Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 147

Theoretically speaking, even if problems arise with this alchemical matrix, no one should die, so Chu Zihang volunteered to be the first guinea pig.

Old Tang made a theoretical plan based on Chu Zihang's physical condition, while the system was responsible for the surgery.

“Chu Zihang’s physical strength is lower than expected. Although this alchemical matrix can be used on ordinary people, the difference in maintenance time and overload efficiency will definitely be much greater…” Old Tang frowned, then rubbed his eyes with thick dark circles.

The system was not surprised by this, saying, "The human subjects we usually use for experiments are all from dangerous hybrids from Japan. Based on their physical foundation, there will definitely be some problems and errors when using them on normal people. After all, their physical qualities are basically at the peak of ordinary humans."

Old Tang nodded and said, "I understand... It's just a bit of a pity that this kind of experiment was not perfect because of the physical condition of the test subjects, which is the first time it has been formally applied to humans."

"The next test subject can be a hybrid with stronger basic physical attributes, then it will be perfect." The system didn't have any attachment to this perfect first attempt.

If it doesn't work this time, we can do it next time. There's nothing we can do about Chu Zihang's weak bloodline. If we want to create a perfect experimental host, it's not like we don't have one. Calling Erii back shouldn't be a problem.

With Erii's physical abilities, she could fully support the entire alchemical matrix, and she wouldn't refuse. Uesugi Kotsu wouldn't say anything either. But right now, she's not here; she's gone on vacation with Uesugi Kotsu.

She often went on short trips with Uesugi Koshi, about once a week, and then rested for a few days afterward. Every time she finished a trip, she would excitedly share with Lu Mingfei what she had seen and done... just like a happy child.

Lu Mingfei didn't think much of it, after all, Erii was just a child like that, but the system analyzed it horizontally and concluded that Erii was trying to attract his attention...

"The only question now is whether his bloodline can support the perfect operation of the alchemical matrix?"

Looking at the blueprints, Old Tang said, "Hybrids don't need an additional drive source; they can directly use the dragon blood within their bodies to operate the alchemical matrix. The higher the proportion and concentration of dragon blood, the more efficient the alchemical matrix will be, but it will also be more fragile..."

Due to the suppression of the Alchemy Matrix, theoretically, it is possible to raise the bloodline within a person to its limit, thus possessing a Deadpool-like body while also having a clear mind and the additional boost from the Alchemy Matrix.

However, doing this results in an extremely high proportion of bloodlines. If anything goes wrong, he could instantly turn into Deadpool.

Using this alchemical matrix on loyal subordinates is simply treating them like expendable resources!

"We need to complete this experiment first to prove the feasibility of this alchemical matrix before we can proceed to the next step of discussing safety precautions," the system said.

This issue was actually discussed before, but it's clear that Lao Tang forgot about it.

"I understand, I was distracted..."

Old Tang rubbed his temples. In the past few days, as his research on the alchemy matrix deepened and his experiments became more and more perfect, his mental problems became more and more serious.

Even when he wasn't sleeping, he could occasionally hear the faint ringing of his brother's voice. Every time he heard that little brat's voice, his heart would skip a beat, as if it were something very important.

But he really doesn't have a younger brother! He's an orphan born in an American orphanage, where would he get a younger brother?

What's really strange is that the little kid's voice has been appearing in his dreams for years, but his appearance hasn't changed at all.

"No, I feel like I can't take it anymore. Am I putting too much pressure on myself?"

Old Tang thought to himself, "Once the alchemical matrix on Chu Zihang's body proves feasible, I need to quickly ask for leave to rest and sleep for three days and three nights before taking the bonus and going out to have some fun..."

The experiment continues.

Chu Zihang lay motionless on the experimental table. He had been completely anesthetized, not with ordinary anesthetics, but with a super anesthetic developed using alchemy.

The talents plundered from the Snake Clan began to shine. This veterinary drug, capable of taking down a rhinoceros, had no side effects when used on humans, including the addictive side effects of other potent anesthetics. The only drawback was its slightly higher production cost.

"Stop, the alchemical matrix here is too fragile. It needs to be reinforced when used on Chu Zihang. However, this will interfere with the alchemical matrix next to it. We need to find a way to make it compatible..." Old Tang stared at the blueprints and looked at Lu Mingfei's hand as he performed the surgery, and frowned again.

"Hmm." The system immediately stopped.

"Let's try another one. Let's use the experimental material to test the new alchemical matrix and see if it can be fused." Old Tang waved his hand, and the experimental material hybrid was immediately pulled up.

He drew his newly conceived alchemical matrix on paper and had the system try it out.

