Longmen slums, small buildings with smoke at night.
Valentine rubbed his eyes, shook his head and slowly sat up. The curtains were drawn, and the orange light of the setting sun filtered into the room through the gaps, illuminating the dust dancing in the air extremely clearly. He coughed lightly, stepped on his slippers and turned on the energy-saving lights in the room.
Looking at the bedroom illuminated by light, Valentin sat hunched on the sofa, his right hand slowly stroking the blanket under him, his pupils dilated and his eyes dull, looking as if he was possessed by an evil spirit. His brain was a little dizzy at the moment, and his mind was full of images of him killing people in that teahouse at noon today. One frame after another, interspersed with close-ups and black clips of the corpses, it looked like a scene. Strong film and television clips.
Finally, when his face was pressed hard to the ground, Valentine finally recovered his spirit and raised his hand to cover his cheek with a soft cry. But at this moment, there were no Guards Bureau operators around him, and there was no smile painted with blood on his face. That was already in the past.
Even after understanding this, Valentine still felt his cheeks aching slightly.
"It's so fucking awesome..." Valentine leaned back and collapsed on the sofa again, thinking carefully about what happened after drinking the bottle of potion last night.
——————After madness comes pain————————
At around 10 o'clock last night, Valentin went to Ye Yan's room to be her guinea pig as usual. This time, the potion made by Ye Yan was not as bad as the one at the beginning, and the sales looked much better, like a glass of water with many impurities. Although the taste is still a bit weird, at least Valentine won't feel uncomfortable after drinking it.
Upgraded from Red Scream to Chinese Medicine Soup.
Likewise, he didn't ask Ye Yan about the function of this bottle of potion. Anyway, the cat wouldn't harm him. Even if she wanted to poison herself, she would have to ask whether the flying dragon in her body agreed. After all, he is the medical warlock that the Rhine Life Integration Movement and Rhode Island want, and Valentine feels that there is no poison that can kill him yet.
After taking a few mouthfuls, Valentine sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the witch in front of him, waiting for the side effects to come.
And this wait is half an hour.
Ye Yan has continued her research. The experimental platform is as exciting as a fireworks display on New Year's Eve. Flames and explosions fly together, mushroom clouds rise. Every small explosion is accompanied by a micro earthquake. The witch's hat was almost knocked away several times, which made Valentine tremble with fear.
Even so, the cat was still wagging its tail and continuing her experiment. Various liquids were generated in her hands, then poured into black smoke and mixed together, heated and concentrated, and centrifuged in proportions, and so on.
At this time, some people may wonder how Ye Yan used her black mist to create such a strange potion. Valentine here tells you, don’t ask.
Ask, it’s the Origin Stone skill.
…
Originium technology is the most mysterious subject in the world of Terra and the most important academic branch in medicine. Although Origin Stone technology widely exists in this world, and many people can use processed Origin Stone to release the power in their bodies to affect external materials and change their original properties, but why do people have this strange power? Why only the Origin Stone can draw out this power and a series of other questions are still a mystery.
But at least the Terran healers knew the role of this power and allowed it to flourish throughout Terra's history. Although we don’t understand the principles of Origin Stone technology, we can master this power, which is enough to solve many problems.
In the game, Ye Yan is a warlock who uses his Origin Stone skills to cause magical damage to enemies. His first skill is called Red Eyes, which is a free skill that weakens his own health and increases his attack and attack speed. Although it looks beautiful, due to the debuff of the skill, Ye Yan becomes as fragile as paper, and basically GGs after two hits, so it seems very useless.
Compared with Amiya who was given away for free, I think all the doctors know which one to practice. It must be... Jing Er Loli has become Yu Jie's Ye Yan. Look at those long legs, that short skirt, and that Looking at the expression of the hot chick, with big waves and golden eyes, there is only one word: rush. When he saw Ye Yan Jing Er Li Hui for the first time, Valentin said that he just wanted to lie on the ground and let her step on him with her boots. It was best to tie himself up with the red chain and put some more pressure on him when stepping on her. Piano music, preferably saxophone music, will bring you all the fun of SM.
