Cataclysm King Chapter 34

  Chapter 34 Attribute Skyrocketing

   Not long after, the truck stopped at the body collector building at 117 Dongcheng Road.

  Captain Dong Jiu and the other two old team members went directly to their room to sleep, and it was the job of Ji Xun and Ji Bu, two newcomers, to move the corpse to the morgue.

   They are also used to it.

  The two brought a cart, one of them piled eight body bags on the cart, and then took the elevator down to the third basement floor.

  On weekdays, except for transporting corpses, no one would come to this unlucky place.

  The body was put in a lead iron box, and Gibb left.

  Ji found an excuse to stay.

   Hearing the creaking of the old elevator going upstairs, he glanced at the empty corridor again, and then pulled out one of the iron boxes.

  Opening the body bag, Ji Xun found the [Secret Cause Psychic] from the belly of the corpse with no change in expression.

  Knowing that lateness will lead to change, he didn't waste time, and he used the feast secret method to start devouring directly cross-legged.

  Before, he only tried it briefly in the cellar of Tailor Street, but now Ji Xun seems to be devouring the dark and extraordinary characteristics of the material without any hesitation.

  It was the first time for him to devour such a pure extraordinary characteristic. As soon as he swallowed it, the flesh, bones, and internal organs all over his body faintly emitted a wave of heat.

  Ji Xun is already familiar with this feeling, this is a sign of growing flesh and blood!

   But right now this feeling is stronger than ever.

  Before, devouring supernatural properties on a corpse was like squeezing drops of water in the wet sand by the river to drink, and it took a little bit of effort to get it; but now it's like drinking directly in the river, gulping it down.

  The body gradually changed from scorching hot to scorching hot, with unbearable pain.

   But now is not the time to rest.

  Ji Xun is always paying attention to the data on the panel, as long as it is not fatal, he will not stop, and still devour it.

  He is very clear that this thing must not be kept.

  Long nights and dreams, now we must race against time to digest them.

   As time went by, the size of the amber psychic became smaller and smaller.

   I don't know if it's luck, but after returning from Tailor Street, their five teams have never been on missions.

   This also gave Ji Xun enough time to devour the [Secret Cause Spiritual Medium].

  From the afternoon to the next morning, he stayed in the morgue for more than ten hours.

  Long Ye suddenly realized for a moment, Ji Xun who was meditating slowly opened his eyes

  Looked at his pocket watch, it was a quarter past seven in the morning.

  Ji Xun looked at the psychic medium that had completely disappeared in his hand, and exhaled a long breath: "The devouring is finally complete."

  The physical evidence has been eliminated, and the biggest hidden danger is gone.

   Looking at it again, its own attributes have changed drastically.

  「Ji Xun」

   Strength: 3.15

   Constitution: 3.55

   Dexterity: 2.78

  Toughness: 2.56

   Spirit: 5.97

   Mana Power: 114/115

  As Ji Xun predicted, after devouring the psychic medium, the physical attributes basically broke through 3.

  He looked at his forearm, and when he squeezed his fist hard, the knotted muscles under the skin bulged.

   This feeling of strength in all the limbs and veins is great!

   "So strong."

  Ji Xun had a whim, lay down on the ground and did more than a dozen push-ups in one go, as easily as breathing.

  The strength of his arms allows him to support his body easily, and his muscles are as strong as springs. The body swelled around, but there was no clumsiness, and the whole person felt light.

  He tried to use the absolute strength of his arms to support his balance, and he did a few push-ups while standing on his head.

  He still felt very relaxed.

  The two hands were changed to one hand, then to five fingers, and finally to a three-finger handstand, still steady!

  The three-fold increase in strength allowed him to easily perform strength training actions that were impossible to complete before.

   Tried the strength of the lower body again, and took off vertically. Because he was not familiar with the skyrocketing jumping ability, he hit the ceiling with his head.

   There was a muffled "boom".

  Ji Xun's head was buzzing, but his face was full of energy.

  Visual inspection, he just jumped vertically and easily exceeded 1.5 meters, which is a height that even professional basketball players in previous lives could not reach.

   "This is the extraordinary!"

  Ji Xun enjoyed this feeling of overwhelming strength, and finally he also mastered this physical ability that broke through the limits of ordinary human bodies.

  Before devouring corpses, it grew a little bit. It feels amazing to directly increase the height like this.

   More than just strength gains.

  The [secret cause psychic medium] is evil material, and the dark factor it contains is also very exaggerated.

  The dark affinity value has changed directly from yesterday's "12" to "27".

   That is to say, even if he doesn't need to wear a mask, he can use the [Shadow Stealing] skill at any time.

   In addition, the mental power has also increased by more than 1 point. This is the first time that the demon's feast has been used, and the mental power has increased by directly devouring the extraordinary characteristics.

   And the mana value has also become 115.

  According to the description in the breathing method classics, if the mana value exceeds 100, is he already at the level of mana?

   In other words, he is now a "Card Master Apprentice".

  Although it is still the most elementary stage, you must know that he has only been learning breathing techniques for four days!

  It would be impossible to switch to normal practice in a few months.

  Ji Xun looked at the huge changes in his body, and looked forward to a sentence in his heart: "If there are a few more [secret cause psychic], how much will it be strengthened?"

   If it is really necessary to absorb the supernatural properties of the corpse, it will take months or even years to reach the current level.

   But just think about it.

   There is no need to think about the big dark secrets involved in this thing, and it is already a big risk to get a piece.

