Putting his hand on his chin and thinking for a while, Yang Yu asked the first question:
“There is one thing that I have always been very concerned about.
Things like racial essence aren't just used to improve strength, right
I want to know the true purpose of the racial essence."
"You really picked a very serious question at the beginning."
Owen raised his hand, and a bubble appeared not far from him.
“I remember saying some strange things to you before.
Was that when it piqued your interest?"
Yang Yu shook his head, "The first time I used the racial essence, I had a wonderful feeling, but that feeling disappeared quickly. Since then, I have always been concerned about it."
Owen smiled, motioned Yang Yu to follow, and walked towards the bubble.
Coming to the bubble, Owen poked his finger forward lightly, and the entire bubble shattered like an illusion.
In an instant, the pure white space turned into a bustling town.
Everyone ignored the appearance of Yang Yu and his friends and went about their own business.
Yang Yu reached for a railing and it passed through his hands.
Now, everything Yang Yu saw were illusions, but they were also real things that happened in history.
Without any warning, a burly man on the street suddenly hugged his arms in pain and half-knelt on the ground. People walking by all avoided him, and only a few kind-hearted people came forward to inquire about his situation.
Suddenly, wolf-like hair began to grow on the right half of the sturdy man's body. His body grew bigger and bigger and he turned into a half-man, half-wolf monster.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his sharp claws tore into pieces the kind-hearted people who approached him. He seemed to be crazy and slaughtered everyone around him indiscriminately.
Owen said: “This man stole and used the racial essence of the Wind Wolf Clan an hour ago.
He mutated, but he had no way to control the mutation, and eventually he went mad, causing a tragedy.
This tragedy has happened more than once.”
Owen snapped his fingers again and again, and the scene around Yang Yu continued to change. Yang Yu saw one strange-looking person after another.
Certain parts of their bodies seemed to have been eroded by some subhuman race and turned into that of a subhuman.
"If the offspring is a union of two races, they will inherit some of the characteristics of both parents.
All of these people are mutations created by using the essence of the race, and their appearances are varied and abrupt.
Perhaps you have discovered that the mutated parts of them are purer and more authentic than the mixed-bloods.
Take the first mutant who appeared for example. Before the adventurers found him, the part of him that turned into a werewolf was already able to condense three whirlwinds.
This is a level that ordinary Wind Wolf hybrids take several years to reach.
And it only took him a week.
That ability is like an instinct to him.”
"So, assuming that racial essence can allow one sub-human race to transition to another sub-human race?" Yang Yu asked.
"That's right. It seems that you have already vaguely noticed it."
“Just wanted to double check.
Is this transformation conditional
Otherwise, as long as you get the racial essence, you can change your race, and there will be no mutants like you just showed me."
Owen nodded. "Without some instrument support, it is almost impossible to transition safely and completely, but it is not impossible."
"… The closer you are to a true purebred human, the more racial essence you have, and the more likely you are to complete the transition safely and transform into other sub-humans?" Yang Yu asked.
“When I first met you, I revealed a lot of things to you on a whim.
It's not simple for you to be able to make inferences based on those things.
Yes, that's it.
Your existence can be said to be a very bad miracle in tens of thousands of years.
Generally speaking, purebred humans are not suitable for surviving in this environment, and they usually suffer from a disease called 'magic deficiency'.
As the name suggests, this disease is caused by the inability to absorb magic power from the outside world to achieve self-balance, which causes the magic power from the outside world to continuously erode the body, thus causing a series of complications.
In mild cases, the body will become weak, and in severe cases, death will occur directly.
”
"Is the racial essence specially tailored for people like them?"
Owen shook his head. "You could say that, but not entirely. It became like this later."
"What about the back? What about the front?"
Irving said in embarrassment: "Don't ask questions outside the list, this question requires extra payment.
And if you really want to ask, it will definitely cost a lot of Victory Points.”
".Oh, I see." Yang Yu nodded in understanding, "Then tell me some knowledge that doesn't cost extra.
I have activated the access to the knowledge base, and some questions do not require points.
This means that I can acquire knowledge that does not require points at will."
Owen laughed out loud, "Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with your understanding of it this way.
However, it looks like my workload will increase.
Since we're talking about magic poverty, let me talk a little more about it.
Do you remember that I once told you that there are three kinds of creatures in this world? "
Yang Yu nodded.
Owen summoned a bubble and gently popped it.
The space where Yang Yu and the others were transformed into a vast grassland.
A cheetah was hunting in the grass, its target was a deer drinking water by the river.
Suddenly, a huge snake-like monster emerged from the ground, scaring away all the horned deer that were drinking water, and then launched an attack on the lake.
A crocodile-shaped monster hidden in the river revealed itself, immediately took a defensive stance, and used its skills to counterattack. After a short while, the two monsters were biting and wrestling with each other.
The cheetah hiding in the grass meowed in dissatisfaction and watched the two gods fighting from afar.
Owen pointed into the air, and time seemed to be frozen, with the entire space solidified at that moment.
Walking into Cheetah, Owen looked at Yang Yu and said:
“It’s easy to distinguish between ordinary creatures and magical beasts.
Ordinary creatures have absolute biological instincts and follow the law of survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle.
But Warcraft is different. They follow biological laws to a certain extent, but not completely.
For example, the two monsters in the picture have similar strengths.
If two monsters fight, both will probably suffer losses.
If they followed their biological instincts, they would probably choose prey that is easier to catch, such as a deer drinking water by the river, or a cheetah hiding in the grass.
If it's just to fill your stomach, this prey is enough.
These prey will not hurt them, nor will they easily escape from their grasp.
No matter how you think about it, those two monsters should hunt them.
Real hunters in nature will usually only choose prey that is weaker than themselves unless they have no other choice.
They don't want to have their intestines pierced and die in pain just for a meal.
As long as you have enough to eat, wild beasts will always pass by.
It’s like the Colosseum, where wild beasts that have been hungry for a few days are released to create the illusion of a narrow encounter. Just watch it for fun.
Here comes the problem.
You feel.
Why are they fighting each other?"
