Purple star beetle (10)
"Why is your memory so bad?" Jun Xiaoyi asked a question from the bottom of his heart.
Shi Wuyu sighed and said, "My memory wasn't this bad before. Our principal said it might be a mimicry defect."
"Mimetic defect?" Jun Xiaoyi was surprised. It was not the first time he heard this term, but just like those advanced mimicry, there were not many people with mimicry defects. He had only seen this concept in books and had never met such people in real life.
"Do you know Gongye Jiwang?" asked Shi Wuyu.
Jun Xiaoyi nodded. Who among the five major military academies of the Federation didn’t know Gongye Jiwang? He was the undisputed number one combat force among the five major military academies of the Federation.
Shi Wuyu said, "His mimicry also has flaws. Specifically, he's drowsy all day, and his combat effectiveness during the day is far inferior to that at night."
He was also given the title of the God of Sleep.
"The principal said that my mimicry defect is probably a deterioration in my memory. He also said that it might be because our mimicry level is infinitely close to level 3S, so strong that it has almost exceeded the mimicry balance, which is why the mimicry defect has occurred and is restricting it."
"I've tried many ways to remember the potions I took out of the medicine box, but nothing works. It's like when we look at the same thing, the image in your eyes is clear, but in my eyes it's just a mess of gibberish. I can't tell what I'm seeing at all."
"And you can't store things that don't belong in a medicine box, and sticking notes on them won't work."
"I see." Jun Xiaoyi nodded thoughtfully, and then glanced inconspicuously at Shi Jianxia who was concentrating on hunting Zerg and parasites in the distance.
Shi Jianxia's strength improved so quickly, which showed that her mimicry level was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. He knew that "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was a miraculous mimicry passed down from ancient times.
Jun Xiaoyi had heard her grandmother mention the former glory of the Black Tortoise Mimicry. From this, it can be seen how powerful the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" must be, which is superior to the Black Tortoise Mimicry.
So, does "Classic of Mountains and Seas" have mimicry defects?
-
While the two were chatting, Xia Shuxing, who had a small bottle of strengthening potion poured on his head, felt full of strength before he could react to what happened. The muscles in his arms bulged slightly, and his school uniform was stretched a little tight.
He vaguely realized that his strength had been enhanced, and immediately swung the Azure Sea Dragon Spear, shooting at the earthworm insect species next to him that was biting towards him with its circular serrations wide open!
This type of Zerg secretes a special mucus on its body surface to strengthen the defense of the epidermis. The circular serrations on its head have very strong bite force and can easily bite through steel bars. There is also a layer of corrosive substance attached to its teeth. If a person is bitten, the worst case scenario is that they will lose their hands and feet, or die on the spot.
When searching the Zerg-occupied area before, several people encountered this kind of Zerg. A level three one was quite difficult to deal with. The one in front of them was obviously level four, with much higher attack and defense power.
When Xia Shuxing swung his gun, the intensity of the water energy condensed at the gun tip almost doubled. The water waves penetrated the skin of the earthworms, gathered their subcutaneous tissue fluid and condensed it into a marble-sized water energy aggregate, which then exploded inch by inch when the energy was filled to the extreme.
Flesh and skin splattered everywhere, and Xia Shuxing immediately raised an energy shield to avoid being covered in dirty liquid. The dirty liquid fell to the ground, making a slight corrosive sound.
The power was so strong that even Xia Shuxing, who initiated the attack, was shocked.
He had fought with many people who possessed auxiliary mimicry abilities and had enjoyed various amplification effects, but no one's mimicry talent had ever given him such a strong amplification, which was simply a doubling of his current combat power.
No teacher!
In addition to his high level of mimicry potential, his combat level is probably not low either!
Xia Shuxing felt the abundant power in his body, leaped off the unicorn, and charged into the swarm of insects!
His combat power was greatly improved, and he seemed to be at ease fighting against these tough and thick-skinned Zerg.
Shi Wu Yu treated Shi Jianxia and Wen Qiuqiu equally and also used strengthening potions on them. Their combat power increased greatly, and they could hunt Zerg and parasites faster and faster.
Especially Shi Jianxia, she cooperated seamlessly with the cubs and asked the Shenshan people to use the triangle formation. The unorganized and undisciplined Zerg were no match for them at all, and they were hit hard and hammered to the ground.
