Chapter 126 Chapter 126
The young man ran back home, but when he reached the door, his steps slowed down and he dared not take another step forward.
The door was open, and standing at the door you could see the doors to the living room and two bedrooms.
But he didn't dare to look, his feet felt heavy and he couldn't take a step forward.
Everyone else was silent. The uniformed leader waved his hand to signal everyone to continue with their work and walked over to the young man.
"She has calmed down," the man said.
The young man knelt on the ground and began to cry: "I told you to close the door, why didn't you listen to me! I told you to hide, hide, why the hell...why are you worried about what I will do! Can you save me?! You...you don't leave me..."
The man stood beside the young man, looking at him silently, and then his eyes widened slightly in surprise.
He saw the young man crying and pounding the ground in anger. Then, the ground beaten by the young man's fists began to be corroded with shallow marks.
At the same time, the man also noticed that the blue mark on the exposed back of the wailing young man was slowly deepening and then becoming lighter, as if he was breathing.
What is this?
At the same time, on the other side, Qingtong was using a long staff to deal with a monster.
The first batch of monsters that appeared when the monsters first descended were all small monsters. Even the spliced monsters that could open a weird domain were not very powerful. They could not even fully control their own weird domains and could only affect the area within a few meters where they were. This showed how weak they were.
Of course, no matter how weak the monsters are, once they become aggressive, it will be a disaster for ordinary people who don't have power yet. Only Qingtong's various vests can deal with them like cutting vegetables.
"Host, the first human to gain strange powers has appeared." said the Salvation System.
The Curse Priest was offering sacrifices to the gods (recovering strange corpses). He paused after hearing the words of the Salvation System, closed the live broadcast room and left: "Has someone already obtained strange powers?"
Salvation System: "Yes, and in the community that the host just left. Someone was poisoned by the derivative weirdness of the weird domain."
"A derivative weirdness, similar to the weirdness I solved at that girl's house?"
"Yes."
The so-called derivative weirdness is actually the other small weirdness in a weird domain, in addition to the powerful weirdness that is the core. The origins of these small weirdnesses are generally related to the core weirdness in various ways. For example, this time, if the spliced monsters that were stuck together came from the thieves who stole flour and caused the explosion, then these derivative weirdnesses should come from the other guards who were burned to death by the fire.
These small weird things are also dangerous to ordinary people, but as long as the weird domain is lifted, they will disappear. As long as the weird domain does not disappear, these derived small weird things will reappear over time even if they are eliminated for a while.
After arriving in this strange land, the Curse Priest immediately made the Destruction Core his first goal. Even if he solved the monster that attacked the girl, he gave up looking for it because he guessed that there might be other strange things derived from it.
Of course, he thought that while he was eliminating the core weirdness, other people might be harmed. This was something he could not help because no matter how powerful a person was, he could not be perfect in everything.
Things have their priorities, and he always has to make choices. Even if he chooses to solve a wave of derivative anomalies first, who knows if someone is being harmed by the core anomaly at this time?
He had not expected that someone would gain strange powers due to strange injuries on the first day of the advent of strange things.
“What power did you gain?” the Curse Priest asked as he opened the map to check the landmarks of strange events.
Savior System: "The power of the Corruption Poison. While not particularly strong, and requiring training to control, he does gain the power to harm or even kill the Evil Dead."
"If he gains power by getting hurt in this way, he will definitely suffer damage himself. What will he do?"
Salvation System: "His body has adapted to the poison of corrosion, and at the same time has acquired the toxicity of corrosion. This characteristic will invade every cell in his body."
“Will it affect life expectancy?”
"It will have some impact. If his original lifespan limit is 100, then after acquiring this ability, he can only live to 80 at most. If his lifespan limit is 80, then he can only live to 65 at most."
"That's a bit tragic," the Curse Priest asked, "Will all inherited powers be reduced in lifespan?"
