The failure of the "Evolutionary Divine Grace" skill made Su Ze determined that he must go to Mu Country to replenish the "Evolutionary Divine Grace" skill before his fifth evolution.
And in this process, there is a high probability that there will be a conflict with the Shepherd King.
Su Ze didn't know the strength of King Mu, but he was certain that he was at least no weaker than the established overlords such as Gu Chenguang and Budi.
Now that Su Ze has just made a breakthrough, his strength is even worse than that of the veteran Saint level, so he is no match for the Shepherd King.
But he still has a lot of room for improvement.
After completing the fourth evolution, his skills can be upgraded again, and he can even absorb a tube of fifth-level extract...
Su Ze planned to make himself as strong as possible before going to Mu Country.
I will go to the laboratory tomorrow to identify the fifth-level extract I got from Amida to see if it is suitable for me to absorb, and then formulate a detailed skill upgrade plan... Su Ze has already set his schedule for tomorrow. The queue is packed.
…
Early the next morning, Su Ze followed Liu Wenyin to the laboratory.
He first handed Amida's broken body to Liu Wenyin.
"As a spiritual overlord, the most precious part of Armida is his brain, which is the source of his spiritual power. If we want to use his brain as a communication base station, we first need to erase his consciousness, but we cannot kill him. Kill him." Liu Wenyin said.
All in all, it turns him into a living dead without self-awareness.
Su Ze looked at Armida lying on the experimental table. His body was broken and blackened. His limbs had been removed by Su Ze, and he had been poisoned by Su Ze, making his body unable to heal itself.
However, as a spiritual overlord, his spiritual power is still quite strong, and he has recovered a lot.
In order to prevent him from hurting others, Su Ze punched him on the head every now and then to ensure that he remained unconscious.
Next, under Liu Wenyin's guidance, Su Ze tried to use mental power for the first time to erase Armida's consciousness.
But they still underestimated the tenacity of a spiritual overlord's consciousness, and the first attempt quickly failed.
Compared with Amida, Su Ze's mental strength is still slightly behind, so it is difficult to achieve this.
As a last resort, the two had no choice but to seek help from Zhou Wenshan, who was also the overlord of the spiritual system.
When Zhou Wenshan came to the laboratory and saw Amida, he was also shocked.
"Did you catch him?" He looked at Su Ze in shock.
"Yeah." Su Ze nodded.
"What about Ye Muni?"
"The two of them attacked me together. Yemuni was killed by me. I thought Amida's brain was still useful, so I spared his life."
After listening to Su Ze's words, Zhou Wenshan suddenly felt a little cold in his head.
Moreover, he and Armida are both veteran spiritual overlords, and their strength is about the same. If Su Ze can capture Armida alive, he can also defeat him.
What's even more exaggerated is that if Zhou Wenshan remembers correctly, Su Ze was in the butterfly stage when Armida and Ye Muni had an accident!
What a perversion!
Su Ze smiled and said modestly: "I just happen to be more restrained against spiritual evolvers."
It means to defeat me... Zhou Wenshan sighed and brought the topic back to Armida.
After figuring out what Su Ze wanted to do, he thought for a while, nodded, and said: "When the time comes, prepare a few more mobile phones, and give each of us old guys one."
Mobile phones that rely on mental communication, in addition to not requiring a signal, are also absolutely safe and confidential.
Ever since they learned that there might be a conspiracy of alien life hidden in the blood crystals, Gu Chenguang and Zhou Wenshan no longer had the trust they once had in the dominant country, and they became more cautious.
With Zhou Wenshan's help, they successfully erased Armida's consciousness. Then Liu Wenyin showed off her precise anatomy techniques. It didn't take long to take out Armida's white brain from her head and soak it in the costume. A clear glass vessel filled with unknown liquid.
Su Ze could even see that Amida's brain was still beating slightly.
He handed over the psychic phone that originally belonged to Bai Guishou to Liu Wenyin and asked her to copy it and make a batch of them. Zhou Wenshan also mobilized a group of experts from Dongli University to assist Liu Wenyin.
This is not difficult for them, and the results are expected to come soon.
After Zhou Wenshan left, Su Ze handed the fifth-level extract in his hand to Liu Wenyin and asked her to help identify it.
"This is an extract from a fifth-level alien beast recorded in the database. It is a marine alien beast named 'Sword Split'. It is rated as a fifth-level A-level alien beast. What they are good at is mental. Attack, so the skills in this tube of extracts are all spiritual skills, which are not suitable for you." Liu Wenyin said.
