Chapter 11: The Magical Tech Tree
Looking at the dark green nucleus the size of a mango in his hand, Rare's first instinct was that it was a plant seed with a certain degree of autonomy.
It was taken from Masaki's back, densely veined between blood vessels and veins.
Like a pulse in the veins, the tubes are shrinking slightly, giving people the terrifying feeling of a living thing.
Moments later, a panel of the item appeared in Riel's mind.
【Name:Neuson E-14 Implant Core】
【Quality: White】
【Type: Implant】
[Weight: 1.2kg]
[Note: The technological crystallization of the Plant Order Federation is the core prop for implant transformation]
"Sure enough, it's the ...... of science and technology on the biological side"
According to Arrail's observations, there are no modern excavation machines in this mining area, and there are all kinds of bells and whistles such as [consciousness manipulation], [implant implantation], [biological tools] and [consciousness extension].
Rare already has a general idea of the game's worldview, which may be an alternative world where mechanical technology has been abandoned and biotechnology has been vigorously developed.
While Riel was researching the core of the implant, Sledgehammer quietly took Massaki's Tube Stick away.
This seemingly wooden rod is surprisingly heavy, much heavier than a solid iron rod of the same volume.
However, for the natural great-strength Sledgehammer, it is a light and handy gadget.
Due to the failure to meet the equipment requirements, the special effect of the Binding Stick cannot be played, and only the basic stats can be used, but it is still quite good to use it to fight the Stuffy Stick.
As Riel researched, the veins of the seed-like core suddenly spread out, piercing into Ariel's palm like a seed that had taken root and sprouted.
Rather than rushing to stop it, Riel calmly felt the changes in his body.
A vaguely existing power spreads through the nerves in his body like a stream, and Riel can intuitively feel that his various attributes are slowly increasing.
But soon Rare discovers that there is a spiritual force that is faintly affecting his brain, trying to implant some ideas into his mind.
This effect is so subtle that it is difficult for the average person to detect it.
Only Riel with the [Extreme Meme] property can feel this mental fluctuation.
However, because of the fact that everything is empty, not only was he not affected by it, but he extended his consciousness along this fluctuation, just like following a stream to trace the source, and Riel's consciousness passed through the barrier of space and found the source of the spiritual fluctuation.
It was a large tree-like white spiritual aggregate, and the branches emanating from the main trunk spread and stretched, extending into the infinite distance, communicating with countless beings.
Suddenly, this consciousness aggregate seemed to have discovered Rare's spiritual consciousness, and countless white branches gathered towards it, and the boundless and majestic spiritual power made Rare feel an incomparable gap!
With a sharp pull, Riel ripped off the core of the implant that was connected to some of the blood vessels.
For a moment, his consciousness returned to the real world in front of him.
With blood dripping from his hands, Riel thought thoughtfully.
"Northon ontology? Is the maternal and implant consciousness connected...... That guy seems to have spotted me. ”
Suddenly, a message pops up in Riel's mind.
[Exploring the Secrets of the World [Source of Phytochemistry], General XP +750]
Looking at this message, Riel smiled slightly.
"Exploring the secrets of the game world and getting extra rewards? The gameplay is good, and I'm finally getting the universal experience......"
Riel only had a little over a thousand experience on hand, which was still not enough for the 3,000 experience needed to level up creatures.
In order to improve his strength to deal with the next possible situation, Riel did not hesitate to use his valuable general experience to upgrade the [Miner] class to level 4.
There is not a lot of experience required to upgrade the zero-level profession, and the miner is a special professional job, and the amount of experience required to upgrade in the zero-tier profession is also relatively small, and upgrading from level 2 to level 4 only consumes 700 general experience of Riel.
After reaching level 4, Riel gains 1 CON and 1 Strength attribute, as well as an additional 1 skill point for the Miner class.
However, the [Miner] profession seems to be a skill of [mining], and according to the skill description, it seems to be able to increase the mining speed......
Riel didn't bother to grind, so he added it directly, hoping that he wouldn't need it in the future......
The core that fell to the ground fell into a state of slumber because it was not replenished by the host's energy.
It was of some use to Riel, and he casually slipped it into his freshly captured backpack.
【Name:Muir brand carrying case】
【Quality: White】
【Type: Storage】
[Equipment Requirements: Spirit 12.0]
[Base Attribute: Provides 6.00 storage space]
[Special Effect: None]
[Weight: 1.8kg + storage weight]
[Note: The technological crystallization of the Plant Order Federation effectively solves the problem of carry-on items.] If you are wondering about the science, it is recommended that you quickly thrash your lower body to relieve the symptoms of idle egg pain. 】
There's no doubt that some of the things in the game are just a matter of use, so there's no need to dwell too much on them, because no matter how realistic it looks, it's just a game.
This backpack looks the size of a children's backpack, but it can fit a shovel more than a meter long.
With the core thrown in, the backpack space takes up 0.01.
When Riel drops the shovel in, the backpack takes up 0.25 space.
This kind of calculation rule is not even understood by Ariel.
Anyway, the technology here is amazing.
……
The dark red eyeball-like fruit transmitted a group of images into the mind of a young man in blue.
"Looking" at Masakaki, who was defeated by Riel, Busterd's face showed a look of disbelief.
"This ...... How is this possible! He actually beat my best dog! That's a first-class dog that can stand out from the 100 inferior dogs that have been transformed! To be defeated by this miscellaneous ore species, damn it, my good dog! Damn it, ruined by this abominable brute! ”
His face showed an incomparably real look of pain.
This is not a sad play by a rabbit and a fox, but a true feeling of property loss.
An elite guard like Masaki is nothing compared to the inferior overseers who can be replaced at any time, and it will cost a fortune to get supplies from the transformation center.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and a look of panic appeared on his face.
"Wait, is this guy a rank that can't be brought in? That's a problem......"
As if to confirm something, he carefully observed Riel for a moment, and then muttered to himself in relief.
"No, 9970629, this guy is just a fifth-class miner! Yes, I remember! He was already mining when I came here, and he couldn't have gotten in from the Impossible Zone! What went wrong......"
His thoughts were racing rapidly, and the young man's eyes shone with wisdom, and he seemed to have received a wonderful correct answer.
"Isn't he?!Is he the legendary [Awakened]!"
Although Basted is now only a mine supervisor, he has a high blood in his veins.
Relying on the light of this bloodline, he received a superior education, and he also received some admonitions from his biological father, and was able to touch some secrets of the world that inferior people could not understand.
The Awoken is one of them.
It is said that in this world, there are people who suddenly awaken to extraordinary talents and possess incredible powers.
There are even rumors that these people have the terrifying ability to come back from the dead!
At this moment, Basted wailed as if he were in mourning.
"How can I be so unlucky! Damn, it's bad enough to be in a place like this, and you actually bumped into a guy who seems to be an awakened person...... Forget it, get out of my mine, don't bother to care about you! ”
