Chapter 231: Divination, Extraction, And Assimilation Test
Nie Yin took less than 15 seconds to skillfully strip one Experimental Grade Frog.
She casually squeezed hard on the abdomen and then pushed, her thumb tip instantly bursting with explosive deft force, like a shockwave from inside out, squeezing and propelling the organs in Frog’s abdominal cavity, erupting explosively from the anus.
The headless skinned Frog instantly turned into a spraying warrior, discarding intestines and stomach altogether, spraying everything clean in one go.
In Yuan Zhu’s eyes, this girl was like playing with some Miniature Firework Cannon, with a ‘bang!’, the organs exploded, all splattering out. Long and short, colorful, even with strings, quite pretty.
In the end, these organs still preserving strong vitality and activity formed an abstract and slightly wriggling dynamic picture on the ground. Amid the brutality, there was an inexplicable mysterious flavor.
Snake Snake suddenly exclaimed: “Boss, it’s Divination! This is a Divination Chart! The legendary Internal Organ Divination!”
Spicy Stick instantly pulled from the knowledge base a piece of knowledge collected on Du Ling Star. [Internal Organ Divination], requires one complete and living small animal, killed and dissected on the spot, predicting fortune or misfortune through the trajectory left by the tossed organs.
Nie Yin’s actions perfectly matched the standards of [Internal Organ Divination], even excessively excellent. This spraying warrior technique was innate, without a trace of artificiality.
However, the person involved turned a blind eye to it; she had sold herself to kill frogs in [Rain Courtyard. Frog School] for many years. From habit to numbness, then to skill approaching the Way. Skinning, decapitating, clearing organs with deft force—repeated dozens to hundreds of times daily, it had become instinct.
She killed frogs without needing to divert attention or invest any energy. As soon as Frog was in hand, even without a Surgical Knife, she could subconsciously complete the full operation with her nails.
By the time she came back to her senses, the live frogs stored in the basin had all perfectly transformed, lying neatly twitching in the tray beside her. Otherwise, where would she find time and energy to learn new knowledge? It was all squeezed out bit by bit like this.
Hands stained with blood, automatically completing the skinning and disassembly work; eyes exceptionally focused on the book spread before her, filled with Desire for knowledge.
Yuan Zhu: “Do you know Divination techniques?”
Nie Yin placed the Frog in her hand into a metal tray, setting it before the [Frog God Statue], then replied: “I’ve heard of them, but I don’t know them, and haven’t had the chance to access them. The Gemstone System has a Crystal Divination that requires high-purity crystal ore, but I don’t have the qualification to learn it.”
“Have you heard of [Internal Organ Divination] then?”
Nie Yin’s originally soft pointed ears immediately perked up, and she casually glanced at the ‘Internal Organ Chart’ sprayed on the ground, then shook her head: “No, do you know it?”
Though her tone was flat, Yuan Zhu captured her strong emotional fluctuations through [Anti-Law]. The topic of ‘Internal Organ Divination’ sparked her intense curiosity and interest, full of thirst for knowledge.
Yuan Zhu tempted: “I don’t, but I can find a way to get you the related knowledge materials. How about it, want to learn?”
“Yes!”
“Count it in the [Anti-Law Contract]. This isn’t just simply increasing the ‘debt limit’, but investing in your future life. Treat you as an Enterprise, with [Anti-Law] as the investment bank; this [Internal Organ Divination] will be invested in you as patented technology authorization. Accept?”
Nie Yin was silent for a moment, her sensory feelings toward Yuan Zhu instantly plummeting from ‘slight Affection Level’ to ‘Vigilance, Rejection, unhappy’.
Yuan Zhu didn’t care at all; momentary ‘sensory fluctuations’ were meaningless. As long as he got her to do some naughty things, Affection Level would rise again. Once he showed care, it would drop. If he lightly pressured or scolded her, the spoiled Affection Level would return to baseline.
So, Snake Snake thought constantly teasing, flirting, making senses wildly fluctuate up and down, would leave a deep impression. Simping was no good, warm Big Brother didn’t suit her; light strikes and repeated pulls left deeper impressions—this was effective PUA.
