Chapter 306: Mutation of the Human Body
With a thud, Mu Long beside him also fell down. He had broken both arms and lost a lot of blood, but he was still able to hold on until now. His willpower was incomparable to ordinary people. Now that everything was settled, he finally couldn't hold on and fell down.
So a group of naked people hurriedly carried the two seriously injured soldiers. Although the cracks on Su Ming's skin and flesh were small, once his body was touched and moved, those tiny cracks would all open up, and bright red blood would flow out of the cracks. Although these wounds looked only superficial injuries on the surface, they were actually very deep.
Behind, the alarm at Houying No. 1 Middle School was still ringing, and someone had already gone to notify Akratia.
Akratia's ability is [Projection Healing], which has the effect of being able to copy the state of a healthy part of the body to another part in a mirrored state. Among the healing-type abilities, it is a very good one.
For example, if one of Cass's arms is broken, there is no need to pick up the broken arm. He can directly use Akratia's [Projection Treatment] to restore it perfectly.
However, someone like Mu Long, who has both arms broken, cannot use this power. Someone like Su Ming, who does not have a single piece of healthy flesh on his body, cannot use this power either.
In order to treat Su Ming and Mu Long, other people with healing abilities must do so. Of course, this will take longer to recover and may even leave some sequelae.
…
Three days later, Su Ming finally woke up from his coma.
When Su Ming woke up, he found his perspective a little strange.
The injuries on his body have completely healed, but his vision has become extremely clear and sharp. He can even see the floating dust in the air. It is as if the world he saw before was covered with a layer of gray, and now he has truly lifted the veil and can see the world clearly.
What's going on with these eyes?
Su Ming stood up and looked around. He was lying on a white bed in a white room. This place was supposed to be a classroom, but it was converted into a medical room.
There were many empty beds around, but he was the only patient in the entire classroom. The space was unspeakably quiet, as if he had woken up alone on a summer afternoon when he was a child.
Su Ming saw a mirror on the bedside table, so he picked it up to take a picture and found that there were some changes in his eyeballs.
The specific change is that his pupils have dilated.
"What's going on?" Su Ming looked at himself with dilated pupils, and it seemed strange no matter how he looked at it.
Human eyes have a pupil in the middle of the iris, and the iris color of Chinese people is generally dark brown, close to black, so from a distance they actually look like black eyeballs. However, in Su Ming's eyes, 70% of the area in the center of the iris is a black pupil.
Although at first glance they look exactly the same as normal people, if you stare at them for a long time, you'll start to feel a sense of weirdness that's different from humans.
Su Ming looked up at the fluorescent light above his head while continuing to look at himself in the mirror. He then discovered that his pupils had shrunk, shrinking to almost a slit, just like a cat's pupils.
It is certain that my body has mutated and my eyes are no longer human.
"Is this the aftereffect of entering the beast soul state deeply?"
Su Ming continued looking at the mirror for a few minutes and accepted the reality. Although his eyeballs had mutated, the rest of his body was still human, which he should be thankful for. Moreover, the mutated eyeballs were not that weird. If you didn't look closely, they looked no different from ordinary people. If you looked closely, they looked like they were wearing colored contact lenses... so he could still accept it.
Even this super dynamic vision and focusing ability enhanced Su Ming's combat effectiveness.
"It's okay." Su Ming comforted himself.
He moved his cervical vertebrae and shoulder joints, jumped off the bed and jumped a few times on the spot. He felt nothing wrong with his body and his injuries seemed to have fully recovered.
It seems that they have already asked a healing psychic to treat me, Su Ming thought.
Then, he opened the system and began to search for the spoils of this battle. He vaguely remembered that after he defeated Bai Long, the system reminded him that he had obtained something, but he was seriously injured at that time and was thinking about rescuing Gu Dongshu and the others from the mirror world, so he didn't care.
The system reminded him that the energy used to activate the annihilation mode had been exhausted and was at 0%, so he had to recharge quickly.
Su Ming closed the system reminder bar and clicked on the feature column. He saw that his feature column had become five, and all five grids were currently filled. There was an extra feature reminder that could not be taken effect.
The characteristics that currently fill the five grids are: [Return from Hell], [Dream Lover], [Poisonous Body], [Beast Soul], and [Demon Sword's Obsession].
Hmm? The demon sword's obsession?!
Oh, right! When the annihilation mode was activated, the Slaughter Heart was still on him. The Slaughter Heart was an abnormal item, so it was naturally destroyed by the Absolute Domain.
"Captain, I'm sorry for destroying the self-defense item you gave me. But don't worry, I will use it well." Su Ming muttered to himself and clicked on the introduction of the new feature.
