For Ye Zhongming's arrival and departure, Liu Zhenghong was slightly surprised but quickly guessed his intention.
“Little Leaf, you don’t really think that what I said is easy, and that transferring the spatial gene into the Life Egg will be an effortless task, do you?”
Ye Zhongming was momentarily stunned; he hadn’t considered this issue and instinctively thought it should be a very simple task.
“If you want it, just wait. I estimate that in five days, I can give you five more.”
Ye Zhongming felt a bit disappointed, but he also understood that science is not something that can just be spoken into existence. Liu Zhenghong was actually doing very well.
Just as Ye Zhongming was about to leave, Liu Zhenghong stopped him, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, “To implant the spatial gene into the appropriate Life Egg, the egg needs some processing. There are indeed no ordinary eggs available now, but among the ninth-level Life Eggs you brought back, I happen to have one that I’ve processed in this way. Do you want it?”
After saying this, she seemed a bit reluctant and quickly added, “You should think it over. After all, there is a chance of failure in manufacturing. If that egg stays in my laboratory, although it is also an experimental subject, the possibility of success is very high. At least, after these few days of preliminary research, I am quite certain I can hatch them. It is certain that Cloud Summit will have a few ninth-level life cubs.”
Ye Zhongming found himself in a dilemma.
He was indeed unsure whether he could successfully create something with this egg, and even if he succeeded, he wasn’t clear whether a ninth-level cub would be more beneficial to Cloud Summit than a piece of spatial equipment. After all, during the growth process of a ninth-level cub, there were too many unpredictable factors, such as dying in battle or not being able to upgrade to the ninth level at all.
However, if he were to give up just like that, he felt very unwilling.
In the end, after carefully considering it for a while, he decided to take the egg.
As a craftsman, a top-level craftsman, how could he give up manufacturing just because he was afraid of failure? That was too ridiculous.
Ye Zhongming adjusted his mindset, smiled, and left with the ninth-level Life Egg in hand. Liu Zhenghong shot him a glare from behind, then she also smiled.
This was what a leader, a leader in the apocalypse, should be like!
If it needed to be taken, then take it; if it needed to be used, then use it; if it needed to be selfish, then be selfish!
Liu Zhenghong even thought that Little Leaf’s character was a bit too 'soft'; otherwise, Cloud Summit would definitely have become a real war machine by now.
But at the same time, she admitted in her heart that she preferred to follow a Ye Zhongming like this. No matter how strong she was, she was ultimately just a person. The feeling of having a big tree to lean on, one that wouldn’t betray her, was what she truly enjoyed.
Back in the room, Ye Zhongming took out the egg and shook his head slightly.
He had handed over the ninth-level materials to Liu Zhenghong for research, and she would return them to him for manufacturing equipment because of the success rate issues. Ye Zhongming felt that there were still too few materials of this level.
He couldn’t help but have such thoughts surge in his mind.
Should Cloud Summit also start attempting to hunt ninth-level life forms?
Once this thought emerged, it became somewhat uncontrollable. Ye Zhongming’s mind flashed with the voice of a ninth-level life form. Perhaps that creature would be more suitable for Cloud Summit to hunt.
Putting aside those thoughts for the moment, after thinking for a while, Ye Zhongming decided to go ahead with crafting accessories. As for whether only accessories were compatible with the spatial gene or something else, he would address that later.
This time, Ye Zhongming chose to craft a jade pendant, a jade pendant with a blueprint.
