Chapter 92: Prefix Title Advancement
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After arriving at the burial area, Feng Qi did not go straight to the Star City Shelter.
He decided to wait for Blackie here.
If he entered the underground shelter now, the situation would be the same as last time.
The decisive battle between Blackie and Suction Cup would leave the entire underground shelter in a mess, and put him off his studies. Even the database might be destroyed by their battle.
He was waiting for Blackie so as to move the battlefield outside the shelter. At the same time, he could also find spiritual plants in this area to help the Suction Cup recover from her injuries so that the battle would last longer.
Hunting the living dead and death worms here could also help him increase his strength.
If he hunted domain creatures in the abandoned city area, Suction Cup would not even leave any scraps for him.
During this period, he was a little worried that Suction Cup would also eat the living dead after killing them.
As a human, he shuddered when he thought of the scene of Suction Cup nibbling on the corpses.
However, the truth was that the Suction Cup was not interested in these humanoid monsters at all.
He felt that this was clearly related to Mu Qing’s influence. After all, Mu Qing had never had any ill intentions towards humans.
As for why she massacred the city and killed civilians, he felt that there must be a reason. He would work hard to find the truth.
But Suction Cup would not spare the death worms.
Every time he killed a death worm, it would become food for Suction Cup to recover her strength.
[Ding, ding. A purple plant has been discovered in eight o’clock direction.
Pretty good ration for the weapon. At the very least, it can give Suction Cup strength +1!]
Hearing the narrator’s reminder, Feng Qi immediately turned around and looked in the eight o’clock direction.
Sweeping his gaze across, he quickly discovered a purple plant growing in the pile of bones.
It was shaped like a lotus flower, with eight slender stems extending out from the center. There were gourd-like fruit hanging at the top of the stem. They looked a little strange.
Arriving in front of this plant, he did not pick the fruits. Instead, he directly uprooted this strange plant.
He sized up the plant in his hand again and brought it to the mouth of Suction Cup.
“Food!
Upon hearing this word, the sleeping Suction Cup opened her eyes reflexively. Then, she opened her mouth and began to eat the strange plant, including the root.
After a short wait, a crystalline jade color appeared on the surface of her body and her body temperature rose.
Under Feng Qi’s surprised gaze, one of the tiny cracks on the rune crystal on Suction Cup’s left arm healed at a visible speed.
Although this rune crystal was still covered in cracks, the healing effect this time was even stronger than when she ate three domain creatures.
The jade-colored stream of light on the surface of the Suction Cup also bloomed with a gorgeous light after a small crack was repaired by the rune crystal, but it quickly returned to calm.
He could feel that the Suction Cup seemed to have become stronger.
Thinking of this, he immediately asked,
“Narrator, what kind of spiritual plant is this? It’s so effective.”
[I’m not sure. Looking at its appearance… Why don’t we call it the Eight Calabash Brothers©?]
“I’m still f*cking saving Grandpa©.” Feng Qi couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
[I, your grandfather, am very healthy. I can still fight the demons for 300 rounds. I don’t need you to save me.]
In most cases, the narration made him feel very reliable.
In this dead world, the companionship also made him feel less depressed, but in exchange, he was bullied.
Sometimes, he wished he could rush into his mind and fight the narrator for 300 rounds.
As he raised his middle finger at the narrator inwardly, he continued to wander the burial ground with Suction Cup and began to search for new prey.
During this period, with the narrator’s several reminders, he found four spiritual plants in this area.
One of them was even buried deeper than a meter underground, but it still could not escape the powerful detection ability of the narrator.
A few hours later, Blackie still did not appear.
Therefore, Feng Qi simply focused on hunting the living dead and death worms.
After tearing apart another three-meter-long death worm, he handed the death worm covered in mucus to Suction Cup.
“Eat.”
Suction Cup, who had heard his voice, suddenly opened her eyes. Then, she pounced on the death worm and began to bite and eat.
However, after taking two bites, the Suction Cup suddenly started retching and spat out a ball of black matter.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi was a little stunned. He did not know why Suction Cup, which had always had a good appetite, would vomit.
[Don’t panic. Suction Cup is just spitting out the substance that can’t be absorbed by her body.]
Now that he understood the reason, he was no longer worried.
However, her subsequent mysterious behavior stunned him.
Feng Qi was dumbfounded when he saw the shocking scene of her vomiting and eating at the same time.
“This glutton is really of the same lineage as Mu Qing.”
[Just like your optimistic personality, it’s the same as mine.]
“Can’t you be more polite? Will you die if you don’t scold me?”
[I’ll feel worse than death.]
As she ate and vomited, the Suction Cup finally spat out the black liquid in her body and ate the entire death worm.
As the jade-colored crystal circulated on the surface of her body, the filth on her body slid off.
She went from dirty to adorable and dorky.
[Listen to my call and fuse with me, powerful adsorption weapon!]
Accompanied by the narrator’s cry, Suction Cup jumped up and attached herself to Feng Qi chest.
As he pointed his middle finger at the narrator in his heart, he cast his gaze into the distance and began to search for new targets.
