Chapter 351 The final form of the black pupa, the predicted time limit (asking for monthly tickets)

While Gu Wenyu's funeral was going on, at 5 pm Japan time, inside an abandoned building in Osaka, a powerful rock song was playing from a speaker placed in the corner.

Hei Pu had nothing to do and nowhere to go, so he found a bed and a pillow, borrowed a speaker from the grocery store with a restraint belt, and then lived in this abandoned building.

The bed is a clean bed;

Pillows, clean pillows too.

But the surrounding environment is a bit unsightly.

The broken window couldn't block the rain. The building was filled with old desks and broken chairs. The floor was covered with wet waste paper, and you could even see bugs crawling around.

However, the black pupa has no requirements for its living environment.

Firstly, it was because he had been in the depressing environment of the Salvation Society for several months. In comparison, other places, as long as he could breathe fresh air, were like a paradise on earth.

The second reason is that when he sleeps, he wraps himself up like a pupa.

To him, the restraints were just a large sleeping bag. So, he only needed to keep the "restraint sleeping bag" clean and tidy. No matter how dirty and messy the outside world was, it had nothing to do with him anyway.

At this moment, Hei Pupa was lying on the bed with one arm behind his head in a lazy posture, like an old man lying on a reclining chair on the Hawaiian beach to bask in the sun.

He used his restraints to turn off the speakers, stared up at the ceiling in a daze, and quietly figured out how to allocate the large number of body points in the inventory.

In the previous main missions and machine graduation rewards, Black Pupa received an unprecedentedly generous reward.

It's a long story, they are: "8 skill points, 8 attribute points, 6 split points", plus he already had 1 skill point on hand, so the total inventory at this time is "9 skill points, 8 attribute points, 6 split points".

"With so many skill points, it should be enough to fully develop the skill tree, right?"

Thinking this, Hei Pupa called up the gear option bar in the lower right corner of his field of vision and found the character skill tree panel from the complicated options.

Three skill branches popped out and appeared densely packed in his sight.

[Branch 1 (Hidden): Restraint Sense (Learned) → Restraint Mantra (Learned) → Restraint Color Change (Learned) → Restraint Trap (Learned) → Restraint Avatar (Learned) → Avatar Enhancement (Learned) → Shapeshift (Learned) (Branch End)]

[Branch 2 (Frenzy): Restraint Band Extension (Learned) → Restraint Band Blade (Learned) → Restraint Band Rage (Learned) → Restraint Band Chainsaw (Requires 2 skill points) → ...]

[Branch Three (Li): Restraint Detection (already learned) → Restraint Suppression (already learned) → Power Steal (already learned) → Capacity Increase (already learned) → Power Overload (requires 2 skill points)...]

Without hesitation, Hei Pupa chose to allocate his skill points to "Branch Li".

He raised his restrained finger and pressed the "Power Overload" icon for a long time. After a moment, the icon lit up, glowing a hellish black and red color.

Immediately afterwards, a prompt box popped up in front of him.

[You have spent 2 skill points to successfully acquire the skill "Power Overload" from the "Violent" branch (strengthen the power of a stolen power).]

[Hint: The next skill on the "Li" branch has been unlocked - "Power Deprivation": After you steal an opponent's power, if you choose to use this skill, the stolen opponent will be unable to use the power until you release the stolen power. (Requires 1 skill point to unlock)]

[Currently, Unit 1 has 7 skill points remaining. Do you want to learn this skill immediately?]

"It's useless." Black Pupa thought, "Those whose powers I stole have basically had their powers blocked by me using 'restraint bands'."

He thought again, "But... maybe some monsters can rely on brute force to break free from my restraints and regain the opportunity to release their superpowers. Then, for these monsters, I can use 'Superpower Deprivation' to forcibly seal them."

He raised his finger and pressed the icon for a long time. The "power deprivation" icon quickly turned from dark to bright, bursting into a dazzling red and black color.

[1 skill point has been spent to acquire the skill "Power Deprivation" from the "Li" branch. (Currently, Unit 1 has 6 skill points remaining.)]

[Hint: The next skill on the "Li" branch has been unlocked - "Second Capacity Increase": Allows your binding belt to store three different, plundered abilities at the same time, and the maximum storage time is increased to 72 hours (requires 1 skill point to unlock)]

This is an obvious branch transition skill, and there is no need to consider its length, pros and cons.

Black Pupa had no expression on his face. He simply raised his finger and pressed it down.

[1 skill point has been spent to acquire the skill "Capacity Secondary Boost" on the "Li" branch. (Currently, Unit 1 has 5 skill points remaining.)]

[Hint: The final branch skill of the "Li" branch - "Power Fusion" has been unlocked.]

[Power Fusion: Fuse two different, plundered powers to create a more powerful one, provided the two powers have a high degree of compatibility (requires 2 skill points to unlock).]

"Is this true? A fusion of superpowers?" Hei Pu was stunned. "Then what will happen if Dad's superpowers are fused with Big Brother's? Now they'll be a loving family."

[I have spent 2 skill points to acquire the final skill of the "Li" branch - "Ability Fusion". (Currently, Unit 1 has 3 skill points remaining)]

【Hint: The branch "Li" has reached the end of the branch. 】

"That leaves only one last branch."

The black pupa raised his eyes, looked at the "restraint belt chainsaw" on the branch "madness", raised his hand and pressed it for a long time.

[You have spent 2 skill points to acquire the skill "Band Chainsaw" from the "Frenzy" branch. (This strengthens your band's blades for a short period of time, causing them to spin around the band at high speed like a chainsaw blade.)]