Yuan Zhu, usually nourished by rainbow farts, returned the favor to Snake Snake: “With my Snake Snake, it’s like Duke Huan getting Guan Zhong, a blind man gaining heavy pupils, dry bones growing dragon scales!”
Snake Snake (ω) shyly said: “No, no, it’s all because Boss you are wise enough! Little Frog Killer Girl, nailed it!”
On the other side, Nie Yin, though with personality flaws, had no issue with intelligence—even very high. After brief thought, she chose to refuse Yuan Zhu’s offer: “Never mind, I won’t learn it.”
Yuan Zhu nodded: “Okay, I’ll collect this Divination technique as much as possible and wait for the day you need it.”
The girl ignored Yuan Zhu and continued focusing on her work. She brought a pre-placed [X-shaped] cross to the [Frog God Statue], nimbly binding the four limbs of the skinned headless empty-bellied muscular Frog to the four points of the [X], posing as if enduring punishment.
She then kept tightening the ropes binding the four limbs, adjusting the angle, until the limbs were stretched straight, like Shang Yang knowing the horse’s strength.
Immediately after, she carefully took out a square Wooden Box from her backpack. Opening the lid, she first took out a hollow ring-shaped bracket like an ‘armillary sphere’, then a base like a bagua compass, followed by a Rod-shaped object engraved with mysterious Talismans…
At first, these messy items with strong [Taoist] characteristics baffled Yuan Zhu. But as Nie Yin skillfully assembled them, and connected one red and one blue familiar ‘Wires’, he finally understood.
This was clearly a simple hand-crank generator!
Because of the excessive ‘Ritual Implement-ization and Taoism-ization’, he hadn’t recognized it at first. Once assembled, it was clearly a conductor cutting magnetic induction lines, a hand-crank power generation device (Ritual Implement).
Soon, he spotted the nameplate on these classical devices: [Qingwei Brand. Hand-Crank Yin Thunder Generator]. Moreover, the surfaces or insides of various devices were engraved with complex Talisman inscriptions; only by superimposing these metaphysical symbols could the ‘cutting magnetic induction line motion’ smoothly produce the specified Yin Thunder.
Yuan Zhu, who had learned about the [Electricity Revolution Failure] in middle school textbooks, was seeing a ‘generator’ with his own eyes for the first time.
On today’s Du Ling Star, the Industrial System was mainly [Alchemy Elements, Elemental Steam Engine]. The unit Energy contained in ‘Alchemy Elements’ was no less than Earth’s electricity, even stronger.
The [Steam Totem] he saw in the Space Fault of [Star Realm Bank] was a ‘steam product’ with potential to ascend to godhood. In Warhammer 40k terms, it was the kind of [Machine Soul] that could manifest in the Warp and Ascend to Demonhood.
Yuan Zhu: “This is a generator?”
Nie Yin: “Yes, a power generation Ritual Implement bought uniformly by the school.”
Yuan Zhu watched the girl gently touch the wire to the ‘skinned punished Frog’s’ chicken meat, curiously asking: “The structure looks simple, not high-value, can it be privately replicated?”
Nie Yin rocked the round Handle to generate [Jade Pivot Yin Thunder], responding: “Someone tried, but failed. The core technology of the generator is the Talismans monopolized by different [Lightning Magic Groups]. Without these Talisman certifications, mere magnetic field cutting can’t generate power. Even 1:1 replication is useless.”
Yuan Zhu nodded, indicating understanding.
Just like his [Holy Seal], seen by others but impossible to imitate; too many things were involved behind it. Simply copying the Rune shapes was meaningless; the key was the spiritual charm.
As faint [Jade Pivot Yin Thunder (attribute current)] was continuously generated, stimulating the skinned Frog’s body through the Wire. Its suffering body, under the intangible gaze of the [Frog God Statue], began violently trembling and convulsing.
Soon, pale yellow liquid began secreting from between the Muscle gaps.
After accelerating the generator to a certain speed, Nie Yin suddenly let go, ensuring it continued working for a while under inertia.
At this point, she quickly picked up a Glass Syringe, assembled it, pressed the Needle against these tiny liquid beads, and slowly sucked and collected them into the Syringe.
