Chapter 398: Chapter 206: The Significance and Value of the Mother Empress’s Corpse

If other lesser life forms were to eat the raw flesh of the Mother Empress’s corpse, they would likely suffer from internal bleeding and other adverse inflammatory reactions, to say nothing of whether they could even withstand the toxicity.

Lesser immune systems cannot contend with Tier Three Cells.

Exposed to Blue Star’s environment, the Mother Empress’s Corpse was like food in Cans. It would remain preserved for a long time, only decaying once it completely lost its source of Energy.

Thankfully, Lin Feng had already absorbed most of its Life Energy. Otherwise, even with the Mother Empress brain-dead, the Realm Power within its body could have drawn on that energy to continuously emit Genetic Radiation, creating a never-ending problem.

The bizarre phenomenon would have spread, causing endless trouble.

Lin Feng had discussed this with Ling Yi before. According to her, even with all its energy plundered after death, the remaining flesh and blood of the Zerg corpse still held immense value.

Its organs and tissues alone were Tier Two Orange Quality materials. A Tier Two Life Form would reap great benefits from consuming them.

Benefits such as cellular re-evolution and the enhancement of their abilities.

Furthermore, the bones and brain tissue within the Mother Empress were genuine Tier Three Golden Quality materials, immensely beneficial even to other Mother Empresses.

For humanity, however, the value of this Tier Three Zerg corpse was not just in the body itself, but also in all that it symbolized.

Therefore, until he had squeezed every drop of significance from it, Lin Feng wouldn’t allow its underlying value to be revealed, which would only cause it to depreciate.

"You want to study this colossal corpse?"

After staring silently at the behemoth for several seconds, Lin Feng finally turned to the woman, who was still choosing her words, and spoke.

It wasn’t that Ling Shuyan didn’t want to speak. It was that while Lin Feng was gazing up at the corpse, she had already scoured her mind for any information, any leverage she might have, but she simply couldn’t find any terms that could possibly move Lin Feng.

In other words, she no longer had any capital with which to negotiate a partnership with Lin Feng.

He could completely bypass her, working directly with the Federation Research Institute to establish an independent department at Jin City Base dedicated solely to dissecting the Mother Empress.

If that happened, then no matter how many paradigm-shifting discoveries were made, Ling Shuyan would have nothing to do with any of them.

At best, she’d be a task leader within the department, her name buried as the third or fourth author—or even further down the list—on any resulting publications.

However, since Lin Feng had brought it up, Ling Shuyan, as powerless as she felt, could only follow her heart’s desire and nod.

A slight smile touched Lin Feng’s lips. He turned his gaze back to the Mother Empress’s Corpse and continued,

"The High-tier Zerg Race Mother Empress is not just a crucial command center for the Zerg Race; it represents the very peak of their biotechnology! There are only just over a thousand of them in the entire world, and each one is a unique existence!"

"If we were to study it, it would advance humanity’s current biotechnology by at least several hundred, or even a thousand, years!"

Ling Shuyan swallowed hard. It was crystal clear to her that Lin Feng was fully aware of the High-tier Zerg corpse’s value.

Right now, if she could just get Lin Feng’s approval, she would agree without hesitation—even if she had to give up everything, be it her body or even her very soul.

No one could turn down such a priceless opportunity.

Especially not a fanatical researcher.

So, before Lin Feng could speak again, Ling Shuyan proactively made her best offer in a humble tone:

"We are willing to surrender everything to become Mr. Lin’s private research team. All research results will belong exclusively to you alone..."

"...if you would just give us the word to begin dissecting and studying this Zerg Race Mother Empress’s corpse."

Hearing Ling Shuyan’s response, Lin Feng didn’t agree immediately, even though, for now, this seemed like the best way to handle the Zerg corpse.

But this wasn’t the only option Lin Feng had.

If the Federation Research Institute could make a tempting offer—shared access to the Superpower Gene Library, for example—then Lin Feng would consider letting them participate in the Mother Empress research as well.

"Alright. Get ready."

Lin Feng’s answer was deliberately ambiguous. No matter how the research was handled, Ling Shuyan would certainly be involved. It was just a matter of whether he would grant her exclusive access or bring in multiple parties for a collaborative project.

Ling Shuyan let out a sigh of relief at his affirmative response.

A slight smile played on Lin Feng’s lips.

"But not now!"

"We’ll wait until the entire world knows it exists!"
