Chapter 73 Strong Growth (I went to the hospital today and the doctor said I had a growth on my live
Xu Tong was stunned for a moment, wondering if he had seen it wrong, but when he looked again, he could only see the old man's resentful eyes, so he had to lower his head angrily and ran into the kitchen to cook for the old man.
Four dishes and one soup, although the taste is average, the presentation looks pretty good. Together with a bottle of Erguotou, Mr. Song's favorite drink, Mr. Song's resentful eyes finally softened a lot.
But the strange thing is that no one mentioned today's matter at the dinner table.
The old man didn't mention it, so of course he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. After dinner, he cleared the table and lay down on his bed.
He summoned the prop book in front of him, and couldn't help but look at the [Star Eye Tribulation] prop card.
Although this prop card has a drawback, compared to its powerful attributes, it is completely outweighed by its flaws.
In addition to actively enhancing a skill, the two accompanying passives are extremely impressive in themselves.
One is to increase the control ability by 20%, coupled with the 30% increase in control ability brought by [Puppet Controller], the improvement in control ability has been a huge improvement.
The other is darkvision, which is both practical and free of charge.
But the dilemma now is which skill should be more cost-effective for him to bind [Star Eye Tribulation] to.
After careful consideration, he set his sights on the three skills of [Demon Power], [Paper Control Technique], and [Evil Sound].
The reason why these two skills were chosen is that there is a limit to the powerful increase, and skills that activate more than 10 script points cannot be enhanced.
For a big move like The Devil's Coming, the activation standard requires 40% of the script points.
No matter how poor I am, 40% will never be less than 20 script points, so this is far beyond the requirement for a strong increase.
If you forcefully choose to upgrade the Demon King's Advent, it's not impossible.
But the most likely possibility is that this trump card that could have been activated at any time will suddenly require that the script score drop below double digits before it can be activated.
If it really comes to that point, is there any point in increasing my own ability? Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie down and die?
Therefore, the skills to be upgraded must meet the three prerequisites: short cooling time, low consumption, and maximizing one's combat effectiveness.
The three skills, in terms of damage, must be demonic power. After all, the enhanced strength also comes with demonic flame damage. Even Huo Ying's bloodthirsty bees can be burned to dregs.
But this skill only lasts for 30 seconds and has a two-hour cooldown. It is really... the patent of a quick shooter. Even after strong amplification, in the final analysis... it is still a quick shooter.
In comparison, the Demonic Voice is more practical. It has a short cooldown, low consumption, and also comes with mental damage. At first glance, it looks like a young and energetic young man. If this were upgraded, wouldn't it be like replacing a shotgun with a cannon? ?
However, after hesitating again and again, he still turned his attention to [Paper Control Technique]
He had high hopes for this ability early on, but perhaps because the [Papermaker's Book] had not thoroughly evaluated it, this ability had many shortcomings.
After all, the paper man has a weight limit of 30 grams, so it is bound to be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
"This is it!"
Lying on the bed, thinking about it, Xu Tong finally gritted his teeth and decided to improve the [Paper Control Technique].
The reason is simple. Who hasn’t dreamed of it these days?
He doesn't know how to control a sword, but he can control paper skills. As a human being, you always have to have dreams.
Furthermore, the amplification effects brought about by both [Star Eye Tribulation] and [Puppet Controller] are visible to the naked eye. From this aspect alone, the [Paper Control Technique] you chose is the most reasonable.
Holding on to his Spring and Autumn Dream, Xu Tong tried to activate the powerful amplification of [Star Eye Tribulation].
[You will use a powerful amplification technique to upgrade a skill. Do you want to confirm it? After confirmation, if you need to unbind it, you need to pay an additional 20 script points. 】
"Sure!"
Xu Tong nodded decisively, thinking that if it was really muddy and couldn't help him get on stage, he didn't know how to tie him up, and he would be at a loss.
As he confirmed his choice, the [Star Eye Tribulation] in the prop book suddenly appeared in his hand, and the gem on the ring burst out with a bright light, reflecting on the prop book.
He discovered that the prop card [Papermaker's Book] was covered with a faint halo, and the halo circulated, creating a hazy sense of mystery.