"It seems that this is the extract prepared by Amida for herself." Su Ze was not disappointed at all. The chance that a tube of extract would be just right for him was too small.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't suit him, he can exchange it.
As for leaving it to others... The spiritual evolver around him who is worthy of giving him the fifth-level extract is Liu Wenyin. However, Liu Wenyin has only just emerged from the cocoon stage, and he doesn't know that he will only need it in the year of the monkey.
It is better to use the resources at hand as much as possible into their own strength, so that when Liu Wenyin needs fifth-level extracts in the future, Su Ze might have the strength to help her hunt for fifth-level exotic beasts.
Su Ze put away the Shark Shark extract. Next, he discussed it with Liu Wenyin and worked out a skill upgrade plan for himself.
At the Saint level, if Su Ze wants to climb to a higher evolutionary level, he must continue to strengthen and upgrade his skills.
If a Saint-level overlord wants to attack the Saint-level Supreme, the threshold is to absorb a tube of fifth-level extract and upgrade all other skills to fourth level.
It seems that the need for extracts has decreased, and it seems that evolution has become easier, but in fact it is more difficult and more expensive.
An ordinary evolver, after becoming a saint-level overlord, will master twelve skills, excluding the three fourth-level skills absorbed during the butterfly transformation stage, which means there will be nine skills below fourth level.
These nine skills all need to be upgraded to the fourth level, which requires a large amount of evolutionary materials and extracts, and the financial resources and energy consumed are unimaginable.
Even if it is achieved, it has only reached the threshold to a higher life level. Whether it can successfully evolve depends on the quality of these skills and its own background.
Su Ze has more skills than others because of his "Evolution Divine Grace" skill. This also makes him have more skills to upgrade than others and consumes more money.
Of course, more efforts will naturally bring more rewards. If he can upgrade all his skills to the fourth level, his success rate for the fifth evolution will be far higher than others.
Moreover, he has been strengthening and upgrading his skills since the pupa stage. It can be said that he has been doing what a saint should do early on.
This also allowed him to save a lot of things and a lot of time after he became the overlord.
With Liu Wenyin's help, Su Zexian made a summary of all his skills and graded them one by one.
So far, he has mastered a total of sixteen skills.
They are: Rhinoceros, Ant Power, Needle Strike, Regenerative Body, Raging Waves, Knowledge is Power, Wings of Sky and Sea, Gravity Dust, Body of Thunder God, Eye of Truth, Unyielding Will, Liquid Life, Strongest Punch, Impact Cannon, expansion, evolution grace.
First of all, exclude the skills that are initially level 4 and above. There is no rush to upgrade these skills. They can be strengthened easily when you encounter suitable materials. If you don’t encounter them, you don’t need to force them.
There are: Unyielding Will (Level 4, C), Liquid Life (Level 4, S), The Strongest Punch (Level 4, S), Impact Cannon (Level 4, A), Expansion (Level 5, B)
Although "Shock Cannon" is only Level 4 A, when combined with "Swell", it can exert as much power as any Level 4 S-level attack skill. In addition, it also goes well with "The Strongest Punch", which is very effective against Su Ze. It is said to be more useful than the ordinary fourth-level S-level skills.
In the same way, although "Unyielding Will" is only level 4 C, it plays a vital role for Su Ze.
In addition, there are some skills that have been upgraded and strengthened by Su Ze in the later stage. After Liu Wenyin's evaluation, he also believed that their strength has reached the fourth level.
Such skills include: Regenerative Body (Fourth Level S), Knowledge is Power (Fourth Level S).
The "Regenerative Body" has been strengthened and upgraded many times to reach the fourth level S level. Su Ze expected it. However, after only one upgrade, the "Knowledge is Power", which was originally only the second level S+ level skill, was actually rated as the fourth level by Liu Wenyin. S level, this was something Su Ze didn't expect.
In Liu Wenyin's words, it can directly strengthen Su Ze at the cellular level, and it can be strengthened multiple times, with a considerable degree of strengthening. This is definitely a very precious skill among the fourth-level skills.
If one day, Su Ze can upgrade the "knowledge is power" skill to directly strengthen the genetic level, then this skill has definitely crossed the threshold of a god-level skill!
Excluding these seven skills, and counting the "Evolution Divine Grace" skill that cannot be evaluated or upgraded, there are still eight skills that Su Ze needs to upgrade.
They are all third-level skills, and Su Ze has no skills below third level for a long time.
The eight third-level skills are: Rhinoceros, Ant Power, Needle Strike, Raging Waves, Wings of Sky and Sea, Gravity Dust, Body of Thunder God, and Eye of Truth.
Except for "Ten Thousand Wrathful Waves", all the others are third-level S-level or S+-level skills.
