Chapter 704 [Dungeon Begins]
Tire nodded, and after a moment, he found the information about Parasite Armor and shared it on the team channel.
Parasite armor, b+ level props, 6,500 points. Parasitizes in the host body and relies on the host's energy supply to improve the host's combat strength. However, the combat power depends on the degree of gene adaptation to the host, and fluctuates greatly. The combat method is to change the cell form according to the host's will, form weapons and armor, and when it is fully active, it can rely on its own somatic cells to repair the damage suffered by the host.
"You've seen this thing?" Tires glanced at Chen Xiaolian: "Even I've never heard of this unpopular thing. If I hadn't used keywords to search, I wouldn't have found its existence. Would it be useful?"
Chen Xiaolian nodded: "At the end of the world, I picked up one of them. Because of the high degree of genetic adaptation, the effect is very good. However, because his body has not been strengthened, his continuous combat ability is very poor. Zhao Yun also said that this thing is very rare. Perhaps because it is too expensive and cannot guarantee 100% effect, so almost no one will exchange it."
"Do you want to have a gamble?" Tire frowned: "The problem is that the probability of Xia Xiaolei's gene adaptation to the parasite armor is very high, right? Otherwise, this thing is unlikely to be so unpopular, and I haven't seen many people use it yet."
"I mainly value its self-healing ability." Chen Xiaolian smiled: "As long as it is not an immediate fatal injury and has sufficient energy intake, it can recover on its own. Xia Xiaolei, what do you think?"
"I...I have no objection." Xia Xiaolei whispered.
"Okay, then that's it." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "Buy."
A ray of light flashed, and a sharp thorn appeared in Xia Xiaolei's hand.
"Don't resist later, don't be afraid, just wait quietly for the parasite to be completed."
As soon as Chen Xiaolian finished speaking, several tentacles appeared at the bottom of the spike, piercing towards Xia Xiaolei's heart.
Although he was a little nervous, the Little Face Commander had already said no need to worry. Xia Xiaolei still gritted his teeth and sat there, watching the spikes pierce into his body.
The sting was only a slight slight moment, but watching the baby's arm's thorn penetrate deep into his body, Xia Xiaolei was still a little creepy. Fortunately, in just a moment, his eyes turned dark and he lost consciousness.
Everyone looked down at Xia Xiaolei, watching him gradually close his eyes, and his expression gradually returned to calm.
"How many points are we left now?" Chen Xiaolian said to the tire: "The 17,000 points I just transferred, 1,000 is used to upgrade Xia Xiaolei's skills. After the parasite armor is discounted, there are 4,875 points, and there are 11,125 points left. How do we use these points?"
"I've thought about it." Tire immediately said: "My skills are mainly melee combat, while Tires are restrained. The self-protection ability of the two of us is enough. If we improve in the short term, there will not be too many effects. On the contrary, what we continue to improve now is the output ability in combat. From the perspective of the team, I think it will be better to use it on Roddy."
"Have you found the right exchange?"
"When you were away, I carefully read the skill description of the Mechanical Heart." Tire nodded slowly: "Different from Xia Xiaolei's skills that only distinguish between simple levels, Roddy's Mechanical Heart is not divided by 'skill level', but has four branch options.
The first is to control the level points. The higher the points, the higher the level of the target items that can be controlled.
The second is to control the speed points. The higher the points, the shorter the time it takes to crack the defense of the target item.
The third is to control the coordination points. The higher the points, the more you can be able to control them. Well, to put it in a line from a long time ago, the higher the synchronization rate, the greater the power it can exert.
Fourth, it is to control the number of continuous points. The higher the number of points, the longer it can use the mechanical heart to control the target object, and the shorter the cooling time after use.
When acquiring the Heart of the Machine, the system will randomly allocate four points, and the sum is roughly within one range. The subsequent upgrade is to redeem the purchase points for skill points. Every 10 points of purchase points corresponds to 1 skill point."
"So complicated?!" Roddy widened his eyes: "I never knew it before."
"After all, you don't have a personal exchange system, so it's normal for you to not see it." Tire smiled: "You have lost your float now, and your personal combat power has dropped a lot. Although you have a certain combat strength by controlling the four sentry mechas, you still have a certain amount of combat strength, but it is no longer as before. The mecha obtained from the Tokyo dungeon has a short time limit and can only be used as a life-saving killer. Now... I hope it can become your conventional weapon."
