Cataclysm King Chapter 62

  Chapter 62 Gou's data skyrockets

   Not long after, Ji Xun arrived at No. 117, Dongcheng Street, East Fifth District.

   Everything here is familiar.

  The black glass building was brightly lit, and the smoke from the crematorium billowed black smoke.

  In the past few days, there are many times more corpses in Innocence City than in the past, and there are not enough corpse collectors, let alone a completely newly established branch.

  Ji Xun went to the recruitment office.

  The person in charge of recruiting is also a strange minister.

  The field staff of the previous branch company were wiped out, and no one knew him.

  Ji Xun said that he wanted to join the job, and there was no obstacle at all, and he went through the formalities on the spot.

  I distributed a copy of "Corpse Collector's Handbook", a set of work clothes, and a key to the dormitory, and then I was officially hired.

  He was assigned to the fifth team again.

   This team is in charge of a large area near Downing Street. It has the heaviest work and is always short of people.

  The minister just greeted the following newcomers. Originally, the newcomer had to read the Corpse Collector's Manual by heart, but only on the second day did he gradually become familiar with the job he took over.

   But as soon as Ji Xun walked out, the new captain of the fifth team stopped him.

   "Hey, newcomer, Ji Jisan, right? You help get the corpses in the car to the morgue."

  Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, his expression under the mask was slightly weird.

   It seems that it is the tradition of corpse collectors to squeeze newcomers, and the captain of the new fifth team is very familiar with this.

  However, the last one who did this was already cold.

  Ji Xun thought of some images, and a chuckle flashed in his eyes.

  He didn't say anything, he pushed the trolley, and another newcomer loaded the corpse on the cart, and took the old elevator to the morgue on the third floor.

As soon as he came in, the newcomer who was two days earlier than him also chose to be lazy, and made an excuse and said: "Hey, you can just stuff the customer into the empty box. I'll leave it to you, get acquainted with it, I'm going to go up and wait for the mission."

   This guy also regards him as a newcomer who can understand nothing.

   As he spoke, he also left.

  Ji Xun shook his head, not caring.

  He put the clients into the tin box one by one, and clearly felt the extraordinary characteristics of the corpses. At the same time, he could only hear a sentence in his mouth: "The quality of the corpses is very high recently."

  This eerie morgue is a place for others to wish never to visit.

  Ji Xun liked it very much.

   Quiet and no one disturbs you.

  Ji Xun was already familiar with this process, he quickly fixed the corpse, found a corner and began to meditate.

   You don't need to go out on missions on the first day of employment.

  Ji Xun just stayed in the morgue all night.

  The next morning, Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.

   Originally planned to go upstairs to have breakfast, and then continue to deal with chores, taking time to meditate and practice.

   This is the routine he has developed before.

  However, just as he got up, he suddenly discovered something surprising, and said softly, "The mana value has increased by 200 points overnight?"

  Ji Xun rubbed his temples, a little unbelievable.

  Because he has always wanted to observe how different the breathing method of the golden fragment is from other breathing methods, so he has been recording the value of his spell power growth.

  He clearly remembered that the mana value on his panel was 270 last night.

  After ten hours of meditation, it turned out to be 481?

  Increased by 211 points!

   "Why did it rise so much?"

  Ji Xun was also confused.

   Normally, ten hours of meditation, with his current proficiency, can increase his mana by about 40 points, which is not bad. .

  But last night, it was a full five times?

   "Could it be."

   Ji Xun rolled his eyes and suddenly realized something.

  When he was in the maze before, he found that the breathing method was much more efficient when he meditated. At that time, he thought it was a problem with the secret room, or it was swallowed by the third-order corpse.

   Didn't have time to think about it.

   Now that there is no environmental impact, the breathing efficiency is even higher!

   Breathing method is still Lv1, it stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible to have such an exaggerated increase.

  Ji Xun ruled out all possibilities, looked at the cloth bag hanging around his waist, and said to himself: "Is it really the reason for this jar?"

  Environmental and self-factors are ruled out, so this is the only possibility.

"this"

  Ji Xun is a bit incompetent on the contrary.

   This [X-711-Curse Pot of Mantras] cannot be contained, but it has no negative effects, so he has been hanging on his waist since he came out of the maze.

   Thinking that in case of trouble, it can also block the curse of the mysterious department, as a passive pendant.

