Chapter 918 Catalysis 1

 [Mission ‘Fruit Battle’ completed, experience +50 billion, a carbon-based fruit, throne reserve]

 Gaogong glanced at the system panel and quickly focused on the big tree in the center of the biology laboratory.

The big tree has intertwined roots and curling branches, and its vitality can be seen at a glance.

Although the original ‘Holy Tree Remains’ also had great power, after all, they were affected by the wave of cybernetic waves and were somewhat sluggish.

However, the new buds of the 'Holy Tree' are now growing rapidly, and the green crown is like a canopy. The plant's self-circulation system even covers the Star Destroyer. Players inside the ship have all been superimposed with a 'life recovery +20%' buff. People feel refreshed and the sluggishness caused by long-distance interstellar travel is wiped away.

“Carbon-based fruits can actually restore the vitality of ‘higher-order plants’. This is the first time I know about it.”

“To be precise, this fruit created a huge ‘planetary magnetic field’. Under the influence of this magnetic field, the planet tree seemed to have penetrated into the core of the planet and developed a second time.”

 In the center of the big tree, a half-ripe fruit is absorbing a huge amount of nutrients.

 But the amazing thing is that this kind of "absorption" does not come at the expense of consuming the nutrients of the big tree, but instead achieves a very strange symbiotic state.

 Three biological experts, Dr. Yu, Ye Daluoli, and Huang Yuanli, are using instruments to detect the status of the plants in front of them.

“How long will it take for this fruit to ripen a second time?”

Huang Yuanli grasped part of the power of the 'brain in the vat', closed her eyes, and integrated her self-awareness into the tree. After a while, she raised her head:

 “Three months.”

Dr. Yu, who was operating the testing equipment, also nodded.

 “The data on my side is the same.”

 Ye Daluoli was more interested in Gao Gong's current state. Her dark power landed on the red figure and came up empty.

 It seemed as if there were no living people at all.

“Is this your ‘fusion transformation’? I remember, wasn’t your transformation into a super mutant monster?”

Gao Gong did not answer, but looked at the other person with a half-smile.

With just this glance, a ray of red light seemed to penetrate deep into her heart and be bound to her superpower.

 “What kind of ability do you have!?”

 Ye Da Loli was shocked.

“Genetic manipulation” of advanced carbon-based species, all carbon-based species below this level will be assimilated.”

Gao Gong said softly.

 “This is a little trick I learned from my battle with Hercules.”

 “You were just fighting a monster of this level!?”

 Ye Daluoli now finally understands that Gao Gong's current level of strength is simply unfathomable.

 ‘Dong Dong—’

 There was a knock on the door.

 Soon, a training cabin and a mechanical cabin were pushed in.

  In the culture cabin is the physical body copied by the senior engineer through cloning, soaked in high-grade nutrient solution, and there is a vague human body.

 In the mechanical warehouse, there is a mechanical skeleton with luxurious equipment, a fire reactor, high-level implants, killing structures, and adamantium alloy, which are almost identical to the high engineer's body.

 As a boss-level boss, how could he only have a body and be assassinated?

 Red light shines on the two different bodies, and the fused energy seeps into them.

Soon, through the 'cell-level cloning' of the third-level building - the Brood Restorer, the semi-formed clone body quickly changed into the appearance of a senior engineer. He stood up naked from the culture cabin and glanced at the unknown person. Ashamed, the three women looked at them with wide eyes and threw themselves directly towards the mechanical body opposite.

Soon, the engines at each joint on the mechanical body began to roar wildly, and the same red light began to light up on a pair of 'electronic eyes', until it was covered by the generated flesh-and-blood retina, and then the light stopped.

Gao Gong moved his new body and tapped his chest with interest.

“This is the newly developed spark reactor? The efficiency is actually 10 times that of the previous generation reactor.”

“This is the only mature product that was developed before Sister Du left. It uses the ‘fire energy technology’ of those fire machines.”

“Director Du’s voice is still there, I don’t know how she was doing dusting at other construction sites—”

Gao Gong sighed, missing his rich wife Qingmei for a moment, and then opened his mouth.

Just like the 'Big Demon King Piccolo' spitting out his own balls, countless blood streaks spilled out of his throat, and finally, he spit out a 'blood fruit'. The shape of this fruit is similar to the one on the tree. The only difference is that it is smaller and the outer skin is shriveled and in a semi-rotted state.

The ladies present all followed the biological route. As soon as this ‘zombie fruit’ appeared, the three women felt a strong discomfort.

Dr. Yu suppressed his physical discomfort and said with shining eyes:

“Like the fruit on the tree, is this also a ‘carbon-based fruit’?”

“To be precise, it is a ‘zombie fruit’.”

 “Lend me to study!”

 “Let’s wait until the fruit grows.”

 “Then lend me your new body to play with.”

Gao Gong glanced at the other party and once again confirmed that the 'Gravity Fruit' was being gestated, he left the biology laboratory directly.

These women are always greedy for their own bodies.

Hum, he doesn’t want to dissect them for fun.

 …

 In his room, the senior engineer was familiar with his new body while playing with the ‘zombie fruit’ in his hand.

In order to deal with Hercules, he absorbed the ‘Zombie No. 0’, and now when he spit it out, it turned into a ‘carbon-based fruit’.

 To be honest, although Gao Gong and Hercules fought before and finally entered the fusion mode, they didn't actually exert much power.

 The main thing is the ability of this ‘fruit’.

 The essence of the evolutionary system of billions of zombies is now in the hands of Gao Gong.

  5%

 In the past three months, Gao Gong repeatedly brushed points and raised the upper limit of transformation from 10% to 7%.

 This has reached its limit.

However, in the previous battle with Hercules, the collision of the two carbon-based fruit abilities suddenly slowed down the progress of the 'Zombie Fruit'.

It was this kind of progress that allowed Gao Gong to understand the ability of the ‘zombie fruit’.

Not only can it reduce the human body transformation rate, but also the time for ‘fruit fusion’ can be greatly reduced.

 No wonder it is at the core of the carbon-based **** system.

 In the war of gods, this thing is a big killer!

 And falling from 7% to 5%, completely changing the shape of the human body, achieving ‘0%’ does not seem to be completely impossible.

‘Could it be that if carbon-based fruits want to grow stronger, they must fight with different types of fruits and evolve from the battles? ’

 Gao Gong quickly rejected the idea.

 It won’t be that simple.

Gao Gong activated the computing function of the 'biological computer' to analyze the 'super CG' just frame by frame, and quickly discovered the subtleties.

“The progress of the fruit seems to have occurred because I completely entered the fusion mode and injected the power of fusion into it.”

“So, the power of the ‘fusion route’ can ripen fruits!?”

 Gao Gong expressed surprise at this discovery.

 If this is the case, he can even sit on the Carbon Throne before ascending!

 Do whatever comes to your mind.

Soon, wisps of red light lit up from Gao Gong’s palm.

 Through continuous development, Gao Gong has become relatively proficient in mastering the power of ‘fusion’.

 With the injection of red light, the shriveled ‘carbon-based fruit’ became even shriveled.

 However, under the influence of Gao Gong, the upper limit of the fruit actually began to loosen.

 5%, 4.9%, 4.8%…

  3%

2%!
