Stray Chapter 31: Skill enhancement

It can only be said that the explosion rate of the key is really not too high. This is just the second key that Xia Ran has started.

He doesn't know if it's because equipment and skills are already in short supply, or it's simply because the parasitic beasts simply don't have any rule system worthy of being included in the white space, and become the value of recognized equipment and skills. .

However, this did not prevent Xia Ran from looking forward to this second key. After all, the first key directly unlocked a special piece of equipment that changed his combat effectiveness, greatly improving his situation.

In his opinion, no matter how bad it is, the things that come out are much better than the kill rewards after hunting parasitic beasts now.

It's really something I can't use, but I can sell it...

——In the final analysis, Xia Ran still has an unbearable resentment and entanglement about the large reduction in kill rewards.

Of course he also knew that it was because his combat power had soared, and his comprehensive evaluation had risen directly.

Especially after the spirit value breaks through to 20 points, the enhanced attribute item in the exchange list also directly changes from 1000 points per point to 2000 points per point.

——This is the best proof.

Going back to her room and closing the door, Xia Ran chose to use the key. He wants to see how lucky he is this time as soon as possible, whether he hides his bloodline whether it is a European emperor or an African chief, and whether he can draw the good things he needs...

Xia Ran held the simple-looking key and gently poked it forward. She quickly felt the resistance of friction and bite. It seemed that an invisible keyhole in the air had just been inserted by him with the key. look.

Turn with slight force, feeling the friction and resistance carefully. He first took a small breath, then narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at a dim golden light bursting out of the air.

“…”

Damn, it really is a card drawing effect!

No matter what is drawn, the premonition is probably a dull golden glow!

What a disgusting setting... After all, this is already a fraud in a certain sense!

Fortunately, this time, not only one, but two were pulled out. Does this mean that it is not a key that corresponds to an unknown reward, but a more random one?

Xia Ran guessed so subconsciously, and then looked at the things he took out this time, and found that while he was relieved, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, because there was no more parasitic beast larvae.

After all, this thing is actually very valuable. Even if you don't need it, you can sell it after returning. Maybe after three or four missions, seniors who have initially determined the prototype of their ability system will not Look at it.

But before that, Xia Ran pushed himself and others, and felt that a novice like him probably couldn't refuse the powerful ability of the parasitic beast. Just like the description in the item evaluation, this thing is the most suitable choice for newcomers. one.

The only problem is that you must increase your spiritual attributes to ensure that you can have dominance or even control, use parasitic beasts to fight when you need them, and block their independent consciousness when you don't need them.

Because the parasite is really a dangerous weapon, it must be handled with care.

Even if parasitic beasts must rely on the host's own life to survive, once they conflict with each other, it is not that they will not do something that threatens the host... Absolutely rational, they certainly cannot kill the host without emotion, Choose to die together.

But blinding the host's eyes or something is completely possible and has little effect on themselves.

For example, in the original plot, Quan Xinyi planned to go to the police and hand over his right hand to the country when he was parasitized. Ah You threatened him at that time. It doesn't want to die together, so it won't kill Izumi Shinichi, but it can incapacitate the latter.

As long as you can't see anything anymore, can't speak anything, and can't control your hands, then it's impossible to reveal the secrets of parasitic beasts, right?

It is precisely because of remembering such details of the plot that Xia Ran is somewhat repulsive of the strong choice of the early stage rookie t0-level parasitic beast, and has always been untrustworthy. Just like at this time, he is blocking his left-hand independent consciousness.

The two things that came out were a somewhat old and yellowed parchment scroll, and a long knife with a strange shape.

He first looked at the yellowed sheepskin scroll with a sense of the times and history...

"Name: Aikido"

"Type: Skill Scroll"

"Rarity: Dark Iron"

"Effect of use: The user will be proficient in Aikido techniques and can quickly apply what they have learned. The specific degree of mastery depends on the user's own learning and understanding ability"

"Requirements: Strength 4, Dexterity 5, Perception 5"

"Evaluation: A defensive and counter-attack martial arts that utilizes the attacker's kinetic energy, manipulates energy, and is inclined to technical control. It does not advocate active attacks, and does not use force to fight against strength, and uses technology to make up for lack of physical strength"

…………

Xia Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. This time, he actually pulled out his skills?

This is a really good thing. You don't need to pay any extra cost. As long as you meet the usage requirements, you can directly learn to master an advanced ability... If there is no such thing, there are only two skills to learn. a way.