"Not necessarily, but he absorbs toxins in this way." The Salvation System said, "There is another small problem."
"Um?"
"Some of his cells are also toxic, so it's best not to have deep conversations with your girlfriend."
The Curse Priest appeared right in front of a new monster. He raised his staff and paused in mid-air for half a second before striking hard. He quietly spoke to the system: "...Is it what I thought?"
"If it means impure, then the host guessed it right, yes." The Savior System changed the subject, "Of course, if his power is controlled very precisely and can control the flow of toxicity in every cell, there is still a way. If it can be achieved to that extent, perhaps the life span will not be reduced so much."
Curse Priest: "Is there any way to help him control his power?"
"Host, please open the mall to buy cheats."
Curse Priest: ...
He just knew it.
After solving the weirdness in front of him, the live broadcast room was interrupted again, because he was too lazy to perform the sacrifice to the gods. Anyway, he already had an excuse for the disappearance of the weird corpse, and this performance was also quite troublesome.
Moreover, this time the weirdness did not kill anyone, it only injured some people, so there is no need to mourn the dead.
Looking at the map again, the dangerous and bizarre events that could be identified by the salvation system have either been resolved or are being resolved by other aliases. The ones that have not been dealt with are the foreign countries where he has few aliases.
However, Qingtong didn't plan to go for the time being, because even though he was using a strange vest, he felt tired.
It was not just an ordinary feeling of fatigue, it was like I had just had surgery, and I felt weak all over.
If the last one was at the level of the one who could open the weird domain, I'm afraid it would be more difficult for him to solve.
Relying on the fact that there was no live broadcast room watching him and that he was in the wild without any cameras, the Curse Priest gave up on image management and leaned forward, holding his staff with trembling legs, like an elderly man: "System, what's going on?"
"Host, even if it is a monster, it still has physical strength and energy. Moreover, you have only unlocked one skill of this vest, and the monster form is not open. It is in an incomplete state, and all data are at least halved. Think about how many monsters your character has solved today. Even if it is a monster vest, it is not a perpetual motion machine."
Very good, speechless.
Since there was nothing he could do, the Curse Priest opened the map and chose to be teleported back home, then stopped playing.
As soon as Qingtong returned to the shell of his original body, he immediately felt relaxed. He opened the system interface and flipped through it. He was embarrassed to find two small words "tired" under the vest of the Curse Priest.
Qingtong kept comforting himself, saying that it was okay, he was just a little busy now, and he would feel relieved when he could deal with more strange people in the future.
If this world could gain even one tenth of the power to deal with weird things, he would be able to lie down and drink tea.
Of course, considering the current population base, this amount of one-tenth is still a long way to go.
Since there was nothing he could do anyway, Qingtong simply opened the mall and saw that his salvation points were as high as tens of thousands, and the number was still rising.
It seems like a lot, but even the cheapest cheat book requires 10,000 salvation points.
I can afford to buy things, but I can't spend them easily.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or fate, but the cheapest secret book is [How to Precisely Control the Body’s Weird Power].
Qingtong looked at the system mall, his eyes twitching, and finally he clicked buy.
A thin booklet appeared in the air and fell into Qingtong's palm. When he opened it, he could not understand any of the words inside.
"...System???" Qingtong waved the booklet in his hand, "I can't even understand this, how can I use it?"
"Host, please stick the secret book on your forehead." The salvation system said quickly.
Qingtong did as he was told, and then certain information flowed into his mind. He automatically understood the content and learned how to accurately control the strange power in his body...theoretical knowledge.
Because his body has no magical powers, he cannot put it into practice.
Qing Tong thought for a moment, opened the role-playing interface, put on the vest of the Curse Priest, closed his eyes and drove the weird power again. Very good, the weird vest really has weird power. He can feel the power circulating in his body, his tired physical strength is recovering rapidly, and the long staff in his hand is gradually emitting an unknown faint light.
The curse priest looked at the long staff in his hand.
