As Ron was preparing to leave, the magic plate suddenly flickered, and a new transaction message caught his attention.
"Looking for: Consultation services from an experienced Bloodline Modifier.
Offering: ’Desert Hunter’ core extraordinary organ (complete eyeball), possibly with added tentacle suckers and corrosion liquid reservoir."
Ron’s steps halted immediately.
"Desert Hunter"—one of the bloodline samples he had been searching for!
He quickly returned to his seat and carefully read the details.
The poster called himself "Mist Walker" and provided not only the eyeball but also other key organs.
But the transaction conditions were rather unique—it wasn’t a simple material exchange but a search for professional knowledge.
"We need a professional with experience in Abyssal Bloodline Modulation to assist in solving a stability issue of a test subject.
The test subject originates from an Abyss 3rd Floor creature and is currently in a highly unstable state, capable of collapsing or going berserk at any moment.
If an effective stabilization solution can be provided, tentacle suckers and a corrosion liquid reservoir will be included as additional remuneration apart from the main transaction item."
Such exchanges of knowledge for materials are not uncommon in the wizard circle.
Professional knowledge is often more valuable than physical items and difficult to appraise.
Many powerful wizards would rather exchange rare materials for critical information than conduct simple magic stone transactions.
Ron almost without hesitation responded to this message:
"Possess experience in Abyssal Creature Bloodline Modulation, willing to provide consultation services.
Need to know more about the specifics of the test subject."
The response came quickly:
"Thank you for your attention.
The test subject is based on a creature from the Abyss 3rd Floor. After multiple bloodline enhancements, it has currently integrated traits from three different creatures from the ’Black Sand Wilderness.’
The problem is that although the test subject has gained the expected enhancement in abilities, it also exhibits severe instability—specific symptoms include continuous cracking and reformation of the skin, frequent rearrangement of internal organ positions, and an extremely chaotic spiritual state.
It is suspected that mutual repulsion between the bloodlines is the cause.
Do you have experience handling such problems?"
Ron’s eyes lit up slightly.
Through complex Bloodline Modulation conducted in the Black Mist School using Scorpion Organization and Bloodline Altar tissues, he had accumulated fairly rich practical experience.
He should be able to solve the problem posed by the other party.
"The issue of repulsion in multi-bloodline fusion is one of the most common challenges in bloodline modulation."
Ron replied:
"According to your description, the problem may lie in the order of fusion and improper choice of media.
If more details can be provided, including the specific bloodline types used, the order of fusion, the media substances used, and the basic state of the test subject, I can provide detailed suggestions."
The other party seemed quite satisfied, and the response became more detailed:
"The base creature is a desert lizard. It first integrated the visual system of a ’Gray-Eyed Scorpion,’ followed by the defensive traits of a ’Rock-Skinned Snake,’ and finally attempted to add the cluster consciousness capability of a ’Black Sand Ant.’
The media used was standard ’Gray Mist Essence’ combined with a small amount of ’Memory Crystal Powder.’
The problem arose after the last fusion, where the test subject exhibited obvious repulsion reactions, forming new carapaces on its surface, which cracked quickly, and internal organ positions reorganize every few hours."
Ron frowned slightly; it was indeed a tricky problem.
Using the "Extensive Knowledge" trait, he quickly integrated all related knowledge in his mind to analyze this challenge from different angles.
"The core of the problem lies in the cluster consciousness of the ’Black Sand Ant’ conflicting fundamentally with the traits of the previous two bloodlines."
He replied:
"The ’Gray-Eyed Scorpion’ and ’Rock-Skinned Snake’ are both strongly individual-consciousness beings, whereas the ’Black Sand Ant’ cluster consciousness is essentially a distributed thought model.
This contradiction places the test subject’s body and spirit in a constant state of internal conflict."
"Regarding a solution, I suggest the following:
Immediately employ a ’Consciousness Anchoring Agent’ to stabilize the test subject’s spiritual state, preventing further deterioration;
Introduce a fourth bloodline as a ’Harmonizing Agent,’ recommending a fragment of ’Gray Mist Lizard’ bloodline, which has extremely strong adaptability...;
Regarding media, the combination of ’Gray Mist Essence’ and ’Memory Crystal Powder’ is too rigid, suggesting adding 15% ’Resilient Fluid’...;
Through a special energy field circulation system, help the test subject gradually adapt and integrate..."
This series of suggestions clearly exceeded the original proposed solution by the other party.
After a moment of silence, the reply came slowly:
"Your level of analysis is quite brilliant.
The insight into the conflict between cluster and individual consciousness indeed hits the nail on the head.
I happen to have a small amount of ’Gray Mist Lizard’ blood sample and ’Resilient Fluid’... Would you be willing to conduct a face-to-face detailed discussion via isolation system?
I’m waiting in Special Exchange Room #3."
Ron felt slightly surprised; although the invitation was a bit abrupt, it was understandable.
When dealing with complex extraordinary issues, textual exchanges are often less effective than direct dialogue.
Moreover, after understanding the professional level of the other party, he was quite eager to engage in further communication.
Guided by the central system, Ron was led to Special Exchange Room #3.
It was a semi-transparent space enveloped by a special energy barrier, allowing limited visual interaction but completely isolating energy fluctuations and spiritual detection.
Across the barrier, a blurred figure had been waiting for a long time.
Behind the energy barrier, Ron could only see a tall male figure in a dark robe, with facial features completely obscured by a layer of special energy.
