Chapter 9: Ability and Constitution Enhancement
"Boss, it's really you, I thought I was dreaming!"
……
The first thing Lu Jiu said when he woke up was that he would not lose Yin Bu lightly. A man who has only known each other for two or three days dreamed that he should be unhappy or unhappy? Waiting online, it's in a hurry.
"Okay, don't be pretentious, tell me what's going on with your Thousand Bird Sharp Gun." Compared with those bad things about you, me, and me, Yin Buyi is more concerned about the lightning move used by Lu Jiu before, after all, in this last world, even a little more strength can make the chances of survival much greater.
"Chidori sharp spear? Oh! You mean the lightning ability just now, that's a long story, a long, long time ago......"
"Well, I've not been in a good mood lately, and I'm worried that if I listen to too much nonsense, will I go berserk and kill people." Without waiting for Lu Jiu to finish speaking, Yin Buqi interrupted, and shook the Wangshu sword in his hand by the way.
……
"Okay, then I'll make a long story short, I ate a mutant beast crystal nucleus."
Sure enough, after listening to Lu Jiu's words, Yin Buyi also confirmed his guess.
First of all, according to the routine of the post-apocalyptic novels I read before, eating the crystal nucleus can be strengthened. Besides, since zombies have crystal nuclei, there is no reason why mutant beasts don't.
According to his experience of fighting monsters all the way, the zombie crystal nucleus will not necessarily fall, just like playing online games, equipment is a chance to drop, and the quality of the dropped equipment directly depends on the strength of the monster. Thinking about it, the two-headed ogre before was a high-end product, so the quality of the crystal nucleus in its head was obviously higher than the zombie crystal nucleus that he dropped later when he fought the mob.
In other words, it is also true that killing mutant beasts to obtain crystal nuclei has a chance to drop, or a chance to drop if the strength is low. Swallowing the Zombie Nucleus strengthens your body's constitution, while swallowing the Mutant Beast Nucleus grants an ability, at least a chance.
Out of bold assumptions and a cautious attitude of verification, Yin Buyi patiently asked Lu Jiu about the details of his ability.
It is said that when Lu Jiu saw that Yin Buyi was dead, he took his equipment and left alone. On the way, the man had the bad luck to come across a golden mutant rat. According to Lu Jiu's description, Yin Buyi speculated that this mutant rat was likely to be the leader of the mutant rats just now.
The golden mutant rat was not only extremely fast, but it also released lightning. Lu Jiu is naturally a super brother in front of the golden mutant rat, and he will be abused in a few rounds. It's just that Lu Jiu, this kid, was very lucky, and he didn't know what kind of operation he used, so he actually got the golden mutant rat into a swimming pool. Then it leaked, and then there was no then.
When Lu Jiu said that the golden mutant rat electrocuted himself because of a power leak, Yin Buyi said, please bring me a car of such a second-class mutant rat.
Originally, it was over here, but he didn't expect Lu Jiu to want to taste the taste of rat meat, according to him, he had always regretted that he didn't go to Guangshi to taste the dried rats that were famous throughout the Xia Kingdom. Seeing the mutant rat that had been cooked by himself, Lu Jiu could no longer hold back the saliva that flew down three thousand feet, so he ate it. While eating rat meat, he stumbled upon a golden crystal. Lu Jiu secretly felt the call of this crystal to him, so he ate it together.
I have to say that Yin Buqi really admires Lu Jiu's courage, he swallowed the zombie crystal nucleus unconsciously at the beginning, and Lu Jiu was actually greedy for it. This kind of walking to pick up cheats, if you are not careful, there is an old grandfather to pass on the skills, shouldn't it be given to yourself as the protagonist, is there something wrong?
"Okay, I should be able to sort out the whole story, that is to say, you met Pikachu, and then it fell into the pool and electrocuted itself, and then you ate its crystal nucleus and turned into a humanoid Pikachu, and then you were chased and killed by Pikachu's little brother, that is, the four little Lada, yes!" Now that he knew the general situation of the matter, how could Yin Buqi continue to listen to Lu Jiu's chatter for a long time, and quickly summarized it for him.
“…… Pikachu, Little Lada! Well, you win, you're the boss who listens to you. Lu Jiu was also impressed by Yin Buyi's brain, what is this, he looked at the four purple-haired mutant mice on the ground, and thought about it carefully.
Based on Lu Jiu's ability and the ability of the golden mutant rat he described, Yin Buyi once again added a sentence to his inference: the awakened ability is likely to be related to the mutant beast itself, or the type of mutant beast's crystal nucleus.
Thinking of this, Yin Buqi immediately took out his Bikachu backpack, sorted out the materials inside, and threw it to Lu Jiu.
