Chapter 387: Illuminates the Focus of [Biological Screening], News of the 58th Day of the Wasteland Calendar

Seeing Jiu Feng's message.

A sudden inspiration flashed in Yu Yuan's mind, immediately recalling the previous battle scene when Weiss transformed into a werewolf.

He seemed to understand what the standard for a Pure-Blood Werewolf was.

"Could it be... that reaching Bronze-tier in strength is the pure-blood standard?"

"If that's the case, it might truly be related to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association's genetic modification experiments!"

"After all, the success of the genetic modification experiments is due to Jiu Feng's talent ability [Bio-Modification Maniac], and he obtained this talent from a great existence. That is to say, there is another great existence behind this genetic modification technology..."

A gleam shone in Yu Yuan's eyes.

"If so... then everything makes sense."

"Yes, it must be like this..."

Yu Yuan's train of thought became clear.

Mixed-Blood Werewolves are born simply by being bitten by a Pure-Blood Werewolf.

It's very casual and simple. Naturally, the strength of Mixed-Blood Werewolves wouldn't be too high, and advancing to Bronze-tier would be extremely difficult.

But the [Werewolf Modification Potion] not only requires the werewolf's gene sequence but also the extremely precious spiritual material [Spirituality Concentrate]. Producing a single bottle isn't easy.

Looking only at the technical sophistication of the two werewolf creation methods, which is superior is immediately obvious.

Like Blood Slaves, Mixed-Blood Werewolves are just ordinary Pebble-tier creatures. Even if their physical fitness is enhanced, it's quite limited.

But once they cross over to the Bronze grade, it's completely different.

In the Blood Clan, they become Blood Clan Descendants.

In the Wolf Clan, they become Pure-Blood Werewolves.

The principle is the same.

It's just that Blood Slaves can never be promoted to become Blood Clan Descendants.

But Mixed-Blood Werewolves have the opportunity to purify their bloodline, advance to Bronze-tier, and enter the ranks of Pure-Blood Werewolves.

Yu Yuan immediately sent his analysis and speculation to Jiu Feng.

Jiu Feng and Miller also felt this speculation was likely the truth of the matter.

"Doesn't that mean I can completely build a combat force composed of Pure-Blood Werewolves..."

"However, werewolves respect strength above all. If we ever face the Wolf Clan in the future, could this become a fatal hidden danger..."

Yu Yuan sent his thoughts to Jiu Feng.

[Saint: That is indeed a possibility. After all, we haven't had contact with true werewolves. According to biological genetics analysis, individuals with a higher degree of bloodline evolution can indeed easily influence individuals with a lower degree of bloodline.]

[Saint: Actually, in my view, in this kind of racial civilization war, both the Blood Clan and the Wolf Clan have obvious advantages and disadvantages. If we could combine the Wolf Clan's bloodline evolution characteristics with the Blood Clan's ruling characteristics, that would be a perfect war machine.]

"Hmm?"

Jiu Feng's words made Yu Yuan pause slightly.

"Combining the Wolf Clan and the Blood Clan..."

Yu Yuan opened the Virtual Light Screen, [Civilization Focus] — [Technology] — [Research] second layer.

His gaze fell on one of the focus icons.

[Biological Screening]: When conducting biological research and breeding, allows for the extraction and screening of excellent genes, molecules, cells, and characteristics within organisms for optimized cultivation and reproduction.

Unlocking requires consuming 10 Civilization Points.

————————————

Yu Yuan had always viewed this civilization focus as one related to animal husbandry.

Due to the shortage of Civilization Points, he had never activated it.

But Jiu Feng's words just now reminded him.

The [Biological Screening] civilization focus would have the same effect on Jiu Feng and Miller's research.

Moreover, Jiu Feng's words made Yu Yuan think of a very common biotechnology in plants: grafting.

Isn't grafting technology precisely about combining two plants with excellent characteristics? The resulting offspring would possess all the excellent traits of both plants, becoming a more competitive variety.

Jiu Feng's hypothesis about combining the Wolf Clan and the Blood Clan meant the same thing as grafting technology.

