Stray Chapter 51: Power Up!
The strengthening this time is not as primitive and **** as the last time I did it myself, and there is no need to cut the wrist and let the larvae of the parasitic beast get into the flesh and blood.
But after Xia Ran paid a d-rank karma crystal, the "young snake" in his hand was suddenly pulled up by an inexplicable force. The large light ball above also cast a beam of light, which just hit it.
In the pure light, the larvae of the parasitic beast seemed to be disintegrating, turning into countless pure light particles, and then under the traction of the beam, they quickly converged on his left hand and merged into it.
Xia Ran felt a slight heat in her left hand, as if it was soaked in warm water. It took about half a minute before the beam disappeared, and the feeling in her left hand gradually subsided.
He thought about it, and the next moment, his left hand suddenly stretched out as if the rubber was stretched, and split from the palm at the same time!
In less than a second, four long tentacles appeared, like huge poisonous snakes mercilessly swallowing letters, surrounding him, and the sharp bone blades at the tip flashed terrifyingly. Hanmang.
“…”
“…”
For a moment, the air seemed to quiet down.
Xiao Zuo, whose memory is still stuck in the last moment of life and death, seems to be unable to accept such a sharp and huge contrast. It seems that the previous frame is still a **** battlefield, and the next frame is abruptly transformed into plain Moderate daily routine.
It took several seconds for it to put away its aggressive fighting stance, the split tentacles and the bone blade quickly merged into one, and then hovered in front of Xia Ran.
"What is this...where?"
"This is a white space, an absolutely safe place, and we are now out of danger..." Xia Ran thought for a while, and then said succinctly.
After all, it has been so long, he naturally gradually got used to this curious scene, and no longer has any rejection of his alienated left hand.
"I can't explain a lot of things to you, because I'm not particularly clear about it myself. I'll find a way to find some information for you later, and you'll understand it by then, so don't ask me now."
This is something he has decided a long time ago. The powerful learning ability of the parasitic beast can be used as a portable smart computer, as long as enough data and information are "input".
Although it is a reduced version of the computer, after all, no matter how strong the learning ability of the parasitic beast is, it is impossible to record the materials of a library, and probably cannot develop any 3D scanning and projection functions...
—but that's enough.
“…”
“…”
Xiao Zuo was silent for a while, and then said very calmly: "My cells seem to have doubled directly."
"Oh, it's because you've been strengthened..." Xia Ran said casually, this situation was in line with his estimation.
The strengthening of the parasite is probably to increase its special cells, and the increase of special cells allows it to rapidly assimilate more host's body cells, and increase the number of cells that can be split in an instant.
As a result, more and more powerful biological weapons can be mimicked and deformed. The most intuitive change is probably that the number of tentacles of the parasitic beast has become more and more tough; the bone blade will also become larger, harder and sharper...
For example, under normal circumstances, Xiao Zuo's attacking stance will only have two tentacles, but it has just woken up, and the first time it regains consciousness, it directly separates four tentacles, which is the proof.
It seems that it is also feasible to directly strengthen the parasitic parts, and there is no need to continue to increase the number of parasitic beasts from the host level.
However, it is only after the return that this "enhanced" option with a higher degree of freedom can be unlocked, and such a show can be done. Before that, this kind of thinking was simply unrealistic, and Xia Ran had never thought about it at all.
The remaining three parasitic beast larvae can also be made in the same way. In that case, Xia Ran's left hand will probably become a more terrifying monster than Gotou.
However, that would be contrary to Xia Ran's initial thoughts. Not only did he fail to realize enough funds, he also had to consume a considerable part of the karma crystals to strengthen a special equipment.
No matter how intelligent this piece of equipment is, no matter how closely it is connected to him, no matter how important it is at the moment... it is not his own power after all, it is still an "external force" in a certain sense.
The taciturn Xiao Zuo returned to his normal arm shape. This time, Xia Ran did not block his consciousness, but kept his perception and response to the outside world.
He collected the remaining three parasitic beast hatchlings and re-entered the public area through the wooden door.
……
……
There are many people setting up stalls in the square, and many stalls are often obvious at a glance, and there are not many products on display.
The scene where there are only four or five items of 3D projection information floating in a booth is the most common scene. There are only one or two items, and there are more than ten items...
It seems a bit shabby, but Xia Ran knows that this is a normal situation. If various items and equipment are so easy to obtain, he doesn't need to worry so much.
He also found a place to set up a booth, and put three parasitic beast larvae on it, and set the price...
Because she saw the recycling price of white space, Xia Ran is not worried that her price is unreasonable. And he didn't stay by the booth, but left directly to find his target.
