37 Experimentation (1/2)

Weeks passed as Fraser experimented on his trading spoils.

Even though the potion trading was easily done in one day, the sorting and documentation of the spoils took way longer.

For example, the baby bat which Fraser acquired from one of the older students who wasn't in the inner circle still was a baby.

It did grow a little bit, however, the fact that the baby bat is a chubby cute round ball of fur didn't change.

Instead, it grew even more dependent towards Fraser.

Whenever Fraser was a couple of meters away, the baby would start to quick in an annoying matter.

Thus leaving no choice to Fraser who now carried the baby bat in a pocket on his robe.

'Even if the baby bat is annoying as hell, if I send it out with a command it will try to please me. I actually was able to perceive the impressions of the baby bat when I send it out to scout another room. There was the wooden table which seemed a lot bigger and the rest of the applications.'

However Fraser didn't only experiment with the baby bat, he also cut open the corpses of many different creatures. All of these corpses were traded with the seniors of the inner circle.

After all, Fraser accepted all offers of the senior apprentices of the inner circle in order to leave a good impression as well as to perceive whether they would take advantage of him, give him the market value or give him a little bit more in order to build up a good relationship.

Fraser stored all organic parts of the corpses in different glass jars and even sorted the glass jars in order to remember which organic part was from which creature.

To be honest he had no idea for what the creatures organic parts could be used for as most books in the outpost library only mentioned the danger and the living habit of the creatures.

But there were a few parts which were self-explanatory.

For example, all poisons, whether it came from a snake, bat, insect, weird ball-shaped spike, bear, wolf, worm or even rocks could be smeared on a weapon and used against the enemies.

However, most creature corpses were only useful to be stored in the Database of the AI.

Sometimes there were interesting bodies which seemed almost other-worldly. Weird shaped heart, no heart at all, no blood in a corpse of the same creature and many more.

The most fascinating thing Fraser saw was a parasitic insect inside one of the corpses.

As Fraser looked inside the body of the corpse, it was a colossal cave bear, he could see a weird shaped yellow insect inside the brain of the colossal cave bear.

It seemed to be eating the brain of the colossal cave bear while still maintaining control.

Sadly, or fortunately, the parasitic insect was already dead and the only remaining thing was the insect entangled with the brain of the colossal cave bear.

As Fraser continued to examine the corpse of the colossal cave bear he could see that a couple of yellowish small dots were implanted in his body.

With suspicion, Fraser glanced at the yellowish small dots. After all, they were scattered through the entire body of the colossal cave bear without any sort of structure or reason.

As Fraser continued to cut the corpse of the colossal cave bear he could see an almost transparent yellow orb in the backbone of the colossal cave bear.

As if petrified Fraser glanced at the yellow orb.
