Astral Apostle Chapter 27: Blood Enhancement

"Hey, this idiot is lucky. The low success rate of ordinary people has hit him."

Zhou Jing tsk tsk.

He heard Baron say that among the fifty ordinary people who have not undergone training, maybe only two or three people have been successfully strengthened with abnormal blood. Ross's lucky value is indeed a bit consecrated.

Is it true that God favors idiots? When a door closes, a window opens?

Zhou Jing shook his head and ordered: "Take off your clothes and give me Kangkang."

Ross took off his shirt expressionlessly.

I saw that his originally ordinary body now had streamlined muscle lines, a muscular but lean body.

"Nice figure... put it on."

Zhou Jing nodded and took note of the apparent changes in Ross's body.

The change is not big, but it's okay to wear clothes, and it's not so easy to be discovered.

After watching the whole process, he already knew the general process of strengthening the alien blood. After the medicine begins to metabolize, the body will begin to transform. There is a certain amount of pain in the process, but the ability to move is still retained. The strength will continue to increase in this state until the effect of the medicine is fully exerted. The whole process takes about three or four hours.

Zhou Jing was quite excited when Ross won the drug test bet.

Ross gains extraordinary powers, and this follower is finally useful.

Although the enhancement range is limited, and it is a whiteboard with no other combat skills, it can be regarded as a combat power, at least it is no problem to bully ordinary people...

"Night vision, light action, night camouflage... suitable for stealth, reconnaissance and concealment. It really is the direction of strengthening."

Zhou Jing looked at the introduction on the panel.

The super power system of [Alien-Blood Warrior] will bring some characteristics each time it is strengthened, depending on the different-blood potion used and the effect of this strengthening.

Ross's three characteristics are all suitable for sneaking, and with his popular face, the whole person's sense of presence declines significantly.

He chose this alien blood potion for Ross because he wanted Ross to take the stealth route. In some situations where it is inconvenient for him to dispatch himself, Ross would definitely want to do it for him.

He is kind-hearted and doesn't want Ross to lose the opportunity to make contributions.

Such as monitoring and tracking, as well as exciting and exciting monsters, etc... He knew that Ross likes to do this kind of work the most, and his face is full of willingness.

This kind of ability is not suitable for frontal combat, and at most it can play a role of containment, Zhou Jing also guessed.

He didn't expect the follower to be able to carry the alien beast once he was strengthened. After all, the follower is the initial attribute of ordinary people, and there is no attribute foundation of the astral apostle. Even if the strengthening is successful, the frontal combat effectiveness is still limited.

Moreover, with Ross' rigidity, Zhou Jing didn't dare to let him alone, so he might as well be an assistant.

"Ross is suitable for night operations. Although he has the foundation of extraordinary strength now, he currently has no skills, and he has to practice more before he can enter actual combat."

"It's up to me to strengthen... um, wait for Baron to come back."

Zhou Jing calmed down and remembered Baron's instructions.

He asked Ross to think about it in a low-key manner, while he silently adjusted his physical state.

…

Baron did not return to his hotel room until the guards rang the bell and began a routine curfew.

Zhou Jing opened his eyes, shook his head and said, "Why did you come back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Baron touched the back of his head and smiled rudely:

"Haha, sorry, sorry, I met a few friends and chatted for a while... Are you ready here?"

"I'm fine, I can use the alien blood potion."

"Then I'll be watching. If something goes wrong, I'll... um, there's nothing I can do if there's a problem. I can only help you guard the door."

Or collect the corpse... Baron didn't say the second half of the sentence, which is not very lucky.

He moved a chair and sat by the door with his arms folded, his eyes staring like copper bells, like a door god.

Zhou Jing retracted his gaze, took a deep breath, picked up the Leopard Potion, and drank it dry.

Boom!

As if he had swallowed a mouthful of lightning, his body shook like an electric shock.

After a while, the potion slowly took effect, and the blue veins on his face burst out. He felt his flesh and bones twisted into a twist like a towel was twisted, and waves of pain rushed out like a flood.

"His..."

Zhou Jing took a breath and gritted his teeth to endure.

A force was born simultaneously with the pain. He could feel that his body gradually became stronger in the pain, and his physical fitness seemed to break some boundaries and climbed steadily.

But it's obviously painful, but it doesn't seem to be that hard... I'm afraid this body's [tenacity] talent is taking effect?

Baron stared at him worriedly.

