Chapter 607: Entering the [Cross-Dimensional Gene Fusion Laboratory], the Shock of 66 Epic-Grade Items

"That's..."

Yu Yuan listened to the roars coming from afar and turned his head to look.

But the distance was simply too great; he couldn't make out what was happening at all.

However, although he couldn't see what was going on over there, he could clearly see the clusters of Parasitic Spore Clouds in the sky, seemingly activated, as if they had sensed prey.

They were moving toward the direction where the sounds were coming from, appearing to move slowly, but one had to remember that Yu Yuan was now quite far from them.

Therefore, their actual speed wasn't slow at all.

"Heh, they've attracted the attention of the Parasitic Spore Clouds!"

The exploration limit for this Civilization Relic was eight people, because there were only eight Civilization Relic Invitation Letters.

But he himself had three letters in hand, meaning that from start to finish, only six players had actually entered this Civilization Relic.

One person had already been corrupted by the Rotten Eye and mutated into a monster right from the start.

Now, aside from himself, there were at most only four players remaining.

Considering the strength of the middle-aged man he had seen earlier, along with the sounds of battle coming from that direction now.

Yu Yuan suspected that at least two to three of the remaining four players were Silver-tier, or even Silver Rank players.

If he were to face off against these guys, it would be nothing but a thankless, exhausting task.

So he naturally had no interest whatsoever in getting involved.

Yu Yuan looked toward the [Cross-Dimensional Gene Fusion Laboratory], now right in front of him, and a smile crept onto his face.

"You guys go ahead and fight, go wild! Turn this Civilization Relic upside down! As for me, I'm going to have a nice, big feast!"

Soon, Yu Yuan appeared at the [Cross-Dimensional Gene Fusion Laboratory].

This laboratory resembled some kind of plant aggregate, with transparent membranes like glass and shell-like building materials forming its structure.

It had no conventional windows or doors, only several entrances facing different directions, which were now tightly constricted.

As Yu Yuan approached an entrance, a virtual light screen popped up, displaying a red no-entry icon, and two black holes materialized around the entrance, aimed directly at Yu Yuan.

But immediately, Yu Yuan's acquired [Morphis Civilization Relic Admin Privileges] took effect.

[This area is a restricted zone. Detected that Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' possesses admin privileges. Free entry permission granted.]

The next moment, the red no-entry icon turned green.

The two black holes that had suddenly appeared vanished.

And the originally tightly sealed entrance opened rapidly, revealing the passageway behind it.

The inner walls of the passage were smooth, and one could see countless tiny hairs lining both sides of the corridor.

As Yu Yuan stepped inside and walked through the passage, those tiny hairs swayed, some of them brushing against Yu Yuan's body.

A new status notification appeared on the virtual light screen — [Purified Body]: No harmful pathogens on the body's surface, immunity enhanced.

"Could these hairs have the effect of purifying pathogens from the body's surface?"

Yu Yuan was astonished. If that was true, then these hairs were a fantastic find!

They could be perfectly installed at the entrance to the Freedom Tower World, but that could wait. First, he needed to see what was inside.

After the entrance passage, a sign appeared.

"Quarantine Hall and Disinfection Room..." That was where Yu Yuan currently was.

The hall had ten quarantine stations, each with a shiny, irregular crystal and a biological organ resembling an eyeball mounted above it.

And around the quarantine stations were six tentacles.

Yu Yuan immediately recognized that the crystal was extraordinary and stepped forward to inspect it.

[Ding, high-value material 'Quarantine Record Crystal' detected.]

[Quarantine Record Crystal]

Quality: Epic★★

Description: This crystal contains recorded genetic data information on tens of thousands of microorganisms, with auto-search and auto-storage capabilities.

——————

"Whoa, damn! What a way to start..."

Yu Yuan hadn't expected that the very first thing he'd find here would be an Epic ★★ item, and it was just a crystal used for recording data.

Although the description only mentioned data recording functions, Yu Yuan didn't believe for a second that an Epic-grade item really only had that limited capability.

So, what was he waiting for?

Yu Yuan's gaze shifted to the eyeball mounted on the quarantine station and the tentacles that clearly weren't friendly.

[Quarantine Truth-Seeking Eyeball]

Quality: Epic★★★

Description: This eyeball possesses a 'True Sight' effect. When crafted into an item, it can break through disguises, invisibility, parasitic possession, and hallucination states, directly revealing a creature's true form.

Function: Can detect changes in a creature after it has undergone disguise.

[Digestive Dissolving Tentacle]

Quality: Epic★

Description: Contains powerful digestive enzymes inside. Can be extracted for making 'dissolving-type potions,' or used directly to entangle enemies.

But one must be careful not to get entangled by them oneself.

Function: Upon entangling an enemy, it can cause a powerful corrosive dissolving effect.

——————

Yu Yuan stared in disbelief at the information before him.

His eyes were practically popping out of his head.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!"

"Is this the true weight of an above Gold-tier lair? The lowest is Epic!!!"

He looked at the other quarantine stations, his eyes gleaming.

There were ten quarantine stations in this hall, so what was he waiting for!

Yu Yuan immediately got to work doing what he did best. He'd been a bit cautious just a moment ago.

After all, the entrance had clearly been armed with defensive measures.

Who knew if taking these things might trigger some kind of defense mechanism.

But clearly, his concerns were unfounded.

After carefully dismantling two quarantine stations, Yu Yuan just let loose.

The quarantine crystals were pried off, the big eyeballs were ripped out, and those tentacles were collected one by one.

The only pity was that, perhaps because this place had been in decay for too long.

Two of the 'Truth-Seeking Eyeballs' had already shriveled up, and many of the tentacles had withered away.

In the end, Yu Yuan harvested:

Quarantine Record Crystal ×10

Quarantine Truth-Seeking Eyeball ×8

Digestive Dissolving Tentacle ×48

——————

With 66 Epic-grade items in his possession all of a sudden, Yu Yuan felt a bit unreal.

But he only mused over it for a moment before turning his gaze to the building adjacent to the Quarantine Hall — the Disinfection Room.

Said to be a disinfection room.

It was actually similar to the security area's disinfection spray room in the Yu Yuan Shelter, just incomparable in terms of facilities and size.

The walls of the room were made of living tissue that twitched and squirmed from time to time.

On the ceiling were countless spherical sacs.

The disinfection room was huge, and these sacs were huge too. Some were clearly dried up and dead, while others were still swollen and full.

Yu Yuan could see some pale golden liquid stored inside them.

On the ground, there were some traces of black stains left behind.

As Yu Yuan walked into the disinfection room, a patch of black stain was right under his foot.

As his gaze swept over it, information about the stain appeared simultaneously.

[Disinfection Residue]

Quality: Rare

Description: Some unknown creature's genetic fragments seem to remain here. They could bring you some gains otherwise.

——————

Even just a pile of residue was of Rare quality.

If it had been before, Yu Yuan might have been interested in this residue.

But now.

After the harvest from the Quarantine Hall just now.

Yu Yuan had come to understand that the abundance of materials here far exceeded his expectations.

His limited space, energy, and time should be focused on things that were even more worthwhile.

Like, for instance...

His gaze settled on the pale golden liquid suspended in the sacs hanging from the ceiling.
