Chapter 181 The Strongest Version

The original altar.

Wang Yu’s attribute panel was floating in front of Qi Sheng’s eyes.

Now Wang Yu’s flesh and blood have been completely devoured, and his body is a collection of immortal viruses that have multiplied from the immortal virus devouring Wang Yu’s flesh and blood.

Normally, the Immortality Virus would re-edit living cells during the infection process.

The originally sophisticated signal transmission network between neurons will be destroyed and reshaped by the virus, including the tampering of neuronal functions. The neural pathways originally used to produce cognitive functions such as self-awareness, emotion, and memory will be modified to form a reflex loop dominated by the virus.

This reflex circuit causes the infected to respond only to specific stimuli, such as the smell and temperature of fresh flesh and blood, which is a source of energy that the virus craves.

So the virus causes the infected to attack other lives in order to spread and grow.

But the individual's own cognition has already disappeared in the process of infection.

The behavior patterns of immortal zombies are not based on the consciousness of life itself, but on the "instructions" set by the virus to continue itself.

From the perspective of consciousness, the self-awareness of the infected person has disappeared, and the body is controlled by the immortal virus.

But this is the process of normal life being infected with the immortality virus and turning into an immortal zombie.

As a player, Wang Yu is protected by the purification rule, one of the four cornerstone rules. The power that erodes his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness will be wiped out in an instant.

In other words, although the virus killed Wang Yu, it failed to take away control of this body.

Wang Yu's body is now a collection of flesh and blood formed by the virus devouring him, but his consciousness is still the same as before.

This will also be displayed in the attribute panel: Immortal status.

In the special mode, although Wang Yu's physical fitness is enhanced, the laws and structure of life operation have changed.

In this mode, the player controls the virus, so he can no longer use the soul characteristics in the star vein slot. Secondly, because the body has not been purified, he cannot return to the Dizhong Village space.

Players in the immortal state can choose to be directly decomposed by the rules of extraction of all things and return to the Emperor's Tomb Village to be reshaped.

You can also choose to continue living in an immortal state.

It is equivalent to the player having an extra life with weakened combat power.

However, the physical attribute enhancement brought by the immortal virus is only suitable for melee players. After being infected, the mental strength of magic players will be weakened to 0, and they will not be able to use magic souls, so their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened.

Qi Sheng's attention now turned to the player forum.

At this time, the forum has already started a heated discussion on the "immortal state".

[The situation is a bit outrageous. It all started when I was infected with the Immortal Virus. ]

Host: Overlord Fish
Contents:

The end of the world is approaching. Everyone is desperately looking for weapons, stockpiling supplies, and preparing for a decisive battle with zombies. However, I, who was infected with the virus, unexpectedly awaken and become the king of zombies.

In the apocalyptic environment, human civilization is crumbling like a candle in the wind.

Should I continue to strive to maintain my humanity, or in this new world where the strong prey on the weak, go further and further down the path of becoming the Zombie King until I build my own immortal empire?
Human nature? Animal nature? Which way should I go?

Sorry, I got the wrong script. I'll change it and continue.

The specific situation is this: our Doomsday Technology Guild accidentally discovered an underground mine while testing a mining robot...

As a result, my arm came into contact with the immortality virus, which eventually turned me into an immortal state, or an immortal zombie.

In this state, one cannot use soul abilities, nor can one return to the Teizuka Village space.

Only after the second death can you enter the small dark room to revive and cool down.

I think this thing has a lot of room for development. Everyone usually complains about the resurrection cooldown setting, but now we finally have the opportunity to have two lives.

(Video attachment, property panel screenshot.)
Comment area:
Aba Aba: It's useless. What can we magic players do after we become immortal zombies? Stand at the back and applaud our teammates?
Go with the Flow: It seems to be more suitable for melee players, but after seeing you rolling on the ground in pain in the video, I think melee players may not necessarily use it. In comparison, stone statue players who are injured every day have stronger pain tolerance and are more suitable for them to use. They can get up and fight again after death.

Like a dream: The immortality virus has been sent to our Pharmacist Guild. The side effects will be dealt with by our Pharmacist Guild. We will then sell you the immortality potion that will allow you to undergo painless corpse transformation. We are currently developing a dual anesthetic that affects both the physical and mental levels. If the development is successful, the gene seeds and immortality potions will surely sell well in the future. I have already seen a lot of income from the sacrifice power.

