"these are……"
Zhang Xiaoman's eyes froze, and he looked at the symbols on the ground solemnly.
"Are these the languages of the Era system?"
The scene that had happened suddenly came to his mind.
Zhang Xiaoman remembers clearly that the scarecrow-like Ursa uttered some words when it faded into the wasteland next to the Han Dynasty Tomb, thus imprinting its language on himself.
I saw that these words were very weird, and the whole thing showed a twisted posture. It looked like it was made up of countless overlapping tentacles. Just a glance can make people feel irritable.
This is not about a mental attack, but an emotion that comes from within the observer.
It's like a picture made of messy lines intertwined together, which can make people feel disgusted, but these words amplify that sense.
Zhang Xiaoman quickly erased those words. He didn't know what would happen if a person watched this kind of thing for a long time. Anyway, he didn't want to try it.
"Since the alien species of the Erotic system all have their own language, what about the demonic ones? What about the biological ones? When I learn their language in the future, it will be easier for me to understand them... From this point of view, This ability brings far more than I imagined."
Zhang Xiaoman concluded.
He threw away the stone, patted the dust on his hands, stood up and prepared to leave the original space.
Before leaving, he suddenly thought that he seemed to have accumulated some lottery times that he had not used in the past few days. Since he had already come here, he might as well use them all together.
Opening the system panel, Zhang Xiaoman quickly clicked four times on the lottery function button. Following the system prompts, waves of spatial distortion began to appear.
"Well, Stardust, Stardust, Stardust are all the same as before. Although they are all of the most common white grade, they are supplies that I am relatively short of."
He glanced over and found that the lottery this time was the same as before, all guaranteed stardust.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly stopped on the last prompt of the system.
"Congratulations, you have obtained a white prop - a gift pack of strengthening stones."
"Huh? Has it been shipped? Is this... a strengthening stone?"
Zhang Xiaoman was slightly surprised. Hadn't he obtained this strengthening stone before?
I got it randomly during the monthly discounts at the gang store. The 10% discount price at that time was 1 piece of Stardust, which meant that the original price of this thing was 10 Stardust each.
"Big gift package! It seems like there are a lot of them in here!"
His eyes were shining, and he felt that he might have made a lot of money this time.
At this time, the last space distortion appeared, and the express delivery of the reinforced stone gift package arrived.
Like the previous two gift packages, these items are packed into a small box. The color of the box is different depending on the level of the item.
Although the strengthening stone can be used to upgrade skills and props, it itself is only of white grade. Therefore, the box in front of Zhang Xiaoman is also white.
I couldn't wait to open this unexpected gift. As the lid was opened, I saw 5 small white stones lying quietly inside the box.
Although they looked a bit inconspicuous, he knew that these were real treasures.
【Reinforcement Stone】
Not upgradeable
Not fortifying
Effect: Randomly strengthen a skill or prop with the "non-upgradeable" label.
——100% success.
"Not bad."
Zhang Xiaoman was muttering in his mouth, but without any pause in his hand movements, he took out these stones one by one. He still remembered the method of using them. It was the same as the skill light ball, just crush it.
"Click~"
As a crisp sound came, the hollow reinforced stone was immediately cracked with cracks, and then wisps of white light shot out from it, covering Zhang Xiaoman's entire body.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
"Reinforcements are being randomly selected, please wait..."
"Strengthening completed! The white skill - Starry Eyes, has been successfully strengthened! Strengthening effect: increased range."
After Zhang Xiaoman listened to the prompt, he immediately opened his attribute panel and called up the attributes of the Starry Eyes skill.
【Starry Eyes】+1
Unable to upgrade
Effect of use: The essence of another dimension can be converted into host points.
Usage consumption: none
Range of use: (1)→5 meters
Cooling time: none
——The will of the inheritor, the light in the darkness, the mark of the dawnbreaker, the badge under the dawn.