Wandering in the burial ground, he continued to hunt. After an unknown period of time, he felt an obvious change in his body.
A ball of blood mist surged out of his head and quickly covered his entire body.
Under its cleanse, the originally grayish-white bones changed color.
When this blood mist dissipated, the originally gray bones became white, as if they were plated with a layer of color. He looked much cleaner.
At the same time, he could clearly feel that his strength had increased significantly.
He summoned his attribute panel and realized that his prefix titles had indeed changed.
[Blood Source Nightmare • Resilient (LV 4) – Very Strong Living Dead: Feng
Qi]
Strength Level: Iron Low Rank
Prefix Title: Very Strong: Physical strength +30%, greatly strengthens self-recovery ability.
Resilient LV4: Muscle Toughness +4%
Nightmare (Cannot be upgraded): Can invade the consciousness and read the contents of the target’s memory. The specific effect depends on the strength of the controller’s mental power. This prefix title has an additional ability that can increase the controller’s mental power.
Blood Source (Unable to upgrade prefix title): Condenses a blood core in the heart, greatly increasing the efficiency of the heart’s operation. This ability can also be actively released. It can instantly drain the blood core’s energy to strengthen one’s body, causing one’s combat strength to increase explosively. The ability will increase along with the increase in the strength of one’s blood and Qi.
Bloodline: Human (Beginner)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 378/1000
Prefix Title Milestone:
[Very Strong (Upgradeable)]:
[Third Milestone Progress: o%]
[Resilient LV4] (Upgradeable): 8%
“How perfunctory. I thought that “strong” would become another title.”
After looking at his attributes panel, Feng Qi could not help but complain.
[That’s right. Isn’t it good that to change it to “extremely strong”? This the guy who created this attribute panel look very uncultured.]
“Who made it?” Feng Qi quickly asked.
[How would I know?]
Since he couldn’t get an answer, he stopped asking and continued to search for prey.
He did not want to let go of any opportunity to increase his strength. Previously, he had no choice. He was killed by Blackie before he could complete doing many things. Now that he had time, he naturally would not waste it.
After all, increasing one’s strength was also very important.
Not only could he protect himself, but it could also help himself when he formed a team to enter the domain field to search for resources in the future.
In his first battle after evolving Strong to Very Strong, Feng Qi’s opponent was a living dead that was emitting a foul stench.
He also began to test how much his strength had increased.
However, the test results shocked him greatly. This time, he only used a punch to send the living dead flying three meters away. His strength alone had more than doubled.
It was the same in other aspects. The hardness of his bones, the explosive power brought about by the muscles on the surface of his body, and so on had all been significantly strengthened.
When he thought about how the strengthening in the future dream could be reflected into reality, he could not help but feel happy.
At this moment, the narrator’s voice appeared in his mind:
[It’s a very obvious improvement. You can now last 0.1 seconds more in Blackie’s hands. Applause!]
Feng Qi had been delighted by his improvement. But when he heard this, the smile on his face froze.
When it came to challenging his mentality, the narrator would never disappoint him.
[What do you mean by challenging your mentality? This is called a spurring you on. If I don’t give you a sense of reality, the corners of your mouth will crack until your ears. You’re scaring me so much that I’m going to have a nightmare tonight.]
Ignoring the narrator, Feng Qi continued to hunt the living dead nearby.
However, compared to before, the percentage of milestone progress brought about by hunting the living dead was pitifully small. Advancement became even more difficult.
In comparison, the increase in “Resilient’level in the prefix title did not change anything at all.
Whether it LVi or LV4, the milestones progress made from hunting the death worm was exactly the same.
Feng Qi was very curious about this, so he asked,
“Narrator, do you know why?”
[Resilience is the lowest innate ability before you complete a major advancement. It can’t compare to your own innate ability at all. Every advancement of your talent is equivalent to a major advancement. The corresponding blood essence consumption requirement will naturally be higher.]
After listening to the narrator’s explanation, Feng Qi came to a realization.
One was an increase in the essence of life, and the other was an advancement in a single ability. They were two completely different concepts.
After understanding the reason, he continued to wander around the burial area and began to search for new prey.
After a few more hours, he upgraded his resilience to LV5. The percentage of his “Very Strong” milestone reached 16%.
At this moment, the narrator’s voice sounded in his mind.
[Ahem. Young man, pay attention to the situation. Prepare to release the a one-time consumable weapon.]
Hearing the narrator’s notification, Feng Qi immediately turned to look to the east.
At this moment, Blackie was rapidly floating over from afar. The black fog surrounding its body spread and contracted as if it was breathing.
Looking at Suction Cup lying on his chest, guilt appeared on his face.
“I’ll come back to avenge you next time, you have to hold up and help me for a while.”
[Next time, next time. There are so many next time. Your nature seems to have awakened a little more. It seems that the Meng Po Soup can’t seal your memories anymore.]
Realizing that the narrator was beating around the bush again and saying that he was some kind of animal, he spat inwardly
However, at this moment, Blackie was already close. He ultimately reached out and picked up Suction Cup who was lying on his chest.
Under her look of confusion, he threw her towards Blackie.
“I will definitely do it next time!”
