73. Viral infection

"Old Feng, how is this helmet?"

The big pineapple happily changed into a new helmet, this helmet is a bit strange, with a blue-brown python head on it, and it is covered with scales up close, which looks like the head of the scepter of the Egyptian pharaoh.

However, the big pineapple obviously doesn't care, because the attributes of this helmet are really good, not only has a defense coefficient of up to C-, but also has 2% all-attribute energy defense.

"It's okay!"

Fengluo replied.

When he said this, he felt that something was wrong with his voice, and his body seemed to be a little hot.

"Huh? Lao Feng, why is your face not very good, it can't be that you are sick. ”

Big Pineapple also noticed that something was wrong with the wind at this time, and leaned over to him and asked.

There is also a "sick" state in the game, and if the player stays in the extreme environment continuously, he may experience a decrease in physical strength, dizziness and weakness.

In this state, the player's doctor profession cannot be solved, and you have to go back to the city to find an NPC doctor or endure until the sick state disappears.

Fengluo's face was now pale, his voice was hoarse, and his body began to heat at the same time, much like a sign of illness.

"Check your physical condition!"

After thinking about it, Fengluo ordered the personal terminal with his voice.

The personal terminal provided by the federal government to adventurers has tiny nanoprobes on it that can check the physical condition, and can even cooperate with the biochips in the body to check the state of blood and even cells in the body in detail.

Then, approximately one minute after the inspection program was activated, a red warning sign suddenly flashed on the personal terminal.

"Warning, detected that your body has been infected by an unrecognized virus, the type of virus...... If you can't recognize it, please seek medical attention as soon as possible for your good health. Recommended Hospital: Stormwind City General Hospital, Grade: First Class A, with 37 expert doctors......"

"Unknown virus infection? What's going on! ”

Fengluo was startled and hurriedly looked through the system logs during this time.

["You have been attacked by an infected mutant python and infected by a mutant virus. Time remaining to complete infection: six hours. Prediction of Infection Result: 50% chance, permanently increase all basic attributes by 2 points; 50% chance to permanently lose 2 of all base attributes! ”】

This look made Fengluo's heart cold.

The basic stats of players in the game have increased, and generally only through upgrades and equipment.

But in addition to this, there are some special cases.

Half a month after the launch of "War Chronicles", a player on the forum broke the news that he had obtained a permanent "strength +3" attribute because he took a potion in a story mission.

Then the post went viral, and there were a number of player replies below that had increased their stats in other ways.

At that time, players will know that in this game, the basic stats can be permanently increased in some cases, not only through upgrades and equipment.

Of course, there are those who have increased and those who have decreased.

Players often complain in the forums in frustration, saying that their attributes have been permanently reduced for some reason, and ask the game company to restore their attributes.

However, Tianxing Company did not agree to such requests.

Customer service has always been a standard reply, "War Chronicles" is a game with a high degree of freedom, and the attribute problems caused by various reasons in the game have to be solved by the players themselves!

Fengluo also reported that I read the post before I was in a lively mood, and for those whose attributes increased, they were naturally envious, jealous and hateful, and those who decreased their attributes were gloating.

But I didn't expect it to be my turn this time.

A 50% chance, half of a half, doesn't look like it's going to be a loss.

But in fact, with Fengluo's character, even if there is a 90% chance of increasing attributes, and only a 10% chance of decreasing attributes, then he is not very willing to try.

He prefers to be able to stay on top of his role, but right now, the situation is out of control.

"Ah, I found it. Sure enough, there is an evolutionary virus in the blood of this python! However, it should be a virus that has mutated many times, and the blood of this python is very valuable for research, so we have to collect some! ”

At this time, the middle-aged scientist suddenly said loudly, and said to his young assistant in a very excited tone.

"The virus in Monty Python's blood, this virus in my body?"

Fengluo's heart moved.

At this time, he remembered that this scientist named Eck, who was an expert in genetics and virology in the previous introduction of the Red Queen, and listening to what he said just now, his mission here should be related to "evolving viruses"!

"Evolution virus, judging from the name, it stands to reason that it should be an increase in attributes, right, how can there be a result of reducing attributes?"

However, the word "virus" itself does not mean much, and it seems reasonable that there will be a side effect. ”

"As this Eke is an expert in NPC virology, and it seems that he has research on this evolutionary virus, will he be able to solve my problems?"

"Wait, could this be a hidden mission?"

Fengluo's heart turned a few times, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that being infected by a virus is actually a kind of hidden quest, and after the player is infected, he communicates with NPCs to trigger the hidden quest process?

The more Fengluo thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility.

Genetic and virology experts, evolutionary viruses, no matter how you look at it, are related.

Moreover, all basic attributes are 2 points!

You must know that in "War Chronicles", there is only one free attribute for each level of promotion, and each level of promotion is the full basic attribute of "strength, agility, intelligence, and physique" +1.

Two points of all attributes, almost equivalent to two levels of attributes, if it is really permanently reduced, it is really too much loss.

"Mr. Ek, I don't know what evolutionary virus you are talking about. The terminal has detected that my body is infected with an unrecognized virus, so it can't be the evolutionary virus you said, right? ”

Making a judgment in his heart, Fengluo immediately spoke.

"What?"

When Ike heard this, his face turned pale.

However, a sure look flashed under the black-rimmed glasses of the girl named Lin, so it seems that the reason why she stared at Fengluo with a strange face just now was because she had already discovered the problem.

"How are you feeling right now?"

Eke quickly got up from the python and walked over.

"My throat is uncomfortable, and my whole body is hot!"

Windfall is becoming more and more certain that this could really be a hidden mission!

"I'm going to get some of your blood for a test!"

Ek's face was serious, and he immediately opened the box and took out a small syringe from inside.

"Damn, old wind, what's going on? It depends on the situation, it's a hidden mission, you sent it! ”

In the team channel, Big Pineapple said with envy in his voice.

"yes, I did. The system prompts that if you are infected with this virus, there is a 50% chance that all attributes will be +2! ”

Fengluo smiled and deliberately only said the first half.

When everyone heard this, their faces were all happy, and they turned their heads to look at the blood of the giant python on the ground.

"There is also a 50% chance that all stats will be -2!" Fengluo only said the second half at this time.

"......" everyone's faces were blank.

Half and half of the probability, it's not a bad thing, but if they had to choose, they would definitely be unwilling.

The main thing is to increase the 8 basic attributes, and it is impossible to say that it is much better than the master players, but once the 8 basic attributes are reduced, it feels like it is weaker than ordinary players.

"Let's see what the NPCs have to say. Excuse me, Mr. Wind! ”

The Red Queen spoke, after all, although it may be that Fengluo triggered the hidden mission, but in the game "War", triggering the mission does not mean that the task can also be completed.

If Fengluo loses her attributes because of this, then she must be a little unhappy, because for players of their level, even one attribute point is very important.

So she apologized first.
