"I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if they’ve already mastered this technology. If they really have, the people in that research institute might be in danger."
Thinking of something, Feng Yuan said with a strange expression. Unlike natural products, this is obviously an artificial creation, which can bring much more benefits than uncontrollable natural products.
Especially when this thing can optimize and change the effects of ultimate moves, akin to the Crystal Domain, it’s even more so.
"It shouldn’t be, according to the explanation, this technology has already been archived in the databases of the Alliance and the Divine Beast Hall. Even if they take action against them, others can restore this technology from the database."
"However, this thing seems to have no visible boundaries for now. At least according to the public documents, there are more types of Skill Jades that can be made with this technology, not just the Over-Devouring one."
Veronia thought of something and said, even though the only finished product now is the Over-Devouring Skill Jade, there’s more to this thing than just one.
Hearing this, Feng Yuan curiously opened his phone. He has certain access to the data stored in the Alliance and Divine Beast Hall, with higher access for the Divine Beast Hall since it includes compensation and inducement given to him.
As expected, there wasn’t sufficient access for the Alliance’s database, while unexpectedly, the Divine Beast Hall side showed a special authorization prompt to display the directory to Feng Yuan.
As for detailed information? According to the description, for security reasons, it can only be viewed offline at specific locations.
Feng Yuan was not surprised by this. It would be strange if such obviously important data could be viewed via the internet. Although Divine Beasts like Agunas can obtain the information through other means, in normal circumstances, isolating data networks and preserving it in special physical files is the most effective way to prevent information from being obtained through special methods.
Before data-based Spirit Beasts were born, people already used Spirit Beasts to steal relevant data through data networks, let alone after the birth of data-based Spirit Beasts, which has only increased.
Initially, all data-based Spirit Beasts were controlled by the authorities, making such events rare. However, over time, the unavoidable spread of data-based Spirit Beasts to the general populace meant they were used for more than just combat.
Therefore, currently, data-based Spirit Beasts are widely used in data networks to maintain information security.
Aside from this, there are still possibilities like directly spying on information via prophecy and hyperspace vision. To counter these, special paper is the first choice. Paper that can isolate the power of Spirit Beasts can effectively prevent the information it carries from being remotely stolen.
Feng Yuan wasn’t surprised by the method of preserving the production method of the Skill Jade using such paper; this thing can be said to have significant impact.
Compared to naturally occurring items, one major feature of this creation is its controllability, allowing it to be produced as needed.
Simply the Over-Devouring Skill Jade is already very powerful. Now, more Skill Jades can be developed for different ultimate moves. Feng Yuan believes its applicability is no less than Domain Crystals.
Considering that Domain Crystals have only existed for a few months yet have developed to where almost every Beastmaster has at least one, once this creation proliferates, it might become an astonishing treasure.
"I wonder how rare the materials for this thing are."
Thinking of those tools made with special rare materials, Feng Yuan muttered. For mass production, one not only needs the technology but also sufficiently cheap raw materials, otherwise...
"I don’t know about that, maybe the Little Crocodile knows what’s up."
Veronia said unconcernedly, the Skill Jade obviously has no use for Divine Beasts, it being an artificial creation, so there’s no interest in it, as it is useless to them.
"Hm, there’s not enough time now. Otherwise, I’d have gone to see if I can get a suitable Skill Jade. But how did they figure out how to make Skill Jades in the first place?"
After reading the directory, Feng Yuan stroked his chin and muttered. Unlike technological creations, Skill Jades are enhancements for specific ultimate moves and seem more akin to game artifacts.
It’s not that Feng Yuan looks down on modern technology, but the Skill Jades appear to deviate significantly from the path of modern technological development. They don’t seem heavily reliant on materials; although the directory doesn’t reveal much information, Feng Yuan noticed many Rune Science terms in it.
This world once had a period of magical civilization, and Rune Science is considered the biggest legacy and contribution of magical civilization.