One is to honestly master it through practice, spending time and energy as a cost, and the effect is uncertain, that is, a learning method that everyone can use.

The other is through the use of the most precious "causal crystal", which is a higher-level currency than "points". It is said that after the established causal chain is broken, it is collected by the law of white space. The crystallization of force...

It is said that its essence is a fragment of fate, and because it contains many possible changes, it can be used to determine the concept of the future.

To give a simple example, for example, someone is going to teach Xia Ran a very advanced skill. If it was normal learning, it would have taken him several years or even a dozen years to truly master that ability.

But if you have enough causal crystals, you can directly get the result by triggering the cause, which is to lock in an inevitable future. So he will directly save a lot of time cost, by identifying the concept of the future, directly mastering that skill in the present...

And not only as the effect of mastering skills, but also things like strengthening bloodlines, strengthening equipment, and even mysterious breakthrough realms, karma crystals can play a huge role in it.

For the lost, this is a fragment of a wish machine used to illuminate a bright future, allowing them to turn possibilities into reality and directly realize different visions.

Xia Ran currently has a B-level karma crystal, and because it is so precious, he has not considered converting it into points and continuing to strengthen his basic attributes...

However, why does a parasitic beast master this melee technique? Could it be the skill that the original owner of the body has trained and mastered? It should be like this, right?

Without thinking for too long, he decided to learn this skill, because it was indeed suitable for him. Instead of fighting strength with strength, he made up for the deficiency with technology.

Although he also doesn't plan to go up and fight the parasitic beasts by himself at the moment, it doesn't mean that he won't use it in the future - anyway, for Xia Ran, who is just starting out and lacks everything, everything can be quickly transformed into All things are good in their own power.

The way to use the skill scroll is not to tear it open directly, nor to slap it on the body, but to ask him to carefully give all the information recorded on it, and try to memorize, understand, and deeply grasp it.

That is, if you really hold the mentality of learning and enter the state of learning, you can activate the use effect of the skill scroll.

Xia Ran followed the request seriously, and deliberately slowed down the speed. Instead of swallowing the dates wholeheartedly, she was unwilling to let go of a single punctuation mark.

It took nearly half an hour, the moment he was fully in the state and read the last word on the scroll-

He suddenly felt that his brain was suddenly empty, and all irrelevant thoughts were suppressed to the depths of his consciousness. Only a lot of information he just passed, the content of thinking, and more complete and detailed techniques are all in It appeared in an instant.

And these contents are changing as a whole, from words to sounds, from sounds to images, all of them are stuffed into his subconscious mind.

Unarmed vs Unarmed, Unarmed vs Weapon, Weapon vs Weapon, Weapon vs Unarmed, Single vs Single, Single vs Multiplayer...

In a trance, when he opened his eyes again, Xia Ran felt countless pictures flashing before his eyes, as if he was a veteran who had been immersed in this practice for more than ten years, and had practiced various training subjects countless times until he was almost conditioned reflex. Solidification becomes the instinct of the body.

White Space once again showed its magic, turning him from a rookie with no knowledge of Aikido to a master of all techniques in a short period of time.

——Maybe the only shortcoming is the lack of actual combat experience...

Looking at her raised white hands, Xia Ran couldn't help but have a subtle urge to move. She wished she would go to the street to find a hapless gangster and try her new ability.

It's really novel after all, he's like a kid who just got a new toy.

He shook his head slightly, resisting such an irrational impulse, Xia Ran looked at another thing extracted.

"Name: Fang of the Parasitic Beast"

"Category: Equipment"

"Rarity: Dark Iron"

“Main Attribute 1: Sharpness—essentially a bone sharp blade used by parasitic beasts for deforming attacks. The blade is thin and long, and has a sharpness value far exceeding that of ordinary knives. It can cause higher damage if the weak spot is identified. "

"Main attribute 2: firmness - the densely packed bone mass makes the equipment material extremely hard, just like steel, so it has very good durability and will not be easily destroyed"

"Review: A single-edged long knife with a wide blade. Because of its light weight, it can be used for quick and continuous attacks. The sharpness is unsurpassed, and it is also not easy to wear."

…………

This is a long bone knife with a slightly ferocious shape and a length of nearly two meters. Compared with the previous special equipment, it looks more normal.

However, the attribute description is a bit vague, there is no clear data description such as "attack power **** points", "attack damage increase by x%", etc. The white space seems to be data-based without preparing anything.

It only seems to give a rough idea of ​​the specific effect of something.
