Chapter 94: Unspeakable Flesh

Late night, secret chamber.

Above the meditation seat.

Gunie sat cross-legged, opened his AFK system, and looked at the adventure page.

Adventure: Unspeakable Flesh.

Adventure content: Arrive at the designated location to obtain the unspeakable, terrifying flesh. (Note: Keep eyes tightly shut throughout the entire process; do not gaze upon it. The unspeakable, terrifying flesh itself must be collected using the system space.)

Looking at this adventure event, examining it back and forth carefully and deliberating, Gunie fell into contemplation.

This adventure of 'Unspeakable Flesh' was very peculiar.

The system gave instructions that required caution in both process and method.

From its name, it was clear that it involved things with strong curse memes and other mystical forces.

Of course, though dangerous, following the system would certainly be fine—there was no doubt about that.

But what Gunie thought about was whether he could use the corresponding resistances gained after reincarnation to touch those unspeakable existences.

After all, the content provided by the system indicated there was a piece of flesh, not some peculiar entity.

A single glance would result in death at worst.

And by using reincarnation, Gunie could endure this death; after gaining resistance, he could obtain more.

Reasonably using the system's various abilities to touch those terrifying and mysterious existences.

This was what Gunie had to do now.

Of course, the specifics would need to be carried out after entering the strange place guided by the system.

If it truly could not be confronted or even touched, Gunie would not force it.

'Mysterious existences, unspeakable objects, is it about to begin?' Gunie, sitting cross-legged on the meditation cultivation seat, pondered silently.

…

The next day.

The morning's work of refining high-grade rare potions continued as usual.

Around noon, Gunie had already completed the production of over a hundred bottles of high-grade rare potions.

As Gunie walked down the stone staircase passage into the hall, ready to have some coffee and rest,

Leona caught up from behind, holding experimental record files, and said quickly,

'Master Gunie, these are the experimental results of your last batch of secret-pattern potions I recorded yesterday afternoon. There's some progress.'

'Oh?' Gunie's heart stirred upon hearing this.

'Progress?'

'Mm.' Leona nodded.

'After the silver-armored rat consumed potion No. 54, it initially showed signs of drowsiness.'

'In the morning, its food intake increased significantly.'

'And after careful observation, the original scales on its body surface appeared matte, and their strength seemed to have slightly increased. From the enhancement of its scales, it can be roughly inferred that its physical body has also strengthened.'

'Of course, whether this is the case requires further detailed testing.'

After listening to Leona's explanation and reading all the information in the record file, Gunie closed the file, pondered for a moment, and then spoke,

'So... it's possible that the silver-armored rat's physical superhuman traits, or the dragon blood's superhuman traits in the potion, have been activated?'

'Yes.' Leona nodded excitedly.

This was a breakthrough, and she was naturally very happy.

At this moment, Gunie was also quite surprised.

'I wanted to enhance soul-type superhuman traits, but instead, I activated the superhuman traits of this dragon blood.'

'Overall, it's still a gain—no, it should be a major gain.' After some thought, Gunie discovered the immense potential of this nightmare dragon blood-based secret-pattern potion.

Using dragon blood to enhance physical superhuman traits might have broader applications than enhancing soul superhuman traits.

Combat and shadow superhumans far outnumber spellcasting superhumans.

'Potion No. 54 needs to be established as a project. Dragon blood potions enhancing physical superhuman traits are also a major discovery.' Gunie made a decision.

Then, Gunie looked at Leona.

'Has the professional potion experimenter in superhuman biology assigned by the higher-ups not arrived yet?'

When Gunie developed secret-pattern potions, he needed potion apprentices.

When entering the potion experimentation stage, superhumans in biology were needed to conduct corresponding experimental records to cooperate with Gunie in advancing the potion project.

But the higher-ups in the Vanguard Group hadn't expected Gunie to achieve results so quickly. The superhuman potion lab hadn't been set up yet.

When Gunie asked this, Leona immediately said,

'Personnel are already being transferred here.'

'And to avoid disturbing your rest and research, the large-scale experimental site has been set up next door, and it's currently under construction in the neighboring castle.'

'The white castle next door?' Gunie was slightly startled.

'Yes.'

The Vanguard higher-ups had bought another castle.

Gunie was first taken aback, then nodded slightly: 'Deep pockets, but I like it.'

Then, Gunie said calmly,

'I need to go into seclusion for a few days. You all handle the herbs as usual. I'll refine them when I come out.'

Leona was stunned upon hearing this.

With results already achieved, shouldn't they be working harder? The higher-ups were all paying attention to the situation here.

But she dared not say that.

After all, in the entire castle, and even in the entire potion academic world, no one understood secret-pattern potions better than Gunie.

Whatever Master Gunie instructed, she would just execute.

'Alright.' Leona replied.

The seclusion cultivation Gunie mentioned was naturally to explore the location of the 'Unspeakable Flesh' indicated by the system.

Perhaps it could be done in one night, or it might take a few days.

Preparing a few extra days wouldn't cause any other issues.

…

In the afternoon.

In a third-floor café in Sugg Ruins City.

Outside, heavy snow was falling.

Gunie was enjoying rich coffee and warmth here.

Looking at the gloomy weather outside, the swirling heavy snow, and the faintly visible monastery with black stone tile roof in the distance through the snow curtain,

That black stone tile monastery was the destination Gunie had secretly come out for this time.

Because that was the entry point for the unspeakable flesh.

After staring for a while, as if he had been sitting too long, Gunie shifted his position and also shifted his gaze.

This time, after shifting his gaze, Gunie's eyes fell on the Sugg Ruins City Police Headquarters across the street.

Next to the police headquarters building was a collapsed structure.

That should be the bombed-out sealed object site of the police headquarters.

Gunie had seen news reports that the attack on the police headquarters during the Blood Moon had caused at least twenty police officers' deaths and over a dozen civilian casualties.

And through superhuman channels, Gunie had learned more: some sealed objects in the police headquarters' sealed ground had been stolen, and a few had spread and been lost.

Recently, enforcers had been tracking down the whereabouts of the sealed objects.

'Those aliens and heretics really stop at nothing. When they can kill officials, they never show mercy.' Gunie thought to himself.

'So when killing them, one must never show the slightest mercy.'

Then, Gunie checked the time: a little past two in the afternoon.

'I've been waiting for over ten minutes. If he's here, he should be coming soon. If he hasn't shown up by the time I finish my coffee, then he's probably not around.' Gunie mused.

Today, Gunie had quietly left Deep爵 Castle alone through the secret passage in the secret chamber.

His purpose was to head to the adventure location indicated by the system.

Passing by the police headquarters, Gunie remembered that George had saved him last time, and he hadn't thanked him in person.

So he gave a newsboy two silver dragons to go into the police station and find a senior officer named 'George Derrick,' saying someone was waiting for him at the café across the street.

Just as Gunie was pondering, footsteps sounded from behind him.