Although he felt that with Zhou Jing's exaggerated physique, it was impossible to strengthen failure, but before it became a reality, he still had to be apprehensive and worried.

After all, it was also the first time he saw that the basic physical enhancement was not weaker than that of ordinary people of the alien blood warrior, and he did not know what would happen.

As time passed, Zhou Jing trembled slightly, sweating like buckets, and wet the floor.

After about three hours, the pain gradually subsided, turning into a tingling like ironing.

Zhou Jing only felt a kind of reborn feeling, and his whole body was filled with a strong sense of strength.

He couldn't help clenching his fists, having the illusion that he could smash anything he saw.

"There are no symptoms of discomfort... The reinforcement is a success."

He took a breath, glanced at the panel, and saw that the message had already been refreshed.

[Obtain the extraordinary power system [Alien Blood Warrior]]

[[Alien Blood Warrior]: One Enhancement (Lightning Leopard)]

[Current attributes: Physical 26 (Tier 1), Resistance 20 (Tier 1), Perception 11 (Tier 1), Spirit 6 (Tier 1), Energy 0]

——

[[Thunder Strike] (Special)]

[Effect: Your instant explosiveness is greatly increased. When you hold your breath, you can enter the "thunder attack" state, consume a lot of physical strength, and gain further enhanced explosive power in a short period of time]

"Four characteristics, the strengthening effect should be very outstanding."

Zhou Jing was overjoyed.

The characteristics conferred by the alien blood enhancement depend on the alien beast from which the medicine comes from. As many abilities as a alien beast have, there are as many types of additional characteristics.

However, if two people use the same different blood potion, the actual characteristics obtained may not be exactly the same. It depends on factors such as the quality of the potion, the basic physical quality of the enhancer, and so on.

And his basic physical fitness is far superior to ordinary people. The result of this strengthening is quite impressive, much better than Ross.

"26 points of physical strength, 20 points of resistance, my current level is far higher than that of Baron. It should be the alien blood warrior who crushed the one-time strengthening... I don't know if it has reached the standard of the second strengthening." /

Zhou Jing's thoughts turned slightly.

After the enhancement, the attributes have increased significantly, but the suffix is ​​still first-order. I don't know what the dividing line is.

He took a closer look at the changes brought about by the strengthening. The reaction speed was extremely fast, and there was always a feeling of being overcharged.

The body is very light and the strength is quite full, especially the momentary movements can produce huge explosive power.

He casually punched out an afterimage in the air, with a snap, and the sound of the sleeves rubbing was like a popping sound.

Seeing this, Baron finally felt relieved, smiled with joy, and his beard shook.

"I just said that you will be able to successfully strengthen, how do you feel now?"

"I feel like I can hit ten now." Zhou Jing moved his shoulders.

"Haha, it's normal. I felt the same way when I first strengthened. The body that suddenly strengthens will become uncontrollable. You only need to get used to it for a certain period of time, understand what you can do after strengthening, and figure out the new limit of the body. to regain control.”

Baron speaks of experience.

Zhou Jing blinked.

Is it difficult to control, why don't you seem to feel this way... I have to find a time to test it.

But he didn't refute either, nodding and listening to Balon's teaching.

"With your physique, I'm afraid you're catching up to the level of the second reinforcement now. You still need to practice control." Balon was envious and congratulated: "From now on, you are a different blood warrior, not anymore. Ordinary person, tomorrow I will take you to replace a piece of equipment, and then buy some medicine or something... I will lend you the money first and pay it back later."

"Okay." Zhou Jing didn't reject Baron's kindness, he really needed some help.

"You have a good rest tonight, take it easy."

Baron nodded and said nothing.

He had also experienced reinforcement, and knew that Zhou Jing would definitely want to study his own changes excitedly at this time, so he stopped staying in the room and returned to the next room, leaving Zhou Jing's private space.

Although he was curious about Zhou Jing's enhanced level, he restrained his curiosity after thinking about it.

The person who has just been strengthened is neither serious nor serious. He feels that it is too late and does not want to disturb the neighbors

——Counseling is impossible, I just think it's unnecessary at night, no need...

After sending Balong away and closing the door, Zhou Jing didn't keep his expression sullen, and his eyes flashed with excitement.

He took off his shirt and looked down at the changes in his body.

Originally a strong figure with huge muscles, but now the muscles of the whole body are streamlined, with clear lines, well-defined eight-pack abs, deep mermaid lines, and overall more coordinated.

Can clearly feel that a strong body is more explosive.

