Volume 6: The Twelve Wallfacers Chapter 67: Fight, Shen Jin!
After a scuffle, Sun Can was frustrated to find that... he seemed to have failed to hide the system's secrets well, and had no choice but to be frank with Shen Jin.
And the people behind him also agreed to this behavior.
Shen Jin and Sun Can came into the workshop, and then a white light flashed, and the two disappeared from the spot, and came to a mysterious metal space filled with various supplies.
Sun Can asked in surprise: "Where is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"This is the retreat for you and me..."
"us?"
"That's right! If one day we are no match for the zombies, this place will give us some respite for a while..."
Sun Can seemed to understand, "Why do you say we? Shouldn't you take your girlfriends and maids with you?"
"Ahem! A girlfriend is just a girlfriend, not a maid! I just go to watch old friends' dance performances occasionally... Let's not talk about this. I will definitely take them with me, but you are more special. My intuition tells me that in order to end this apocalypse, the system owner must not die. It is very likely that we will all prosper together and suffer together!"
Sun Can was deeply touched. "Yes, the system tasks on my side have issued multiple tasks to directly save you and indirectly help you. I guess they don't want you to die!"
Shen Jin rolled his eyes: "Of course! Our systems are from the same family. If I'm not mistaken, you chose a ball of fire, right?"
"That's right. When I went there, there were only three platforms made of black and purple stones in the entire space. One of the platforms was empty, and the others had a ball of fire and a sword. My grandfather always said that we should choose the path with more information, so I chose the more fancy-looking fire and gained my current abilities!"
This was the first time Shen Jin heard Sun Can talk in detail about the time when he chose the system. He pondered for a moment, with a thoughtful look . "So... there should be only three systems. The first one I chose was a pickaxe, which gave me the ability to block. If I'm not mistaken... you got a system similar to an RPG role-playing game, where you can upgrade and learn skills. This game is called... "New World"?"
Sun Can was shocked!
"Ah! You guessed it? Shit, I thought I had covered it up well!"
Afterwards, Sun Can went on to explain his system capabilities in detail, especially the most critical one: "When my experience bar is full, I will level up directly, my status will be restored to full, and my strength will be improved. Every 10 levels is a threshold. When I reach the tenth level, I will be promoted to a first-level transcendent. Levels 20 and 30 correspond to second- and third-level transcendents respectively!"
Shen Jin keenly discovered a problem. Sun Can is now at the peak of the third level. "Wait, what level are you now?"
Sun Can smiled confidently and straightened his back. He had lived under Shen Jin's halo for too long. Today! He was going to stand up!
"Level 39!"
"hiss--"
Hearing Shen Jin take a breath, Sun Can also cooperated by letting out a comfortable moan of "Ah~!~!"
"Then your mission is also..."
Sun Can sneered, "It's just a promotion to the fourth-level extraordinary. I'm not bragging, I'm already level 39 with 99% of the experience. If I kill a large wave of zombies tomorrow, I'll be able to level up. This mission is simply giving me skill points!"
"gaio!"
Shen Jin almost cursed out loud. Looking at other people's systems, they could directly upgrade their levels by killing monsters. On his side, he still needed to cooperate with the [Crystal Core Shop] to upgrade slowly, and he didn't have the potion to upgrade to the fourth level!
What would he do without medicine?
Shen Jin's strength was almost entirely improved by drugs. Now it is too difficult for him to advance from the third level to the fourth level on his own!
He is not a combat genius!
Shen Jin has always had a clear understanding of himself. He is just an ordinary transcendent. Not to mention a genius like Hu Shou, or a cheat like Li Moxiao, he is not even as good as masters like Zhu Dan and the Taoist priest. In fact... he is not as comprehension-savvy as Yang Ao and Meng San. "Damn it! You are making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger!"
Shen Jin's face was filled with black lines. If it was just an ordinary task, it would be fine. Even if he couldn't complete it, he could slowly work on it. Sooner or later, he would be able to get there. After all, with his current physical fitness and the assistance of technology, it would not be a problem for him to live for two hundred years. By then, with the help of Tianluodiwang and other masters, he would have a chance to be promoted to the fourth level of transcendence.
But!
The dog system has set a time limit, and now there are less than 4 months left before the zombies start the next stage of the time lock. The punishment for failure is something Shen Jin cannot accept!
Deprive him of all his system abilities, and he will immediately become an ordinary... Lord.