[The demon sword's obsession: Even if it is just a sword, I must always strive for progress.
Rating: C
Effect: When you use this ability with any sword, the sword will absorb the life force of the sword holder, the quality of the sword will be improved, and it will gain the special concept [Sharpness], and this effect will last forever. 】
Although it is only a C-level feature, the effect seems to be quite good.
Well, now a new problem arises. The characteristic grid is full and needs to be merged or decomposed to allow new characteristics to come in, so Su Ming must now choose which material to be sacrificed.
"Anyway, let's see how well everyone integrates. I can't bear to leave you either." Su Ming said.
He placed each characteristic on the fusion position and observed the chance of successful fusion. For some reason, the success rate of fusion of Hell Return with other characteristics was extremely low, and the success rate of fusion of other characteristics was also very low.
Seeing that the success rate is less than 5%, it is highly likely to be a waste even if they are fused. Although in the long run, fusion is the most cost-effective way to improve combat effectiveness, if you know this probability and still fuse, you are simply crazy.
Although some crazy people often talk about betting that a bicycle can be turned into a motorcycle, Su Ming is a very rational person and he will not take such a risk.
What's more, the annihilation mode has run out of energy. In order to prevent encountering unusual monsters like the White Dragon next time, the system urgently needs to replenish energy.
"What should I do? From the perspective of level priority, decomposing the demon sword's obsession is the best choice, but from the perspective of being beneficial in battle, the characteristic of Dream Lover is useless... However, although Dream Lover is usually useless, it can play an unexpected effect at some critical moments... It seems that the poisonous body can also be decomposed. It has a strong targeted effect, but its versatility is too low."
Su Ming muttered to himself, hesitant, not knowing which of the three to decompose.
While thinking, he kept randomly matching the characteristics on the fusion column. Then, with a shake of his hand, he put the magic sword's ability on the main fusion position and the poisonous body on the secondary fusion position. The fusion probability, which had been maintained below 5% , suddenly soared to 50%!
Su Ming was stunned, stopped what he was doing, squinted his eyes and stared at the system floating window in front of him, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong.
Yes, it really is a 50% success rate. Why would the success rate be higher if this procedure is done?
Quite interesting.
Does it mean that if high-level characteristics are used as materials for low-level characteristics, the chance of fusion will increase?
Su Ming tried to put Hell Return in the secondary fusion position and other characteristics in the primary fusion position, but found that the fusion probability was still very low.
It seems that compatibility is also required. It is not possible to increase the success rate by simply providing high-level items as materials for low-level items, Su Ming thought.
However, it is certain that the difference in the positions of the main and secondary fusion will definitely lead to huge differences in the final results.
Su Ming thought about it and decided to try to use the poisonous body as a fusion material for the demon sword's obsession. Although he didn't know what the result would be, this attempt had great value. If successful, by observing the final result, he might be able to discover the unexplained rules of the fusion function.
[Main Position: Demon Sword's Obsession]
[Secondary Position: Poisonous Body]
After setting the position, Su Ming clicked the fusion button in his mind, and a series of scrolling ellipsis appeared on the interface.
To be honest, this short wait of just a few seconds was quite torturous. Su Ming clenched his fists, feeling both expectant and nervous.
[Ding! Fusion successful! Gained new feature [Knife of Kindness]]
Awesome! System, you are really my super system!
Su Ming was very excited, just like a gambler who won the bet, he felt a sense of pleasure of making free money.
He quickly clicked on the new feature and started reading.
[Knife of Kindness: Even if it is just a knife, you must always strive for progress and do good deeds!
Rating: B
Effect: When this feature is activated with any sword, the sword will absorb the vitality of the person who touches it, the quality of the sword will be improved, and it will gain the special concept [Sharpness]. This effect will last forever. In addition, the host can cut himself with this knife and choose to gain immunity to toxic substances within the next hour. This effect can only be activated once within 24 hours. 】
After reading the instructions, Su Ming roughly understood why the success rate of fusion would be so high when the Toxic Body was placed in the secondary position.
The original effect of the poisonous body is to allow the body to adapt to the toxicity in a short period of time and eliminate the various effects caused by the toxicity. It is a complete immunity to toxicity for 24 hours.
But this knife is not like that now. If you want to use it to fight against poison, you must know in advance that you may be poisoned, and it can only last for one hour a day. It can be said that it has wiped out all the essence of the poisonous body, leaving only a tiny function that is extremely difficult to use.
The disappearance of the poisonous body freed up the grid, and the chaos fragments stored in the redundant warehouse were filled into the characteristic grid.
Su Ming opened the Chaos Fragment and began to read the instructions of the Chaos Fragment.