Before they could even get up, the cubs in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, such as 朏朏, had already waved their sharp claws to give them the final blow. They picked up the insect crystals and stuffed them into the gauze bags hanging around their necks. Their movements were so agile and quick, as if they had done this thousands of times before.
Bifang and other fire-type creatures worked diligently to spit out flames and burn the ugly and disgusting Zerg corpses on the ground.
This series of actions can be described as assembly line operation.
Jun Xiaoyi looked at the situation in the battle circle and was amazed at the cubs' ability to organize and cooperate. It seemed that Shi Jianxia must have trained them a lot in private.
He asked curiously, "Is the effect of your strengthening potion also permanent?"
Shi Wu Yu gave him a look that said 'how is that possible'.
"When a person with special abilities summons a mimic to fight, they're essentially consuming energy. The same is true for strengthening potions. The increase in their strength comes from the consumption of my own strength. If I possess sufficient strength, theoretically I could achieve a permanent increase in strength, but that's obviously impossible."
If he could really permanently enhance his combat power out of thin air, his mimicry would be too outrageous. Level 3S is not enough to describe this kind of incredible talent.
After hearing what he said, Jun Xiaoyi looked him up and down, "So, what level are you at now?"
He can easily support three level 4 ability users to increase their combat power. This guy is hiding really well.
Shi Wuyu touched his nose and whispered, "Level five."
Jun Xiaoyi gasped, "Level five?!"
"But I'm just a newbie." Shi Wu Yu put on a mask of pain.
Jun Xiaoyi recalled his unreliable memory and said in a cryptic way, "Maybe you need an assistant to help you remember the types of potions."
Ordinary people with memory problems can also go to the doctor and restore their memory through a series of means such as surgery or medication. However, people with special abilities have mimicry defects, and no matter how powerful the medical means are, they will not be able to treat them. This situation is equivalent to having a terminal illness, which is not fatal but incurable.
"Hey!" When Shi Wuyu heard his words, it was like opening the door to a new world. His eyes sparkled as he said, "That makes sense! Just because I can't remember doesn't mean others can't remember!"
He stroked his chin and thought. Jun Xiaoyi did not disturb him and looked forward.
After being tempered at the Xuanta No. 7 correction training ground, Shi Jianxia's combat skills improved by leaps and bounds. Not only were her attacks swift, accurate and ruthless, she also had almost no unnecessary moves. The connection between offense and defense was natural. She was both a sharp spear and a solid shield. The parasites fighting with her could not survive more than a few moves at her hands. Their insect crystals were dug out and they were killed.
Although the chief instructor who came over from time to time did not quite approve of their behavior of hunting insect crystals during their spare time from exams, he could not help but smile after seeing their outstanding combat performance.
Good seedlings! They are all good seedlings!
The battle here was quite noisy, and with the constant flow of parasites gathering around after smelling the blood, it quickly attracted the attention of many military academy teams.
They followed quietly, peeked in from commanding heights or hidden corners, and saw the battle in the small square, all of them were extremely surprised.
Someone muttered, "What are Shi Jianxia and the others doing? There doesn't seem to be any part of the mission that involves hunting Zerg."
"Did they discover something? For example, something related to Mission Three?" another member of the same team made a reasonable guess.
Many people thought of this. One military academy student, who usually had a good relationship with Shi Jianxia and the others, came over curiously and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you making such a commotion? Is this related to the exam?"
Her questions were quite direct, and she looked a little embarrassed. Asking people about their exam tasks directly might seem like taking advantage of them.
As she spoke, she fought with the Mimic Fusion, helping to kill the Zerg.
Shi Jianxia cut a third-level earthworm in half. Its vitality was extremely tenacious. Even after being broken into two pieces, it was still wriggling desperately on the ground. The wound even quickly secreted a fishy yellow liquid and repaired itself.
She did not give the insect a chance to make a comeback. With a thought, the phoenix and the phoenix chicks spit out the fire of nirvana and burned it towards the wound of the earthworm insect.
There was a crackling sound, and the earthworms began to struggle in pain as if they were injured people being splashed with pepper spray.
Shi Jianxia took this opportunity to answer the visitor's doubts, "No, our mission is almost complete. Now we are just hunting Zerg and earning some Zerg Crystals."
