The self-dormancy of the fungus owner sends a signal:
You're awesome, but I'm a coward. I'll lend you the fungus net to play with. Once you have it, you can't bully me anymore!
The reason why Li Ang knows so clearly is because he has learned from past mistakes.
In the later stages of the cooperation with Miranda, the microorganism owner was in this messed up state. I don't care what you do, but don't bother me.
If Miranda hadn't frequently touched the microbial owner's bottom line, the latter could have endured it forever.
Li Ang guessed that the fungus owner wanted to kill him in this way.
Unfortunately, after being infected with the black light virus, his life is almost immortal. As long as he does not actively seek death, he can live until the world is destroyed. The fungus owner's wishful thinking may be in vain.
I look forward to what it will look like when it wakes up hundreds of years later and sees itself still alive and kicking.
Thinking of this, Li Ang almost laughed out loud.
But the laughter ends with a new problem before us, how to deal with the relationship with the fungus owner.
Direct absorption and assimilation would definitely not work. After all, he was not an ungrateful white-eyed wolf. The fungus owner had helped him a lot in the past and he remembered it. Moreover, the relationship between the two parties was not so bad that it was life-and-death.
After careful consideration, Li Ang decided to implement a gentle policy first and impose certain restrictions on the fungus owners.
Then make corresponding arrangements based on the subsequent situation.
However, given the size of this ancient super fungus, it is definitely a huge project to limit it, and we need to consider the long term to find a more reasonable solution.
Putting this matter aside for the time being, Li Ang asked Miranda about the improvement of black light.
Miranda said: "The laboratory has been set up and ready to start."
"Then let's go and take me to visit your laboratory." Li Ang got up from the sofa and motioned for her to lead the way.
Afterwards, the two came to the storage room behind the villa.
What looks like an ordinary cabin on the outside is actually the size of a basketball court inside, somewhat similar to the Seamless Stretch Spell in Harry Potter.
The overall environment was modeled by Miranda after the biochemical tissue laboratory where she was employed.
The walls are brand new, the lights are bright, and all kinds of instruments and equipment are in order, with a coolness unique to science and technology.
It seems that after her daughter returned to her, Miranda abandoned her former gloomy and dark style.
At least that black feather sacrificial robe, Li Ang has never seen again.
Even at the conscious level, before entering the laboratory, Miranda still disinfected her whole body according to the procedures and put on a pure white lab coat. Naturally, Leon was not immune.
But he directly used black light to change his clothes.
This aroused Miranda's curiosity, and she said that she would cut a piece of fabric for research later.
"Now, lie down on it." She tightened her rubber gloves, made a crisp sound, and pointed to the medical examination bed next to her.
Li Ang is equivalent to the black light virus itself, so studying him is studying black light.
Only through thorough research can subsequent improvements be made.
"Then why did you bother for so long? Just let me come in naked!"
While complaining out of habit, he slowly crawled onto the bed and lay down.
At first, he was promised to be an experimental assistant, but now he has become the assistant being tested.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Miranda put on full protection and put on a gas mask, her voice a little muffled: "Next, I will collect your hair, blood and other tissues, please cooperate well."
Miranda, who entered the state of scientific research, lost the majesty of the mother goddess and the love of a mother, and became more cold and meticulous like a robot.
For some reason, Li Ang remembered the scene when he had his teeth pulled out in his previous life.
Suddenly I had palpitations, so I just acted like a guinea pig and was at her mercy the whole time.
The collection process went very smoothly. Miranda took the samples for testing and analysis, and specifically asked Li Ang not to disturb her. If she was bored, she could wander around, but she could not touch the equipment, let alone leave the laboratory.
When it comes to professional matters, you should listen to professionals.
Li Ang didn't even get off the bed, and lay flat on it and began to relax with his eyes closed.
About a few hours later, he heard Miranda's slightly urgent call: "Leon, come here and take a look!"
Get out of bed and go to the experimental room next to it.
Miranda's eyebrows were tightened and she was staring solemnly at the analysis report in front of her.
Hearing Li Ang come in, she turned around and asked, "How much do you know about your current physical condition?"
This question directly confused Li Ang: "I'm in good health? I'm bouncing around."
Miranda denied: "No, at least it's not as good as it looks."
She handed over a thick stack of reports: "You will know after you read it yourself."
Li Ang took it in his hand and looked through it carefully. He was a little confused by the many special terms in the report, but he probably understood the meaning.
To put it simply, there are two completely different types of cells in his body.
They are the black light virus and the power of blood.
The two are equally powerful and constantly attack each other, trying to occupy each other's territory.
The power of blood is weaker than the black light virus in all aspects. In order to prevent itself from being assimilated, it chose to squeeze the potential of Li Ang's body.
There is no visible impact in the short term, but once it lasts long enough, the harm will gradually become apparent.
