Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 583 Research
Zheng Shu's first gathering with the Thirteen Kings ended with a fight among these monsters and demons.

However, Zheng Shu did not see the King of Despair until the end. It was probably because the spirits he had just possessed were still in the process of getting used to each other.

To be fair, Zheng Shu felt that he did not have much ill feeling towards the King of Despair.

Although it seems that this guy is unforgivable for wanting to trigger the Great Collapse again, to be honest, this group of monsters, including Zheng Shu, have tens of thousands of lives on their heads.

If the number of murders was considered a sin, Zheng Shu felt that he was the biggest villain among these monsters.

To be honest, the King of Despair is quite efficient. He doesn't waste time when killing people, and at least he doesn't torture them too much.

It would be hopeless if it fell into Femto's hands. No one would think that biological technology is a discipline that can obtain specific data simply by relying on "ordinary" research.

In addition to the above reason, another reason is that Zheng Shu's mentality has changed to a certain extent.

It’s not that Zheng Shu has become indifferent to human life. Strictly speaking, his current situation is due to the significant improvement in his abilities, which has led to a deviation in his views on certain things.

Just like in the setting of Water Margin, because there were too many sins in the world, one hundred and eight evil stars were sent to the world to kill people.

The purpose of their killing is to eliminate the evil in the world. From a human perspective, this is simply a disaster, but from the perspective of gods, this is kindness from the heart.

The core reason for this cognitive bias is the difference in "perspective" caused by the overwhelming gap in ability between the two sides.

Simply put, there is the concept of reincarnation in the world of Water Margin.

Based on this underlying logic, in the eyes of those gods, killing suffering people and sending them to reincarnate is not a bad thing.

From a human perspective, it is probably similar to the police rescuing a person from a black mine, letting him rest for two days and then sending him to a regular factory.

Zheng Shu's current situation is similar to that of these gods. It's not that he has already regarded life as nothing, but with his mastery of the resurrection technique, in Zheng Shu's view, the boundary between life and death of living things has gradually blurred.

The severe price that death represents for ordinary creatures is rapidly decreasing in the "proportion" of Zheng Shu's mind.

After all, for him, he does have the ability and the mentality to revive all the dead lives he encounters that meet moral standards.

This change in mentality is a bit subtle. In Zheng Shu's opinion, it is actually a bit similar to the meaning of mental distortion. However, this change in mentality cannot be corrected by various methods of cultivating the mind.

It seems that the only way to correct this mentality is to let your own strength decline to a period of weakness.

When such power is gone, the mentality will naturally change back.

But Zheng Shu would certainly not choose this way. After all, this would be completely a case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

After tearing open the space crack again and returning to Hersharemz, Zheng Shu collected some information about the surrounding area and found that he had been away for more than a week.

The main reason was that there was no distinction between day and night in that space, and Zheng Shu was too excited in communicating with that group of monsters and demons, so he accidentally forgot the time.

He now began to be glad that he had explained it to Stephen in advance.

Although being able to study werewolves was a pleasant surprise, it would be a shame to let this thing slip away from my hands again.

Looking up at the sky, Zheng Shu estimated that there should not be many people working at the Libra headquarters. After thinking about it, he simply used space jump to return to his room and take a nap.

Although the surveillance on me has been weakened, as long as I go home, they should be able to pass the news of my return to Stephen.

……

……

A few days later, inside the headquarters of Libra.

"I didn't expect you would dare to let me in again."

Zheng Shu followed Stephen, walked through the door and entered the gorgeous room.

Zheng Shu is a man of his word. Since he said that this is a closed-space technique specially made for Libra, he will definitely not hold back.

After the space ritual of the Libra headquarters was closed, unless the Libra headquarters was invaded directly from high altitude, even Zheng Shu himself would not be able to sneak into the Libra headquarters silently through the gate below.

Of course, if you force it, that’s another story.

So when Zheng Shu was invited by Stephen, he had to follow him obediently to get into the building.