"Raging Waves" was originally a second-level S+ skill. Since acquiring this skill, it has only experienced a small skill enhancement, which added the effect of additional ground damage.
However, it is an S+ level skill. Even after this small enhancement, according to Liu Wenyin's assessment, this skill has at least reached the level of third level B or even A level.
What Su Ze has to do next is to upgrade all these eight skills to level four skills!
The simplest and most reliable way to upgrade skills is to find extracts containing higher-level skills to absorb the coverage and upgrade.
Ideally, Su Ze only needs to find eight tubes of level four extracts to upgrade all eight skills to level four.
But the actual situation is that some high-level skills are very rare, and there may not even be any exotic beasts in the entire Blue Star.
Just like many of Su Ze's skills, they are very rare skills. Some even come from mutant beasts, and there are no high-level skills at all.
When encountering this situation, you need to find other evolutionary materials. These evolutionary materials may come from exotic beasts or spiritual plants. Some evolutionary materials happen to be able to upgrade a certain skill, or strengthen a certain aspect of a certain skill.
Many of Su Ze's skills have been upgraded and strengthened through various evolutionary materials, such as spiritual root tree marrow, fourth-level coral polyp tentacles, evolutionary original solution, geocentric potatoes, etc.
Liu Wenyin typed out Su Ze's skill upgrading plan on the computer word for word. While typing on the keyboard, she said:
"For those skills that cannot be upgraded with higher-level skills, you can change your thinking and 'break' them into pieces and strengthen them separately. When all aspects of this skill are strengthened, it will naturally complete an upgrade."
"What do you mean?" Su Ze didn't quite understand.
What does it mean to "break" a skill?
Liu Wenyin explained: "To give a simple example, take your flying skill 'Wings of Sky and Sea'. The effect of this skill is to allow you to 'gain the ability to fly in the air and swim in the water'. When you cannot find perfect coverage, When it is an advanced skill, you can split this skill into two parts, namely 'air flight' and 'water swimming', and then strengthen them separately.
"When these two abilities are strengthened by you to a certain extent, this skill can be upgraded to a fourth-level skill."
Su Ze realized that it could still be like this!
Use multiple enhancements in all aspects to replace an overall upgrade.
This provided him with many ideas.
Take his "Raging Waves" skill as an example. This skill has many effects and can be "broken" into three parts, including range attack, stun control, and range perception.
The previously enhanced "ground damage bonus" can actually be attributed to the enhanced range attack capability.
In the future, Su Ze can consider strengthening the control ability and perception ability of this skill to upgrade this skill.
"It's done. I'll send your skill upgrade plan to you." Liu Wenyin took her hands off the keyboard and stretched lazily, highlighting her proud figure more and more.
Ding dong!
Su Ze received the document from Liu Wenyin on his mobile phone. When he opened it, Liu Wenyin listed the extracts that may contain his eight advanced skills, as well as some evolutions that may help him strengthen or upgrade his skills. All materials are also summarized.
This will save Su Ze a lot of trouble when upgrading and strengthening his skills in the future, and the collection of materials and extracts will be more targeted and efficient.
"Then I'll go first, sister." Su Ze waved goodbye to Liu Wenyin and left the laboratory.
Next, he had to go to the Dongli Treasury. He had already greeted Gu Chenguang in the morning.
There will be his first stop to collect materials and upgrade his skills.
…
"Xiao Zhang!"
At the gate of the People's Association headquarters, Zhang Taizheng was walking smoothly when a shout suddenly came from behind him, causing his steps to stop subconsciously.
Did you call me... Zhang Tai wasn't sure.
As Gu Chenguang's most trusted secretary, he is also in the Butterfly Stage with the appearance of a saint. There are not many people in Dongli who can call him that.
Maybe he was calling someone else... Zhang Tai took steps again, but suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.
He suddenly thought of someone he least wanted to see right now!
Damn it, why did I run into him!
Ever since Zhang Tai learned that Su Ze had been promoted to the Saint level yesterday, he had made up his mind that he would never leave the house until he reached the Saint level.
He recently took a vacation at home to prepare for the fourth evolution. He has not been to the work for a long time.
Unexpectedly, early this morning, Gu Chenguang suddenly called him to come over. Zhang Tai didn't know what it was, so he packed up and came over.
What was even more unexpected was that he met Su Ze at the door.
Zhang Tai turned his head stiffly, not knowing how to address Su Ze for a moment.
Su Ze is now the patron saint of Dongli and has a higher rank than him. He is his leader in every aspect.
"Su...Minister Su." Zhang Tai stumbled and shouted.
