Inside the community safe house.
Qi Lin is sorting out his harvest.
There is also a bottle of yellow potion with only half its capacity left on the table.
This is a therapeutic injection.
It also has a bit of a physical enhancement effect, a bit like a multi-functional complex with morphine cardiotonic, therapeutic and other effects.
At the same time, it was also the precious therapeutic injection that the soldiers gave him in his previous life.
This precious injection can be said to save a life from death, except for serious injuries such as internal organ damage.
Cloak, machine manufacturing scroll, three yellow injections.
Three things are what the mycelium tentacles brought him.
After Qi Lin discovered that his physical fitness had been declining, he immediately thought of the physical decline caused by blood draws in his previous life.
At the same time, he thought of the medicine the soldier gave him, which prevented his physical condition from continuing to decline and allowed him to survive.
Qi Lin immediately took the potion and injected it into himself.
However, because this injection was too precious, he only took half of it as a test.
[Physique]: 2 (1.5)
Qi Lin glanced at the information on the physical fitness panel.
Finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh, it seems to be working."
“I’ll have to think of ways to get more of this later.”
"This may alleviate the problem of physical decline."
Qi Lin looked at the increasingly skinny palms. The veins and blood vessels on them began to gradually appear after the flesh and blood had faded for some unknown reason.
Since his physique gradually declined, he found that his body's flesh and blood gradually began to wither like a flower that has lost its nutrients.
But this kind of injection can only be obtained through demon species or merchants.
This also increased Qi Lin's desire to kill the demon species quickly and increase his monetary savings.
After putting aside the issue of physical fitness for the time being, Qi Lin turned his attention to the cloak equipment.
[Equipment]: Cloak of the Wandering Mage.
【Quality】: blue.
Note: Mountains, deserts, snowy mountains, swamps, etc. are all places that wandering mages like to visit.
In order to resist the changing climate of the outside world, the wandering mage asked an enchanter to enchant his cloak with two small spells: cooling and cold protection.
Note: The Wandering Mage's cloak comes with two small spells. When turned on, the charge is consumed to bring spell benefits to the wearer.
Note: Charging can be quickly increased by consuming basic mental attributes, or it can be slowly charged by absorbing free external elements.
Note: Basic mental attributes increase by ten points.
"Ten o'clock!"
"You can summon two more black warriors who consume eight points of spirit, plus some other undead!"
"As expected of blue equipment."
Qi Lin was in a happy mood at the moment, and his ring only increased his spirit by 2 points.
Even the bracelet obtained from the ogre only had three points.
But a blue-quality cloak adds a full ten points!
You know, the Black Iron Level Chosen One only has one attribute to allocate every time he levels up.
But just this piece of blue equipment brings all the attribute point bonuses of the chosen ones of the full black iron level!
"No wonder blue-quality equipment was so rare in the previous life. This blessing is so powerful!"
At the same level, whether there are equipment blessings and skill blessings determines the strength of the chosen one.
"Just a piece of blue equipment is so powerful, what about purple? What about red?"
Qi Lin squinted his eyes and remembered the message it had received when he killed the blood vine.
[Congratulations to the Chosen One: Winter Solstice, the first regular-level demon kill in a global war zone! 】
[Rewards will be distributed after subsequent modules are opened! 】
"Will it be a reward of high-quality equipment? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Qi Lin immediately put on his cloak.
The huge black cloak could almost completely wrap around his body twice.
His fingers caressed the black fabric, giving it a smooth texture.
Qi Lin walked to the mirror and took a look.
He had short hair and his originally delicate face looked so thin now.
The eyes covered with red bloodshot eyes are also so conspicuous.
If you look carefully at the eyebrows, you will find that they wrinkle from time to time, giving the whole person a lifeless and depressed feeling.
The black-looking wandering mage cloak comes with two shoulder straps.
The huge and wide cloak tightly wrapped Qi Lin's whole body, not even the neck was exposed.
If you wear a black mask, glasses and other face coverings.
Then Qi Lin will turn into black, without any color.
"Wind protection!"
Qi Lin's consciousness shifted slightly and he activated one of the two small spells that came with the cloak: the cold protection spell.
As the magic patterns on the surface of the cloak disappeared, Qi Lin, who was tightly wrapped in the cloak, felt as hot as being in a furnace.
He tried to slightly adjust the consumption rate of the charge, and found that the heat was slowly changing accordingly.
"Isn't this a controllable switch?"
Qi Lin was like a child who got a beloved toy at the moment, constantly testing the effectiveness of the magic that comes with the cloak.