"Redeem the control of continuous points, right?" Roddy's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't believe that this kind of good thing happened suddenly: "It means... I can fight in the mecha in the future?!"
"I don't really believe that if you invest more than 10,000 points in your body, you can improve to the point you can always control that mecha." Chen Xiaolian shook his head: "What's more, we can't use all the points on you this time. The tire spare tire, Qi Xixiu, they also need some reinforcement..."
"Captain..."
Xia Xiaolei's weak voice sounded from behind, and Chen Xiaolian turned his head in horror and looked at him in disbelief: "You... are you awake?!"
"What? Are you hoping that he can't wake up?" Roddy smiled and said, "Xia Xiaolei, the team leader exchanged this thing for you, and he seems to be uneasy."
"How could it be so fast... faster than the Blue Ocean that time!" Chen Xiaolian explained in a low voice: "Zhao Yun once said that a simple way to judge the degree of genetic adaptation is to look at the time spent during implantation. On that time, it took about fifteen minutes to wake up, and Zhao Yun thought it was a speed she had never seen before. And this time..."
"It only took Xia Xiaolei less than five minutes!" Roddy slapped his thighs hard: "Isn't his adaptability so much? Come on, Xiaolei, show it to us!"
"Show..." Xia Xiaolei stood up blankly and shook his head: "I... don't know how to use it."
"What does it mean? After you were parasitized by parasite armor, the system did not give you a prompt?" Chen Xiaolian frowned: "The Blue Ocean at the end of the world is an ordinary person. He has figured out how to use parasite armor without the system prompt. Why don't you know how to use it?"
"But I really don't know how to use it!" Xia Xiaolei cried: "I just woke up and only received a sentence from the system prompt! [The parasite armor has been implanted, and the gene adaptability is 97.83%. Because unknown foreign gene components were detected, cleaning is being carried out. Cleaning progress: unknown.]"
"Unknown the components of foreign genes?" Chen Xiaolian's heart sank: "How can there be foreign genes in your body?"
"I don't know either!" Xia Xiaolei looked bitter: "I can indeed feel that there are more things in my body, like tentacles, but there is no change in my personal interface, and I can't command the things in my body to do any movement..."
"What a hell!" Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and took out a dagger: "Xiao Lei, come here."
"Hey! Little Face, what are you doing!" Roddy exaggeratedly: "Even if the parasite armor fails to take effect, you can't kill Xia Xiaolei to vent your anger!"
"Shut up!" Chen Xiaolian glared at Roddy, pulled Xia Xiaolei over, and the dagger gently cut a hole in his arm: "Don't be afraid, I'll try your self-healing ability."
Xia Xiaolei shrank into a ball of face. From his squinting eyes, he looked down and saw the blade entering the flesh, but no trace of blood flowed out, just like the dagger inserted into his arms, but a ball of dough.
And as Chen Xiaolian's blade passed by, the wound that had just been cut began to heal immediately!
Wherever the blade goes, the muscles are cut off, but in just one second, the wounds behind it have healed. This self-healing speed is simply terrifying!
"Captain, this..." Xia Xiaolei looked at his arm, stunned.
"I'm very shallow, don't worry." Chen Xiaolian put away his dagger and looked at Xia Xiaolei: "Does it hurt?"
"A little bit..." Xia Xiaolei thought for a while and whispered: "It's a little heavier than a mosquito bite, just the level you can feel."
"I said... do you want to play bigger?" Roddy touched his chin and looked at Xia Xiaolei with a smile: "Do you dare?"
"Hey! Roddy!" Chen Xiaolian glared at Roddy.
"Captain, I...I want to give it a try." Xia Xiaolei bit his lip.
"Hey! I'll just say, although this kid is not strong, he is quite strong." Roddy stood up with his hands rubbing, took out a laser pistol, and aimed at Xia Xiaolei's head.
"Not here!" Xia Xiaolei shrank his head quickly and looked at Roddy in horror: "What if he really dies!"
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Of course I was joking with you!" Roddy laughed and lowered the muzzle a few inches, pointed the trigger at Xia Xiaolei's chest, and held a bottle of healing beast blood in his hand.
The beam easily penetrated Xia Xiaolei's chest, but also, just like the knife wound that Chen Xiaolian had just scratched, there was no blood flowing out, and it healed in a moment.
