44. Concealment

Lu lay on the bed and thought about it all night, but he still couldn't come up with the best of both worlds.

Luckily, he's not the kind of person who likes to drill the horns...

Since your knowledge reserve is insufficient, it is more efficient to consult an expert than to be anxious alone.

So early the next morning, Lao Lu went to Miss Zhao again and made a detailed report on his thoughts and practical needsβ€”of course, he concealed the relevant details of the First Republic, describing the nature of the matter as a supplementary need for his existing extraordinary abilities.

… According to Lu Fuyan's expectations, the other party only learned about the erosion of divine power on transcendental beings with him yesterday, and it is indeed a bit out of place to make such a request when he turns his face.

He was ready to be sternly rejected by the other party.

He even plans to use this as a foreshadowing for "reconciliation and compromise", and learn from Miss Zhao the conventional routines of other transcendents to enhance their abilities.

However, Zhao Manyun's reaction was completely beyond Lao Lu's expectations!

Not only did she not mean to stop Lu Fuyan, but she even took the initiative to give specific operation suggestions, putting herself in his shoes to analyze which type of divine power absorption he should choose...

"Although the transcendent who has been polluted by divine power can easily increase his energy level as long as he allows the divine power to corrode his body.

But in fact, even if they encounter a last resort and need to acquire more advanced abilities, transcendents generally do not choose this laissez-faire natural corrosion method. Instead, it is mostly ingested from other sources through inactive and less mutated contaminants. ”

"Why? Isn't that redundant? ”

"That's not what I said."

Miss Zhao continued to explain earnestly

"For example, the divine power possessed by an evil god is like the water in a dam, and the body of the transcendent is like a shallow stream downstream. If natural erosion is chosen, it is equivalent to digging a breach in the dam and releasing the flood downstream – not only is it difficult to control the exact flow of water with a sudden release, but it is not so easy to re-plug the breach once the levee breaks. ”

Miss Zhao gathered her hands and made a gesture similar to an eruption.

"Even if we can make up for it once or twice, if we do it too many times, the structural strength of the dam itself will be affected, and one day an accident will happen.

Well... In fact, just like diarrhea, even if it is only acute diarrhea at the beginning, if it is not prevented early, it will always become chronic enteritis in the recurrence again and again. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. If you keep talking about it, it will smell weird. ”

... What a wonderful metaphor for Zhao Zhao is this.

Lu Fuyan's hands were crossed in a T-shape, taking advantage of the trend to advance the topic.

"Then if you choose to absorb from the outside world, what more specific qualifications do you need for the target mutant in addition to the criteria you just mentioned?"

"Well, deactivation and low variability are just the most basic requirements. In addition to these two points, the absorbed divine power must also be of the same origin as the corrosion path you are in, otherwise once it triggers a struggle between different divine powers, the consequences may be unimaginable. ”

"Reasonable. What else? ”

"Then there's the more specific question of transcendent nature.

Generally speaking, the mutations used for absorption should not be too pure, because the high concentration of divine power may produce local strong pollution due to uneven dispersion at the moment of entering the human body, and if it cannot be channeled in time, it will cause limb tissue mutation;

However, if the target concentration is too low, it will also affect the difficulty of purification, resulting in a longer absorption time, which may also cause undesirable changes. ”

"Acid into water, water into acid, understand."

"In addition to this, consider the nature of the mutations themselves - some tainted mutations may have some supernatural abilities in their own right, and if you extract divine power from such mutations, you will have to bear additional risks, so you need to avoid them as much as possible."

"Hmm... Seems to be really troublesome, huh? ”

"Of course."

Miss Zhao nodded as a matter of course - after a night, the horns on her forehead had gradually shrunk, leaving only less than five centimeters in length, and it didn't look as dazzling as last night.

In fact, the above mentioned is only a relatively rough way to distinguish it. If the screening process is strictly followed, it will take one or two months to find a suitable donor, to say the least. ”

"Then I'm not hopeless?"

"No, you have one more advantage over ordinary transcendents in this regard."

β€œοΌŸβ€

"Remember what got out of hand yesterday? At that time, you caused quite a lot of pollution to this nightingale's box, including the various furnishings in the room, and there were really many mutations produced by contact with natural disaster-level pollution sources. ”

Lu Fuyan's eyes widened!

"What do you mean... Do I suck myself? Wait, wait, let me sort out my thoughts, if you say so, wouldn't those natural disaster-level infected people be able to use this way to reciprocate infinitely and form perpetual motion? ”

"It's not that easy..."

Miss Zhao squinted her eyes and waved her hand

"First of all, catastrophic level transcendents are often exhausted just by maintaining their sanity, where do they usually have the spare energy to absorb the divine power of the outside world?

In addition, if you want to create a lot of pollution in a short period of time, it will inevitably mean going out of control... Except for a weird like you, who can guarantee that they will recover from a runaway state?

Finally, absorbing divine power itself comes with the risk of energy level jumps, and in case of breaking through the current energy level, the intensity of the pollution will be greatly increased, and most transcendents will not choose to take risks. ”

"yes... So can I still suck it? ”

"For a special case like yours, although it is indeed risky to absorb the divine power of the outside world, it still belongs to the category of trying."

Zhao Manyun found a gray cloth to wrap his head and face, and then directly led someone to Lu to the storage room where the mutations were temporarily sealed.

They walked all the way through the storage room of Nightingale's Bar and down the stairs to the lowest floor of the building.

Deep in the shelves stacked with debris, a half-human-tall human-driven valve appeared in front of them.

Lu Fuyan unscrewed the heavy handwheel under Miss Zhao's command, and the sensor light inside the storage room suddenly lit up with a faint light.

Zhao Manyun didn't let Lu in, but took out a few small mutants in sealed bags from them, and then the two closed the valve and returned to the temporary base.

"I'll start right here?"

Lu took one of the mutants and weighed it... Look at the shape should be one of the supporting legs of the coffee table.

"Do you need to make a report to your superiors?"

"I've got the paperwork done."

"Efficient."

Seeing Miss Zhao smiling and waving the two applications in her hand, Lu Fuyan immediately gave a thumbs up.

He no longer hesitated, closed his eyes and focused, sinking his consciousness completely into the First Republic, trying to extract divine power from the mutation.

... However, Lao Lu didn't see it, and Miss Zhao didn't put the two applications in the bookcase.

With a burst of black-gray ice mist, the two report papers instantly crumbled and shattered, turning into tiny residues that could not be detected.