However, due to the gap in civilization, integrating Rune Science of the magical civilization with modern technology is difficult; at least, that’s the case for Rune Science itself.
In conventional use, Rune Science is auxiliary, typically used for reinforcement and similar purposes. However, seeing a lot of information related to Rune Science in the directory gives Feng Yuan reason to believe that these Skill Jades are made with Rune Science as the core.
It’s just that, because Rune Science belongs to an obsolete magical civilization, its limitations were already fixed. How on earth... could there have been additional rules related to Runes?
Feng Yuan suddenly thought of this possibility. It’s the only way this situation could arise.
"So many connections."
Rubbing his forehead, Feng Yuan decided not to delve into what’s behind this. Delving into it might unearth a mess of unrelated junk, and he didn’t want to burden himself with that.
"Aren’t you planning to check it out?"
Veronia looked at Feng Yuan curiously. This guy didn’t intend to get his hands on something new immediately? Rolling his eyes, Feng Yuan replied irritably.
"There’s only a few days left before the official competition. That thing clearly can’t become a finished product at this moment. And this creation relates to Rune Science. Don’t you suspect there might be issues with how Rune Science suddenly became capable of such extravagant things?"
"Afraid of trouble? I suppose so."
Veronia chuckled and glanced at Xiao Ji, noting how Xiao Ji, with widened eyes, was staring at herself. Feng Yuan, covering his forehead, snapped.
"Why are you making a fuss? Just eat your food. It’s not a necessity for you, at least for now."
Though the Treasure Beads can change the shape and effects of ultimate moves, they occupy an equipment slot. Whether Spirit Beast or Divine Beast, they can only fuse one tool in their body at a time.
Currently, Xiao Ji and the others are using this method to carry Domain Crystals. If they want to use the Treasure Beads, how to carry the Domain Crystals becomes a problem enough to trouble Feng Yuan, not to mention Xiao Ji also has a Spirit Beast Decoration. Wait, doesn’t the Spirit Beast Decoration occupy a traditional equipment slot?
Remembering something, Feng Yuan couldn’t help being a bit surprised, though it might be a special case given that Spirit Beast Decorations are more akin to costumes and have no real effect on the Spirit Beast’s power.
"Alright, let’s talk after the big competition is over. Besides, I sense that thing isn’t so simple. At least for now, those who have mastered this technology are really dangerous."
Seeing that Xiao Ji hadn’t given up, Feng Yuan could only say helplessly, Veronia looked at Feng Yuan oddly and said.
"Dangerous? Why? Isn’t this technology already public?"
"Public to the Alliance and Divine Beast Hall. Whether other countries can acquire this technology is another matter. For illegal organizations, learning it is less practical than simply kidnapping those who possess the knowledge."
Shrugging, Feng Yuan explained. Although illegal organizations have their research, like the G Organization focusing on immortality, they surely lack understanding of Rune Science, as it can’t achieve immortality.
The situation is similar for other illegal organizations. The low ceiling of Rune Science means few troublemakers are likely to have research in that area.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the Alliance certifying this technology’s real existence, Feng Yuan would be somewhat skeptical if this wasn’t a scam.
After all, the technological breakthrough seems too much of a leap, going from having no conventional equipment to altering ultimate move effects and power, akin to a cheat code.
"Do you think the technology is complex?"
"Not really. If it can be made public, it’s basically ready for mass production. But the difficulty... non-professionals probably wouldn’t understand it anyway."
Feng Yuan thought and said, unlike illegal organizations, long-lasting peace allows for all sorts of projects. Finding people with research in Rune Science isn’t all that difficult.
Of course, illegal organizations aren’t counted; they follow practical research due to being wanted. They have no interest in useless Rune Science, so there’s likely no research on it among them.
But what if there’s a demand for it now?
Just kidnap someone, since they’re already wanted; they wouldn’t mind adding one more crime.
