Regarding the injection of strengthening potion, Li Nuo found that he was overthinking it.
Since he had read too many science fiction and fantasy works before time travel, when he heard about biochemical transformation and acupuncture, scenes from the movie would come to mind:
His clothes were stripped off and he was pushed into a glass jar filled with liquid. The medical staff operated the injection device in the glass jar next to the mechanical panel, and inserted a row of needles into his skin with a squeaking sound. Then he began to scream, roaring to welcome the biochemically modified body.
But that's not the case.
At least not when injecting the first booster potion.
Accompanied by Sergeant Mars, Li Nuo followed the normal physical examination process, measured his height, weight, blood pressure, heartbeat, checked his ears, nose and throat, and left blood and urine samples.
After he took a shower and changed into white hospital clothes, Nurse Merlin pushed a medical trolley into his single cubicle and started preparing syringes on the spot.
Strengthening medicines are not readily available and require nurses to prepare them on site before injection, which involves mixing a variety of medicines and powders.
Sergeant Mars looked at Merlin who was busy next to the medical cart, then turned to Li Nuo and said:
"Then I'll go back to the station first, Jarvis. After a few days, Sergeant Alvin gets the trophies, and I will come back with the main force. Until the adverse reactions disappear, you can stay here temporarily. In case there is any Whatever the situation is, just tell Merlin and she will let the medical department notify me."
"Okay, sir, don't forget my book." Li Nuo said, sitting on the bedside.
"No problem. Before I leave the fort, I will place the book you requested at the entrance of the medical department."
Sergeant Mars walked up to Merlin, whispered a few words against his cheek, sprinkled Li Nuo with dog food, and then left the single room.
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the syringe in Merlin's hand.
A pale golden potion was slowly poured into the glass tube of the syringe. This was the product of Merlin mixing various potions, which was the strengthening potion that was about to be injected into Li Nuo's body.
Li Nuo used deconstruction to look at it.
It takes a full 3,000 energy points to fully deconstruct this thing. It is truly the crystallization of the biochemical mutation route and the stepping stone for the "Imperial Fist".
"Merlin, is there any possibility that this strengthening potion can be cracked by illegal forces?" Li Nuo asked.
Merlin put the syringe aside, picked up the alcohol cotton and came to the bedside, signaling Li Nuo to roll up his sleeves.
After thinking for a moment, she smeared alcohol on Li Nuo's arm and said:
"It should not be cracked by illegal forces. Anyway, since I joined MI3, I have never heard of any illegal force or pharmaceutical group cracking the formula of the enhanced potion. MI3 is still very cautious in this regard and keeps it confidential. The measures were taken very carefully.”
She pointed at the medical cart:
"Just take me for example. Don't look at me when I was preparing the medicine on the spot just now. I acted very skillfully and made no mistakes. But in fact, as a nurse, I don't know the names and effects of those medicines. I can only follow the instructions of MI3 According to the operation manual distributed by the department, identify the properties of the potions and powders, and then mix them according to the standardized operating procedures."
"It's so strict..." Li Nuo sighed.
"Yes. I have to push the empty bottles back later and store them in a locked room. There must be no empty bottles left. Not even the remaining liquid of the potion can be left here."
After Merlin finished disinfecting, he took the syringe and pointed the needle at Li Nuo's arm.
After a brief sting, the light golden potion was injected.
Merlin quickly packed up the medical cart and said at the same time:
"Lie down quickly. You will usually feel sleepy within five minutes. This sleep may last 24 hours. If you wake up, just pull the loop on the bedside and the nurse on duty will come to check situation."
"Okay, Merlin, thank you very much." Li Nuo spread his legs flat and covered himself with the quilt.
"By the way, Jarvis, did your mission go well this time? Did you encounter any dangers?" Merlin asked before leaving.
Li Nuo thought for half a second and then responded:
"It was a near miss. We encountered a difficult enemy, but fortunately the legion commander called in reinforcements in time. As soon as the reinforcements arrived, Mars and I withdrew from the tomb."
"...Well, I'm always worried that Mars won't come back one day..." Merlin opened the door and pushed the stroller away.
Li Nuo raised his head and happened to see the worry on Merlin's face.
Hey, there's nothing we can do about it.
How can there be no danger in fighting, not to mention that the enemy is the undead.
Li Nuo could only silently bless the couple.
However, judging from the relationship between Mars and Captain Murphya, Mars' personal safety should not be a big problem. After all, he has a bronze whistle in his hand that can call Captain Murphy Ya, and he can call for strong support at any time.
Li Nuo himself, on the other hand, had to master more trump cards as soon as possible.
