Chapter 939
Level 4 Gene Lock Training
Based on Chu Xuan's concerns about the next horror film.
In the following days in the God Space, everyone decided not to retain the previously saved side quests and reward points.
Choose to consume all.
They either exchanged for training time and cultivation time, or they exchanged for other items and upgraded some essential items.
Xiao Honglu and Chen Zilong, who needed the most time to gain strength, also chose to spend their time in their respective rooms instead of watching horror movies, just like Chu Xuan.
The scenery in the two rooms is different, but both are carried by the power of time.
As the sun and moon alternate and day and night cycle, several years pass in the blink of an eye.
The tens of thousands of reward points on the two of them were thus exhausted.
Xiao Honglu was alright; having had previous experience in seclusion, he recovered quickly this time.
Chen Zilong only returned to normal after being possessed by Zhu Wen.
After all, high-intensity, repetitive training can easily cause the brain to shut down.
Finally, the Central Continent team considered the various and frequent battles in Transformers.
The original Life Potion, worth 200 reward points, was directly upgraded to a Lesser Creation Pill, worth D-level side quest points, and a Rebirth Talisman, worth 500 reward points.
And each person was given a set to save their life.
The Lesser Creation Pill is similar to the Ice Condensation Pill, belonging to the healing pills within the cultivation system.
It's just that the effect is even more outstanding.
The Rebirth Talisman, like the Three Pure Ones Talisman, can regenerate severed limbs after being applied, and also has a slight ability to stabilize the soul.
Of course, the price also increased by fifty reward points, so you can only say that you get what you pay for with this kind of healing and recovery item.
Some are even just one reward point apart, yet the effect is completely different.
As for other high-strength bandages and hemostatic sprays, these second-tier treatment items have been completely taken over by Chu Xuan and no longer need to be exchanged.
As for the "firepower coverage" mentioned by Chu Xuan.
Ultimately, the group chose a one-time use item from a C-level side quest.
[Future technology item: Nanoparticle gold-eating missile.]
The missile's core is equipped with self-replicating nanorobots called "nanobugs," which specialize in devouring metal and multiplying indefinitely.
It contains approximately 700-800 billion nanobots, which release a silver-gray "swarm cloud" upon impact, rapidly covering any metal targets within its range.
Upon contact with the metallic target, it disintegrates into an atomic/crystal structure within microseconds.
Then, it uses metallic materials to self-replicate, and its quantity will increase exponentially in a short period of time, and it can spread outward through metal fragments.
[3500 reward points and one C-level side quest.]
This is also the most valuable and most destructive item against robots in the C-level side storyline after screening.
There was also some good news during this period.
That was Xin'er and Yue'er after they were injected with Chu Xuan's T-virus solution, including their vacation time.
With the help of the little girl, the first stage of the gene lock has been successfully unlocked.
Although we are not yet proficient and the side effects are quite obvious, at least we have embarked on the path of gene locking.
However, it was precisely because of this that, under the strong demands of Cheng Xiao and Xiao Honglu,
In the next horror movie, which is Transformers, the three androids will have to stay in the Demon-Refining Pot and will no longer appear.
It is worth mentioning that this was after several months of research time.
Chu Xuan has finally mass-produced the T-virus stock solution used to unlock the first stage of the gene lock.
Zheng Zha, Chen Zilong, Zhao Yingkong, and Li Xiao each received a portion forty people.
Saito and Cheng Xiao also wanted some, but after considering their own abilities, they had no choice but to give up.
Even if they had it, he wouldn't have the ability to inject it into the bodies of new recruits in other teams and then wait several days for them to unlock the first stage of their genetic lock.
In short, this was probably the most satisfying time everyone had ever exchanged items since entering the Main God Space.
This was also the most expensive one ever.
All Zheng Zha could say was, "It feels so good to be rich."
Time flies.
The ninth day of the Main God Space.
At this moment, most members of the Zhongzhou team were either sitting or standing at the edge of the main square, scattered as far as they could be.
The purpose of doing this is quite simple.
That was to prevent Zheng Zha from going berserk and wreaking havoc.
After several lessons learned, everyone had to take it seriously.
However, some are highly skilled and daring.
For example, Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong, and of course Chu Xuan.
The three of them stood not far from Zheng Zha.
Of course, there is someone else besides these three.
Zheng Zha looked at Saito Hajime, who was leaning close to him, and whispered, "Are you really alright?"
Saito patted his chest repeatedly.