"Congratulations to the host for truly learning how to accurately control the weird power. You will definitely be more adept at using the vest to deal with weird things in the future." The Savior System said excitedly, "I believe that the host will be able to fully tap the full power of the weird vest."
"Full strength?"
"That's right, the host would not think that the three skills of the weird vest he possesses are the only ones he can use, right? Those are the vest's own innate abilities." The salvation system said, "Each character vest has its own characteristics and advantages. The paper man is good at hiding and is as light as a swallow. The faceless child can fly and is fast. The mirror devil has good body skills and is a first-class evasion ability in battle. The pupil is strong and has iron bones. Other weird vests also have their own advantages. The host must dig them out and make good use of them."
Qing Tong silently ended the role-playing: "...System, you didn't remind me before."
The Savior System said as a matter of course: "At that time, the real weirdness had not yet arrived. The host had been playing live broadcasts all the time, lacking actual combat opportunities and no access to secret manuals. Even if I told you in advance, there would not be much opportunity for you to practice."
"That being said..."
"But it's different now!" The Savior System said excitedly, "There are secret manuals now. You don't need to learn all kinds of combat skills from scratch. You can redeem them as long as you get Savior Points! Then the host can combine the various secret manuals he has learned with different weird vests to become the strongest in the world! And then save the world!"
Qingtong said "oh" and lowered his head to continue to open the cheats interface of the mall: "Compared to those, first recommend me some basic ones that are suitable for ordinary people to learn and can deal with weird cheats."
Savior System: "...Second page of the cheat book, third row, fifth item."
Qingtong turned his eyes and looked over, and saw a book called [Use the force of others to counter the force - How to use strange power to attack strange things].
Qingtong raised an eyebrow: "System, the names of your secret books are quite interesting." The names are very straightforward, but not very serious.
Savior System: "Isn't this a good name? It saves me from having to read the introduction."
Qingtong had just enough points, so he raised his hand and bought one.
A thicker book than the previous one fell into his hand. Qingtong opened it and found it was full of incomprehensible scribbles. He simply put the book on his forehead and a stream of information rushed into his mind, almost making him vomit.
This secret book contains a cultivation method. After completing the cultivation, you can steal strange power, entangle it in yourself or your weapon, borrow the enemy's power to attack the enemy, and kill the enemy.
While relaying, it also has an effect similar to absorbing the enemy's blue in the game, which can weaken the enemy step by step.
At the same time, the cultivation of secret books also has levels. Low-level beginners cannot steal strange powers that are much stronger than themselves, so they need to be cautious when facing the enemy.
"I thought it was a regular booklet, so I could make unlimited copies and distribute it." Qingtong sighed, "It seems I can only hand in one copy."
"It's okay, host. One copy can be used repeatedly. You can line up one by one to hit your head." The salvation system comforted.
Qing Tong: "Even so, it can only be handed over to one country or organization at most. If others want it... they can only exchange it for another one."
I took a look at my salvation points and saw that there were only about 5,000 points left. Although they were still increasing, there was no hope of redeeming them in the next two days.
However, compared with the cheats, other things are much cheaper, especially the things in the sundries, which are so cheap that one salvation point can be exchanged for ten grams of gold.
Unfortunately, money is the least important thing to him now.
The secrets are there, all that's left is weapons.
Qingtong opened the equipment list of the system mall, which looked like the trading panel of equipment merchants in many games. The equipment list was divided into several items, including weapons and clothing. Qingtong first went to look at the weapons, and after selecting and choosing, he bought three small daggers.
For no other reason than they are cheap.
After three daggers, there were only 700 points left, and many good things could not be bought, except for the sundries area. Qingtong closed the mall and planned to save some shopping points before shopping.
Looking at the two secret books and three daggers on the table, except for one dagger that he kept for his own use, the rest were given to Bai Yixin for trading.
I have to find a reason to meet with Si Zai, the director of the weird response department.
