Volume 1: The Inside and Outside of the World 071 The Future Development Direction of the Poplar Tree

After the boss left, Yang Shu also put his mind at ease, kept the power of fantasy in mind, and began to look at his existing three abilities, and seriously thought about the development route.

At the moment, his ability mix is reasonable.

[Sailor Moon Transformation (Physics)] provides a strong basic physical fitness bonus, allowing him to occupy a greater advantage in close combat, although the change of clothing and appearance will bring a certain amount of discomfort, but it is not a problem, and there is even a little excitement.

[Fist of Love and Hate], which only cost 600 points, provided Poplar with explosive turnaround ability and the ability to damage spirits, which greatly exceeded his expectations, and even hid the ability of "Pure White Fist", which can be called a nirvana.

[Ice Heart] increases Poplar's mental resistance, which is particularly important, because his special supernatural energy nature makes him much less resistant to mental intervention than ordinary operators, and [Ice Heart] just makes up for this shortcoming, and can also cooperate with emotion-related abilities.

Regarding the future development, Poplar has also made some decisions after considering this period of time.

First, completely abandon the bells and whistles of spell casting. Due to the innate lack of native magic power, Poplar does not have the ability to cast spells, so he is completely confused about the combat methods and spellcasting skills of the magic system, and forcibly using the ability to obtain the casting ability is just the icing on the cake. The shortcomings in long-range combat can be compensated for by improving athleticism and using equipment.

Second, keep the current ability combination structure, and use the fourth ability slot to exchange for some emergency utilities, such as the Old School Repair Method.

Third, master at least one cold weapon. Due to some unknown reasons, it is difficult for supernatural energy blessings to take effect on technological creations, and at most they can enchant bullets, so the battles of high-level superpowers are mainly carried out through spellcasting, fists and kicks, or cold weapons, and there are few operators who rely on technology for frontal combat.

"The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, the sword is the courage of a hundred soldiers, the stick is the master of a hundred soldiers, and the gun is the hegemony of a hundred soldiers······" Yang Shu recalled what Chu Qiu had introduced about cold weapons in the superpower world general knowledge lecture hall.

"There are too many people who use swords, exclude, use sticks to look like monks, exclude, if you use guns, 'moon stick year knife for a lifetime gun', it is estimated that it is too difficult to be proficient, exclude. ”

"It's up to you!" After some thought, Poplar made a decision, exited the ability interface, and returned to reality.

"Knife coming!" Poplar raised his right hand high, his right fist clenched in a void, and shouted, while mobilizing the original magic power to condense the energy arm.

Medium 2 +20

A three-foot-long black knife gradually took shape in his right hand, modeled after a Tang knife, and the body of the knife was engraved with two ancient Chinese characters - Ming Hong.

"Hum!" After the energy armament was condensed, he slashed down with the knife in his right hand, the blade trembled and made a buzzing sound, and a cold light shot out from the blade, leaving a shallow groove on the floor tiles.

"Hmph, the knife is a good knife, but the knife head is a little old. Poplar stood in front of him with his knife in his hand, carefully examining it, and there were words in his mouth.

Medium 2 +20

After trying several other knife styles one after another, he never found the type that suited him, so he disbanded the black knife in his hand and returned to the ability interface.

"[Fist of Love and Hate] is easy to use, but its overall strength is still too low, and it has 1545 points at the moment, so you might as well exchange it for an ability of the same type. He thought so.

"Search conditions: Similar to the effect of [Fist of Love and Hate], the consumption of the middle two values is above 1000 points and below 1400 points. ”

The list in front of him fluctuated for a while, and there were only a dozen abilities left, and after he picked them, there were only four alternatives left.

[Small Universe]: There is a ······ hidden in your body A cosmic energy that is not particularly large, and your heart, spirit, soul, and energy can stimulate it and help you defeat your enemies. (Burst seeds, boy!) Medium 2 value: 1200

[α - The Power of Belief]: Your firm belief can generate great power to help you accomplish the impossible. Middle two values: 1300

[Lust for sin]: You can sense the negative emotions of others and turn them into your own energy, but remember that when you use sin, sin is also using you. Middle two values: 1350

Sage: Your noble character and deeds bring you endless power, but once you are defiled, this power will also judge you together. Middle two values: 1400

Poplar looked at these four abilities and fell into deep thought, and I have to say that each one is full of B and fashionable······ No, each of them is powerful and powerful.

But at the end of the day, you have to make a choice.

