Red-backed centipede (6)
The Zerg Investigation Office's inquiries were much friendlier than Shi Jianxia had imagined, but she also sensed something amiss in Zhuang Mingyue's words.
The appearance of red-backed centipedes in Minghua Community may not be an accident, and there may be some inside story involved that she is not aware of.
However, since the Zerg Investigation Office did not restrict her personal freedom, it seems that she is indeed the lucky one in this accident and is not involved in any mess.
After leaving the Zerg Investigation Office, Shi Jianxia was holding Xixi and looking at the wide streets and the surrounding high-rise buildings. Suddenly, he felt confused.
She definitely couldn't go back to Minghua Community, and almost all of the original owner's belongings were stuffed into her backpack. But after careful counting, there were only two sets of spare clothes, a row of expired nutrient solution, and the second-hand smart bracelet she was wearing.
Shi Jianxia unfolded the virtual screen of his intelligent brain and saw that the account balance was 37.66 star coins. He closed his eyes in suffocation.
Is she going to be a beggar on the street on the first day of her time travel?
After a brief consideration, Shi Jianxia carried Xixi and walked towards the park next to the Zerg Investigation Office.
The Federation has preferential policies for those with mimicry abilities. They can apply for loans from federal banks based on their mimicry abilities. The amount of the loan depends on the mimicry potential rating and combat level.
Shi Jianxia decided to sort out the current situation first, and by the way, take a look at what was in the intelligent brain distributed by the Mimicry Ability Management Association.
The air in the park is fresh. Many elderly people are doing boxing in the open space, and several children are gathering in the sandpit to build castles.
Shi Jianxia found a secluded corner and sat down.
朏朏 lay obediently on her knees, yawning slightly, with its big tail hanging down, looking drowsy.
Shi Jianxia let it lie there and put the silver bracelet he had just obtained on his left wrist.
After the bracelet recognized her biological information, it immediately stuck to her hand, turning into a thin layer of special material that fits perfectly with her skin, without any discomfort caused by any attachments. If she didn't pay attention, she would not even remember that she was wearing a smart bracelet on her wrist.
Shi Jianxia touched his left wrist, which was as smooth as nothing, then looked at the black old bracelet on his right hand and clicked his tongue softly.
Is this the difference between high-end goods and ordinary goods?
Activating the silver bracelet was like activating a new mobile phone. After verifying a series of information, the main interface with the background of "Mimetic Ability Management Association" appeared in front of Shi Jianxia, along with several information prompts.
One of them made Shi Jianxia's pupils dilate slightly.
Your personal account received a transfer of 10,000 Star Coins (ending in xxxx) on x/x. Transfer note: Monthly subsidy for users with mimicry abilities.
Is there such a benefit in joining the Association for the Management of Mimicry?
Shi Jianxia flipped through the remaining messages, including [Instructions for Users with Mimicry Ability], [Rules for Users with Mimicry Ability], [Mimicry Ability Mission Regulations], etc.
She clicked on each message one by one, reading all the content carefully.
There is really no such thing as a free lunch.
Those with mimicry abilities can enjoy a basic subsidy of 10,000 star coins per month, but they must respond to the call of the Zerg Investigation Office and cooperate in actions when the Zerg Investigation Office needs manpower.
However, in addition to the basic subsidy, those with mimicry abilities who participate in the operation can also obtain mission commissions, including but not limited to insect crystals and star coins.
When Shi Jianxia saw that people with mimicry abilities could apply for free dormitories, he immediately clicked on the application portal and filled in the application information.
But in just a few minutes, the application was approved, and the dormitory address and location information were sent to her smart computer.
Shi Jianxia picked up the sleeping Xiaoxiao and took the floating bus according to the location to the accommodation place arranged by Nixie for her - Linshui Community.
Compared with the dilapidated and old Minghua Community, the environment of Linshui Community is superior. Not only does it have good lighting, but it is also equipped with various entertainment facilities, and there is a large garden and gym next to it.
When Shi Jianxia saw the 'dormitory' assigned to her by Nixie, even though she had owned a large flat before, she had to admit that the benefits of Nixie were really too good, too good.
It is called a dormitory, but in fact it is a suite with 2 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 1 kitchen, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconies, and it is also equipped with a household robot.
