Astral Apostle Chapter 27: Different blood enhancement
"Hey, this idiot is lucky. The success rate of ordinary people is so low, and he has hit him."
Zhou Jing tsk tsk.
He heard from Baron that out of fifty untrained ordinary people, perhaps only two or three people succeeded in strengthening the alien blood. Rose's lucky value is indeed a bit of a blessing.
Is it true that the gods especially favor fools? 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 blankly.
I saw that his original normal body now had streamlined muscular lines, a muscular but lean figure.
"You have a good figure... put it on."
Zhou Jing nodded, taking note of the apparent changes in Rose's body.
The change is not big, it's okay to wear clothes, it's not so easy to be found.
After watching the whole process, he already knew the general process of strengthening the different blood. After the medicine starts to metabolize, the body will begin to transform. There will be some pain in this process, but the ability to move will still be retained. In this state, the strength will continue to increase until the medicine's effect is fully exerted. The whole process will take about three to four hours.
This wave made Ross win the drug test bet, and Zhou Jing was quite excited.
Rose gained extraordinary power, and this follower was finally useful.
Although the strengthening range is limited, and it is a blank slate without other combat skills, it can be regarded as 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 this strengthening direction."
Zhou Jing looked at the introduction on the panel.
The super power system of [Different Blood Warrior], each enhancement will bring some characteristics, depending on the different blood medicine used and the effect of this enhancement.
Rose's three characteristics are all suitable for stealth. Combined with his public face, the whole person's sense of presence has dropped significantly.
He chose this blood-altering potion for Rose, because he wanted Rose to take the stealth route. For some situations where it is not convenient to go out in person, Rose must want to do it for him.
He has a kind heart and doesn't want Ross to lose the opportunity to do meritorious service.
Such as monitoring and tracking, as well as exciting monster lures, etc... He knew that Rose liked to do this kind of work the most, and his face was full of willingness.
This kind of ability is not suitable for frontal combat, at most it can play a role of containment, Zhou Jing also guessed.
He didn't expect that the followers would be able to fight the alien beast once they were strengthened. After all, the followers were the initial attributes of ordinary people, without the attribute foundation of the apostle of the star world. Even if the enhancement was successful, the frontal combat power was still limited.
Moreover, with Ross's dullness, Zhou Jing didn't dare to let him take the lead, so it's better to be an assistant.
"Ross is suitable for night operations. Although he has a foundation of extraordinary strength now, he has no skills at the moment. He needs to practice more before he can put into actual combat."
"It's up to me to strengthen it... well, wait for Baron to come back first."
Zhou Jing settled down, remembering Baron's instructions.
He asked Rose to face the wall in a low-key way and think about his mistakes, while he silently adjusted his physical state.
……
It was not until the guard rang the bell and the routine curfew began that Baron returned to the hotel room.
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 gave a rough smile:
"Haha, I'm sorry, I met a few friends and chatted for a while... Are you ready here?"
"I'm fine, you can use the different blood potion."
"Then I'll watch from the side. If something goes wrong, I will... er, I can't do anything if something goes wrong. I can only help you guard the door."
Or collect the body... It's not auspicious for Baron not to say the second half of the sentence.
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 withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, picked up the Lightning Strike Leopard Potion, and drank it all in one gulp.
Boom!
As if he had swallowed a mouthful of lightning, his body shook like an electric shock.
After a while, the potion took effect slowly, and the veins on his face protruded. He felt his flesh and bones twisted into twists like someone twisting a towel, and waves of pain gushed out like a flood.
"Hiss..."
Zhou Jing took a breath, gritted his teeth and endured.
Waves of strength were born simultaneously with the pain, and he could feel his body slowly becoming stronger in the pain, and his physical fitness seemed to break through some kind of boundary and climb steadily.
But although it feels very painful, it doesn't seem to be that difficult... Maybe it's not the [Toughness] talent of this body that is taking effect?
Baron stared intently at the side, watching worriedly.
