Chapter 4: Redemption
Lin Xi's home is in a small community.
The large iron gate of the complex, which has been closed, is blocked by a tall wall, and the buildings inside have not been damaged, and there are no giants.
After climbing over the wall and entering the empty home, Lin Xi felt a sense of relaxation both physically and mentally, took a shower first, changed his clothes, and casually got some food.
Having eaten and drunk, he began to think.
Why did the monsters in animations, games, and movies come to life?
Where to enter when you gain abilities, what is between fates? And what is that face that calls itself the "Spirit of All Beings"?
On Earth, 100,000 people have obtained the seeds of ability, and these people are called "evolutionaries", what does this name mean?
"I don't understand...... Forget it, I don't want to, I'm just a small person, it's not my turn to worry about it, since I can be lucky in the last days, become one in 100,000, and draw up to five stars of blood, there are only two things I have to do. ”
"First, become strong, and second, become strong!"
"That's right, the Human Evolutionary Program!"
Lin Xi took the phone, and after lighting up the screen, he found that the "pyramid"-shaped icon was still there, and after clicking on the program, some prompts appeared on the interface.
The general content is that the mobile phone has received some changes, it can directly absorb solar energy, use it as energy, and as a carrier of human evolutionary procedures, the mobile phone can be transformed into a special form and collected into the body.
With a slight movement of his mind, the mobile phone in his hand disappeared, and at the wrist, a circle of imprint symbols appeared, which made people smile bitterly that this symbol was actually a mobile phone trademark-
NOKIA。
With consciousness, the phone reappeared.
The human evolutionary program, after entering, has undergone some changes, manifesting four modules:
Character attributes, item space, mercenary information, connection base.
"Mercenaries?"
Lin Xi was a little puzzled, and touched his finger on the module icon, which immediately showed that the mercenaries here referred to some partners from the anime, game, and movie worlds who could assist in combat.
As for how to get mercenaries? In the "Evolution Base", hire with bio energy points.
Click on "Connect Base", the screen jumps, and you enter the "Evolution Base" website, which is now an online exchange mall!
There are several categories that can be exchanged:
Weapons, armor, accessories, props, special.
Lin Xi glanced at it roughly, only to feel dazzled, taking weapons as an example, among them is the Dolan Sword of the League of Legends, and the Frost Sorrow of the World of Warcraft, and there are cloth clothes, leather armor, wooden shields on the armor, as well as gold holy clothes, divine power spirit suits, and red, blue and white star shields.
Among the jewelry, all kinds of necklaces, earrings, rings...... He even saw the Pengley Ring from The Governess, the Transformation Bracelet from Kampai, and the Divine Light Stick from Ultraman!
The most cluttered items are the items, which contain many one-time consumables, however, there are no life potions, mana potions or anything common in the game, only some extremely expensive special recoveries, such as Dragon Ball's fairy beans.
Special, mainly defensive buildings and mechs, such as archery towers, EVAs, and Gundams.
To redeem these, what is needed is "living energy".
Lin Xi took a look, and in the screen, there was the amount of biological energy he currently had: 5200 points.
5000 points is the feedback obtained by drawing a five-star bloodline, and 200 points are obtained by killing giants - usually, 3 to 9 meters of giants, 100 points after killing, 10 to 15 meters, 200 points after killing.
It seems that in the last days, if you want to be strong and exchange for all kinds of extraordinary weapons and equipment, you need to keep killing monsters!
In addition to exchange, there are two functions, one is to hire, hire companions, there are human mercenaries, pet mercenaries.
The other is strengthening, which can strengthen physical fitness, and for every 1000 points of biological energy consumed, you can strengthen strength, flexibility, physique, perception, etc., and each time you strengthen, you can increase the value of about one person.
Lin Xi now, with the points he has, he can strengthen himself five times, and if he strengthens his strength, he can increase the strength of five people!
For each attribute, after 10 enhancements, the number of points required to continue to strengthen will be doubled.
