Chapter 5 5 Talent Upgrade
Chapter 5 5. Talent upgrade
"Simulation over."
"Survival time: twenty minutes."
"Evaluation: The progress is getting bigger and bigger, keep up the good work."
"You can spend Catastrophic Potential to bring rewards out of the simulation:
Mystical Phantom (common talent): 10 disaster potential.
Broken Jailer's Training Armor (normal + armor): 25 disaster potential.
Broken Jailer Training Armor*7 (ordinary armor): 70 disaster potential.
Catastrophe level 2: 15 calamity potential. "
"You have seen more powerful monsters, realized the lack of strength, secretly become angry and strive for strength, and the disaster potential is +10."
[Disaster potential: 28/2]
Ignoring the strange achievement reminders, Su Hong weighed the pros and cons and chose Mysterious Phantom and Disaster Level 2.
[Disaster potential: 3/2]
The feeling of full power surged into my heart again, and my eyeballs squirmed with bloodshot eyes, seeming to become even redder.
【Su Hong】
[Disaster level: present world]
[Disaster Level: Level 2]
[Disaster potential: 3/2]
[Disaster talent (2/4): Admirer's attachment (normal), mysterious phantom (normal)]
[Disaster Skill: None]
[Disaster Equipment: Broken Jailer Training Armor (Normal+). The training heavy armor equipped by Prison City Jailers is just a bit too thick and seems to be more used to prevent being beaten. 】
Su Hong's nervousness after experiencing life and death slowly relaxed, and he could no longer hold his eyelids from fighting, so he fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
The next afternoon, he slept until he woke up naturally. It was rare that he didn't have to be woken up by the alarm clock. He endured the sleepiness and went to work, feeling much refreshed.
After strolling around the community and relaxing, Su Hong bought a lot of supplies and equipment online, such as axes, canned food, medicine, purified water, compressed biscuits...
After getting through the most dangerous first day of the apocalypse, the next step is to consider the shortage of food and medicine. Supplies are indispensable.
He had no intention of saving and spent all the savings he had saved over the years to buy enough supplies for a person to survive for four to five years.
After dinner, return to the seventh floor.
Compared with the blood-stained corridors in simulation games, reality is much cleaner.
A fat man with a beer belly exposed stood in the corridor and greeted him with a bottle of wine, "Su Hong, have you eaten?"
Su Hong smiled and nodded. The uncle in front of him was the victim of the simulation last night, named Wang Yuxi.
He often calls him Uncle Wang.
Wang Yuxi has a cheerful personality and is smooth in dealing with things. However, he likes drinking very much and tends to get into trouble. He is quite popular in this building.
While the two were chatting, a high school student wearing glasses came back depressed.
Wang Yuxi leaned over and said, "Chengzhi, why don't you say hello to your brother Su Hong?"
Wang Chengzhi, who has acne on his face and is dark and thin, raised his hand and said hello, "Brother Su Hong."
Wang Chengzhi is the high school student's body lying on the ground during Su Hong's simulation yesterday, Wang Yuxi's son.
"You're such a kid, why don't you have any youthful energy?"
The young man muttered, "If you do homework every day like me, I'll see if you are energetic."
Before Wang Yuxi could speak, he hurriedly said: "Brother Su Hong, I'm going back to eat first."
"Go." Su Hong looked at the young man. He always felt that Wang Chengzhi gave him a different feeling than usual, but he couldn't tell what the specific difference was.
He patted Wang Chengzhi on the shoulder, said goodbye to Wang Yuxi, and returned home.
…
At night, the moon and stars cannot be seen.
Su Hong put on his training armor, changed into a kitchen knife, and stood directly by the door. He had already thought of a way to deal with the ghoul.
"Start simulation."
"The current disaster potential is 3/2. Do you want to consume 1 point of disaster potential to start the simulation?"
"yes."
"The simulation begins, good luck."
On the brown door, his shadow trembled and shifted rapidly, and the lights in the room dimmed. When he came to his senses, the shoe cabinet in the entrance was covered with dust.
The time has come for the first day of the end of the world.
This time he didn't make any preparations, just opened the door and walked out.
A few minutes before the simulation started, the building had not lost power, and the white lights in the corridor were bright. On the windows of the distant corridor, blood was projected in, and a black shadow could be vaguely seen twisting.
In the corridor, Wang Chengzhi was wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, standing in front of his home.
He came back from school early today, but he didn't expect that just after he took out the key and opened the door, it suddenly became dark.
He froze in place, unaware of the approaching danger.
After Su Hong walked out of the room, he came back to his senses and asked doubtfully: "Brother Su Hong, are you following the fashion and doing cosplay?"
Su Hong's whole body is covered in gray-black iron armor, and his iron bucket helmet is particularly visible, just like a knight who came out of the Middle Ages.