With the blessing of immovability and the activation of purple energy, the golden bowl emitted a muffled sound like a metallic bell.
Inside, Saito was tilting his head back.
"Chu Xuan said that even a top-tier double-B grade defensive item can withstand two or three attacks from a fourth-tier expert."
"Don't worry, Captain."
Zheng Zha glanced at Chu Xuan, who was expressionless, and then at Saito Hajime, who was bursting with confidence.
There was something he wasn't sure whether he should say.
So even they themselves didn't believe Chu Xuan's words, yet someone in the team did?
Upon noticing Zheng Zha's expression, Li Xiao looked up at the sky.
Because he was also speechless.
Inside the Zhongzhou team.
Zheng Zha is naive, but Saito Ichi is even more naive.
No, it was probably the previous experiments that gave Saito too much confidence.
So much so that this person lost himself.
Otherwise, he would have run away long ago.
Finally, Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong nodded to each other.
Zheng Zha also smiled wryly at Chu Xuan and said:
"In that case, let's begin."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan, who had been standing still, suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed the whole time.
Zheng Zha looked over, and the two stared at each other.
In that instant, he felt Chu Xuan's eyes begin to magnify in his vision.
In the end, only these two emotionless eyes remained in the entire world.
Just as Zheng Zha was lost in confusion.
Zhan Lan, who was in the corner, popped out a piece of mental energy metal, and the metal began to annihilate the moment it appeared.
At the same time, a grand voice formed from spiritual power rang out from afar and finally rushed into the depths of his mind.
"Zheng Zha, unlock it!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha's genetic lock instantly unlocked.
True essence and vampire energy began to circulate rapidly at the same time.
So much so that Li Xiao and the others nearby could hear the sound of surging waves from rivers, lakes, and seas.
Zheng Zha's body then swelled slightly, and his muscles became more defined.
This also demonstrates that Zheng Zha has unlocked the second stage.
Then Zheng Zha's aura changed again, and everyone watching Zheng Zha had the same thought in their minds:
"It's the third stage now."
That is from this moment on.
Zero, who possessed the strongest eye in the corner, and Zhan Lan, whose mental power covered the entire field, both tensed up.
The latter, in particular, instinctively hugged his own arm.
Because Zheng Zha's aura continued to rise, he broke through a certain boundary once again and entered a new stage.
That's this moment.
Upon close proximity, Li Xiao's pupils constricted sharply, almost shrinking to pinpoints.
This also means that Zheng Zha has embarked on the path to overcome his inner demons.
After entering the fourth level, Zheng Zha remained motionless. However, his clothes moved without any wind.
Along with it, gusts of inexplicable air currents blew around the people nearby.
Whether it was Chu Xuan in front of him, or Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong around him.
In Zhan Lan's eyes, it was as if they had been trapped in a vortex where time stood still.
But they knew that time had not actually stopped or slowed down.
Cheng Xiao, who was shrouded in deathly flames at the edge of the main god space, said excitedly:
"One minute has passed!"
"Should this be considered a success?"
"The captain didn't go berserk, did he?"
Chen Zilong, who was not far away, looked down at the bristling hairs on his arms and the slightly trembling iron rod in his hand, and did not agree with Cheng Xiao's words.
Because if Zheng Zha had truly restrained himself, he wouldn't be standing still like this now.
He would no longer have the illusion of encountering danger and facing death.
Within the fourth-order gene lock, what kind of battle is the fight against the inner demon? No one can know.
But Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong knew it must be very painful.
Because of the close proximity.
The two of them could clearly feel Zheng Zha's mental trembling and emotional wailing.
Compared to physical pain.
Inner demons are battles and struggles on a mental level.
It's all over now, and everyone's happy.
If you can't get past it, then just do the same thing as before.
He entered a state of madness and went on a killing spree.
Yes, this is not Zheng Zha's first attempt.
With side quests and reward points exhausted, the only way to improve strength is through gene locks.
Therefore, Zheng Zha has been very cooperative these past two days.
Under Chu Xuan's hypnosis and Zhan Lan's mental guidance.
Continuously unlock the fourth-order gene lock, and then awaken through the main god's light pillar.
And just last time...
The moment Zheng Zha entered the fourth stage, he went berserk and used the Destruction state.
In less than a second, he used the ability of Shave to teleport in front of Cheng Xiao and Chen Zilong.
If Zhan Lan, who had been watching closely, hadn't reacted quickly enough to call for the main god to repair everything, it would have been different.
Cheng Xiao, who only has half a body left, is probably in mortal danger.