After some testing, he found that about 1 spirit was enough to charge the cloak.
Depending on the speed at which the charge elapses, the lifespan of a single charge is approximately three to ten days.
When the spell is not turned on statically, its charge will also slowly increase.
"This should be what the notes say, slowly absorbing the stray elements from the outside world."
After the test, Qi Lin returned to the sofa.
The whole person was wrapped in a black textured cloak, like a big rice dumpling.
He slowly stretched out his increasingly thin right hand from the cloak and picked up the mechanical scroll.
At this moment, the devil's whisper in Qi Lin's heart was still tempting him to destroy this scroll.
"Destroy him! Destroy him!"
"You only need the Scourge! You can't use it! There is no need to consume materials to build this machine!"
"Destroy him! Destroy him quickly!"
Feeling that his mood was getting increasingly irritable, Qi Lin shook his head vigorously and shouted in his heart: "It's not your turn to make the decision! Get out!"
Perhaps Qi Lin's words had an effect, and the devil's whisper slowly dissipated.
But he knew very well that this was only a temporary suppression.
In the future, these deceptive demonic whispers will still appear.
"Could this muttering and auditory hallucination be related to physical decline?"
Qi Lin looked at the only half of the healing potion left on the table and fell into deep thought.
After a while, he quickly took out all the currency he had accumulated from the space ring.
The sound the jingling currency made when it was spread across the table was so beautiful.
With these little cuties, Qi Lin can buy a lot of injections from merchants to suppress the decline of physical fitness.
"Maybe after the physical decline slows down, the auditory hallucinations and whispers will also decrease."
After some counting, Qi Lin took back these cuties.
"One hundred copper coins is one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins is one gold coin."
"There are probably nearly three gold coins at the moment."
Qi Lin wanted to use the signal stick to summon the merchant.
In addition to purchasing the items he needed, he also had some questions that needed answers.
But soon, his remaining sense told him: the props for summoning merchants were too precious, and you should wait.
"Summon new units at level 20 as soon as possible, and then summon merchants with more currency."
Qi Lin squinted his eyes and thought carefully about how to maximize the use of precious props.
"When the time comes, I can also sell information fees, and then I can wait and see and earn two more sums."
While Qi Lin was thinking, the ghost forward who was heading towards the Athens Hotel reported: "Master, the third child has discovered the businessman you told him to pay attention to before!"
Um? ? ?
Qi Lin didn't have time to think, and quickly took out all the currency and handed it to Heifeng in the room: "Take these and go find the third child."
"I will obey my emperor's will!"
Then Qi Lin used his consciousness to descend, and his vision suddenly changed to Lao San.
A square blocked by abandoned vehicles.
The businessman is walking towards Wanda Plaza.
Carrying his huge luggage, he climbed over abandoned vehicles one after another.
The toad at his feet with pustules all over its back also followed him in a jumping motion, croaking and croaking.
Within the ghostly vision of Qi Lin's consciousness.
The businessman seemed tired from walking.
He sat down on the vehicle, unbuttoned his jacket and started to fan himself.
"Really tired?"
Qi Lin was a little confused.
According to rumors in the previous life, all the chosen ones or demons who offended the merchants were turned into statues and stood in the southern city of Zhili.
No one knows how powerful the businessman is.
But the power of businessmen is a fact.
An indisputable fact.
At this moment, the merchant's exposed green skin was covered with dense beads of sweat.
He looked really exhausted.
But Qi Lin didn't believe that this powerful character who sold various props would be tired.
"Maybe there's another purpose."
Qi Lin thought deeply: "It will be a while before Black Wind arrives, let's take a look first."
On the top of the vehicle, the businessman was tasting something that looked like a monkey brain.
His facial expression looked very comfortable.
The toad under his feet also crossed its legs and started reading.
The city full of wreckage seemed to be just an ordinary background color to them, and they felt no danger at all.
"Ook!"
Bang!
The businessman kicked the toad next to him who was reading with gusto, smoothed the sparse hair on the top of his head and said, "Oke, do you know?"
The toad croaked twice and said, "Idiot, I know nothing!"
The businessman didn't care about the toad's disgusting tone and said to himself: "Ok, most demon species are just mindless murderous beasts, because this is the will of the gods who created them."
"Orks, and many humans are beasts, real monsters."
Qi Lin on the side felt something was wrong.
Although he was a bit paranoid about being persecuted after his rebirth, it also brought him extreme sensitivity.
"Why does it feel like he said this to the people next to him?"
"There's no one around, except"
"I!"
Qi Lin felt that there must be a demon when something went wrong, but he couldn't find any evidence.
