Bai Zhi, filled with hope, asked the system.
The growth rate of the Vidyadharas is quite slow. By the time they grow to 6 meters tall, it will probably be several hundred years, which is unacceptable.
So much time has passed, and many of the lovely girls have grown old, such as Bronya, and many other cute girls who are not immortal.
[During the evolution to adolescence, the host should grow taller, but at the same time, the host possesses both a dog charm and a horse charm, and these two charms will stabilize the host's state.]
Therefore, unless it's during a particularly exciting moment, it can temporarily break the lock and change its appearance and height to that of a teenager; otherwise, it will be locked into its current form.
[But please rest assured, host. Aside from your size, your physical strength will increase, and you will permanently gain everything you should have during your adolescence.]
"Grass!"
The angelica root turned red and warm instantly. What does it mean to be in a particularly exciting moment? Does this count as such?
This was a long-awaited hope of growing taller, and it was all wiped out like this?
However, Bai Zhi couldn't bring herself to say anything about removing the horse and dog talismans, since they were things that guaranteed her safety.
Life is more important than height.
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then slowly asked, "System, is there any way to loosen this restriction a little?"
[Ding! Host, you can upgrade the Tiger Talisman to level 3, allowing it to harmonize the power of other talismans. This will allow you to revert to your youthful state for 3 hours each day.]
……
"Level Three Tiger Talisman..."
Bai Zhi glanced at her level 1 Tiger Talisman and didn't want to say anything more.
With a level three Tiger Talisman, I'd probably be able to get a command envoy position from some Star God.
Based on her current observation of her only level 3 talisman, the Dragon Talisman, a level 3 talisman is basically equivalent to the function of a messenger.
In other words, the difficulty of growing taller is roughly equivalent to obtaining another blessing from a messenger.
"Is my height some kind of cosmic law? Or some kind of twisted sense of humor from the world's will?"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but complain, "With such a short stature, you need a level three talisman."
The system fell silent for a moment, then after a long while, a message popped up: "[Use breeding rules?]"
"Alright, alright, use it. Might as well use it."
Bai Zhi said somewhat unhappily, "Although this won't make me grow taller, it can at least increase my strength."
After all, as a descendant of dragons, Chi Ming's physical strength was even more outrageous than that of the Immortal Ship people.
The Immortal Ship people are monsters who can directly enter the atmosphere with their physical bodies, and the Ming Clan is also extremely powerful after reaching adulthood.
Upon confirmation, Bai Zhi immediately felt an intensely hot force seeping into her body, making the slight heat she had felt after taking Ruan Mei's medicine even more intense.
His entire body was like a furnace, with even his breath sending out sparks, and his pupils seemed to be burning with intense flames.
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in just over ten seconds.
Bai Zhi moved her hands and feet and discovered a strange sense of lightness.
"Bai Zhi... are you alright now?"
Ruan Mei's voice suddenly rang out from the surroundings, "The equipment just detected that the energy on your body is fluctuating greatly."
"I'm fine, is Ah Ruan worried about me?"
It would have been better if Ruan Mei hadn't made a sound, but as soon as she did, Bai Zhi felt that the burning sensation she had just felt seemed to return.
She had a strong urge to "eat up" Ruan Mei.
Bai Zhi patted her face. This wasn't right. Although she felt hot before, she didn't have such an obvious urge to "eat" Ruan Mei.
Furthermore, due to the incomplete immortal destiny and infertility of the Vidyadhara race, although they may be with others because of feelings, they are still relatively indifferent in this regard most of the time.
Even in the past, although she liked to hug pretty girls, it was only with an attitude of appreciation.
Is it really that much desire now that we've just entered adolescence?
"Could it be because I'm a fire dragon..." Bai Zhi muttered.
"I'm just worried that if something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to the Immortal Boat."
Ruan Mei's voice trembled slightly as she answered.
Because she noticed something: when Bai Zhi's energy fluctuated wildly, the warm current coming from her arm became more and more obvious and intense.
These warm currents almost made her lose her balance.
"So, how's your data collection going?"
"That's about it. The King Worm has existed for much longer than I expected, so I've collected a lot of relevant data about its body."
"That's great, thanks to me."
Bai Zhi casually put away the complete guide to magic, then took the elevator to the laboratory where Ruan Mei was.
"You've arrived. With the data, I can immediately improve the technology you need. If you want to create a new body, just match it with your ability. That ability should ensure that the created body won't collapse."
"Just like the King Mushroom over there."
Ruan Mei pointed to the giant king insect that was still lying on the lower level.
In the past, after a certain time had passed, this king insect wouldn't even leave behind a corpse; instead, it would simply turn into a pile of worthless ashes.
But after Bai Zhi used the power of the dog talisman, and after passing the time when it was certain to die, this king insect seemed to have survived some kind of tribulation, and its physical body was actually preserved without being torn apart by its own power.
"That's good……"
Upon hearing Ruan Mei's words, Bai Zhi nodded in satisfaction.
In truth, she was genuinely afraid that, like the King Worm in the story, she would vanish into nothingness at the appointed time. In that case, her talisman would probably only protect the heroes for a time, not for a lifetime.
But it's much better now. It's basically like exploiting a bug. By timing the death, it's like having a normal, surviving life.
"Hoo..." Ruan Mei took a deep breath, turned around, and lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Bai Zhi. "So next, I will hand over the technology to you, and you will do this on your own planet?"
Bai Zhi tilted her head. "Does A-Ruan really want me to leave?"
"No, but I heard you also have many important things to do. Rather than staying in this boring space station, you might as well go back and do your own thing sooner."
"My technique isn't difficult. As long as you have the right equipment and your skills, you can achieve the effect you want."
