Chapter 46: Moon Grass

(1/3) Page

However, speaking of which... It looks like it, this really looks so much like it!

History really does have inertia! Even though it has become unrecognizable, in these details...

Chu Zhu shook his head and continued to ask, "Where did they go now?"

"Out on a hunting expedition!"

Only then did Chu Zhu notice that the clothes worn by the four of them were tattered, looking more like they were patched together from the skins of wild beasts.

Ning Linglong's soul—her black silk stockings, were gone!

The few of them looked just like primitive people. No... on this timeline, has human civilization directly collapsed into ruin?

"Then why are my clothes still normal?" Chu Zhu found it hard to understand.

"By the way." Chu Zhu suddenly realized something was wrong, "Nuwa No. 17, since they went out hunting, what about those vines from earlier... what was that all about?"

"Even if Li Kang and the others maintained their power from the previous timeline, fighting these vines probably wouldn't be easy, right? And if they really won, why are the vines still at the door?"

"Searching for information, no available information!"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Fine, indeed he could not expect Nuwa No. 17, which had only been booted up yesterday, to be thoroughly familiar with this era.

"Can you connect to the recording equipment of the current era? Can you transmit outside information in?"

"Initiating search, no connectable devices detected! Attempting to start the security camera, security camera confirmed damaged..."

Chu Zhu: "..."

He sat cross-legged, tapping his fingers gently on the silver floor, and gradually sorted out his thoughts: "Nuwa No. 17, give me a brief introduction of myself!"

The next moment, a light screen projected.

"Beginning deep thought... Name: Chu Zhu. Permission level: Permanent Level Four. Title: The 21st Century's Greatest Human Executioner! World Destroyer! Human Race Exterminator! Creator of the Skynet Bud! Earth Traitor!"

Chu Zhu: "???"

That scared the life out of me!

Where on earth has this brought him? Is this still Earth?

Wait!

"Permanent Level Four permission!" Chu Zhu drew in a sharp breath of cold air, his face showing pleasant surprise. Although those titles were indeed enough to make one vomit blood, this permission level... was simply unimaginably high!

Becoming a global sports star only grants Level One!

This Permanent Level Four... what kind of unimaginably high-level big shot must one be to hold it?

"True!" Chu Zhu thought with grim humor, "With a low status, one couldn't even shoulder the blame for being an Earth traitor or a world destroyer!"

"Nuwa No. 17, tell me both the immortal cultivation method and the body-tempering method!" Chu Zhu rubbed his hands together. As the saying goes, misfortune and fortune are interdependent! Regardless of anything else, having Permanent Level Four permission—on this timeline, the advantage is with me!

"Beginning self-check, neither of the two methods mentioned by the authorized user was detected! Beginning deep thought, does the authorized user wish to generate a set of cultivation methods that can be written into novels based on information in the database? Beginning search for *Tao Te Ching*, *The Holy Bible*..."

"Alright, alright, stop, stop!" Chu Zhu interrupted Nuwa, his head truly aching.

"Judging from this... it can basically be confirmed that it wasn't human civilization in the real world that created nuclear radiation cultivation methods!"

Chu Zhu pondered deeply; these two cultivation methods should have been created by the dream civilization of the previous timeline itself.

Because the dream civilization was highly dependent on the Nuwa AI from the very beginning, allowing Nuwa to record a vast amount of information regarding the dream world civilization... that was why Nuwa No. 17 held cultivation methods internally.

And now.

Was Nuwa No. 17, restarted by Chu Zhu for the first time, a complete blank slate in this regard... or was it?

"That's not right!" Chu Zhu realized belatedly, if he had truly handed over the medicinal formula in the real world, how could there possibly be no data on this in Nuwa's database?

"Nuwa No. 17, based on my subsequent description, please retrieve the specific cultivation method..." Chu Zhu pursed his lips and earnestly stated the names of medicinal herbs one by one.

"Detected and confirmed: This is the nuclear radiation purification prescription popularized by the 21st century's greatest human executioner!"

"Effects of the prescription: When subjected to ultra-high-intensity nuclear radiation, strictly following the nuclear radiation purification prescription for rigorous cleansing and purification within ten minutes can raise the three-week survival rate of humans exposed to high-intensity radiation from infinitely close to zero to seventy-two percent!"

"It can effectively reduce the incidence of cancer caused by radiation!"

"It can slow down radiation aftereffects to an acceptable range!"

"One percent of the population may complete mutation as a result, acquiring a tremendous increase in physical constitution. However, such individuals carry a risk of ●●."

"It really does exist!" Chu Zhu wore a look of anticipation, while somewhat quizzically glancing at the risk. What was this blacked-out part? Contamination risk? It felt somewhat wrong...

Unable to deduce anything further, Chu Zhu brushed away the chaotic thoughts and continued, "List all the medicinal herbs completely! In addition, are there any subsequently derived prescriptions..."

Familiar names were spoken one after another!

Those were precisely the thirty-three medicinal herbs that Chu Zhu had previously matched using AI in the real world. As for the final four, they were—

Ghost-Faced Konjac!

Chu Zhu: "...Ah?!"

Chu Zhu listened with a blank expression to the detailed analysis provided by Nuwa: Ghost-Faced Konjac is recorded in *Records of the Ten Continents Within the Seas*, legend has it that grinding its roots and stems into powder can ward off "evil and toxic Qi." Western Region alchemists once used it in combination with lead monoxide to craft anti-radiation amulets.

The second is a Song Dynasty secret medicine, Taiyin Profound Essence Stone.

Coming from *Classified Materia Medica*, this mineral medicine needs to be harvested during the winter solstice at the Zi hour (midnight), and the ancients believed it could "subdue the transformation of the five movements and six qi." In ancient times, Taoist priests once mixed it with black dog's blood and applied it to the fontanelle, claiming it could ward off "earth vein radiation."

The next one is the Evil-Repelling Taisui. An undersea plant described in the Ming Dynasty's *Illustrations of Marine Oddities*, it needs to be decocted with ambergris and whale bone powder. Legend has it that Zheng He's fleet used it to soak ship timber to ward off "Nanyang poisonous miasma," and according to modern genetic testing, it contains unknown alkaloids!

The very last one is Moon Grass. This last one... had almost no explanation.

"...I finally understand why my AI couldn't screen this out." Chu Zhu did not know what kind of expression to wear. If this could be screened out, that would truly be ghost work!

Even looking at these names, his first reaction was: Do these things actually exist? Many of the herb names here felt like they should appear in fantasy or xianxia novels...

No, it's one thing for these things to exist... but they actually work against radiation?

"Fine, Nuwa No. 17, let's put the previous ones aside for a moment, what does that final Moon Grass mean?"

"Checking permission! Permission confirmed sufficient! Initiating decryption... Requesting authorized user verification."

Chu Zhu: "..."

Fine, another excruciatingly tedious five-minute verification!

"Moon Grass, a special plant cultivated on the moon! The mutant raw material is—

Inca Blood Purification Herb (Manayupa).

Production process: Plant the Inca Blood Purification Herb inside the lunar Darwin Vallis.

Darwin Vallis is located on the near side of the moon, with central geographical coordinates of 19.3° South latitude, 69.5° West latitude.

After being planted here, through gene screening and gene editing, Moon Grass can be obtained.

Once Moon Grass mutates successfully, it can be transplanted back to Earth. It cannot tolerate sunlight and must only bathe in moonlight at night! It matures after forty-nine days. Its roots can be used for cutting and propagation through division.

The following is the genetic sequence of Moon Grass. After transplanting the Inca Blood Purification Herb to the moon, please strictly follow the operation manual to perform gene editing on it:..."
