On a dark and windy Ghost Street, Wu Xiangwang sat with more than twenty adventurers eating mushrooms.
Although the mushroom spores would make them excited and poisoned, with Wu Xingyun's detoxifying and blood-replenishing Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, the inedible huge and strange poisonous mushrooms became an enlarged version of the Yunnan specialty mushrooms.
First get poisoned, then detoxify and eat a few mouthfuls of mushrooms. Don't panic if you see the little guy, as long as you don't die from the food and get a little excited, it's okay!
Moreover, Wu Xiangwang discovered an unexpected benefit of eating giant mushrooms: adventurers who were in an excited and dizzy state were basically extremely bold or confused, and could not even muster any fear.
As a result, the twenty or so people ate around the big mushroom all night, and the only terrifying creature that was manifested by fear was Tomie, who was killing more and more people. Among the twenty or so adventurers, there was also one person with lightning ability and two people with fire ability, and they took care of Pia.
With so many people around, even if one person suddenly thought of a powerful and scary ghost or monster, it would be a one-on-one fight against a group of people, and would not pose any threat at all.
As a result, this strange, large, poisonous mushroom, with its inherent "excitement" buff, has become popular. Even if you can't finish it all in one night, you can dry the mushroom slices and carry them with you, eating one when necessary to boost your courage and excitement.
But now, it's better to eat more poisonous mushrooms to increase the supernatural energy in the body. After eating for more than an hour, and each person ate almost five kilograms of mushrooms on average, and felt like vomiting, four or five of the more than 20 adventurers started to upgrade with red faces, either meditating or lying on the ground.
This proved that the idea of "imagining a giant, edible plant and then consuming it to obtain a relatively pure energy upgrade" was quite feasible. Even though the people who were upgrading were all those whose superpowers had reached the critical point of upgrading, it didn't stop their enthusiasm for a quick upgrade.
Wu Xiangwang and Lin Yuan watched helplessly as the twenty or so people ate the poisonous mushrooms almost non-stop all night. By the end, they were only able to chew mechanically, and it seemed as if they had developed an immunity to the poison.
Do not forget each other: "...what kind of persistence is this."
Then Wu Xiangwang was infected by these people's obsession with power. He turned around and looked at the increasing number of Tomies and decided to eat someone to level up!
He now has seven fierce beast brothers on one card, and once they are included in the same golden photo, the seven fierce beasts in the photo are connected together. The energy to upgrade needs to be... multiplied by seven.
At the beginning, the energy value displayed on the golden photo was 678/5000.
When he awakens the Wandering Spider, the energy value becomes 711/6000.
At that time, he knew that he would not need to fuse again every time he awakened a powerful creature, but if he wanted to upgrade, he had to upgrade the existing fused powerful creatures together.
Killing a level 1 monster costs 1 energy point, a level 2 monster costs 2 energy points, a level 3 monster costs 5 energy points, and a level 4 monster costs 10 energy points.
When Wu Xiangwang saw the 711/6000 on the golden photo, he no longer had much hope for a quick upgrade. He was still short of more than 5,000 energy points. Even to kill a level 4 monster, he would need to kill 500 of them. Not to mention that level 4 monsters were not so easy to encounter or kill.
But now he has awakened Xiaoqiang, who he can eat at will, and Tomie, who he can never finish eating as long as he is careful.
Even now, considering the seven fierce creatures in Xiaoqiang's golden photo, the energy required to upgrade has become [Primary: 1648/7000]. Wu Xiangwang still feels that the opportunity for his fierce creatures to advance to the intermediate level has come!
He himself was not sure what level of psychic he was, because his ability could not be calculated simply by the amount of energy in his body.
When he doesn't activate his abilities, he is no different from an ordinary person, with an ability value of only a pitiful 1.
But when he awakened, the energy value in his body changed. Before the fusion, the upper limit could be seen, but after the fusion of the photo of the beast that killed Jax, the energy value in his body could not be seen clearly, and it kept fluctuating without any pattern.
This was the result of Wang Xiao observing him out of boredom. Wang Xiao also specifically calculated what level he was at now.
Finally, Wang Xiao speculated that his level was around level 5 or 6 based on his ability to easily kill a level 4 monster. But this was just Wang Xiao's speculation.
Wu Xiangwang knew that although his current strength might only be level five or six, if it really came to a fight of life and death, with the innate skills of the beasts, as long as he was not killed in one blow, he could even fight a protracted battle with a level seven or even level eight advanced monster and fight to the end.
Therefore, for Wu Xiangwang, the level of supernatural powers is not the most important thing. What is important is the innate abilities of the fierce creatures he can transform into.
Now the ability levels of his seven beasts are all at the elementary level, and once they are upgraded to the intermediate level, his abilities will definitely be improved qualitatively.
