Chapter 158 Configuration Optimization
Bill, who was standing by, had already recorded the conversation between Su Ming and Arthur, which would be of great benefit to Arthur's campaign.
Obviously, Su Ming backed off in the face of a dangerous mission, but Arthur went in without hesitation.
If this video were released, it would definitely completely overturn the public's view of Su Ming!
Flora stood beside Su Ming, somewhat confused, and asked hesitantly, "Should we... not go in?"
"Not going in yet."
After Su Ming finished speaking, he pulled Alice and turned around to walk back. The other operators around were all stunned. Lin Fei was shocked. It took him a while to react and he rushed to Su Ming.
"What were you talking about!"
"I said I need to get ready before I go in. "
"What are you thinking about! Now that Arthur has gone in, you don't go in. If the people in District 11 find out, the character you created before will completely collapse!" Lin Fei said in a low voice.
He simply couldn't imagine that Su Ming would do such a stupid thing. First, he asked his opponent to cooperate with him, and then asked him to postpone the task. This was cautious at best, and cowardly at worst!
The reason why Minister Sylvie agreed to the request of the 19th Bureau and sent Su Ming to solve this anomaly was because the impact of this anomaly was huge and expanded rapidly, causing a huge number of people to disappear in a short period of time.
Many people in Dongyang Island are paying close attention to this white fog incident. Everyone hopes that the Investigation Bureau can eliminate this dangerous monster as quickly as possible. It can be said that Su Ming is carrying out his mission with the expectations of everyone. How can he retreat at such a critical moment!
What's worse is that this behavior does not fit Su Ming's image.
If Su Ming was usually so cautious, it would be understandable that he retreated now. However, Su Ming had previously portrayed an image of being strong and decisive. Now, facing the weirdness, he has walked to the door of white fog but does not go in. What should people think?
Everyone would think that Su Ming was scared!
Lin Fei looked at Su Ming's back and followed him.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly chased after him: "You must have a reason for doing this! What is it?"
"I feel the white fog is very dangerous." Su Ming said.
"Of course I know that! I mean, uh... I mean more specific reasons! For example, some analysis and judgment of the white mist, and so on."
"No, it's just a feeling."
Lin Fei licked his lips, completely speechless.
He couldn't understand Su Ming's behavior. There was no reason. He just backed off because of a feeling?
He can believe Su Ming's feelings, but the public doesn't!
The public will only think that this is Su Ming's excuse and that Su Ming is a coward!
It was not easy to get to this point where he could compete with Arthur, but Su Ming's actions just now completely reversed the situation.
No, he has to think of a way to save the situation, Lin Fei thought.
He didn't think for long before his eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "What preparations are you going to make next? If Bill releases that video, your approval rating will definitely plummet! But if I tell everyone about your preparation process, I don't think your approval rating will drop too much."
After saying that, Lin Fei paused and said very seriously: "This is the only way to save the current situation!"
Su Ming stopped, glanced at Lin Fei, and said, "My next preparation cannot be made public."
Lin Fei was stunned, lowered his head and remained silent.
"Dad, Dad, please walk slower! Alice can't keep up!" Alice followed closely with a sad face.
Xia Xiaoyu picked up Alice and said with a smile, "Willn't this keep us up?"
…
Su Ming and the others returned to the seventh inning as quickly as possible. As soon as they entered the door, they ran into Xi Wei. Xi Wei looked at Su Ming curiously and said lightly: "Why are you back? Didn't you go in with them?"
"Minister, I have to make some preparations!"
"Well... unnecessary preparations will only delay the opportunity to fight. Let me hear what you mean by unnecessary preparations." Sylvie said.
"I know very well that this is absolutely unnecessary. I will execute those criminals brought out of the Black Gate!" Su Ming said.
Surprise flashed in Sylvie's eyes. She turned and walked towards the elevator, with Su Ming following closely behind her.
"Little Flora, just wait here. Su Ming and I will be fine."
Flora was about to follow but was stopped by Sylvie.
Sylvie and Su Ming walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the twenty-first floor underground.
"Execute the criminals. It seems that you intend to seize the superpowers and optimize the tactical coordination between the superpowers." Sylvie said.
Su Ming nodded and cautiously asked, "I...I want to kill all the criminals brought out of the Black Gate. Is that okay? They ran into the Black Gate because they were wanted. It should be okay to kill them now, right?"
Sylvie turned her head and stared into Su Ming's eyes, her eyebrows slightly raised, then she turned her body and faced Su Ming: "Why do you want to kill them all? Can't you just pick the ability that you think is most suitable?"
"Not every ability is compatible with me, so I have to use them to feel which one is best."
"Hmm... probably not. What kind of criminal with special powers do you want?"
"I can use any power. The key is how it feels to use it."
"There are only five that can be executed. Maybe even if you kill them all, you won't be able to get the power you need."
Only five?