   Now it seems that this jar not only has the effect of exempting a single body from curses, but also condenses elemental particles in the void, accelerating the cultivation of spell power?

  Ji Xun thought of this, and immediately recovered from his early awakening: "I found a big treasure!"

  Professional skills can be learned by spending money with practice cards, but mana power can only be accumulated by self-cultivation and meditation.

  No one is an exception.

  He had heard before that those rich people would use some secret magic potions to assist in the practice of breathing techniques, so as to achieve a practice efficiency that was several times that of others.

  But that kind of pure money-burning cultivation method cannot be supported by non-big nobles.

  And the medicines are all top-secret formulas, which cannot be bought by low-level people.

   Envy is useless.

  So Ji Xun also estimated that if he meditated normally and practiced hard, even if he had the remnants of the breathing method, his spell power would increase far beyond ordinary people, but it might take a year or two to reach the level of an official spell card master.

  However, I didn't expect that I picked up a clay pot in the maze, and it turned out to be a big treasure with five times the efficiency of cultivation?

   Maybe more than that!

   This spell jar is numbered X-711. Chu Jiu said that this is a brand new number, that is to say, it is a new catastrophe that the Cao family only discovered in the Old Continent.

  Probably even they themselves haven't figured out what the specific use is.

  The functions that have been confirmed now are single-body curse immunity and assisted breathing training.

   Just these two functions are priceless.

   Ji Xun thought of a lot for a while, and his eyes were bright.

  Although there was an increase in the maze before, it was not as exaggerated as last night. I thought it was because the jar was not worn close to the body?

   Or are there other environmental factors that can affect its increase?

   But there is no rush to find out.

  No one knows that this thing is in his hands now, and there is still a lot of time in the future to slowly test the effect of this jar.

   The cafeteria is already open for dinner, Ji Xun did not stay in the morgue, but walked up.

  Today we will start the task of collecting corpses.

   Time flies and it is half a month.

   With a new identity, Ji Xun continued to be an inconspicuous corpse collector in the Golden Oak Branch of East Fifth District.

  Every day is to set out missions, collect corpses, burn corpses, and practice.

   Regular, ordinary and inconspicuous.

  During this period, the assassination of Governor Cao Sihai also began to continue to ferment.

   Like a tsunami after an earthquake, huge shock waves hit the city of innocence one after another.

  There are various kinds of fighting in the city every day.

  In addition to gangsters, many people from unknown forces also participated.

  Without the common foreign enemy of the Governor's Mansion Cao's family, the clashes between the major gangsters in Innocence City became more and more frequent.

   It seems that there are still many behind-the-scenes forces fanning the flames.

  The collectors in major urban areas are working at full capacity, and the crematorium has never stopped.

   There are not only more corpses, but the quality is getting higher and higher.

  In the past, most of the corpses of card master apprentices were collected.

   But gradually, the corpses of the first-level spell card masters and even the second-level spell card masters may lie on the streets

  The pollution of corpses is getting stronger and stronger, and distortion accidents are also happening frequently.

  The corpse collector teams in several districts encountered accidents of deformed corpses when they were out on duty. There were many strange incidents such as distortions on the scene, fraudulent corpses in the car, and crawling out of the morgue.

  The level of occupational hazards has risen sharply.

  Even if the Golden Oak company has increased wages, there is still a shortage of people at any time.

   But this is good news for Ji Xun.

  He can devour more and more attributes every day.

  The new captain of the fifth team and a few old employees also tried their best to squeeze this "loneled" newcomer.

  Now Ji Xun is almost always in and out of the morgue by himself.

   Sending corpses, burning, and dirty work are all done by him.

  Ji Xun doesn't care, he works hard and be a little transparent in the company.

   This day.

  The third basement floor is gloomy.

   The sound of "huh" and "huh" breaking the wind echoed in the empty corridor, mixed with regular heavy breathing.

  Ji Xun was shirtless in the morgue doing squats, while practicing some basic fighting moves.

  At this moment, his body is completely different from the bony and bony appearance when he first transmigrated, his body is full of muscles, like a knife and an axe.

   Not only is the muscle dimension large, but the lines are also very smooth.

  Sweat drenched the whole body as if it was covered with a layer of oil, and it looked like steel to the naked eye.

  At this moment, Ji Xun was doing a one-handed push upside down, still counting: "197, 198, 199200!"

   Counting to two hundred, he jumped up lightly and landed on the ground.

