Abnormal paradise - #516 - Chapter 509: Clarity of the road ahead and changes at the bottom

When natal skills officially step into the threshold of mysteries, the form of expression will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Activate [Divinity·Imaginary Number Space] to see that [Death Plague], which was originally just a bright light group, now appears as a static black flame.

The degree of “brightness” representing the total amount of data and the degree of “solidification” of the strength of the command have not improved dramatically compared to before, but the successful emergence of the “prototype of mystery/divinity” is like a paved road. The high-speed rail track will allow the Plague of Silence to travel to stronger areas at high speed.

Similarly, when [Swallowing Heaven and Earth] embarked on the path of divinity, the prototype of divinity also appeared.

However, although it and the Plague of Annihilation both use the Mark of Annihilation as the basis for their activation, the prototype of divinity that devours the world is actually a mini black hole.

Another significant difference is that activating Devouring Heaven and Earth will generate a rudimentary shadow on the head, which plays a role in communicating the will of the world. The Annihilation Plague, which has avoided the divine trap, is not so flashy. Just like what it says, the special effects funds are basically burned where others can’t see it.

Well, the difference between the two reminds Yi Jin of a very classic question: Are martial arts masters with light moves more attractive than those without light?

“Phew, I’m finally back on track. After spending two days in the big library, my improvement progress has been chased a lot.” Yi Yan breathed a small sigh of relief and focused his eyes on the dream fruit again.

Of course, the two days spent in the big library cannot be said to be a waste, not to mention the [Energy Core·Dragon Claw] that can directly form combat power. Just by increasing the upgrade speed of the Plague Doctor Suit and the Nirvana Plague several times, It is definitely worth it, not to mention that it also allows Ember to make up for itself in other areas.

However, Ember lags behind in the level rankings that best reflect competition, as well as the mystery rankings exclusively for epic players.

The large library of skill rewards has been greatly increased, and the reward ratio of contribution points has been reduced, so that in Fairy Tale Town, even if Ember used different characters to be the “shit-stirring devil” for two full days, his level could only reach the middle level of epic. At the peak (56), it’s time to draw on the [Initial Fire] to hit the bottleneck.

Guild bosses such as Lianshan, Lazy Man, Soul Song, Withered Old Tree, Thunder Duke, etc., relied on the advantages of large numbers of people and strength to get rid of a large number of loners including Ember, and reached the epic level. , occupying the top positions in the level rankings, relying on the fruit of face to pull up a large guild’s fish-scale arm “Sister Yu”, and also rose strongly, ranking above the ember.

However, in the mystery ranking list, which can better show the level of strength, the advantages of the above-mentioned guild bosses are not so obvious.

Because the progress of the Mystery derivation is directly related to various “adventures”, it seems that it is easy to improve the Mystery regardless of Ember’s two natal skills, and I think everyone is like this. He once called himself the little prince of Qi Yu, but his natal skills were almost built from “Qi Yu”. It was more like a unique category that was accumulated over time and could not be treated with common sense.

The top three in the ranking of mysteries are the Taoist Priest, the Secret Master, and the Otaku Magician. In just a few days, they have deduced their respective mysteries to 40%, and have been promoted to epic masters!

If Ember didn’t have his original skills and energy core, he would really be weaker than many others.

It’s not the Taoist priest and the spy. I don’t know if they received the news, or they deliberately hid from the ember, or they knew that the secrets in the library were difficult to fight for. Since they did bad things that day, they have never appeared in front of the ember again. Stay away from the muddy waters of the Big Library and fight in your own fields.

Although he missed the secret treasure in the library, the improvement in strength is very obvious.

As a result, Ember could only spread his long-dissipated anger on Hunge and his younger brothers.

As for the Otaku Masters who suddenly emerged in Gold Rush Town, they firmly grasped the hard-won opportunity. At the end of the last version, they teamed up with the Peeping Sky to complete the major task of the main world and unlocked the future technology. In the confinement of the world, he suddenly became the number one celebrity in the university organization, with inexhaustible resources. Even his guild [Sword of Glory] received a lot of benefits and attention.

Even if Taoist priests don’t really “turn back”, it will be difficult for them to be as popular as before.

The above three are the most popular, and even Ember has to admit that they can pose a threat to him. But what worries Ember and other players the most is the fourth one on the ranking list, who is temporarily stuck at the peak of the Beloved. Nong】Qiu Yinong.

Usually this position belongs to Lianshan. As the chief player of the Wasteland Group, Lianshan has always maintained a very high level. However, the main reason why Qiu Yinong came from behind is that the designer believed that after Bai Qi left, the scavengers became more and more powerful. The lack of a charismatic chief player makes Scavenger’s appeal to players far less than the other two of the three organizations in the park.

In the game, he used the name of the god-level scavenger who had just made a great performance to capture Qiu Yinong, the “undercover” scavenger in the university.

