Stray Chapter 77: Parasite upgrade plugin: Storm Demon
The opposite is indeed a very advanced world, to be precise, the world of the "Elder Scrolls" series——
A whole world in which all stories take place, not limited to any Morrowind, Cyrodir or Skyrim... But according to the information prompted, it seems that the current historical timeline is indeed in 5 It's time for generation.
This is the story of the last dragonborn, who, by accident, embarked on an inexplicable journey against Alduin, the dragon that eats the world.
Even with Xia Ran's very vague impression, she still vaguely remembers some information she learned when she played the game.
For example, "annihilation domain", "devil", etc., in short, it is a very high-level and dangerous world, not to mention that there are many strong people like dogs, legends are everywhere, it is probably almost there... The dragon soul of the human body, the last generation of dragon descendants who are destined to return, can eat well.
Let's not talk about the expressiveness in the game, after all, the weak expressiveness is because of the need to take care of the gameplay - if you dare to brighten the health bar, you must be prepared to lose the force.
It is also due to functional limitations. Many people think that the current computer configuration is equipped with various mods, and the special effects are gorgeous and destroy the world. It has passed the configuration level when the game first came out.
Anyway, it's because of these subtle reasons that people can't laugh or cry, so I have this illusion that the expressiveness in the game is very frustrating and weak, and there is nothing great about it... Illusion.
Yes, it's an illusion.
Because if you just look at the setting of the plot, Grab Genbao is basically a humanoid nuclear bomb walking in the sky. The power is definitely the ceiling of the power in the world, and the future is limitless...
After all, with three Elder Scrolls in hand, the roar went straight to Songarde. After defeating Alduin the World Eater, he had already stood at the top of the material world, and even Dagon roared back to the realm of annihilation.
Although in the game, it is still a hard worker who runs errands everywhere. A brick of society, wherever it needs to be moved, will be wanted if you kill a chicken.
Xia Ran frowned and thought about it. In all fairness, he really wanted to take risks in it, or he didn't have to take risks at all. He just had to find a good opportunity to infiltrate the College of Winterhold—
He promises that he won't make trouble, after all, making trouble will only rapidly increase the repulsive force of the law of cause and effect in that world and shorten the stay time.
Xia Ran's idea is to use the maximum stay time as much as possible to become a mage apprentice who studies hard and studies hard in the academy... Even if it lasts for a few years, he is completely fine. Believe that you can endure it.
Of course, it would have been better if it took a little longer, he is still completely fine, no problem at all, the best thing is that after the time is long enough for him to concentrate on the illusion department, he can easily restore other destruction, summoning, recovery Magical skills such as Elements, Transformations, etc. are also brightened up a little...
—that's the best way to go.
However, ideals return to ideals, and reality returns to reality. He also knows that even if he really enters, it is impossible for everything to develop as smoothly as he imagined, and there will inevitably be many twists and turns, even accidents. Hengsheng.
And his current comprehensive ability is not enough to protect himself in that world... This is not a modest statement, but to be honest, he can't even protect himself.
At most, it is limited in strength than ordinary people. If you use all the means, you can barely deal with ordinary magical creatures, and the stronger ones can probably make a few gestures. Other than that, there is really nothing worth mentioning. advantage.
And how terrifying that world is. In short, it is likely that the elite ghouls in any tomb will give you a dragon roar and tear you to pieces... /
After all, the gameplay is just gameplay, and its expressiveness is limited by many factors. Perhaps in the game, the player character receives a dragon roar in the front, that is, the screen vibrates and shakes, the health bar is deducted a small amount, and even stiffness is lost. No...
But when it comes to facing these high-level and powerful forces, Xia Ran doesn't feel that she has small arms and legs, so she has no qualifications to survive, maybe if she is lucky...
A severed finger or something?
Although, the 1.4-meter luoli before is right, he is at this stage, the most relaxed and least stressful stage, because he has just passed an official mission.
Before the first official mission, he was very weak. According to the rules of white space, death is the most fundamental source of existence. The intuitive performance is that the basic attributes are reduced by half.
So, he can't die in the mission world, because death is synchronously mapped back to the real body, which is the same end.
Let's not mention anything else, the physical attribute value is reduced by half, and the result is that the physical attribute value becomes 2 points... What is the concept? A newborn baby has a 2-point constitution, or a stillborn baby has a 1-point constitution.
How could he possibly survive that utter weakness?
However, now, Xia Ran, who has recovered her health and has been strengthened to a certain extent, really has the capital to die once in the next mission, although the loss will be heavy, and she will return to the pre-liberation overnight.
However, after all, there is an extra life... Although it is not necessary to go to the waves, but having such an extra life by his side is naturally the greatest confidence and trump card, and he really feels relieved from the bottom of his heart.