He remembered that Su Ze and Brother Ya seemed to have false posts as deputy ministers in the Ministry of National Security.
"Not bad, do your best." Su Ze gave him an encouraging look.
Zhang Tai gritted his teeth. When the two met for the first time, Su Ze always called him "Uncle Zhang". Now he calls him "Xiao Zhang"?
I will hit the holy level when I get back, I can't stand this arrogance!
Zhang Tai made up his mind secretly.
"Su Ze... Minister Su!"
"Hello, Minister Su."
"Wow! Minister Su!"
When Su Ze entered the headquarters of the People's Association, everyone who saw him greeted him and saluted him, all with respect and admiration.
This made Zhang Tai feel even more sad and envious, wishing he could evolve on the spot.
Su Ze went straight to Gu Chenguang's office, but he didn't expect Zhang Tai to be traveling with him all the time. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you looking for Lao Gu too?"
"President Gu asked me to come," Zhang Tai said.
Su Ze was thoughtful and probably guessed Gu Chenguang's purpose in calling Zhang Tai over.
In the past, every time Su Ze came to see Gu Chenguang, he would ask his secretary to inform him. This time, he drove straight in and came directly outside Gu Chenguang's office.
Out of courtesy, he knocked on the door, and when the voice of "come in" sounded, he pushed the door open and walked in with Zhang Tai.
"You two arrived together, that's just right." Gu Chenguang stood up and said with a smile, "Zhang Tai, take Minister Su to the treasury."
Gu Chenguang said, throwing something like a USB flash drive to Zhang Tai.
The two didn't stay long and left Gu Chenguang's office after chatting for a few words.
The Dongli National Treasury is built at the headquarters of the People's Association. When they went out, they turned a corner and went straight to the National Treasury.
Zhang Tai picked up something that looked like a USB flash drive in his hand and introduced: "This is the key to the national treasury. It is only in the hands of successive presidents of the People's Association. To enter the national treasury, at least two patron saints of Dongli must be present, and this key is needed to enter the national treasury." open the door."
Su Ze nodded slightly and understood why Gu Chenguang asked Zhang Tai to come over.
As Gu Chenguang's secretary for many years, Zhang Tai can represent Gu Chenguang to a certain extent. Opening the treasury requires the presence of two patron saints, so Zhang Tai replaced Gu Chenguang.
As for why Gu Chenguang didn't come by himself, it might be because he was too busy and had no time, or it might be to express his trust in Su Ze - look, I only sent Hua Dieqi to follow you when you entered the treasury, and I didn't monitor you at all. Don't worry about what you mean.
Su Ze prefers the latter.
The Dongli National Treasury is a metal house made of super alloy material, completely sealed and airtight.
In front of the gate, there was a butterfly-stage evolver guarding the gate with a few soldiers.
Seeing Su Ze and Zhang Tai coming, these soldiers saluted, but they still had to check their identities one by one to prevent them from sneaking in disguised as others.
After confirming their identities, they turned sideways to let the two people pass.
Arriving at the metal door of the treasury, Zhang Tai inserted the "key". After a moment, the thick metal door of the treasury slowly opened.
Zhang Tai made an inviting gesture and said, "Minister Su, I'll be waiting outside. You... just go in."
Su Ze pushed open the treasury door and stepped inside.
There was no circuit in this dark metal room, and there was no light at all, but this had no effect on Su Ze. He observed everything in the room in turn.
There are piles and piles of evolutionary items in the room, but they are all arranged in categories according to level and category.
The largest number were various low-level evolutionary items, including various materials, extracts, medicines, etc... The further Su Ze went inside, the higher the level of the surrounding evolutionary items became.
He wanted to upgrade his skill level to the fourth level, and at least it had to be an evolutionary item above the fourth level to help him, so he directly skipped the area from the first to the third level and walked all the way to the fourth level storage area.
"Rare objects, extracts, materials, medicines..." The fourth-level storage area is mainly divided into these four categories.
There is no need to look at the extract area. Dongli's fourth-level high-level extract has been in short supply, and the rest are some fourth-level low-level extracts, which do not contain what he needs.
He first came to the materials area, where various evolutionary materials were densely packed on the metal shelves.
Su Ze stretched out his hand and touched everything at a certain distance to see if there was anything that could cause his body to react.
In this regard, Su Ze has experience. Evolution materials that strongly attract him are materials that can upgrade his skills. Materials that only attract him slightly can only strengthen a certain skill of his.
After walking around, Su Ze searched through all the fourth-level materials in the treasury, and he actually found a few strengthening materials that slightly attracted him.
