Chapter 91: Weapon Strengthening
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Following the route to the Star City Shelter, Feng Qi strode forward.
Although the surrounding environment had changed slightly under the influence of the butterfly effect, he could still determine the general direction through the blood moon in the sky and the distant building so he did not get lost.
At this moment, the narrator’s voice sounded in his mind.
[Your weapon is very hungry and wants to eat to replenish its energy. Otherwise, it will go on strike.]
The narrator’s notification stunned him. Then, he realized that the three spiritual plants he had picked for Suction Cup were still stored in his body and had not been used.
As for the fiery red fruit, it had disappeared when he was chased by Blackie. No one knew where it had dropped.
He took out the three spiritual plants stuck in his chest and reached out to the mouth of Suction Cup who was lying on his left arm.
Suction Cup subconsciously twitched her nose and sniffed. Then, she opened her mouth and began to eat the spiritual plant.
“Is it good?”
Looking at Suction Cup that was gnawing on the spiritual plants, Feng Qi asked with a smile.
However, Suction Cup ignored him. Her bulging cheeks looked very energetic as she ate. She chewed and swallowed the three spiritual plants in a few mouthfuls.
Her powerful digestive ability instantly crushed the spiritual plants that she had swallowed, turning them into energy that surged into her body. The rune crystal on the Suction Cup’s left arm flickered at this moment.
Seeing this, Feng Qi felt that his guess was right.
Suction Cup that had inherited Mu Qing’s ability of eating to repair her body and strengthen herself.
As long as he continued to search for substances containing energy for Suction Cup, her injuries would quickly recover during this period.
At this thought, a guess appeared in his mind, so he immediately asked,
“Narrator, do you think eating domain creatures will have the same effect as eating spiritual plants for Suction Cup?”
[As long as her digestive ability is good, she can even extract energy from eating special ores that contain Spiritual Qi.]
The narrator’s answer immediately gave him a new idea.
Other than searching for spiritual plants, he could completely hunt for domain creatures with Suction Cup.
At that time, he would deal the last hit to absorb the Qi and blood to obtain abilities. Then, the Suction Cup would devour the bodies of domain creatures to repair her injuries.
The only problem was that as long as the Suction Cup attacked, she would only stop after killing the domain creature. It was not easy for him to get the finishing hit.
“Suction Cup, can you understand me? Later, when we go to hunt domain creatures, cripple them and but don’t kill them. Do you understand?”
When Suction Cup heard this, she slowly leaned her head on his arm and closed her eyes.
[Suction Cup is saying well said, but I’m not listening at all.]
Feng Qi looked up at the blood moon and continued on his way.
Now that Blackie was still fighting the goat-headed demons, it should be staying away for the time being, so he still had time to increase the strength of Suction Cup.
The closer he went to the Star City Shelter, the lower the probability of encountering domain creatures. In order to attract the attention of the domain creatures along the way, he sang loudly all the way, wanting to use his voice to do so.
Now that he had Suction Cup with him, he was fearless.
He had never been so arrogant after coming to the future dream world for so long.
[This is called a dog threatens based on its master’s power. You’re becoming more and more like the yellow dog from a thousand years ago. The effect of the Meng Po Soup seems to be over. Your main body is about to wake up.]
“Just you wait. Sooner or later, I’ll pull you out of your body and flick your head a thousand times.”
[You discovered a ball of yellow matter about five meters ahead on the right.]
Hearing the narrator’s reminder, Feng Qi, who was a little flustered and exasperated, could not help but be stunned. He immediately cast his gaze at a ball of yellow matter not far away.
Arriving in front of it, he squatted down and observed.
“What’s this?
[Smell it and see if it suits your taste.]
Hearing this, he suddenly realized the problem, and his expression immediately became very ugly.
He originally thought that the narrator had discovered something good, but he did not expect it to be a trap. He trusted it so much that he almost stepped into the trap.
Come, come, come. Get out here. We have to fight today.”
[Let’s switch to cursing. I’m not very good at fighting. Verbal abuses is my forte. Using my own strengths to attack the other party’s weaknesses is the best strategy.]
Just as he was about to begin, the weeds in front of him on the right swayed, as if some creature was rapidly approaching.
Seeing this scene, he raised Suction Cup to his chest without hesitation.
[The protective Suction Cup has been loaded and is about to enter combat mode!]
The narrator dubbed at the perfect time.
As he waited, a two-meter-tall arthropod leaped out of the grass and pounced straight at him.
It looked like a mantis, and its entire body was suffused with a dark green luster. Its huge forelimbs were like two large scythes that flickered with sharp light. Its back was covered in a grayish-white substance, and it looked hideous.
Before his figure arrived, a violent wind had already assaulted his face. The forclimbs carrying a cold glint slashed straight at Feng Qi’s head.
At this moment, Suction Cup suddenly opened her eyes. Starlight appeared in them. In an instant, it was as if the Milky Way was spinning in her eyes, blooming with a gorgeous and resplendent light.
Seeing this, Feng Qi decisively threw Suction Cup at the mantis domain creature.
A crystalline jade color circulated on the surface of her body. The slash did not even cut through the first layer of her skin.
However, Suction Cup’s figure was still sent flying by the front limbs of the mantis domain creature.
But the moment she landed, she seemed to have a spring under its feet. It suddenly jumped up and pounced at the mantis domain creature at an extremely fast speed. It hugged its right lower limb and threw it over its shoulder.
Boom!
The ground trembled, and the body of the mantis domain creature trembled. It was dizzy from the fall, and the ferocity in its eyes turned into confusion.