Actually, it's the same principle as the Aurora Animal Assistance Association's 'genetic modification technology'. If he let Miller research freely, Jiu Feng's idea would certainly be realized. But Yu Yuan didn't want to wait that long; he needed to speed up the process.

He immediately consumed 10 Civilization Points to activate the [Biological Screening] civilization focus. His Civilization Points were now down to the last 2 points.

But as [Biological Screening] was activated, Yu Yuan smiled.

Because among the newly appeared civilization focuses, he had already seen the result he wanted.

——[Biological Chimera]: When conducting biological research, utilizes genetic, molecular, and cellular means to achieve chimeric research involving cross-species and even cross-biological-domain tissue fusion and functional integration.

Unlocking requires consuming 50 Civilization Points.

[Greenwood City Daily]

Date: Wasteland Calendar, Day 58

Weather: Storm. Starting today, daylight hours are expected to shorten significantly, gradually entering the 'Polar Winter' phenomenon.

Temperature: -31°C

Publisher: Wasteland Fate Publishing House

"Polar Winter?"

Yu Yuan looked at the words in the newspaper, raising an eyebrow slightly.

This was actually good news for him, but then he remembered that in two days, the Ceasefire Token would disappear.

Yu Yuan silently began mourning for the invading players who were about to arrive.

"Good! This is the perfect time to explore other worlds."

Continuing to check the other news, the second and third pieces were still related to the Green Forest Parliament Alliance and the May Alliance.

The panic-spreading effect of the title [City Nightmare] was still ongoing.

But it seemed the "bullet" still needed to fly a bit longer.

However, when Yu Yuan saw the last piece of news, a trace of confusion appeared on his face.

[Neighborhood Life News]

Quality: Bronze

Danger Level: Medium

Last night, the Iron Anchor Shipping Company was attacked by a strange creature.

The entire attack process had no witnesses, and other thugs didn't hear any suspicious movements.

The bodies of the attacked personnel, three in total, were accidentally discovered only at 5 AM.

According to informant leaks, the scene was gruesome. The bodies showed signs of being gnawed on, with internal organs completely devoured.

Estimated time of death was around 1 AM last night.

Citizens are advised to pay attention to their own safety and lock doors and windows at night.

——————————

Bodies with gnawing marks, at night.

And no one heard any movement.

This was rather spooky.

In the current environment, it goes without saying that the Iron Anchor Shipping Company must have been holed up in a sealed location, resisting the Extreme Cold disaster.

Yet a beast managed to sneak in, kill three people without anyone noticing.

Quite unbelievable.

But what surprised Yu Yuan the most was:

In this environment, what kind of creature could still be active outside?

After all, this is a city!

The location of the Iron Anchor Shipping Company is also right next to the Greenwood Sea.

Even a beast couldn't survive outside for so long.

Yu Yuan immediately asked Mona if any Spiritual Creatures had escaped from Johnck Zoo.

Mona's answer was negative.

All animals within Johnck Zoo, including Spiritual Creatures, were staying in their containment rooms. None had escaped.

This was worth pondering.

Yu Yuan noted down this puzzle.

He would need to pay more attention to it later.

The Virtual Light Screen's Book of Fate also gained two new cards.

One was the Bronze-tier [Intelligence Card—Inside Information] just obtained from the Magazine Display Stand.

This was undoubtedly Yu Yuan's favorite type of card. Its power needs no elaboration.

The other was a brand-new celestial phenomenon card Yu Yuan obtained from the Starry Sky Observatory yesterday at dawn.

——[Celestial Phenomenon—Deviated Trajectory]

Quality: Silver

Effect: When another player initiates an Invasion War/Civilization War against you, you can activate this card to select another player to replace yourself as the invasion target, while performing information disguise.

This effect can ignore the [Ceasefire Token] effect. The war will not end until it is concluded, and you will not become an invasion/civilization war target again during this period. After the war ends, you can enter a ceasefire state.

(Brothers, sorry for the wait. Tomorrow we begin the path of world conquest.....)