Wu Xiangwang became happier and happier as he thought about it. Adding to that the excitement from eating the mushrooms, he felt dizzy and excited. He rubbed his hands and walked towards the dozens of Tomie girls who had more than they could eat like a little bully.
Very good, this city is the city where he will be promoted from primary to intermediate level!
It was already past 5:00 in the morning, almost 6:00, and the darkness that enveloped the city of fear began to gradually dissipate.
When Wu Xiangwang picked out one of the most lively and energetic young ladies from Tomie and prepared to beat her to death first and then eat her, before he could throw his fist, the young ladies from Tomie who were hugging each other disappeared one by one.
Don’t forget each other: “???”
What does it mean? Is this city targeting him, Xiao Qiang Wang Wang?! He just wanted to add more food to upgrade, but why is the meal gone?
At this time, Wu Xiangwang also heard the exclamation from behind. He turned around and found that the huge mushroom that was being sliced into pieces by more than 20 adventurers and only half of it was left was actually becoming transparent little by little, and then disappeared directly.
"What's going on? How can it disappear in the middle of eating?"
Some adventurers began to complain in dissatisfaction, and they no longer remembered the horror and fear they felt when they first saw this huge and strange mushroom.
Wang Xiao pushed up his glasses and thought carefully about the news he had heard along the way about the City of Fear, and then thought about the important fact that they were sure that the strange things in this city that they imagined were all energy bodies.
He looked up at the city and said, "Perhaps these imagined horrors have a time limit on their existence."
"After all, there are many adventurers entering the City of Fear. There may be tens of thousands of adventurers in the entire city. These people are all afraid, and from time to time, fear will manifest into things of fear. It's okay for a day, but if all the things of fear persisted until they were destroyed, then this city would have long been unable to accommodate so many things of fear."
Ouyang Nan nodded in agreement. "Yes, the time limit is correct. I've wondered before, if everyone keeps wondering why this city isn't filled with horrors, it turns out that at 6 o'clock the next day, all the horrors imagined the day before will disappear."
"In this case, the difficulty is still within an acceptable range."
Otherwise, you will be annoyed and entangled by those "horrible things" that exist all the time.
The other adventurers nodded in agreement. They had gained a lot tonight! First, they had found a way to increase their skill levels, and second, they had learned the time limit for the six-point fear object to disappear.
If they can make good use of the two rules they discovered, they can even stay in this city of fear for a longer time.
However, these two points are additional points they discovered and can be used. They still have no good solutions for the three major tasks of passing this city.
While Wang Xiao and the others were discussing, Wu Xiangwang was also looking up at the entire city.
He agreed with Wang Xiao's inference that the fearful things he imagined would disappear on time at 6 o'clock the next day, but he was more concerned about where these fearful things disappeared to?
If Wu Xiangwang were in other cities, he would not think about this problem, because apart from the cores in the bodies of those dead monsters, useful fur or claws, the useless corpses would either become food for other monsters or eventually rot and return to heaven and earth. There would be no other possibility.
But Fear City is different.
The vast majority, or ninety-nine percent, of the weird things and ghosts in the City of Fear are imagined by human adventurers out of fear. If you peel off the outer layer of these imagined weird things and ghosts, you will find that the inside, or the whole, is actually pure energy.
Even humans can eat this kind of pure energy in various ways to increase the energy in their bodies. For the monsters who are extremely eager for power and strength, how can they watch this "delicious energy" dissipate into the world?
At 6 o'clock, all the terrifying things in the city disappear. It is more like... fixed recycling rather than disappearance.
"What are you thinking about?" Lin Yuan's voice sounded beside him, holding a bright red fruit with a crystal texture in his hand. "It's 6 o'clock, time for breakfast."
Xiao Qiang, who was wrapped in a black cloak, let out a cry of "Ah!" He took the crystal-like fruit and took a bite.
It was full of energy and sweet in the mouth, and his eyes lit up after eating it.
"So, the city lord also needs to eat breakfast."
He suddenly understood why there were almost no strange creatures in this city, only humans. But when he looked at the sky of this city again, he suddenly felt that it was a bit fake and depressing.
"Lin Yuan, how big is the largest weirdness you have ever seen?"
Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this question, then he and Wu Xiangwang looked at the city of fear and answered with a chuckle.
"That's huge, like a mountain, like a river, like... a city."
Wu Xiangwang tutted his words when he heard the last description, "That's really big enough."
If his deduction was even 50% correct, then if he wanted to leave the city early, he would have to complete the Beauty Quest. Furthermore, he had to do it beautifully, so that the Lord of Terror would have no time for anything else.
Otherwise, if the time is not right, even if the gates of the City of Fear are wide open, they will not be able to rush out of this "city".