Hehehehehehehe~
Ahem.
Originally, Valentine thought that Ye Yan in the real world was similar to the one in the game, just an ordinary magician at the Thieving Saint level. But reality slapped him hard, and he also wanted to slap Zhouyou in the face.
Ye Yan is a top-notch special or auxiliary, and using her as a magician would be an understatement!
On his first day as a guinea pig, Valentin came to Ye Yan's room very early, waiting for his upcoming tragic fate. By the way, he visited all kinds of strange and eccentric collections of this cat who came to Longmen from Victoria. s things.
While he was looking at the distinctive collections with great interest, Ye Yan also chatted with him. The main content was about the Origin Stone skills that the two possessed.
Ye Yan summarized his Origin Stone skills in two words: imprisonment and escape.
The chain that has been on her hand represents the "imprisonment" in the Origin Stone skills, and the looming black mist around her represents "escape". It is precisely because of the existence of that chain that Ye Yan has always looked like a little girl. She imprisoned herself at the age of 12, which was also the age before her body developed.
"Because it makes it easier for me to get through those tight spaces."
This is Ye Yan’s explanation.
After that, Valentin made a request to see what Ye Yan looked like now, but was rejected by the other party with a smirk. This is a normal reaction. Although Valentine is now friends with Ye Yan, it is best that only he knows the strength hidden in the darkness. In this world where danger may arise at any time, even staying in a safe city-state cannot eliminate those threats.
After all, you are not the only one who possesses Source Stone skills.
And "escape" is very interesting. When Valentine first came here that day, Ye Yan turned into a black cat because of the black mist. She used her Origin Stone skills to turn into a cat. At the same time, the black mist also has other characteristics, such as the fatigue that Valentine once felt. Wouldn't it be easier to "escape" if the guards were charmed?
At the same time, because of the characteristics of the black mist, Ye Yan can also dissolve it in various potions to enhance the effect and make potions more suitable for "escape". If the potion itself has a refreshing effect, then this bottle of potion becomes It became the antidote to the black fog, the potion that Valentine drank for the first time.
But Source Stone Skills are still Source Stone Skills, and there are still many things in them that the caster himself does not know. The bottle of black mist antidote that causes people to lose their sense of direction and distance is an excellent example.
Even ordinary materials have their own characteristics in the three forms of gas, liquid and solid, not to mention the mysterious products of Originium technology. Ye Yan can only experiment slowly, constantly adjusting the ratio between the black mist and various raw materials to make the potion more perfect.
This spirit of persistent study is worth learning from, and so is Valentine's spirit of not being afraid of difficulties and facing fears... After all, it is a magical potion with various side effects. Who knows what the consequences will be if you drink it.
Although he won't die, he will be embarrassed.
He had already agreed to Ye Yan, and Valentine couldn't shirk it. He could only face it with a smile and continue to be a guinea pig.
At least it's better than when I lived on the Rhine.
That black mist can be used to make various potions that are conducive to "escape", and because the embodiment of "imprisonment" is a chain, potions that are conducive to "imprisonment" cannot exist. You can't use a file to scrape a little bit. Can you use the iron filings?
Valentine made this suggestion, but Ye Yan rejected it because the chain was very hard. As for how hard it is, just imagine how hard Seria is.
Compared with the spell damage caused by the night smoke and black mist, the auxiliary effects of imprisonment and escape are obviously more useful. She can use chains to weave a cage to trap the enemy, and she can also turn into black mist to break through the enemy's defense line silently. If this is used on the battlefield with the Integration Movement, Yeyan will definitely be as good as the Regicide. assassin.
It's a pity that this cat is too lazy and has average physical strength. If it is found to be just running away, it will be very troublesome to break out.
After all, imprisonment and escape are both Originium skills. Excessive use will aggravate Ye Yan's infection, causing a series of negative effects on the body, and the gain outweighs the loss.