After reading this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
When playing World of Warcraft, who doesn't want to be able to kill all sides one day with Frost's Sorrow in their hands and the Lich King's armor? When watching Ultraman, who doesn't dream that one day they will get a divine light stick, turn into a giant of light, beat up little monsters, and save the world?
"The Evolution Base has these things, who opened this website? Jinni? I'm afraid that it is the god king in mythology, what Jade Emperor, Zeus, and Odin, it is impossible to be so powerful. ”
Sighing secretly, Lin Xi noticed one more thing.
Evolve the base, you can exchange all kinds of equipment, you can hire partners, you can strengthen your body, but you can't exchange bloodlines, talents, martial arts, spells, and abilities!
"Now think about it, it's really lucky to have obtained a five-star and such a comprehensive Ancestor Virus bloodline, relying on this bloodline in the future, how far can I evolve?"
"However, absolute fairness really does not exist, even if there is biological energy compensation."
For example, an evolutionary extracted a one-star ability, got 9,000 points of feedback, and strengthened all of his strength, with the strength of about ten people, which is stronger than Lin Xi's strength.
But the progenitor virus brings more than just power.
There are also speed, flexibility, constitution, resistance, lifespan, regeneration, ...... There is also the gift of gene-changing, DNA evolution! And bioenergy, which I don't know how to use at the moment! The potential of the two, whether it is now or in the future, cannot be compared.
"I don't know if there is anyone who has drawn a nine-star bloodline? Superman...... This should have nine stars, how many times the strength of ordinary people? A hundredfold? A thousand times? ”
With 5,200 points of bioenergy, Lin Xi decided to increase his combat effectiveness through exchange.
Aggrandizement?
This item, first of all, excludes, in terms of physical fitness, if there is a clear data, if you compare it, the current Lin Xi, every attribute, I am afraid that it is eight times that of a normal person, and the combat power of strengthening the physical body is not large.
What Lin Xi wants most is a companion.
Or rather......
Family.
He was so lonely.
Mercenaries can hire human intelligent creatures, but they are humanoid and have high intelligence, and the price is really terrifying.
For example, what he saw-
Name: Artoria Pendragon
Race: Immortal
Lineage: Dragon Maiden
Introduction: Saber
This comes from the legend of the Holy Grail, and the girl Heroic Spirit, who is really King Arthur of Ancient Great Britain in that world, needs as many as 420,000 energy points to hire!
Among the weapons, the exchange for Sword of the Lich King: Frost Sorrow is only 210,000 points.
One Saber = two handfuls of Frost Sorrow.
Mikasa, with high intelligence, is far inferior to Saber, but against giants, there is a special bonus, exchange points: 30,000!
Humanoid mercenaries of low-level intelligence, the cheapest, such as Konoha ordinary shinobi, navy minions, etc., also require 5,000 points of biological energy.
The price of a non-humanoid pet mercenary is slightly cheaper, but not much cheaper.
Lin Xi has 5,200 points, which is to be able to hire a mercenary, but what he needs most now is weapons and armor, which can rely on equipment to fight giant monsters!
If a mercenary dies, he cannot be resurrected.
If you spend all your points and hire one, only to be trampled to death by a giant, you will want to cry without tears.
Among the mercenaries used, the existence of high intelligence, people like Saber and Mikasa, each is unique, if one of the evolutionaries is hired, the others cannot be hired, and if they die, the mall will not be restored.
It is a limited edition of the real number "1"!
In addition, he also noticed that the mercenaries that could be hired were all decent - if they were divided according to the faction of the DND system, they belonged to the good of order, the good of neutrality, and at worst, the good of chaos and the neutral of order, without any evil creatures.
"When I accumulate more energy, I must hire a companion, a woman of high wisdom, a ...... that belongs to me Family! In Lin Xi's heart, he secretly made up his mind.
To start exchanging, the first thing is -
Crusty Armor: 300 points
Oak shield: 300 points
These two pieces of armor are lower-priced pieces of armor in the style of a Diablo game: rudimentary, rugged.