"No...Immortal body?" Roddy opened her mouth wide, and her chin almost fell off.
"The recovery is very strong, much stronger than the Blue Ocean at that time." Chen Xiaolian nodded with satisfaction.
"But why can't I use other skills..." Xia Xiaolei looked bitter: "Only the recovery ability and the offensive ability, wouldn't I become a sandbag?"
Chen Xiaolian pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The parasite armor has indeed taken effect, but it cannot accept your control. It feels like..."
"It's like a process that takes all the resources after a computer is turned on, and it's taken up by a process and enters a state of fake death. So no matter how the mouse and keyboard move, there is no reaction on the screen!" Roddy's eyes lit up and he interrupted.
"That's right." Chen Xiaolian nodded: "So as long as the process can be terminated, this computer can work again."
"According to Xia Xiaolei's description, this process is called cleaning up the components of foreign genes. But... what is that damn foreign gene!" Roddy thought with scratching his head.
"Gene...Gene..." Chen Xiaolian frowned, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Tokyo copy!"
"I also suspect that it may be this." Tire nodded and agreed: "At that time, the six of us took the Biochemical Clan route together, and you and Roddy took the Mechanical Clan route, and they both received the mission reward. The Mechanical Clan reward was Roddy's mecha, and the Biochemical Clan reward was called the breeding potion, and Xia Xiaolei also injected that thing!"
"Although it cannot be confirmed, it is very likely." Chen Xiaolian sighed: "The foreign genes in Xia Xiaolei's body should be this thing. Parasite armor is also a prop to improve user's ability from the genetic level. Just like a computer cannot install two antivirus software at the same time, these two props are now in Xia Xiaolei's body, and are interfering with each other."
"Then...what should I do?" Xia Xiaolei's face turned red: "Is that parasite armor... useless?"
"It's not that." Chen Xiaolian shook his head slowly: "At least your self-healing ability has been improved to an amazing level. This means that although it cannot be used actively, its passive attributes can still work. The question is how long does it take to clean up the parasite armor from your body? What was the strengthening method you chose at that time?"
"Improving the physique of one level from d- to d..." Xia Xiaolei said, looking at Chen Xiaolian carefully: "Is there a difference...?"
"It's just a guess, but I think it may be more troublesome if you choose to activate the infinite hyperplasia attribute." Chen Xiaolian breathed a little relieved: "At least now, your improved physique can be slowly lowered again, so that these two forces will not be allowed to continue to fight in your body. Don't worry about it now, at least it's hard for you to be killed. Next, continue to redeem it."
"Okay." Xia Xiaolei nodded honestly.
According to Chen Xiaolian's instructions, Xia Xiaolei purchased 8,000 points of the 11,125 points on hand for Roddy to upgrade the mechanical heart skill, and invested all in the control continuous points. After 70% off, Roddy got 1,066 continuous points.
In this way, Roddy's time to control the mecha was increased from 18 seconds to 5 minutes at once, and the cooling time was reduced from 24 hours to 4 hours.
After checking this huge improvement from the personal system, Roddy was so excited that she almost jumped out of the room window.
Although it still cannot be considered a conventional weapon, at least it is no longer the case, and every time you use it, you have to calculate it in seconds.
For the remaining points, Chen Xiaolian asked Xia Xiaolei to buy three protective props called Guardian Lanterns, each with 1,000 points.
The level b guard lantern can be automatically turned on when it is subjected to fatal damage without manual activation. It is immune to all attacks below level b within 15 minutes.
However, the biggest disadvantage of this guardian lantern is that it can only be used at one time. As long as it is activated, no matter whether it has been attacked within 15 minutes, it will be scrapped and cannot be used again.
Chen Xiaolian handed these three guardian lanterns to Xia Xiaolei, Qimuxi and Xiuxiu. Xia Xiaolei and Qimuxi are still newcomers. Although Xiuxiu has strong Fire Phoenix skills, she does not have any defensive skills. Chen Xiaolian is also worried that her mental state is not stable enough, and she doesn't know when she will become the personality of that little luoli.
After this preparation, the 20,000 points I just earned was almost spent, but the strength of the Meteorite Team finally made rapid progress and reached a higher level.
...
The remaining time of the system timer finally came to the end.
Chen Xiaolian and all the members of the Meteorite Team stood in the room and looked at each other.
"Let's go, the copy begins!"
Chapter completed!