He glanced at the young man and said, "Chengzhi, step back."
Without explaining anything, he walked straight towards the black shadow.
The young man was about to speak, but when he saw the twisted black shadow on the corridor, his eyes suddenly tightened.
As Su Hong approached, the black shadow gradually condensed into a human shape, and the black-robed jailer held a lantern and let out a cold laugh.
"What is this?!" Wang Chengzhi held his breath and stared at Su Hong and Heiying.
"clang!"
Sparks flew, and Su Hong didn't say anything, and directly slashed the black-robed jailer.
"You triggered the special effect of the talent "Admirer's Attachment", causing a soul piercing to the black-robed jailer."
The black shadow's soul was shattered, and its armor fell to the ground.
"You defeated the black-robed jailer and gained experience."
"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."
"You obtained the jailer's training armor (ordinary +) with broken 'armor'."
"You're lucky, I hit you with one knife." Su Hong's tone was calm, as if the action of stabbing the monster with a knife just now was as normal as chopping vegetables and cooking.
"ah!"
The rest of the shadows were suddenly obscured. They didn't expect that as soon as they landed on this land, one of their companions was hacked to death.
Also, does this guy have any grudge against them? He is so ruthless.
"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang..."
Su Hong showed no mercy and stabbed the confused shadow.
Obviously this knife can't cause any harm to them, but there are black shadows that keep dying.
By the time the black shadow came to his senses and tried to escape, it was already too late.
Su Hong quickly killed all the remaining shadows.
"You defeated the black-robed jailer and gained experience."
"You have gained 'Disaster Potential'*1."
"You obtained the Jailer's Training Armor (ordinary) with broken 'armor'.
"You obtained the 'disaster item' Iron Cage Lantern."
"If a disaster item is found, should it be refined?"
"Can we continue refining?" Su Hong was startled.
"Refining."
The green soup crucible was bubbling, the iron cage lantern was thrown into it, and the fire gradually extinguished.
"The refining was successful and the same talent was discovered - the mysterious phantom. Can it be integrated and upgraded?"
"Can stacking disaster items allow talents to be upgraded?"
Su Hong's eyes brightened slightly, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
"yes."
"Upgraded successfully, obtained disaster talent (temporary): Mysterious Vision."
"Mysterious Vision (Normal+): There seems to be another world hidden in your sight, and you are vaguely touched by the mystery. Mysterious perception increases, and there is a probability of discovering hidden monsters. The stronger the monster's disaster aura, the higher the probability of discovery. "
After the talent upgrade, the probability of discovering hidden monsters increased, but Su Hong always felt that the mysterious vision's abilities were not limited to these, and he needed to slowly explore them.
The lantern in his hand went out, and he turned around to look at Wang Chengzhi, his eyes flashing with blood-red light.
When Wang Chengzhi saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little scared, "You...are you still Su Hong?"
No matter how much he stayed, he still noticed that something was wrong. Something strange seemed to be happening in the building.
"Your inadvertent action increases mystery and disaster potential +15."
Is this okay?
Thoughts flashed through Su Hong's mind. He looked at the young man and a plain voice came from under his helmet, "Go and call Uncle Wang and Uncle Chen. I'll wait for you here."
"What happened today is about your lives."
Wang Chengzhi swallowed and nodded.
Su Hong's actions just now were so smooth that he was not even aware of the terror of these disaster monsters now.
But the sky suddenly turned dark, and blood light shone in from the corridor window... Scenes of strange scenes emerged in his mind, and he unconsciously believed the man's words.
Three minutes later, the two uncles standing in the corridor fell into silence after listening to Su Hong's brief explanation.
The end of the world is coming and monsters appear. Are you sure this is not a scene that only happens in movies?
incredible.
But the movement that occurred after the end of the world was so great that it was difficult for the two of them not to pay attention even if they wanted to. They realized the abnormality of the building without Su Hong continuing to explain.
Chen Liming, an uncle with dark skin and a lean body, asked, "Su Hong, this commotion is quite big, uncle, I will believe you first."
"What did you want to do by calling us out?"
Chen Liming lives in No. 702, across from Wang Yuxi and his family. He was originally a farmer farming in the countryside. Later, when his son made money, he was brought to the city.
He is an honest and dull person, strong and strong, and can be regarded as a good helper.
The man looked worried at this time and his fingers were trembling slightly.
Another reason why he believed Su Hong's fanciful apocalyptic lies was that he had just made more than a dozen calls to his son who was working outside, but he couldn't get through.
He rarely calls his son for fear of causing trouble to him, but whenever he calls, his son will answer the call.
And now...
Su Hong glanced at the faces of the three people with different expressions, and flashed the kitchen knife, "There is a corpse downstairs that is killing people everywhere. Come with me and kill it."
It is true that he can't fight alone, but no one said that he can't fight in groups.