The brown leather armor is rough and thick, the style of the wooden shield is a small round shield, the surface is densely covered with wood fiber texture, and there is a faint fragrance of trees, a handshake behind it, and the edge of the shield is wrapped in a circle of white iron sheets.
Then, Lin Xi exchanged for a weapon.
Giants are creatures, each of which is not low in combat power, far surpassing any zombies, skeletons and other low-level monsters, a good weapon, is naturally a good helper for hunting giants.
There is the ancestor's virus bloodline, and in terms of armor, you can be stingy, but the weapon must be strong enough!
The price of 3000 pips.
Derived from the game "Dark Souls 3".
Dark Sword.
The weapon is a straight sword in the style of a European magic movie, but it is slightly longer than an ordinary straight sword, the sword body is about one meter, and the whole body is black, with a dark dark light, giving people a sense of simplicity and solemnity.
The reason why I chose this, first, the points I have cannot be exchanged for too high-level weapons, not to mention mythical weapons such as Zhu Xian, Heaven and Earth Obedient, Tiger Spirit, etc., even famous weapons such as Yitian, Dragon Slayer, Chixiao, and Kusanagi, which are far from enough.
Second, at the same price, the dark sword is more cost-effective, and it can be easily used, and the straight sword is always easier to use than any katana or stabbing sword.
Third, this sword is a power-shaped weapon, relatively heavy, more than 10 kilograms, with Lin Xi's strength, it is easy to use.
The Dark Sword also comes with a combat skill:
Lunge.
Lower the center of gravity and step into a posture similar to a lunge, during this time the toughness will be improved, and it will not be easy to be knocked down - to put it in layman's terms, it is to do this action, it will be very stable, and when the sword is released next, the force will be great, after all, only if you stand firm, you can cut hard!
If you deal with a small enemy, the sword after the arrow step is enough to slash the opponent away!
Of course, hunting giants, this combat skill can only be an ornament.
Holding the hilt of the dark sword, a sword easily cut off the kitchen knife at home, the blade of the sword did not show a trace of wear, and tested the defensive power of the oak shield and hard leather armor, Lin Xi was very satisfied.
Then, he exchanged it for another weapon for 1500 points:
Bloodthirsty Flesh Hook.
It was a very ferocious thing from the appearance of it, more than nine meters long, with a black, thick iron chain at the top, and a blood-red, curved and hideous hook.
This thing is actually the hook of the hero "butcher" in DOTA.
Of course, there must be a difference between reality and the game, the game is the hook in the person who pulls it to the side, the reality of such a hook, if it hits an ordinary person, the other party's fate must be rotten, and the dead can't die again!
The locking rings of the bloodthirsty flesh hook, each one is the size of a fist, forming a thick and long chain, and at the front is a hook that is enough to catch a shark, of course, dead and heavy, the weight is not something ordinary people can hold, and it takes strong arm strength to throw it out.
Fortunately, the current Lin Xi is enough to use.
There are only 100 points of bio energy left.
Exiting the "Evolution Base" and returning to the main interface of the human evolution program, Lin Xi clicked on the "Item Space" module with his hand, and a ray of light shot out from the screen of his mobile phone and shone on the bloodthirsty flesh hook, putting the murder weapon into it.
Looking at the screen, I saw that the Bloodthirsty Flesh Hook, which had shrunk into an item icon, occupied a grid of space - item space, with a total of nine grids.
The volume of each compartment is one cubic meter, 1·1·1, and real items can also be included in it.
If there are items that are beyond the scope of the space, such as a three-meter gun, can they be put into the space? The answer is yes, but this grid can only hold this one thing, and nothing else can be put in.
"Not to mention anything else, just this function can give you a huge advantage in the last days!"
Shaking his head with some sighs, Lin Xi made up his mind to leave the community tomorrow and go to the street, one is to rely on the newly purchased weapons and equipment to hunt giants to accumulate biological energy, and the other is to go to the supermarket to get some survival materials and store them in the item space.