After controlling the ghost and looking around, he found no one or anything moving.
There were only vehicle wreckage and dead creatures all around.
After Qi Lin thought for a while, he decided to continue to listen to what medicine the merchant was selling.
The businessman continued to shake his head and asked himself: "Oak, many monsters are not evil intentionally. They usually just follow their own instincts. There are also souls full of true feelings among the demon species."
"Idiot! You mean I have to eat less, right?" Toad flipped the pages of the book and responded angrily.
The businessman patted the bottom of the vehicle, which made a thumping sound.
"Ook! You only know how to eat! What else will you do besides eating! You useless loser!"
Qi Lin on the side was even more confused.
Toad eats devil seeds?
Really just tired and making small talk?
Qi Lin's thoughts were swirling, but he heard the businessman continue: "Ok, among those demon species, there are furbolgs who were once cursed for doing evil, but actually fell in love with the vampire monster."
"There are also shape-shifters who have extraordinary business acumen and just want to settle down in the city."
"Oak, I've also seen a werewolf who never harmed anyone even in his wolf form. He likes to play with cats and has a group of poor homeless kittens."
There was a hint of nostalgia in the businessman's green bean-like eyes: "He also used a rare blue piece of equipment from a human settlement in exchange for cat food, cat grass, toys and other gadgets."
The businessman sighed: "They are just monsters forced by the world. They are more like humans with some quirks or flaws. They deserve kindness and help."
"Ok, in comparison, the intrigues between people are even more ugly."
The toad croaked strangely: "Idiot, shut up now!"
The businessman continued to shake his head and said: "Oak, I remember someone used a purple gold coin to bribe the werewolf, hoping to get him to help destroy a human settlement."
"Ok, those people always think that money can buy everything, but the werewolf does not blindly follow them. I still remember what the werewolf told me about his observances: Don't do evil for small things, no matter how small the evil deeds are. Big or neither small nor big, evil is evil."
"Ok, be a god"
When the businessman said this, he quickly changed his words: "When a person or a demon is so powerful that the world is shocked, the only thing that can restrain him is his own inner morality and principles."
Qi Lin, who had been observing from a distance, became even more confused.
What does this mean?
If you are telling it to yourself, is it just to talk about some so-called philosophy of life?
If it's just a casual chat, why do you think this businessman is a little sentimental?
It doesn’t fit his image as a shrewd philistine businessman at all!
Qi Lin was thinking.
Dark Knight Black Wind came from the end of the street in the distance.
Qi Lin's soul descended and quickly switched to Heifeng and took control.
The magic lines on Heifeng's legs shone as he rushed towards the businessman.
Qi Lin's undead troops have surrounded the Athens Hotel.
After dealing with the businessman's affairs, he had to transfer his body, and then he was busy preparing for the demon hunting in the Athens Hotel.
The characteristics of the mycelium-contacting demon species alerted him.
At this critical moment when rapid development is needed, Qi Lin must do everything himself and cannot be lazy.
Soon, Black Wind came to the businessman.
Qi Lin controlled Heifeng and thought about the way the businessman gave up to him when he first met.
He cupped his hands and said, "Your store."
Before Black Wind's hoarse voice finished speaking, he saw the merchant suddenly turning his back to him and saying: "Oak! Our store only operates business for humans, and does not open undead business for the time being."
Qi Lin:? ? ? ?
Qi Lin was speechless and ordered Heifeng to wait where he was.
Then the main body began to rush towards the merchant.
But what surprised Qi Lin.
When he arrived at the businessman, the businessman was sitting on top of the vehicle, as if waiting for his arrival.
Qi Lin narrowed his eyes, strode forward and imitated a businessman, cupping his hands and saying, "Long time no see, businessman."
This sentence seemed to turn on some kind of switch for the businessman, and he suddenly jumped up from the top of the vehicle!
Bang!
Then the short body hit the top of the vehicle hard, forming a groove.
The businessman cupped his hands, strode away from the vehicle, trotted to Qi Lin, raised his head and said, "Oke Oke! Isn't this the store's distinguished VIP gold card customer?"
"Ook! How are you doing, guest?"
Qi Lin was silent for a while and then replied, "Your store is still so welcoming. Everything is fine."
"Oke Oke! That's good, that's good!" The businessman's enthusiastic look seemed like he was meeting an old friend after many years.
With a plop, the businessman dropped the big bag on his back to the ground.
Then he asked Qi Lin enthusiastically: "My guest and I are really quite destined! What does the guest want to buy? Or what do you want to sell?"