Although he felt that with Zhou Jing's exaggerated physique, it was impossible to strengthen the failure, but before it became a reality, he still felt uneasy and worried.
After all, this is also the first time for him to experience the strengthening of ordinary people whose basic body is not weaker than that of blood warriors, and he doesn't know what will happen.
As time passed by, Zhou Jing was trembling slightly, sweating profusely, wet the floor.
After about three hours, the pain gradually subsided and turned into a tingling like ironing.
Zhou Jing only felt a feeling of rebirth, and a strong sense of strength filled his body.
He couldn't help clenching his fists, having the illusion that he could smash anything he saw.
"There are no symptoms of discomfort...the strengthening must have been successful."
He took a breath and glanced at the panel, only to see that the message had swiped the screen.
[Obtain the extraordinary power system [different blood warrior]]

"The four characteristics, the enhancement effect should be outstanding."
Zhou Jing was overjoyed.
The characteristics given by the different blood enhancement depend on the animal from which the potion comes from. As many abilities as there are in a different animal, there are as many additional characteristics as there are.
However, when 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 fitness of the enhancer, and so on.
And his basic physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people. The result of this strengthening is quite impressive, far better than Ross.
"26 points of stamina, 20 points of resistance, my current level has far surpassed Baron, and I should be able to crush the blood warrior who was strengthened once... I don't know if I have reached the standard for the second strengthening."
Zhou Jing's thoughts changed slightly.
After strengthening, the attribute has increased significantly, but the suffix is still the first level, and the value of the dividing line is temporarily unknown.
He took a closer look at the changes brought about by the strengthening, and his reaction speed was extremely fast, and he always felt like being shocked by electricity.
The body is very light and nimble, and the strength is quite full, especially the momentary movements can produce huge explosive power.
He casually punched an afterimage in the air, with a bang, the friction of his sleeves was like a popping sound.
Seeing this, Baron was finally relieved, and laughed happily, shaking his beard.
"I just said that you will be able to strengthen successfully, how do you feel now?"
"I feel like I can hit ten now." Zhou Jing moved his shoulders.
"Haha, it's normal. I also felt the same way when I was first strengthened. The body that is suddenly strengthened will become difficult to control. 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 your body. In order to regain control."
Baron spoke of experience.
Zhou Jing blinked.
Is it difficult to control, why doesn't it seem like this... I have to find some time to experiment.
However, he did not refute, nodded and listened to Baron's teaching.
"Based on your physique, I'm afraid you're catching up to the level of secondary strengthening now, and you still need to practice control." Baron was a little envious, and congratulated: "From now on, you will be a blood warrior, and if you don't Ordinary people, tomorrow I will take you to replace a whole set of equipment, and then buy some potions or something... I will lend you the money first, and then just pay it back later"
"Okay." Zhou Jing didn't reject Baron's kindness, he really needed some help.
"You have a good rest tonight and take it easy."
Baron nodded and didn't say much.
He also experienced strengthening, knowing that Zhou Jing must be excited to study his own changes at this time, so he didn't stay in the room any longer, and went back to the next room to leave Zhou Jing's private space.
Although he was curious about Zhou Jing's enhanced level, he still restrained his curiosity after thinking about it.
The person who just finished strengthening is not serious, he thinks it's getting late, and he doesn't want to disturb the neighbors
——It's impossible to be cowardly, but I just think it's unnecessary to have a big night, no need...
After sending Baron away and closing the door, Zhou Jing stopped his tense expression, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
He took off his shirt and looked down at the changes in his body.
Originally, the figure was strong and muscular, but now the muscles of the whole body are streamlined, the lines are clear, the eight-pack abdominal muscles are well-defined, the mermaid line is deep, and the whole body is more coordinated.
I can clearly feel that a strong body is more explosive.
On the panel, an achievement is also displayed simultaneously.
[Trigger achievement [Enter the extraordinary (unique)]]
[Get 1000 star points! [Qualification Improvement - Comprehensive (Small)] x1! ]
——Obtaining the first extraordinary system can trigger this achievement, and there is also an achievement reward for a small increase in all aptitudes.