Yes, even if Shen Jin lost his abilities, he would still have enough things left for the rest of his life, and he could still control the No. 1 Home Base for a long time. After all, his personal prestige was already very high, and he was even becoming a bit of a myth...
But at that time, he could only rely on his previous capital, just like the ordinary extraordinary soldiers under him. He also used the three-piece set of the craftsman soul to obtain partial cube ability to use the boxes of supplies he left behind. If these supplies were not confiscated by the system...
"You can't just make so many things disappear out of thin air, right?"
Shen Jin speculated based on the nature of the system that it would not do such an unreasonable thing. After all, the things were right here, and it would be too unscientific for them to disappear out of thin air...
Even if his system was obtained from a big shot in the ancient ruins, it would only take back his own abilities.
Of course, this is just Shen Jin's own reasoning. No one can predict what will happen at that time. "But no matter what, I must not lose the ability of the system!"
Shen Jin still has a lot of things to do, he must complete this task!
Sun Can was obviously much more relaxed at this time. This task was just a reward delivered to him. Whether there was this task or not, he would soon reach level 40.
The one who is under pressure is Shen Jin.
After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Jin looked at Sun Can and said, "During this period of time... I need you to help me practice!"
Sun Can's face changed, "What kind of practice are you talking about?"
"Of course, it's to be promoted to a fourth-level extraordinary person, what else?"
"Oh...it's nothing. I just suddenly remembered a scene from a movie over there!"
"etc!"
Shen Jin suddenly remembered something and looked at Sun Can with a sharp gaze: "You... over there?"
"Um...I was talking about a movie I used to like!"
"oh……"
Shen Jin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Just a movie...
Next, Shen Jin said, "With this system task, I will focus on training and upgrading in the next period of time. Tell me what is the fastest way to train?"
"Kill! Breakthrough in battle. Although I also rely on the system to upgrade, but... sometimes my comprehension ability is in place and I will skip levels. This is the part where I break through in battle. If it weren't for these skips, I wouldn't be able to reach such a high level now!"
"Fighting..."
…
The two left this secret place. When they left, Sun Can didn't know where he was. Even the built-in positioning module of the quantum helmet could not analyze it. This place seemed to be shrouded in an extremely strong interfering magnetic field that made it impossible for the machine to recognize it.
Sun Can silently memorized Shen Jin's backup plan. Who knows, they might need it in the future. Now that the matter of the system has been made clear, the two of them are now on the same front. They also had a deep discussion. They have both been looking for the owner of the third system, but... they have never found it. "Where is the person who chose the 'sword'?"
…
After separating from Sun Can, Shen Jin called the Tianluodiwang headquarters again. He wanted to speak to Hu Shou who had just been released from confinement.
The signalman over there hurriedly reported the news to Hu Shou. After a moment, "I am Hu Shou, long time no see!"
"Look up at the sky!"
After Shen Jin finished speaking, a white light enveloped his body. The next second, Shen Jin appeared in the air above the Tianluodiwang headquarters. Hu Shou's body floated out without any movement, and he stood in the air, looking at Shen Jin at a distance.
After staring at each other for a long time, the two laughed at the same time, "Hahahaha——"
"Ha ha ha ha--"
"Congratulations to Commander Hu for successfully breaking through to the fourth level!"
"It seems that your technological capabilities are improving very quickly. Have you mastered stable space teleportation technology now?"
Shen Jin nodded: "However, my ability of space transmission... I'm afraid it can't stop a fourth-level extraordinary person, right?"
Hu Shou stretched out his hand and pinched it gently. Shen Jin felt the space around him become sticky instantly. The [Space Locator] in his hand issued a rapid prompt sound. It had lost the ability to locate in space, could not find the 10 stored coordinate points, and could not be teleported.
Hu Shou said seriously: "Level 4 Transcendents have already mastered the control of energy to the extreme. If you don't have any other backup plans... you will most likely not be able to escape from my hands!"
Shen Jin smiled bitterly: "Sure enough... Is this the ability of the fourth level? It's no wonder that Commander Hu has been stuck in this realm for half a year. I thought I had estimated it high enough, but... it's even more outrageous than I imagined!"
No wonder the system's ability couldn't help him advance to the fourth level. At this stage, he already had the ability to influence the rules of reality...
Hu Shou released his hand, and the space on Shen Jin's side became stable again, and the function of the [space locator] was restored.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for? Do you want to know how to advance to the fourth level?"
