Psychic ability (highlight the health bar): Ji (level 2) → Ji (level 4) (690,000/800,000)
After entering the Mysterious Tower and discovering that there was still a lot of room for improvement in his ability to brighten the health bar, Ji Xing naturally did not stop developing it.
‘Regional battlefield’ is a new application method developed after the regular mode, duel mode, and second blood, which has been upgraded by two levels.
In fact, this is just a transit station. What Ji Xing really wants to develop is the "racial battlefield", to obtain an ability that allows humans to light up red bars and demons to light up blue bars, and feed them back to the main body.
This immortal disease incident happened to be an opportunity for him to become familiar with the application of new abilities and continue to deepen the development of the ability to brighten the health bar.
In his field, the ‘human race’ can be singled out, but if he wants to turn only the ‘immortal sick race’ into a hostile party, he still needs some time.
Similarly, the fish in the river that are not infected with the immortal disease and the insects in the forest all have a blue health bar. Ji Xing is working hard to distinguish them through micro-control, and his experience in the ability to brighten the health bar is slowly increasing.
He was slowly moving towards the black crystal mine here to practice his abilities, while the 20 players, already in groups of two, spread out around Ji Star as the center to eliminate the immortal disease.
Kirito and Asuna were responsible for the 11 o'clock position. At this time, the two of them had used more than twenty combos to kill a white ape infected with the immortal disease and an innocent giant centipede.
Asuna felt numb all over: "This ability is easy to use, but an ordinary centipede would need more than ten stabs to die..."
"If Asuna hates it, don't force it. If you find bugs again, just leave it to me." After being together for so long, Kirito has gained some emotional intelligence, and he agreed: "It is indeed a very convenient ability. It makes it easy to deal with the immortal disease. A lot."
Under the rules of the Mysterious Tower, the undead disease has been weakened by one level, which means there is no need to deal with the corpse. When the time is up, the undead disease corpse will also be refreshed and cleared by the system.
But without the ability to brighten the health bar, it is difficult to kill the undead sick body. Even if it is decapitated, the body without the head can still move. Some people suffered this disadvantage when exploring the 46th floor.
But it’s different now. As long as the health bar is emptied, you can be sure that the opponent is really dead, and you can always check your own situation. What was originally very dangerous is suddenly reduced to less than three points.
It is human nature to follow the wind and think about the waves.
After killing another undead sick body with Asuna, Kirito looked at the full health bars above himself and Asuna, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
"Asuna, wearing this protective suit is too bulky, and my movements are greatly restricted. With this health bar ability, I want to try if I can move faster without wearing it... and practice my sword skills."
Asuna knew that the last sentence was what Kirito was thinking about. Ever since he learned about the mysterious team and was defeated by Toguro Di several times, Kirito became more attentive and diligent in his training.
Compared to himself, Kirito is the one who regards saving the world as his own responsibility.
Thinking about Ji Xing's performance just now, Asuna understood what Kirito meant and said: "I will always keep an eye on the changes in Kirito-kun's health bar."
“Thank you, Asuna.”
Kirito drew out the menu and changed his clothes.
Wearing the usual leather armor, Kirito immediately felt relaxed. Although he could not use his original knife because he was worried about being infected with the undead virus, he did not need a very good knife to cut down monsters on the 17th floor.
The immortal disease will not significantly improve the strength of the infected person, but will only increase the 'vitality'.
Kirito jumped on the spot, nodded slightly to Asuna, and walked in front of her.
About a hundred meters away, by coincidence, they saw a black tiger infected with the undead virus, which was also a common monster on the 17th floor.
“Kirito-kun, be careful.”
Asuna reminded me. She was prepared that if nothing went wrong with Kirito's sword practice, she would take off the protective clothing and practice on her own.
It’s not that Kirito is being used as a test subject, but he knows that Kirito will not agree to being a test subject, so he simply doesn’t argue with Kirito on this matter.
Standing about 20 meters away, her eyes were fixed on the black tiger intersecting with Kirito, paying attention to Kirito's health bar. With the current level of the strategy team, there won't be any surprises when dealing with monsters on the 17th floor.
I saw Kirito moving dexterously, cutting or cutting with a knife, lifting and pressing down. The black tiger was chopped like a big stupid cat, unable to touch Kirito at all. Within a few seconds, his health bar dropped to zero and he died.
Kirito looked happy. He felt that such a target was really good for practicing swordsmanship. It wouldn't kill him or not kill him with one strike, and he could clearly see the damage caused by each strike. But when he looked at Asuna, But he saw that he was surprised and worried.
“Kirito-kun, your health bar!”
Kirito was startled and quickly raised his head to see that the half-meter-long health bar had been emptied. The number behind it told him that it was '85 drops'!
how come? ! I wasn't touched by it!
"It was deducted after killing the black tiger." Asuna quickly stepped forward and pulled Kirito away: "I'm afraid it was caused by inhaling the undead virus. Kirito-kun, you'd better put on the protective clothing quickly!"
Inhaling the immortal virus? Kirito was startled and recalled the situation when Ji Xing explained ten minutes ago.