"Considering that you already know the location of the headquarters, and that if we follow you to some other place, it will likely cause delays in our response to the crisis, so after comprehensive consideration, we have decided to let you conduct research inside the Libra headquarters." Stephen stated his reasons without hesitation.

After all, Libra is short of manpower now. If too few people are sent, they may be ambushed if they follow the other party to other places.

But if too many people are sent, it will affect Libra's normal work.

Regardless, maintaining world balance is the top priority for Libra.

In this case, after Stephen's analysis and weighing, he finally decided to let Zheng Shu be inside Libra while studying Zhen.

To be precise, it is in the office at their headquarters.

Klaus and Stephen are stationed here all year round to ensure that Libra's maximum fighting power is there.

If new tasks arise during the research process, they can take Zheng Shu away with them to ensure that Zheng Shu is always under their surveillance.

When Zheng Shu followed Stephen to the office, everyone in Libra was already ready. Not only Klaus and Gilbert were present, but also K.K., who was often absent from missions.

"Oh, they are quite complete. Does everyone want to take a look?" Zheng Shu did not feel any pressure at all and was still smiling.

Klaus, who was sitting behind his desk, nodded. "After all, the idea of ​​wanting to study others is dangerous in itself, so we must be vigilant against you."

"Ahem! Besides, we are also curious about your research." Stephen coughed quickly a few times, interrupting his boss's straightforward remarks.

Although this is indeed the case, such things cannot be said openly. After all, the relationship between the two parties is still friendly on the surface.

"Although I'm a little embarrassed, it's better to choose here as the location. Do you need any equipment? There are a lot of things in the Libra headquarters. I can help you prepare them."

"Don't bother. I told you, my research process is very simple."

Zheng Shu waved his hand to reject Stephen's kindness, sat down on the sofa not far away with familiarity, and waved at the air near the window.

"Come on, it's better to start early and finish early, right?"

Jane's figure slowly appeared by the window.

Although she already knew that Zheng Shu could easily detect her presence with his ability, as an invisible werewolf, she still felt uncomfortable that her actions were so easily seen through by the other party.

Jane couldn't help but look at Stephen. After seeing him nod slightly to her, he took a deep breath and came to Zheng Shu's side.

"What do I need to do?"

"Ah? You asked me this. Actually, you don't have to do anything. But considering that it will take a long time, you'd better find a comfortable place to sit or lie down." Zheng Shu scratched the back of his head.

When Zhen heard this, she couldn't help but frown. After thinking about it, she sat down on the sofa opposite Zheng Shu.

"what's next?"

"The rest is not your business. Remember, don't move."

Before the people around could react, Zheng Shu had already raised his hand, crossed over the small square table in the middle, and placed his palm on Zhen's head.

Although Jane's figure is considered very tall among women, it is still within the normal range.

After being enhanced by multiple layers of reinforced templates, Zheng Shu's height has surpassed that of a normal human. Even in his non-dragon state, he is still two meters three inches tall.

So Zheng Shu's palm was big enough to almost completely cover Zhen's entire head.

So Zheng Shu adjusted his grip slightly and clamped her forehead with just a few fingers.

The people around were shocked at first when they saw Zheng Shu's action, but after seeing Zheng Shu clamping Zhen's forehead, they did not take any further action, and Zhen's expression did not look very uncomfortable, and it seemed that she did not use too much force on her arms, so they calmed down again.

The moment her head was grabbed, Jane wanted to use her ability to disappear here, but she suppressed the idea with her strong willpower.

Fortunately, the imagined pain did not occur, and Zheng Shu controlled the power very skillfully.

The feeling of the forehead and palm touching each other does not feel like being held tightly by someone, but rather more like wearing a pair of large over-ear headphones.

Moreover, Zhen also felt a subtle but pure energy constantly transmitted from Zheng Shu's palms, penetrating into the body through his forehead.

This energy is not too strong and is not dangerous. It can even be said to be very beneficial.

