Chapter 388 Experiment

Not long after entering the Underground World, Nina went back to sleep. During this period of time, she was always like this. She slept intermittently and spent most of the day in a state of sleep, and there were very few times when she was awake.

Nina picked up the fruit and took a bite. Then she said, “Mmm mmm mmm… After a beauty sleep, I feel much better now.”

Heath said, “You woke up at the right time. I’m going to conduct a magic experiment in a while, so you can help me.”

Nina pursed her lips and muttered, “Please, can’t you find me for something else? Besides experiments, there are also experiments. It’s so annoying.”

Heath couldn’t help but be startled when he heard Nina’s complaint. “Is that so?”

“What do you think?” Nina said disdainfully. “Isn’t it? Think about it carefully. Don’t you always ask me to do experiments or do that for you? Seriously, I’m not your servant.”

Heath thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true. In fact, he didn’t deliberately use Nina as a tool. It was just that he had a lot of things to do, and he didn’t have any fixed people by his side. He could rely on Amy when he was in the lighthouse, but Nina was by his side most of the time. Of course, he had to rely on her.

Seeing that she looked like she had been wronged, Heath smiled. He comforted her, “Well, don’t complain like a resentful woman. When we’re done here, I’ll take you to the underworld and show you around. It’s rare to come here, so we can go where you want to

go.”

Hearing Heath’s words, Nina’s face finally turned from worry to joy. She laughed and said, “Then you can’t go back on your word!” Heath said, “It’s my motto in life to keep my word.”

After soaking in the pool for more than an hour, Heath got up. It was worth mentioning that the water in the pool was not ordinary water. At the bottom of the pool, Heath placed another Spiritual Recovery Gem. When this gem came into contact with the water, it would release a special energy to change the elemental structure of the water. At this time, Wizards who soaked in the water would be able to obtain a certain degree of spirit recovery.

Although he had consumed a lot of spirit energy in the previous battle, Heath had already consumed a Spiritual Water potion to recover more than half of his spirit energy. Now, after soaking in the pool for more than an hour… His spiritual power had completely recovered to its full state.

Following that, Heath did not delay any further. Instead, he brought Nina to the laboratory and began the experiment on the dissection of the Nightmare.

“It’s so disgusting. Where did you get this thing? It’s so creepy and sticky. Your experiment material is too disgusting.”

When Heath placed Nightmare’s body on the experiment table, Nina was immediately shocked by it. The image of the Nightmare was indeed one of the more disgusting types of experiment materials. Heath said, “You were sleeping just now, so I didn’t disturb you. There was a battle in the evening. I left behind these things in the battle. Now, I just want to find out what they are.”

Nina waved her hand in disgust. “Alright, alright. You’re a magic lunatic. I’m impressed.”

After placing the Nightmare’s physical body on the experimental table, Heath first performed an extraction. He pressed one hand on the Nightmare’s chest and silently chanted in his heart, ‘Extract.’

Unfortunately, the structure of the extraction was disappointing.

(Beep, extraction failed.]

Extraction failed? Heath could be said to have been mentally prepared for this result, and it was not too surprising

Up until now, the extraction could only be extraordinary matter or living matter that had just died. The number of attributes extracted mainly depended on the degree of preservation of the extract, the level of the extract itself, and so on.

And when he fought with this Nightmare previously, Heath had felt that this Nightmare was somewhat strange. It could not be defined by ordinary extraordinary matter. They did not even feel like living matter to Heath. This was because Heath could not feel the spiritual power of living substances from their bodies.

Since this was not a living substance, and it was not an ordinary extraordinary substance, then there would definitely be problems during the extraction.

The extraction failed. Heath was not discouraged and began the next task.

“Prepare a dissecting knife for me.”

“Yes.”

Nina handed over a small purple knife. Its shape was similar to the scalpel on Earth. This was a dissecting knife used by Wizards to perform body modification spells and to dissect living substances.

The experimental materials that Wizards needed to dissect were all strange. Many of the experimental materials were extremely hard, such as tortoise shells, scales, and so on, some of them had skin defenses that were no weaker than steel or even higher-level hard materials.

It was impossible for an ordinary knife to cut through the skin of these materials. It was precisely because of this that Wizards specially made this kind of dissecting knife.

It was refined and processed from a metal material called ‘Star Brilliance Metal Ore’. This material had extremely strong toughness, and at the same time, it had outstanding magical conductivity. After a lot of tempering, they could be forged into incomparably sharp blades. After that, the Wizards would arrange magic runes on the edges of the blades, allowing the ordinary knife to have extraordinary sharpness. It could cut through almost any material that existed in the world.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

After the skin was cut open, a yellowish-brown viscous liquid began to flow out. It looked like pus that was squeezed into the depths of the skin. The Nightmare’s body that was already disgusting was even more disgusting when paired with this thing.

Nina simply cried out, “Oh my god, what exactly is this thing?”

Heath said, “It should be blood.”

During the previous battle, Heath had noticed that this kind of liquid would flow out of the monster after it was injured. Although its appearance had changed greatly, Heath felt that it should be a substance like the blood of living creatures.

After a pause, he continued, “Give me a sample tube and prepare a section for microscopic observation.”

“Okay.”

Nina handed over two glass test tubes. Heath opened his Wizard’s Forcefield and put the monster’s blood cells, which were the yellowish-brown liquid, into the test tubes.

He then instructed Nina to bring over a few glass cards. After that, he sliced off a part of the Nightmare’s body cells and put it into the glass cards, then handed it back to Nina for microscopic observation.

