Chapter 586: Muscle
"belch!"
After eating, he couldn't help but let out a loud, indistinct belch.
The satiety of this thing is frighteningly strong.
He now felt that what he had eaten was not a piece of apple-sized pulp, but ten solid pieces of rye bread.
After taking the fruit pulp, a special system prompt immediately appeared in front of Zong Shen.
[Consume the special power fruit, strength +50]
After the clear prompt appeared, Zong Shen's eyes suddenly lit up.
This is a full 50 points of strength attribute. If you want to have so many attribute points by upgrading, you need to upgrade to level 50!
Zong Shen's current level is LV30, and going up to level 50 would be a big deal!
The highest level guy he has seen so far is the LV55 Lion Skeleton Knight Richardson.
Thinking about level LV80 is like a dream.
Enough to make him meet the entry conditions for all unique title "copies".
Even the big guys among the aboriginal people may not be able to reach this level!
Even if the lords have a clear experience value system, the experience value required to reach LV80 is still a terrifying number.
But now, he can directly increase his attributes by 50 points just by eating a piece of fruit!
When something like this actually happened, Zong Shen's heart was not only filled with sighs, but also with joy.
The additional 50 points of strength brought his strength attribute to 233 points.
The health value has also reached 1972 points, approaching the 2000 point mark.
Now that the blood volume of lords generally hovers around three or four hundred points, Zong Shen's health volume can be called a humanoid monster!
This is a situation that other lords can hardly imagine!
Just when Zong Shen took a look at his attributes and felt relieved.
His right hand suddenly lost control.
The big arms visible to the naked eye have expanded at least three times!
It became as thick as a bucket.
The forearm is still the same as before, which makes his arm look weird and deformed.
The swelling of the arm was accompanied by unspeakable pain.
"Uh-huh..."
Zong Shen couldn't help but scream in pain, but immediately suppressed it.
"hiss…"
While looking at the deformed and swollen arms, he tried to suppress the pain in his body.
At this moment, Zong Shen felt that every inch of his muscles was being torn apart.
This feeling was so clear and terrifying that it seemed to directly affect the nerves.
It is many times more painful than being hit by a knife or an ax in battle.
Symptoms of muscle loss began to appear, and Zong Shen found that his right arm seemed to have lost feeling, as if the limb no longer existed.
This feeling made him very insecure.
It also made Zong Shen feel as if he had lost a limb.
This was not over yet, the deformed limbs began to move abnormally.
It swung out of control and hit the table hard.
With Zong Shen's strength attributes, if this blow were to hit the target, the long table would probably be broken into pieces in one blow.
"hiss…"
"This is the only long table in my room..."
Zong Shen took a breath of cold air, cursed, stood up quickly, and turned around.
Let the swing of the distorted right arm fall into the air.
The furniture in the lord's fortress is still the same as that in the lord's small building.
It’s just that after each upgrade, the styles and specifications of these furniture will also change.
If it was destroyed, Zong Shen didn't know if it could be restored during the next upgrade.
He now knows how destructive the side effects of taking [Special Power Fruit] are.
Not only do limbs become deformed, but muscles can swell and tear.
The most outrageous thing is that the deformed limbs will lose control.
He didn't dare to sit down now.
Enduring the pain in his body, he stood in the empty space in the living room and carefully controlled his body to prevent his deformed right arm from touching anything.
After half an hour like this, the distortion in his right arm gradually disappeared, the pain decreased, and he regained control of his limbs.
But the muscles in the back swelled again.
The muscles from the shoulder blades to the back suddenly swelled several times.
It burst out of the linen underwear.
Fortunately, [Limo Armor (Red)], as a suit of armor, can adjust its shape within a certain range, and will not be stretched out by the muscles, nor will it be constrained to the point that the muscles swell.
Just in case, Zong Shen simply took off all his equipment.
It would be terrible if the next thing happened to the legs or some unspeakable part.
Non-suit protective gear worn on the body may not automatically adjust its shape.
Out of caution, he took off all his equipment.
At this time, Zong Shen's back muscles were bulging, and his skin was stretched thin. You could clearly see the spiderweb-like capillaries under the skin.
Zong Shen has been enduring pain, and these two hours are destined to be difficult and long for him.
But for these 50 points of strength attribute, all the patience is worth it.
In addition to enduring the pain, he also had to be careful to guard against possible damage caused by loss of muscle control.
…
An hour and a half later.
It's starting to get dark outside.
Outside the east tower, the sky in the distance exudes a blue-white halo.
Zong Shen fell to the ground sweating profusely.
Looking at the prompts that appeared in front of him, he showed a tired smile.
[Complete taking the special power fruit]
[Fixed strength gain]
Obviously, enduring the side effects caused by the fruit is also a step in taking it.
It's a rough but not fatal experience.
It was already past five o'clock in the morning.
It will get brighter in less than an hour.
In the past two hours, he had experienced deformation of his right arm, spine, hips, and left leg.