Of course, players have absolute autonomy when it comes to organizational choices. The scavengers spend a lot of resources on this, coupled with the special care from the eldest daughter of the sun, and Qiu Yinong’s outstanding performance in the empire world, she The total amount and quality of resources obtained at the current stage are even better than the Embers who just completed the special event!

You must know that the upgrade rewards of Infernal Walker and Xinhuo Complete belong to the divine category.

Therefore, it can be foreseen that Qiu Yinong’s stuck at the peak of the Beloved is a very short-lived thing, and he is definitely qualified to compete with the three currently ranked at the front.

Miao Miao, Bai Qi, Xue Yu, Not the Sword Immortal, Not the Expert, Lu Renjia and other familiar faces to Ember also have their own place on the first two pages of the secret rankings. It can be said that “adventures” are absolutely indispensable for anyone who is on the list as a lone ranger. Although it cannot compare with Embers in terms of quantity and quality, it can still allow the mystery deduction to proceed in a relaxed manner.

Most of the more well-known guild leaders and top players have taken a few steps on the path of mystery. For two full days, for these players with money, courage, character, and face, the improvement was very obvious.

This puts the ember of only 10% of mysteries in a rather embarrassing position. There are twenty people on the list on one page, and his name can only be seen in the middle of the third page.

But even so, the majority of players did not ridicule Ember in forums or other places like before, saying that “the limelight is no longer in the limelight” and “wasting advantage”, because in the combat power rankings, his name is still firmly at the top of the list. , no one can shake it!

The combat power rating of origin/god-level skills starts at 100,000. The ability to speak as much as 250,000 can shut everyone up, not to mention the immortal incarnation with a higher rating…

Coupled with the lessons learned from the previous experience, no one would feel that Ember was wasting his advantage. Instead, they would always pay attention to the secret rankings and level rankings, waiting for him to reach the top again.

Although Ember himself didn’t plan to make any big news, he was very concerned about whether the deduction speed would slow down after Plague of Nirvana obtained the secret prefix. Before the Dream Fruit was activated, a system prompt appeared again telling him that the legendary level The “Epidemic Doctor Kit” can also play its due role.

[Tip: The upgrade progress of the “Pandemic Doctor Set” has been increased to 3.8%, making the secret deduction of the natal skill “Mystery: Annihilation Plague” reach 1.1%. 】

“Very good, the speed is no different from before. According to the ratio of close to one to three, the plague doctor suit has reached 100% upgrade progress, and the Plague of Annihilation can obtain 30% of the secrets. Although it seems that the deduction speed is a bit slow for the time being, I believe there is a lot of acceleration here. Chance.”

Thinking of this, Yi Yan looked through the wooden tower at the beloved Liedu, who was grinning from ear to ear, and thought to himself: “How about we find a reason to fight and see the maximum speed of the mystical deduction? Wait until Once the plague doctor suit reaches the upgrade conditions, I will immediately return to the Kingdom of God on Earth to strengthen it to the epic level. Even if the four epic-level abnormal alloys are not available for the time being, I can continue to move forward on the path of annihilating the plague.”

However, Yi Yan thought about it and gave up on this quick and easy way. Anyway, he was going to stay in the sick village for a long time, so there was no need to rush for a moment.

When the Dream Fruit was only five minutes away from being activated, some changes at the bottom of the sick village caught his attention.

…

“Aku, Aku! Wake up quickly! Cough cough cough…”

The bottom floor of the sick village, where the sun is out, is not so dark that you can’t see your fingers. The lighting torches placed on the plank road on the lower floor generously allow a few precious lights to pass through the isolation barrier and spill into the upper residences on the bottom floor.

This makes the dozens of caves where you can see the light spots as soon as you step out of the “door” strongly coveted by all the lower-level believers. In order to grab one of them, it is almost common to fight, and it is even more common to cause deaths. has happened.

One of them just changed hands yesterday, and it was moved in by a pair of brothers who originally lived near the doctor’s furnace room.

They were thrown here because of an incident. With their relatively good physiques, they killed a hungry death row prisoner and inherited the other party’s cave and all kinds of garbage left in the cave.

This is the chaotic area of ​​the sick village. The wooden tower that regularly delivers food and daily necessities will not visit here. If you want to survive, you have to go to the garbage dump to pick up other people’s leftovers and tattered daily necessities.

For many believers struggling at the bottom of the sick village, two brothers inherited a cave’s treasures, but how could they be happy with these harvests?

However, the reality is cruel. A truth they overheard before joining the “Poison-Removing God Cult” made the two brothers understand that they were destined to die here. The two people who still had a glimmer of hope for life did not expect that the death threats would come so quickly.

The elder brother Aku, who had been severely beaten, quickly fell ill because of a knife from a death row prisoner on his arm.

By coincidence, the one-way isolation barrier suddenly heard the voices of praise from the lower-class residents, making the abandoned lower-class believers know that a disease miracle doctor had come to the sick village. Those who could still move left their “nests” one after another and gathered on the two upper plank roads, raising their heads and tilting their ears to listen to the beautiful sounds from the “distant world”.