If there are only five of them, they can't replenish much energy. Last time in the Black Gate, in order to kill the king, he used up all his energy, and the backup energy is empty.
"Minister, I remember that there were at least several hundred people arrested, and the others were sentenced to life imprisonment?"
"No, they are all death sentences, but who carries out the execution must follow the procedures."
"Can't I solve it in advance?"
Sylvie sighed, "It's important to follow the rules. Even if you don't think it's necessary, you have to follow the rules when everyone else is watching you. Asking you to kill five people right now is already walking on the edge of the rules."
Su Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and cheered himself up. He silently prayed that the five had stronger abilities. Otherwise, the five bastards would only have a few tenths of energy, and in the end only two or three percent more. It would be very difficult to carry out the mission afterwards.
Xia Xiaoyu, who was standing by, noticed Su Ming's intention and wondered if she could help in any way, but this time it seemed like she could not help at all.
Su Ming had to seize the superpowers himself, so it would be useless even if she tied up the criminals. Even if the clues along the way would be ignored, the final step of the execution, which would be carried out by Su Ming himself, would definitely leave clues and be found.
What's more, Su Ming has already told Sylvie about his intention to execute the criminal. If the criminal disappears inexplicably, Su Ming will definitely be the first suspect.
The elevator reached the underground prison, and under the guidance of Sylvie, Su Ming began to execute the criminals.
Su Ming first decomposed the superpower [Use Fire] and obtained 1.5% of the energy.
In fact, Su Ming likes the ability of [Using Fire] very much, but the consumption of mental energy is too intense. If it is an intermittent, short-term battle, then the ability of [Using Fire] is very suitable. However, according to the current information, when going to the white fog world later, it is likely to experience extremely long battles, and the cost-effectiveness of using this ability is not so high.
"This person can grow sharp metal scales on his body." Sylvie introduced.
Su Ming nodded, executed the other party decisively, and in front of Sylvie, pretended to use the other party's special ability to show that it was inappropriate, and then decomposed it.
After breaking it down, he got 0.9% of the energy.
Then, Su Ming came to the second prison, and Xi Wei introduced: "This criminal can transfer his own injuries or negative states to others through long-term contact."
“It seems good.”
After a scream, the superpower was successfully seized. Just as Su Ming was about to decompose the superpower, the system showed that after decomposition, he would gain 2% of the energy.
This means that the value of this ability is very high, and the system shows that its effect is not limited to transferring one's own injuries to others, but can also transfer other people's injuries to oneself.
Seeing this effect, Su Ming's heartbeat began to speed up.
Because this special ability is tailor-made for Xia Xiaoyu!
With this special ability, even if Xia Xiaoyu gets injured in the future, he can transfer Xia Xiaoyu's injuries to himself and then let the doctor treat him.
Su Ming decisively kept this ability and decided to keep it in the ability column for a long time.
Afterwards, Su Ming went to other cells to learn about the superpowers of other criminals one by one. Taking into account that it was not so easy to create smoke after entering the other world, the priority of keeping the [Ghost Mist] left to him by Sun Lanxin was lowered. Naturally, there was no need to keep the low-level water-based superpower [I Love Playing with Water] that was specifically used in conjunction with [Ghost Mist].
In addition, Su Ming wanted a way to stably activate Hell Return, so he chose the other two abilities that could be matched.
It took Su Ming a full hour to complete the replacement of his entire superpower.
Now Su Ming's ability has become:
[Xia Xiaoyu Exclusive]: Can transfer injuries or negative physical conditions to other people through long-term contact, or vice versa.
[Knife wounds do not stop bleeding]: The damage caused to the enemy by hand-held metal weapons will not heal during the activation of the supernatural power, and will continue to deteriorate rapidly. As time goes by, the rate of deterioration will gradually increase.
[Blood Blade]: You can transform your own blood into a sharp blade or other weapons. The more blood you use in one breath, the better the quality of the weapon you make. When the blood consumption reaches a certain amount, you can make weapons that surpass what human technology can create.
After converting the three superpowers, the energy generated by the decomposition allowed the annihilation mode to be charged to about 5%.
Su Ming had to admit that he was very lucky this time, as the criminals who were allowed to be executed were all very powerful.
Although the annihilation mode does not have much energy, the other characteristics can also be regarded as backup energy sources. Not to mention that the S-level characteristic Hell Return can give 50% after decomposition, the other two characteristics, Chill and False Love, can both give 3% energy after decomposition .
In other words, if all of it is decomposed, Su Ming's energy can be 61%.
It's actually quite strange. B-level Chill is only worth 3% of the energy, but S-level Hell Return is worth 50%. The gap is outrageous.
"It's almost done. Let's prepare some modern weapons and we can set off. Minister, the use of Isabella this time is the same as last time." Su Ming said.
"I wish you success. Also," Sylvie narrowed her eyes and gave Su Ming a meaningful look, "When you come back this time, I will prepare as many criminals as possible for you."