On the panel, an achievement is also displayed simultaneously.

[Trigger achievement [Into the extraordinary (unique)]]

[Get 1000 Astral Points! [Qualification Improvement-Comprehensive (Small)] x1! ]

——Obtaining the first extraordinary system, you can trigger this achievement, and there is an achievement reward with a small increase in all qualifications.

The ability to strengthen the body is also an extraordinary power. The first time I experienced it, the feeling was really different, and it was extremely energetic.

Although more than three months have passed since the world of alien beasts, most of the time was spent in placement according to its own plan, and the main world was only about four days later.

The difficulty of obtaining this power is not as difficult as he expected.

Zhou Jing was excited and dragged Ross to test his current physical limit.

Ross is the best tool person, once the level of reinforcement, is the perfect test subject, no matter how you treat it, there will be no complaints.

Zhou Jing tested it several times, and had a clearer understanding of his own physical limit and the level of reinforcement represented by Ross, and made an accurate comparison.

I have a good foundation, and my strength will be higher after strengthening, and my physical fitness will crush Ross in all directions. It is almost as simple as a father beating his son. If you replace it with another one-time-enhanced alien blood warrior, you will probably be able to deal with multiple levels of enemies.

It's hard to say how many you can hit, after all, I haven't tried it.

The destructive power was also measured. Zhou Jing went to the hotel and asked for some materials. The solid wood he held in his hand could be broken easily, and could be crushed into pieces with force. Stone bricks were equally fragile in front of his fists.

"It should be very easy to push down the buildings of this era with such physical fitness."

Zhou Jing had a vague concept. When fighting alien beasts, hunters might fight hard, but if they make trouble in the city, they might be like bulldozers.

However, the alien world does not have various instruments in the main world, so he cannot test specific physical parameters, so he can only estimate as much as possible.

Zhou Jing dragged Ross to and fro to study all night, discovering the current changes in his body, and he was never tired of it.

…

Early the next morning, Zhou Jing and Balong walked around Baiyuan City briefly and bought some things.

There are three most important items for an alien hunter, armor, weapons, and potions.

In general, weapons and armor made from exotic materials are of higher quality, but are quite expensive.

Unlike the alien blood potion, which can be exchanged for free, the alien equipment requires money, and even hunters who bring back their prey have to pay processing fees.

Zhou Jing was very shy, and had no plans to buy exotic beast equipment for the time being. Instead, he borrowed some money from Baron and bought a standard leather armor for an exotic beast hunter.

Black and green, with shoulder pads, in addition to cutting and stab resistance, it also has good portability.

Then I went to the blacksmith shop. After picking and choosing, I bought a hundred-forged long knife with a slightly curved arc.

Because he practiced swordsmanship and took the high-sensitivity and high-explosive reinforcement route, Zhou Jing felt that to give full play to his own advantages, it was a good choice to equip a weapon with a high attack speed.

However, although the Thunder Strike Leopard Potion mainly strengthens agility, the strength brought by 26 points of physical energy is still much higher than that of an alien blood warrior who is strengthened once. Zhou Jing does not intend to give up heavy weapons, and is hunting some giant aliens. It can be used when beasts.

Walking out of the blacksmith's shop, Zhou Jing's dress is already the same.

Brand new black and green hunter leather armor, with two knives on his body, the long knives are slung on his waist, and the original heavy knives are still on his back.

There is no assembly line process in the world of alien beasts, and the hand-made equipment is really not cheap. It cost Baron nearly twenty Tera silver coins to replace it - this is the common currency of the Tera Empire.

This amount of money is a huge sum for ordinary farmers, and hunters sell an ordinary alien beast to the workshop, and the price is generally around 80 Tera silver coins. The alien hunter is a high-income group.

Baron looked up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "It's a bit of a look. Next, we have to go to the pharmacy and buy some hunting potions."

"Don't go to the hunter workshop?" Zhou Jing was curious.

"The workshop only processes exotic animal materials. The hunter potion we use when hunting is made from medicinal herbs. You can't buy it in the workshop. You have to go to a serious pharmacy."

Baron explained.

When hunting beast hunters, they will use some potions to temporarily enhance themselves, called hunter potions. There are different properties, some are to reduce pain and increase excitement, and some are to treat injuries and restore physical fitness.

Because the physique of alien hunters is different from that of ordinary people, the effects of hunter potions are generally quite violent, and it is difficult for ordinary people to use them. Therefore, making hunter potions is a major category in the world's pharmacy. How to configure herbs can ensure that hunter potions work without causing too many side effects. It is a knowledge.

