Although the stability of "Hengwo" is guaranteed, Ms. Su Lin's concerns are not unfounded.
This is mainly because the base of the drug is a highly concentrated extract of "rust mist," which is extremely difficult to obtain.
To activate the "rust fog" effect, some of its inherent corrosive and corrosive properties must be retained.
It was something I had to do on purpose (sigh).
However, Xu Shi's ability is mental, so the effects of the targeted drugs will inevitably be deeper than those of other types.
In short, it's quite powerful.
As the medicine spread throughout his body, Xu Shi clearly felt it.
When he first used the "sundial," the suffocating and oppressive feeling he experienced was already making him feel very uncomfortable.
But now it's even deeper—if before it was just ordinary deep-sea area, now it's probably the bottom of the Mariana Trench.
My whole body was enveloped by seawater, my skin stung, my vision blurred, and my consciousness became somewhat hazy.
Strange, ethereal whispers could be heard from time to time.
"Sa sai sa, PDD~"
"Ha↓ha↓ha↓ha↓ha↓ha↑~"
"Osiseke, Osiseke..."
If you let this kind of thing cycle through your mind a thousand or eight hundred times, it's hard to imagine what your mental state would become.
But Xu Shi still tried his best to keep his mind clear, because he knew very well that this was an unavoidable process in the "re-upgrading".
Compared to other things, superpowers are probably relatively fair.
Regardless of one's status, anyone who wants to improve their abilities must take certain risks. All he can do is accelerate the process. No one can escape the impact of the "re-promotion".
Of course, Class D is an exception.
So you have to get used to it—this is just the beginning. "Constant Self" can only help you get up to A level at most, and maybe not even that... There are S and SS levels to come. If you don't suffer now, you'll definitely suffer later.
And all of this was not just to deal with Shen He, or to control Xie Qingyan and the like... Xu Shi felt that he had quite a lot of ambition, and to achieve his goals, he needed to have strong capabilities to support him, or rather, capabilities and goals were complementary to each other.
Even with Su Lin and Xia Wuyou, it's not advisable to rely solely on them; one must be strong oneself to succeed.
With this in mind, he felt himself gradually adapting and began to explore the boundless seabed little by little.
But then again, why is it always this style of mine...? The original work doesn't have any descriptions of him as the villain in this regard, but there's still a lot of fluff about how he sinks into the river.
Every time it's about light and sanctuary, it's about darkness and the deep sea, which is absurd.
Xu Shi rolled his eyes inwardly, and just then, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him.
Um?
Based on previous experience, this should be the anchor point for a breakthrough... but Xu Shi always felt that something was not right.
Sure enough, a moment later he discovered that there was an anglerfish in front of him that was several times his size!
The so-called bright light was nothing more than bait it threw out.
Even knowing this, he seemed to have nowhere to retreat. As he pondered, the giant beast opened its blood-red maw full of sharp teeth at him!
Ouch... what's going on?
Although I know this is just my own consciousness dimension, it won't be a big problem even if it is devoured.
But wouldn't that mean the "upgrade" has failed?
Or rather...
Just then, Xu Shi suddenly realized something.
You're the villain yourself, right?
Therefore, what the villain needs to do is definitely not to be baptized in the light.
Instead, embrace the darkness.
Although there is still some uncertainty, Xu Shi chooses to trust his own judgment.
So he no longer hesitated and let the giant beast slowly close its mouth.
The next second, strands of ink-like substance tightly enveloped him.
The sense of fulfillment it brought made him smile unconsciously.
That's exactly right.
...
"call……"
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Shi opened his eyes again.
"Ah Lin, Chairman Xu is awake!"
After regaining consciousness, the first thing she heard wasn't Su Lin's concern, but Jiang Chengcheng's, "Are you alright?"
"Hey? When did you get here?"
Xu Shi was still a little surprised, "How much time has passed?"
"...About three days."
Su Lin also hurried over, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was alright. "Chengcheng originally wanted to deliver some documents to you, but she stayed after hearing that you were upgrading your abilities. She has been taking care of you these past few days."
"I see."
Xu Shi looked at Jiang Chengcheng and smiled, "Then you've really had a hard time."
"How could that be? It's only right that I take care of you..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng shook her head, her words filled not only with concern but also with deep self-reproach.
Xu Shi was the one who changed her life. What was taking care of him for a few days? She felt that she hadn't done enough.
At least during this period, she did basically nothing, except for refining the first draft of the "Overlimit Project" while receiving psychological treatment. She couldn't offer any help in dealing with this situation.
We should always try to repay Chairman Xu, shouldn't we...?
However, she has recovered quite well – you can tell from her appearance; she no longer has the messy, self-destructive look she had before, and she looks much more energetic.