[Hint: The current Unit 1 has only one skill point left.]

[Hint: The final skill of the "Crazy" branch - "Second Extension of the Restraint Belt" has been unlocked.]

[Secondary Extension of the Restraint Belt: Increases the maximum extension distance of your restraint belt from 15 meters to 30 meters. (Requires 1 skill point)]

"Is this the end? It feels so empty. So much sweat and hard work. Brother and sister, why don't you learn from me..."

The black pupa lowered his head and sighed, then raised his finger and pressed it on the last skill.

Finally, an unprecedented strong light burst out in front of his eyes, almost covering his entire pupil.

[Final Tip: You have successfully unlocked all the skill trees for Unit 1, "Black Pupa."]

"Graduated." Hei Pupa raised his hand to support his forehead, tilted his head and sighed, "It's really not easy. I finally have a body that has been trained to the maximum level. Oh no... there are still attribute values ​​to be added." Thinking of this, he opened the attribute panel.

[Character Attributes——Strength: A-level; Speed: S-level; Spirit: C+ level

"Speaking of which, is there a cap on the machine's attributes? Let me take a look."

Black Pupa muttered to himself and first invested 3 attribute points in the speed column.

[Currently remaining attribute points: 5.]

[Tip: You have invested a total of 3 attribute points. The speed attribute has changed as follows: S-level → S+ level → S++ level → SS level (the attribute has reached its upper limit and cannot be further improved).]

"So it seems that even with the inhibitors on me, SS level is indeed the upper limit."

As he spoke, Black Pupa scratched his chin. "The upper limit of the attributes of the natural disaster level is S++ level. The SS level is already the attribute of the mythical level anecdote holder. In fact, it is already very strong."

He stretched out his right hand and tried to free himself from the restraints.

Almost instantly, the restraints shot out from his cuffs at a speed faster than sound, instantly rushed to the end of the abandoned building, and grabbed the gecko on the wall.

"The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed." Hei Pupa shrugged.

He shook the restraints and threw the gecko out of the window, then went to a faucet to clean the restraints and put them back into his sleeve.

Black Pupa looked up at the attribute panel and continued to add points.

There is nothing much to say. This time, the remaining 5 attribute points were invested in the strength column at once.

[Hint: You have invested a total of 5 attribute points. The Strength attribute has changed as follows: A-level → A+-level → A++-level → S-level → S+-level → S++-level (one more attribute point is needed to reach the upper limit of this attribute).]

[Current Character Attributes: Strength: S++; Speed: SS (capped); Spirit: C+]

"Except for the horrible mental attributes, rounding up, the other attributes are enough to crush a Calamity-level esper! Ghost Bell is no better than that."

Hei Pupa put his hands on his hips and hummed twice, starting to show off.

"Hmm... that's about it. I've completed all the main missions for Unit-1, and I've received my graduation reward. If I want to continue improving Unit-1's attributes, I'll have to rely on the 'Character-Specific Development System,'" he thought. "But Unit-1's development system relies on making friends with powerful individuals. My current situation is so special, how can I just make friends casually? No chance."

Black Pupa tilted his head, clearing his chaotic thoughts. "Let's focus on the other machines. We'll have the fourth machine ready by tomorrow."

He took off his mask, lay on the clean bed, wrapped himself like a giant cocoon with restraints, and closed his eyes.

At this time, Yagubaru and Xizel were lying on the bed reading comics, while Xia Pingzhou and the eldest lady went to Tokyo International Airport and boarded a plane to Lijing, China.

The flight takes about two hours.

Amid the sound of the drizzling rain, Gu Wenyu's consciousness gradually sank into sleep.

I don’t know how long it took, but a cold voice came from the darkness.

"Restricted psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', the instructor is visiting, please get ready quickly." The sudden broadcast voice woke Ji Minghuan from his daze.

When he opened his eyes, the overlapping metal doors had already opened. Turning his head, he saw Ke Ojiena, wearing a white coat and a bun on her head, walking towards him.

She opened her mouth and yawned, then pulled a chair to the table and sat down.

"What's up?"

Ji Minghuan sat up from the bed and rubbed his eyes.

"The mentor is back," Ke Ojiena said. "Your childhood sweethearts are back too. Do you want to see them?"

Ji Minghuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Your use of 'they' is too confusing. Can you please not confuse these two people?"

"So what do you want?"

"I want to see Kong Youling, not my mentor." Ji Minghuan said, "Also, where has Kong Youling been these past few days?"

"Didn't I tell you? The instructor is helping her find her way back to speaking," Ke Ojiena said. "She can now speak normally and hear what you're saying."

"Really?" Ji Minghuan was stunned.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you'll know when you meet her later." Ke Ojiena said lazily, "Have fun, little brat."

"Yeah, happy."

"As for the mentor, there's nothing you can do even if you don't want to see him." Ke Ojiena yawned. "He's been holding back a lot lately and has no one to talk to. You're his confidant."

"All my close friends are here... Isn't it disgusting?" Ji Minghuan lowered his head and sighed softly.

"By the way, the prophet sent us a letter saying he'll be visiting in the next few days," Keojiena said. "Be prepared. No one knows what will happen then... The prophet, like you, is someone that even the Salvation Society cannot understand."

"That's great. Tell him that I welcome him to come and play with me."

"In fact, we have always suspected that there is a possibility."

"What's possible?"

"The prophet is restricted level 1001."
