Chapter 274 The super experimental spirit beast that was buried because it was too ugly
Toyosu Third Research Institute.
This is the most famous research institute in Fengzhou and the most authoritative spiritual beast research institute in the world.
Many new spirit beasts are bred here every year and become popular spirit beasts on the market.
It's just that although the spirit beasts coming out of these research institutes are powerful, they are often expensive, so ordinary people still prefer to go to the secret realm to find wild spirit beasts to make contracts.
Just like those newly developed successful drugs, there are often countless failed products that fall into various stages. Toyoshu Third Research Institute has a large number of research projects that fail and are terminated due to various reasons every year.
The reason why many projects fail is that the strength of the final spirit beast is not satisfactory.
Spirit beasts with powerful skills often have huge flaws in their natural attributes, and spirit beasts with good attributes often do not have any powerful skills.
However, when the finished product of the project clearly shows the characteristics of failure, the institute has often invested a huge amount of money in the project.
This part of the loss can often only be spread evenly across all projects that are eventually successfully launched, so many quality spiritual beasts often have to be priced at an expensive price to make up for the cost of failed projects.
Therefore, when the government proposed a subsidy plan for failed projects, the institute certainly welcomed it and immediately applied to become a pilot unit for this plan.
However, what is slightly different from the institute's idea is that the so-called subsidies do not appear in the form of funds.
The pilot unit needs to submit the finished products of the failed projects to the special fairies of Qiudaomu for review, and then based on the on-site review, Qiudaomu will issue fairy coins as subsidies.
Fairy coins are fairy coins.
After all, it is the hard currency of the beast-controlling world and can be exchanged for cash in various ways.
What's more, as a research institution, the institute also has a hard need to use fairy coins to exchange knowledge.
Just...
"Don't you think this special goblin is a bit strange?" Researcher Wu Huifeng muttered strangely as he looked at the special goblin who was testing the experimental spirit beast of the failed project in the breeding room.
The special fairy sent by Qiudao Mu was completely different from what they imagined.
It does not have the appearance of a cute girl like the Tongshi Goblin, but instead looks like a little snail huddled in a snail shell. But the vines extending out of its shell prove its identity as a plant branch.
At this time, this special goblin was fighting fiercely with the experimental spirit beast. The fierce battle between the two sides turned the entire training room upside down.
In the end, the plant snail was one step ahead and stood proudly on top of the unconscious experimental spirit beast.
Is this a test?
Why does it feel more like a battle?
When the researchers saw this scene, they all showed confused expressions.
However, the fairy coins that arrived quickly afterwards quickly gave up this idea.
Except for a few people who still care about this special goblin, most people began to follow their boss's instructions and began to look for their own projects.
Fortunately, many of the institute's failed projects have finished products. Considering that these experimental beasts may be helpful to other research projects, the experimental beasts of many failed projects will be fed within a period of time after the project is terminated. , it is still very simple to find failed projects.
At the same time, scenes like this are constantly happening in many well-known research institutes around the world.
Hanabi's clones entered these research institutes as special fairies, and then defeated those experimental beasts in the name of testing.
If you don't find the skill, continue testing a few times until you find the opponent's skill.
It has to be said that as some of the world's top research institutes, the experimental spirit beasts produced by their so-called failed projects are sometimes not bad, but are abandoned by the research institute because they have major flaws.
Among them, the most important reason for project failure is... appearance.
Yes, it's the appearance.
Being handsome is a lifelong thing.
As long as the appearance of the cultivated spirit beast is outstanding enough, even if its performance in strength is unsatisfactory in the future, there will always be a pet option.
Appearance is often an important factor in attracting animal masters to spend money.
Either handsome, beautiful, or cute...
The beast masters who consume these experimental research products are often from well-off families.
The spiritual pets they choose are also to a large extent to show their own identities, and appearance is one of the important references for them to choose spiritual pets.
"But... this is too unfair." Hanabi was cleaning the room and said to Zhou Lu, who was sorting out the information on the ancient city of Immortal World. "Many of the experimental spirit beasts that I fought against were actually very good. They are just because they are ugly. , he didn’t even have a chance to show his strength, and was directly relegated to the sidelines by the research institute.”
