Chapter 476: The Trailblazer Is a God (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a long night of conversation with Lin Ran, Feng Qi was arranged to stay in the room next to Lin Ran.

In the next few days, Feng Qi had a rough understanding of the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s sub-base.

This was one of the many sub-bases of the Tiger Soul Research Institute in Star City. It was ranked eighth and was also known as the Tiger Soul Research Institute’s Base No. 8. It was mainly in charge of research on spells.

This base was managed by the deputy director of the spell department.

Lin Ran led the spell research team’s second section at the base, overseeing 38 team members and three dedicated laboratories.

Although he didn’t have any authority, his status in the base was unquestionable.

Through Lin Ran’s explanation, Feng Qi quickly understood the general situation of this sub-base.

Since he had just joined the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he had not participated in any cultivation technique or spell experiments for the past few days.

During this period, Lin Ran submitted a recommendation letter to the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

He hoped that he could join the cultivation technique research team.

However, the reply from the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute surprised Feng Qi and Lin Ran.

The higher-ups at the Tiger Soul Research Institute expressed their hope that Lin Ran would discover his talent in spell research and actively engage in the field.

They seemed to have the intention to send talented people to the spell department.

This behavior coincided with Feng Qi’s guess.

He felt that it was likely that the domain faction behind the scenes was controlling the Tiger Soul Research Institute and getting human talents to research the spells they needed for free.

Next, they decided to investigate this matter.

On this day, Feng Qi followed Lin Ran to Laboratory 3 as usual.

The spell laboratory was completely different from the research laboratory of the Scarlet Research Institute.

The venue of each laboratory was the size of a basketball court.

The interior was intricately adorned with red and yellow talismans, serving to seal the Spiritual Qi. The floor beneath Lin Ran’s feet was constructed from special magic stones generated by the domain field.

The layout here was designed to minimize the power of spells.

The process of studying spells was filled with instability, and there was a high chance of an explosion.

Sometimes, unstable spells would cause the caster to suffer a backlash from the Spiritual Qi.

Therefore, the first thing to ensure the safety of the spell researchers was to limit the power of the spell.

Only by passing the preliminary test of the laboratory could one obtain the subsequent tests and updates from the outside world.

Alongside the various Spiritual Qi-restricting decorations in the laboratory, numerous instruments were strategically arranged.

For example, the Spiritual Qi and spiritual energy detectors.

These two machines could test the purity and quality of the Spiritual Qi released in the room and better assist in the improvement of the spell.

Other than that, there was also a spell track recorder, a spell fluctuation detector, and a data modifier.

Among them, what attracted Feng Qi’s attention was the metal nutrition chamber placed in the corner of the laboratory. It reflected a black luster under the light.

After asking Lin Ran, he learned that this instrument was the latest research product of the Scarlet Research Institute, the “virtual laboratory”.

Its function was to simulate the environment in reality and release the spell. Moreover, the virtual system inside could record the details of the spell in real-time.

However, in Lin Ran’s words, the simulation effect of this virtual gaming capsule was not ideal. It was rarely used.

Hearing Lin Ran’s explanation, Feng Qi was surprised.

The technology of virtual reality had already been preliminarily perfected long before he transmigrated.

Moreover, the Scarlet Research Institute had conducted many virtual reality simulation experiments, and the results were unexpectedly good.

Hence, the Scarlet Research Institute collaborated with the Future Research Institute. They planned to acquire the necessary technology and establish a super factory outside Star City. This facility would mass-produce high-end virtual gaming capsules, paving the way for the future.

But from Lin Ran’s explanation, not only had virtual technology not improved after so many years but it had also regressed.

However, after thinking about it carefully, he understood the reason.

The virtual technology released by the Scarlet Research Institute to the public was evidently a watered-down version.

The complete version was not released to the public.

This could test the effects of virtual technology promotion and also cover the series of virtual technology research carried out by the Scarlet Research Institute.

After all, building a super factory would attract the attention of external forces.

However, as long as the various factions felt that virtual technology was not a threat, the research could continue.

Everything was for the sake of safety.

The Scarlet Research Institute released the semi-finished high-end virtual chamber as a deceptive smokescreen.

After entering the laboratory, he and Lin Ran went to the data control table and watched the spell experimental video from a few days ago.

At this moment, a conversation request appeared on the screen of the control panel.

Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately picked up the video call.

A man in the base’s security uniform appeared on the screen.

“Team Leader Lin, there’s a package for you.”

When Lin Ran, who was sitting beside Feng Qi, heard this, he immediately nodded.

“Send it to the lab.”

After hanging up the video call and waiting for a long time, the security staff carrying the delivery box arrived at Laboratory 3.

He put down the delivery box, greeted him, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Feng Qi picked up the delivery box and saw that the sender column was filled with the words “Scarlet Research Institute.”

“Memory-erase potion?” Lin Ran asked curiously..