In short.
On this day, the members of the Zhongzhou team felt that the one being trained was not Zheng Zha, the protagonist.
Instead, it was them, as teammates in the audience.
It tests their survival instincts and subconscious reactions.
The actual training results were also very obvious.
That is, whether it's Zhu Wen or Zhan Lan, their instincts for danger are becoming increasingly acute.
The results were remarkable, leaving Li Xiao and Zheng Zha both amused and exasperated.
And this time.
Zheng Zha's calming down time is an improvement over any previous instance.
At this moment, Zheng Zha's eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling slightly, but that was it.
Zheng Zha had no desire to attack Chu Xuan in front of him.
Two more minutes passed.
Saito couldn't help but cheer, because he felt that his captain had successfully taken a big step forward.
But as soon as he cheered, Li Xiao and Zhao Yingkong shot him daggers with their eyes.
Saito Hajime quickly covered his mouth, but it was too late.
When Li Xiao looked again, Zheng Zha was nowhere to be seen.
The next moment.
clang!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire main square.
Before the sound could finish, Chu Xuan's voice rang out.
"God, restore everything..."
Zheng Zha opened his eyes.
The first thing to do is look around.
When he saw Saito Hajime receiving treatment with a large hole in his stomach, he patted his head in frustration within the beam of light.
"Did I cause everyone worry, and thus fail again?"
As Zheng Zha spoke, his whole body was still trembling from the soreness in his flesh.
This kind of soreness is beyond what the main god's healing can repair or alleviate; it's more like a deep-seated fatigue in the genes.
Chu Xuan looked up:
"No, you've already succeeded!"
Zheng Zha, who was inside the pillar of light, was stunned when he heard this:
"What happened to Saito Hajime?"
Zhan Lan sat on the sofa next to him and said with a smile:
"Just assume he's just being sarcastic."
"But I didn't expect that you would have such power with your bare hands. Or is this the effect of the fourth-level microscopic mastery?"
Zhan Lan's words made Zheng Zha and everyone else look at a dented golden bowl on the ground.
It was the defensive item that Saito had placed high hopes on.
Chu Xuan squatted down and picked up the palm-sized golden bowl, saying at the same time:
"As a defensive magic weapon in the Eastern cultivation system, it has both an energy barrier and physical defense, making it one of the top defensive items among the double-B level."
"But Saito Hajime's physical abilities are not strong enough. Even if Kinba can defend against Zheng Zha's attack."
"But the shockwave energy that penetrates the golden bowl's defense is something he cannot resist."
"Therefore, once you encounter an enemy with such defensive items, try to use the force of hitting a cow through a mountain or the power of shock."
"Based on the damage to the golden bowl, if Zheng Zha goes all out, the golden bowl will most likely start to collapse after three or four strikes."
"However, if the user's physical condition is the same as Saito Hajime's, then they will most likely not be able to withstand the second blow."
Chu Xuan addressed the crowd with a serious expression.
Zheng Zha was completely baffled; he didn't know why Chu Xuan suddenly brought this up.
"So, what then?"
Compared to Zheng Zha, Chen Zilong, possessing extraordinary wisdom, slapped his thigh:
"Does that mean if we kill the people inside before breaking the defensive barrier, we can get this item?"
Chu Xuan nodded:
"Although the fragments after being broken can be recycled, they are definitely not as good as the complete item."
After speaking, Chu Xuan looked at Zheng Zha:
“Zheng Zha’s current condition is not suitable for trying to start gene locking again.”
"There is no transition period for redeeming reward points, so the following..."
"Wait, everyone, there's something I'd like to say."
As the pillar of light disappeared, Saito, who had just landed, suddenly interrupted Chu Xuan.
After everyone looked at him, the bald, burly man said:
"When we were exchanging items a couple of days ago, do you know why I didn't exchange for the Three Treasures Orb and the Vibranium Suit?"
Hearing Saito Hajime's inexplicable question.
Li Xiao spoke first: "Um, isn't it because the golden alms bowl is a Buddhist ritual implement?"
Chen Zilong chimed in, "That's right, isn't it more in line with your status?"
Almost everyone thought so, including Xiao Honglu and Zhan Lan.
But the truth is...
Saito Hajime patted his bald head and said with a strange expression:
"When I entered the mummy world before, I checked the translated content with Evelyn."
Chu Xuan, Xiao Honglu, you two have been keeping a close eye on the deeds of the Sage and the locations of other blessed lands and grotto-heavens. (End of Chapter)