Qi Lin ignored the conspiracy theories in his mind and quickly talked about the issue he was most concerned about.
"In addition to selling items, can your store answer some of my personal questions?"
Qi Lin said, taking the money bag from Heifeng and handing it to the merchant: "Of course, I won't let your store work in vain."
The businessman happily opened the money bag, and after just one glance, he said in surprise: "Ouke! After not seeing each other for a few days, the customer actually has gold coins? The shop is really surprised!"
Qi Lin remained silent, watching the businessman waiting for the result.
The businessman rolled his eyes and said: "Of course, the store is just for selling, but for some information you have to find professionals: Traveler, the store can only answer some basic questions, and the price is expensive!"
"Oak, please consider this, guest!"
traveller?
Qi Lin searched through the memories of his previous life and found no relevant information.
There are not even rumors related to this name.
Qi Lin buried the name deeply in his heart, then smiled at the merchant and said: "I believe in the credibility of your store. I just ask. If your store feels that the currency is not enough, you can refuse to answer."
Considering that a businessman is a monopoly business.
Qi Lin simply chose to be a bachelor, which would make him look generous.
The businessman laughed and cupped his hands and replied: "The customers are so generous! The store likes such cheerful customers! Just ask, the store will definitely give you a fair price!"
Seeing this situation, Qi Lin quickly asked: "First question, I want to know why, as my level increases, it becomes more and more difficult to obtain experience points?"
Qi Lin still remembers that when he killed the blood vine, he jumped several levels at a time.
But the two demon species killed later did not cross too many levels.
This made Qi Lin feel worried.
Most of the information he knew about where the demon species appeared was brought about by certain rumors in the previous life.
For example, a certain demon species appeared in a certain place and killed many people. It was so powerful.
Qi Lin knew very well that those demon species were not ordinary mindless corpse beasts or mutants. ,
The further back, the higher the IQ of those demon species.
Moreover, the strange soliloquy of the businessman just now also showed that the demon species does not seem to be just simple monsters.
But Qi Lin was not in the mood to think about those things for the time being.
He just wants to know about the experience value, which is related to his future development plan.
The businessman thought for a while and then replied: "Ouke, the actual function of the guest's Chosen Panel is to check one's own situation in real time, so as to better know ourselves and the enemy."
"The so-called experience value is actually the degree of evolution. Guests can also understand it as a progress bar."
"Evolution requires energy. For example, the world is undergoing transformation, and various magical and extraordinary elements have gradually appeared in the air."
The businessman pointed at the fog in the distance and said: "Ok, even if the Chosen Ones do nothing, as the world transformation process accelerates, the human body will naturally absorb some free energy. In other words, it is the experience on the Chosen Ones panel. The value has increased.”
Seeing Qi Lin's thoughtful look, the businessman continued: "Of course, killing the demon species will speed up this energy, that is, speed up the progress of experience points."
"The shackles on the human genetic chain are inherently fixed. As long as a few people are born, some shackles will be unlocked. The specific representatives are, for example, some people are born smart, some are tall, and some people can run fast."
"But these are just a few people. But with the great transformation of the world, everyone can break through the genetic shackles through energy accumulation."
"This kind of energy, the energy contained in different demon species is also different. If the customer wants to upgrade quickly, the best way is to kill more different demon species to obtain different energies that can break through the genetic shackles."
"When the energy storage is full, the genetic shackles are opened. This is an upgrade!"
"But as more genetic shackles are opened, the upper limit of subsequent full energy storage will also increase."
The businessman took out a bottle of strange-looking drink, took two sips, and continued: "But the rapid upgrade is good or bad. The guests should have seen that the corpse beasts disintegrated into pulp because they upgraded too fast."
The businessman shrugged: "Of course, humans have the Chosen One Panel, so they don't have to worry about this kind of disintegration, but relatively speaking, the speed of opening the genetic shackles, that is, the speed of upgrading, is not as fast as that of the corpse beasts."
"Guest!" the businessman said in a serious tone: "Sometimes a little slower is not a bad thing."
But obviously, Qi Lin, who only wanted to upgrade quickly and organize the Scourge Legion, did not particularly care about the merchant's last words.
Qi Lin smiled and said: "Maybe it would be more stable to go slower, but if it is too slow..."
He pointed to the gnawed human remains in the vehicle next to him and said, "It will be like this."
The businessman shrugged: "Ok, you can understand your guests' mood."
Qi Lin thought for a while and said: "So, the higher the level, the harder it is to open the genetic shackles. If I want to level up quickly, I must kill more demon species, and preferably different types of demon species?"