After each distortion, the muscles in the corresponding parts will always tremble or even move automatically. This feeling is very strange.
In addition to the pain, Zong Shen's ability to control the muscles of his body improved a lot after undergoing this process.
He found that he could control the concentration of power in a certain area.
After concentrating the power, the strength, power, and defense capabilities of the corresponding parts can be greatly improved.
But accordingly, the body's overall responsiveness and strength will decrease.
Zong Shen vividly called this process "charging".
Specific testing is needed to know the improvement effect of "charge".
This change has nothing to do with skills, it is completely a situation that Zong Shen discovered on his own after taking the [Special Power Fruit].
The "charged" part will swell obviously to the naked eye.
At this stage, his ability to move and react will decline.
This shows that the power is not increased, but simply transferred.
Zong Shen didn't know if this was a sequelae caused by the power fruit.
Fortunately, he can control this situation independently.
For this reason, he also asked about the strategy module.
The answer is simple.
(This is a good thing)
He shook his head and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, preparing to test the "charging" status when he was free.
This situation does not fall into the category of skills, and there is no clear data panel.
But this also means that as long as Zong Shen masters its function, there will be no cooling constraints.
He can try to strengthen his legs to see if he will have stronger running ability.
It can also strengthen the arms for testing attacks and throwing.
These can be discussed later, what he needs most now is rest.
"call…"
Zong Shen exhaled a long breath, stood up slowly, and put away all the equipment.
He could feel the muscles all over his body aching.
For example, muscle lactic acid accumulates after excessive exercise.
He hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time.
"It seems that my body is not a paper man..."
Zong Shen looked down at the strong body.
His linen underwear had become tattered and soaked with sweat.
In this semi-digitized world, Zong Shen has always had an unreal feeling.
This feeling gradually decreases as the time of arrival increases.
Initially, this feeling came from after the body was injured, as long as the blood volume was restored, the injury could be restored.
The meaning of the number blood volume actually exceeds the physical state itself.
Secondly, there is another very important reason, that is, after semi-digitization, the comprehensive state of the body becomes a numerical value defined by several clear attributes.
This made Zong Shen once think that he had become a semi-virtual paper man after his arrival.
But just now he endured physical pain and improved his muscle control.
The virtual feeling suddenly decreased a lot.
At least he can be sure that his body still belongs to him!
Zong Shen panted slightly and left the lord's fortress.
Entered the hot spring cabin and took a dip.
She put on a piece of linen underwear again.
After walking out of the hot spring hut, the muscle soreness had eased a lot.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter.
"I need to get some sleep before noon..."
"I won't read a book today..."
“Special circumstances receive special treatment!”
He looked up at the sky and decided it would be best to sleep for a while.
At twelve o'clock at noon, the third round of heat wave challenge will begin.
In order to meet the challenge, he must ensure that he is in good condition.
After muttering a few words to himself, he re-entered the tower of the lord's fortress.
In the open space outside the fortress, he saw the blood wolf Gugat holding a spear and practicing his fighting skills.
It took off its black iron-blooded battle armor and visor.
Revealing a head of dreadlocks and a four-petal mouth with fangs.
The body of the blood wolf Gugat is strong, without any fat, and full of the beauty of strength.
The only thing that violates the rules is the four-petal mouth.
There was an obvious horizontal scar on its forehead, and its pupils were gray-black.
The skin has gray cuticles like fish scales.
In terms of appearance alone, there are obvious differences between this guy and humans.
And as a warrior from another dimension, Zong Shen hoped that it would be best not to reveal its true appearance in front of the natives.
Otherwise there may be trouble.
However, the fighting skills of Blood Wolf Gugat are indeed very high.
Every blow is crisp and clean, without any unnecessary movement.
The cleaner the attack method means the fewer flaws and less physical consumption.
Real fighting and fighting do not require fancy tricks.
Compared with Zong Shen, a ruthless man who only knows how to chop and chop, Blood Wolf Gujiat can definitely be regarded as a senior warrior with superb skills.
The steel spear in its hand is like the backbone of a fish. When tightened, it becomes a spear. When loosened, the iron braid can be folded and shrunk.
The entire steel-framed spear made a whirring sound as it was swung.
When stabbing, it can also emit a small-scale "sonic boom".
However, it seems that in order to take care of everyone's rest, it has deliberately reduced the practice of stabbing movements.
"The clan leader."
When the blood wolf Gugat saw Zong Shen coming, he immediately stopped practicing.
With a flick of his wrist, he turned the steel spear in a circle and then slammed it on the ground.
He nodded slightly to Zong Shen.
"Gugat, the territory has a special warrior training ground."
"You can go there and train."
Zong Shen smiled slightly and raised his hand to point to the south of the Lord's Fortress, which is the direction of the training ground. As long as you enter the training ground for training, you can gain a certain amount of experience points.
This benefit is not available from training outside.
"And I think it's better for you to wear the armor."
"The armored state is the state closest to actual combat."
