Chapter 77 Ability
Inside the restaurant, soothing music played.
The warm yellow light resembled that of dusk.
Ron drank another glass of wine and picked up a piece of smoked meat, putting it in his mouth.
"Units of measurement? There are no such things, only numbers."
He continued, "Moreover, according to the federal classification method, a normal adult male's attribute values are around 3."
The requirement for advancement to the first tier is that both Strength and Agility reach 10 points.
really.
Xu Yang understood immediately.
The attribute system in the guide is clearly consistent with the division of the Federation.
And from this, it is not difficult to draw a conclusion.
After transmigrating, I obtained a guide system whose origin is the present world, and it has some connection with the Federation.
But more specific details are unknown.
Xu Yang sighed and continued, "You just said that only Strength and Agility need to reach 10, and there are no other attribute requirements?"
"There are no requirements; those are things for later stages. You don't need to think about that now. Just focus on improving your strength and agility."
Ron, slightly drunk, continued, "Also, why am I the only one talking? What about you? I feel like you've changed a lot since you came back."
"Me? Maybe I've changed a bit."
Xu Yang smiled and, while drinking, vividly recounted his previous experiences.
Of course, the traces of the guide have been concealed.
Ron listened, a hint of envy creeping into his heart.
"Your experiences... seem so much more interesting than mine."
He said somewhat sullenly, "The task I did was to walk the same route every day, look for traces, go home, and repeat it the next day."
Things were finally starting to look up, and then it turned out like this.
Ron raised his severed arm with a self-deprecating laugh and sighed, "Well, maybe next time you can take me with you, and we can work together."
He genuinely felt that everything Xu Yang had experienced was far more exciting and interesting than what he had gone through.
Just the kind of life he wanted.
Xu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Then you must be incredibly lucky. So far, none of my teammates who have done missions with me have survived."
……
3:30 AM
Two men were walking together down the street.
One was unusually sober, the other was dead drunk.
Xu Yang was supporting Ron with one hand.
They were both drinking, and Xu Yang drank one and a half bottles without showing any signs of drunkenness.
Ron had only drunk half a bottle, but he figured he'd get alcohol poisoning if he drank any more.
People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized...
Of course, biochemical plugins are also a type of constitution.
The biggest reason Xu Yang can drink strong liquor like it's juice is his "iron stomach".
In fact, when he decided to order two bottles of strong liquor, he did so with the intention of testing his iron stomach.
The results were also satisfactory.
Once alcohol enters the stomach, it is quickly broken down into biochemical energy.
The Iron Stomach plugin restructures the entire digestive system.
Xu Yang can even actively control his stomach and decide whether to convert food into biochemical energy.
And it's not just about food.
An iron stomach can also digest various non-food substances to replenish energy.
He had secretly bent a metal spoon and put it in his mouth while eating.
Metals are also broken down into biochemical energy.
This means that replenishing energy has become a cost-free and very convenient thing; picking up some broken metal pieces by the roadside is enough to support the use of the camera plugin.
The plugin rewarded by the guide seems to be stronger than many charging plugins on the market.
Xu Yang was in a good mood and helped Ron walk towards a hotel.
……
In the reconstruction area, the sky was as black as ink.
A dark figure leaped down from the wall and landed gracefully.
The little black cat licked its paws; it smelled a fragrance coming from deep within the alley.
It walked away slowly with cat-like steps.
Soon, an open bag of food came into view.
Plump, deep-fried worms lay in plastic bags, emitting a tantalizing aroma.
The little black cat ran over, its paws just barely clearing the plastic bag.
Suddenly, it lost its balance.
In an instant, the cat was suspended in the air, lifted high by a large hand.
My gaze was forced to turn backward.
A pair of dark gold-rimmed pupils stared at it.
"Meow--"
The little black cat's ruffled fur stopped abruptly, its neck tilted to the side, and its whole body went limp.
Xu Yang put it back on the ground and looked down at the bracelet on his wrist.
One second, two seconds... twenty seconds.
The little black cat opened its eyes and suddenly woke up with a start.
It nervously looked around, only to find a bag of fried insects in front of it. The tall, imposing figure had vanished, as if it had never existed.
After a while, the little black cat carefully ate the food in front of it.
Outside the alley, on the street.
The shops on both sides of the street were closed, and Xu Yang walked lightly.
After testing Iron Stomach's abilities, he impulsively tested God-Capturing's abilities as well.
In fact, the little black cat was not the first victim; the first victim was a cockroach.
Xu Yang waited for a full ten minutes, but the other person was still lying on the ground.
If he hadn't opened the guide, he would have thought the cockroach was dead.
However, since the other person was still not awake, Xu Yang couldn't keep waiting.
He could only kick the cockroach again before moving on to another test subject.
Thanks to the cleanliness of the reconstruction area, Xu Yang quickly found a second volunteer.
It was a mouse that took about five minutes to wake up, but after being tested again, it only took about three minutes to wake up again.
Finally, the little black cat appeared, and the time was shortened to twenty seconds.
Xu Yang stroked his chin, having become familiar with this ability.
The duration of the "Immortal Capture" effect decreases as the subject's strength increases; when facing an opponent of equal strength, the duration is estimated to be within one to two seconds.
Furthermore, when used again later, the time will be significantly reduced due to the enemy's vigilance.
Therefore, this plugin is suitable for one-hit kills.
……
The next day, early morning.
The isolation zone, the wasteland.
On the gray-brown earth, humanoid, gray-green corpses lay scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with the stench of decay.
The man dressed in silver was standing among the corpses; it was Li Xingyuan.
At this moment, a tall green tower stands majestically in front of him.
Rumbling--
The tower emitted a loud bang.
As the first stone covered in mycelium fell to the ground, the entire tower collapsed completely.
The airflow stirred up a cloud of smoke and dust.
Two figures emerged from the ruins.
A person wearing the same silver uniform as Li Xingyuan, with white hair.
The other one wore a fitted trench coat and had an innate coldness in his eyes.
Huang Xi.
She looked at Li Xingyuan and shook her head slightly: "It ran away; there's only one fungal node inside."
"This shouldn't be happening," Li Xingyuan said in a deep voice. "Logically, it should be guarding this fungal tower. How come it's like it knew we were coming in advance?"
"There's no use thinking about this now, let's keep pursuing it," the white-haired woman said, frowning.
Li Xingyuan shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. The number of these fungal beasts is wrong, too few. More are running towards the outside of the isolation zone. We can't ignore it."
"But we don't have enough manpower."
"Let's leave Ita out for now. We can't let those bastards get into the safe zone."
"This is clearly a trap. By the time we finish clearing out those fungal beasts, Red Fall will be over, and Ita will have already run into those alternate dimensions in the isolation zone. We might as well take it out first, and then deal with the fungal beasts later."
"No, the fungal beasts would pose too great a threat if they escaped."
"So you're going to let Ita escape?"
"I--"
"Stop," Huang Xi interrupted them.
She rubbed her temples: "Stop arguing, I have a solution."