For them, accepting external information and maintaining communication with others can delay the speed of getting lost, otherwise the spirit will quickly disintegrate before the physical function collapses.

Infected by the emotions of the lower-class residents, they also began to fantasize about how amazing the miracle doctor could be.

But listening to these people’s feeble conversation, his younger brother Anu, who knew the truth, became extremely angry. He gritted his teeth and said secretly: “Miracle doctor?! Bullshit miracle doctor! If you idiots knew that the disease was deliberately spread by the priests, you would Now you can understand what the Poison-Removing God Sect is!”

Anu could not forget how shocked he felt at the moment when he overheard the private discussion of the doctors in the sick village. All along, he had foolishly believed that the Anti-Poison Cult was sent by gods to save sinners. He prayed devoutly to the Holy Virgin of Anti-Poison every day, begging that the disease would stay away from their family.

However, the truth was so cruel that Anu accidentally exposed himself. His father was executed on the spot, and his female family members were captured. Although the two brothers did not die immediately, they were exiled to the bottom area where life was worse than death.

But even so, Anu did not dare to spread his discovery, but secretly told his brother Aku, because he still hoped to leave the bottom, even if he dedicated his life to the so-called Holy Mother of Anti-Poison without conscience.

But when a few faint eyes gathered in front of the cave and looked over tentatively, Anu’s heart sank to the bottom. Once the news of his brother Aku’s illness was made public, what awaited the two brothers would be an unimaginable ending.

Anu was convinced that it was not just the death row prisoner who was hungry for food. He immediately widened his eyes, grabbed a prepared sharp stone, and threw it hard outside.

“Get out! If I look again, I’ll kill you!”

Snapped!

The stone did not hit anyone, but it succeeded in frightening away the voyeurs. Seeing the equally strong Anu, they did not dare to act rashly, but Anu knew that such a temptation would not work if he repeated it a few times. He had to stop before the crisis came. , wake up Aku.

“Wake up, Aku! You must not fall down! We agreed to live on the upper floor…” Anu’s hoarse voice whispered, and he covered his mouth and nose with multiple layers of cloth to reduce the smell. , the voice became extremely deep.

The good news is that Aku opened his eyes, but the bad news is that he said a bunch of nonsense that made Anu frown.

“Anu, I had a dream… It was so beautiful! I dreamed that my father came back to life and found my mother and sister with us. Just like you said, he lived in the upper floor…” Aku half-opened his eyes. Eyes, he said drowsily.

“Dream? What are you talking about?” Anu didn’t understand what a dream was.

Since the Dream Fruit has absorbed all the dreams in the sick village, even the poison of the Beloved has never been experienced. Even though he has stayed away from the Plague Land many times, it is difficult to return to normal conditions.

Aku opened his eyes wide and showed a particularly longing smile: “Dream, I didn’t know what a dream was before. Anu, believe me, you will fall in love with it as long as you dream it once… It’s a pity, I’m about to die. , I can no longer accompany you, but it is not an unacceptable thing to die in a dream.”

Hearing this, Anu, who already felt that something was wrong, immediately shook his brother’s shoulders to prevent him from falling asleep again.

“Aku! Wake up! Stop thinking so wildly. There is no such dream as you mentioned. Live on, I want you to live on!”

Anu couldn’t help but yell out of excessive urgency, which alerted the snoops wandering outside the cave even though they were separated by several layers of cloth. They gathered together again, holding the things they depended on for a living, blocking the entrance of the cave with malicious intentions, and looked at Anu with anxious eyes and Aku who was sleepy.

“Go away! Are you deaf? Do you believe I will kill you?”

Snapped!

Anu threw another stone. Although it hit someone successfully this time, it did not scare away the other death row inmates.

The condemned prisoner who had been hit rubbed his sore ribs and said sadly: “He is going to die.”

Several death row prisoners with distorted faces followed suit.

“If you don’t want to die, you’d better let him out!”

“We won’t do anything to you, but you don’t want us to continue to be hungry.”

“Don’t expect anyone to save you. No one has ever been able to escape from here.”

Feeling the chaotic emotions in the air, Anu’s eyes immediately turned red. No longer preventing Aku from falling asleep, he grabbed an iron rod belonging to the former owner of the cave, stood up, gritted his teeth and said angrily: “Sooner or later, you will die anyway. I’ll kill you first!”

Facing the furious Anu, the death row prisoners were frightened to a certain extent, but what was disappointing was that more spies gathered nearby.

The palms that clenched the iron rod became pale and weak. Anu was shrouded in despair, confused and wondering who could save them from this place of exile?

His appearance made all the death row inmates laugh triumphantly, but these scumbags who call themselves predators didn’t know that in the filthy place deep in the darkness, a hill of garbage suddenly started to move… …
