"Oh no, is she infected?!"
Yang Yuan was startled and quickly retreated with Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi.
The soldiers supervising the ordinary people throwing Plum Blossom Darts all turned pale and hurriedly ran over to take the Storm away, shouting, "Quick, notify the Director! His daughter is in trouble..."
Yang Yuan was stunned; was the Storm Jia Weixin's daughter?
No wonder she was his personal bodyguard. Jia Weixin always put family first.
This is troublesome. With the decisive battle imminent, if the highest commander loses control of his emotions—
He quickly dashed to the airdrop box, looked at the cooler soaking in the water, and found that his experience had just reached enough.
"Upgrade it for me!"
He picked up one and upgraded it with a thought.
"Xiao Nan..."
At this moment, Jia Weixin appeared at the factory door as if by teleportation, nervously taking over his daughter.
"Jia Nan, she..." Chen Xianzhi also arrived, looking grim.
Just then, an invisible heat wave radiated from the Storm, causing the nearby temperature to spike.
Instantly, everyone present was shocked.
"Damn it!!!"
Jia Weixin's face twisted, with signs of losing control.
But just then, a chilling cold enveloped everyone, suppressing the high temperature that had just emerged. However, the invisible heat wave could not be suppressed and continued to radiate outwards.
Jia Weixin, whose emotions were on the brink of collapse, suddenly paused and hurriedly looked in the direction of the cold. He saw Yang Yuan approaching quickly with a cooler.
"This batch of coolers has just reached the Marvel level. Let's try it and see if it can suppress her condition."
Yang Yuan said, placing the cooler directly on the Storm.
Instantly, Storm's body began to freeze visibly, not just on the surface, but even the blood started to freeze.
Not only that, but the heat radiation also dissipated.
The primary feature of the Marvel cooler is that it can directly freeze anything it comes into contact with, not limited to the surface, but even the interior will freeze together.
This scene gave Jia Weixin a glimmer of hope.
However, in the next moment, the ice layer on the Storm's surface started to melt suddenly, as if one Marvel cooler was insufficient to suppress the mutating force inside her.
"Not enough, get another one..." Jia Weixin shouted anxiously.
Yang Yuan was about to grab a second cooler when Chen Xianzhi stopped him: "Mr. Yang Yuan, can you completely authorize this cooler to Jia Nan?"
"Yes, full authorization." Jia Weixin also urgently looked at Yang Yuan: "Mr. Yang Yuan, please!"
"Complete authorization? What do you mean?" Yang Yuan was puzzled.
Chen Xianzhi quickly explained, "Some conceptual creations require authorization for others to use. I previously mentioned the Conceptual Superpower User who can produce blueprints. The items he creates, if he is willing to fully authorize them, the owner of the creation can bind to that item, and no one else can take it, making it their exclusive property. Does your creation have such a feature? Try gifting this cooler to Jia Nan in your mind?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Yuan pondered for a moment and then tried offering the cooler to the Storm in his mind.
The next moment, something magical happened. The cooler actually merged directly into the Storm's body.
Following this, the Storm's body, which had been radiating heat, suddenly ceased.
Yang Yuan was stunned for a moment because he realized he could no longer see the data of the cooler. It seemed that the cooler now completely belonged to the Storm, and unless she wished to return it, even he couldn't forcibly take it back.
Though it seemed, in this state, she couldn't harm him with the cooler, the cooler fundamentally belonged to her.
'Bound? Conceptual creations have such a feature? Indeed, I learned something new today.'
He noted this usage in his mind: 'However, after complete authorization, uncontrollable situations might arise, so if not necessary, it's best not to use this feature.'
"Director, Jia Nan's condition has stabilized!"
Chen Xianzhi, looking at the Storm, said excitedly, "Her mutation continues, but she hasn't gone berserk, unlike the usual Drought Fiend birth, which devours all flesh and blood energy. She remains in a controllable stage. Her mutation is continuous, not instant, so she might retain her rationality."
"And then?" Jia Weixin still looked solemn: "Create a rational Drought Fiend?"
Yang Yuan also frowned.
Chen Xianzhi calculated something on his fingers, then said, "It might not be a Drought Fiend. With Mr. Yang Yuan's Marvel cooler, under the mutual counteraction, what might emerge is uncertain. It might be too early to conclude."
Yang Yuan gave Chen Xianzhi a surprised glance; can this guy tell fortunes? What kind of superpower does he have?
He couldn't help but think of Li Qingshan's unexpected death.
Did Chen Xianzhi rely on brains or superpowers to take the position of an advisor?
"Hopefully."
Jia Weixin sighed and then looked at Yang Yuan: "Mr. Yang Yuan, regardless, your great kindness cannot be thanked enough. I'll go settle Xiao Nan first."
"Director, please go ahead." Yang Yuan nodded.
Chen Xianzhi then said, "Mr. Yang Yuan, you've completed this batch of Marvel coolers, right? Could we borrow some? There are still quite a few women in the safe zone..."
"Of course, but I'll keep ten." Yang Yuan nodded.
"Thank you! How about the previous one hundred coolers?"
"As long as you keep them soaking in water, they should now be...ready. I just need to perform the final step." Yang Yuan said.
"That's fantastic, and thanks for your trouble, Mr. Yang Yuan."
"It's part of my duty."
Yang Yuan didn't procrastinate. He first upgraded two of the coolers to level eleven, turning them into Marvels, then fully authorized them to Jiang Yiyi and Zhao Jiayan.
After complete authorization, Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi were amazed to find that the cooler could turn off the cooling effect.
Indeed, turn off the cooling effect, rather than control the temperature. After all, it is named cooler, not temperature controller, unrelated to the Temperature Control Rune engraved on the materials.
It's a conceptual creation, after all.
'After full authorization, the cooling effect can be turned off? Why can't I turn it off myself?'
Yang Yuan found it odd, then a flash of inspiration: 'Can I fully authorize it to myself?'
He immediately tried, fully authorizing one of the coolers to himself.
The next moment, he had an epiphany as if inspiration had struck, instantly understanding how to control the cooler, able to toggle its effect with a thought.
'Is this really possible? But why?'
Yang Yuan was puzzled: 'My self-made item, has to be re-authorized to myself? Does it have something to do with the subconscious?'
The concept relates to the subconscious, which is tightly linked to the primary consciousness, and the main consciousness is aligned with the surface consciousness.
Could it be because the subconscious and surface consciousness are separate?
Or is there another reason I don't know?
'Right, conceptual creation... conceptually...'
Yang Yuan considered a question: 'In my concept, items manufactured by merchants are theoretically goods, and after they are produced, if the merchant doesn't plan to claim them, the goods shouldn't belong to the merchant unless they carry out an explicit process or ritual to make it their own, then the item becomes the merchant's own?'
During this period, even if the merchant directly uses it, it should be considered borrowed, akin to 'misusing public property' or casually using it but without making it genuinely theirs.
Like having relations with a woman and then continuing without need for force, but without confirming any relationship thereafter.