"I see that you have a relationship with Pikachu, this bag is rewarding you, and I will recover the previous bag and weapons."
“……”
Lu Jiu was completely speechless, what is this, why did I have a relationship with Pikachu, obviously you feel ashamed to carry this cartoon bag. And the corners of your mouth that are constantly twitching mean a few things, deliberately look at my joke, right?
Seeing Lu Jiu's expression like eating, Yin Buqi was completely relieved. Now that the grievances have dissipated, Yin Buyi will no longer hide it, and even tell Lu Jiu about his experience and speculation about the enhancement. Of course, the situation of being half human and half zombie still chose to conceal it, after all, this already involves the issue of the camp. The zombie camp is currently in an undying contradiction with the human camp.
Hearing Yin Buyi say that he ate the zombie crystal nucleus of the two-headed ogre that was killed by the two of them before, and his combat power skyrocketed, Lu Jiu regretted it, why did he go in such a hurry, haven't you read the novel, if you look for it at the time, maybe you will ...... it now Alas! Thinking about his broken ability again, he lost his strength after using it a little, and Lu Jiu once again showed an expression of eating.
And Yin Buyi saw this scene, and his heart was even more happy, making your kid ungrateful, making your kid treacherous, and letting your kid abandon ...... Well, no, it looks like there's some mess mixed in again. However, in the spirit of a comrade-in-arms, Yin Buyi still threw a zombie crystal nucleus that he hit to Lu Jiu.
This can move Lu Jiu badly, this boss still loves me. Without saying a word, Lu Jiu swallowed the zombie crystal nucleus. Then, in less than three seconds, with a burst of retching, he not only spit out the zombie crystal nucleus, but also spit out some pieces of meat.
……
This is probably that Pikachu's meat, looking at that pile of disgusting things, Yin Buqi thought to himself. Look at the zombie crystal nucleus in that pile of vomit, forget it, it's so disgusting, it's like feeding the pigs.
However, Yin Buqi also got a new speculation from this, either his half-human and half-zombie physique allows him to digest the zombie crystal nucleus, or the mutant beast crystal nucleus and the zombie crystal nucleus are repulsed, and the path of the mage and the warrior can only choose one of the two. If it's the latter, it's not a big problem, if it's the former, I've just invisibly exposed my identity.
Thinking of this, Yin Buqi looked at Lu Jiu again with a hint of murderous intent, his true situation must not be revealed in the slightest, this is no longer kind or unkind, once it is leaked, he is the public enemy of mankind. When the time comes, neither zombies nor humans will be able to tolerate themselves.
Feeling the unkindness in Yin Buyi's eyes, Lu Jiu immediately trembled. What's the situation, is the boss blaming me for not holding back and spitting out a piece of his heart? Or is the boss blaming me for wasting precious crystal nuclei? Or maybe the boss wants to ...... me Thinking of this, Lu Jiu immediately covered his ass with both hands, and looked at Yin Buyi with innocent eyes.
"Boss, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spit out a piece of your heart. But I really couldn't help it, as soon as I swallowed that zombie crystal nucleus, I felt a churning in my stomach and esophagus, and I really couldn't hold it back. You see, this zombie crystal nucleus should still be edible when taken out and washed. ”
Looking at Lu Jiu's slightly affected face, Yin Bu really couldn't do anything. And Lu Jiu didn't make any big mistakes, killing him would break through his moral bottom line.
"No, I guess the mutant beast crystal nucleus and the zombie crystal nucleus are incompatible. You have to keep the matter of the zombie crystal nucleus secret for me, and you can't mention it in front of anyone, if anyone suspects, just say that my ability is a physique enhancement, do you understand? And you don't have to be discouraged, since the zombie crystal nucleus can be taken many times to achieve the effect of continuing to strengthen, the mutant beast crystal nucleus should also be able to do so. ”
Looking at Yin Buyi's unprecedentedly serious expression, Lu Jiu also realized the importance of the problem, although he didn't understand the meaning of secrecy, the matter of swallowing the zombie crystal nucleus to strengthen his physique would be discovered sooner or later. But out of such a solemn request to Yin Buyi, Lu Jiu still agreed. As for the second half of Yin Bu's sentence, it also suddenly made Lu Jiu come to his senses.
Seeing the corpses of the four mutant rats on the ground, Lu Jiu's saliva flowed out again uncontrollably. The malaise just now disappeared immediately, and he ran over and started his great business of digging crystal nuclei.
It's just that to his disappointment, none of the four mutant rats this time actually had crystal nuclei, but thinking of that delicious rat meat, well, not to mention the real fragrance.