  Although [Devil's Feast] can devour the supernatural properties of corpses to bring growth to the body, if the human muscles do not undergo resistance training, it will continue to shrink and its strength will also decrease.

  Ji Xun didn't want his talent to be wasted on laziness.

  So every day he plans training time for himself.

  His temperament can endure loneliness, and he has become a madman of cultivation.

   However, as soon as the feet hit the ground, even if they deliberately controlled it, the sound of the footsteps was extremely heavy.

   There was a "boom".

  It was like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

   Taking a closer look, Ji Xunhuan had a heavy iron belt tied around his waist, and there were iron pieces on his feet.

  The weight of this body has exceeded two hundred kilograms.

  But almost every one or two days, one or twenty kilograms will be added.

  The Corpse Collector has been on duty very frequently recently, and the training time is not enough at all. You can only increase the load, reduce the training time with intensity, and achieve the ideal training effect as much as possible.

  There were a lot of high-end physical training recovery potions in the Frost Knight's spoils, which also helped Ji Xun a lot.

  Even with high-intensity training, the physical body did not leave any hidden dangers.

   Just like this boring training day after day, the attribute dimension is also rising visible to the naked eye.

  With the devouring of the Devil's Feast, his attributes are quite different from half a month ago.

  「Ji Xun」

   Strength: 4.92

  Physical: 4.77

   Agility: 4.12

  Toughness: 4.02

  Spirit: 6.11

   Mana power: 1554

  Halo: Doom Gambler

  Element Affinity: Darkness 33/Light 9/Earth 11/Wind 8/Water 16/Fire 11/Thunder 3/Wood 4

  Skills: [Devil Feast Lv1 (101/2000)], [Shadow Stealth Lv1 (13/500)], [Advanced Gun Specialization (1566/3000)]

  [Golden Breathing Method Fragment Lv1 (233/800)], [Elementary Qigong Specialization Lv2 (99/300)], [Elementary Fighting Specialization Lv2 (57/300)]

  Before the labyrinth of the Great Cemetery, Ji Xun's power attributes were only around 3.

  Equivalent to the Katu of the medium melee system.

   Now, all the data are close to 5, and some high-level card players are also at this level.

   This exaggerated increase is also due to the captain of the Frost Knight who swallowed the third-level leader in the maze before, as well as the high-quality customers received by the morgue during this period.

   And it's not just the body stats that have changed!

  Because of the blessing of [Curse Mantra Pot], daily meditation and hard work, the mana value has reached an astonishing "1554".

  This is already similar to the six or seven stages of practicing ordinary breathing techniques.

  But according to the Golden Remnant, he is only at the second stage of being stuck.

   After all, the formula has only been cultivated to the second stage.

  If this exaggerated value and improvement speed are known to others, no one will dare to believe it.

  Then there are various skills, breathing method, fighting, and qigong proficiency have all improved steadily.

   Combat strength visible to the naked eye.

  You can climb high walls with one easy leap, you can crush red bricks with your bare hands, and you can defend against ordinary stabbing with hard qigong

  This kind of ability, which was considered superhuman in the previous life, can be easily accomplished by him now.

  Ji Xun felt that he was in great condition.

   He even felt that if his body continued to grow like this, it would not be long before the identity of "Ji San" would disappear again, and he would come in with a new identity.

  This is just the beginning, the remnant breathing method is only at the second stage, and there is still a long way to go to reach the upper limit of the card master apprentice in physical attributes. There is a lot of room for improvement in the future.

   Regardless of the current chaos in the city of innocence, he has no interest in getting involved, so let's wait until he can't get promoted in the morgue.

  Without a job transfer as an official spell card master, in today's Innocence City, he can only be used as cannon fodder.

   After finishing a set of push-ups and resting for a while, Ji Xun was going to do another set with another hand.

  However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the communication copper pipe on the wall: "Team five, a mission is out!"

  Ji Xun was used to it.

  The frequency of tasks these days is very high, and the exercise is often interrupted.

  He quickly took off the weight on his body and stuffed it into the storage ring.

  He wanted to carry the weight with him, but it was easy for people to see the anomaly if he really needed several hundred catties to ride on the old antique steam truck of the body collector.

  After drying off his sweat and putting on his clothes, Ji Xun quickly went upstairs with the toolbox, jumped into the truck that had started on the side of the street, and galloped away on the street.
