Chapter 478: Chapter 478 – Inferior Sap




Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The description of the mutation’s effects was already very detailed . The question was how large was the chance of mutation and how beneficial were the mutations?

Wei Xiao Bei hesitated for a moment . It would be good if the Life Altar was awake now . It could simply cultivate a creature and he would be able to try the effects of the sap .

If he wanted to obtain more details on the effects of the sap now, he would have to try it himself .

In all honesty, being a guinea pig was not a good thing .

Of course, it was true that one of the ancestors of the Chinese people, Shennong had tasted hundreds of herbs to learn their effects . In doing so, he had founded Chinese medicine, but it was said that Shennong had died from a poison herb in the end .

The main reason he was hesitating was that he was worried he would mutate into something inhuman after eating the sap .

Though he was very much different from an ordinary human, at least he still looked like a human on the outside .

Wei Xiao Bei looked around him . Andre and Babe, who were busy drilling away at the branch, felt a chill run down their backs .

Fortunately, he gave up on the plan to have them try the sap . After all, they didn’t have [Precise Calculation] and other similar skills . They would have a hard time determining the specific effects of the sap .

He extended his tongue and licked the spearhead . A faintly sweet taste spread through his mouth .

Then, as he activated [Deductive Reasoning] and the effect of [Precise Calculation], he started to analyze the Inferior World Tree Sap .

This ability was mostly useless back when Wei Xiao Bei did not have a lot of knowledge . However, the knowledge in his mind could easily compare to that of several doctorate holders now .

In particular, he had been spending a lot of his time recently studying biology . This came in useful when his ability was analyzing the World Tree’s sap .

The first analysis was that the Inferior World Tree Sap had a fairly high sugar content . It was close to beetroot and other similar sugar crops .

There were many types of sugar in the sap . Apart from the eight different fructose found in the real world, there were thirty-one other types of sugars that did not exist in the real world . Twelve of these were fructose, while nineteen were polysaccharides .

Also, there were seven amino acids that didn’t exist in the real world, along with one hundred and seventy-eight special active substances that even Xiao Bei didn’t know how to categorize .

Of course, a supernatural plant like the World Tree couldn’t possibly be analyzed entirely with the scientific knowledge of the real world .

Wei Xiao Bei then analyzed the life force replenished by the sap . Its effect was slightly lower than the Secondary Spring Water of Youth and did not possess the effect of extending lifespans .

Meanwhile, the mutation effect was extremely weak . He could feel a mysterious force attempting to disrupt his genetic sequence after he consumed the sap . Still, it failed to cause a mutation as it was simply too weak of a force .

Xiao Bei did some estimations . A mutation force this weak couldn’t even affect an ordinary human, let alone him .

That said, there seemed to be a lot of this stuff .

Once he picked the spear out of the branch, plenty of sap surged out of the hole he had drilled . Of course, the hole was quickly healing as well .

He stopped analyzing and instead started to collect this sap that had welled up .

This stuff might not compare to the Secondaryy Spring Water of Youth, but it was still a rare treasure . Disregarding all its other applications, he could simply dilute it with water and it would be an excellent and nutritious medicine in the real world .

He could even use it on his subordinates . After all, those guys were not too powerful . Their regenerative ability was also far too weak .

In all honesty, even if they could evolve to 3-Star, they might not have as powerful of a regenerative ability as Wei Xiao Bei .

He had a pretty good understanding of the situation now .

Not all humans and monsters would gain new abilities every time their sub-attributes were increased by 20 points .

The majority of monsters couldn’t do so .

This was perhaps the advantage of owning a status panel .

He would most assuredly obtain a new ability for every 20 points his sub-attributes were increased .

The hole finally healed completely after he had collected 3700 milliliters of sap .

He didn’t continue drilling in this hole . This would make it a lot faster to find sap again, but that was not what he wanted to do . His [Response Search] indicated that there wasn’t too much sap in this branch of the World Tree .

This small branch might have a total of thirty thousand milliliters of sap at best . Wei Xiao Bei had already collected over ten percent of its sap . If he continued to collect the sap, it was very likely to cause problems for the branch .

To avoid creating more problems, he switched to a new place and continued drilling .

The small branch from earlier was only ten meters in diameter . The new branch he had chosen was much larger .

Its fifty-meter diameter made it look like a small mountain that ran right before Wei Xiao Bei and the rest .

The larger the branch, the thicker the bark . This was an indisputable truth .