Lu Mingfei couldn't help but say to the system about Old Tang, who had come up with a new alchemical matrix in just two minutes: "Old Tang's thinking about creating alchemical matrices is getting faster and faster, but his mental state is getting worse and worse... Let him rest for a few days after we finish Chu Zihang's alchemical matrix today, otherwise I'm afraid he'll die suddenly in front of the lab table."

Old Tang's mental state is inversely proportional to the speed of alchemy matrix development; the worse his mental state, the faster the alchemy matrix is ​​developed...

[…definitely…]

The system naturally agreed with Lu Mingfei's words; it was not the kind of "person" who liked to exploit resources to the point of exhaustion.

While the speed of exploiting resources to the point of exhaustion is important, sustainable development is also important, but the exploitation of resources for sustainable development is even more important.

If we exploit Old Tang to death now, we might not be able to find such talent again in the future. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

However, Old Tang's body... well, it basically rules out the possibility of him being a dragon. Even if he were a hybrid, let alone a dragon, his body wouldn't be this bad, looking like he's about to die suddenly... Lu Mingfei might not even look like this after staying up all night for three days.

Old Tang was flooring the accelerator for the experiment. The complete alchemical matrix that would affect Chu Zihang's entire body was completed in two and a half days, half a day faster than expected.

"Wake up!"

The system slapped Chu Zihang several times before he finally woke up slowly after the anesthetic wore off.

"what happened?"

Chu Zihang looked a little dazed. His usual aloof demeanor was gone. He had slept for two and a half days. Although the alchemical anesthetic was completely harmless to the human body, he was still dazed.

The system said, "The experiment is complete. Quickly test the effect so that Lao Tang can go back to sleep and rest in peace, otherwise Lao Tang will die of exhaustion."

Hearing this, Chu Zihang became more alert and tried to get up from the lab table quickly, but found that he had slept for too long and his body was a little weak.

However, he sensed something within his body, and in an instant, his bloodline was activated, and his dazzling golden eyes shone like a light bulb.

As his bloodline roared under the blessing of the alchemical matrix, his golden eyes shone even brighter, and his body seemed to possess inexhaustible power!

The brilliant golden light began to turn into a dark gold, but his body did not show signs of dragonification like the little dragon man who had reached the limit of his bloodline.

"I feel like I can beat 10 times my past self now."

Chu Zihang moved his wrist, and the cracking sound of his bones was incredibly crisp.

"Let's see your strength." The system handed him a piece of alloy steel.

Without hesitation, he grabbed it, and under the watchful eyes of the people in the laboratory, a shattering sound suddenly rang out.

Chu Zihang opened his hand, and a handprint appeared on the alloy steel that should have been incredibly hard, with a crack in it.

"You succeeded, but not completely." The system looked at Chu Zihang's hand and said, "Your body has not reached its limit with your strength. If you were to use a harder material, your bones might break before his."

It still requires enhancing one's bloodline... However, this can be considered a successful path to godhood, albeit a pseudo-path to godhood.

Chapter 178 Hegemony in Hand

Xia Mi: "We found something good."

Then came several pictures she took, mostly of pottery shards, each with exquisite patterns. But in addition to these pottery shards, there were also stone slabs, on which dragon characters were clearly engraved. Three of the dragon characters meant "Baidi City".

Due to the incompleteness of the stone slabs, the inscriptions on Baidi City in Longwen do not contain much information. However, the three characters "Baidi City" are enough to reveal a great deal of information.

[...The construction of Baidi City was based on the additions and expansions made to the existing city-building structures of previous dynasties. Baidi City exhibits a phenomenon of cities within cities and cities overlapping each other. The mountain fortresses during the Southern Song and Yuan wars, on the other hand, formed a defensive system of interconnected cities, cities within cities, and outer cities, exhibiting strong characteristics of military fortresses...]

However, the origin of Baidi City can still be traced back to Gongsun Shu, who dominated the Shu region at the end of the Western Han Dynasty...

[...Gongsun Shu Group...]

The system does not approve of the idea that Gongsun Shu is a dragon simply because Baidi City is associated with dragons.

Humanity has written a history without dragons, but that doesn't mean that a history with dragons hasn't been passed down. You could say that Gongsun Shu's history is related to hybrid races, but it has nothing to do with dragons.

Therefore, the system is targeting the people in Gongsun Shu's power group and the origin of the name Baidi City.

"Could Gongsun Shu be a member of the faction that submits to the enemy?"

Lu Mingfei's idea was that Gongsun Shu submitted to the dragon and served the dragon as his monarch, thus obtaining the things related to Baidi City.

There is already a lot of knowledge about dragons, including the major factions of hybrid races in the world.

