Chapter 478 - 35. Walls have ears.
[Grey Bird Species Research Progress: 33%]
[Grey Bird Species Social Research Progress: 48%]
[Additional Reward Bonus from Researching the Snow Mountain Clan: 20%]
[When Grey Bird Species Biological Research reaches 20%, the first stage reward is unlocked:]
[Constitution +3.6, Spirit Realm Pollution Resistance +1.2, Highlighting the Location of the Six Clans’ Mark: Grey Bird Species Mark]
After finishing his research on Ossie’s biology, Fisher leaned against the window in his room intending to check the progress of his research. As he opened the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual, a burst of illusory golden font dazzled his eyes. Immediately after, his gaze inevitably fell on the 48% Grey Bird Species Social Research Progress, as if that number appeared particularly glaring.
It was no wonder, he was just 2% shy of unlocking the second stage reward, but despite anything he asked Emhardt and Ossie, he couldn’t advance any further. It seemed as if the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual was intentionally stalling the progress, which slightly irritated him.
Nevertheless, the other rewards were still quite generous. The last time he researched Ossie’s Grey Bird constitution, the manual had already hinted that researching the Snow Mountain Clan would grant a reward bonus, which made him look forward to what would happen after he had gathered all the species of the Snow Mountain Clan.
Additionally, there were two pieces of information highlighted in the manual’s hints that Fisher found particularly noteworthy.
Firstly, it was unexplained why the study of the Grey Bird Species gave an abrupt bonus of "Spirit Realm Pollution Resistance." Touching the illusory words with his consciousness brought about a new page with an explanatory entry, just like when he had previously gained Fallen Resistance. It read:
[Spirit Realm Pollution: In the consciousness-fused Spirit Realm, an unknown existence brought about severe soul pollution; even powerful Chaos Species cannot withstand such torment and choose to flee the Spirit Realm.]
[Note: Detecting the source of Spirit Realm Pollution requires a higher life rank. Any known entities of Spirit Realm Pollution bear fatal dangers; please proceed with extreme caution.]