"It's almost done?" another cadet exclaimed, his tone full of surprise, and a hint of understanding in the ending tone.
Shi Jianxia looked at the two people who were helping to hunt the Zerg, and his mind moved, and the corners of his lips quickly rose.
She said as a matter of course: "Yeah, are you done?"
They both shook their heads.
The area occupied by micro-bugs was neither large nor small. Their team was not very strong, so they chose the most conservative examination method.
Prioritize mission one, but so far we have only completed the exploration of three-quarters of the Zerg-occupied area and identified a portion of the Zerg. There is no sign of mission three at all.
Shi Jianxia cleared his throat and said, "You are all Nanto's classmates. I can tell you some clues."
Their eyes lit up instantly, then hesitated again, "Isn't this a bad idea?"
Getting hints from other teams, does that mean you're cheating on the exam?
Shi Jianxia said disapprovingly, "Didn't the Chief Instructor say that when we carry out missions in insect-occupied areas, we should take advantage of every possible opportunity?"
The two looked at each other, obviously somewhat convinced by her.
Shi Jianxia continued, "How about this, each of you give me a level three insect crystal as compensation, but you're not asking for my information for free."
Two cadets: "..."
Okay, so you were waiting here.
They pursed their lips and thought about it. The instructor did not say that they could not cooperate with other teams, nor did he say that they could not obtain information from other teams.
For the midterm exam results!
The two of them gritted their teeth and did it!
A third-level insect crystal was nothing to them, so they immediately took it out from their space bracelet and handed it to Shi Jianxia.
Shi Jianxia accepted it frankly and gave a clue: "Go to Renxin Hospital."
He then warned, "This information is exclusive and must not be leaked. If you want more accurate information, you can consider paying a Level 4 Bug Crystal."
They both: “…”
They have the third-level insect crystals, but they are reluctant to give up the fourth-level insect crystals. Having such a precise landmark is enough.
One of them said, "Thank you very much. We will leave first."
The two of them hurriedly left the small square. The military cadets who were secretly observing the situation here from all directions were a little surprised. They all saw them talking to Shi Jianxia and giving the insect crystals. Their minds turned and they quickly thought that the two sides might have reached some kind of deal.
At this moment, Shi Jianxia jumped out of the battle circle in the small square, stood on the roof of a low building, turned on the speaker function of the intelligent brain, and said to all the teams who were secretly observing: "Sell clues related to mission three, one third-level insect crystal per person, first come, first served~"
The participating military cadets were confused.
Wha…what?
Selling clues related to mission three?
Is this... is this appropriate?
The quick-witted cadet thought of the two people who had just left so quickly and shouted, "I'll buy it!"
This shout seemed to open some kind of floodgates. The next moment, cries of "I buy! I buy! I buy!" echoed around the small square. Those who didn't know would have thought something extraordinary had happened.
A parasite heard the noise, looked up in confusion, and was quickly knocked to the ground by a heavy blow from Xiaoshan who rushed over.
Outside the examination room, Chief Instructor Nan Teng's pupils trembled as he pointed at Tokimi Natsu on the virtual screen and said in a trembling voice, "What is this little bastard doing!"
The chief instructor of Feng Yan Military Academy also asked the deputy instructor beside him: "Is this considered a violation of the exam rules?"
The invigilators looked at each other in bewilderment. Someone whispered, "There's nothing in the exam regulations that forbids sharing mission clues with other teams..."
The instructors even encouraged the reference teams to cooperate with each other to complete the task, otherwise there would not be so many powerful parasites on the fourth underground floor of Renxin Hospital. This was originally to make the reference teams cooperate to complete the task arrangement.
Who knew that Shi Jianxia's team far exceeded the instructors' expectations, and the five of them dealt with all the purple star blister beetle parasites on the fourth underground floor.
Another assistant instructor whispered, "I was wondering why they didn't take the recording chip with them when they left the fourth underground floor. Turns out they were waiting here."
In the exams they had supervised in the past, they had encountered cases where the reference team informed other teams of the mission clues, but no military academy student had ever sold the mission clues to other reference teams at a fixed price.
You say she is generous, she earned so many third-level insect crystals. You say she is stingy, she left the most important recording chip on the fourth floor underground and didn't mind letting so many military academy students get clues.
In this way, the reference team will have a high degree of task completion, and the proportion of people who receive high ratings will increase significantly.
