Chapter 205 Clone = Guinea Pig?
The place Ulthane found for Roy was very good. It was a remote valley, and it was basically deserted. Even his people did not come here.
But this space was where the makers lived. The scenery here was beautiful, and there were many kinds of animals, so when Roy put down the Red Sea Egg, it seemed to feel the ‘fertility’ here and could not wait to take root. This action shocked Roy. He knew very well that once the Red Sea Egg took root, the root system could extend for tens of kilometers, and it would be difficult to retrieve it then. Moreover, he was not sure if this thing would devour all the living creatures. Ulthane had kindly given Roy a place to store the Red Sea Egg, so it would not be good if the egg turned the environment here into an eerie place full of bones.
However, Roy did not know how to control this thing and did not know whether its growth habits could be restricted, so he did not know what to do.
Fortunately, Ulthane was experienced and knowledgeable. Seeing the situation of the Red Sea Egg, he realized something, so he had Roy wait here.
After about a few hours, Ulthane returned with a huge ‘flower pot’ on his shoulder! It was specially made for the Red Sea Egg, and when the pot was full of soil, he got Roy to put it in.
This way, the Red Sea Egg became like a potted plant. Its roots grew rapidly, but they could not extend too far.
“This is just a stupid method. It won’t work for long!” Ulthane said to Roy. “Think of a way to fertilize it…”
Roy nodded. He knew that the amount of nutrients the Red Sea Egg required were immense.
“Okay!” After Ulthane finished, he patted the dirt off his hands and asked Roy, “How long do you plan to stay in this space?”
“It won’t be long. I’ll have to show myself soon!” Roy said.
Ulthane sighed and shook his head. “I don’t know if what I’m doing is right or not. I hope you can hide it from Lilith and the Charred Council in the end. Otherwise, we makers will also be in trouble!”
“Don’t worry. As long as you give me some time, I’ll find a way to put this away as soon as possible!” Roy said.
Of course, he was confident that Daddy System was omnipotent. Although the Red Sea Egg could not enter the space like this, Roy could create some sort of vessel to hold it. But this way, he had to first understand the situation of the Red Sea Egg before he could draw and define it accordingly. Roy had not had much time to do this before, and now that he was in the makers’ space, he could focus on doing this.
Hearing Roy’s promise, Ulthane did not say anything else and turned to leave. After he left, Roy sat on the ground and was finally able to relax.
Before he smoothly placed the Red Sea Egg here, Roy’s nerves were tense all this time, and it was not until now that he finally relaxed.
When he had encountered Raphael, Roy had almost died, his soul nearly eliminated. It had been extremely dangerous, but he inexplicably survived in the end, making Roy feel very puzzled. He did not quite understand what had happened after the Red Sea Egg swallowed him. Although the system seemed to have released more than two thousand souls to supply the egg, this did not appear to be the reason why the Red Sea Egg did not digest him…
Looking at the Red Sea Egg, Roy found that it was still a little dispirited. He could only open the system interface, draw a snakeskin bag, and define it.
Jinkela: Fertilizer. Rich in trace elements and nutrients required by the Red Sea Egg. Weighs fifty kilograms.
Roy did not expect this bag of Jinkela fertilizer he made to cost about twenty souls when he exchanged for it. It seemed that it was not easy to replace the flesh and blood nutrients that the Red Sea Egg absorbed. This thing was not like a real plant that only needed soil…
After pouring the bag of Jinkela into the flower pot, the roots of the Red Sea Egg immediately wrapped around the fertilizer and absorbed it.
While the egg was having its meal, Roy opened the system space and released his clone.
Roy had had a headache about how to deal with this clone. But just last night, Roy suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution.
But Roy had to verify this method first…
After placing the clone, Roy opened the system interface and went to his clone’s ‘Copyi’ page.
The attributes of the clones were much lower than Roy’s main body, so the first thing Roy thought of when he opened the page was to see if he could modify or increase the attributes of the clone.
But after trying, Roy found that it was impossible. All the attributes of his clones were like Roy’s main body, and he could not erase or modify them.
