Chapter 1411: Chapter 685: River Scorpion (Happy New Year)

Inside Dahe Base of the dinosaur world, Yan Fei looked around, feeling quite complacent!

In the world of science, coincidences abound. Likewise, our world is full of chance!

Originally, the goal was to secure some free equipment, but surprisingly, there were so many people still toiling away at midnight that it became necessary to round up a large group of laborers.

What was even more unexpected was that this group of laborers always managed to bring one surprise after another!

Looking at the group of laborers waiting for his decision, Yan Fei swept his arm decisively, "I’ve decided, to honor idea number sixty-six, we’ll select a scorpion. Get ready, I’ll catch some scorpions soon, you need to research and determine which is most likely to be the lucky survivor of a mass extinction. It only needs to have the highest possibility, since there probably aren’t many creatures that haven’t changed for tens of millions of years."

"Furthermore, Laborer sixty-six will now be considered talent in the lab. Given that he was the first to come up with this brilliant method, I’ve decided to grant him the rights to name our future scorpion."

"By the way, your medicinal wine should be ready by now, right? Just wait a bit, I’ll be back shortly."

No sooner had his words fallen than the figure of the great demon boss vanished. Before the laborers could react, he reappeared.

Accompanying him upon his return was a Lingzhi mushroom as big as a grinding stone.

"This is for brewing wine. Through my experiments, I’ve found that wine infused with Lingzhi mushrooms can prolong life."

"Going forward, the distribution of wine produced at the base will be controlled. Even ordinary wine will only be available to those who have made contributions. And as for the medicinal wine, it will require an even greater contribution."

"Thanks to sixty-six’s outstanding contribution, I’ve decided that tomorrow at noon, everyone can let loose and have a drink. It’s all thanks to sixty-six, and I hope you don’t forget that."

"Alright, I’m off to collect specimens now; you all go and get things ready in the lab!"

The boss left swiftly, not even the gesture of a sleeve wave, let alone taking half a cloud with him.

The laborers respectfully kept their stance, waiting until several minutes later when they were sure the boss wouldn’t reappear suddenly, before they started congratulating number sixty-six.

Number sixty-six looked at everything, especially those who used to order him around now congratulating him, and couldn’t help but say coldly, "I still need to hurry up and think of a name!"

The name he referred to, of course, was for the scorpion. Since the boss had granted him this right, he naturally didn’t mind sharing about it.

As for offending people, most present understood who he was referring to, and others, aware of his past hardships, wouldn’t hold these things against him.

And those he was about to offend, number sixty-six was very clear in his mind; offend them, then so be it!

Within the dinosaur base, with a boss who controls life and death, as long as the boss took an interest in him, absolutely no one dared to pull any dirty tricks or take drastic actions.

Because everyone understood it was better to come up with an idea that would please the boss, risking the boss’s wrath was not worth it—in the world ruled by a dictator, the biggest say doesn’t need explaining.

In the base, Yan Fei didn’t need to worry about the chaos, but once he got to the forest, he began to regret making rash decisions in his excitement!

The dinosaur world was filled with a diversity of life forms, and there were quite a few scorpions that he wanted. However, the creatures he encountered without intention were now elusive when he actually set out to catch them.

Sometimes things are just like that, something you don’t need can always be seen, but when you do need it, they play hide and seek with you, causing frustration yet somewhat amusing.

After searching under dried leaves and rocks for a long time, small creatures like snakes and bugs scurried everywhere, but the number of scorpions felt too few.

After changing locations over ten times, from barren mountains to thickets, from forests and riversides to streams, even the desert, he managed to find only about six or seven different scorpions, including one big fellow over a foot long.

And for the sake of capturing these few scorpions, more than twenty other species of creatures perished at the hands of Boss Yan—what was most frustrating was that it wasn’t until the end that he recalled he should have captured some of those creatures he’d indiscriminately killed to enrich the biological specimens in the lab.

In the middle of the night, Boss Yan delivered the ten hard-gathered scorpion species to the lab, and contentedly returned to the small courtyard not far from the tiger garden. Before laying down to rest, he glanced one last time at the dinosaur world’s lab.

Inside, a group of laborers were busy classifying and breeding the scorpions according to the capturing environment labeled by Yan Fei.

Just as Yan Fei was about to look away, suddenly a laborer muttered in a low voice, "These few don’t seem to be scorpions, do they?"

Yan Fei’s face darkened instantly. He had gone to great lengths to gather ten different types, and they dare say they’re not scorpions?

Another laborer leaned in to look and said, "It does seem they’re not. Based on..."

Before he could finish his basis, another laborer interjected with a slap to them, "Get on with your work, stop talking nonsense. These are scorpions, is it stupid to infer current creatures based on past biological knowledge?"

The later speaking laborer frowned in thought while the first had an epiphany, "Right, right, right, I didn’t consider the specifics. It’s not the same ecosystem at all, using old theories to prove new things is a big mistake!"