After listening to Zong Shen's words, Blood Wolf Gugat immediately looked south.
He hammered his chest with his other hand and answered seriously.
"Lord Clan Leader, I understand."
"However, as your personal guard, I don't want to leave you too far."
It actually rejected Zong Shen's proposal.
I have to say that the sense of responsibility and the spirit of warrior honor of the Predator have really penetrated into the bone marrow.
But Zong Shen waved his hand, walked quickly to his side and patted Gujiat on the shoulder.
This guy is nearly two meters tall, a head taller than Zong.
However, Zong Shen was not afraid of it.
Now his strength attribute reaches 233 points.
It surpassed Gugat by nearly 100 points.
The gap in attributes between the two sides is still very obvious.
However, the blood wolf Gujiat is blessed with fighting skills, so it is not necessarily accurate to measure its combat effectiveness based on attributes alone.
"Don't worry about me, just meet here before noon."
"I don't think you'd be able to meet warriors from this world in the training ground."
Zong Shen said in a relaxed tone.
After his second emphasis, Blood Wolf Gugat finally agreed to go to the warrior training ground.
This is because it has a strong interest in what Zong Shen calls "the warriors of this world."
There are now two [Level 4 Comprehensive Training Grounds] in the territory.
In a little while, it will be time for the soldiers to do morning exercises, and then the blood wolf Gugat will be able to compete with the warriors in the territory.
But based on his attributes, even an average fifth-level warrior might not be able to beat him.
But it is always a good thing to let Gugat run in with other fighters first.
In addition, it can be regarded as providing it with an opportunity to accumulate experience.
After all, Endless Continent is not a technological world.
The warriors here have skills and attribute settings.
Gurgat must gradually get used to the life and fighting in this world before he can unleash his combat power.
After Zong Shen nodded, Gujiat put on the armor without saying a word.
The Predator clan is like this. They are extremely strict in respecting superiors and inferiors, but they don't have too many polite words.
After getting dressed, it followed Zong Shen's instructions and walked towards the south.
The [Comprehensive Training Ground] occupies a large area and is one of the most eye-catching landmark buildings south of the central circle. I believe Gugat will be able to find it smoothly.
It doesn't matter if it can't be found. Zong Shen hopes it has more contact with the people.
After all, they are warriors from another dimension. Even after the data transformation of the lord system, they are still very different from the aborigines of this world. The sooner they get used to it, the sooner they can exert their due combat effectiveness.
Zong Shen watched the blood wolf Gugat leave, then stepped onto the steps and returned to the lord's fortress.
No one got up at this time.
It is estimated that I will start to get up after half past six.
Zong Shen went directly to the second floor, came to the door of his bedroom, opened the door and walked in.
Luna was still sleeping soundly, breathing evenly.
The open space in the bedroom carries a sweet fragrance.
Zong Shen stood by the bed and touched his chin. Looking at Luna who was sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.
Speaking of which, Luna has obviously become a lot sleepier recently.
It turns out that Luna only needs to sleep for two or three hours every night, and spends more time bathing in the moonlight.
Previously, Zong Shen thought it was due to the arrival of winter and the drop in temperature.
But after the winter challenge ended, Luna was still sleepy.
The amount of sleep I get every day even exceeds my own.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Luna's face.
View her detailed attributes.
Everything is normal in the property.
Not only have the attributes not declined, but they have also improved slightly.
However, in the summary of the tips of the strategy module at the end, there are two intriguing words.
(Congratulations)
"Congratulations?"
Zong Shen repeated it subconsciously.
"Why do you want to congratulate me?"
(The time has not come yet, something tells you that you can only do whatever you want. During this period, please be sure to protect Luna)
The strategy module rarely sells out.
This made Zong Shen even more confused.
After standing by the bed and staring for a moment, he finally suppressed his curiosity.
He leaned over and kissed Luna's forehead, then returned to the bed on the other side and lay down directly on it.
No matter what, let’s sleep for a few hours first.
Mariel and Vereesa both understood his casual routine.
If we don't see him at eight o'clock, we will each go about our own business.
Zong Shen planned to wait until he woke up before explaining the task to them.
"yawn…"
He yawned slowly, reached out and grabbed Luna's smooth arm under the quilt, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and soon fell into sleep.
Not long after, Luna opened her eyes on the pillow.
Her eyes were shining and not tired at all.
He tilted his head and looked at Zong Shen's face.
"I firmly believe that the final destiny will be rewritten..."
"I...no...we will definitely see the final light."
Luna said softly, like talking to herself, but also like a confession.
In the ending of doomed death, there will always be someone who will become the sharp blade that cuts off the cycle.
She firmly trusts Zong Shen and is willing to travel to mountains and seas for him.
"Tasia, Aysia, Madeleine, Mapel, Lord Vereesa, Mariel, Uncle Dwarf, Colby, Farvid..."
"We will accompany and witness your rise..."
Her voice is gentle.
Zong Shen, who was asleep, slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
