208: Who says a mosquito figurine can't be a figurine!

The main reason figurines and model kits became popular in the toy world was primarily due to the IP.

If there wasn't capital operating behind the scenes, nezha figurines, movie character figurines, anime character figurines, and game character figurines would all just be useless scrap metal.

Calling them scrap metal is even overestimating them.

After all, copper and iron still have some value; recycling centers would still buy them back at their basic value.

Many modern figurine/model kit materials are made from the lowest quality plastic, or are items that can be produced with 3D printing. Without the official license or IP logo, they are just pure, useless junk.

Therefore, the system task required the figurine/model kit he made to possess powerful and practical functions, making animal figurines Su Yu's new concept!

In his understanding, no animal in this world is useless.

If a contrarian were to hear his thoughts at this moment, he would definitely say, "Nonsense! Mosquito is useless! Cockroaches are useless too! Dung beetles are useless! Ant are useless!"

There are countless creatures in nature that are completely useless to humans.

But Su Yu didn't think so.

The existence of all things is inevitable.

Humans dislike Mosquito because, apart from biting people everywhere and spreading viruses, it is good for nothing.

But few people know that Mosquito actually possesses a natural special ability.

Through catching up on updates of Animal World during this period, Su Yu learned that Mosquito possesses a special "navigation" ability!

Have you ever noticed that Mosquito always likes to appear in the dead of night? When it's late and quiet, as soon as the lights are off, it can immediately fly around, buzzing. But when you get up and turn on the lights, you can't find any trace of them.

This is not because Mosquito has excellent eyesight and hides when it sees light.

Because Mosquito doesn't rely on vision to locate targets when biting people, but rather relies on indoor temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and scent to "navigate" itself.

The human body itself emits high heat, causing the surrounding temperature to rise, and breathing also produces a high concentration of carbon dioxide. All of these allow Mosquito to easily locate a person without relying on sight.

Moreover, scientific research shows that Mosquito's flying ability and resistance to extreme environments are among the best! Ranking at the top in the entire natural world!

So, imagine this.

If the blood-sucking problem that Mosquito causes for humans could be changed, wouldn't it be the undisputed best thermal sensing searcher in special extreme environments?

And it would be a purely natural, harmless biochemical product!

This is Su Yu's current idea, and it's also why he set his sights on animals.

"Streamer, why don't you make another set of the Nezha series figurine/model kit? We want to see the complete set!"

"If you want to harm Brother Su, just say so! These series figurines are all copyrighted! Is it something you can just make because you say you can? If Brother Su made them, he'd be sued and reported by those unscrupulous companies in minutes!"

"Exactly, exactly. Many people are watching the Streamer now, and they just want to seize this opportunity to make a fortune. I suggest the Streamer think carefully about the direction before starting."

"Right! We've already waited this many days, so a day or two more won't hurt. Brother Streamer, you think it through first! No matter what type of figurine/model kit you make, we'll support you!"

In the live broadcast room, seeing that Su Yu seemed to be lost in thought again, the audience was not in a hurry at this moment.

Words spoken are like water poured out.

Especially for a big Streamer like Su Yu, who has tens of millions of followers, since he made a promise in front of so many fans in the live broadcast room, everyone was no longer anxious.

Some fans even spontaneously organized a front to protect the Streamer.

The situation reversed in a second!

Soon, ten minutes passed... Su Yu still maintained his initial posture, deep in thought.

On the surface, he was thinking about what direction he should choose for the next figurine/model kit innovation and production. But in reality, he was secretly activating the autonomous skill exchange library, frantically searching for skills useful to him.

Su Yu's idea was very simple.

Since the system didn't strictly require him to make a specific type of figurine/model kit, he wanted to try out the technology of modifying creatures! Similar to bionic organisms!

No, that's not right! More accurately, it should be semi-technological organisms!

He clearly remembered a line Viktor once said in the game League of Legends: "The flesh is weak; mechanical ascension!"

If Mosquito could be transformed into a miniature technological creature, that would certainly be a new type of figurine/model kit!

And who said a Mosquito figurine/model kit couldn't be a figurine/model kit!

Purely natural, harmless, and no need to worry about any copyright issues! Finally, it could benefit humanity! And complete his task at the same time!

It was simply killing many birds with one stone!

As for the skills needed to modify the Mosquito creature, master-level surgery was essential! And specialized biological dissection skills could not be overlooked!

Neural connection, mechanical prosthetic modification, electronic sound wave control, specialized bioelectronics... Su Yu used the AI assistant Xiao Ai to roughly estimate. If he wanted to complete the modification of a bio-tech figurine/model kit, the various skills required would even be more than double what he needed when he hand-crafted the rocket model!

Simply put, if he wanted to accomplish this great feat, then his current five tens of thousands of prestige points would probably be almost entirely spent!

It wasn't because a single skill was too expensive.

But because the required skills were both expensive and numerous! Even with Su Yu's current worth, it wasn't quite enough.

So, should he take this gamble?!

If he proceeded conservatively, he could easily choose a new direction to complete the task.

But since he had already come up with such a brilliant design, Su Yu felt it would be a great pity if he couldn't complete it!

I'll go for it!

Gamble big, and a bicycle turns into a motorcycle!

Keeping so many prestige points wouldn't make them lay eggs. Instead of hoarding them, he might as well use them all at once!

Anyway, if the research truly succeeded, the prestige points he would gain would certainly not be small. At the very least, preserving his capital should not be an issue.

Thinking this, Su Yu gritted his teeth and directly emptied almost all of his prestige points in one go.

As the continuous "ding ding ding ding" sounds of successful skill exchanges rang in his mind, he only felt his brain gradually become heavy, and countless knowledge rushed into his mind like a flood.

Finally!

After the last "ding" ended, Su Yu felt his entire being relax, suddenly recovering from the state of frantically absorbing knowledge.

Slowly raising his head, no one noticed the flicker of wisdom in his eyes. And his perpetually pensive expression finally changed at this moment!
