Chapter 704: [Quest Begins]
Tire nodded, and a moment later he found the parasite armor and shared it on the team channel.
Parasite armor, B+-level item, 6,500 points. It is parasitic in the host, relying on the host's energy supply to improve the host's combat strength, but the combat effectiveness depends on the degree of genetic compatibility with the host, which fluctuates greatly up and down. The combat mode is to change the shape of the cells according to the will of the host, form weapons and armor, and when the activity is sufficient, you can rely on your own somatic cells to repair the damage suffered by the host.
"This thing...... Have you seen it?" Tire glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "Even I have never heard of this unpopular thing, if I don't search for it with keywords, I can't find its existence." Does it work?"
Chen Xiaolian nodded: "At the end of the world, Blue Ocean picked up one. Because the degree of genetic compatibility is very high, the effect is very good. It's just that because his body has not been strengthened, his ability to continue fighting is very poor. Zhao Yun also said that this thing is very rare. Probably because it's too expensive and can't guarantee 100% use, almost no one will exchange it. ”
"You want to gamble?" Tire frowned: "The problem is, the probability of Xia Xiaolei and the parasite armor being a high degree of genetic compatibility should not be great, right? Otherwise, this thing is unlikely to be so unpopular, and I haven't seen a few people use it so far." ”
"I mainly value its self-healing ability. Chen Xiaolian smiled: "As long as it is not an immediate fatal injury, with sufficient energy intake, it can recover on its own." Xia Xiaolei, what do you think?"
"I ...... I'm okay with that. Xia Xiaolei whispered.
"Alright, so be it. Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Buy." ”
A flash of light flashed, and a spike appeared in Xia Xiaolei's hand.
"Don't resist, don't be afraid, just wait quietly for the parasitism to complete. ”
As soon as Chen Xiaolian's words fell, several tentacles had already appeared at the bottom of the spikes, stabbing towards Xia Xiaolei's heart.
Although he was a little nervous in his heart, the head of the small face had already said that there was no need to worry, Xia Xiaolei still sat in place with his head stubborn, watching the spikes pierce into his body.
The stinging pain was only a slight burst, but watching the thick spikes of the baby's arm burrow deep into his body still made Xia Xiaolei a little creepy. Fortunately, it was only a matter of moments, and he was already black in front of his eyes and unconscious.
Everyone looked down at Xia Xiaolei and watched him gradually close his eyes, and his expression gradually returned to calm.
"How many points do we have left?" Chen Xiaolian said to the tires: "The 17,000 points transferred just now, 1,000 are used to upgrade Xia Xiaolei's skills, and after the parasite armor is discounted, it is 4,875 points, and there are 11,125 points left." What do we do with these points?"
"I've thought about it. Tire immediately said: "My skills are mainly hand-to-hand combat melee combat, and Tire is containment." The self-protection ability of the two of us is enough, and no matter how much we improve in the short term, it will not have much effect. On the contrary, what we continue to improve now is the ability to output in engagements. From a team point of view, I think it would be better to use it on Roddy. ”
"Have you found the right exchange?"
"While you're away, I've carefully read the mechanical heart's skill description. Tire nodded slowly: "Unlike Xia Xiaolei, who only has skills that are simply differentiated by level, Luo Di's mechanical heart is not divided by 'skill level', but has four branch options."
The first is the control level points, the higher the points, the higher the level of the target items that can be controlled.
The second is the control speed points, the higher the points, the shorter the time it takes to crack the defense of the target item and successfully control it.
The third is to control the coordination points, the higher the points, the more handy it will be when manipulating. Well, to use a line from a long-ago masterpiece anime, the higher the synchronization rate, the more powerful it can be.
Fourth, the higher the number of points, the longer it will take to control the target object with the Machine Heart, and the shorter the cooldown time after use.
When obtaining the Heart of the Machine, the system randomly assigns four points, which add up to roughly one range. After that, the upgrade is to buy points to exchange for skill points, and every 10 points purchased are corresponding to 1 skill point. ”
"It's so complicated?!" Roddy's eyes widened, "I never knew that before." ”
"After all, you don't have a personal exchange system, and it's normal not to see it. Tire smiled: "You have lost your float now, and your personal combat power has dropped a lot." Although he also has a certain combat strength by controlling the four sentinel mechas, it is not as good as before after all. The mecha obtained from the Tokyo dungeon was too short for a short time limit, and it could only be used as a life-saving killer weapon before. Right now...... I hope it will become your regular weapon. ”
"Redemption control lasts points, huh?" Roddy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't believe that this kind of good thing happened suddenly: "Meaning...... I can always fight with my mech in the future?!"
