“I… I see… but why hasn’t the radar already found the things on that list?” Hiding her face which couldn’t get redder, she inquired stutteringly.
“Well, it’s not that simple, first, it’s much harder for that tool to pinpoint a plant or something similar under the pressurized water. Secondly, it cannot pinpoint the location of the living creatures. And that’s what the Island ugly’s currently after, the Sun Bone Fish. It’s better if you watch it yourself, here… look.” After he was done talking, Virus connected a part of himself to the golden beauty as a screen immediately displayed itself in front of both of them which showed the current situation of the Island ugly.
“Uh-” The golden beauty was a bit surprised by the sudden hovering screen that had abruptly popped into existence in front of her. However, soon, as if she had finally found a way to distract herself from the rubbing hands on her back, she started watching the screen in front of her quietly.

“Sigh” Letting out a frustrated sigh, the Island ugly pondered to himself, ‘When am I going to find this stupid fish! I’ve been searching everywhere for hours now and I still haven’t found it! And there’s still another material I need to find after this!’
Currently, looking at the dark bottom of the ocean in front of him, the Island ugly’s focus was a full hundred percent as he watched the quickly passing by scenery in front of him.
Soon, a voice resounded inside the spaceship which was followed by a sigh, “Warning, the shield has been weakened to the state of having only ten percent of its defense strength remaining, rising to the higher levels of the ocean until the complete recovery of the shield is strongly recommended.”
“Sigh, failed again.”

.
A few hours passed just like that as the Island ugly continued searching for the fish when finally, he spotted a tiny bright golden light almost the same size of an infant’s fist moving around in front of him. So, letting out a loud scream of victory, the Island ugly proclaimed, “Found it! Yes!!!” Then, putting on the underwater suit wristwatch, he began moving to the back of the spaceship where he dived into the pressurized bottom of the ocean as he chased after the fleeing strange fish.

One more day passed very quickly. At this time, an invisible spaceship landed on a private island very quietly without anyone noticing.
“Master, everything’s gathered per order” Bowing deferentially in front of a devilish man, the Island ugly stated.
“You’re one day late.” However, his response was an extremely icy reply which sent shivers down the Island ugly’s spine, “I… I’m sorr-“
“Look at you, I was just joking. Take it easy, haha… good job anyway.” Seeing his face go pale, Virus said while laughing out loud in entertainment.
‘Screw you! I swear you enjoy making fun of me like this, you sadist master!’ Came the loud yell, albeit, it was only heard inside his own artificial brain, in his realm of thoughts.
Afterward, Virus gave him his new orders, “Bring the other ‘Maker Device Apothecary’ to my room for now.”
“Yes, master.”
“Oh, also, what happened to the fruit by the way? Is it ready? Did you restore it?” As if he had just remembered it, Virus inquired.
“I made the arrangement before leaving three days ago. It should be restored entirely by now, I’ll bring that over too.” Replied the Island ugly respectfully before leaving.
Twenty minutes later, a new ‘MDA’ was placed in front of Virus, this was not the ‘MDA’ he had in the highest floor of his 4 Times Square building, but the second one he had ordered to be made in the past, just in case.
Beside the ‘MDA’, there were six materials placed in an orderly manner with the most eye-catching among them being a dead fish which was lightly giving off a golden light even though it was already dead.
There were also a few dark fungi placed right beside the ‘MDA’ which were shockingly giving off a very cold vibe from themselves.
Other than these, there was also a hard rock, a fiery red hot flower, a fruit, and a golden vine situated on the table.
“You can leave, don’t come back until I’m finished…” Ordering the Island ugly to leave, Virus murmured, “Finally, everything’s ready.”
Then turning toward the golden beauty beside him, he voiced with a smile, “Lil Belle, you keep guard beside me while I make it… I can’t be disturbed at all throughout the whole process, not even in the slightest.”
Listening to her master’s words, the golden beauty was surprised as she asked, “Hmm? You need to focus on the process? Master, didn’t you just need to put some commands into the ‘MDA’ the previous times and everything was done by the tool itself… why is it any different this time?”
Letting out a laugh, Virus began elaborating in order to clear the confusion inside Ella’s burning eyes of curiosity, “Haha, that’s actually very simple… let’s assume we have two blades of grass of the same type… now, even though these two are both from the same type of grass, there are still some very minor differences between them in their very essence.”
Raising both of his hands, he continued, “This brings us to my point… you see, in the previous drugs I prepared… I just needed to give its general structure to the ‘MDA’ and it would handle it roughly according to that general DNA I gave it and like that, those minor differences didn’t matter at all as they didn’t have much influence on the overall effect I wanted to create.”
“But this time… it’s different! And even the most minor of differences matter! So this time… I need to process them myself and carefully focus even on the most minor of details in order to know how much I need to continue a particular process in order to achieve what I’m after. What I wanna say is that I would need to manually stop when it’s necessary to stop and carefully control how much pressure, etc. I put on each of the material along with many other phases. Anyway, this is all because the ‘MDA’ is incapable of handling that kind of complex process… so I need to do it manually step by step.” Putting on an extremely focused expression, he explained further.
“Actually, a more simple example would be comparing it to Alchemy… especially in it’s earlier stages since the higher stages of Alchemy in the Cultivation Multiverse is even more complex than this and has other aspects to it too… Anyway, do you understand my point now, Lil Belle?” Gently smiling, Virus concluded.
With a shimmer of understanding going past her eyes, the golden beauty vocalized while nodding her head, “Oh… I see! Yep, I get it now. So that’s how it is… okay, don’t worry about anything, master. I’ll protect you with my life and I won’t allow anyone disturb master’s short period of seclusion.” She finished her words with great determination.
“That’s my Lil Belle, thanks.” Patting her head with a chuckle, Virus said before walking before the ‘MDA’ and picking up one of the materials situated before him.
