As Livia expected, the message that popped up on the dark green monster was indeed a failure of reconnaissance, but there was also another hint.

[Reconnaissance failed, no information about the creature] [It is recommended to select the mutation skill tree to expand the biological atlas] Looking at the prompt message at the back, Livia opened the system panel puzzled. On the translucent panel in the field of vision, the pattern representing the skill tree was constantly flashing, just like the prompt for adding points in the game.

mutation?

How does this relate to the extended atlas information?

Livia was a little confused for a moment. In the game, mutation is a skill that exists from the beginning. Mutation-inducing substances can be used to enhance the character's abilities, such as increasing attack power or the power of spells, but there is no ability to expand information. It's probably another magical modification.

[Mutation: Mutation-inducing substances can be extracted from the monster's corpse.

Demon hunters can use it to enhance their physique and develop new abilities.

】After opening the skill tree panel and looking at the flashing mutation icon next to the lit Green Grass Trial, Livia looked at the available points displayed under the skill tree.

[Alchemy points available: 1] You really want me to use up all the points, leaving nothing behind.

Then why don’t you settle the previous tasks? It has been stuck for so long and I don’t know what’s going on. Livia complained helplessly about her own system in her heart.

The two tasks in the Kovagr branch quest are still unfinished. Rivia had been looking forward to them for so long, but after leaving Kovagr, they are still not shown as completed.

Originally, he was chatting with Will and learned that alchemy was very popular in this world, so he was also preparing to make some medicine.

With a sigh, Livia invested her only skill point into mutation. After all, the system had prompted her to do so, just like the tutorial in the game. This was basically necessary.

"Ugh..." As soon as the mutation occurred, Livia's face changed. He covered his abdomen and slowly half-knelt down. His stomach seemed to be churning and he felt waves of severe pain.

But for Livia, the pain she experienced was still bearable.

The severe pain came and went quickly, and just when Livia gritted her teeth and tried to hold on, the pain in her stomach disappeared.

"call……

It seems that the mutation directly changes the body structure, which is true, but logically speaking, this skill should have been acquired after the Green Grass Trial, this system is really a pitfall. "

Livia stood up slowly and brushed off the dust on his body, but he didn't feel any changes except that he felt a little hungry.

I’m hungry…

He glanced at the dark green monster corpse on the ground, and in his vision, something seemed to be flickering inside the corpse.

Um?

Is this the power that mutation brings, the ability to discover mutation inducers?

He squatted down and used the tip of the sword to cut open the belly of the dark green monster's corpse, picking out a thumb-sized heart with tiny green beads on it.

Looking at this strange heart, Livia suddenly felt an appetite for some reason.

Um?

? ?

"Do you want me to eat it directly?"

Livia swallowed her saliva and muttered while suppressing her appetite.

“This is too hard to accept.”

In the game, it is used directly from the backpack, there is no such process at all, and I don't know if it can be eaten like this.

While Livia was thinking, he felt his appetite growing stronger and stronger, and an extreme feeling of hunger came from his stomach.

"Hiss..." Livia's face turned pale and blue. After hesitating for a long time, she finally closed her eyes, tilted her head back, opened her mouth, and threw the thumb-sized heart into her mouth.

Just eat it. Ever since he became a witcher, ordinary toxins have no effect on him. Not to mention that his stomach has just undergone some mutations. Even if there is any poison, it is impossible for him to be killed.

After chewing it for a few times, I felt a bit crispy when biting it, which might be the feeling of the green beads on the heart being bitten, and then a stream of juice exploded in the mouth. The texture and taste seemed pretty good, crispy and a little sweet and sour.

Livia swallowed it while thinking this.

After swallowing it, Livia felt his stomach and intestines begin to move slightly. After a few seconds, a warm current flowed from the stomach to all parts of the body. "Ah..." Livia moaned comfortably. This feeling was like taking a hot spring bath. His whole body was warm and very comfortable.

After the warm current faded away, a prompt appeared before his eyes.

[You have taken a mutation-inducing substance from an unknown monster, and based on your current attributes, you have gained permanent: Constitution 0.1, Strength 0.3, Agility 0.2.

Temporary: Agility +0.3 in forest and grassland areas (lasts 10 minutes)] Livia's eyes lit up when she saw this.

He gently waved his empty left arm and indeed felt a slight improvement in his physique and strength. He then opened the attribute panel and looked directly at the attributes, skipping over the others.

[Constitution: 20.6, Spirit: 24.1, Strength: 17.1, Agility 17.2 (+0.3), Resistance: 21.3, Imprint: 6] Seeing that the attributes had indeed increased, Livia turned her head to look at the corpses of the other four dark green monsters, and a hint of anticipation emerged in front of her eyes.

He cut open the chest of another dark green monster corpse and took out the small heart. Livia's movements became more skilled. This time, he put the heart, which was still stained with blood, into his mouth without even closing his eyes and without changing his expression. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it directly.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and this time he carefully felt the warm current spreading from his stomach to all parts of his body. It was so comfortable!

However, he felt that the warmth seemed to be less this time. [You have taken an unknown monster mutation inducer that is currently being analyzed. Based on your current attributes, you have gained permanent: Strength 0.1.

Temporary: Agility +0.3 in forest and grassland areas (lasts 15 minutes - increases by 5 minutes)] Hmm?

Livia frowned as she saw that the strength had only been increased by 0.1. It seemed that after taking it multiple times or becoming stronger, the effect would weaken, and in the end it should only provide a temporary effect.

That's right, otherwise you can become very strong just by taking some weak monsters, and then you just need to kill monsters and level up.

"Wow!"

Livia suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Why didn't the system remind her to add points earlier? There were so many corpses of monsters in Kowag. Even if it was only effective for the first time, taking it once could still increase a lot of attributes.

Although it was a bit confusing, things had already happened, and the bodies of those monsters of Kovag had long been cremated. One had to know that not everyone was like him and had discovered that mutations could enhance properties through the use of mutagens. Ordinary people would most likely die if they ate the flesh and blood of monsters, with a small chance of turning into monsters or getting seriously ill. Even extraordinary people would have some negative effects if they ate them, so the bodies of these monsters were generally burned.

However, although these no longer have the effect of permanently improving attributes, their temporary effect of increasing agility in grasslands and forests is still useful. They are equivalent to the effects of inferior potions and should be collected for later use.

With this in mind, Livia performed a "thoracotomy" on the remaining three bodies.