"Sure enough, the skill has been strengthened, and the range of absorbing monster corpses has increased from 1 meter to 5 meters..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the skill panel in front of him and sighed at the power of the strengthening stone, but at the same time, he was not too satisfied with the results of this strengthening.
"It has increased the range for me to absorb monster corpses. Although the distance of 5 meters has indeed increased a lot, and it will be more convenient to absorb in the future, but compared to the actual enhancement of combat ability that I want, this feeling is still a bit It’s useless.”
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head, took another stone in his hand, and crushed it with a little force.
"Reinforcements are being randomly selected, please wait..."
"Strengthening completed! The white skill - Starry Eyes, has been successfully strengthened! Strengthening effect: accelerated absorption."
"you again?"
He stared, feeling a little depressed.
I opened the attribute panel of Eye of Stars again and took a look. I found that the enhancement level of this skill had become +2, and there was also a new attribute at the bottom:
Accelerated absorption: When absorbing essence, the speed is increased by 100%.
"This... feels even more useless than the previous attribute. In other words, it used to absorb one point per second, but now it absorbs two points per second?"
Zhang Xiaoman was a little helpless to complain. This ability speeded up his absorption, but for him now, it didn't have much effect.
But there was no other way. Since everything was done, he could only hold his nose and admit it. Now he had better move on to the next enhancement.
He crushed another stone, but the system prompt left him speechless. This time, the skill Eye of Stars was randomly selected.
Zhang Xiaoman covered his forehead, and it was only then that he reacted belatedly. In fact, it can't be blamed on the system for always randomly picking up this skill.
After all, strengthening stones can only strengthen skills or props with "non-upgradeable" labels, and looking at all his abilities, there are only two that meet this condition. The probability is 50%. It is difficult to think of it as random. .
"Hmm...what ability is it this time? Range? Or time?"
Zhang Xiaoman sighed and turned his attention back to his attribute panel.
"Starry Eyes...has added a new attribute...um...named plunder?"
[Plunder]: When absorbing the alien corpse, you can plunder all the essence lost in the previous 1 minute.
"Huh? There seems to be something to this."
The first time Zhang Xiaoman saw this attribute, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
If he understood correctly, with this attribute, after killing a monster, as long as he absorbs it within 1 minute, he can perfectly absorb all its essence and maximize the benefits of points.
This is undoubtedly a very good ability, which is equivalent to increasing the amount of points he absorbs in disguise.
According to Zhang Xiaoman's guess, when the alien species dies, the essence contained in its body will be absorbed by this universe. If the body is severely damaged, this process will be greatly accelerated.
In other words, if he kills a monster and doesn't suck it for a long time, he may not be able to suck it again in the future.
Zhang Xiaoman still remembers that after killing the steelhead fish, he was only delayed for such a short time, but when he went back, he only had a pitiful few points left.
"What the hell is plunder? The universe obviously robbed my points, I just grabbed them back..."
Zhang Xiaoman complained, but he was still very happy in his heart.
Although one minute is not much, it is just a point that can be saved. A little adds up to a lot.
Besides, this attribute should still be able to be strengthened in the future. After strengthening it a few more times, he might be able to absorb it perfectly.
After all, he can never have too many points.
After several times of strengthening, he finally got a satisfactory result. Zhang Xiaoman's mood improved a lot. He then took out the remaining two stones and crushed them all with both hands at the same time.
"Reinforcements are being randomly selected, please wait..."
"Strengthening completed! The ultimate prop, the Pole Star, has been successfully strengthened! Strengthening effect: consumption reduction."
"Reinforcements are being randomly selected, please wait..."
"Strengthening completed! The ultimate prop, the Pole Star, has been successfully strengthened! Strengthening effect: permanent solidification."
Looking at the results in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman was very happy. After strengthening it twice, he finally strengthened it to the item he wanted most.
The first is the reduction in consumption, which should be reflected in a certain skill. Zhang Xiaoman searched for several abilities attached to the Pole Star Ring, and finally found a change in the Eternal Curtain.