Night is Coming: If pharmacists can really develop mental anesthetics, the immortality virus will be a must-have for melee fighters. When your health is almost at the bottom, take a strong dose of medicine and transform into an immortal zombie to continue fighting. No matter how much improvement it can bring, living one more minute is a good thing.

This beaver: Good, good, there are more and more ways to play, even the zombie style has appeared. I can already imagine the scene of various schools flying and hiding in the ground in a few years. You guys are really good at playing.

……

The emergence of the Immortal Virus sparked heated discussions on the forum.

During this period, the Pharmacist Guild also decided to invest more manpower in the research and development of the Immortality Virus at the request of forum players.

Through guidance, players have learned that the infection of the Immortal Virus is only effective for life below level 85. Life strength above that can easily resist the Immortal Virus.

The body of a melee player at this stage is like a furnace of blood and energy, and the immortal virus simply cannot survive in the body of a melee player.

But this problem can be solved by the Pharmacists Guild.

They can continue research and development to allow the Immortality Virus to continue evolving.

It is also possible to develop psychotropic drugs to completely eliminate the side effects of the immortality virus and genetic drugs.

In the eyes of players, there is only one side effect of props, and that is pain.

Other than the pain, the side effects are not threatening. Even if the body rots and one dies after the infection, it is not a problem as long as it does not hurt.

The people who are most happy about the appearance of Immortal Virus are undoubtedly melee players.

In the words of the players on the forum: We players finally have our own plague-related troops.

During this period, a video released by a monster player once again sparked heated discussion.

In the video attached to the post, players who choose the monster growth route take the initiative to go to the underground cave to be infected with the immortal virus.

His fighting power suddenly soared and he transformed into an immortal giant snake.

The characteristic of the monster flow is to improve combat power through attributes and crush the opponent with physical strength.

No extra resources will be spent on Star Vein combinations.

After being infected and strengthened, the already powerful attributes became even more terrifying, and the size of the snake also increased by nearly twice.

Practice has proved that monster players are the most suitable for the Immortal Virus, and they have unexpectedly received a major boost in this version.

As for whether there are other ways to play, players are still developing and exploring.

At the same time, the fierce battle in the underground space continued.

The Arms Dealers Guild is not a combat guild after all. The strength of the immortal zombies in the lower space has been significantly improved. These were once elite warriors of the Guili Clan. There are also several immortal zombies whose combat power far exceeds that of other similar zombies.

Faced with the difficulty of advancing into the underground space, the Arms Dealers Guild chose to request assistance from the presidents of several large guilds.

A real natural disaster soon swept across the underground space.

The entire underground space is like an ant nest, with passages crisscrossing like a spider web, spreading deep into the earth, like an intricate maze.

The attacking army of players kept splitting up in the underground space, and the rooms they encountered along the way could not escape the players' destruction.

Not to mention the bottles and jars, even the Guili tribe's cesspools have to be stirred with a stick to see if there are any treasures hidden inside.

Fifth floor, sixth floor, seventh floor... As the number of players entering the underground space increases, the speed of advancing into the lower space gradually increases.

The combat power of the Arms Dealer Guild is simply not enough in front of the combat players.

Normally, weapons purchased from the Arms Dealer Guild are used as auxiliary tools, and the Soul is the player's strongest weapon.

The average level of arms dealers is low, and the elite monsters in their eyes are just slightly stronger ordinary monsters in the eyes of combat players, and can be easily dealt with by a small team.

On the third day of exploring the underground space, the main players saw the sixth generation of original monsters imprisoned and blocked in the deepest part of the underground.

It is shaped like a white deer with an elegant posture, and its body is covered with a layer of fluff that seems to be woven by moonlight, sparkling with soft silver light.

The antlers are not made of ordinary bones, but are carved from colorful crystals. Dreamy colors flow between the branches, just like a rainbow condensed in the sky.

After discovering the player, the chirping sound it makes is like the sound of nature, and its eyes are like deep pools, revealing tranquility in the azure blue.

