Chapter 326: Chapter 77: Trading with a Demon? Are You Out of Your Mind! _3

Soon, a “timed bomb” capable of completely destroying the “Biological Factory” was fully installed.

Estimating the time, Boss Otis made a new decision: “Assad and Link will stay to carry out the original research task, while the rest of you will follow me, targeting the Fairy King’s Sleeping Ground”.

This decision perfectly fits the style and temperament of the special squad.

Plan? What plan?

The plan is to adapt to changes on the fly!

Boss Otis’ command to split the squad once again exceeded Link’s expectations.

However, it also aligned with Link’s intentions.

He really did not want to commit mass killings, as it would cause him discomfort.

Staying to carry out the original research task seemed ideal.

Thus, the special squad split into two teams, five set out and two stayed behind.

Assad walked alongside Link amidst the many bustling fairies.

They leisurely explored the inner part of the “Biological Factory”, searching for either the data room or the core laboratory.

They found neither the data room nor the core laboratory.

They only found several unremoved assembly lines used for the production of potions.

Almost all the finished potions produced on these assembly lines were moved out after hasty evacuation and relocation.

Only a few raw materials that hadn’t been moved and several green finished potion products in the corners were left scattered.

Link didn’t care much for the finished products. What he valued were the raw materials.

“I’ll stand guard. You make haste.”

Assad glanced at the somewhat excited Link, raised an eyebrow, left this sentence, then turned to guard.

Link put down the backpack he was carrying, took out a set of miniaturized experimental equipment, and started it up.

He first sorted the raw materials, taking samples of each for backup, and then carried out detailed inspections.

While waiting for the inspection results, Link didn’t waste any time.

He inspected the entire production line from start to finish, inferring the procedures involved.

Based on the types of raw materials, the inferred procedures, and the remaining raw material residues on the production line, he continued his calculations.

With the data of fairies at different stages of mutation in his mind as a reference, Link quickly restored a material ratio.

He started the production line, added raw materials according to the restored material ratio, initiated the procedures in order, and tried to synthesize a potion.

In no time, he obtained several all-green potions.

Comparing them with the remaining finished potions, they were identical in every aspect.

This proved that the material ratio Link had restored was the original ratio used in the manufacturing process of the fairy “Biological Factory”.

By then, the results of the raw material characteristic inspections had also come in.

Upon detailed examination, Link noticed that if the characteristics detected were accurate, then the material ratio used in the production operation of the “Biological Factory” had a flaw that could be completely avoided.

It was this flaw that amplified the demand for vitality in the biochemical transformation and enhancement method for enhancing fairy talents, leading to mass mutation in the fairies undergoing the enhancement.

From various traces, Link intuitively believed that the flaw in the material ratio was an intentional trap.

This trap wasn’t sophisticated at all. The Fairy King, who was supposedly a Level 4 sage, did not notice it.

He even dared to use it on himself.

This shocked Link.

No wonder the Fairy King was almost killed by a single blow from Sage Palo.

Ignorance is bliss!

He didn’t continue to ponder whether the Fairy King was wise or foolish.

Instead, Link started thinking about which “person” had intentionally set this flaw.

Due to lack of intelligence and incomplete information, the details were foggy from Link’s perspective.

However, for others, there might be no secret.

Link looked at Assad, who was standing by, shared his findings, and then asked, “Does the information you have about the Fairy World include such a ‘person’?”

After listening to what Link had to say, Assad giggled and then burst into loud laughter.

One of his questions was finally answered by Link’s recent discovery.

No wonder there was no precedent for biochemical modification throughout the history of the Fairy World.

But under this Fairy King, a relatively systematic method emerged.

So, it wasn’t that the reconnaissance effort in the early stage of the legion mission had missed a crucial piece of information, or the Fairy King had secretly mastered some level of biochemical knowledge on his own.

Instead, the Fairy King had conducted some type of transaction with the demon that had been sealed within the barrier, and obtained the method of biochemical enhancement from the demon.

Making a deal with a demon…

“Hehehe…”

As Assad thought about this possibility, his laughter became even more exaggerated.

Only fools would make a deal with a demon.

Incurable fools.

None of those who have made a deal with a demon in the Heavenly World ever faired well.

Except for witches.