If you take a closer look, it feels like a low-end version of the dynamic skin, but even the low-end version is much better-looking than other prop cards.
He quickly went up to take a look. When he saw the new skill changes, his eyes narrowed. He took out the cigar that he had not finished smoking last time from the prop book and slowly baked it and carbonized it. The cigarette butt, took a big puff.
"Pfft~~hiss~~" Smoke clouds filled the air with each breath, and the slender eyebrows were slightly raised: "It's really... a bloody profit!"
【Paper Control Technique】(enhanced version)
Can control paper artifacts.
If it is a paper man, you can get an additional strength bonus. The paper man can be equipped with items, but the total weight must not exceed 700 grams (including the paper man.)
Controlling effects: practice on your own.
Each time lasts for 30 minutes. If additional minutes are needed, an additional 4 script points will be consumed every 20 minutes.
(Note: As the number of paper products controlled increases, the consumption will also increase exponentially.)
Cooling time: 5 minutes.
Looking at the brand new paper control technique in front of him, Xu Tong's eyes gleamed. This was definitely a qualitative change from a shotgun to a cannon, and a bicycle to a motorcycle.
You must know that originally, you could only control small paper figures that did not weigh more than 30 grams, and you could not equip the paper figures with any weapons.
It's better now, it's increased by more than one kilogram.
It weighs more than one kilogram, which means that you can make a big guy, a real little helper.
What's more, after the paper control technique is upgraded, he can also control other paper items.
This means that he can... He turned his eyes and looked at the Walkman on the bedside.
"The world of mortals is so ridiculous, infatuation is the most boring, and even arrogant..."
Dressed in white, he stood like snow on the top of the mountain. Facing the enemies behind him, he smiled contemptuously, summoned a big golden sword with a snap of his fingers, and flew away...
"This life is over, but my heart is no longer disturbed. I just want to be free for half a lifetime..."
When he woke up from his dream, he found that it was almost dark outside. Mr. Song was so angry that he walked in the door with a cane and smashed all his dreams to pieces with a stick.
Seeing Mr. Song whose beard was standing up with anger, Xu Tong could only run into the kitchen dejectedly to cook for the old man.
"You can't help but praise me. Yesterday I thought you were a bit interesting. Today you just sleep in! After dinner, I will go to the woodshed and finish the unfinished paper figures for me. !”
At dinner, Mr. Song scolded him again, and Xu Tong could only accept it obediently. However, while being scolded, he did not forget to ask Mr. Song for advice on how to make the paper man stronger with limited weight.
Although Mr. Song has a weird temper, he never hides from Xu Tong. As soon as he talked about the problem, he drew a sketch for him.
After getting the sketch, Xu Tong immediately felt like he had found a treasure, and rushed into the woodshed to start working.
At night, the bells were ringing loudly. Mr. Song poked his head out of the house and looked in the direction of the woodshed. He saw Xu Tong sitting on the horse under the light, comparing the sketches while weaving the skeleton, and his heart suddenly changed. A lot of relief.
He turned around and walked into the house, sat on the master's chair, and lit a cigarette.
The pendulum of the clock kept making a clicking sound.
Along with the floating smoke clouds, several paper figures sat on chairs in the dim room. Their gray-white faces looked a little yellow under the light bulbs, and their black and white eyeballs were always staring ahead.
After a while, Mr. Song threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray: "Give me some more time."
After being silent for a long time, Mr. Song glanced in the direction of the firewood shed outside the door: "Master will leave these things. You always have to wait for me to leave some skills. When I go down, you can tell Master that we still have this skill." Just stick to one root."
I saw him talking, taking out a small box from under the table, and opening the box revealed an incense burner.
"That's all. Just make do with it and help me block it."
As he was talking, he picked up a match, struck it lightly and said "Ziu!!" Looking at the flames lit by the match, he threw it into the incense burner. Suddenly, an indescribable strange fragrance came from the incense burner. Float out.
Mr. Song pulled the lamp casually, stood up and lay back on the bed with his hands behind his back.
"Da da da da..."
The dark room was eerily quiet for a while, but at some point, several paper figures sitting on the Grand Master's chair turned their heads one after another. Their black and white eyes seemed to be laughing or crying...
