"These violent delights have violent ends. (These violent delights have violent ends)
"And in their triumph die, like fire and powder."
Looking at the corpses of the first-order monsters on the ground and the dissipating black mist, Lu Pingan still had time to recite a small poem.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit him, and he staggered a little and almost fell to the ground.
But he just showed a happy expression.
"Finally got it..."
[The host's pollution carrying capacity has reached the limit and micro-mutations are occurring. Please maintain a stable state...]
The Life Bank system responded quickly.
As for Lu Ping'an, he vaguely felt something crawling, and someone seemed to be whispering in his ears. What he saw in his eyes was full of fog and ghosts.
In just a trance, this beautiful forest turned into a ghost filled with demons, or in other words, this is its true appearance...
"safe trip!!"
The exclamation of his companion woke him up.
He raised his head suddenly, red light flashing in his eyes, causing Xue En to retreat suddenly and assume a fighting posture.
In the secret realm, the secret keeper has seen too many companions who are out of control and crazy.
But at this moment of murderous intent, Xue Endu, who had at least level 2 combat power, felt his vest go cold. He felt the terror of death, as if some giant beast was pressing against his cheek, calling his name.
"...What kind of monster is this? It's only level 0?! Has the ability to kill me?"
Xue En, who has keen intuition, does not think it was an illusion just now.
Although he had long felt that the seemingly normal Lu Ping'an was very abnormal, but at this moment, he realized how dangerous the person in front of him was.
"...Damn it, you can't think like that!"
Fortunately, Lu Pingan was not affected by his powers. The next moment, the boy returned to normal, showing a familiar smile.
"I'm a little tired... let's take a rest."
After confirming again and again, Xue En felt relieved when he saw that everything was normal on Lu Ping'an.
But at this moment, if he no longer regarded the young man in front of him as a new junior brother, the terrible "pollution" leaked in that moment would be enough to completely drown everything.
"Okay, you take a rest, how about you consider going back?"
Xue En asked tentatively.
Lu Pingan smiled and nodded, and then walked to the camp to rest... He needed to sort out what he had just gained.
[...The host is stimulated by excessive pollution, and the body and mind undergo slight mutations...]
[...Physical strength increases slightly, reflexes increase slightly, and spirituality increases significantly. 】
[Congratulations to the host, the soul has resisted mental pollution, and the mental power has broken through the black iron lower level! 】
[Current status: Physique (mortal), reflexes (mortal), spirit (Black Iron lower level)]
Lu Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his finally exceptional mental attributes.
"...Thank you Chris, I didn't expect your ancient method to be really useful."
"This was done in the era when there was no professional system, or in a world that was not connected to the gods. This is actually a natural mutation without the regulation of the gods, but don't rely too much on it..."
This is the method that Chris recommended to Lu Ping'an, which is to accumulate a large amount of "pollution" on the body without digesting it, waiting for natural mutations to occur.
For any professional, this would be an act close to suicide, but in Chris' view, this is just the most normal way of practice.
"There are N stages of mental pollution, starting from mental over-excitement and ending with visual and auditory hallucinations. Are you able to complete mental transformation so quickly? You have good qualifications."
"Compared with you?"
"That's scumbag."
As the contacts increased, Lu Ping'an noticed that Chris was actually quite good at using Internet slang, but she just didn't want to say it usually.
How could a TV drama addict who has been lurking in human society for many years speak only a convoluted Secondary II language?
"Can I still play like this? Use excessive pollution to cause mutation and get some basic attributes for free."
"It's possible, but it's not worth it. The first awakening is often the ability of spiritual vision, which will indirectly cause mental mutation and greatly increase mental power. If the body starts to mutate, there is a real danger of losing control."
"forget about it."
Lu Ping'an looked at the system panel, and sure enough, there was another skill.
[General skill: Spiritual Vision lv1, 1/100]
Once clicked, the prompts become more subtle.