Thinking about his future plans, Li Nuo gradually felt that his eyelids were heavy and waves of sleepiness appeared in his mind.
He yawned, adjusted his sleeping position to a comfortable position, and closed his eyes on the soft bed.
His consciousness began to sink infinitely, as if he had slipped into a bottomless abyss.
Just when he was about to fall asleep completely, a piece of text appeared in front of him.
[System message: Because you injected the "first injection of strengthening potion", you obtained a temporary effect with an unknown name. 】
Li Nuo felt that his state was very strange.
On the one hand, under the influence of the medicine, he entered a sleep state, and his eyes were dark, with only the system text suspended in the air.
On the other hand, although he is in a sleeping state, he cannot control his limbs and cannot respond in a timely manner to external stimuli.
but! His consciousness is awake!
When he dreamed about the succubus before, he had called up his personal panel in his dream.
The situation this time was the same as before.
It was as if he was awake at this time, not asleep, but had just entered a dark area without the concept of time and space.
Li Nuo can think about what the "temporary effect of unknown name" is, or he can look through his personal panel and see the words "temporary effect" on the status bar, and he can even use deconstruction on it.
This magical state, similar to a lucid dream, appears after you obtain the "Deconstructed Core System".
It's amazing!
Was he asleep?
Still not asleep?
Li Nuo was confused, but did not intend to study further.
He casually threw deconstruction at the "temporary effects" on his personal panel.
[System message: You are about to activate the deconstruction technique on the "temporary effect of unknown name". 】
[It is estimated that it will take 5 points of energy to deconstruct this effect 100%. 】
[You currently have 15 energy points, are you sure to proceed with deconstruction? 】
Deconstructing "perception obstruction" only requires 1 energy point.
But this temporary effect requires 5 points.
Consumption increased to 5 times!
Li Nuo silently recited "confirm deconstruction" without hesitation.
Deconstruction activates.
A sense of trance passed through Li Nuo's mind regardless of his sleep state.
The system sent a message:
[Deconstruction successful! 】
[You have obtained the temporary effect panel information:]
【Name】Twilight Sleep
[Level] Level 1 (Level 15)
Affected by the "Mutation Inhibitor", the strength level of "Twilight Sleep" dropped from level 15 to level 1.
As the dose of "mutant inhibitor" decreases, the level of "Twilight Sleep" increases by one level every 24 hours, up to a maximum of level 15.
【Type】Mutation-type mutagenic factors, mutation-type modulation formulas
【Effect】
"Twilight Sleep" has begun to test you.
Every 24 hours, Golden Sleep's strength level will increase by 1, your "Fortitude" attribute value will decrease by -2, and you will gain 1 non-lethal effect.
Affected by the "mutation deterioration blocking factor", when your "Tenacity" attribute is about to return to zero, "Twilight Sleep" will automatically end, and your "Tenacity" attribute will quickly return to normal.
At the same time, enter the reward settlement process.
The content of the reward is character attributes.
The number of rewards is determined by the level at the end of "Dusk Sleep". The higher the level, the more attribute rewards you will receive.
【illustrate】
Your "Toughness" attribute base value is 11 points.
Affected by Level 1 "Twilight Sleep", the "Tenacity" attribute dropped to 9 points.
The system predicts that after 5 days, the effect of "Twilight Sleep" will end. At that time, the strength level will be level 5, and your "Tenacity" attribute will permanently +5.
It is expected that in 3 minutes, the first effect brought by "Twilight Sleep" will officially take effect.
The effect is: Dusk Dream.
…
"Oh! I understand! So that's what happened!"
Li Nuo suddenly realized.
The so-called duration of adverse reactions is the number of days required for the "toughness" attribute to drop to 0.
Like Mars, whose adverse reaction lasted for 9 days.
On the ninth day, his "Tenacity" attribute was about to return to zero, triggering the automatic termination effect of "Twilight Sleep", so he was able to eliminate all adverse reactions during a high fever.
To understand this, it is not difficult to come up with a calculation formula:
The number of days of adverse reactions = the base value of the "toughness" attribute ÷ 2.
The calculation result is rounded down to the nearest whole number, which is the number of days that each person's adverse reaction will last.
Using this formula to back-end, you will get a rough guess:
People whose adverse reactions lasted for more than 10 days each had a "toughness" attribute value of more than 20 points.
Furthermore, as long as you have more than 20 points of "Tenacity" attribute value when injecting the first injection of strengthening potion, you will definitely be promoted to the third level "Imperial Fist" in the future.
"Imperial Fist" is an extraordinary route that focuses on the "toughness" attribute.
Li Nuo's "Tenacity" attribute is only 11 points, which is lower than the average value of an ordinary adult.