However, none of the upgrade materials that could strongly attract him and arouse his body's instincts were found.
"Sure enough, it's not that easy..." Su Ze shook his head, put away all the strengthening materials, and turned towards the medicine area.
Some natural medicines can actually upgrade and strengthen skills. For example, the marrow of the spiritual root tree and the core potato are all natural medicines, but they have upgraded Su Ze's "Regenerative Body" skills.
Unfortunately, none of the natural medicines in Dongli's treasury made Su Ze feel anything.
He could only leave the fourth-level area and go to the fifth-level storage area.
As soon as he walked in here, Su Ze suddenly stopped and looked at the strange objects area aside.
He actually felt a strong attraction from the strange object!
Can rare items also upgrade my skills?
This was the first time Su Ze had heard that there were people who could absorb rare objects to upgrade their skills, but he could not mistake this familiar feeling.
He quickly walked to the rare objects area, where there was an exquisite glass display cabinet. The items that could be stored here were all fifth-level rare objects, and they were also Dongli's national treasures!
There are only three fifth-level rare objects in the entire Dongli.
Su Ze looked at the three strange objects in the display cabinet, among which he was familiar with the "Eye of Dreamweaver". It was this strange object that Aunt Yun relied on to drive Feng Buqing crazy.
What attracted him strongly was another strange object next to the Eye of Dreamweaver.
That’s an eyeball too! It’s almost identical to the Eye of Dreamweaver!
The only difference is the color of the two eyeballs. The Dreamweaver Eye has a blue pupil, while the other eyeball has a black pupil.
As the patron saint, Su Ze has the authority to view the information on all treasures in the treasury. He immediately inquired and learned the origin of this fifth-level rare object.
It is called the "Eye of Insight", and its function is to perceive a large area around it, understand all changes, see through all illusions and fog, and can sense everything within the area regardless of the terrain.
Its sensing range is quite wide and can be extended to the entire Dongping City. However, the larger the sensing range, the greater the consumption.
In addition, it has a certain "field" effect. When the range of the convergence induction is within 100 meters, it can invalidate all illusion skills in the area.
"This effect... feels like it should be a material for upgrading the 'Eye of True' skill."
The Eye of Insight and the Eye of Dreamweaver turned out to be a pair, coming from a saint-level supreme powerhouse in the history of Dongli Kingdom.
The supreme powerhouse once served as the president of Dongli University. After being promoted to supreme, he went to the dominant country. However, he returned to Dongli in his later years. After his death, he left behind two fifth-level wonders transformed from his own pair of eyeballs.
Su Ze wanted this Eye of Insight. After all, it was a material that could directly upgrade one of his skills.
But even the patron saint of Dongli cannot take things from the treasury at will. He also has to pay contribution points.
Su Ze originally had more than 10 million contribution points, and after becoming a patron saint, he was rewarded with 10 million more. However, more than 20 million contribution points were not enough to exchange for a fifth-level rare item.
And this is the national treasure of Dongli Town!
It would be fine if you use it, but if you use it with a holy level skill, it will directly damage this rare object.
To do it or not to do it?
Without hesitation, Su Ze carefully put the Eye of Insight into the storage item.
Afraid of a hammer!
He has fifth-level and sixth-level extracts in his storage items, but he is still worried that he cannot afford this fifth-level rare item?
The worst thing is credit...
Next, Su Ze walked around the material section of the fifth-level area and picked out two strengthening materials.
After that, there was nothing else to gain.
The fifth-level area of Dongli Treasury is already the highest, and there is no sixth-level material area.
But Su Ze was already satisfied. After totaling it up, he found the upgrade material "Eye of Insight" and six or seven other strengthening materials.
If he goes to Evolution Technology later, he will probably gain a lot.
What he was worried about now was how to get Gu Chenguang to agree to lend him the Eye of Insight on credit.
Rare objects are generally more valuable than extracts of the same level. The tube of fifth-level extract on Su Ze is actually not enough to exchange for the Eye of Insight. Unless he takes out the sixth-level extract, the Dongli treasury will still come to him. money.
It's just that the sixth-level extract is too rare, and Su Ze doesn't want to trade it.
Arriving outside the treasury gate, Su Ze took out the various materials he selected along with his insightful eyes one by one.
Those six or seven materials only cost 9 million contribution points, so Su Ze paid for them on the spot.
But the Eye of Insight...this thing is actually priced at 100 million contribution points!
"Uncle Gu, I have something to discuss with you..." Su Ze immediately dialed Gu Chenguang's number, "Well, I want to make an installment payment."
This 7k words, I made up the 800 I owed yesterday.
