Infinite Fighting

Chapter 67: Chapter 59: Blood of Dela

But in the game, Robby’s quest line offered players a substantial overall enhancement.

Zhang Ji’s spiritual pressure bore down on Robby, making his body tremble uncontrollably.

Although Robby had made accomplishments in scientific research, he had never dabbled in the field of combat.

So his physique was quite ordinary.

At least, at this stage, he was still an ordinary person.

According to Zhang Ji’s knowledge, Robby only gained a modicum of combat strength after he developed the Alchemy Technology to transplant the Sun God’s bloodline by experimenting on players.

"The blood of Dela!" Robby said. "War God Dela of Guning Country!"

Dela was the King who founded Guning Country over three thousand years ago.

He was also known as the War God and the Sun God.

A genuine, A-rank fighter.

His bloodline, known as the Blood of the Sun, circulated exclusively within the royal family of Guning Country.

To consolidate their rule, the royal family of Guning Country forbade the Blood of the Sun from leaving their lineage. They were also unwilling to see the bloodline’s concentration diluted. For thousands of years, they had practiced internal marriage to pass down the power of their blood.

If it was ever discovered that a royal had paired with a commoner and allowed the bloodline to escape, they would dispatch imperial guards to hunt them down until they were dead.

After a player received the bloodline transplant, their reputation with the Guning Country faction would instantly drop by twenty points the moment they set foot in its territory, no questions asked.

As for the side effects of inbreeding?

It was unknown whether they had found a way to solve the problem or if it simply never existed for them. In any case, they had continued this tradition for over three thousand years.

His theory confirmed, Zhang Ji took half a step back and released his spiritual pressure. Robby began to gasp for air.

"I’m very curious," Zhang Ji said, feigning ignorance. "How does a doctor from a roadside clinic get his hands on the blood of Guning Country’s War God?"

"Some things from the past..." Robby said. "That’s not important, is it? From the looks of it, you’ve heard of Dela’s name, too!"

"I’ve studied a bit of world history. Of course I know someone so famous," Zhang Ji said with a nod. "Do you mind if I see the goods?"

"If it’s real, will you cooperate with my experiment? Don’t worry, if the experiment is a success, I’ll only need a small sample of your blood after the transplant is complete!" Robby said to Zhang Ji.

He had revealed his objective!

Even now, with the upper hand completely in Zhang Ji’s grasp—to the point where Zhang Ji could take his life at any moment—he was still thinking about completing his experiment.

He had grown up hearing the stories of Dela, and while many people dismissed them as fiction, his research proved they were anything but.

Deep down, he had always wanted to witness such great power for himself.

This was his dream, his obsession!

He wanted to once again see a War God emerge who could subjugate a nation with his power alone!

"Let me see the goods first," Zhang Ji said.

"This way," Robby said.

Robby then led Zhang Ji to his sample storeroom.

Inside were numerous materials, all various biological bloodlines Robby had collected.

But none of that was important.

Robby went to the very back, opened a safe, and took out another box from within.

He opened the box to reveal several hundred test tubes, each the size of an index finger.

Each contained a varying amount of crimson-gold blood.

Robby carefully removed one of the test tubes. As soon as he uncorked it, the blood inside began to react, boiling over as the ambient temperature shot up, quickly becoming hot enough to feel stifling.

"See? This is the real deal," Robby said, quickly sealing the tube. "The blood of Dela. It contains pure Sun God Power. With a successful transplant, you can wield this power too!"

A look of reminiscence appeared in Zhang Ji’s eyes.

This was indeed just like in the game.

However, in the game, when players met Robby, most of these test tubes were already gone, with only a single one left.

Perhaps the game’s writers had done it to create a sense of destiny.

But now, there were at least two hundred vials of Dela’s blood here.

By a rough estimate, it would be no problem to create several dozen doses of the bloodline potion.

After all, the bloodline potion itself was merely a catalyst; it didn’t require much blood.

As long as the transplant was successful, that tiny spark would spread rapidly, gradually transforming the host until their entire bloodline was altered.

"Do you have a way to get the stabilizer?" Zhang Ji asked.

The stabilizer was essential. Not even players could withstand the bloodline potion made from Dela’s blood without it.

This was the original bloodline, the power of an A-rank fighter, not a version diluted countless times through generations of descendants.

Without the stabilizer, even players would be burned to death and forced to restart the quest.

"Yes, I can get the ingredients for the stabilizer, it just costs a lot of money," Robby said. "One dose costs thirty million New Francs!"

"A single flower sells for thirty million New Francs?" Zhang Ji’s eyes widened.

"You know about it?" Robby looked surprised for a second before continuing, as if to himself. "There’s no other way. The royal family of Color Cluster Country guards the Divine Flower very closely. I only got this connection by meeting someone from a minor branch of the royal family at a reception. Normally, it’s impossible to obtain."

The Divine Flower was a medicinal plant used by the bloodline-wielding fighters of Color Cluster Country to purify their own blood.

It also served to temper the bloodline’s power, preventing those fighters from dying due to the side effects of their awakening.

In the version of the game Zhang Ji played, Robby had players steal the Divine Flower from the royal medicinal fields.

They even had to fight a B-rank elephant to get just three flowers.

"Alright. So when can you buy it?" Zhang Ji asked.

"I’m a little short on funds right now..." Robby said awkwardly.

"How much do you have?" Zhang Ji asked, giving Robby a strange look.

"Five hundred thousand New Francs..." Robby mumbled in embarrassment, then quickly tried to explain himself. "You’re in the business, so you should know how expensive it is to get this equipment in a new place, how much trouble it is to set up experiments. Alchemy research burns through money. It was hard enough for me to save up this much..."

"That’s a huge shortfall. How long would it take you to earn enough money to finish the experiment?" Zhang Ji shook his head. "Forget it. I’ll just find some random leg to use for now."

"Don’t be hasty! I have a way!" Robby said. "You’re a Grandmaster, so you must be strong enough! You should go fight in the arena! Dean’s gang built an underground fight club, and they stream it online for betting. A lot of rich people go there to throw their money around. The revenue for each event is in the hundreds of millions. If you win four matches in a row, the odds will be more than enough. Then you just have to throw one match, and we’ll have enough money to buy the flower, with plenty to spare!"

"And the risks?" Zhang Ji asked.

"Basically none. The fighters there are professional Sixth or Seventh Rank at best. Their skills are average. Besides, if you win too many, the organizers will pay you to throw a match. We’ll know in advance, bet on you to lose, and make money right alongside the organizers. The only real risk is that you can’t make the act too obvious, or it’ll be embarrassing for everyone," Robby explained.

Zhang Ji didn’t sense any lies from Robby. After a moment of thought, he nodded. "I’ll go check it out later."