Left with no choice, Roy could only use the old method. He drew a test tube on a blank page and began making potions.
Strength Potion: After consuming, increases the strength attribute by 1. Roy first tried to exchange for a bottle, only to find that this Strength Potion required almost fifteen standard units of souls.
Holding the potion, Roy came to the clone’s side, opened his mouth, and forced it down. After a while, Roy found that the strength value had indeed increased in the clone’s attribute page.
The strength attribute of the clone was now 75. If Roy wanted to increase it to 150, like the main body’s, it required 75×15, at least 1125 souls.
This was only an estimate because he did not know if the production requirements of the Strength Potion would increase after the strength attribute increased to a certain level.
In addition, there were also the speed and activity attributes. Roy could not tell how much it would cost to reach the same value as his main body’s…
What was certain was that it would take a lot of souls. Even though Roy was rich now and had the one million souls from Fury, he still felt a little pained. But in order to verify his thoughts, Roy could only bite the bullet.
Roy spent some time experimenting little by little. As expected, when the clone’s strength reached 100, the same Strength Potion only increased it by 0.5. In other words, after 100, he would need double the amount of souls for the Strength Potions to increase the strength attribute by 1.
Finally, Roy spent more than 1,800 souls to make his clone’s strength equal to his.
After finishing with the strength attribute, Roy began to make Speed Potions and Activity Potions, which he then used to increase his clone’s speed and activity attributes. Finally, it took about four thousand souls to get it done.
These three attributes alone cost Roy more than 5,800 souls, but compared to the magic energy attribute that he was about to increase, these souls were simply not worth mentioning!
This was because magic energy was magic power! How many Magic Energy Growth Potions did Roy consume to increase his magic power to 5,600? Now, he needed the same amount of Magic Power Potions to feed his clone!
One hundred thousand or two hundred thousand? Roy did not even remember. To be honest, if Fury had not given him a million souls, Roy would not have dared to play like this…
There was no need to redraw and redefine the Magic Power Potion. He could just use what he used in the past. After using up all the souls he stored, Roy could only tear open the soul contract that Fury gave him and take out the souls inside to continue. He poured a large number of potions into his clone, and Roy’s heart was bleeding as he watched the magic power of his clone increase bit by bit.
Damn it. If I can’t realize my thoughts, then these souls would have been wasted…This absolutely can’t happen. I have to succeed!
In the end, Roy was numb. He only knew to exchange for one bottle of Magic Power Potion after another. As he watched the number of souls rapidly plummet, he thought, Souls are bastards. I’ll make more if I don’t have them…
After more than two hours, Roy finally fed his clone until its magic power attribute was the same amount as his main body.
At this moment, it was finally the most crucial step!
Roy sighed, opened a blank system page, and began drawing This time, what he drew was a Devil Fruit!
Rumble-Rumble Fruit:
Definition: After consuming it, gain the power to control lightning; does not fear water; can elementalize.
Yes, what Roy created was a Rumble-Rumble Fruit, but this Devil Fruit was slightly different from the Dark-Dark Fruit that Roy had made before. Roy set an attribute for elementalization, so after exchanging for it, it consumed many more than the Dark-Dark Fruit had. Roy did not have many souls when he exchanged for the Dark-Dark Fruit, but he was quite rich now, so this Rumble-Rumble Fruit consumed a total of 1,200 souls.
With an additional elementalization definition, the consumption was twice as much as that of the Dark-Dark Fruit, but Roy, who had already spent nearly two hundred thousand souls, felt that it was quite cheap.
Once he entered the depths of whaling, from then on, his salary… his souls became a passerby! Roy found that he was walking further and further down the road of whaling…
Of course, the fruit was a fruit. Although it did not take many souls to materialize, the final strength depended on the person himself, how he put it to use as well as how much stamina and magic power he had to support his usage. It had been the same for the Dark-Dark Fruit.
After exchanging for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Roy stuffed it directly into his clone’s mouth and pushed his chin to make him chew, force-feeding this unpalatable Devil Fruit to his clone. Sure enough, clones had no rights. Roy was indeed a demon…