This is to prevent someone from wasting his time by bargaining.
It turns out that this thing is really very popular. Within ten minutes, it was prompted to be bought one after another. It seems that they are all the same as Xia Ran, probably a newbie who has just gone through a mission or two. There is an urgent need for something that will be of great help to them.
Xia Ran is looking for her goal on this huge square while paying attention to the income. But not to mention finding a needle in a haystack, it is not an easy task, and he has not found a better choice than the white space recommendation.
After browsing around, he decided to return to his personal area when the last payment arrived.
First, I opened the exchange list, arranged them in the recommended order, and purchased five skill scrolls. It is worth mentioning that they are all spell scrolls, and the skills recorded are no longer ordinary skills such as Aikido, but Bronze-level starting magic.
The five spellbooks are "Soft Voice", "Wrath", "Courage", "Fear" and "Calm", all of which are basic illusion spells from a higher magical world...
——Because it is directly exchanged from the inventory of the white space, there is no preferential price, even if it is a packaged purchase, there is no concept of large quantity favorably.
Adding up, the money that Xia Ran just resold went to seventy-eighty-eight. It was really distressing, but he still gritted his teeth and bought another skill scroll, which recorded a name called "Breathing Method". "'s static skills.
Because it belongs to the foundation of the foundation, only 3000 points are needed to start directly. Xia Ran originally wanted to find a meditation technique with a Western system, but he didn't find anything suitable, so he didn't force it.
It seems to be the same anyway. The magic side is called "meditation", Buddhism is called "meditation", and Taoism is called "jing"... In fact, they are all different names for basic spiritual practice.
Because of the lack of time left, he did not move those spell scrolls for the time being, but firstly learned the static skill called "Respiratory Technique".
After that, after allocating the five free attribute points, he finally chose the most important "λ-driver system".
This thing is one of the highest manifestations of black technology in "Full Metal Frenzy". It can transform attack or defense impulses into energy with physical attributes, that is, transform personal consciousness into external manifestations.
It's just that this thing is usually a device that is directly mounted on the body. Xia Ran doesn't understand why White Space recommends it to him alone. Could it be that there are miniaturized individual soldier types?
"It can be exchanged into the brain, and the brain cell tissue is used as its structural frame. However, because it is not the original device, nor is it a system mounted on the relevant body, the strength of the effect will vary. Please find out for yourself..."
The answer given by the white space is this. Xia Ran, who has completed the exchange, suddenly changed his face.
But putting this aside, after spending seven to eighty-eight points in one breath, the strengthening of his spiritual attributes seems to have basically taken shape-
The potential of the "λ-driver system" has yet to be developed, but it has enabled him to transform his mental power into a real attack or defense, instead of having high attributes that cannot be transformed into real abilities.
As for the effect, it's pretty good. Xia Ran experimented a little and found that he can directly create a powerful attack equivalent to a normal sniper rifle, but then he needs to slow down and cool down for more than a minute. , unable to attack continuously and uninterruptedly.
Or to defend against continuous strafing attacks equal to the power of ordinary firearms, which can last for a few seconds, and this is when under attack, if not attacked, it seems that the λ-driver shield can be stronger than long-term maintenance.
Although it didn't destroy the world from the beginning, Xia Ran was quite satisfied with it.
After all, this is the performance that has just been strengthened. Whether it is the strength of the strengthening itself, or his own spiritual potential, both aspects have not been well developed, and there is still considerable room for improvement.
In addition, the left hand of the parasitic beast has been strengthened to a higher level, allowing him to have no fear of short-term encounters with the enemy, and his melee combat ability is definitely not a weakness.
The strong aspects have been strengthened and improved enough, and the attack and defense are also taken into account, while the theoretically insufficient aspects will not be held back, and even rely on the "external force" of special equipment to be improved to a level that is not much worse than the strengths, it can be said that it is very stable.
"Strength: 5"
"Agility: 12"
"Physical: 7"
"Intelligence: 7"
"Spirit: 30"
"Perception: 8"
"Enhanced: Parasite (Bronze), Lambda-driver System (Silver)"
"Abilities: Aikido, Combat Intuition, Breathing Technique"
"Equipment: Parasite (left hand)"
…………
This is Xia Ran's current personal information page.
It can be said that it has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the original "Useless People Start" panel.
The perception attribute has also increased a bit, which seems to be due to the recovery of his myopia, which is probably a pleasant surprise. However, it also shows a problem. He was obviously short-sighted before, and his perception attribute can still have a value of 7 points...
It is no wonder that because of the combination with the spirit, a skill such as "Battle Intuition" has been awakened.
There seems to be no reason other than talent to explain it.