Nina took the glass cards to a corner of the experimental table. There was an instrument similar to a microscope placed there.

Wizards would also conduct microscopic investigations when they were learning things. This kind of microscope was one of the main instruments they used to conduct microscopic investigations. It was the same situation as a microscope. This kind of thing could also see the movements of matter at the microscopic level. The difference was that this kind of instrument was actually not a tool in a strict sense. This was because it was made from the organs of some creatures.

For example, there was an eyeball at the bottom of the tube-shaped observation mirror of this microscope. That eyeball came from a kind of abyss-type creature called the Demon-Eyed Monster. This kind of creature belonged to the category of undead creatures. Even if the organ left the main body, it could still survive for a long time. According to this characteristic, the Wizards took the Demon-Eyed Monster’s eyeball and made it into a microscope. This was used as a microscopic phenomenon because the Demon-Eyed Monster had a unique talent. It could see through the outer layer of matter and go straight to the microscopic layer.

Heath asked, “How is it? What’s the observation result? Are the numbers out? If they are out, report to me.”

“They came out, but why does it feel strange? Are you sure that this is blood and not some random wastewater?”

Heath raised his eyebrows. “What do you mean?”

Nina said, “The blood flow factor is only 18. I remember that even the blood factor extracted from earthworms shouldn’t be lower than three digits. In addition, the floating value is pitifully low, only 2.8, which is eight percent lower than the normal value. Other than that…”

Nina reported the data to Heath one by one.

Hearing Nina’s report, Heath could not help but frown.

Just as Nina said, this thing did not look like blood, or even like the liquid excreted by any normal creature, but rather like some kind of wastewater. Almost none of the items on blood were right.

“What is it…”

With this doubt in mind, Heath continued his experiment.

Magic experiments were like this. In experiments, there would always be all kinds of strange problems, and the greatest value of many experiments was to solve these strange problems. Every time a problem was solved, it meant a gain for the Wizard themselves. It meant that they would grow in turn, and their knowledge would progress.

Heath then sampled the skin cells, bone fragments, and other parts of the Nightmare, trying to recognize familiar life sequences and figure out what this thing was.

This part was not easy. The life sequence of a creature was almost equivalent to the genetic code of a creature. It was the information hidden in the deepest part of the core of a creature’s cell, it was impossible to extract it by ordinary means. It required constant screening to extract piece after piece of information from the blood, bone fragments, skin, and other parts of the body. Then, the complete life sequence could be pieced together.

This was not something that could be done just by having enough experience. It also required a lot of time. Take the blood as an example. Just like the blood cell section just now, there was only a small piece of information, Heath still needed to do the blood cell section that he was not familiar with before he could piece together the complete blood cell life series. After that, the bone fragments, skin, and so on were all the same. After he had pieced them all together… Finally, he could piece together the entire life sequence of a creature. Very soon, it was late at night. “Yawn!” Nina stretched lazily and could not help but yawn. She rubbed her eyes wearily.

Heath, who was in front of the experiment table, could not help but raise his eyebrows. “Why? Are you sleepy?”.

i non

Nina said matter-of-factly, “Please, the two of us have been standing here in a daze for a few hours doing experiments. If it were a normal person, they would feel sleepy, okay?” Heath teased half-jokingly, “I still think that ghosts won’t be sleepy?”.

Nina rolled her eyes. “Don’t compare me to ordinary ghosts. Besides, you know that sleep is the greatest pleasure for me.”

Heath said, “Well… Since you’re sleepy, then go and rest first.”

Hearing the word ‘rest’, Nina was obviously energized. Doing magic experiments was the most boring. She was already impatient after staying here for a few hours. It would be great if she could be liberated now.

But after thinking about it, she felt that it was not very good to leave just like that. After all, she had personally promised Heath that she would help.

So she asked tentatively, “Uh… is this really good? I mean, if I’m not here, can your experiment continue? Of course it can continue, right? You’re a genius, aren’t you?”

Heath laughed and said, “If you want to slack off, go ahead. I won’t say anything.” Pausing for a moment, he explained in detail, “This experiment cannot be completed in a day or two. Let’s call it a day. We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”

Nina was so happy that she wanted to cheer, but Heath said, “From now on, we’ll do two experiments every day. Let’s set the time in the afternoon. There’s nothing to do during this time, so we can use it reasonably.”

Nina’s mouth twitched, and she was speechless. “No way, genius. Do you have to work so hard?”

Heath said strangely, “It’s only two hours a day. It’s not too much, right?”

Nina tilted her mouth. “Of course not, but it depends on how you compare it. If it were you, you would have been completely wrapped in magic all day long. Now, the only time you have to take a break for afternoon tea is to do experiments. I see that you’ve been focusing on magic every day. How can you have any fun in life like this?”

Heath was stunned.

When he thought about it carefully, what Nina said seemed to be the truth. Previously, he still had to practice swordsmanship to polish his life during the long period of magic training, which made his life not seem so monotonous. However, ever since his swordsmanship had entered a bottleneck, he had not been able to break through. Recently, Heath had less time to practice swordsmanship, and he spent all the extra time on magic training.

Although his strength had improved rapidly, it had to be said that this kind of life was too monotonous. Basically, Heath did not have much fun in life. He was like a standard training machine.

It was better when he was in Golden Harbor Town. After all, there were students, townsfolk, and Amy. Occasionally, Heath would go out for a walk. However, ever since he came out… On the way, Heath was either practicing or going to practice. It was really monotonous.

But it couldn’t be helped. After all…

Heath smiled. “Magic is the greatest joy of my life!”