The explanation of Valentine's Origin Stone skills is very simple. It is a simple medical spell, not so many bells and whistles, just one strong one. No matter how severe your injury is, I will give you electrotherapy to cure it. If it doesn’t work, just use more electrotherapy and you will recover.
Originally, Valentin wanted to try using his Origin Stone skills to create some healing potions, but when he thought about how to release his spells, this idea disappeared.
How does electric current affect other raw materials? And this electric current does no harm, it only increases blood...
An hour after drinking the potion, Valentine returned to his room. Although the potion has expired, he can't stay in Ye Yan's room forever. And I have to go out to do things the next day, so I need a good night's sleep to replenish my energy.
So when Xing Yihuang got up the next day, he saw this scene: Valentin was sitting on the sofa wearing that clothes, and the table in front of him was filled with various pistol parts and bullets. Valentin ignored her, just closed his eyes and reached into the parts.
Within a minute, the USP Match appeared completely in his hand.
Valentine stayed up all night and disassembled the pistol nearly a hundred times, memorizing the position and feel of every part inside.
This morning, Valentine's state could be said to be very high, as if he was drunk, but he didn't feel dizzy. Instead, he felt his brain was extremely clear. He asked Jiao Zhengyu to buy a "hot" ability. After breakfast, he dragged Xing Yihuang out. He even turned on his mobile phone to play music in a very coquettish way. Surrounded by the beating notes, he jumped into the house. The backyard of the teahouse looks like a cheerful deer.
Then, those things happened. Valentine used his pistol to deal with the target, buy one, get ten free. The Guards were on high alert and threw the lunatic into the interrogation room, only to release him two hours later.
Last night, Ye Yan said that the potion could make people forget their fear for a short time, and it could also strengthen people's mental strength. Now it seems that this potion is really very useful, and it's overly useful... It also lasts for a long time. Valentine didn't sleep all night and was able to get up and kill people the next day.
If he had drank another bottle of Valentine at that time, he felt that he could have turned his gun and staged an exciting chase between police and robbers with the Guards Bureau. If he was lucky, he might have seen Chen use Chixiao and draw the sword to deal with him.
Valentin shook his head vigorously, throwing those chaotic memories behind his head, put on his clothes and went to look for Ye Yan. The clothes covered in blood were probably thrown into the washing machine by Xing Yihuang. The clothes she is wearing now are newly bought. She should have bought them for Valentine in the afternoon. Although it was already evening, the sister was not in the room.
Probably going to buy food. Valentine yawned and knocked on the black door.
————————During the new year? Nian Meng is dead————————
"You said the potion was successful?" Ye Yan tilted her head and looked at the somewhat decadent Valentine in front of her, her orange-red eyes full of confusion. The witch hat on her head tilted, and Valentine raised his hand to help her.
"It was very successful, but it took a long time to take effect." Valentine recalled his feeling when he dismantled the pistol last night: "I didn't sleep all night. I disassembled a handgun until I knew it by heart. In the morning, I listened to electronic music. Dance and lead the girl to kill, I think you can develop a super soldier serum if you continue your research."
"Although I don't know what the super soldier serum you are talking about is, but judging from your description, the bottle of potion last night failed." Ye Yan frowned and rubbed his chin with his small hand: "And it failed. Very thorough..."
"Why? I feel pretty good? Didn't you say you want to eliminate fear? Not only has my fear been eliminated, but I'm so high that even the Guards are not afraid anymore." Valentin didn't know what Ye Yan was thinking.
"Yes, meow, but it also weakens your sanity and makes your judgment on certain things less stable, and you will only choose more direct methods to do it..." Ye Yan turned around and returned to the table. Pour all the reagents on the test tube rack into the waste bucket. It was the improved version she made today based on last night's medicine. But now that the effect of the potion has deviated, there is no need to keep these improved versions.
"For example, you have two choices when leaving this room. One is to find the key to unlock the door, and the other is to kick open the door. Normally you would choose the first option, but after being injected with the medicine, you may not be able to do so. .”
"Human desires have always been suppressed by reason, and this potion weakens reason and strengthens the release of your desires, making you more inclined to solve problems with violence. This is a very dangerous side effect."
