Chapter 16: The Crown of Thorns

"If you can equip another Z-level Anomaly core, go to the Anomaly Core Mall and buy one."

It's also time to think about how to use the huge amount of LOB points you've earned today.

"225 lob points were gained today, plus the remaining 12 lob points from earlier, for a total of 237 lob points."

"How do you use itΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· By the way, the system, is there anything like 'Lounge' that costs lob points to unlock? ”

[Searching, please wait.] 】

[Search complete, as far as you are concerned, there is none.] 】

"What do you mean by 'as far as you are concerned'?"

[Your current Anomaly level is too low, and you don't have the right to unlock it.] 】

"Okay."

Jiang Hai pouted, some spaces still need a certain level of fantasy to unlock, is this mocking it for being only T-level now?

"So, is there anything like the 'Anomaly Database' you mentioned earlier?"

[Searching, please wait.] 】

[Search completed, search results.] The brain lobe company database can view the company's employees, ministers, supervisors in real time, EGO equipment, daily tests, countercurrent levels and other information, which costs 50lob points to unlock. 】

"Lobe's database?"

Jiang Hai said, writing it down on paper.

Anomalytes database, 50lob points, Lobe Corporation database, 50lob points.

"Is there anything I can do to help me function when I transform into an anomaly?"

"Well, it's similar to the director's special bullet, which can provide a shield for employees."

After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he imitated the tone and speed of the system, and synchronized with the system.

"Searching, please wait."

[Searching, please wait.] 】

Jiang Hai had already figured out the routine of the system's speech, and it raised its butterfly head a little proudly.

【··· 】

[Attribute visualization, it costs 10lob points to unlock.] 】

"10lob points? It's so cheap. Unlock the feature. ”

【Okay.】 There are currently 227 LOB points remaining. 】

As soon as the system spoke in Jiang Hai's mind, Jiang Hai's vision turned into a snowflake screen for a moment. It only felt a pain in its head, which then disappeared and its vision slowly returned.

Jiang Hai looked around, but felt that it had not changed from before, but as it thought of data visualization in its mind.

Transparent, pale blue data appeared in front of its eyes.

[Name: Jiang Hai.]

Anomaly Class: TETH

The current incarnation of the anomaly: the funeral rite of the dead butterfly

HP: 400/400

Physical Resistance: 0.25

Psychic Resistance: 0.75

Corrosion resistance: 0.5

Soul Resistance: 1.0]

Jiang Hai had the impression that the resistance of the dead butterfly funeral ritual was not so high.

"It seems that this resistance is a stat after the cosmetic kick is amplified."

Jiang Hai touched the brooch on his chest and said.

Then Jiang Hai began to think about how to use the remaining 227lob points.

It can be exchanged for two Z-class Anomaly Cores, or one Z-Class Anomaly Co., and then exchanged for the Lobe Corporation Database and the Anomaly Database, both of which cost exactly 200 LOB points.

Or there is another plan, which is to save and keep it to unlock W-class anomalies and A-class anomaly. However, considering that its current Anomalytes are only T-class, it seems too early to unlock W- and A-class Anomalies now.

Jiang Hai thought about it and felt that intelligence was the most important.

"System, spend 100 lob points to unlock the Anomaly database and the Brain Lobe Database."

[Yes.] The database has been unlocked, which you can view through the Anomalies interface. 】

Jiang Hai thought about calling up the anomaly interface, and then appeared in the upper left corner of the light blue light plate in its field of vision, and sure enough, two windows appeared, namely the anomaly database and the brain lobe company database.

Jiang Hai entered the interface and took a cursory look, compared with the part of the information he remembered more clearly, and after confirming that the database was accurate, he exited.

Once you've unlocked the database, it's time to shop for the Fantasy Core.

"System, teleport into the core mall of the anomaly."

[Yes.] 】

Then, Jiang Hai came to the solemn shopping mall again.

This time, it's going to pick the core of a Z-class anomaly.

Approaching the antique-like counter again, it sifted through the few remaining lob points it could buy.

There are four Anomaly Cores, which can be purchased, namely: Crown of Thorns, Flap Wings, Hair Clippers, and Grape Soda, all of which are Z-level Anomaly Cores

"System, can you tell us about their efficacy?"

【Okay.】 】

[Name: Crown of Thorns.]

Effect: When carried, Soul Resistance is fixed at 0.5.

Fantasy Core Description: The Crown of Thorns protects the wearer's soul, causing temporary pain but bringing comfort to the bearer's soul. 】

[Name: Flap wings.]

Effect: Rare chance to get the blessing of the elf.

Core Description: This is not a wing, it's just an ornament, don't think you can fly with it. 】

[Name: Hair clipper.]

Effect: When attacking the opponent, the chance is to turn them bald.

Fantasy Core Description: Everyone! Both! Baldy! 】

[Name: Grape flavored soda.]

Effect: Chance to gain the power of Pippi Shrimp.

Fantasy Core Description: Good to drink, but not drinkable]

Jiang Hai felt a little petrified......

"It can only be said that it is worthy of being the core of the Z-class anomaly...... The crown of thorns is understandable, and flapping its wings is acceptable. But what the hell is a hair clipper and grape-flavored soda. ”

Jiang Hai twitched the corner of his non-existent mouth.

"What is the power of Pipi Shrimp, and there is a probability that the other party will become bald! Who would choose such a chicken core! ”

No, it seems that from the perspective of human beings, this effect of becoming bald seems terrible... At least in the remnants of Jiang Hai's memory.

Of course, Jiang Hai will not consider buying electric hair clippers for the time being, after all, this effect is a little bit strange, and it doesn't seem to help improve combat effectiveness. Jiang Hai doesn't want to test the so-called "Elf Blessing" and "Pipi Shrimp Power" for the time being.

The most practical Fantasy Core was obvious, Jiang Hai thought he would have to struggle with which one to choose, but after understanding the efficacy of the four Fantasy Cores, he made a choice directly.

"Buy the Crown of Thorns."

[Yes.] 】

I saw that a small amount of golden light gushed out of Jiang Hai's body, turning into two, one part entering the inside of the Crown of Thorns, and the other entering the darkness behind the counter.

Through that golden light, in that darkness, Jiang Hai saw something.

It was a mass of black unidentified objects that almost perfectly blended into the darkness, and at this moment, it was staring at a pair of golden eyes, looking at Jiang Hai.

Finding that Jiang Hai saw him, the thing stopped dodging and jumped from the darkness to the counter.

A black body like a fluid stood on the counter, and a pair of big golden eyes looked directly at Jiang Hai.