Human surrender faction, human fence-sitters. Human submission faction, human war faction.

The surrender faction mainly focuses on avoiding war; for example, the Secret Society's Doomsday Faction is a surrender faction. The fence-sitters, on the other hand, support whoever wins; they'll help the dragons if the dragons win, and they'll help the humans if the humans win. Both of these factions are relatively weak.

The divide between the subjugation faction and the war faction is quite rigid: one firmly believes that the dragon will win, while the other firmly believes that humanity must fight to the death.

Angers was a staunch advocate of war, and Kassel College was like a chariot he commanded. The people on this chariot were all eager to fight, and their unwavering spirit of slaying dragons for humanity was what sustained them.

The subjugation faction is a bit more complicated. Their submission stems from the fact that the dragon race operates under a feudal monarchy, with human hybrids holding positions below the monarch. Other factors are also involved, such as simple worship of the dragon's powerful strength, etc.

[...If Gongsun Shu was a member of the submission faction, then his claim to the title of "White Emperor" would undoubtedly be an overstepping of this authority. Rather than Gongsun Shu being a member of the submission faction, it is more likely that he obtained information about the "White Emperor" through various channels...]

The system immediately rejected Lu Mingfei's flawed idea, since the theoretical flaws were too obvious.

Holding the design blueprint that Lao Tang had just successfully tested on Chu Zihang, the system compared it with the alchemy matrix design blueprint that Lao Tang had initially designed for ordinary people, and began to apply it to Lu Mingfei.

The alchemical matrix on Chu Zihang's body is a modified version. This alchemical matrix was originally intended to be used on ordinary people. The difference between the two is whether or not the human body has bloodline. Ordinary people do not have dragon blood in their bodies as the driving source of the alchemical matrix, so an additional driving source needs to be set up.

This is troublesome, but Lu Mingfei really does have this thing, and it's top-tier dragon blood at the Dragon King level.

The realization that "my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens" came true after swallowing a golden pill.

The dragon blood crystal was absorbed and stored within the driving source alchemy matrix. Lu Mingfei moved his wrist and activated the alchemy matrix in an instant. This time, he did not use his incantation, but he could still feel the powerful force contained within his body.

At the same time, he also has a purely human body.

At this moment, the strength and power of the human body are reversed; he can shatter stones and break through walls with a single punch, but the human body may not be able to withstand it.

However, if the power of words is added to him, increasing his physical strength, he can perfectly receive this power... without the flaw that hybrids like Chu Zihang need to raise their dragon blood to the highest level to obtain a stronger body.

However, Dragon King Blood Crystals are precious, and only Lu Mingfei can enjoy them, unless he can raise a Dragon King to extract its blood... This possibility is so small that it can be ignored, so we can just pretend it doesn't exist.

When the alchemical matrix on Lu Mingfei's body was completed, Lao Tang was still fast asleep in his bed. Lu Mingfei didn't wake him up, but instead boarded a plane to the Three Gorges.

"Mr. Lu, your health..."

Xia Mi, who came to pick him up, raised an eyebrow. She could now vaguely sense the aura and feeling of an alchemical matrix within Lu Mingfei's body.

"The experiment was a success."

"I know, but it wasn't entirely successful. Chu Zihang has an alchemical matrix that enhances his own strength, but he can't control multiple incantations as easily as you, boss."

"That's really not possible; his body simply can't handle any more alchemical matrices."

"..."

Because of the extremely high strength of metal, an alchemical matrix can be placed on metal to accommodate suitable Word of Power effects. Since metal can bear the weight, it is also convenient to create the output end of Word of Power, so the difficulty is not that great. Even Lu Mingfei could do it easily before. This is the convenience brought by the plasticity of materials.

Chu Zihang's body, however, does not possess the plasticity of alchemical metals.

Xia Mi and Lu Mingfei discussed the alchemy matrix. Knowing the effects of the alchemy matrix, she wasn't in a hurry for Lu Mingfei to put it on her.

She said, "With this alchemical matrix, B-rank can be used as A+, A-rank as S-rank, and S-rank as dragon wielders. If you add a matching Word of Power, the amplification effect will only be stronger... Boss, you now have the strength to dominate the world, directly redefining the advanced combat power of human hybrids."

Lu Mingfei's alchemical matrix is ​​now almost equivalent to Herzog's royal blood IVF technology, and may even be slightly superior.

In vitro fertilization technology requires the baby to grow and develop, but Lu Mingfei's method can immediately boost the combat power of mixed-race individuals.

However, it is not without its flaws; ultimately, it is only through hybridization that it can reach its full potential.

"Dominating the world is too far-fetched..." Lu Mingfei shook his head.
