Chapter 98 Pure Body, Absolute Control
1. Life recovery:
Description: Your life force is exceptionally stabilized, allowing you to return even in death. Effect: Maximum health is increased by 15%, and upon receiving fatal damage, there is a low chance to trigger an "Immortal Saving" (immunity to the fatal attack and instant recovery of 20% of maximum health). Long cooldown.
P.S.: I'm back from hell!
2. Life Stealing:
Description: Your self-healing ability has been transformed into an offensive one; the enemy's life is your life.
Effect: When you deal damage to an enemy, you can steal a portion of the target's life energy (based on a certain percentage of the damage dealt) to restore your own health. This effect does not apply to inanimate objects.
P.S.: Kid, didn't your parents tell you not to absorb life force that isn't your own? —Legendary Dragon Gorkrik [3. Pure Body:]
Description: You have cleansed your body, and your body now rejects anything "abnormal" or "filthy."
Significantly increases resistance to negative status effects such as curses, corruption, mental pollution, and energy erosion, and has a chance to directly purify and dispel them.
P.S.: One of the body and the spirit must be pure, right? —Papal Lu Qingfeng quickly analyzed the various advantages and disadvantages of the abilities.
"Life Restoration provides higher health and an extra chance to survive, Vitality enhances the ability to sustain combat, and a Pure Body is effective against various insidious forms of soft control and high-level corruption."
"I now have the Yellow Millet Dream providing near-death protection, so avoiding death isn't an urgent need, and the probability of triggering it is too ridiculous."
"Life force plunder? There's too much overlap with the Feast, and it's not my own life force. Randomly absorbing it will cause problems. Most importantly, I can't absorb non-living things. How am I supposed to fight undead creatures?"
"And a pure body—"
The lingering resentment of the Yin spirit, the illusory sounds of ghosts and foxes, and the disordered echoes of history created a host of invisible threats that sent chills down Lu Qingfeng's spine. Moreover, given his current growth experience, he was certain that he might encounter even more bizarre beings in the future.
Without much hesitation, Lu Qingfeng made his choice.
A Pure Body!
[Confirm selection! You have gained the extraordinary physical bonus: Pure Body!]
A cool sensation instantly flowed through Lu Qingfeng's entire body, as if every cell had undergone a thorough purification.
Next, the additional ability selection panel for [Extraordinary Power] will appear:
Please choose one of the following three superhuman abilities:
[Hiking in the mountains:
Description: Your power contains a destructive quality, which you refine and elevate, ultimately unleashing this all-conquering force.
Effect: Attacks have a chance to cause "structural damage" to the target's armor, weapons, or defensive skills, temporarily and significantly reducing their durability/effect. Damage to non-living obstacles such as buildings, terrain, and barriers is greatly increased.
P.S.: Supernatural and bizarre!
2. Force Field Suppression:
Effect: Your power has grown so great that you can create an invisible force field that influences the surrounding environment. When activated, it can apply a continuous power suppression effect (slowing down, making it difficult to cast skills, etc.) to enemies within a certain range. The strength of this effect is related to your power attribute.
3. Absolute Control:
Description: Your control over your own power is perfect (above the level of microscopic control). Every bit of power in your hands can be used to its maximum potential. All skills that require power judgment have their costs reduced by 15% and their effects increased by 10%. You can control the amount of power output more precisely, avoiding unnecessary power waste and environmental damage.
P.S.: Clickbait title! Misleading name! Rating: Not as good as the partial size! — Lu Qingfeng, who got a pirated skill scroll, is once again in a dilemma.
Stepping on the mountain is another huge boost to my attack power. However, my destructive power is already a bit excessive. Destroying a mountain is no longer a problem.
Force field suppression, an alternative domain? Useless, useless. In this amount of time, we could have killed the opponent several times over!
Absolute control? That seems like a good idea! It could perfectly compensate for the lack of dominance caused by the immense power of the Feast.
[Confirm selection! You have gained the extraordinary power bonus: Absolute Control!]
A feeling of perfect ease and complete satisfaction welled up inside me.
Lu Qingfeng tried to rub out a wisp of qi and blood from his fingertips, and then tried to subdivide this wisp of qi and blood into ten smaller wisps—after playing with it for a while, he realized just how abnormally powerful his control was now.
Using the adjustment brought about by this control over his body, Lu Qingfeng quickly corrected the unease that had previously arisen due to the enhancement of his various abilities.
After a long while, Lu Qingfeng, who had finished his seclusion, accessed the management privileges of the Echo World.
[Adjust time flow rate? Current: 1 day in the present world = 1 day in the afterlife]
"Adjust to the highest setting; 1 day in the present world equals 3 days of remnant energy."
[Command confirmed. Time flow rate adjusted to 1:3. This state consumes 50 Disaster Coins per hour. Continue?]
"Activate it, maintain it for 7 days first." This amount of consumption is more than enough for Lu Qingfeng, who possesses a huge amount of Disaster Coins (439,861 coins).
[The flow of time has changed, and is continuously consuming Disaster Coins —]
The pale light of the afterglow seemed to move a little faster in the world of reverberation, but the overall atmosphere remained deathly still.
Lu Qingfeng didn't rush to leave the echoing sound. Instead, he took out several materials he had obtained from the previous dungeon from his inventory: [Military Blood Crystal] and [Historical Dust].
"I wonder if Feast can digest all this? I remember the big worms aren't picky eaters."