Ye Yan turned around and stared at Valentine, holding two test tubes in his hand. "Without the injection of medicine, would you choose the extremely dangerous method of entering through the main entrance to complete your goal?"
"No..." Valentin shook his head, but he quickly reacted and stared at Ye Yan in surprise: "How do you know about this target?"
"It's just like I showed up in front of you from the beginning and didn't hide it. This is all what I guessed, meow." Ye Yan waved her hand, and a magic book with obvious marks of the times appeared in her hand, like It stood like a ball on the tip of her index finger.
"I'm a witch... If you lose anything in the future, you can come to me, and I'll give you a 20% discount."
"...I've already been your guinea pig, why can't you be any cheaper?"
"Can't meow."
"Profiteer."
"Hey~"
Ye Yan raised her hand to knock her head in a cute manner, and at the same time, a new bottle of potion appeared next to Valentine.
"This is the 2.0 version of the black mist antidote. It has weakened the side effects and greatly improved the taste. Give it a try."
"Are you sure?" Valentine pulled out the cork, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it doubtfully.
There is still that strange scent, exactly the same as the bottle of potion from the first day. He poured a little more into his mouth and smacked his lips.
The taste buds did not alarm. Although the taste was not good, it was much better than Red Scream, and it did not have the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine soup. Looking at Ye Yan's big eyes full of expectation, Valentin poured the entire bottle of potion directly into his stomach.
This bottle of potion was perfect. During the one-hour test, Valentin only felt slightly dizzy, and his body functions and thinking ability were not affected in any way. During the experiment, he tried to inhale a few wisps of black mist. In terms of night smoke, it was enough to make someone sleep to death, but everything was still normal for Valentine.
The black mist antidote was successfully produced.
The Origin Stone skills in this world cannot distinguish between friend and foe. As soon as Ye Yan's black mist clears, everyone except her will be hit, so the development of the antidote is still very important to avoid the situation of being surrounded by friendly forces.
The potion experiment on the third day went without incident, and Valentine quickly completed his mission and returned to the room. It was late at night, and Xing Yihuang was still awake and lying on the bed waiting for him to come back as usual... Of course, Valentine's resting place was still the sofa.
Turning off the lights and drawing the curtains, Valentin lay on the sofa and arched his head, closing his eyes to prepare for a beautiful dream. But what came to welcome him was not the sleepiness slowly coming over him, but Jiao Zhengyu who had been silent for a long time.
"Amiya will go to Frost Star in a short time. Are you ready to go and see it?"
Valentin opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that the room in front of him had disappeared, and he was lying in his own spiritual space. Jiao Zhengyu was standing next to him, smiling and waving to Valentine.
"Can't you show up during the day? It's scary to come out at night!" Valentine glared at him and wrapped the blanket around him. Valentin was only wearing pajamas when he was called over by this white cat. He was not willing to stand in front of this guy wearing so little. He was so gay.
As for Xing Yihuang... they are all good friends who have lived together many times, so there is no need to be so shy.
"What are you doing during the day? Do I have the nerve to come out and disturb you? I led the girl to a violent show that just left. I'm afraid if you show up at that time, you will be shot like those unlucky guys."
Jiao Zhengyu glared at Valentine.
"I know all about your complaints about me."
"Who told you to be a profiteer..." Valentin curled his lips and sounded unhappy.
"But why are we going to fight Frost Star so soon? How long has it been since the fall of Chernobog? The plot jumps directly to Chapter 4?"
"Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 are all plots in Longmen. It seems very long but actually happens very quickly, one thing after another. If you wandered around the slums more in the past few days, you might be able to see some backstory. The guys with the oversized backpacks, those are the airborne troops of the Integrated Movement.”
Airborne troops.
When Valentine mentioned this unit, the only memory he had in his mind was the unlucky guy who fell into a pit in Longmen City. However, Valentine is still very kind in the game and pulls him out before he falls in - using the Archangel's overload mode.