The ability to strengthen the body is also an extraordinary power. It is the first time I experience it, and the feeling is really different, and the energy is extremely strong.
Although more than three months have passed in the world of alien beasts, most of the time has been spent in placement according to its own plan. The main world has actually only passed about four days.
The difficulty of obtaining this power is not as difficult as he expected.
Zhou Jing was excited and pulled Rose to test his current physical limit.
Ross is the best tool man, with a level of enhancement, he is a perfect test subject, no matter how he treats him, he will not complain.
Zhou Jing tested it several times, and gained a clearer understanding of his own physical limit and the strengthening level represented by Ross, and made an accurate comparison.
I have a good foundation, stronger strength after strengthening, and crush Rose in all aspects of physical fitness, almost as easy as a father beating his son. If it was replaced by another blood warrior who had been strengthened once, he would probably be able to deal with multiple levels of enemies.
As for how many can be played, it's hard to say, after all, I haven't tried it.
The destructive power was also tested. Zhou Jing went to the hotel to ask for some materials. Solid wood can be broken easily in his hand, and can be crushed into pieces with force. Stone bricks are also fragile in front of fists.
"With such physical fitness, it should be very easy to flatten the buildings of this era."
Zhou Jing had a vague idea that when fighting against alien beasts, the hunter might fight hard, but if it caused trouble in the city, it might be like a bulldozer.
However, the world of alien beasts does not have various instruments in the main world, so it is impossible to test the specific physical parameters, so he can only estimate as much as possible.
Zhou Jing took Rose to study over and over again all night, discovering the changes in the current body, never tired of it.
……
Early the next morning, Zhou Jing and Baron took a brief tour of Baiyuan City and bought some things.
There are three most important items for a beast hunter, armor, weapon and potion.
Generally speaking, weapons and armor made of exotic animal materials are of better quality, but they are quite expensive.
Different beast equipment is not free to exchange like different blood potions, they all require money, even hunters who bring back their prey have to pay processing fees.
Zhou Jing was cash-strapped, so he had no plans to buy alien beast equipment for the time being. Instead, he borrowed some money from Baron and bought a set of standard alien beast hunter leather armor.
Black and green, with shoulder pads, it is not only cut and stab resistant, but also has good portability.
Then I went to the blacksmith's shop. After picking and choosing, I bought a hundred-forged long knife with a slightly curved arc.
Because he was practicing saber skills and took the high-sensitivity and high-explosive strengthening route, Zhou Jing felt that it would be a good choice to use a high-speed weapon to give full play to his own advantages.
However, although the Lightning Strike Leopard potion mainly strengthens agility, the strength brought by 26 points of physical fitness is still far higher than that of a once-enhanced alien blood warrior. Come in handy when you're a beast.
Walking out of the blacksmith shop, Zhou Jing was already well dressed.
Brand new black and green hunter leather armor, with two knives on his body, the long knife is slung at his waist, and the original heavy knife is still on his back.
There is no assembly line technology in the world of alien beasts, and the handmade equipment is really not cheap. It cost Baron nearly twenty Terra silver coins to replace all the outfits—this is the common currency of the Terra Empire.
This amount of money is considered huge for ordinary farmers, while hunters sell an ordinary beast to the workshop, and the price is usually around 80 Terra silver coins.
Baron looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's looking good, and then we have to go to the pharmacy to buy some hunting potions."
"Not going to the hunter's workshop?" Zhou Jing was curious.
"The workshop only processes exotic animal materials. The hunter potion we use for hunting is made from herbs. You can't buy it in the workshop. You have to go to a serious pharmacy."
Baron explained.
When a beast hunter is hunting, he will use some potions to temporarily strengthen himself, which are called hunter potions. There are different characteristics, some reduce pain and increase excitement, and some treat injuries and restore physical fitness.
Because the physique of a beast hunter is different from that of ordinary people, the effects of hunter potions are generally quite strong, making it difficult for ordinary people to use. Therefore, making hunter potions is a major category of pharmacy in this world. How to configure herbs to ensure that hunter potions work without causing too many side effects is a science.