Repeating this, adjusting Wire positions to stimulate different Muscle parts of Frog; then frantically hand-cranking to generate power, increasing electricity for torment and Stimulation; then picking up the Syringe to collect secretions.
Yuan Zhu: “What is this for?”
“Collecting raw materials for [Body Tempering Fluid], the essence of Power, which can be refined and extracted into real [Body Tempering Fluid]. This is also the fundamental reason the School bulk-purchases ‘Experimental Grade Frogs’.”
Senior Student recommended he farm Frogs to get rich because advanced ‘Pure Frogs’ were never short of buyers; all major Laboratories were scarce on them. So, if it could make money, wouldn’t someone have occupied the spot long ago? How could there still be openings?
The reason was that the [Frog School] and other [Power System. Pharmaceutical Companies] needed a steady stream of fresh Pure Frogs to extract [Body Tempering Fluid], with unlimited purchase volume!
According to Nie Yin, collecting [Body Tempering Fluid Ingredient] must be witnessed by the [Frog God Statue], with Death not exceeding 3 hours, high environmental requirements (Pollution Degree), and required skilled hands.
With so many conditions stacked, it really required a certain ‘technical level’ work. And it consumed Frogs heavily.
“Can these secretions be used directly as [Body Tempering Fluid]?”
Nie Yin shook her head: “Of course not, they still need a series of processes for purification, impurity removal, extraction. You can buy the most basic production process from the [Frog School].”
Yuan Zhu guessed that these secretions probably contained certain [hormones], linking with the [Frog God] to become the medium for ‘Frog System Pollution’.
But in his Perception, the ‘yellow liquid’ secreted by these Frog Muscles had very low Pollution concentration. It would take masses of Frogs (thousands? tens of thousands?) to refine one bottle in her hand?
And this required a ‘ruthless Frog Killer Girl’ like Nie Yin, honed in the Laboratory for years, a god Statue entwined with countless resentful souls, a [Qingwei Yin Thunder Generator], and a clean Laboratory maintained with masses of Holy Water and Holy Ash… The cost of [Body Tempering Fluid] was really not low.
Snake Snake: “I found frog farming doesn’t make you rich, it’s hard-earned money. We should steal the teacher hard, then contract the [raw material preparation] link ourselves. Even further, produce and sell [Body Tempering Fluid], no Price Difference for middlemen!”
Yuan Zhu: “Yeah, great minds think alike, that’s what I think too.”
So the two continued appreciating Nie Yin’s silky smooth, pleasing-to-the-eye ‘Frog Abuse Ritual’.
After about 10 minutes of continuous ‘lightning strike Frog’, this headless skinned empty-bellied muscular Frog was gradually squeezed dry of essence, slowly losing vitality.
At this time, Nie Yin removed the Wire from it, stopping the hand-crank generation phase.
Candle, not having seen enough, asked: “Why stop?”
“The basic [Body Tempering Fluid Ingredient] has been extracted. Continuing to squeeze would not only waste Energy but weaken the ‘Frog’s’ potential. Our goal is ‘adaptation experiment’, not ‘extraction experiment’.”
Yuan Zhu then remembered her purpose in stripping the Frog was to test the suitable concentration of [Body Tempering Fluid extract] for Orc injection; not to torment the little Frog to extract its ‘Body Tempering Fluid Ingredient’.
It was all because the little sister’s skills were too exquisite, that expressionless but inwardly joyful silky operation was indeed pleasing. Especially as an [Anti-Law Master], he could read the user’s emotions through [Anti-Law], sharing that heartfelt joy… impossible to stop.
“Then hurry and continue.”
Nie Yin ignored Yuan Zhu the nuisance, placed the accumulated less-than-3ml thin Syringe aside to preserve. Then she swapped a new Syringe, went to the suspended Half-blood Orc, found the artery, and quickly drew half a tube of blood already polluted by ‘Shadow’.
Returning to the temporary operating table, she brought the Frog from the X-frame before her, needle in hand. The Needle precisely pierced the chest into the heart, pushing the injection to pump all the Orc’s [Filthy Blood] into the heart chamber.
Yuan Zhu then noticed that in the earlier [Internal Organ Ejection Chart], liver, gallbladder, spleen, lungs, kidneys were all there, but missing a heart?
