Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 574 The real purpose

Regardless of Stephen's disbelief, Zheng Shu and Klaus had a very pleasant conversation.

The two quickly confirmed the relevant matters and ended the conversation.

After politely seeing off everyone from Libra, Zheng Shu happily sat back in his chair.

Judging from the mental fluctuations Stephen revealed when he left, he probably still didn't quite believe in himself.

But Zheng Shu didn't care. After all, Librari mainly depended on Klaus's will. As the de facto leader and soul of the entire secret society, as long as he didn't have too much doubts about himself, basically nothing would happen.

"But... even though Klaus seems a bit naive, he is so confident in himself and others that it makes people feel comfortable. No wonder even someone like Stephen is willing to serve him. He really has the demeanor of a king."

After stretching, Zheng Shu sat back in front of the computer.

Zheng Shu naturally had his own reasons for agreeing to Klaus's proposal. One of the reasons was that he could get a place to live for free and solve his own financial problems.

Another reason, and the more important reason, is that Zheng Shulai became interested.

As for the object of interest, it was of course Jane, who had been invisible since entering the room.

While chatting with Klaus, Zheng Shu also allocated a part of his mental energy to observe Zhen who was constantly activating her own abilities next to him.

Perhaps it was because Zheng Shu did not give her too much pressure today, and her boss was here, so although Zhen's own level of dilution was more serious due to psychological trauma, she was still within the range that Zheng Shu could barely observe.

During the long conversation with Klaus, Zheng Shu also obtained some more detailed data about Zhen's "invisible" ability.

Just as he had expected yesterday, Jane's "invisible" ability was indeed a power that relied on her own will to change the world within a very small range.

Similarly, Zheng Shu did sense a familiar aura from this ability, which meant that the ability that Zhen mastered was indeed very likely to be of the same origin as the Thirteenth King... or the specificity of the higher being.

Although Zheng Shu has only seen Zhen, the werewolf so far, and has not seen other werewolves, Zheng Shu can basically confirm his guess.

In Zheng Shu's opinion, even without mentioning the functionality of the werewolf's special ability, the nature of this ability alone is enough to arouse his great interest in research.

The Thirteen Kings' specificity is too complete, which makes it quite difficult for Zheng Shu to study them.

Even with the unreserved assistance of the three Thirteen Kings and the laboratory that surpassed Earth's technology provided by Feimto, Zheng Shu still made slow progress after a year of research and only managed to scratch the surface.

But now, Zheng Shu discovered the same characteristics in the werewolf race, but in a relatively weaker and more incomplete way.

For an individual, incompleteness means that the added power is quite limited, and there will also be certain restrictions on its use.

However, from a research perspective, compared to the complete power of Hunyuan Ruyi, which is difficult to interfere with, this incomplete power is much easier to study.

"Moreover, in this world, besides werewolves, there are many other messy forces of the same level." Zheng Shu closed his eyes and recalled the comics he had read, extracting relevant information from them.

In the world of Blood Blockade Battlefront, due to the contact between the human world and the alien world, a collision occurred between two completely different civilizations. In addition to causing a lot of chaos, sparks of wisdom also erupted.

Whether they are naturally occurring werewolves or artificially created blood-bound followers, the power they possess is unique no matter which world they are placed in, and is enough to cause unimaginable disasters in other worlds.

However, in the world of Blood Blockade Battlefront, these two races can only rely on their innate strength to protect themselves, and their main business is to obtain intelligence.

Another reason is that there is an upper limit to their strength, so even if they have an almost immortal body, the entire race can only be at the lower level in the other world.

According to the information Zheng Shu had obtained, strictly speaking, the status of artificial races such as the Blood Realm Families in the other world is not even as good as that of humans who are born poor and weak.

After all, although humans in the other world are born weak, they can gain tremendous power through learning, and at the top of their hierarchy there is also a fallen king who is one of the Thirteenth Kings.

Although the Blood Realm followers are a race transformed from humans, they have lost the ability to continue climbing up.

The upper limit of the blood realm followers is very obvious. When all the base pairs on the DNA in the body are filled by the ritual, their power reaches the limit of the race, which is the so-called elder level.

Even though the Thirteen Elders were created by the Higher Beings themselves, their strength was no different from those elders who evolved naturally. At most, there were some individual differences.

However, even the most powerful of the thirteen elders, his power still cannot reach the standard of a "divine existence", let alone a "superior existence" with power above that.

The reason why the blood realm followers can survive in the other world is purely due to their characteristic of being "difficult to kill".

It can be seen from the examples of the two races above that this world has so many specific abilities, so many that Zheng Shu even feels dazzled.

And if we take into account certain special abilities acquired due to the particularities of the individual, the number of these special abilities will increase several times.

As a researcher, Zheng Shu certainly wants to study these things thoroughly.

Under this premise, Libra is a very good medium.

As a secret organization whose mission is to maintain world balance, Libra has a very large intelligence network in Hersharemz. After all, this small force can be regarded as the product of compromise between other large forces.

In Zheng Shu's opinion, Libra's strength is actually quite good. At least they can handle some ordinary things easily.

On the other hand, if there are some special things that even Libra cannot handle, the possibility that they have special abilities worth studying will be greatly increased.

Whenever this happened, the promise Zheng Shu made would come in handy: when necessary, Libra could pay him a certain amount of money to ask for help.

For Zheng Shu, the amount of money doesn't mean much.

The reason why Zheng Shu had been attacking gangs for money these days was purely because he wanted to earn the living expenses and research funds for the next few years at once in a concentrated period of time, so as to save future troubles.

Therefore, the purpose of his making this promise was not for the so-called rewards from the beginning, but for the matter itself that required him to take action.