Because Jane's intuition told her to absorb as much of this power as possible.

Jane also found that after absorbing these powers, the fatigue that had accumulated from working all night was quickly dissipating.

The feeling was not like taking stimulant drugs to forcefully increase physical strength, but more like taking a long nap.

After doing this action, Zheng Shu did not take any follow-up actions and remained in this state.

Jane rolled her eyes and saw the worried looks of the other people in the office.

After thinking about it, she made a safe gesture and did not resist, but continued to wait here quietly.

Klaus and the others also quieted down after seeing the gesture. Stephen made a look at K.K., and after observing for a while, K.K. shook his head slightly at Stephen, indicating that he didn't find anything wrong.

As a gun god who is proficient in long-range sniping, K.K.'s observation ability is second to none among those present. She didn't even notice any problems at close range, so Stephen relaxed temporarily.

After waiting for a while and finding that the two were still doing the same thing, Stephen made a gesture to K.K., indicating that she should continue to observe here. He walked aside, picked up the documents and started to deal with today's work.

There was no way. Ever since Zheng Shu put his hand on Zhen's head, Klaus had been standing by and staring at her closely, just in case.

Stephen knew his boss' temper very well, and he estimated that he would not react before Zheng Shu was done, so he had to handle the work on his behalf.

After seeing this scene, Gilbert thought for a moment and left the room gracefully.

Not long after, he came in pushing a small cart filled with snacks and tea, which seemed to be prepared for the people present.

After pouring tea for Klaus, Stephen and the others, Gilbert pushed the cart to Zheng Shu and Zhen.

Afraid that his sudden voice would disturb the other person, Gilbert did not ask directly, but just stretched out his hand to signal Zheng Shu with the teapot in his hand.

"Thank you very much. Please prepare a cup for Miss Zhen as well. The next part may be a bit long."

"Okay, it's my pleasure."

Taking the teacup handed to him by Gilbert with his free hand, Zheng Shu drank it all in one gulp without hesitation. It looked like he was drinking wine rather than tea.

Even when drinking tea, Zheng Shu's eyes were always fixed on Zhen's forehead... to be precise, the contact area between the forehead and the palm.

On it, there was a light curtain that looked like an attribute bar that only Zheng Shu himself could see. Various information was densely written on the light curtain, and it was constantly flipping down under the control of Zheng Shu's mind.

This is what Zheng Shu calls his research method, using the combination of the third and fourth skills to quickly find important information related to werewolves.

According to Zheng Shu's estimation, after he uses up the research time that he traded with Stephen, he will be able to research about 30% of the werewolf's abilities.

This level is already quite good. With the basic data, it will be much easier for Zheng Shu to study other powers.

"Unfortunately, this method cannot be used on the group of thirteen kings." After sighing in his heart, Zheng Shu continued to concentrate on recording the information on the light screen.

The Thirteen Kings have existed for too long, and the flaw in their fourth skill is that it will display all the detailed information without focusing on the key points.

In other words, the longer a thing exists, the more messy information is obtained when using the fourth skill.

Although he could use the information obtained through the four skills to continuously obtain more and more information in a way similar to stepping on the left foot with the right foot, when something exists for too long, the messy information will exceed a certain limit, causing Zheng Shu's efficiency in obtaining effective information to fall below a certain limit.

Even if he could use the third skill to quickly find the key points of the information displayed by the fourth skill in each round, his efficiency would be extremely low when facing the Thirteenth King who had lived for at least a thousand years.

So unless the research has reached some kind of bottleneck, Zheng Shu feels that instead of using these two skill combinations to study the Thirteen Kings, it is better to use conventional research methods to collect data during the early stages of the research.

But when the research subject was changed to the werewolf named Jane, the situation changed.

After all, apart from the invisible special abilities, werewolves are exactly the same as normal humans in other aspects, so Zhen herself has only existed for more than 20 years. In this case, using the third and fourth skills to conduct research will greatly improve efficiency.
