Chapter 019: Exclusive Abilities

"Generally speaking, it is not necessary.

Although it is very rare for people with abilities to be able to activate their potential abilities in this junk star, it is common on planets above level 7.

Basically everyone is capable, except for slaves. But as I said earlier, there are certain people who have unique and exclusive abilities.

Exclusive abilities are very powerful, and they are also the owner's biggest secret. They will use this ability as a hole card in battle. ”

Turning his head, Jack smiled at Ye Chen and continued:

"Hole cards, do you understand? If someone finds out, the only way to go is to kill that person. So in order not to be killed by you, it is necessary for me to ask you first. ”

"......" Ye Chen smiled indifferently. I don't mind, and besides, I don't have what it takes to kill you. ”

But Ye Chen thought in his heart, I don't have it, but it doesn't mean that Kroll doesn't have it.

However, seeing that Jack had no murderous intentions towards him, Ye Chen did not show anything.

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows?"

After a while, the instrument heard the beep of the end of the analysis.

Jack glanced at it, slightly stunned. said, "Wait a minute. ”

"Have you already had a result?" Ye Chen looked at the screen above the instrument. There was a gleam of joy in his eyes.

But Jack was not as happy as he imagined, but a little troubled.

After retrieving the data again, he sighed.

shrugged his shoulders at Ye Chen. "Looks like I'm going to say I'm sorry."

"How?" Ye Chen was a little surprised.

"Detection failed." Jack reached out and put the instrument away. Stood up.

"Unfortunately, not everyone's abilities can be measured in depth with a portable instrument.

Some people's abilities are too deep to be measured only by relying on large instruments. But that's the technology of a Tier 7 planet. ”

"So I still can't know what I'm capable of?" Ye Chen couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Not really." Jack replied. "In fact, the purpose of testing blood is to know in advance what is the inherited ability in your DNA.

It's not about channeling your abilities. So if you want to know your ability, you can also guide it directly.

You're lucky that my detection device is portable, but I happen to have a boot potion by my side. ”

As he spoke, Jack groped around his body a few times and pulled out a purple needle.

Under the light of the campfire, the liquid in the injection shimmers with a violet jewel-like luster, which is very beautiful.

Looking at this injection, Ye Chen was slightly stunned, and then he felt that he was starting to get nervous, and his breathing was a little short.

He knew that this was not as simple as knowing his ability in advance, and if he used this injection, he would directly have the ability in Jack's mouth.

The kind that every person on a level 7 planet will have, and it can greatly enhance their abilities. How great is the temptation.

His heart began to beat faster, and he could even feel the inner armor of the creature in his body awaken on its own.

The Creature's inner armor had a strong thirst for the injection in front of him.

But there will be no free lunch in the world, Ye Chen knows this, he took a deep breath, and then looked at Jack in front of him.

"What conditions?."

Jack smiled. He threw the needle in his hand. Ye Chen caught it. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Direct injection, it takes 2 hours for the onset of potency. The ability to induce heredity in your DNA. Jack said lightly.

"This thing is very cheap for a cosmic mercenary. But for the people of this garbage planet, it is a precious item.

So although I don't care about this thing, and I look at you as pleasing to the eye, I can't give it to you in vain.

According to the rules of the Cosmic Mercenary, if you can become an official Cosmic Mercenary, then you must unconditionally help me complete a mission. ”

"Mission?" Ye Chen frowned.

"My personal affair this time. In fact, it is my qualification exam to become an official cosmic mercenary.

You don't need to know the specifics, I'm done now, I'm about to leave this planet, do you promise? ”

"......" Ye Chen fell silent, looked at the violet jewel-like injection in his hand, and slowly clenched his fists.

"I accept."

The night was getting darker. The roar of a mutant beast could be heard from outside the cave.

If it weren't for Jack placing something unknown at the entrance of the cave and isolating the movement inside the cave, I believe that this night would never have been peaceful.

However, this is only for Ye Chen.

As for Jack, he thinks he can definitely deal with the unexpected situation that this junk star mutant beast has appeared.

Ye Chen was destined not to be calm since he injected that injection into his body.

As the effects of the medicine set in, he only felt an unprecedented sharp pain coming from every inch of his body.

That kind of intense pain was enough to kill him many times before he had not undergone the Life Stone Transformation Body.

Regarding this side effect, Jack did not mention it.

He felt that if he couldn't bear the consequences of even injecting this basic medicine, Ye Chen would not be worthy of living, let alone become a cosmic mercenary.

Ye Chen's blood vessels, his nerves, his muscles, his bones.

Every inch and every minute made him moan in pain.

In this pain, even breathing seems to be a luxury.