There are four households on the entire floor, two of which have seals on their doors, which means she currently has only one neighbor.
After experiencing the slum-like living conditions in the morning, Shi Jianxia was so moved that she almost cried.
The home robot keeps the house tidy and ventilates it every day, allowing residents to enjoy a comfortable environment right from the start.
She put Xiaoxiao on the sofa, and the little guy turned over unconsciously, spread out his limbs and continued to sleep.
Being so sleepy, Shi Jianxia even suspected that he had been infected by the young man named Gongye Jiwang.
She walked around the house and found that the bedding was brand new, the furniture was complete, and there was a whole row of fresh nutrient solution in the refrigerator. Her nervous heart, which had been nervous and uneasy since coming to this other world, finally relaxed slowly.
After pouring a glass of water and drinking it, Shi Jianxia released the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
After reading the various rules and instructions in the intelligent brain, Shi Jianxia has already understood that the reason why the Zerg cannot parasitize those with mimicry ability is because once humans awaken to mimicry, a place called the "Spiritual Power Spring" will be opened up in the brain area, and spiritual power will be born.
Mental power is the basis of mimicry's existence.
The spiritual power fountain can store and nourish mimicry, serving as a resting place for mimicry. It secretes a special substance throughout the human bones and blood, preventing Zerg larvae from using the body of the mimic as a breeding ground for incubation.
However, after the person with mimicry ability dies, the spiritual power fountain will disappear and the mimicry will no longer exist. At this time, the body of the person with mimicry ability will become blood food to nourish the growth of the Zerg, and will be more loved by the Zerg than ordinary humans.
"Classic of Mountains and Seas" still looked gray. If it had not been flying in the air, others might have mistaken it for an ordinary book.
Shi Jianxia opened the title page and found that the content had not changed. She looked at the line "Mimetic Potential: Upgradable" and began to think.
This point was not reflected in the Zerg Investigation Office's assessment report on her spirit body. Is it that they cannot identify it?
Moreover, the "upgradeable" in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" does not indicate how to upgrade like the introduction of secondary mimicry in the book.
Shi Jianxia simply opened his intelligent brain and clicked on the 'Mimetic Exchange Forum' mentioned in the [Instructions for Users of Mimicry Ability].
This forum was on the Zhinao homepage. After entering, the forum prompted her to set a nickname. Shi Jianxia quickly typed in "家有毛蓉蓉" and it showed that the input was successful.
The Mimicry Exchange Forum is an official forum founded by the Mimicry Association. All those who can enter are those with mimicry abilities who have completed registration with the Mimicry Association. It is convenient for everyone to communicate about daily problems encountered, or to form teams to complete tasks issued by the Mimicry Association and the Zerg Investigation Office.
After Shi Jianxia entered the forum, the system directly located her at the Shuiyuanxing sub-forum. In the upper right corner of the forum, she could choose to enter the sub-forums of other planets or the main forum of the Federation.
The Shuiyuanxing sub-forum is quite popular, and the homepage is mostly about the incident today where the Minghua community was hollowed out by red-backed centipedes.
Shi Jianxia clicked on a few posts and found that there was no substantial content. Most of them were discussing how the red-backed centipedes entered the Minghua community and whether there were any that had escaped nearby.
Many people with mimicry abilities also stated that because of the incident at Minghua Community, the entire F District was blocked, with interception checkpoints set up on all major traffic arteries to check passing pedestrians and goods, and the underground magnetic energy road was directly suspended.
Shi Jianxia was shocked and guessed that this matter must be serious.
She clicked on the search bar at the top of the forum and began typing 'mimetic upgrade'.
Sure enough, there are posts related to it.
For example: 'Wow, why is my Mimicry leveling up so slowly?', 'Can anyone tell me how to quickly level up Mimicry?', 'Can Mimicry only be leveled up by eating Insect Crystals?'
Shi Jianxia clicked on them one by one and found that the mimicry upgrades mentioned in the posts were all referring to combat levels. She then entered keywords such as "mimicry potential level", "potential level upgrade", and "potential", but did not find a single useful post.
Could it be that apart from her, no one else’s mimicry potential level can be upgraded?
