Chapter 629: Chapter 217: Isolating the Curse, Massive Trait Harvest! "Silk pattern..."
He suddenly realized, "Could it be that the patterns on the two corpses before were this kind of silk pattern?"
Although the current progress of characteristic collection is insufficient, making deep analysis or extraction of skills and items impossible, just looking at the textual information provided on the panel already allows the deduction of several conclusions.
The character "Room" in "Cotton Room" is crucial, and it likely refers to the giant abscess at the center of the Demon Eye Sponge, suggesting that the interior of the abscess could be an independent space.
As for the various "silk patterns" below, they should be the core abilities of the Demon Eye Sponge, triggered by their patterns.
Regarding "Regulation Eye" and "Matrix Eye," they presumably correspond to the eyeballs at the tips of the tentacles.
"Regulation..."
Cheng Ye thought, and combining the naming rules of "silk pattern," a bold speculation emerged in his mind:
Could it be that this regulation eye is like a gatekeeper, responsible for discerning whether a creature is qualified to enter the Cotton Room below?
And the access silk pattern is the key, or rather an identity card, making creatures holding it not be attacked by the Demon Eye Sponge?
Going further, the "Converging Silk Pattern" is likely a unique summoning ability of a powerful infection source, which creates the precondition for forming an infection tide, gathering surrounding infected bodies together.
The Commanding Silk Pattern might be the ability to control these gathered infected bodies?
Regarding the further down nature, earth, water... it is temporarily impossible to judge the specific effects based on names alone, but they are likely the abilities of the Demon Eye Sponge to alter its internal or external environment.
"If I could get this access silk pattern, manifest it as a skill... No, it’s a special skill. If I manifest it as an item worn on my body, wouldn’t that allow me to pass the regulation eye and matrix eye’s discernment, qualifying to enter the Cotton Room, and thus reaching the deeper cavities?"
Cheng Ye considered himself not weak in analytical ability, with even stronger associative ability.
But when this bold speculation appeared in his mind, he was still startled.
Leaving aside whether others could, like him, deduce the role of silk patterns through characteristic names and obtain corresponding items, even if they really entered the Cotton Room, if any accident happened, there would be no escape.
Unless one could explode the Demon Eye Sponge from the inside, otherwise, you’d only be trapped inside waiting to die!
While pondering, the car’s analysis platform suddenly emitted a slight prompt sound, and the screen began to display data analyzed from the sponge fragments.
Earlier, Shi Xu only taught him how to start the analysis, how to import data into the database to verify conclusions, not detailed principles. Cheng Ye also didn’t delve into it, directly importing the analyzed data into the database and initiating the matching program.
Line after line of complex raw data poured into the database. After rapid analysis and matching, they quickly transformed into easily comprehensible conclusions presented on the screen.
[Source Matching: Completely Unknown Infection Source (refers to a type never before appeared in the Wasteland, with no related data)]
[Ability Matching: Detected a large amount of rule-type ability remnants, detected contamination-type ability remnants]
[Rule-type Ability Matching Verification:
1. The entity automatically repels any special rules. An attempt was made to verify using the "Petrification Curse," but it could not penetrate the entity’s rule limitation.
2. Attempts to stimulate its abilities revealed that the entity shows two main characteristics:
Fixed: Every stimulation feedback result is stable with no special change
Absorption: Each stimulation results in some data source loss, possibly being absorbed and assimilated by it]
[Contamination-type Ability Matching Verification:
1. Attempting data simulation analysis, humans contacting the entity will be directly parasitized
2. Attempting mental simulation analysis, humans contacting the entity show no significant spiritual contamination]
...
Compared to the specific characteristics given by the panel, the analysis platform’s results veer more towards academic research; the data is rigorous yet lacks direct application direction.
Cheng Ye quickly scanned through with a furrowed brow, his gaze finally fixed on the first item of "Rule-type Ability Matching Verification."
The mentioned "Petrification Curse" is precisely the Extraordinary Curse circulating underground in the Stone Province, characterized by automatically absorbing all plants’ characteristics and randomly converting the absorbed traits into hard materials.
It’s certain that the Inner City has materials that can isolate this curse, hence the fresh fruits brought out.
But such a troublesome curse could not penetrate the body of the Demon Eye Sponge?
Does that mean its "Cotton Room" interior would also be unaffected by the Petrification Curse?
Cheng Ye suddenly had a thought. If the Demon Eye Sponge indeed possesses such a rule-rejecting ability, as long as enough Cotton Room characteristics are collected, then through intelligence exchanged for corresponding Source Rail technology, perhaps it’s possible to analyze the principle, thereby manufacturing materials with the same characteristics.
At that time, constructing greenhouses unaffected by Extraordinary Curses with such materials would no longer be a fantasy.
Even attaching the material to protective armor, relying on its rule-rejection ability, might fend off some infection sources, even offering a chance against the elusive spiritual contamination.
"This..."
Cheng Ye was somewhat confused, increasingly bewildered.
But what confused him was not the mystical properties of the Demon Eye Sponge, but compared to other infection sources, collecting characteristics from this giant Demon Eye Sponge seemed particularly simple?
Just now, with a single cut, it achieved about 4% progress. If one’s speedier, cutting it three to five times at once... wouldn’t it quickly max out characteristics?
Wow.
He suddenly stood up from the alloy stool, didn’t bother to continue researching these semantics, opened the truck box door, and strode quickly towards the riverbank.
