Following Miss Mingtu's footsteps deeper inside, the environment here gradually became quieter.
Although there were still many eccentric people and strange individuals in the soundproof rooms, fortunately, no sound could be heard.
As it went deeper, the rooms inside were no longer of a uniform specification, having changed into a variety of styles.
It seemed that the further inside one went, the higher the status of the researchers here.
Originally, it was thought that the customized laboratories were the pinnacle, but unexpectedly, at the end of the Research Department, there was actually a spatial gate.
The highest-level researchers all had separate spaces...
Of course, this perhaps indicated another matter: their research projects were dangerous enough to require spatial isolation.
First, entering the special room prepared for storing the Great Snake's soul, a researcher was already waiting there with the specialized storage equipment.
Although the entire room looked extremely professional and high-end, the storage equipment looked particularly out of place.
After all, the spherical object with a white base, red lid, and a round button at the seam was probably called a poké ball.
Of course, industrial design inevitably has similarities, and Jean Stardust also suppressed the urge to complain.
At the researcher's request, the Great Snake's soul was released.
Looking closely now, this snake's soul was truly massive; the room with a ceiling height of over ten meters was packed full.
The researcher was startled, but then became excited, and while the Great Snake's soul had not yet regained consciousness, decisively threw the ball out.
The ball bounced on the ground, opened, sprayed red light to envelop the entire soul of the Great Snake, then retracted it into the ball, shook for a moment, and stopped.
Jean Stardust suppressed the urge to complain throughout the whole process, until the researcher pulled a baseball cap from who knows where, put it on, specifically turned the brim to the back, picked up the ball, and shouted:
"Abyssal Rock King Snake, GETDA☆ZE!"
At this point, Jean Stardust finally just revealed a polite smile; so-called "extreme anger" was probably like this, or more accurately, "extreme desire to complain," where after reaching the peak of the urge to complain, one simply didn't want to say anything at all.
Next, the researcher placed the poké ball on a machine and began to analyze its value.
Various pieces of information from its soul were continuously revealed.
Eventually, a detailed table was formed and handed to Miss Mingtu.
Looking at the content, Miss Mingtu revealed an expected smile, and then, without telling Jean Stardust the result directly, led Jean Stardust to another space.
This place was much larger than the previous space; after all, the Great Snake's body was lying right here.
A large number of personnel were disassembling it; scales were stacked neatly in piles, muscles and skin were separated, and a pool as large as a lake was filled with drained blood. The whole scene was orderly, giving the feeling of a modern slaughterhouse.
Humphrey, who was directing the work, saw Jean Stardust and Miss Mingtu and scurried over: "Lord Jean Stardust, Lady Mingtu, welcome, welcome, meow."
"Has the estimated output summary come out yet?" Miss Mingtu didn't pay attention to Humphrey's enthusiasm but went straight to the point.
"It has come out, but I don't know what Lord Jean Stardust needs, meow."
"I want to make four sets of equipment for FrostNova and the others; there shouldn't be any other requirements for the rest."
"In that case, I recommend converting everything directly into points, meow. Although there are corresponding handling fees for others to exchange materials, Lord Jean Stardust, you are naturally an exception. Additionally, you can choose services like customization and commissioned research; it is absolutely great value for money, meow."
Even though it was just a civil servant cat, its sales pitch was quite professional, not forgetting to mention value-added services while telling you about the discount.
However, Jean Stardust did indeed have many things that needed commissioned research; after all, its own team had not been formed, nor did it have any talent in the field of research.
"This snake can ultimately be exchanged for about 500,000 points in total." Miss Mingtu calculated the overall value based on the table handed over by Humphrey.
"So much!" Jean Stardust was somewhat surprised; this snake could actually be worth 50 Muzans!
Miss Mingtu nodded at Jean Stardust, then handed a signed payment voucher to Humphrey, instructing him to credit the specific amount calculated above to Jean Stardust's account.
This also allowed Jean Stardust's account in the Underworld to turn from negative to positive in one go, even achieving a small-scale fortune.
"There is one more thing; please come with me."
Following Miss Mingtu's footsteps, passing through space again, this time arriving at an area full of magma. In the middle, a fiery red soul was floating in a ball of flames, and beside it was a body sealed in crystal.
Jean Stardust was all too familiar with this body, and from this, it could be inferred that Jean Stardust should be equally familiar with the red soul in front:
"Talulah?"
"That's right, the one here is indeed that Talulah. In order to clear the pollution originating from the Evil God on her, she is undergoing burning by special flames."
"Burning a soul is too scary..." The soul itself cannot be touched by normal matter, so it usually looks like it has no sensation, but in fact, the soul is a very sensitive existence. Jean Stardust merely touching its own soul with mental energy would produce an unbearable feeling; the taste of being burned by fire must be even more torturous.
"This is also something that cannot be helped. Removing the pollution is relatively simple, but repairing the distortion is very difficult. Fortunately, besides her racial talent, her soul itself also possesses a high degree of affinity for the fire element, so this method of burning with flames is actually the least painful one. Especially as the soul's fire attribute strengthens, the pain is gradually weakening, and in a few more days, she won't feel any pain."
"That's not bad; at least there's something to look forward to."
"But there is a problem here. With the changes in the soul itself, the body will eventually become mismatched, making it impossible to achieve resurrection," Miss Mingtu continued.
"Hmm." Jean Stardust waited for Miss Mingtu to continue; after all, being called over must mean there was already a solution.
"At this time, it is necessary to perform the same modification on her body. It just so happens that there is currently a project looking for an initial recipient, and her situation fits perfectly. However, the owner of both the soul and the body is Lord Jean Stardust, so your consent is required."
"What is the modification project?"
"Although the official name has not yet been determined, its core originates from Area No. 66, a brand-new reincarnation system created by modifying the Demon Reincarnation System."