Shen Jin nodded: "Yes, I need to be promoted to the fourth-level extraordinary person within 3 months. Teach me, I can give the greatest support to Tianluodiwang!"
"How much can you give? Our intelligence department knows most of the technology of Homeland No. 1. At this point, we should stop hiding it!"
Shen Jin took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you... the equipment and charging facilities to clean up the zombies!"
"Plasma laser robbery?"
"Its original name is [Mining Laser Gun]. Anyway, I can give it to you, but you have to guarantee that I can be promoted to the fourth level within three months!"
Hu Shou shook his head: "No one can guarantee that you will be promoted to the fourth level in three months, but... I can help you now, relax and don't resist!"
After saying that, Hu Shou instantly flew to Shen Jin's side, and his speed was no slower than his quantum suit!
Shen Jin instinctively tensed up, and the quantum suit was about to activate the electric defense field, but... Shen Jin looked at Hu Shou with clear eyes, and felt relieved again. If there was one person in the Tianluodiwang that Shen Jin could absolutely trust, that person was Hu Shou...
He has always been responsible for every word he said. Even if he wants to do something to you, he will tell you the truth, openly and aboveboard.
"Perhaps... it is this open-minded character that makes him a genius in cultivation? A pure heart? Or a noble sentiment..."
Shen Jin finally let down his guard and let Hu Shou get close to him. Hu Shou stretched out his index and middle fingers side by side, shaking slightly, looking very much like Kato Ying...
Then he struck Shen Jin's body in many places quickly and seriously. Shen Jin felt a great force burst out from many acupuncture points in his body, and then the energy in his body began to run wildly under the drive of this force, "Bang bang bang!"
There was a sound of gas explosion on Shen Jin's body. In each of his meridians, his supernatural power started to work automatically. The energy in his dantian became more and more. Finally, Hu Shou stopped and said, "Cough! Ha!"
Shen Jin couldn't help but spit out a breath of pure energy mixed with layers of black matter. At that moment, the surrounding space began to tremble slightly. Shen Jin closed his eyes, gathered all the energy in his body, returned it to his dantian, and exhaled again.
"Been taught a lesson……"
The raging energy around him calmed down. Shen Jin mastered the abilities of a third-level transcendent and completely reached the peak level of the third level, standing on the same starting line as Sun Can.
Hu Shou waved his hand: "You have accumulated enough. I just found out that you use your superpowers quite a lot every day. The quantity and quality of your superpowers have reached the critical value. You just lack the momentum to make a breakthrough. It's strange. Maybe you don't think you can be promoted?"
Hu Shou's words stumped Shen Jin, "Is it me... who doesn't think I can be promoted?"
Immediately, Shen Jin recalled his life during this period...
He would produce a lot of supernatural fruits every day to provide logistical support for the extraordinary teams. He would also absorb the energy of the crystal core with the help of an energy atomizer and practice meridian method every day. However... he did not seem to have the intention of reaching the fourth level.
Instinctively, Shen Jin didn't think he could reach the fourth level. He... was used to relying on the system's potions to improve.
Forgot...he can still rely on himself.
He didn't even realize that he had reached the critical point for promotion.
Hu Shou seemed to have guessed something and patted Shen Jin on the shoulder: "Your ability is very interesting and your potential is not low. I hope you can comprehend your own path when you reach the fourth level... Come on, I will help you reach the fourth level as soon as possible!"
Although Hu Shou was not sure about Shen Jin's promotion to the fourth level before, after examining Shen Jin's body, he unexpectedly discovered... that his foundation was surprisingly good!
Shen Jin came back to his senses from his trance, "Commander Hu, you mean... I have a chance to reach the fourth level in three months?"
"There's a good chance... Come, look at this picture!"
Hu Shou took out the fourth picture obtained from the ancient ruins in Australia. On it, two little men, one white and one black, were confronting each other in the air.
"Remember, no matter , you must remember your original intention. The evolutionary paths of the mutants and the gene-locked ones are different. My experience can only help you partially. Whether you can really cross this threshold depends on you!"
Shen Jin's eyes were drawn to the painting. He could not understand the painting before, but now he could understand the clues...
This time, Shen Jin can only rely on himself.
…
The next day, Shen Jin, Sun Can and Sun Li brought some of their subordinates to City B, the place where Chinese zombies were the most ferocious. Shen Jin took out his weapon and led the charge. He wanted to find the way to reach the fourth level in the battle!
Fight, Shen Jin!