He inhales the undead virus and loses 1 drop of blood.
Why did I directly deduct 15 drops of blood? !
Ji Xing, who was far away, glanced at them and said in his heart: 'You underestimated the immortality disease, and you also overestimated the resistance of these players. They really can't stand it without protective clothing. If there is no more health bar, Kirito may trade with Black Tiger. ’
Fortunately, only Kirito and Negishi Yoshiyuki were able to ride the wind, and both of them became more honest after their defeat.
The group of people advanced without any danger, eradicating all the undead bodies infected with the undead disease.
…
At the same time, there is a 45-story military town.
Kayaba Akihiko, Yu Gu and other high-level players are paying close attention to the situation of the suppression team.
The frontline report was quickly received, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even the players who had resentment due to the situation of the Demon-Sealing Thread did not want those 20 old comrades to fall victim to the villain's troubles.
"The next step is to investigate the information about Fairy Dance players, especially the Fairy King." You Gu said calmly: "On my side, I have sent people back to reality as soon as possible to report to the superiors, and we will soon lock in the information. We will check all the players who fit the profile of the Goblin King one by one.
On the other hand, I would also like to invite Argo of the Mouse and everyone for your help. I really didn’t expect that there is such a powerful guy hiding in your intelligence guild, Argo. This ability to brighten the health bar should also be useful for defeating bosses, right? How long has Ji Xing been in the game? If this hadn't happened this time, everyone would have been kept in the dark! "
It was obviously something that should be praised, and everyone was shocked and happy that such a person appeared in the Argo Guild. But when You Gu said it, there was a sense of sinisterness and evil intentions, as if he was accusing Argo of hiding Ji Xing in the past. , only for his own guild without caring about the overall strategy.
Many people were slightly unhappy. This **** was here again, using chicken feathers as arrows.
If it were in the past, Argo would probably stab him back with the same displeasure, but at this time, she remembered a conversation she had with Ji Xing before.
‘You said You Gu is not necessarily a fool? ! ’
‘Concerning the mysterious tower concerning the world’s security, the person in charge of the military should not be an idiot. Think about it, what would happen if Yu Gu was replaced by an iron-blooded and tough general? Everything in the Mysterious Tower will be controlled by the army, and all players must act under the unified arrangement of the army...'
‘Hiss, it’s really scary to think about it. So that guy Yu Gu is acting stupid to reconcile the ideological conflict between the military players and the rest of us players? In order to make our exploration of the Mysterious Tower more enjoyable? ! ’
'Probably. Of course, I'm not 100% sure, maybe he's really stupid... Anyway, just treat him as usual. It's okay if he's really stupid, and it's even better if he's pretending to be stupid. ’
Is this guy...really acting stupid?
Argo stared at You Gu twice, feeling that what Ji Xing said made sense, but in his heart he really didn't want to believe that this annoying guy had hidden secrets.
"Why, does General Yougu think that after the truth about the Demon-Sealing Thread is revealed, he can use the righteousness of 'saving the world' to suppress us? Do you also want to control what kind of game Ji Xing chooses? From today on, everyone Do you all have to obey orders?!"
So she answered extra "unbridledly". Later, when she saw that You Gu looked like he had eaten a fly, she had to apologize to herself, secretly appreciating the screening in the center.
Suddenly stunned.
No, why should I listen to Ji Xing? He said I would do whatever he asked me to do?
I am the president!
…
On the other side, due to the military blockade, Nobuyuki Sugou only found out about the situation two days later, when the players completely resolved the immortal disease incident on the 17th floor and headed to the 8th floor.
The expected heavy losses for the strategy team did not appear at all. The players who had dealt with the 17th layer of immortal disease were all alive and well, unscathed!
“Protective clothing is not that effective!”
The Immortal Disease is a man-made disaster that he carefully selected after enduring it for two years. He cannot accept the ending of just killing some casual players!
The 15-day deadline is also a shackles he gives to the players. If they want to solve the problem within the deadline and prevent the truth about the mysterious tower from spreading, the players must be more radical and more likely to suffer losses.
What he wants to see is that the players are running around and working hard despite his own little tricks, but in the end there is nothing they can do! What he wanted to see was Kirito kneeling in front of him and Asuna begging him not to continue!
The difference between reality and ideals is too big.
It was definitely not in any of his plans or expectations to solve the 17-layer immortal disease in two days without any damage!
After waiting for another three days, even the immortal disease on the 8th floor was cleared. Nobuyuki Sugou paid the price of two cannon fodder who did not know his identity and was arrested, and finally knew what the problem was.
"Ji Xing...bastard! This guy came out of nowhere and ruined my good deeds!"
No! I've had enough! Even if we can't inflict heavy damage on the strategy team this time, we should at least, at least get Asuna first and give them some color!
He was calculating, his expression becoming more ferocious.
…
Because the longer the delay, the wider the scope. Even if more players who obtained protective suits joined in, it took five days to completely solve the final second layer.
However, in a total of 10 days, except for the hundreds of casual players and life players who were killed in the first wave, after the major guilds reacted, the players were no longer damaged, and the undead disease disaster on the three floors was smoothly solved, which was excellent. thing.