"Let me go...the original 20-point consumption has become 0 points? That's it?"
The moment he saw the attribute panel, he instantly felt like he was being cheated.
There are no other changes to the Eternal Curtain skill. It just reduces the 20 points of consumption when activating the skill. Now it has gloriously become a cost-free skill.
But, is he the one who lacks those 20 points of energy now?
Feeling that he had been cheated, Zhang Xiaoman set his sights on the second enhancement.
【Lord of the Stars】
〖ultimate〗
Not upgradeable
Lord of the Stars: Has all the abilities of other star rings.
Currently activated: 46
Master of Mind - Energy damage caused is doubled; immune to all mental attacks.
Lord of Life - All of your recovery effects are doubled and you are immune to poison-like effects.
Lord of Shadows - Nothing can track you; immune to all curse attacks. (Permanently cured)
Lord of Guardians - All damage taken is halved; immune to all law-based attacks. (Permanently cured)
——Endless terminal, eternal master, the starry sky is calling your name, Lord of the stars!
Permanent solidification directly solidified the ability of an eternal star realm, and Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt that he had made a profit.
Of course, the so-called blood profit is only for him. If he gives away all the rings now, then the solidification effect will be meaningless.
However, the one that suits you is the best. For now, this attribute is a big surprise for Zhang Xiaoman.
This time, the new ability he gained came from the effect of the Holy Star Ring, called Lord of Guardians, which not only halved all damage he received, but also made him immune to law-based attacks.
Zhang Xiaoman has not seen what kind of law-type attacks are, but he likes this one that reduces all damage by half.
Now, with the guardian lord combined with the magic shield and the effect of the iron armor spell, he feels that his defense power should have been improved to a very high level.
As for the specific height, it is still unknown because it has not been tested yet.
However, according to his estimation, just 20 points of dark energy can now block a police pistol bullet.
Now if a bullet were to hit him, he felt that he might not be able to break through.
After all, the effect of the Iron Armor Curse is quite good, Zhang Xiaoman knows this.
After all, this is a skill that costs almost the same amount of dark energy as physical enhancement. It also specializes in defense. If you want to block ordinary pistol bullets, you can still do it.
"Yes, this time, it adds another layer of insurance for my next actions in Sheep Village."
He was in a happy mood. After using the five strengthening stones, he finally had one that could greatly help him in the immediate battle.
After improving his strength, Zhang Xiaoman walked out of the original space. It was already dinner time outside, and they should all go to the cafeteria to eat.
When he went to his office, there were several plates of food placed on a small round table there, which were specially delivered by Ye Fei.
Zhang Xiaoman rarely goes to the cafeteria during meals now.
With the development of the Star Alliance, many new people have come here, and everyone is in great awe of him as the Star Lord.
Therefore, once he goes over to eat, the people in the cafeteria will be a little nervous and they will not dare to speak loudly. This is not what he wants to see.
Besides, Zhang Xiaoman is also the leader of an extraordinary organization. He goes to eat in the cafeteria with everyone every day. Although he can be said to be approachable, it is not that true after all.
Therefore, he simply asked Ye Fei and the others to set up a separate stove for him.
"Well, today's meal tastes very good. Was this fish caught in Qixing Lake? It really tastes great. Ye Fei's skills seem to have improved again."
Zhang Xiaoman was in a good mood now, and his food naturally tasted delicious. He cleared all the food on the table in a short while.
"I've finished eating, it's time to get down to business..."
He casually cast a cleaning spell and cleared all the dishes on the table in an instant. Then he stood up, opened his watch and said:
"Star Rank, please send me a notice immediately. Except for those who are performing tasks, all members of the Star Alliance will gather at the Heritage Hall in an hour. I have a task to announce."
PS: Some skills were written a long time ago, and many people may have forgotten them, so I posted their attributes to prevent everyone from understanding them.