"The words of [Tiny Universe]······ It's a pity that I don't know the Pegasus Meteor Fist, otherwise I would have redeemed it. ”

"[Sinthirst] and [Sage] are easy to use, but they both have obvious flaws, and they will even eat themselves. ”

"Although the description of [α-Power of Belief] is very vague, there is also a one-stop service of [β-Power of Belief] and [γ-Power of Belief] in the follow-up. ”

Poplar clenched his right hand into a fist, knocked it on the palm of his left hand, and made up his mind.

"Exchange [α-Power of Faith] for [Fist of Love and Hate]. ”

Then, he switched to the ability enhancement page, and the second human form in the dodecahedron with its fists glowing with colorful light was replaced by another person with silver and white light and shadow wrapped all over his body, and it seemed that this was the manifestation of [α-Power of Faith].

Exiting the Ability Grocery Store, in reality, Poplar thought, "Activate [α-Power of Faith]." ”

An extremely faint silver-white light and shadow emerged from his body, swaying slightly, emitting a faint white light, while the poplar felt an extra layer of things around his body, and there was a sense of actual contact.

"This thing must be the so-called power of faith, right?" Poplar muttered to himself as he touched the silvery light and shadow around his body.

The power of belief is recorded in the database of the Federation, and the power of belief is generated by people's firm will and strong spiritual power, which can strengthen people's abilities almost unlimitedly, but the power of belief that individuals can produce in the natural state is very small, and cannot exist in the form of matter, and when the power of belief of a large number of people gathers, it will produce embodied white light and shadow, which is difficult to use.

It is said that it is difficult to use, but it is not absolute, some secret monks in the Yanhuang Kingdom, religious organizations in Europe, and some supernatural people all know how to collect and use the power of faith, and it is also recorded in the database of the Federation, but special permission is required to query.

Poplar threw two punches at the air in front of him, and found that when punching, the power of belief would be integrated into the muscle fibers, strengthening explosiveness while reducing muscle damage, and counteracting some of the inertia.

He tried to attack himself with the energy blast again, and found that most of the energy was absorbed by the thin layer of faith power, and only a small part was transmitted to the body, which did not cause much damage.

However, if this is the only function, it is clear that the effect of [α-Faith Power] is not as good as "helping you accomplish the impossible" as described in the description, and there must be other hidden functions that have not been discovered.

Suddenly, the thinking poplar felt a feeling of dizziness in his head, and he immediately stopped [α-Power of Belief], and the dizziness was reduced a little, it seems that the use of this ability requires mental energy.

After aborting the ability, his head was still groggy, and he lost the interest in experimenting, and after washing up, he lay down on the bed.

In fact, the vast majority of abilities are not created out of nothing, but have various limitations, or short duration, or overdraft vitality, mental power, and even consume luck and life, the so-called abilities are only because the principle behind them is unclear, and cannot be explained by the existing technology or supernatural power system, and they are not all unreasonable "rules".

However, there are also quite a few abilities that do break the existing rules, such as Gravity Control, Vector Manipulation, and Gold Experience······ There are many abilities, but they only cost a very small part of their mental power in exchange for enough power to change the order. ”

In his sleep, Yang Shu returned to Chu Qiu's superpower world knowledge lecture hall.

This once again shows that the world is chaotic and ruleless to a considerable extent. Chu Qiu once again showed a disgusted expression, the same reaction he had when he mentioned the last time he mentioned that he could generate energy weapons just by imagining.

"Ahh

"How could I dream of Chu Qiu?!" he held his head, once again falling into the contradiction of self-denial.

······

In CQ City, a group of people are gathering in an abandoned factory in JN Ward.

They were all covered in a black robe, and their exposed eyes burned with a feverish light, and they knelt and prayed around the towering cross, and on the cross, a beautiful maiden was tied upside down, who was now unconscious.

One of the leading men stepped forward, armed with a blood-dripping knife, and he shouted in a sharp voice: "O great demon god, O Kazasadi, please accept our sacrifices, and we will please you with flesh and soul!

He then slashed his wrist with a sharp knife, allowing the blood to flow and drip to the ground.

Others, following suit, cut their wrists and bled profusely.

Soon, the floor of the factory was dyed blood-colored, and along the grooves carved in the ground, a huge blood-colored magic array gradually took shape, flashing with light.

The girl woke up, and she let out a cry of horror as she looked at the frantic crowd in front of her.

"Qazadi, do you hear me!, come and collect this sweet death and despair!" shouted the leader, walking step by step towards the maiden.

The girl writhed and struggled, and the despair in her eyes became thicker and thicker.

The magic array erupted with a burst of bright light, and three huge heads rose from the ground.