It can range from hurting the source and losing future growth; at worst, it can cause the oil to run out and the lamp to dry up, and the body and soul to die.
"Do you understand?" Miranda looked at Li Ang's uncertain face sympathetically.
Unexpectedly, she really got it right.
Miranda had warned Leon a long time ago that he would die here sooner or later.
(Foreshadowing recycling, see Chapter 75 for details)
An unwilling curse that day finally became a reality.
But now Miranda's mood is completely different from that at that time. She kindly suggested: "There are currently two solutions. Completely eliminate one of the cells. I prefer the one with a smaller number."
She didn't know what the power of blood was, so she used quantity to distinguish the difference.
"The second option is to allow both parties to reach an evenly matched situation. It will no longer overdraw your body, and you will be safe."
"But in comparison, I recommend choosing the first option, which is safer and more secure."
Li Ang heard Miranda's words clearly and was thinking about them at the same time.
He thought about choosing the first option, but couldn't.
Can bloodline be removed at will? What if he died? Besides, he still had Bella and Daniela, whom he had embraced for the first time.
No one can guarantee that nothing will happen to them if their bloodline is gone.
So there appear to be two paths, but in fact only one is feasible.
"I choose the second option." Li Ang made a decision immediately.
Miranda seemed to have expected this outcome, and shook her head sadly: "I knew you had always been a gambler. The second option may be more profitable, but I'm not sure if it has any other hidden dangers."
"And I can still help you with the first one, but I can't help you with the second one."
Li Ang felt that he was wronged. It was not that he was a gambler, but that he had no choice.
"It's okay, I will figure it out myself."
"What about improving the virus?" Miranda asked, "Should we continue?"
Li Ang nodded: "Continue, the two things will not affect you, but it will be difficult for me to help you next time. If you still need an assistant, I can help you find another one."
Miranda expressed her understanding: "You only need to keep a sufficient amount of the virus, and leave the rest to me. As for an assistant, it doesn't matter if you have one. If you want someone to look after me, I don't have any objection."
"We'll talk about the assistant later." Li Ang stretched out his arm: "You collect virus samples first."
Miranda found tools and took away part of his skin, muscles and blood.
"It should be enough for the short term. I'll let you know if necessary."
"Okay." Li Ang agreed, said a brief farewell to the Mother Goddess, and exited the bacterial net directly.
He already had some ideas about how to implement the second option.
I vaguely remember that when I got the mountain of corpses and sea of blood in the world of "Prototype of Murder", the blood in my body showed unusual agitation, which proved that I was very interested in it.
Of course, swallowing the sword alive probably won't work, but there might be a way to improve bloodline in the copy it's connected to.
Li Ang immediately thought of an important character in "Elden's Ring".
Blood King-Monger!
In addition, the demigod himself is inextricably linked to the original owner of the sword.
So Li Ang's next plan is to go to the world of the Ring of Law to solve the hidden dangers of the body.
Just as he returned to reality, his clever little mind suddenly thought that he might be able to take this opportunity to solve the problem of the fire in the backyard.
He ignored talking to the puppet master and contacted Bella directly through the Hive Network.
"Something happened to me. Come pick me up at my old house."
In less than ten minutes, the frightened eldest lady appeared under the old house: "What's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Asking Donna with her eyes, she shook her head and said she didn't know either.
Li Ang said unhurriedly: "Go back to the castle first, and I'll talk to you on the way. Donna will come too, be careful not to disturb Ashley and the others."
Ashley was catching up on her sleep in the guest room on the second floor and Ada was out, so the whole thing went smoothly.
Until late in the evening, Ada, who had gone out for a walk, woke up Ashley, who was sleeping, and said to her: "Something may have happened in the valley. I found that everyone except us has gone to the castle."
Ashley, who was in a daze a second ago, suddenly woke up: "Where's Leon, where is he?"
"I don't know." Ada was also a little worried: "With that lady here, I can't enter the castle."
Ashley got out of bed immediately: "Let's go to the castle to find him!"
Seeing that she was confused, Aunt Wang wanted to calm her down and said, "That's your battlefield there. I strongly suggest you dress up and change into nice-looking clothes before going."
Ashley looked helpless: "How long have you still cared about this?"
But Ada's method was indeed effective. She was indeed not as flustered as before. She was optimistic that it had nothing to do with Li Ang, otherwise someone should have informed her long ago.
"What you said makes sense. I can't go in my pajamas. That would be too rude."
After packing up and changing clothes, the two of them set off immediately.
When we arrived at the castle, the sky was gloomy and dark, with large, dense dark clouds hovering over the valley. There was a constant whistling in our ears, as if a mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building.
Seeing this situation, Ashley's heart suddenly lifted again.
Ada could only comfort her while knocking on the door of the castle.
The door was opened by the little maid Elena. She said with a serious face: "Sorry, Madam has ordered that we will not accept outsiders at home for the time being. You two ladies, please go back."
