Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

When Helen was seen, she was browsing through various past records.

But despite combing through the texts, she still couldn't find too much relevant information, and thus frowned slightly with frustration.

"What's wrong?" Bai E asked directly upon meeting her, "Ran into some trouble?"

"Yes." Helen nodded with a trace of worry and cast a glance at Miss Aryan standing behind Bai E, giving a faint smile, "The information Miss Aryan brought back is incredibly insightful for the human modification technology we're currently utilizing. It could even provide absolute optimization for our modification plans. However, the issue is that the materials Miss Aryan brought back only include technical details, but very little about material science. I need more information in this area in order to discuss with the doctor whether we can recreate this technology."

"Have we finished examining the records from Blackwater City?"

"I've gone through nearly all of the records, but…haven't found any related information." Helen nodded again.

Bai E frowned slightly as well, inquiring about solutions, "How do we resolve this?"

"Two approaches…either go to other cities to look through their archives, or find tangible examples of Golden Age modification surgeries for me to reference. But…neither is easy."

Traveling to other cities wouldn't be a problem under the current conditions of the alliance, but among so many cities, who knows where useful records might be found?

As for finding tangible examples?

Back then, all Golden Age modified warriors who guarded the Root Server base had been completely wiped out. Their corpses weren't deliberately preserved, their internal structures were destroyed, especially the biochemical components which had entirely lost their vitality.

Even if someone were to dig them out and send them back, there wouldn't be much meaningful information to reference.

"Finding living examples for reference would be best…" Helen said softly, her gaze fixed upon Bai E as she murmured, "In the future, you might traverse the world in warfare. The relics left behind by the Golden Age are surely more than just this one. In other equally significant relics, there may still exist remains of Golden Age biochemical modified humans. If possible, perhaps you could try to capture a few living specimens…"

Bai E was slightly stunned, reaching out into the void and extracting something—

A soft material with both biological and artificial characteristics, its surface coated in a milky-white liquid. The entire structure was vibrant and pristine, as though freshly created from some machine.

"What about this?"

Back when the strongest ancient warrior possessed by the electronic demon was killed, these biochemical components had blasted out from their body.

These biochemical structures implanted into the body might be the core elements allowing those warriors from the Golden Age to survive to this day.

They ought to be of tremendous significance to Helen's research.

Seeing the object in Bai E's hands, Helen was initially stunned, then immediately overjoyed, "This is exactly it!"

It was completely identical to the manufactured products described in the information Aryan brought back, and even this fresh.

"Where did you get this?" Helen enthusiastically used Spiritual Energy to receive this precious sample without contact.

Before Bai E could answer, she continued speaking to herself, "With this sample, perhaps I can fully understand its mechanisms."

Amid the centuries of changes brought about by shifting environments, human physique might differ from the past in certain ways.

What suited humans during the Golden Age might not necessarily suit humans today, let alone now when we're layering Grey Iron City's human modification techniques and Blackwater City's genetic optimization technology onto this biochemical modification foundation.

Only by fully understanding its mechanisms can we ensure seamless usage in the future, with no room for errors—or at least any unforeseen issues would fall within expectations, allowing timely adjustments.

"Only 'perhaps'? Is there still some problem?" Bai E asked in confusion.

"The sample is too scarce…" Helen stared at the biochemical component suspended before her, like an art piece, "With only this single sample, I don't dare to destroy its structure for research. Progress will obviously be slow, and I can't guarantee success. If we had more…"

Before Helen could finish her sentence, she was overwhelmed by the sight of a large number of biochemical components suddenly appearing before her.

"What about now?"

"…" Helen swallowed hard, nodding with difficulty, "Now there's no problem."

Helen gazed excitedly at the multitude of biochemical components floating above her head, her face brimming with joy, "With these samples, I can confidently attempt anything!"

"Use them freely, if there aren't enough, there's more." Bai E waved his hand, magnanimous, "As long as it benefits your research, feel free to let me know any difficulties."

"Rest assured!" Helen tightened the gold-rimmed glasses on her nose, "Leave it to the doctor and me."

"Then I won't disturb you further." Bai E nodded, taking his leave with Aryan, who had remained silent beside him.

As they left the research institute, Aryan's face was lit with a radiant smile, "The lord is indeed impressive… Now that Helen has the corpses needed for her research, my effort in personally delivering the information wasn't in vain. If there's nothing else, my lord, I'll take my leave."

Aryan looked up at Bai E, her gaze filled with contentment—just meeting Bai E was her greatest wish.

From now on, even if she were to spend the rest of her life unseen in that Root Server base, this memory would remain the most beautiful one for a girl experiencing her first stirrings of romance.

"I will guard the base diligently for the lord, assisting you in conquering territories worldwide, and ensuring your martial success!"