Chapter 494 Preparing to Resurrect Möbius
"While going back to work is important, I think Ah Ruan is an important person too~"
Bai Zhi walked to Ruan Mei's side, reached out and took Ruan Mei's hand, "I've helped Ruan Mei so much, are you going to cruelly abandon me? Cry."
Ruan Mei withdrew her hand swiftly, her tone somewhat unnatural, "Bai Zhi, this is enough. We are just business partners."
"Okay~"
Hearing Bai Zhi's straightforward answer, Ruan Mei was taken aback. She thought Bai Zhi was going to keep pestering her.
But for some reason, she also felt a little lost.
"But darling, even if it's a collaboration, you certainly wouldn't mind helping me with one last favor, would you?"
Bai Zhi playfully winked at Ruan Mei.
Ruan Mei's heart skipped a beat, prompting her to ask involuntarily, "What do you want me to do for you?"
"Although you say this technology is very simple, you are a member of the genius club, while the most I can find are just ordinary researchers."
“What seems simple to you, my dear, might be very difficult to ordinary researchers.”
"So I hope, dear Aruan, you can help me use this technology on the space station to import my consciousness data into a newly created body, just as a demonstration~"
Ruan Mei opened her mouth, about to say something to refuse, because her reason told her that it was best not to let Bai Zhi stay here any longer. It was too dangerous for her, and she could easily break her composure if she wasn't careful.
It's unacceptable for her to be swayed by such romantic relationships.
But Bai Zhi floated up slightly, covered Ruan Mei's mouth, and then whispered in Ruan Mei's ear, "I hope you can help me, okay?"
Ruan Mei felt as if something wet touched her cheek after Bai Zhi finished speaking.
"Consider this my payment. I'm sure Ah Ruan will agree."
Ruan Mei touched her face blankly, then looked down at Bai Zhi, who had a beautiful smile on her face.
"Okay, maybe I didn't consider those people's comprehension level. I can demonstrate for you first."
As Ruan Mei said this in her heart, she kept finding reasons for herself.
These ingenious inventions and technologies of their own are indeed too difficult for ordinary people. There are quite a few researchers on the Black Tower space station who simply cannot understand some of the small projects and inventions that Black Tower has come up with.
Even if these projects and inventions seem easy to them, who are also geniuses, ordinary researchers seem to be suffering from a kind of dullness and cannot understand them at all.
Therefore, Angelica dahurica's request is legitimate.
We've achieved tremendous results on our side; we can't let Bai Zhi be stumped as well.
"Ah Ruan really does love me."
"This is simply based on the principle of equivalent exchange."
Ruan Mei said, trying to appear calm.
She knew she couldn't show too much emotion, otherwise this young dragon descendant might take advantage of her, and she would fall for him even faster.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the relevant test area first. The first person I want to resurrect is also a researcher and is also very smart. When we get there, Aruan will talk to her about the relevant things, and we should be able to handle the rest."
Seeing Bai Zhi's nonchalant attitude, Ruan Mei sighed and could only pray that her will was strong enough as she led Bai Zhi to a place filled with various solution tanks.
"This is the equipment I use every day. Transfer the consciousness data of the person you want to resurrect into it, and I will create the body."
"it is good!"
Bai Zhi grabbed a plate that resembled a wireless charger, attached it to the back of her phone, and then selected to transfer the consciousness data file of "Mebius".
Compared to the consciousness of the other heroes, Mebius's consciousness is clearly more suitable for the current situation.
First, Möbius's consciousness is transferred out to reconstruct his body. Then, Möbius learns the relevant procedures, allowing him to operate the subsequent processes.
"Hmm... Let me analyze it. The consciousness data contains a model with unknown genes. Interesting..."
Seeing the genetic data model she had never seen before in the consciousness data, Ruan Mei showed interest.
With her profound knowledge of biology, she could naturally see the unusual nature of these genes.
"Her name is Mebius, she is a good friend of mine, and also a researcher."
Let me introduce Angelica dahurica.
"Researchers... It looks like a degraded creation of some advanced civilization, with human genes mixed with the genes of these creations. The method is a bit crude, let me modify it."
As Ruan Mei spoke, she continuously operated the control panel.
Although the strength of these Honkai Beast genes was very weak to her, she was still quite interested in their structure.
Seeing Ruan Mei's actions, Bai Zhi did not stop her. In terms of biological expertise, no one on Earth could compare to Ruan Mei.
Having Ruan Mei optimize the relevant gene model of snakes should be of great benefit.
"OK, I've modified the genetic model related to this consciousness so that its abilities are more focused on the brain rather than other parts of the body."
"It acts more on the brain?"
Bai Zhi looked at Ruan Mei with some confusion.
"Hmm... This strange gene allows the body to regenerate continuously, but it mostly affects the body except for the brain."
"I know this."
Bai Zhi nodded. The snake's Honkai Beast gene allows it to revive continuously, but the price is that it will keep getting smaller.
"After my modifications, this gene has a greater effect on the brain, which, in terms of what most people can understand, means that it can keep the brain in peak condition for a longer period of time."
"However, the price is that the owner of this consciousness may need to consume a large amount of high-energy substances."
"However, I think that for researchers, this cost should be completely acceptable."
Ruan Mei said elegantly, while turning her gaze to Bai Zhi; "However, if you are not willing, I can also restore it to its original state."
"No, I think it's very suitable, and I believe Dr. Möbius would agree."
Bai Zhi was quite certain of this. As a researcher, one's livelihood depends on one's brain. Being able to improve in this area, even if the price is eating more sweets, she estimated that not many people would refuse this change.
