happens and someone kills him, he should be able to live many more years.
Seeing Lin Yuan, Yang Dingguo felt a bit sentimental.
Originally, Yang Dingguo was training Lin Yuan as his successor.
After his hundred years, Lin Yuan would replace him, leading the people of Peng City through these hard times.
However, as time passed, Yang Dingguo realized that Lin Yuan’s pace was too fast, and Peng City could no longer keep up with him.
Slowly, Lin Yuan transitioned from being Peng City’s hope to becoming the hope of the entire Dragon Country.
Yang Dingguo was still as busy as before, never idle.
It was precisely because of Yang Dingguo’s diligence that the people of Peng City could live stable lives.
Nothing comes easy; it’s simply because someone bears the weight for you as they move forward.
Yang Dingguo was like this, and so was Lin Yuan.
After spending a little time with Yang Dingguo, Lin Yuan returned home.
Seeing Lin Yuan, Wen Yingying and Day Traveler were all very happy.
Back in the familiar home, Lin Yuan also relaxed completely.
The feeling of home, it’s really nice!
Lately, Lin Yuan had no intention of leaving the Real World.
The cloud of plague over Qingqiu Mountain hasn’t completely dissipated, and Lin Yuan wants to wait for the toxic cloud to fully disperse before considering anything.
Otherwise, if Lin Yuan goes to the Mysterious World and something happens in the Real World, it would be regrettable.
The prerequisite for going to the Mysterious World and causing trouble for the World Honored is first ensuring the safety of your base.
Don’t foolishly attempt to sneak in, only to get sneaked up on yourself; that would be disastrous.
...
...
Lin Yuan here just got a few days of peaceful life when the director contacted him, telling Lin Yuan that his experiment succeeded and urged him to come quickly.
There was no choice; Lin Yuan had to return to Emperor Dragon City immediately.
He was curious to see what the director had been tinkering with all this time.
When Lin Yuan arrived at the laboratory, he saw a group of researchers gathered together, looking at something.
Lin Yuan hurriedly squeezed in, only to see the director holding a game controller and shaking it.
Lin Yuan: "??? ?? ??"
Lin Yuan thought, the director at this age is still playing games?
Looking closer, he saw a huge glass container in front, with a Gourmand inside it.
After observing carefully, Lin Yuan understood that the director could control the Gourmand’s movements with the game controller in his hand.
It seems that this Gourmand is the one modified through the experiment.
"Lin Yuan, you’re here!" The director greeted Lin Yuan upon seeing him.
Lin Yuan leaned in and asked the director, "Director, has there been any change in this Gourmand?"
The director nodded and said, "Let me demonstrate to you, and you’ll understand."
After saying that, the director instructed the people nearby, "Throw a chicken in."
Following the director’s orders, the nearby experiment staff quickly threw a chicken into the glass enclosure.
Upon seeing food, the Gourmand’s eyes still showed desire, but there was no movement.
The Gourmand’s inherent nature of crazily devouring everything was gone.
It’s impressive; the director surely has some skills!
To think he really succeeded in the modification, and in such a short time, completed this experimental transformation.
However, the more surprising part was still to come.
The director controlled the game controller, then directed the Gourmand to move towards the chicken.
After that, under the director’s control, the Gourmand swallowed the chicken whole.
The director pressed a button, and the Gourmand’s appearance began to change.
Once the transformation was complete, Lin Yuan’s eyes widened.
No way, if you transform into a chicken, then transform into a chicken, but what’s with the middle part?
Lin Yuan even suspected that if you throw a basketball in now, the Gourmand could put on a show for you.
"I’ve implanted a special chip into the Gourmand’s brain; that chip is made from the old locust tree root you brought. The game controller also contains the same kind of chip."
"This way, you can use the game controller to completely control the Gourmand’s actions."
"Next, we need to deploy this experimental specimen into the Mysterious World, while controlling it from this world."
"If it can be controlled across worlds, then the experiment is a success." Upon saying this, the director paused and looked at Lin Yuan, asking, "You know what this means, right?"
What does this mean?
Lin Yuan certainly knew.
If they could control the Gourmand’s actions across worlds,
they could then capture Gourmands in large numbers, implant chips into them, and send them to the World Honored’s territory.
These Gourmands would still retain their devour-and-evolve instinct, meaning they could rapidly grow stronger.
Moreover, they would possess the ability to transform into the appearance of people they devoured.
This way, they could control these Gourmands to devour the World Honored’s subordinates, and then disguise themselves as those subordinates.
Thinking about it, Lin Yuan felt a surge of excitement.
If that’s the case, this is a brilliant plan.
Perhaps, someday, apart from those Tier Two and Tier Three strong individuals, every other member of the World Honored One Sect could become their people.
Except for the higher-ups, the entire sect would be infiltrated by moles.
The thought alone was thrilling.
"I think it could be changed to a gaming helmet, controlled by mental intention."
"This way, it should be much more convenient!" Lin Yuan voiced his suggestion.
The director nodded in agreement with Lin Yuan’s suggestion.
Changing the game controller to a gaming helmet was like a piece of cake for the director’s research team.
After the transformation, they could directly share the Gourmand’s vision and control its actions through brainwave configurations in the gaming helmet.