"I don't quite believe that this 10,000-odd point of investment in you will be able to elevate you to the point where you can control that mecha all the time. Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "What's more, it's impossible for us to use all the points on you this time." Tire spare tire Kiki Hidehide, they also need some reinforcement ......"
"Commander......"
Xia Xiaolei's weak voice sounded from behind him, Chen Xiaolian turned his head in shock, and looked at him in disbelief: "You...... Are you awake?!"
"What's the matter, you hope that he won't wake up?" Luo Di smiled: "Xia Xiaolei, the head of the regiment seems to be uneasy and kind to you to exchange this thing." ”
"How can it be so fast...... It's faster than the blue ocean one!" Chen Xiaolian explained in a low voice: "Zhao Yun once said that a simple way to judge the degree of genetic fitness is to look at the time spent on implantation. Lan Hai that time, it took about fifteen minutes to wake up, and it was already considered by Zhao Yun to be as fast as she had never seen before. And this time ......"
"Xia Xiaolei only took less than five minutes!" Luo Di slapped his thigh hard: "Isn't his adaptability off the charts?!Come on, Xiaolei, show us!"
"Show ......?" Xia Xiaolei stood up stunned and shook his head: "I...... I don't know how to use it. ”
"What do you mean? After you were parasitic by the parasite armor, the system didn't give you a hint?" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "The blue ocean at the end of the world is an ordinary person, he has figured out how to use the parasite armor without the system's prompts, how can you not know how to use it?"
"But I really don't know how to use it!" Xia Xiaolei cried with a sad face: "I just woke up, and I only received a sentence prompted by the system!] [The parasite armor has been implanted, and the genetic fit is 97.83%, and it is being cleaned up due to the detection of unknown foreign gene components. Cleanup Progress: Unknown. 】”
"Unknown foreign gene components?" Chen Xiaolian's heart sank: "How can there be foreign genes in your body?"
"I don't know!" Xia Xiaolei said with a bitter face: "I can indeed feel some more things in my body, like tentacles, but there is no change in my personal interface, and I can't command those things in my body to make any movements......"
"What the hell!" Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and took out a dagger: "Xiaolei, come here." ”
"Hey, little face, what are you doing!" Luo Di exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Even if the parasite armor doesn't take effect, you can't kill Xia Xiaolei to vent your anger!"
"Shut up!" Chen Xiaolian glared at Luo Di, pulled Xia Xiaolei over, and the dagger lightly slashed on his arm: "Don't be afraid, I'll try your self-healing ability." ”
Xia Xiaolei's face shrunk into a ball, and from his squinted eyes, he looked down to see the blade entering the flesh, but there was no trace of blood flowing out, as if the dagger was not inserted into the arm, but into a ball of dough.
And as Chen Xiaolian's blade slashed, the wound that had just been cut was instantly healed!
Wherever the blade went, the muscles were severed, but in just a second, the wound in the back had healed. This self-healing speed is simply appalling!
"Commander, this ......" Xia Xiaolei looked at his arm, already dumbfounded.
"I'm very shallow, don't worry. Chen Xiaolian put away the dagger and looked at Xia Xiaolei: "Does it hurt?"
"A little bit ......" Xia Xiaolei thought for a while, and whispered: "It's a little heavier than a mosquito bite, just enough to feel it." ”
I said...... Do you want to play bigger?" Luo Di touched his chin and looked at Xia Xiaolei with a grin: "Do you dare?"
"Hey, Roddy!" Chen Xiaolian glared at Roddy.
"Commander, I'...... I want to give it a try. Xia Xiaolei bit his lip.
"Hey, I'll just say, although this kid is not strong, his backbone is not small. Luo Di rubbed his hands and stood up, took out a laser pistol, and aimed it at Xia Xiaolei's head.
"It's not here!" Xia Xiaolei hurriedly shrank his head and looked at Luo Di in horror: "What if I really die!"
"Hahahahahaha
The beam of light easily pierced Xia Xiaolei's chest, but in the same way, just like the knife wound drawn by Chen Xiaolian just now, there was not even any blood flowing out, and it had healed in a moment.
"No...... Immortal?" Roddy's mouth opened wide, his jaw almost dropping.