Therefore, the pharmacists in this world are roughly divided into three research directions, one is to study the craft of different blood potions, the second is to study the formula of hunter potions, 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 center of the town.
The pharmacy occupies a large area, with people coming and going, the business is quite prosperous, and there are two teams of eight guards standing guard at the door.
"There are quite a few people." Zhou Jing looked around and said tut-tsk.
Baron shrugged: "There is only one pharmacy in the city, and you can only buy pharmacy here. Of course, there are too many people."
Zhou Jing raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you open more stores? There will always be pharmacists who want to open their own stores, right?"
"Lord Root has an order that pharmacists are not allowed to open a shop without permission. If you want to sell medicine, you can only cooperate with this pharmacy, either sell the medicine to them, or become their cooperative pharmacist. It is said that this law is for Guarantee the quality of medicines bought by residents in the city, and prevent some pharmacists who are not qualified enough to sell medicines of substandard 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 property of the lord?"
"Who knows, but the lord must be provided with taxes." Baron stroked his beard.
In this era of World of Alien Beasts, most anti-monopoly laws do not exist. The lord is the largest local monopoly and has a series of tax collection rights.
Zhou Jing didn't have any ideas either, just do as the Romans do.
Seeing that the two were carrying weapons, the guards at the pharmacy immediately came to interrogate them. This time they were much stricter than the guards at the city gate.
After finally coping with the interrogation, the two entered the pharmacy.
But as soon as he entered the door, he happened to meet a person walking out hurriedly with his head down, as if he didn't look at the way ahead, he was about to bump into Zhou Jing.
Zhou Jing reacted quickly, swipe to get out of the way, and dodged.
This person was startled when he realized that he almost hit someone, and suddenly he lost his foot and rolled down the steps with an ouch.
Looking at this scene, Zhou Jing couldn't help but elbow Rose next to him, with surprise in his words:
"Look, I found someone who is more stupid than you."
Ross: (→_→)
The man bared his teeth and stood up, and Zhou Jing saw his appearance clearly. He was haggard and thin, with a goatee, wearing a rough uniform of a pharmacy, and seemed to be an employee of the store.
"Why don't you look at the road?" The man with the goatee rubbed his knees and complained subconsciously.
However, when he raised his head and saw Zhou Jing's appearance clearly, his expression changed suddenly.
The man with the goatee shut up immediately, turned his head and left in a hurry without saying anything else.
"Is he afraid of me?"
Zhou Jing rubbed his chin, wondering if he was that scary.
Baron was not surprised: "It's normal~IndoMTL.com~ We 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.
He is not surprised that superpowers in the main world occasionally receive similar treatment in their lives.
Zhou Jing didn't take this matter to heart, followed Baron into the pharmacy, and came to the shelf of the hunter potion.
The price of hunter potions is usually three Terra silver coins, and some potions marked as "strong" can even cost more than ten Terra silver coins.
"Is it a bit too expensive..."
Zhou Jing secretly grinned.
Ordinary people definitely don't buy hunter potions, but hunters don't need much money, so the price is relatively high. Is this because of accurate customer positioning?
He is not sure about the cost of the hunter potion, but he always feels that it is a profitable industry.
No wonder the lord is in his hands...
While pondering on his side, Baron had bought four bottles of hunter potion with ease, and distributed half of them to Zhou Jing.
"One bottle lasts for excitement, and the other bottle has the effect of temporarily suppressing injuries. These are the two most commonly used for hunting. Take it."
"Thanks, I will pay you back when I earn money from hunting."
After Zhou Jing collected the potion, he silently calculated the debt he owed Baron, which was about twenty-five Terran silver coins.
The money is not much, and you can pay it back after hunting once, so there is not 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 good place."
Saying that, Baron hugged Zhou Jing's shoulders, hehe said:
"That is the most important thing for us hunters... The Hunter's Tavern!"