"The strength is pretty good, how good can it be?" Zhou Lu devoted himself to the information.
The ancient city of Immortal Realm is a very large and complex city.
Almost all of that secret realm is an ancient city in the fairy world, and this is already larger than the area of many large secret realms.
In the ancient city of Immortal World, a large number of immortal magical weapons, souls and seals remain.
The actions of the pioneering army in the ancient city of Immortal Realm are almost a carpet-like sweep, building by building, because some details you miss can easily become a foreshadowing for your life.
How to prove the complexity of the ancient city of Immortal World?
The final battle of the Immortal Destruction War took place here.
In other words, the secret realm of the ancient city in the fairy world has actually been discovered by humans since the era of beast control. Many of the founding fathers of the beast-controlling era also spent a long time eradicating the last traces of immortals in the ancient city of the immortal world.
However, until now, the exploration rate of the ancient city of Immortal World is still less than 40%.
It's just too big.
It's so big that it's a bit disappointing.
"Just like this!" Just as Zhou Lu was sighing at the hugeness of the ancient city in the fairy world, the vines of fireworks appeared in front of Zhou Lu.
Along with the flowering and fruiting, several fruits appeared in front of Zhou Lu.
This is a skill that Hanabi got from the special plant spirit beast in the cursed frog pond. As long as she eats one of the fruits, her attributes will increase dramatically in a short period of time.
However, the cooling time of this skill is very long, almost close to the entire flowering and fruiting cycle of the plant. Even if crazy growth is included, it will still take three or four days to cool down.
However, what surprised Zhou Lu was that although it was a skill that theoretically took several days to cool down, Hanabi was able to be activated continuously.
"What did you do?" Zhou Lu immediately asked in surprise.
"Hehe." After realizing that she had finally attracted the attention of her master, Hanabi smiled happily, "My newly acquired racial skill. It will directly reduce my own attributes by half for a long period of time, and then remove all traces from my body. All skills except this skill are refreshed immediately. ”
"????" Zhou Lu's eyes widened when he heard this skill description, "Is this the fucking racial skill you picked up? Don't those research institutes only feed you failed projects?"
"It is indeed a failed project. If I hadn't appeared, it would have starved to death."
"Holy shit..."
As a beast master, Zhou Lu certainly knew what this racial skill meant. Refresh the ball! A full-skill refresh ball!
This can no longer be described as perverted!
"No! Are the people in those research institutes useless?" Although Hua Huo took advantage, Zhou Lu couldn't help but cursed, "Such a powerful spiritual beast project was directly suspended?"
"Um... In fact, it is not considered to have racial skills until now." Hanabi said, scratching her hat.
Zhou Lu looked at Hanabi doubtfully.
Hanabi then opened her mouth to explain.
Because this experimental spirit beast is so ugly, it is the kind of ugliness that will make people feel mentally polluted and cause severe psychological discomfort when it is seen by others. Therefore, when it was just hatched from the egg, the project was actually It has already been labeled with a reprieve of death.
So after that, the researchers of the project were always absent-minded about testing it.
[Super Refresh] It is true that this skill can sacrifice long-term attributes in exchange for immediate refresh of other skills, but the premise is that it must know other skills!
The researchers didn't give it a chance to learn other skills, so how could it have a chance to use its racial skills?
So, it was clear that he was using a super powerful spiritual beast with bug-level skills, but he was sitting in the corner of the laboratory as a failure, silently waiting for death.
If it hadn't been for Hanabi's almost census-like plan this time, no one would have known that such a terrifying skill existed in this world.
And this racial skill, when used on Hanabi who already has a lot of skills, has an unparalleled super effect. It can be said that it is no exaggeration to say that Hanabi's strength is doubled.
"But this attribute is reduced by half..." Zhou Lu asked hesitantly, "How long will it last?"
"Hmm... It seems like three months." Hanabi felt it and said.
Some are too long.
Zhou Lu was a little disappointed.
Then he saw a flash of light on Hanabi's body, and then the weakened aura returned.
"But I will recover soon! Just like I am now!" Hanabi said with a smile.
