Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 592

Chapter 592: Chapter 543: A New Body

Shen Tang urged, "What’s the solution? Hurry up and tell me!"

The system didn’t dare to keep them in suspense any longer and quickly explained, [Without a physical entity as a vessel, residual consciousness will eventually dissipate, like a broken flower stem in water can only survive temporarily, unlike one rooted in soil. But as long as you provide this consciousness with a vessel, it has the potential to exist for a long time.]

[If the host really can’t find Jia Lan’s original body, you can create a new body for him as a vessel.]

"A new body?" Shen Tang frowned even more, "Where am I supposed to find a new body?"

The system chuckled, [We may not have the hands of God to create real flesh and blood, but we can use a puppet instead! All the host needs is a vessel that can be truly touched, a puppet is a low-end option!]

Although a puppet is not as good as a real body, it’s much better than a formless consciousness. This is a reluctant compromise.

"The puppet you mentioned... is it the substitute puppet the system previously rewarded?"

The system shook its head, [That substitute puppet’s appearance is locked and can’t be modified. If the host wants to create a puppet that looks exactly like Jia Lan’s body, you need to make a new one.]

[Don’t forget, host, you have a skill — Magic Puppet Making Skill.]

[It’s a pity the host’s current level is only Basic. However, you have two skill books. As long as you use them to upgrade Magic Puppet Making Skill to Advanced, you’ll be able to make an advanced puppet indistinguishable from a real person, perfect for carrying Jia Lan’s consciousness.]

[While the Advanced Puppet is not as good as the system-rewarded puppet, it’s sufficient as a consciousness vessel!]

Shen Tang thought the system made sense. After returning to her room, she immediately retrieved the two skill books from the space.

Skill books can awaken new skills or upgrade existing ones.

Shen Tang decided to use both skill books to upgrade [Magic Puppet Making Skill] directly from Basic to Advanced.

But having the skill was not enough, they still needed to gather materials to craft the puppet.

Due to the post-war labor shortages in the Night Glow Empire, Shen Tang had previously crafted a large number of low-level puppets for labor and was quite experienced in puppet-making. However, materials needed for low-level puppets were simple, whereas those for advanced puppets were extremely rare and precious.

Since the system task was already exposed, Shen Tang didn’t hide the resurrection plan for Jia Lan from the Beast Husband this time.

Xiao Jin and the others diligently sought out the necessary materials everywhere.

Many precious materials had long disappeared from the market, but thankfully, as a treasure-laden royal family, Jialouluo had an unknown number of rare items hidden in the treasure house. Although part of the Imperial Palace was damaged, she had already prepared and set up secret reserves in multiple places to guard against unexpected situations.

After gathering resources for half a month, the materials for making the puppet were finally complete.

On the day of crafting, everyone was extremely tense, even keeping their breaths as light as possible.

The materials were placed on a huge circular platform. Shen Tang’s palm emitted pure white spiritual power, which transformed into thousands of fine threads in the air, wrapping around the materials on the platform, slowly integrating them.

It was as if a tremendous force crushed and melted the materials... The process was extremely complex. From the outside, layers of threads weaved into a giant white light cocoon.

Xiao Jin and the others had no way of knowing what was happening inside the cocoon, so they could only wait quietly. About half an hour later, Shen Tang slowly retracted the spiritual threads.

Even though she possessed S-grade spiritual power, the half-hour consumption nearly exhausted her. Her face was as pale as paper, her forehead soaked in cold sweat, and even her back was drenched with sweat.
