BXBX NOVEL Chapter 243 Stop Testing Me…
"Hehehe, they are myths but not friction. That\'s a difference." Immortika wrote amusingly as it liked Jacob\'s reaction.
Jacob inhaled deeply, as it was probably the biggest shock he got after discovering the Brain Hunter\'s true value and background.
"What kind of insect is it, and why is it important?" He got right to the main point. He was now too eager to try this ritual array on Brain Hunter and make it completely submit to him.
But he knew that carcass should be very important since even Immortika praised it, and this might also be why SAAI was giving him 1 million ZC without any appraisal at all.
He couldn\'t help but scoff silently when he thought about how he nearly got cheated by an AI and his own lack of knowledge. If he had even sold one of these three things in the champion space, then he would really regret it for the rest of his life.
"It\'s called the Illusory Dream Empyrean Dragonfly, and as its name suggests, its abilities are related to Illusion and Dream. I don\'t know how someone was able to capture it or even find its carcass and then preserve it in that specially-made capsule.
"As for whether it is important or not, you can decide for yourself. There was a famous theory going around a very, very long time ago, and it sent the whole universe into turmoil.
"No one knows who spread this theory, but for some reason, it instantly caught the interest of terrifying beings. This theory was related to Fantastic Insects naturally. The theory was quite simple,
"Someone presumed that; If a Fantastic Insect within the ranking of 11th to 99th can eat a Fantastic Insect within the ranking of 1st to 10th, it can evolve into an entirely new species of Fantastic Insect! Not only this mutated Fantastic Insect will the ability of both Insects, but also some mutated abilities.
"As for why this theory draws the attention of mighty figures, it was because of this exact final sentence, \'The new mutated fantastic insect will also break free from the Universal Limitation!\'"
Jacob\'s eyes widened and blurted, "Didn\'t this mean they can grow without any ridiculous restriction on them if they break free from restrictions?"
"You catch up quickly. But you only guess the half part, the true advantage of this limit break is those insects won\'t be able to break free from enslavement items or commit suicide.
"This is exactly the reason why those guys start searching for fantastic insects like mad dogs to confirm this theory. But how could they find the insects in the top ten just because they\'re looking for them?
"In the end, some of them managed to find the insects in 11th to 99th ranking, but the top ten were like ghosts as no one was able to get their hands on one. So, this became a mere idea and was slowly buried within history.
"However, you unknowingly found both pieces essential to confirm this theory. If those guys found out about it, they would make you their slave just to rub some luck off you. Hahahah…"
Jacob\'s expression sank as he didn\'t find this joke funny at all. He coldly scoffed, "But this is just a theory, and even if it\'s true, I won\'t try it because there are too many uncertainties. The first one is even if mutation went as theorized, the result would be random since there\'s no proof of someone being successful at it.
"Let\'s assume this theory is true, and everything goes as planned, but do you think I would be able to control that newly mutated insect?"
His eyes went colder, "Let\'s be real here, what if that newly mutated insect can break free from Brain Hunter\'s weakness of first poison? Won\'t I be the first one it comes after to take revenge?
"I know from personal experience that being an experiment subject, a mere slave of someone is not a feeling anyone would enjoy unless they had brain-damaged."
Although all this information is truly fascinating and broadened Jacob\'s horizons. But despite having the capital, he wasn\'t willing to take that gamble, especially when his life was involved in this gamble.
It might be another case; if he was much stronger than his current self, he might be willing to take that gamble since he could\'ve at least preserved his life if things went awry.
But he won\'t gamble with Brain Hunter at all because its abilities to control others are simply too terrifying, and who knows if he can find another Brain Hunter if something happens to this one.
He might not even find one in his whole life, so he was willing to wait until he was strong and found another fantastic insect to try this theory. Since he already had the essential ingredient in his hand, he could find the last one if he started looking.
Even Decker was able to get its hands-on Brain Hunter, which means these insects exist in low-ranking areas, and he can visit these places anytime.
"Are you sure? What if that newly mutated insect keeps that limitation since it was already in effect? It\'s very possible, you know." Immortika tried to tempt him.
However, Jacob was firm and sneered, "Stop testing me. I won\'t do it without absolute proof that it will keep that limitation. Besides, I have this feeling that capsule might be the only thing that keeps that corpse intact for so long, and if I break the seal carelessly, I won\'t even leave with a single part of that carcass!"
Hearing this answer, Immortika suddenly filled the entire page with its wanton \'Haha…\' before it wrote.
"…hahaha… I expect nothing less from my inheritor!"