In this way, Libra dealt with the troubles that they could not solve and maintained the balance of the world, and he only had to put in a little effort to get the experimental subjects he liked.

Win-win! It's a win-win!

Anyway, for Zheng Shu, he had no intention of subverting the world, so from the very beginning he and Libra were naturally on the same front.

Even if they are wary of themselves at first, they will eventually relax when faced with irrefutable facts.

Even if according to Stephen's personality in the original book he would never trust himself in his life, after experiencing the convenience of powerful external assistance, given that person's personality he probably wouldn't mind using his own strength.

"After all, I really have no intention of harming you, although I do have my own 'little thoughts'... Speaking of which, it seems that the protagonist will join Libra in two years, right? Then I will see if I can find a chance to study his artificial eye."

Thinking about the future, he unconsciously hummed a song. With a happy mood, Zheng Shu continued typing on the computer.

There was still about half a month left before the time agreed upon by him and Feimto. Zheng Shu felt that he had to hurry up, otherwise if he failed to submit the "manuscript" by the deadline, it would have a huge impact on his credit.

"It's decided! I won't sleep from today on!"

Following a declaration that would have made a social animal faint on the spot, Zheng Shu immersed himself in summarizing the previous test data.

……

……

Libra acted quickly. It first spent a few days helping the police quell the chaos in Hersharemz, and then arranged accommodation for Zheng Shu.

Without Zheng Shu's continued efforts, when Klaus came again, less than a week had passed since their last conversation.

"Oh, the environment is really nice. I thought you would just rent me a small single room, but I didn't expect it to be an apartment."

Zheng Shu was very satisfied with his new room. As the developer of this property had hired a large number of armed forces to defend his territory, this was one of the few relatively safe areas in the city of Hersharemz.

Of course, the opposite is the staggering housing prices.

In terms of location, this place should be considered close to the suburbs, but in terms of price, it has even surpassed the shops in the city center.

"You are joking, sir. Since I promised you to arrange a comfortable accommodation for you, I naturally cannot go back on my word." Stephen pulled his facial muscles and laughed.

Except for the first time when Klaus met him, the main person who had contact with Zheng Shu at the rest of the time was Stephen. That was probably because the boss felt that his boss was too straightforward, so he chose to let himself contact Zheng Shu directly.

After special training, his smile looked kind. Unfortunately, for someone like Zheng Shu who could sense mental fluctuations, simple muscle changes could not conceal the hostility in his mind.

But Zheng Shu didn't care. After all, to the strong, the hostility of the weak would only be fun.

"In addition, this is the living allowance we agreed to give you. The amount will be based on the salary of Libra's assistants. What do you think?"

Zheng Shu took the thick envelope from Stephen's hand, counted it briefly, and was surprised to find that there were more than 30,000.

Considering that he didn't have to do anything and just wait to receive the money every month, this amount was already quite considerable. Zheng Shu originally thought that the other party would just give him a few thousand yuan a month as living expenses.

"This number... really surprises me. It seems that you are more sincere than I thought."

Zheng Shu's words were not just a compliment. After all, Libra was just a small force, and since its main business was to maintain the balance of the world, its main income came from financial donations from its partners.

Although the original book does not mention how much money Libra earns each year, judging from the fact that an Arab prince donates several million dollars a year, which is enough for all of Libra's senior executives to attend dinner together, the funds Libra can obtain each year are probably in the tens of millions of dollars.

In this case, including the rent of the apartment where he lives, Libra has to invest about 500,000 US dollars in himself every year.

This amount is a considerable expense for Libra. After all, in addition to themselves, they have to support a large number of grassroots employees, and maintain and purchase various weapons and equipment.

"Of course, we at Libra have always been very sincere about talents like you."

Stephen's words were very nice, but I just listened to them. After all, up to now, he had not even taken me to the headquarters of Libra, and his spirit had always revealed fluctuations of vigilance.

In other words, in this person's eyes, I am still a suspicious object.

However, Zheng Shu also understood this very well. After all, one cannot expect someone who has only met a few times to trust him unconditionally. People like Klaus are a minority after all.

Anyway, no matter what they were thinking, they did fulfill their previous promise and solved their accommodation and food problems.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Stephen, the man with a scar on his face left in a hurry.

However, what made Zheng Shu curl his lips was that although Stephen had left, he could still sense the gazes of several people secretly monitoring him.

"Forget it. Given this guy's personality, it would be a bit abnormal if he wasn't kept under surveillance. The most urgent thing is to finish the work first."

After connecting to the Internet and turning on the computer, Zheng Shu sat in front of the computer and started calculating again.

……

……

There were no further setbacks in the next few days. Zheng Shu successfully calculated and summarized all the experimental data, and gained the most basic understanding of the special power possessed by the superior being.

"This result... is really a bit surprising. No wonder I always felt that Feimuto's 'power' was unexpectedly familiar."

Looking at the things he had researched, Zheng Shu was amazed. Without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to tear open a crack in space and stepped in.

On the other side of this space crack is the dark space created by Fimto.

Although Fimto did not give him the authority to use space magic freely inside the Helsharemz Great Barrier, with Zheng Shu's magical attainments, he could basically use space magic again in this chaotic space environment after a little familiarity.

And in a high-rise building not far from the house where Zheng Shu lived, the two people who were watching from afar with binoculars couldn't help but look at each other when they saw the target they were monitoring tear a hole in space and disappear.

"What...what should I do?"

"There's nothing we can do. We don't have the ability to do so. Let's just report it truthfully."

"But this is a bit too outrageous, are you sure the leader will believe us if we report it to him?"

"There's nothing I can do if I don't believe it."

"Fine……"