Shi Jianxia felt that this possibility was unlikely, but he couldn't find the content he wanted, so he had to put this question aside for the time being and opened the catalog of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to see what the remaining eight second-level mimics were and what skills they had, but found that the catalog had been updated by several pages.
The first page was the chapter about strange beasts that she had read before when the nine-tailed fox appeared.
The second page is about the sacred mountain, the third page is about mythology, and the fourth page is about the kingdom of God.
Among them, the fonts of the Strange Beasts Chapter and the Sacred Mountain Chapter are golden, and five chapters are updated below each, corresponding to the ten summoned mimics; the fonts of the Mythology Chapter and the Kingdom of God Chapter are gray-black, with a dull and dusty feeling, and there is a blank space below.
Shi Jianxia could understand that the mimicry corresponding to the chapters on strange beasts and sacred mountains should be the strange beasts and mountain systems that appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", such as the nine-tailed fox and Mount Buzhou.
But she couldn't imagine what kind of mimicry would be born from the mythological stories and mysterious kingdoms in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Could the mimicry corresponding to the mythological story of Gonggong angrily hitting Mount Buzhou be Gonggong appearing and madly chasing and crashing into Mount Buzhou?
The scene was so touching that Shi Jianxia didn't dare to think too much.
She tried to flip back, but could only turn to pages that had already been updated.
It seems that she can only wait until the new mimicry is summoned before she can know what kind of mimicry will appear in the Mythology Chapter and the Kingdom of God Chapter.
Shi Jianxia thought about it and turned to the page corresponding to 朏朏.
Secondary mimicry name: 朏朏
[Mimicry Level: C-level (0/10 C-level vortex required for upgrade)]
[Mimicry Potential: Currently in cub state, can be upgraded to 3S level]
[Mimicry Talent: Dream of Forgetfulness]
[Talent Introduction: Confusion skill, can weave a dream of forgetfulness for the skill target. The authenticity of the dream decreases as the number of targets increases. Cooldown time is 240 hours (cooldown completed)]
[Battle Level: Level 1 (Level 1 Insect Crystals 2109/10000 required for upgrade)]
[Fusion Combat Bonus: Increases the physical function of the mimic owner by 20%]
When Shi Jianxia saw the number of insect crystals required for the upgrade, he was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Xixi who was still sleeping soundly.
The little guy has his limbs spread out, his belly bulging, he is very cute.
She remembered that in the meeting room of the Zerg Investigation Office, Gongye Jiwang fed the little guy one pigeon egg-sized insect crystal after another.
After reading the [Instructions for Users with Mimicry Ability], Shi Jianxia already knew that it was a second-level insect crystal.
The energy contained in one second-level insect crystal is equivalent to the energy contained in 100 first-level insect crystals.
From this morning until he left the Zerg Investigation Office, t朏朏 ate a total of 21 second-level Zerg crystals.
[Instructions for Users with Mimicry Ability] clearly states that upgrading mimicry can be done by feeding insect crystals, but it is best to use insect crystals of the same level, and no more than three per day. Eating too much will not be digested and will be vomited out later, which will also have a negative impact on the owner.
Looking at 朏朲's carefree appearance, she didn't seem unable to digest it, and she didn't feel any burden.
Is it because "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is a cheating mimicry?
Yes, it’s cheating mimicry.
This is Shi Jianxia’s impression of "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Whose mimicry can not only upgrade itself, but also the summoned second-level mimicry has the potential to be upgraded to 3S-level mimicry?
If she had announced in the Mimicry Exchange Forum that her Level 2 Mimicry could be upgraded to Level 3S, she would probably have been immediately carried to the office of the President of the Mimicry Association.
No, keep a low profile.
It is not surprising that there are more secondary mimicry. After all, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is identified as a summoning mimicry by the Zerg Investigation Department.
But every second-level mimicry has the potential to be upgraded to 3S level, which is a unique wonder in the Federation. If the mimicry researchers knew her situation, they would probably look at her more eagerly than they would look at Tang Monk's flesh.
Shi Jianxia has been a social animal for many years and knows that the best way to develop is to develop slowly. Anyway, the Zerg Investigation Office cannot determine whether "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be upgraded. If she didn't say it, who would know that the little guy "朏朏" has the potential to be at level 3S.