Therefore, the pharmacists in this world are roughly divided into three research directions, one is to study the technology of alien blood medicine, the second is to study the recipe of hunter potion, and the third is to make ordinary potions used by ordinary people.

The two chatted and walked, and soon came to the pharmacy in the central area of ​​the town.

The pharmacy occupies a large area, with people coming and going, and the business is booming, and there are two teams of eight guards patrolling at the gate.

"There are quite a lot of people." Zhou Jing looked around, tsk tsk.

Baron shrugged: "There is only one pharmacy in the city. You can only buy medicines here. Of course, there are many people."

Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you open a few more? There will always be pharmacists who want to open their own shops, right?"

"Lord Lute has an order that pharmacists are not allowed to open a store without permission. If they want to sell medicines, they can only cooperate with this pharmacy, either sell the medicine to them, or become their cooperative pharmacist. It is said that this order is for the purpose of Guarantee the quality of the medicines purchased by the residents of the city, and prevent some pharmacists who are not skilled enough to sell medicines of poor quality at will, and run away when they are sold out.”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing's eyes moved slightly.

The reason is quite good...but this is still a monopoly, right?

"Let me guess, this pharmacy is the lord's property?"

"Who knows, but it must provide taxation to the lord." Balon stroked his beard.

In this era of the alien world, most of the anti-monopoly laws do not exist. The lord is the largest local monopoly and has a series of tax collection rights.

Zhou Jing had no idea either, so he did as the locals do.

Seeing that the two were armed, the pharmacy guards immediately came to interrogate them. This time, they were much stricter than the city gate guards.

After finally coping with the interrogation, the two walked into the pharmacy.

But as soon as he entered the door, he happened to meet someone who bowed his head and walked out in a hurry.

Zhou Jing reacted quickly, swiped sideways to get out of the way, and dodged.

This talent found out that he almost hit someone and was startled. He suddenly lost his foot and rolled down the steps with an ouch.

Watching this scene, Zhou Jing couldn't help but elbow Ross next to him, surprised:

"Look, I found someone older than you."

Ross: (→_→)

This man stood up with a grin and grin, and Zhou Jing could see his appearance clearly. He was shriveled and thin, with a goatee and wearing the rough uniform of a drugstore. He seemed to be an employee of the store.

"Why don't you look at the road?" The goatee man rubbed his knees and complained subconsciously.

However, as soon as he looked up and saw Zhou Jing's appearance, his expression suddenly changed.

The man with the goatee immediately shut up, didn't say anything, turned his head and hurried away.

"Is he afraid of me?"

Zhou Jing touched his chin, wondering if he was that scary.

Baron is not surprised: "It's normal~IndoMTL.com~ Our alien hunters are respected and powerful. Of course he doesn't dare to conflict with you when you dress like this."

"I understand this." Zhou Jing nodded.

It is not surprising that the main world power user occasionally receives similar treatment in his life.

Zhou Jing didn't take this matter to heart, and followed Baron into the pharmacy to the shelf of Hunter Potion.

The selling price of Hunter Potion is generally three Tera Silver Coins, and some potions marked "Powerful" can even cost more than ten Tera Silver Coins.

"Isn't it a bit ridiculously expensive..."

Zhou Jing grinned secretly.

Hunter potion, ordinary people will definitely not buy it, and hunters are not so cheap, so the price is relatively high, this is because the customer positioning is accurate?

He wasn't quite sure about the cost of Hunter Potion, but he always thought it was a lucrative industry.

No wonder the lord is in his hands...

While he was thinking about it, Baron had already bought four bottles of hunter potion, and gave half of it to Zhou Jing.

"One bottle is continuous excitement, and the other bottle has the effect of temporarily suppressing injuries. These are the two most commonly used hunting. Take it."

"Thank you, I will pay you back when I earn money from hunting."

Zhou Jing collected the potion and silently calculated his debt to Baron, which was about twenty-five silver silver coins.

I don’t have much money, so I can pay it back after a single hunt, so I don’t have much pressure.

Zhou Jing calmed down, nodded and said, "Everything is ready, where shall we go next, can we find a place to test our physical fitness?"

"No, let's go to a nice place."

Having said that, Balong grabbed Zhou Jing's shoulder and said:

"That's the most important thing to our hunters... Hunter Tavern!"