Yugu also did some personnel work and wanted to reward everyone involved based on their merits. However, the players were happy and Sugou Nobuyuki was not in a high mood, so he sent someone to send another communication crystal.
This does interrupt the joy of players.
"I have to praise you, you did a good job." When the changed voice of the Goblin King came again, many people gritted their teeth and looked angry.
Because this time it was a communication crystal, the other party could also hear his own words. You Gu said directly: "You can't be proud for long, Goblin King! Under the dual search in reality and in the game, it is only a matter of time before your location and identity are locked!" "
Some players also hummed: "The guy hiding in the gutter has the ability to stand in front of us!"
“Oh?” Sugou Nobuyuki ignored the previous sentence and said in a flirtatious tone: “Is that so? You want to see me, then I’ll give you this opportunity!
But everyone in the strategy team won’t want to bully the few with more, right? Well, let me designate the two people who will ruin my plan—Asuna and Ji Xing! "
The players' expressions froze.
Kirito's expression changed even more: "Asuna..."
"Keep this communication crystal. In three days, I will tell you two how to see me. You must come in two people. If I find that others are following you, or you don't come, I will still tell you the truth about the Mysterious Tower. Spread the word!”
Communications were cut off, and one player banged the table in annoyance, looking at each other with gloomy expressions.
“It’s really unpleasant to be threatened by such a bastard, why not just let him pass it on as he pleases!”
The words of the spirit are just the words of the spirit. Even the players in the strategy group will be confused when they know the truth. It is even more of a disaster for the low and middle-level players!
Are you threatened by him?
Many people looked at Asuna.
No one had any extra thoughts about the other party naming Asuna and Ji Xing. Ji Xing will definitely take first credit for this incident, and there is no problem that Asuna will take second credit for her previous speech at the meeting.
It's normal to want to take revenge on the two of them for this.
And there are exactly two copies of the immortal disease species left!
what to do? This is too dangerous!
Kirito knew what kind of choice Asuna would make, and wished he could take his own life. He was filled with worry, and looked at Ji Xing, the other person who was named, and was suddenly startled.
“Brother Ji Xing isn’t here?”
Argo said: "He said that he is a life player and does not want to participate in this kind of situation. He asked me to help him get some benefits..."
Yeah, even if Asuna is going, there's no reason to let Ji Xing go, right? He is a life player, an intelligence player... Some players who have been in contact with Ji Xing in the past ten days have had this thought, and then they think about it and find it strange.
“...Let’s take a long-term view first.”
At the same time, Ji Xing was standing in the teleportation tower with his hands in his pockets, saying: "Teleportation, level 10!"
The principle of communication crystal is a divine word, and it cannot be used indiscriminately. People will follow the phone line and come to your door.
The progress of ability development in these 10 days has been good. Sometimes it is necessary to apply it and fight in practice, but it is not worth it to be delayed by a dirty thing and affect your mood. Just go and kill it.
His figure disappeared into the tower.
…
Level 10, secret base.
Sugou Nobuyuki breathed heavily to calm his fast and active heartbeat.
"I invite a fight, there is no way out! But I have the upper hand, and I will win!"
“It’s a pity that we can’t call Kirito or Yuuki Koichiro. It’s too dangerous to deal with him and Asuna at the same time. We can’t let him see all that with his own eyes!”
"But Ji Xing can do it, he has the health bar ability, the **** who ruined my plan!" He smiled crazily and said: "Speaking of which, it's really a good ability. If he is forced to use it on Asuna, won't it matter no matter what? Playing with Asuna won't hurt her beauty?! Jiehehehe..."
As various harmonious pictures rolled through his mind, Nobuyuki Sugou's expression became more and more wretched, until he heard the base door open with a bang.
“It has to be you. I really didn’t expect this direction of ability development.”
Tall stature, rich voice.
Sugou Nobuyuki's expression suddenly changed: "You?!"
“Let’s light up the health bar and enter the duel mode.”
Two health bars appeared, and Ji Xing's body instantly pressed in front of Nobuyuki Sugou! There was no time to react, no time to do anything. As Ji Xing raised his knee, Nobuyuki Sugou's face was extremely distorted, and his figure flew into the air and fell to the ground!
The pain was so extreme that I couldn't scream.
Ji Xing’s ‘Ji Fei Dan Beat’ attack directly knocked the wind out of Sugou Nobuyuki’s back!
After a long while, he lay on the ground and started to cry out with fear and pain. He covered his vitals with his hands and kept rolling on the ground!
Ji Xingli stood beside him and said, "Don't be afraid, you already said that after I use the bright blood bar, I won't leave any scars no matter how I play with my opponent.
It's not broken yet. I can't break it even if I try ten times harder. You've only lost 5 points of blood. Slow down, hold on tight, I'm controlling the power, we can play again 19 times...I'll do it. "
Bang!
“Uh-oah ah ah ah rao uh-”
“18 more times.”
Bang!
“Woooooo—”
Sugou Nobuyuki fell into hell!
4k6, I wish everyone a happy Chinese Valentine's Day.