Then there is a high probability that he will not be able to advance to the third level of "Imperial Fist" in the future.
But that’s not a bad thing…
He never intended to stay in the army.
Not to mention repaying the huge debts of his previous life, he also had to be used as a tool to do dangerous work where he would die in a death storm if he was not careful.
This kind of life is not what he wants.
If you can't be a third-level "Fist of the Empire", then you can't be considered a third-level "Fist of the Empire". Who cares about it?
Li Nuo pouted his non-existent "mouth".
Just when he complained that his "Tenacity" attribute was too low, three minutes passed by in a flash.
The first effect brought by "Twilight Sleep" has arrived.
The dusk dream begins.
A faint light emerged from the darkness before his eyes.
The light grew from weak to strong, illuminating his field of vision, like the morning light when the sun was rising, but more like the afterglow of the sunset at dusk.
After Li Nuo adapted to the change in light, he took a closer look, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a few minutes.
The setting sun hangs low in the sky and falls on the top of the mountains, releasing thousands of rays of light. The entire sky is as red as blood.
The beautiful sunset was breathtaking, but Li Nuo felt like it was stuck in his throat and it was difficult to express his admiration.
All because a huge figure was hung around the neck by a noose hanging from an infinite height in the dusk sky.
The figure towered into the sky, as if he could break the clouds with a wave of his hand, or break through mountains and rivers with a single step of his feet.
However, he was hanged.
Died on a black lasso stretching from the depths of the universe.
Li Nuo raised his head and looked far into the distance. His gaze penetrated the fiery red clouds, but he still could not find the end of the black noose in the sky.
A strange mountain wind blew by.
The tall figure hanging in the air swayed in the wind.
A thunderous and majestic sound came from the figure's body, setting off a monstrous sound wave, blowing away all the floating clouds, and making the earth tremble.
After a full minute, the echoes in the mountains gradually disappeared.
The earth is calm again, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle, and the sunset is still the same.
What kind of dream is this?
Who is the man hanging in the air?
how does he look like? Why was he hanged?
Who hung him here?
Where does that noose come from?
Does this dream have any meaning?
A lot of question marks appeared in Li Nuo's mind.
He looked down at his body.
His torso and limbs were gone, and he was now floating one meter above the ground in the form of a pale golden light ball.
He tried it.
In this strange dream, he can float freely.
The movement speed is about the same as normal human running speed.
It's also possible to float upwards, keeping the speed the same.
The so-called Wangshan race to death.
Although the figure in the sky is very huge, it seems to be right in front of you.
But in fact, using the mountains at the feet of the figure as a reference, the horizontal distance between Li Nuo and him was at least twenty kilometers. Moreover, the altitude of the other party should also be above two thousand meters.
Despite such a long distance and height difference, the figure still occupies a small half of the sky and blocks part of the sunset, which is enough to show how amazing his size is.
Anyway, Li Nuo couldn't estimate how huge he was for the time being.
"Anyway, I'm going to take a look at the mountains below the figure. That's the closest place to the figure. Maybe I'll find something."
Li Nuo floated forward for a while, and then realized that he had forgotten something.
He faced the direction of the figure and said silently in his heart:
"Launch the deconstruction technique, and the target is the figure hanging in the sky."
[System message: You are about to launch deconstruction on the "unknown target". 】
[It is estimated that every 3 billion energy points consumed can increase the completion of deconstruction by 1%. 】
[You currently have 10 energy points. Are you sure you want to deconstruct? 】
[System reminder: Your energy value is too low and you may not be able to obtain accurate deconstruction results. 】
"I'm a Diuleilou! It takes 300 billion energy points to completely deconstruct it! What on earth is this?"
Li Nuo sighed repeatedly towards the figure:
"Master, what do you do? Why do you still need me to expend so much energy to deconstruct it after you were hanged? Are you the dead God of Creation?"
Li Nuo thought about the passive effect of deconstruction, and his heart felt hot.
"No! I have to find a way to hurt that figure and see if I can use passive deconstruction to deconstruct something useful. For a boss of this level, just popping something out can kill me. It'll make my belly turn! If that doesn't work, I'll work hard and use all my energy to deconstruct him before the dream ends. By the way, the duration of this dream must be limited, so I must speed up."
Li Nuo pulled up his personal panel and took a look.
Sure enough, a few lines of text appeared on the entry for "Twilight Sleep":
[It is estimated that the dusk dream will end after 23 hours and 55 minutes. You will be forcibly awakened from sleep and gain a new debuff. The system predicts: moderate nausea. 】
"We have to hurry up..."
Li Nuo buried his "head" and rushed towards the mountains at the foot of the figure without saying a word.