"It's very resilient, much stronger than Blue Ocean was back then. Chen Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction.
"But why can't I use other skills......" Xia Xiaolei made a bitter face: "I only have the ability to recover, and I don't have the ability to attack, won't I become a sandbag?"
Chen Xiaolian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The parasite armor has indeed taken effect, but it can't accept your control. It felt like ......"
"It's like a computer is turned on, and all the resources are occupied by a process, and it enters a state of suspended animation, so no matter how the mouse and keyboard move, there is no response on the screen!" Roddy's eyes lit up and he interjected.
"That's right. Chen Xiaolian nodded: "So as long as the process can be terminated, this computer can work again." ”
According to Xia Xiaolei's description, this process is the so-called cleaning up of foreign genetic components. But...... What the hell is that goddamn alien gene!" Roddy scratched his ears and cheeks.
"Genetic...... Gene ......" Chen Xiaolian frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Tokyo copy!"
"I also suspect it might be this. Tire nodded in agreement: "At that time, the six of us took the route of the biochemical faction together, and you and Roddy took the route of the mechanical faction, and both of them ended up receiving the task rewards. The reward of the mechanical faction is Luo Di's mecha, and the reward of the biochemical faction is called the Enhancement Potion, and Xia Xiaolei also injected that thing!"
"I can't confirm it, but it's very likely. Chen Xiaolian sighed: "The foreign gene in Xia Xiaolei's body should be this thing." The parasite armor is also a prop that improves the user's ability from the genetic level. Just like a computer can't install two antivirus software at the same time, these two props are now in Xia Xiaolei's body, interfering with each other. ”
"That'...... Then what should I do?!" Xia Xiaolei's face turned red: "That parasite armor...... Isn't it useless?"
"Not yet. Chen Xiaolian shook his head slowly: "At least your self-healing ability has been improved to an amazing level. This means that while it can't be used actively, its passive properties can still play a role. The only question is how long it will take for the parasite armor to clear your body of the Breeding Elixir. What was the reinforcement you chose at the time?"
"Improve the physique of one level, from D- to D......" Xia Xiaolei finished speaking, and looked at Chen Xiaolian cautiously: "This ...... Is there a difference?"
"It's just speculation, but I think it might be a bit more troublesome if you choose to activate the infinite proliferation attribute. Chen Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief: "At least for now, your improved physique can be slowly lowered again, so that these two forces will not be able to fight in your body all the time." Leave it alone now, at least you'll have a hard time getting killed. Next, proceed to the redemption first. ”
"Good. Xia Xiaolei nodded honestly.
According to Chen Xiaolian's instructions, Xia Xiaolei used 8,000 points of the 11,125 points on hand to buy the upgrade of the mechanical heart skill for Luo Di, and invested all of them in the control of the continuous points. After playing seven or five folds, Roddy got 1066 points for a long time.
As a result, the time that Roddy was able to manipulate the mech was suddenly increased from 18 seconds to 5 minutes, and the cooldown time was reduced from 24 hours to 4 hours.
When he saw the huge improvement from his personal system, Roddy was so excited that he almost jumped out of the window of his room.
Although it still can't be counted as a conventional weapon, at least it is no longer counted by seconds every time it is used.
As for the remaining points, Chen Xiaolian asked Xia Xiaolei to buy three protective props called guardian lanterns, each with 1,000 points.
B-level guardian lanterns, as long as they are held, do not need to be manually activated, they can automatically turn on when they take fatal damage, and they are immune to all attacks below B-level for 15 minutes.
However, the biggest flaw of this guardian lantern is that it can only be used once. Once activated, it will be scrapped and can no longer be used, regardless of whether it has been attacked within 15 minutes.
Chen Xiaolian handed over the three guardian lanterns to Xia Xiaolei, Qimuxi and Xiuxiu respectively. Xia Xiaolei and Qi Muxi are still newcomers, while Xiuxiu has strong Fire Phoenix skills, but she has no defensive skills, and Chen Xiaolian is also worried that her mental state is not stable enough, and she doesn't know when she will change back to that little Lori's personality.
After this preparation, the 20,000 points just earned have almost been spent cleanly, but the strength of the meteorite team has finally improved by leaps and bounds and has reached a new level.
......
The remaining time of the system timer has finally come to an end.
Chen Xiaolian and all the members of the Meteorite Clan stood in the room and glanced at each other.
"Let's go, the dungeon begins!"