A fifty-meter thick branch was not too bad . After wasting twelve hours, he finally pierced through the bark with his three-meter long Great Spear .

The sap he obtained this time was better than the Inferior World Tree Sap from before .

It was still Inferior Sap, but its quality had risen from normal to high .

After tasting the sap, Wei Xiao Bei concluded that it was indeed much stronger than the sap from before .

He had not managed to collect as much sap this time . As the bark was too thick, he only managed to collect a liter of sap, before the hole healed .

He switched to a new location again .

There was no doubt that his greatest interest now was whether there was a better sap to be found on the World Tree .

The tree branch he chose this time was over three hundred meters in diameter . Its location was no longer at the canopy, but over ten kilometers beneath it .

Thus, Wei Xiao Bei started drilling .

This one drilling process took him three days and nights .

It wasn’t until emerald sap started seeping out of the hole that he understood why they said the job of an oil worker was difficult .

Living out in rural lands, working an extremely boring job with no entertainment to be had . Any other modern person would not be able to tolerate such a lifestyle .

Name: Excellent World Tree Sap (High-Quality)

Description: This item contains a small amount of the essence inside the World Tree’s branch . Its quality is ordinary .

Effect 1: Life Force . Consume this item and obtain the replenishment of the World Tree’s life force, accelerating the rate of healing .

Effect 2: Mutation . As the World Tree is the mother of a world and creator of many races, consuming this item will provide a chance of race mutation . The effect is random and unpredictable .

The sap that had appeared this time was finally Excellent World Tree Sap . Though it was still only a high-quality item, Wei Xiao Bei immediately knew upon tasting it that this sap was much better than the previous two . It had undergone a massive improvement .

If the first Inferior Sap only had ten percent of the Secondary Spring Water’s life force effect, then the high-quality Inferior Sap had fifteen percent . This Excellent Sap, on the other hand, had twenty percent of the Spring Water’s effect .

Moreover, its mutation effect was much more obvious now . Though it could not affect his genetic sequence, it would affect ordinary creatures .

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t hold back now . He collected two hundred and thirty milliliters before the hole healed . He then continued drilling upon the same hole .

After drilling three times, he collected a total of seven hundred and fifty milliliters of sap .

Of course, even if he was drilling in the same hole, it still took a lot of his time .

It was an entire day by the time he was done .

It simply took too much time to drill a hole in the World Tree’s branch .

In all honesty, Wei Xiao Bei had always felt a mysterious sense of frustration all this time he had been traveling in the World Tree . After attempting to sort out his emotions several times, he realized that this frustration came from his concern for reality . It was a mysterious and inexplicable worry as if something bad was about to happen in the real world .

As such, he could not let his plan of staying in the World Tree for two entire months come to fruition .

Thus, he chose a thicker branch below the World Tree’s canopy as the location for his last drilling operation .

This branch was several times thicker than the one the Valkyrie had cut off . Simply put, the branches that Wei Xiao Bei had been drilling into were all branches that had sprouted from this one .

Of course, the best sap of the World Tree had to be within the tree trunk . However, just one look at the diameter of the trunk and he had no intention of attempting to dig through it soon .

Even making a hole in the bark of the World Tree would take as much time as one would need to dig to the heart of Earth with an iron shovel .

Who knows how much time would have passed in reality if he attempted to dig out the sap in the trunk .

Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t even pierce through the bark of this branch when he stabbed with his spear .

He couldn’t even drill through the bark of this branch, let alone the trunk .

The bark of this branch was over ten meters thick . Moreover, it was constantly healing . He almost failed to retrieve his spear from the bark .

There will always be a solution in the future .

Wei Xiao Bei sighed and gave up on the idea entirely .

Next, he had to consider his preparation for returning to the real world .

Firstly, how could Kashmir follow him back to reality?

If there was anything you didn’t know in the real world, you simply asked Mr . Baidu .

In the Dust World, he could only summon the clone of Ge Da Tian sleeping within him .

Fortunately, the process of summoning Ge Da Tian’s clone wasn’t too complex .

After yelling in his mind for a bit, a cloud of white smoke emerged from his hand and landed, turning into Ge Da Tian’s clone .

It couldn’t be helped . According to Ge Da Tian, ever since he was promoted, he gained the ability to create clones .

Of course, these clones were all weak . However, they all had their consciousness and could help Ge Da Tian accomplish many things .

“Why did you summon this god? Don’t you know that this god has to exhaust power every time he comes out?”