[Let you see the truth of the world clearly. Perhaps you would rather not have this ability. 】
In the previous communication with Kris-chan, when she told her this method of improvement that was simply murderous, Lu Pingan refused.
Even though he is just a newcomer, he has been taught repeatedly that secret keepers must fight against pollution at all times, not only to hunt for pollution, but more importantly, to fight against the ever-increasing pollution in themselves.
The most tragic way to die is an out-of-control mutation caused by excessive pollution and out-of-control abilities.
That would completely turn a living person into a monster or monster, just like Akris who fell to the ground in front of him.
"Actively allowing excessive pollution without digesting it, I think you want me to die."
"...Ignorant fool, you have no idea what you took from me. I want to completely pollute you with just this little mud? Ten times or a hundred times won't be enough. Do you know? A professional is the best What’s important?”
"Well, honesty and trustworthiness? The society where I keep secretaries seems to value this very much?"
Lu Pingan was almost stunned when he thought about the importance that professionals attached to credit and contracts. Lu Ping'an gave an answer.
"It's a balance. All pollution must be in balance and not inclined to any one side in order to last."
Now, Lu Ping'an completely understood.
An individual's natural ability is "pollution", and the professional system is also "pollution". Only by checking and balancing each other can neither party completely lose control.
Novices come here to kill monsters, and naturally the monster's pollution is transferred to them.
Anyone who survives in the secret realm will be polluted. After a novice obtains a certain amount of pollution, he will leave the secret realm before the light turns red.
Then through exercise and practice outside, the pollution can be digested into the basic abilities of the professional system.
And because the pollution here has been purified by the Daughter of the Forest, it has her unique "divine" presence.
Even primary pollution can be easily transformed into the "occupational pollution" required for women's professions.
Therefore, occupations such as gardeners not only value the magic plants here, but also value the improvement of their own professional system through practicing here.
"Innate ability must be balanced against the professional system in order to be considered stable, but your innate ability is the golden rule for starting at level 7, and you are only a level 0 professional. Do you think this is the most important 'balance' for normal people, starting from Did it exist from the beginning?!”
This is the reason why Big Cat has always said that bracelets are meaningless for road safety.
He has been unbalanced from the beginning, and has been actively out of balance for a long time. Why should he consider overload? Contamination mutation?
"No, then why haven't I mutated yet?!"
"...It's too troublesome to explain. There are many things that you can't understand now, and the principles cannot be carried by words. But other powers are sources of out-of-control pollution, disordered chaos, and they lead to mutations. Only when something happens does it need to be checked, balanced and filtered by the profession that represents 'order'.
It could be heard that Chris was trying to suppress her anger. Her treasure was taken away by a child who did not understand its preciousness.
Taking the "rules of order" that you are only one step away from the true god, ask why you are not as good as the "pseudo-professional rules (professional system)" of the gods, why you haven't lost control yet... Your own superpower is the top "Professional rules", no matter how you change them, they can't be changed!
"...It's almost like the son of the true god is envious of the clay doll idols of the false god believers, and then says to his parents, 'The bloodline, divine power, and kingdom you gave me are not as good-looking and useful as the clay dolls.'"
If she hadn't known that Lu Pingan really didn't understand, she would have thought it was a deliberate humiliation.
"Do you think your superpower is disordered? It comes from the rules of a quasi-god and is the principle of the world. It is more orderly and controllable than any profession! If pollution wants to completely mutate you, it must first be completely Mutate the Life Bank and the Secret Realm, mutate me, and most importantly, twist your 'reason', do you think this is possible?! Is it possible for you to come into contact with that level of evil god now?"
"Isn't it possible that sewage from small ditches can pollute the ocean...I understand, thank you."
In principle, Lu Ping'an didn't bother to think about it. It probably made sense and could be used.
The ancient method activated Lu Ping'an's spiritual vision and greatly improved his spiritual attributes, which also meant that the door to a true professional was completely open for him.

The question arises, when two roads open at the same time, which road should be taken first.
