Chapter 617: Chapter 386 Scam Gang: Road and Flower_5

"Among them, I must emphasize three legendary-level resources to you,"

"For the Water of the Fetal Sea, although the Spirit Research Institute has a certain share, since it’s your first research, you can only apply for one drop."

"The same goes for the Nectar of the Flower God, only one drop can be applied for."

"As for the Flame of Life, the Core Fire cannot be touched, only a wisp of secondary flame can be provided for your research."

"If a certain resource indeed leads to some results in the research, then a larger share of research permissions can be granted."

Lu Ran: "..."

Damn it.

When just seeing the three resources, Lu Ran got a bit excited, thinking he was about to make a fortune.

But then, Dr. Cheng Kong’s words sank Lu Ran’s heart to the bottom of the sea.

One drop... one wisp...

Alright then.

Lu Ran also knew that being allocated a drop or a wisp of such high-level resources as a newcomer was actually quite generous.

Among them, the Nectar of the Flower God and the Flame of Life especially caught Lu Ran’s attention.

The Flower God should be the legendary being that cultivated the Tree King, and as the Inheritor of the Tree King Legacy, Lu Ran had the chance to follow the Flower God in training.

And the Flame of Life of the Divine Phoenix... also deeply intrigued Lu Ran, being one of the most powerful of the three main Affiliations of the Dragon of Life and a colleague of his superior.

The Flame of Life!

Lu Ran really wanted to get his hands on this!

The Deer Horn of God was almost obsolete; this Flame of Life could perhaps serve as a high-ranking replacement!

Moreover, it seemed that the Divine Deer had given him a task to find the Divine Phoenix’s legacy, and although he did not know whether this Flame of Life counted as a legacy, if he could take it to the Divine Deer to have a look, he could also prove his ability!

As for the other epic resources, Lu Ran quickly glanced through and found that they were mostly resources from legendary beings, like the blood of certain beasts.

The share of some blood resources was not large either, which presumably meant the research institute had kept some in reserve, not giving all of it to him for research.

"But even so, it must still be quite exciting, right?" Dr. Cheng Kong said with a smile, "When I was at your level, I never saw so many top-grade resources."

"Exciting or not."

"Exciting," Lu Ran nodded vehemently, "So teacher, how do I collect these resources?"

"These resources are all stored at the headquarters of the Spirit Research Institute, which is where we landed at the beginning. Once the resource approval is passed, you can go directly to the ’Resource Room’ at the headquarters. The headquarters of the Spirit Research Institute is a gigantic mechanical life form with its own intelligence. As long as you have the permissions, you just tell the intelligence what resources you need, and it will fetch them for you, delivering them right into your hands."

"Currently, all the 10 resources on this list have been granted access to you; you can go collect them directly."

"However, I must remind you, these resources can only be used for ’research’. Whether the research is successful or unsuccessful, you must provide a research record to prove that these resources weren’t used for your own personal benefit. For instance, with these legendary resources, the Spirit Research Institute can accept that they might be damaged during important research processes, but they cannot accept them being pocketed by researchers. Do you understand? These are the nation’s assets."

Cheng Kong worried that Lu Ran was too young and wouldn’t be able to resist temptation, so he warned him.

"I understand."

"However, as a mechanist at the Spirit Research Institute, there are other benefits as well. You can mobilize various top-grade resources for research, improving your mechanical assistant’s research capabilities. That’s just one of the perks."

"If a researcher makes a significant contribution, some of these resources in the resource pool might actually be approved for personal use. For example, Dr. Kaku once applied to use Water of the Origin Sea to enhance the potential of his granddaughter’s initial Beast Egg. As long as you apply according to the regulations and procedures, everything is up for discussion."

"Your invention, the ’Elemental Life Creation Device’, once disclosed to the institute, should also make private use of certain resources no problem."

"Oh, oh..." Lu Ran nodded. It didn’t matter; as long as the resources were obtained, who could control whether they were for research or private use when he returned...

"Teacher, I plan to take a trip outside next, to visit various seniors. I’ve seen that many seniors are quite interested in Elemental Beings, and I’m planning to give some Elemental Elves to them for research first."

"As for you...I’ve also prepared Elves of various Attributes, and I will package them as a gift for you next."

"Hm??? Hahaha, sure, sure, I thought these little Elves were extremely cute when I saw them at the invention competition."

Over the next two days.

Lu Ran and No. 18 visited the researchers of the Spirit Research Institute one by one.

And they gave Elemental Elves as gifts when meeting them.

Their usual strategy was: give gifts, and ask for mechanical knowledge specifically!

With the gifts given in advance, the seniors were very generous. After explaining, some even gave Lu Ran some mechanical experience and insights, which allowed Lu Ran and his group to leverage their small gifts for great gains.

Meanwhile, Lu Ran continued to systematically apply for resources made available to him by the headquarters of the Spirit Research Institute.

However, Lu Ran didn’t need to research to know that these resources couldn’t be substituted for the energy source of the Elemental Life Creation Device. The reason was simple; the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower contained breakthrough traits thanks to the Fusion attribute, endowing its sap with a certain ability to break limits. This was key to creating Elemental Beings in this era.

Although some resources also came from Legendary Beings, the ability to break limits contained within was far inferior to that of the Six Paths’ sap.

This was proven after No. 18 analyzed a few of the resources.

For this reason, Lu Ran didn’t force himself to research anymore. It was better not to damage the resources and instead wait to slowly use them back on Blue Star.

In the remaining days, the most important thing Lu Ran and his team did was actually prepare the "fraud plan"!

At this moment, the Six-Path Reincarnation Flower wasn’t even on the Island of God anymore, having temporarily split from Lu Ran, just waiting to enter the Island of God from the outside and make a big splash.

On a solitary island far from the Island of God, a space rift was slowly torn open. The Six-Path Reincarnation Flower stepped out in a humanoid form, summoned a Wood Asura, and then sat on the shoulder of the Asura.

"I am the God of the Six-Path Reincarnation, dear friend of the Divine Tree. I fell during the pioneering battle, and afterwards, through the Power of Reincarnation and the power of the Divine Tree, I was reborn and successfully reincarnated."

"This time, I have come to retrieve the Chaos Dragon God’s blood that has fallen into the outside world. This blood is useful in helping me to restore my peak strength. The Divine Blood is wildly violent, containing the divinity of the Chaos Dragon God, which you cannot control. Better to entrust it to me, and after all, this item is also a trophy of my old friend and doesn’t belong to you all."

"Once I become the next Plant Principal God after the Divine Tree, I certainly won’t forget your contributions."

"An Artificial God? That’s quite interesting. When the time comes, I might assist in your research. Don’t believe me? I, as a descendant of the Flower God, have cultivated a Legendary Plantmaster. You are truly underestimating me."

The Six-Path Reincarnation Flower silently rehearsed its lines, yet it always felt somewhat unreliable. Lu Ran, you better not screw this up for me!