Qiyuan's body was tightly entangled by rune chains and could not move.

After a long period of imprisonment, when Prayer faced the player's attack, a look of relief appeared in his eyes.

Soon, the reminder of the shelter prayer sounded in the minds of all players.

[Challenger Tips (All Channels): Congratulations to the player team for successfully containing the sixth-generation original monster "Wish". The team players will share a sacrifice power reward of 10 and obtain x15 Wish Souls (given to the top 15 players according to their kill contributions)]

【Prayer (Sixth Generation Genchu)】:
Introduction to Soul Characteristics: Completing the target wish will gain plastic energy "willpower", which can be used to strengthen the body forging level or put on the trading line. The willpower can also be used to increase the wish level and unlock the wish skills.

As the containment notice sounded, a lively white deer appeared in containment wall No. 44 under Tezuka Village.

Players who are into strategy also flocked to the test tower to test the functions of the new soul.

……

Upon hearing the prompt, Dark Night, who was already in the test space, decisively called out the Soul Library.

Among the souls listed above, there was one more soul ball with a white deer faintly visible inside. After he initialized his body, he dragged the "prayer soul" into the first star vein slot.

Suddenly countless information was imprinted in my mind.

But what surprised him was that the improvement in the level of the wishing soul could only bring about an improvement in the strength of the mental power, and it had no usable properties.

However, the Wish Soul has its own additional growth system, which needs to be improved by consuming wish power.

The first level of wishing requires 3000 points of wish power to unlock.

There was no restriction in this regard in the test space, so he modified his wish power by 1 million.

Immediately, the skill information appeared in my mind.

[Wish Level 1: Wish (Unlocked at 3000 Wish Power)]

Skill introduction: Release a wish to the target, increase the target's luck value in the monster world, lasting for 32 hours.

In Heiye's opinion, this ability seems to be the same as the two souls of Good Luck and Great Luck. The enhanced attribute effect cannot be presented through any testing method.

But it can be used with souls like "Infinity" that require luck.

At least at this stage, no effective way of using it has been developed.

He then consumed 3 points of willpower and unlocked the second skill of prayer.

[Wish Level 2: Moonlight Cocoon Protection (30000 Wish Power)]

Skill introduction: Holy silver light shines on the designated target, wrapping the target in a soft energy cocoon. The cocoon can accelerate wound healing and resist external damage (the specific effect is affected by the level of the wished soul and the strength of one's own mental power).

After generating a template dummy, Night switches to the original form of the wisher, transforming into a white deer.

Set the dummy's health to 10%, adjust the parameters to set it to a seriously injured state, and then release Moonlight Cocoon Protection on it.

Suddenly, the moonlight fluff on its body burst into dazzling light, and the holy silver light rolled towards the low-health dummy like a surging tide, quickly wrapping it in a soft cocoon of light, forming a tough shield.

Subsequent tests found that the Moonlight Cocoon Protection can not only effectively resist physical and spiritual attacks, but also create a weak healing space inside. Under the protection of the light cocoon released by the level 100 Prayer Soul, the dummy's originally bloody wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. The broken flesh gradually stuck together, and the broken bones and tendons were slowly repaired.

The effect makes Night is Coming feel quite surprising.

This is actually the healing skill that players need most at this stage, but compared to healing, the strongest effect is still generating a defensive barrier.

Compared to the light shield that can only defend against physical and elemental attacks, the moonlight cocoon protection that comes with the Prayer Soul can also resist the effects of mental shock.

Then pray for the third wish to unlock the skill.

[Wish Level 3: Bell Sound Star Healing (Unlocked with 30 Wish Power)]

Skill introduction: Play healing music, release silver starlight to merge into the injured person's body, and dispel all kinds of negative states on the target.

The skill test effect makes Night is Coming feel surprising.

At this stage, players have limited means to fight against negative states. The only effective soul is the Unyielding Spirit, which is suitable for melee players and is only effective for oneself.

But Lingyin Xingyu is a long-range designated skill.

It can dispel negative states from a long distance, allowing melee players to have an extra star vein slot that can be embedded. It is definitely a magical skill for auxiliary players.

This is followed by a test of the fourth skill.