However, this life is not a panacea.
As you can see from "fate", the great hero in Greek mythology, Hercules' Noble Phantasm "Twelve Trials", made him a terrifying blood cow with twelve tubes of blood, no matter how hard A powerful attack knocks him down, and after resurrection, this type of attack will be nullified.
The front seems to be very powerful and invincible, and then I was directly killed seven lives with a sword...
Similarly, Xia Ran has speculated before that death and death are likely to be completely different, and the high-level magical world on the opposite side is obviously that there is that kind of killing method aimed at the essence of the soul.
So, for the time being, let's continue with our mission process step by step. Anyway, the main line of space will not be conquered in a short time. He can spend some time to improve and strengthen his own strength first, by the way, look at the status of the pioneers later, and make statistics——
If the overall casualty rate is particularly high, then it is really a battlefield like a meat grinder, and Xia Ran will not die if he says anything.
Leaving the center of the square, he glanced around again, but couldn't find anything suitable, so he only bought some more important consumables, such as firearms, ammunition, food, etc.
There seem to be lost people who specialize in this business, and the same thing sells for a little less than space.
Other than that, it's medical supplies, but there's really no need to buy ordinary drugs to occupy the space, and the effect is not good. Xia Ran just bought a few rolls of magic bandages with weak magical effects. Bottle of low-level healing potion.
Although I wouldn't say that within a few seconds of using it, I could see the blood bar rising desperately, but it's also very unscientific. For example, if someone is slashed, as long as the injury is not too severe, it can be used together to make the scar invisible within two days.
As for the more advanced kind, elixir and potion that can be directly rescued with only one breath left after being reborn from a severed limb, I haven't seen it in the square. Maybe it exists in the exchange list of the space, but he has not arrived yet. The stage of that high-quality goods can be used.
After going around, he just wiped out the few points left on him, leaving only a C-level karma crystal and a D-level karma crystal, which were continuously dismantled from the previous whole. separated.
But it's funny enough. Most newcomers don't have enough crystals. Instead, he has more crystals than the points left... He wondered if he should go to someone to exchange them, at least for another 5,000 points. .
It seems that it is better to increase the number of grids in the inventory. The initial five grids are equipped with firearms and ammunition consumables, which are basically nothing. It is really not enough.
If you encounter the embarrassing situation of the uncle-faced stall owner, you will be in trouble.
"That..."
The familiar voice that seemed to be heard just now came from the side, interrupting Xia Ran's train of thought. He turned his head and found that it was the stall owner with the old uncle's face. The other party was rubbing his hands with a smile. Not embarrassed.
"Little brother, I thought about it and felt like I met you at first sight..."
Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a serious face, and also showed a tacit smile: "Of course, I think so too..."
……
……
After returning to her personal area, Xia Ran only had a C-level karma crystal.
He still produced a d-rank crystal, but he didn't give points. On the contrary, the other party would have to compensate him... This is of course, the value of crystals is much more expensive than points.
The price of the neurotuner is estimated to be sky-high for two pieces. After all, the uncertainty is relatively large, but the value is there, and it is unrealistic not to let the other party earn some... Xia Ran just doesn't want to lose too much.
"But this thing...will definitely hurt..."
After reading the notes and confirming that there was no deviation, Xia Ran sighed, picked up the special pistol, and pulled the "trigger".
——There was no deafening explosion, and no bullets were fired. It was just that several long, sharp needles suddenly popped out from the "muzzle", flickering faintly with some kind of cold light.
The method of using this thing is to pierce the area around the eyes to stimulate the potential of the brain...?
So, it really hurts just thinking about it, and how do you make sure that there will be no deviations? Can you apply for a space to assist you and let yourself use this thing?
Xia Ran recalled the scene in the game where the character inserted this thing into his own eyes, and couldn't help but feel terrified.
How about strengthening the left hand first...
He thought so, and from the inventory, he took out an item that the stall owner just now compensated for, a piece of black flesh-like living tissue.
That is said to be the material about the storm demon from the keys he obtained in the world of "Predation".
The storm monster is an extraterrestrial life, extremely aggressive, with extremely advanced neural structure, super learning ability, and at the same time it can mimic any object as needed, and can reproduce and split after attacking humans... …
Does it look familiar? Familiar is right.
In the game, after exploring, the protagonist of that world will discover a terrifying fact. In fact, the earth has already been destroyed, and he is actually a similar type of Storm Demon——
The ability that originally needed to be used through the mind controller is the innate ability of the protagonist, and everything he or it has experienced is actually an experimental project. result of brainwashing.
At the end, he or it needs to make a choice, whether to express peace, pretend to be a human and continue to live, or kill everyone and return to the original face of the storm demon.
Xia Ran thinks, this species and parasitic beast are really a good fit...