Picking up a dark red [Military Blood Crystal] that seemed to contain a churning sea of blood, Lu Qingfeng activated his Feast talent.
A suction force was generated from within the body, causing the Military Fiend Blood Crystal to tremble slightly. The immense military formation aura and blood killing will contained within it were slowly drawn in and rapidly refined and absorbed.
[You absorbed "Military Blood Crystal" (legendary material) through the "Feast"!]
Your strength has received a slight increase! Your physique has received a slight increase!
[Your resistance to the baleful aura of military formations has been permanently and slightly increased!]
[The effect of the Battle Soul Imprint has been slightly enhanced!]
"It works! And the improvement is comprehensive, not just in attributes!" Lu Qingfeng's spirits lifted, and he immediately sent the remaining two Military Blood Crystals into the area below his philtrum.
As for "historical dust," that's not something you can eat.
[High concentration of historical dust odor detected — Matching — Match successful.]
[Your possession of 3 Historical Dust (purple material) can create a special resonance with the Echoing World.]
Should we consign it to the dustbin of history and give the "isolated city" its first major upgrade?
[Options for enhancement:]
【1. Stabilize Spacetime: Enhance world stability, reduce the risk of spacetime ripples under high time flow rates, and expand the adjustable flow rate range (1 day in the present world = 1-5 days in the reverberation space)】
[2. Enriched Ecosystem: Significantly improves the rate and quality of resource regeneration, with a chance to generate rare minerals and rare herbs, and introduces basic insects and small animal ecosystems.]
3. Unlock New Scene: Unlock another historical battle scene (random) besides "Battle of the Lone City".
】
The dust of history is a reward for echoes, and it can naturally be used to construct historical conjectures.
Regarding the direction of strengthening, Lu Qingfeng had already prepared a plan, and he chose option 1.
Time is power, and a more stable and efficient adjustment of the flow of time is crucial to his current growth. Resources can be accumulated slowly, and scenes can be unlocked later, but safe and ample training time is invaluable.
[Confirmed to have invested 3 pieces of historical dust, enhancement direction: stabilizing spacetime]
Three gray dust particles, exuding an aura of antiquity, flew out of the backpack and disappeared into the ground beneath their feet.
The entire world of echoes trembled slightly, the gray-white light seemed to brighten a little, the sense of stillness in the air lessened, and a touch of flowing vitality appeared.
No, the reinforcement was done too early.
"Online, is it still possible to adjust the time flow ratio to 1:5?"
[Special status assessment in progress — Available! Fee increased to 60 Disaster Coins/hour!]
"Okay, keep it running for now. I'm going back to the real world."
It was already evening outside. Lu Qingfeng took out the [Unbound Avatar] from his backpack, and with a slight thought, a surge of blood energy...
It was then injected into the silver-white mechanical hard drive in the palm of his hand.
Yes, although it's called the Eastern Side, it's actually a science fiction prop, just with some runes mixed in. Its function is simply to generate an intelligent puppet with low-level logic.
Even so, the price was not attractive, costing Lu Qingfeng a full 7 disaster coins.
The hard drive warmed slightly, and a soft white light flowed across its surface. A blurry figure slowly condensed from the light.
The figure was initially just a human-shaped cloud of light, but then its features and clothing quickly became clear, revealing it to be Lu Qingfeng of normal build.
His appearance, height, and build were exactly the same as Lu Qingfeng's, except that his eyes were a little dull and his aura was much weaker, with an average attribute level of only around 10.
After taking shape, it stood quietly in place, awaiting instructions.
"You'll stay here in the bookstore." Lu Qingfeng infused his avatar with some of the basic memories and behavioral logic about the daily operations of the bookstore, such as greeting customers and simple cleaning.
The avatar nodded slowly, a hint of liveliness appearing in its eyes. Although it was far inferior to the original, it was already able to engage in basic communication and responses.
Lu Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction. With this avatar staying behind, he could temporarily detach himself from his identity as the bookstore owner and seek more opportunities and resources for breakthroughs.
You could even come back and continue cosplaying as the shop manager after playing outside, squeezing some of Jolyne's resources, and ideally, using his evening gaming time for work.
At the same time, it can effectively cover up the suspicion that his frequent disappearances might arouse. After all, a boss who spends his days drinking tea, reading newspapers, and lounging around in a bookstore must be absolutely harmless.
"Then, I'll leave this to you."
On the other side—
Silently, the basement space rippled with barely perceptible waves.
The entire basement, including the teleportation array, was compressed into a primordial purple sphere, which Lu Qingfeng placed into the Echoes of History. Yes, the basement could be migrated.
If it weren't for some special items that would cost money to buy, Lu Qingfeng could actually just go anywhere and use the fully automatic basement generator to create another one.
However, now that there are lingering historical influences, naturally all of them have been taken away to save costs.
However, just in case, he also created a more hidden teleportation array on the ground. Even with a low-powered version of himself here, it would be good to be able to come back at any time in case of an emergency.
After dealing with these matters, Lu Qingfeng checked the bedroom again to make sure that no unusual items were left behind, and then cleaned it with the appropriate tools before he felt relieved.
He took one last look at this familiar space, activated his illusory body and made some modifications. Soon, an image completely unrelated to himself appeared in this world.
So, let's head towards that place that our intuition has been constantly instilling in us—
[Network notification: ■ Reveals a destined location, coordinates ————. This destiny will be reserved for the player for fourteen years, after which it will be redistributed.]