"I remember you said before that letting me watch the battle between Amiya and Frost Star would be good for my abilities...but my abilities have really changed recently." Valentin touched his chin and mobilized The source stone skills in the body. He concentrated on staring at Jiao Zhengyu, trying to find the feeling that day again.
It's easy to use some things again after you learn them, especially the Source Stone skills you suddenly realized. Source Stone Skills are mysterious and mysterious. If you realize a new skill, what limits your use of this skill is only the gradual deepening of the infection, not the unfamiliar way of using the skill - in other words, there is no need to use the new skill at all. Practice, find that feeling and just use it. Valentin quickly found that feeling. In his eyes, Jiao Zhengyu also became like those people. Clothes and skin disappeared. Blood vessels, muscles and organs clearly appeared in front of him. The flow of blood, He could clearly see the beating of the heart and the changes in the opponent's muscles when he moved his body.
"Do the Philin people have two pits on their skulls... Oh, yes, they have four ears."
At this time, Jiao Zhengyu didn't look scary at all, but rather funny.
"This is not funny." The muscles on Jiao Zhengyu's face squirmed, and his mandible opened and closed.
Valentin ignored Jiao Zhengyu's complaints, but carefully observed his body. But soon, Valentine felt a stinging sensation in his eyeballs, as if a needle had penetrated directly into his pupils. He screamed and covered his face, closing his eyelids tightly. When the pain dissipated, so did Valentine's clairvoyance.
"The consequences of abusing Origin Stone skills." Jiao Zhengyu looked at the confused Valentine and sighed in a low voice.
"You know your eyes are extremely red now? The bloodshot threads on your eyeballs are as dense as the spider webs in dirty corners."
"However, practice makes perfect. If you use it a few times, the situation will get better, but the premise is that you must prepare enough ore disease inhibitors to prevent those Originium crystals from spreading into your eyeballs."
"There is a price to gain power...such as ore disease, such as the Origin Stone." Jiao Zhengyu raised his hand, and a pure Origin Stone appeared in his palm. It was the Origin Stone that he had eaten that day and purified it. The final product.
It’s just that this piece of Origin Stone is now a bit smaller.
"This Origin Stone can probably be used three or four times. Of course, you can only buy the -75% random surprise. If it is a designated ability, it can be used up to two times. Use it and cherish it."
"Well..." Valentin rubbed his eyes, closed his mouth tightly and spoke in a low voice. "Is there any ability that can make using Source Stone techniques less painful for me?"
"Yes, it is the ore disease inhibitor. Rhode Island's product is very effective and worthy of its price. What about others? I can't make you free from ore disease and at the same time release the Originium skill without using a magic staff. Something out of nothing. It doesn’t exist. The cornerstone of Source Stone skills is Source Stone. Without Source Stone, your spells are not Source Stone skills. What’s the difference between me and me directly joining the battle in this world?”
There are probably tens of millions of strange substances stored in Jiao Zhengyu's hard drive to support him in using a variety of very different spells with completely different origins. But without those "origins", no matter how many spell-casting methods he knows, he still can't use them. Don't show those magical skills.
"Okay...then why did you come to see me today?"
"I just want to remind you that Amiya's practical magic class will start soon. Rhodes Island is selecting manpower to send a reconnaissance team to the ruins of Qie City near Longmen, and their sparring partner Shuangxing is waiting for them. It will take at least half a month. , Amiya and Shuangxing will fight, which is also a good time for you to study."
Froststar, that white rabbit, originally put less pressure on Valentine than Misha's version of Bone Broken. Of course, the level of the operator accounted for a large part of the reason.
After all, when he broke the bones, he didn't have Silver Ash, and the capable angel didn't have Jing Er. And when it reaches 4-10, Overload has one life, True Silver has one life, and Frost Star is gone.
Thumbs up for Phantom God.
"So I still have two weeks to rest?"
Valentine thought this was bad news.
"That's right, it's time to do something serious after joining Rhode Island. Complete the few tasks given to you by Longmen. Maybe you can meet your sister who is fighting with Broken Bones in the slums."
"Fine."
This time, Valentine's public vacation balance is really gone.