   Even if he really had the chance to encounter the task like yesterday, Ji Xun would not dare to take the second piece easily.

   The first time can be covered up by various conditions, but the second time it is directed to seek death.

   Now that the "physical evidence" is gone, Ji Xun doesn't have to stay in the morgue anymore.

  He took out the disinfectant in the corner and started cleaning.

  The smell of disinfectant is very irritating, which can block most of the olfactory perception. And this is also the normal cleaning procedure of the corpse collector, it is done almost every day, and it will not make people suspicious.

  The reason why he didn't run around last night and stayed in the morgue all the time was because he learned from the experience on the train last time.

  The stench in the cellar on Tailor Street is hard to get rid of, including the smell of the psychic medium. I'm afraid there will be a spell card master with the sense of smell to find it by following the smell.

   But if Fan Jixun takes the psychic to other places, it is very likely that people will notice the abnormality.

   And if you stay in the morgue all the time, even if someone comes by smelling it, the dozens of corpses found in the cellar in the morgue can mislead and cover up the smell of the psychic.

   After finishing everything, Ji Xun got up and left the morgue.

   Today is a rest day, he has other things to do.

   That is to listen to the free course given by the card maker of the Hunter Union.

   Walking out of the branch building, Ji Xun checked the time, it was eight o'clock sharp.

  A large number of factories in the city spew exhaust gas day and night, and the air is filled with a lingering soot smell all year round. Ji Xun walks on the street wearing a gas mask.

  Innocence City in the early morning was still busy, and workers who were off the night shift poured into the streets in large numbers.

   Because it is an underground city, there is no sun.

  The difference between night and day is that during the day, the lights on the towers in the city block are much brighter, and there are many more pedestrians.

   Innocence City is very large, and the city area is estimated to be at least hundreds of square kilometers.

   Fortunately, there are intricate tracks and intercity steam trains.

  Ji Xun took the train across half of the city, from Dongcheng to Geluo Street in Nancheng.

  There is a very conspicuous yellow-painted building on this block, which is the tallest building in the vicinity. The towering spire has been hidden in the dark, solemn and majestic.

  There is a huge bow and ax badge hanging on the wall. This is the headquarters building of the Hunter Union at No. 1 Gero Street.

  The Hunter Union is the centralized place for hunters to post recruitment, obtain missions, buy and sell information and trade.

  There are so many people every moment.

  The streets are mostly hunters with guns, knives and steam mechanical equipment.

  Ji Xun walked towards the main building, walked out of the rail station and walked onto the covered bridge within two steps. When he looked down, he saw that there was mist in his eyes, and he was still tens of meters high.

   This is the architectural feature of Innocence City.

  The whole city is built on the hillside, complex and three-dimensional. Now it is the first floor facing the street just after getting off the bus, but after walking through the covered bridge, you will find that you are on the 20th floor counting from the first floor.

   Misty and shadowy, like a dream.

  The buildings under the lights are bustling, and there are countless hidden secrets hidden in the darkness.

  The streets are lined with various stalls, this is Hunter Square City.

  It looks like an antique market in a previous life, with all kinds of weird items on the stalls.

   "Come and see, the elemental demon mark just produced in Overwatch Fortress only costs 250,000."

   "The distortion materials produced in the Devil's Crossing relics are common materials for the Assassin and Nanny types, and the large quantities are preferred."

   "The hidden soul wood produced in the Western Plague Forest, the best undead material, come and take a look"

   "The rare mithril ore produced in the Eagle's Nest Mine is the ultimate material for forging alloy machinery. Also sell the finished Hailuo K-3 mechanical arm, the standard equipment of the Shangcheng army"

  The stalls sold mostly all kinds of cards and supernatural materials obtained by hunters exploring caves.

   There are also some stone carvings engraved with ancient characters, broken books, scrolls and so on.

  The dazzling array of items frequently attracted Ji Xun's attention.

   These are the treasures produced by the major relics.

  Hunters will come here to set up stalls as long as they have free time when they come back from exploring the caves. Because this will be much higher than buying directly to black-hearted middlemen.

  In addition to street stalls, there are also shops facing the street.

  Ji Xun came here once before, and bought the book [Breathing Method of Great Darkness].

  It was almost nine o'clock, he didn't wander around the market, but directly entered the hunter union hall.

  As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the hall of thousands of square meters was crowded with people, and the most conspicuous places in the hall were several huge magic light screens.

   There are a lot of recruiting information on the screen.

   "'Great Cemetery Maze' recruits teammates, explores C-level difficulty, and collects undead materials. Dark priests and those who are good at solving puzzles are preferred."

  「The 'Twin Towers Fortress' opened up wasteland, recruited a sharpshooter and a heavily armored black knight.」

   "'Plague Mine' is used to collect mysterious materials. Set off in three days, led by Lao Qiangluo, and bring some healing professions."

  Hunters will issue mission rewards in the trade union, and at the same time, hunter teams of all sizes can also recruit and find suitable teams to set off together.

  Ji Xun also came in for the first time, and it looked amazing.

  It turns out that apart from the [407 Abnormal Creature Shelter] that I encountered before, there are many different dimensions in this world.

   After a few glances, he didn't look too much, and walked to the elevator beside him.

  The elevator went down to the third floor, and here is also a huge stepped conference room.

  The free course explaining spell card knowledge is very popular. When Ji Xun came, there were already hundreds of people sitting here.

  However, because of the elementary card knowledge, most of the people who came to listen were young hunters and half-grown children, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

  Ji Xun looked around and sat down in an inconspicuous corner.
