Genshin Impact: Towards Godhood

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Cost-Effectiveness



The tribe was moving towards a stable cycle.

Hunting, nourishing the tribe with the flesh of prey, strengthening the tribe, hunting more prey...

It was a beneficial cycle, but for Tanit, it was a good thing; for others, it was bad news now.

The issue of resources was always a big problem—you want it, I want it too. If you get stronger and I don't, then I'll crack open.

But these were minor issues that Rama didn't pay much attention to.

Tanit wouldn't stop hunting without him. The weapons Rama provided were enough to help them achieve victory.

"The results of the experiments on Faruzan are quite satisfactory. These potions can be implemented directly."

After another round of observation, Rama made his final decision.

The girl lying on the bed calmly put on her clothes, showing no signs of embarrassment.

"There's something I don't understand."

The alchemical potions were applied without regard to cost, and Faruzan's body recovered much better than Rama had expected.

In the normal timeline, she was first brought back by a caravan and then immediately started treatment once her identity was confirmed by the Akademiya.

Free medical services didn't necessarily mean the patient could enjoy top-tier medical care, but Faruzan was entitled to it.

Her research materials still served as the cornerstone for Haravatat scholars to read, whether out of academic contribution, admiration for her talent, or curiosity about why she hadn't aged in a century—she had enough value.

Even so, it took her a long time to recover her language system.

A century of deciphering work had nearly fried Faruzan's brain, which made sense.

In normal circumstances, no one could understand how someone living in a closed environment could survive entirely by thinking about how to solve riddles.

Faruzan's will was strong, but the fact that her brain almost broke down was also true.

Fortunately, after her recovery, she returned to normal.

"It's normal not to understand," Rama said casually. "Your brain isn't fully healed yet, so it's okay not to understand some things."

"You don't need to worry; you're not broken."

"That's not what I don't understand!"

Faruzan raised her voice.

Rama didn't tell her more information, and Faruzan didn't ask. She didn't even know she had been imprisoned for a hundred years, and after regaining consciousness, she looked at her almost unchanged face and figure, guessing that she had been in solitary confinement for one or two years at most.

One or two years was not nearly enough to be substantial, and she was still the girl scholar who had just begun her studies and was full of ambition to explore this world.

"What don't you understand? You have to make it clear." Rama continued to pretend not to understand. "I can't guess what's on someone else's mind."

Before the disaster, she might as well have a little emotion.

Faruzan was still too young.

She was a well-known genius scholar in the Akademiya, and within the scholar system established by the Akademiya, the benefits a genius scholar could enjoy were unimaginable to ordinary people.

Before encountering this accident, the biggest trouble Faruzan faced was being stumped by some mechanism or some ancient book.

This was a difficulty, but as far as fate played its part, it was far from enough.

People always make mistakes, but some mistakes they can bear, while others... can't be forgiven.

This understanding was simple, but if you wanted to really wake up, you had to pay a price, which wasn't easy.

Faruzan didn't notice the pity in Rama's eyes as she pondered his research.

Her research direction at the Akademiya was not mechanisms; more accurately, it was texts, interpreting the construction and solution of various mechanisms in ancient ruins based on inscriptions unearthed from stone carvings, etc.

By deciphering the texts recorded in ancient books, she could then decipher the corresponding mechanisms.

There was a connection to technological artifacts, but it was mainly about texts.

After deciphering the mechanisms, she recorded and organized the characteristics and deciphering methods of such mechanisms.

This was also the reason why this Haravatat scholar was highly regarded by the Vahumana, because she actually deciphered most of the mechanisms and left behind relevant records.

For later scholars, as long as they compared the mechanisms they encountered with Faruzan's records, they could directly copy them and solve most of the problems.

Faruzan was fine, but her research direction was eliminated by the times.

There are only a limited number of technological artifacts, and with the development of the times, most of the mechanisms and variants have already been recorded. Even if there are no records, there are more deciphering methods, and there is no need to excavate ancient books and then decipher the texts to solve them.

And then Faruzan's research direction was directly retired on the spot.

This is also the reason why she couldn't find students in the future, her own knowledge and talent were placed here, interest is also a change in direction to continue research, the Akademiya does not have harsh that a genius scholar.

But if you want to learn from her, you don't have this qualification and talent, basically as soon as you lose a job.

In Kaveh's legend, the children of the family are not only to do or make money, and the sufferer of these miserable studies.

Not for money, or for the foundation of the Akademiya, I will not want to repeat, why would you want to?

Faruzan's persistence was partly out of hobby, but as a "senior" from a hundred years ago, she also didn't want to abandon her past.

"Your research!"

Faruzan crossed her arms. "After observing for a while, I've found your research quite interesting."

"You've managed to accomplish many tasks with machines that normally only humans could perform... including warfare."

She wasn't a child anymore.

Seeing what the factory was producing, she knew what they were for.

These large machines weren't meant for farming, were they?

"And?" Rama asked.

"So why do you still want to promote these alchemical potions?" Faruzan pursed her lips. "These potions are meant to strengthen the body, but even after taking so many, plus having a Vision, I still can't guarantee I could beat a squad of combat machines."

A squad was six machines.

Rama glanced at her and then shook his head. "You're overestimating yourself. They can explode, and their targeting isn't as basic as that of the ruin guards."

The ruin guards' homing missiles in the game were practically useless, much better in reality but still fairly average.

"If it were you, two would be enough to take you down."

Faruzan had just obtained her Vision.

The girl shook her fist at Rama.

Rama didn't mind. Instead, he smiled and said, "What you're really talking about is the cost-effectiveness of machines versus humans, right?"

"Cost-effectiveness? Your choice of words is always so cold... fine, that's what I mean."

Faruzan sighed. "So, why do you want to promote these alchemical potions?"