He craned his neck desperately to take an extra breath of air, but to no avail.

The air entered his lungs like a burning flame, and he was in pain. ,

"If it hurts too much, I can knock you out." Jack's voice came from the side, and he approached Ye Chen, who was twitching on the ground. Look at him with pity.

"I've been through this process too. This is a side effect of common guidance agents. I'm sorry I don't have advanced boot potions. Although fainting can reduce pain, the inducing effect is not guaranteed. ”

"I ...... You can still endure ......" Swallowing a mouthful of air with difficulty, Ye Chen burst out a few words from between his teeth.

At this moment, his eyes were blood-red, and the blood spots on the whites of his eyes had expanded.

He could even feel that the inner armor of the creature in his body was also experiencing the effects of this potion.

But the pain experienced by the biological inner armor has to be borne by itself.

In other words, he's now going to suffer twice as much as an ordinary person, not twice as much as Jack takes for granted.

Moreover, the aggravation of pain is not a simple addition superposition, but an increase of several times, and every little bit of pain is like going to hell for Ye Chen.

But he gritted his teeth and refused to speak, and endured stubbornly, until the pain swallowed him up like a tide, and his fingers sank into the hard earth on the ground.

A glint of appreciation flashed in Jack's eyes. Turned and walked to the side.

It was only then that Ye Chen snorted in pain and spurted a large amount of blood from his mouth.

"The induction of shallow genetic abilities can be so painful, do you have exclusive abilities?" Looking at the blood that slowly seeped into the dirt, Jack smiled.

"Impossible...... You're not that lucky. ”

Time passed quickly, and the sky finally brightened a little.

At the moment when the sky had just dawned, the pain that had actually tormented Ye Chen all night quickly receded like a tide, as if it had never appeared.

"It's ...... My body? Looking at his hands, Ye Chen felt more relaxed than he had ever been. Ye Chen thought in surprise.

He tried to stretch his body, and immediately there was an unprecedented feeling of comfort in his body, as if the cells in his whole body were breathing, and his whole body was filled with greater strength.

"Congratulations on your successful breakthrough and induced success!" Jack's voice came from next to Ye Chen, and then a figure walked over.

"Doesn't it feel particularly good? Oh, don't rejoice too soon. That's just your natural reaction after going through too much pain.

But that doesn't mean you've really gotten a lot stronger. It's the ability that counts. Can you feel what you're capable of now?

Strength of the flesh, reflexes, speed, acuity, and sensitivity to certain things? ”

"......" Ye Chen followed Jack's hint for a moment and shook his head.

"No, there isn't."

"Isn't it flesh strengthening?" Jack thought for a moment.

"What about inductive control? Can you perceive what is about to happen, or can you mentally control the objects around you? ”

"No, not really."

"That's right......" Jack scratched his head. It's not physical strengthening, it's not sensory control, is it spiritual? In that case...... But you need some special environment......"

With a raised left hand, the gorgeous laser gun appeared in Jack's hand. "Please don't blame me."

"Wait, what are you going to do?" Ye Chen raised his head suddenly, just in time to see the muzzle of the black hole, and his pupils contracted suddenly.

Jack smiled. "What a miracle situation for you! Don't you think that miracles can only happen between life and death? ”

The gunshot rang out, and Jack's lightning-fast shooting speed made Ye Chen have no time to react. In an instant, the blood in Ye Chen's whole body seemed to be surging up to the top of his head.

A feeling of danger that had never been felt before suddenly clenched his heart.

He'd seen Jack's marksmanship. Once Ye Chen also imagined how to deal with such marksmanship if he faced it one day.

But I never thought that this day would come so quickly.

So deadly!

A bullet spun rapidly and drew a wonderful trajectory of ballistics, accurately shooting towards Ye Chen's face.

Ye Chen's spirit reached the highest point in his life in an instant under the stimulation of life and death.

Just feel that the whole world stops when there is a flower in front of me. Immediately after Ye Chen, he saw a laser gun bullet shooting at him.

But...... Wait a minute!

Why am I seeing??

Why can I see?

The velocity of a laser gun bullet should not be something that can be captured by the naked eye.

But why can I see it? Even its trajectory, the rotation out of the muzzle, the texture on the warhead, everything is clear.

And Jack's expression, why is his smile so stiff and unchanged now?

And most importantly, why is this bullet so slow??

Slow like a turtle, crawling slowly in the air little by little......

Isn't it a joke to want to hit yourself at such a speed? I just need to hide like this a little............

Wait, why is my body so heavy and so painful?

Why can't I move, why does my heart stop?

Why...... I can't even move my fingers??