So, Frog’s heart was always kept in the body?
At this moment, Nie Yin’s tender white little hand gripped the skinned Frog, thumb pad on the heart position, then like squeezing a squeaky toy, rhythmically rapid successive extracardiac compressions.
Using Physical Body deft force to remotely squeeze the heart, helping the headless Frog start pumping blood, letting the Orc Filthy Blood quickly flow through limbs and body; as for internal bleeding, neck stump spurting blood, all shielded by ‘Holy Ash’.
“Technique! All technique!”
Yuan Zhu watched in awe, inwardly marveling at the Experience accumulated from years of frog killing, skill approaching the Way! Skill approaching the Way!
Nie Yin might lack channels for high-end knowledge and experiments, but she was exceptionally solid in basic practice. Senior Student picked a genius; basic operations maxed, and given her personality, not rejecting ‘Evil Forbidden experiments’, plus autistic gloomy temperament, hard to leak intel without socializing.
Yuan Zhu: “Can be cultivated into a trusted talent!”
Snake Snake: “PUA her hard!”
As ‘Orc Filthy Blood’ quickly flowed through every inch of the headless Frog’s body, Nie Yin slightly drove her fingers, directly manipulating the ‘Shadow Filthy Blood’ inside the Frog.
Though she signed [Anti-Law] just one night ago, last night she had already begun attempting and mastering basic control methods of [Shadow Pollution] through the [Anti-Law Contract].
At this moment, she could control ‘Shadow Orc Blood’ to erode and pollute the headless Frog.
Why [Rain Courtyard] lacked Experimental Grade Frogs and Mice was because their growth environments were sufficiently ‘clean and tidy’, adult Deviation extremely low, barely 0 Pollution state.
Such blank-slate experimental subjects had good Adaptation to various [Pollutions]. The current ‘skinned Frog’ was no exception, perfectly absorbing the Orc Blood, eroded by ‘Shadow Power’.
With a blank body gaining ‘Shadow Pollution Degree’ similar to the Orc, like similar triangles in geometry. Thus, the [Body Tempering Fluid] concentration data from the ‘Shadow Muscle Frog’ also suited this suspended Orc.
Yuan Zhu: “Got it, indeed very scientific!”
Nie Yin frowned, dissatisfied at being belittled: “It’s not science, this is [Frog School] knowledge!”
On Du Ling, such a supernatural planet, [science] was an unrealistic ‘ancient fantasy’. Ancient novels had plenty depicting ‘physical Earth scientific Worldview backgrounds’.
Thus in modern times, everyone held a disdainful attitude toward the fairy-tale-like unrealistic [scientific fantasy].
Soon, Nie Yin calculated the suitable [Body Tempering Fluid concentration] for the Orc through this Frog squeezed once, using the Frog to scrap, losing value but completing its mission.
Snake Snake: “Actually, it was just polluted, though dead, the body under Filthy Blood Stimulation still retains considerable Activity. Very suitable for third-round squeezing, burn it as a Holy Light Dry Battery.”
Reminded by Snake Snake, Yuan Zhu proactively stepped forward, taking the polluted Frog Nie Yin removed from the X-frame.
She had planned to casually toss it into the Garbage Bag to take back to school for disposal. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhu snatched it, held it high, and with a handful of Holy Light turned this ‘skinned Shadow Frog’ into the handle of a Star Wars lightsaber.
With a buzz!, the neck stump of the Frog holy sword sprayed a 30cm lightsaber blade; Yuan Zhu swung it a few times, using [Holy Seal. Sanctuary] for force field shaping.
And recalling the ‘Space Slash’ he performed at the bank back then, he successfully shaped the Holy Light into a thin ‘Spatial Barrier blade’, but after a few swings, it burned out.
So he squeezed hard, crumbling the desiccated Frog Mummy into powder, sprinkling it on the table: “Here, fresh [Holy Ash].”
Nie Yin stared strangely at the ‘Frog protein powder’, her voice oddly fluctuating, saying a touching: “Thank you!”
According to [Anti-Law] feedback, her emotional fluctuation was strong. Described by Snake Snake as surprised, and a tiny bit moved. ‘Tormenting’ little Frogs really boosts Affection Level!