“Suction Cup, remember to leave a bite for me!”
As he spoke, Feng Qi took a few steps back to prevent himself from being affected by the battle.
After all, he could not withstand the slashes of the mantis domain creature. Perhaps his head would be cut off from watching the battle up close.
Life was precious. It was worth 880,000 dollars. He could not afford to be careless.
[Cowardly thing!]
“Shut up. If you’re so good, you can go ahead.”
He turned his gaze forward. After the Suction Cup knocked the mantis domain creature to the ground, she did not give it a chance to resist. Her clenched fists emitted a jade-colored light. Then, she punched through the back of the mantis domain creature, and green blood immediately splattered.
The mantis domain creature seemed to realize that it had met a formidable opponent. It hissed and began to struggle, wanting to escape.
However, Suction Cup’s second punch followed closely behind. She pierced through his chest and created a pit in the ground.
Realizing that the mantis domain creature no longer had the ability to resist, Feng Qi hurriedly went forward and shouted,
“Suction Cup, stop! Keep it alive!”
Suction Cup ignored him. Her third punch aimed at the head of the mantis domain creature and suddenly smashed down.
Like a watermelon shattering, a mixture of white and green liquid instantly splattered. The mantis domain creature that was swinging its limbs and struggling instantly stopped moving.
He came to Suction Cup, who was already eating the body of the mantis domain creature and looked at her. He felt helpless.
Save a bite for me.”
[Move back about 300 meters. I’ll save that yellow lump for you.]
As if noticing Feng Qi’s emotional fluctuations, Suction Cup that was gnawing away suddenly looked up at him. Then, she removed the forelimbs of the mantis domain creature and raised them above her head to hand them to Feng Qi.
“You go ahead. I can’t eat it,” he said helplessly.
Suction Cup held them for a few seconds and realized that Feng Qi did not take them. A trace of confusion appeared on her face. Then, she stretched out and took a big bite off the forelimbs. She chewed and swallowed demonstratively, as if expressing to him that this thing was not poisonous and edible.
Listening to the crunching sounds, Feng Qi sincerely admired the teeth of the Suction Cup.
At this moment, the Suction Cup chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth. She raised them forelimbs at him again, as if she wanted to share the “delicious food” with him.
[Eat it. If you don’t eat it, you’re not giving Suction Cup face. Beware that your weapon will betray you.]
“You talk too much. Come here and eat it if you can.” Feng Qi could not help but roll his eyes.
He suspected that this front limb was as hard as steel. Only Suction Cup, which had inherited Mu Qing’s ability, had the ability to eat it. He really had no luck to enjoy it.
Realizing that Feng Qi still did not take the forelimbs, Suction Cup no longer insisted. In a few bites, she swallowed the huge forclimbs. Then, she pounced at the body of the mantis domain creature and began to gorge herself.
As Suction Cup ate, the shattered rune crystal on her left arm flickered, and the jade color on her body became even more crystalline.
For some reason, Feng Qi enjoyed watching Suction Cup eat.
He really had the feeling that his “weapon” was gradually growing.
[Weapon absorbing food energy: Strength +1, Surface Defense +1, Durability
+1, Physique +1, Injury Recovery +1, Working hard to become stronger…]
The narrator appeared out at the right time to dub and “digitize” Feng Qi’s deja vu.
As Feng Qi waited, Suction Cup took less than five minutes for to eat the two-meter-tall mantis domain creature, leaving only a rune crystal.
Then, she pushed off her feet and attached herself to Feng Qi’s left arm.
[Weapon enhancement complete. Throwing weapon installed!]
Looking at Suction Cup’s flat abdomen, Feng Qi gained a new understanding of her terrifying digestive ability.
In fact, he had always been very curious about one thing. What kind of rune domain creature did Mu Qing’s rune crystal come from? The ability that came with it was actually so terrifying.
As long as she kept eating, her strength could almost increase indefinitely.
After entering Star City Academy, Mu Qing had already entered a high-speed growth stage. Free food was her source of strength.
Others needed to cultivate hard to obtain an increase in strength, but Mu Qing only needed to work hard to eat and then undergo adaptive training in the body tempering room.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that this growth mode was cheating.
However, the Star City database had set the source of the rune crystals on Mu Qing’s body as confidential information, so he could not find it.
Perhaps even Mu Qing herself did not know the source of the rune crystal embedded in her left arm.
FEng Qi continued on his way with Suction Cup. Along the way, he was attacked by two domain creatures.
However, in front of the terrifying strength of Suction Cup, these domain creatures were as vulnerable as toys. They were basically taken care of with two punches.
One punch to cripple them, and the other to kill.
This caused Feng Qi to be unable to find a chance to finish them off even if he wanted to.
While feeling helpless, he could not help but sigh at the powerful strength of Suction Cup.
At this stage, other than Blackie, he had never encountered a domain creature stronger than Suction Cup in the nearby area.
If not for Blackie’s almost bug-like immunity to any damage, even Blackie might not be a match for her.
Following the route in his memory, after walking for an unknown period of time, he finally walked out of the abandoned city area with Suction Cup and stepped into the area filled with bones.
This was undoubtedly his home ground. He placed Suction Cup on his chest and began to punch the living dead, kick the death worms, and pushed forward violently.
During this period, Suction Cup would always open and then close its eyes. Every time he entered a combat state, she would be activated.
What he needed to do was to kill the living dead or the death worm in front of him as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, his experience would be seized by the Suction Cup..