Zhou Lu was surprised: "What did you do?"
"Use the Curse Frog's racial skills to eliminate the BUFF effect of this attribute reduction!" Hanabi said matter-of-factly, "Even the attribute reduction caused by your own skills is regarded as a negative status by this skill and can be eliminated directly."< br>
In this way, the only side effect will disappear immediately.
In other words, Hanabi can use two sets of skills in one battle without taking any damage.
Damn it...this intensity...
"Oh, right." Hanabi seemed to hear something, then blinked at Zhou Lu and said, "Just now, the Sixth Research Institute of Xin'an seemed to tell me that there was a failed project that needed to be tested."
Since Hua Huo specifically told Zhou Lu, it means that this failed project is not simple. Zhou Lu smiled and patted Hua Huo and said, "What kind of skill is it? Don't tell me about it."
Hanabi scratched her hat and said happily: "It is also a refreshing racial skill."
After hearing Hanabi's words, Zhou Lu immediately understood what Hanabi meant.
[Super Refresh] This skill is super powerful, but its cooldown time is also terrifying, almost equal to the length of attribute reduction.
But if there is a skill that also has the refresh ability to refresh this skill, then the two skills can refresh each other.
In this process, Hanabi's skills are almost unlimited.
With the curse frog's purification skills, Hanabi is enough to bear the cost of most skills.
No matter how long the cooldown of this skill is, get it!
After thinking about this, Zhou Lu almost immediately came to a conclusion.
Hua Huo also had the same idea as Zhou Lu, nodding towards Zhou Lu and saying: "Don't worry! I will definitely get this skill!"
"I will ask Benben to activate the [Easter Egg of Doom] to cooperate with you." Zhou Lu said immediately.
After a pause, he touched his chin and said to Hanabi: "Speaking of which, [Super Refresh] can only be used on yourself?"
After hearing Zhou Lu's words, Hanabi didn't know what Zhou Lu was thinking.
He clearly wanted to refresh [Easter Egg of Doom] and [Recycling] so that his [Drain] skill would be permanently in a 100% drain state.
Well, so what’s the cost of doing that?
Benben will be in a cycle of death-recycling-resurrection-death for a long time.
"Hello devil, master."
Zhou Lu also coughed twice when he heard Hanabi's teasing.
When I think about it this way, it does seem a bit unreasonable.
"If it's really possible, I also hope that my [Easter Egg of Doom] can be refreshed quickly." But at this time, Benben, who was serving as a decoration on the table, spoke.
It had been listening to the conversation between Zhou Lu and Hua Huo, so it naturally knew what they meant.
Benben's tone was very determined: "I need constant hardships to quickly improve my growth, and death is the best hardship. If there is such an infinite refresh method, maybe I will grow faster than Hanabi. ”
This statement is not an exaggeration.
Yue Ya, who was listening on the sidelines, exclaimed that it was outrageous, and said helplessly: "If such an idea is realized, it seems like it can really evolve quickly."
"Then Benben, you activate the skill first." Hanabi stopped what she was doing, "I'll go get that skill and talk about it later."
Hanabi devoted herself to her work, but Zhou Lu fell into long thoughts.
[Super Refresh] This racial skill is definitely an unexpected bonus for Hanabi.
If it weren't for the failed project census plan carried out by Hanabi and Qiudaomu, no one would know about the existence of such a powerful spiritual beast.
So...should I tell this discovery?
As long as he doesn't say anything, the skill [Super Refresh] can become Hanabi's exclusive skill.
But if I don’t say it, wouldn’t I look too selfish?
Zhou Lu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to spend a lot of money to purchase the spirit beast and related project materials.
A spiritual beast with such outstanding strength should not be buried.
But at the same time, Zhou Lu will not produce and promote this kind of spiritual beast-until he solves the problem of Mengyu Huaxian.
As long as Mengyu Huaxian is solved, then he doesn't need to worry about promoting this kind of spiritual beast to endanger the enemy.
Thinking like this, Zhou Lu became more and more looking forward to Hua Huo's census plan.
In laboratories around the world, there are countless spiritual beast projects that appear to have failed but could actually shine if they were repositioned.