[Wish Level 4: Calla Lily Flow (Unlocked with 300 million wishes)]

Skill introduction: Release a soft energy curtain to cover the surrounding area, continuously injecting vitality into nearby life, allowing the injured to quickly recover to their best condition and fully heal their injuries.

The effect of this skill is that a starlight is generated above the head, and fine rain is sprinkled, and all injured players within the coverage area can be healed.

The most powerful part is that the skill can also provide accelerated mental power recovery effect for nearby players.

In other words, this is a double healing skill.

The health bar and blue bar are restored synchronously.

In the eyes of Darkness Is Coming, it is simply a magical skill among magical skills.

Prayer level 5, prayer level 6…

There are 10 wish skills in total, and each skill has surprises.

After the review, Dark Night is Coming posted his strategy guide on the player forum.

The test results caused the entire forum to explode.

The wish turned out to be the nurse-type soul that players always dreamed of.

She is not just a nurse with a single healing attribute, but a nurse with a full set of auxiliary skills.

Barrier protection, single-target healing, group healing, dispelling negativity, aura amplification, single-target amplification...all the abilities players need can be found in the 10 levels of wishes.

The most important thing is that this soul only occupies one star vein slot.

Compared to high-level souls such as Infinity (sixth generation), Godhead (seventh generation), and Lord (sixth generation), which seem to have high generation levels but have poor practicality at this stage, the strength of Prayer is simply superb.

More importantly, this is a non-special soul. As long as you have the power of sacrifice, you can purchase and inlay it in the soul library.

Both squad players and battle group players realized how much exaggerated combat power and endurance the appearance of this soul would bring to their side.

As the number of strategy posts increases, the newly contained wish will quickly debut in version T0 Soul Throne.

Even in the soul strength score, it surpassed the Breath-Eating Soul that has dominated the list until now, becoming the strongest in the current version.

But the intensity was met, and new problems arose.

The level upgrade of the Wish Soul is divided into two systems.

The first is the soul level improvement brought by evolution points obtained through hunting, but if you want to unlock skills, you have to obtain willpower.

So, how do we obtain the power of vows?
The forum was in an uproar, with a large number of posts discussing the acquisition of willpower appearing.

Several large guilds decisively raised funds to purchase the "Wish" soul for the main auxiliary players in the guild.

However, the conditions for obtaining the power of vows are extremely harsh.

The power of will can only be obtained through the desire to complete the goal.

A player with a wishing soul posted on the forum, hoping to fulfill everyone's wishes.

The results were all the same: Boss, please transfer some of my flowers to me, my output is amazing.

If you want to gain power from players, they will really treat you like a pig.

The amount of willpower gained is affected by the intensity of the target's desire and the target's own strength.

The players' strength and desire are totally mismatched.

Although the players are currently standing at a low level, they already have the ambition to enter the world-class battlefield.

If they want to accomplish their goals, they have to make high sacrifices.

Faced with such a powerful soul, there is no channel to obtain the power of wishes, which makes many players who have the wishing soul crazy.

It's like guarding a mountain of gold but not being able to open the key to gain wealth.

During the exploration process, many ideas were tried out.

But neither approach is feasible.

This means that it is difficult for players to generate willpower internally and they can only obtain it from external channels.

During this period, some players discovered that after embedding the wishing soul and going to the fighting soul arena, they could obtain increasing wish power benefits with each victory and advancement.

But this model is simply not capable of mass-producing willpower.

The price of willpower in the trading house has reached 10 points of sacrifice power for 1 point of willpower, but it is still in short supply.

All major guilds want to equip a powerful player with a Soul of Wish, and they are willing to spend a lot of money to build one.

Just when players are troubled by how to obtain power of wishes.

A post appeared that brought hope:
[Regarding the acquisition of willpower, I will give you a completely feasible method. ]

As the saying goes, those who plant trees will enjoy the shade.

As an exploration player, I was very interested in the background story of the monster world. I asked for guidance and learned detailed background information about the underground space of the Guili tribe.

Finally got some good news.

There is a space teleportation array on the 16th floor of the underground space. It was built by the Guili tribe in order to obtain the power of will. The small world has become a doomsday world where zombies are rampant, so why don’t the brothers who want the power of will go to the doomsday small world and save the people in the name of the savior?
