Chapter 8 Targeting the Trigger Function

There were cries outside the door.

When I first entered the store, there were only three sickle owl larvae outside.

Now that dozens of minutes have passed, the situation is no longer clear.

Identified only by the sound, the number of larvae may only increase rather than decrease.

Fortunately, inspired by Chen Hai's words of "let one in", Lu Ming also had a clear plan to kill the larvae.

The door of the repair shop has two layers. The outer layer is a rolling shutter door that opens and closes up and down, and the inner layer is a glass door that opens and closes inside and outside.

If he opens the crack in the glass door to a size that the larvae can enter, then fixes it with a chain lock, and finally raises the rolling shutter door to the height where the larvae can enter.

A simple restricted door that allows only one sickle owl larvae to pass through at a time can be completed.

At that time, he would stand on a chair and lurk on the side of the glass door. Just waiting for the larvae to enter, he could use his own weight and falling inertia to insert the machete into the larvae's body, destroy the core body, and complete the kill.

Of course, this is a script that has been written. If you want it to be implemented so smoothly, you still have to consider whether there are any variables.

The most basic thing is the durability of the glass door.

If the larvae doesn't take the usual path and crashes indiscriminately, causing the glass door to break or collapse, then he will have to face an extremely dangerous situation.

However, time was not waiting for him, and he could not afford to look forward or backward, so he could only do it as soon as possible.

Use the screwdriver and wrench in the tool box to secure the glass door gap with a chain lock.

Take off a few data cables and twist them into a rope to cover the handle of the rolling shutter door.

After testing the endurance of the data cable rope and feeling that there was no problem, he moved a chair and stood above it, and forcefully opened the rolling shutter door to create a crack.

Wow!

Despite all his precautions, the grinding sound of the rolling shutter was still very prominent.

The crying outside the door suddenly stopped, followed by the clang of the rolling shutter door.

Misstep.

But he didn't want to back down. Anyway, no matter how hard he pulled, there would be a sound, so it was better to break the jar more decisively.

In order to prevent the collision from becoming more violent, Lu Ming struggled to pull the rolling shutter door to a height of half a meter, just enough for the larvae to enter.

In an instant, a pungent stench rushed in along with the fat larvae.

To be honest, even if he was mentally prepared, facing the alien species would still make his heart beat faster and his adrenal glands surge!

"Appraisal."

Holding his breath and shaking off the fear in his heart, Lu Ming silently opened the Eyes of Truth.

The first sickle owl larvae that rushed in had its weakness completely exposed. It was very cunning. It hid it at the bottom of its abdomen and stabbed from top to bottom. It was very close to the limit length of the machete. If you were not careful, you might not be able to touch it, so you need to make up for it. Knife handling.

But just do last hits, otherwise what else can you do? The doors are open and there is no way out.

After hesitating for half a second, Lu Ming lowered his sword, his whole weight pressing on the handle. There was a popping sound, and green body fluids splashed out. The blade was completely immersed in the larvae, and it accurately hit the light spot.

Click.

A crisp crackling sound reached the ears, the fat larva collapsed suddenly, and the alien creature that was full of vitality just now turned into a cold corpse in an instant.

An instant kill with one strike, no surprises, ordinary sword skills are quite impressive.

The epidermis is indeed fragile, but the fat is extremely thick, and the larvae have a subconscious instinct to avoid danger. The moment the blade penetrates, it is obvious that the friction increases sharply. It should be caused by squeezing the muscles. Fortunately, I used my full strength, otherwise it would have penetrated. When it is slightly blocked, the blade cannot touch the core body, and then it is the performance moment of the "arrogant" state larvae.

Pulling out the machete and bringing out the green bodily fluid, Lu Ming was thankful that he didn't rush to collect the body.

There are still three larvae squeezing in from behind. If the body of this larvae hadn't blocked it, the second larvae would have followed.

After taking a deep breath, Lu Ming stood on the leather chair again. While holding the machete tightly, he glanced at the machete information, and then took a breath.

Durability: 70/100

After killing only one larvae, the machete's durability dropped by 10 points!

what's the situation?

Could it be that the core body is located under the abdomen, and if it is stabbed straight through, it will pass through the stomach first, causing the blade to be corroded by the acidic gastric juice?

If this is the case, then the level of the machete must be upgraded quickly, otherwise it will be a big problem if there is no weapon at the back.

"collection!"

Locking on the corpse and chanting silently, the larvae corpse decomposed out of thin air, leaving only a thick yellow trace to prove its existence.

[Successfully collected sickle owl larvae corpses and obtained specialized crystal*1 and high-purity heterogeneous protein*1]

Very good. I was lucky. I got a specialized crystal. As for what the high-purity heterogeneous protein was, Lu Ming had no time to look at it because the second sickle owl larvae had already rushed in.

"Appraisal!"

The core body is exposed, this time it is still near the bottom of the abdomen. Is it different as promised? Does it matter if it's just a little off? Wouldn't it be better to abide by your own monster settings? Can you have some personality? For example, if you put it on your head, you will die faster. How convenient?

Secretly complaining, Lu Ming repeated his old skills. After the first instant killing experience, he was obviously much calmer the second time. The most important thing was that ordinary sword skills gave him courage and confidence.

The blade fell, body fluids sprayed, and the core ruptured. The whole process was completed in one go, without any interruption.

The only thing that made him feel helpless was that the machete lost another 10 points of durability.

60/100, only two larvae left before the curling blade mark.

Fortunately, the curled blade does not mean that it cannot stab directly, not to mention that it is only one short of the specialized crystal of the sublimated machete.

If you're lucky, you can switch to a straight knife for this wave of collection.

Return to the chair and lock onto the Sickle Owl Larva corpse.

"collection!"

[Successfully collected sickle owl larvae corpses and obtained high-purity heterogeneous protein*1]

"..."

Somewhat speechless, the second one didn't even crystallize.

There was some annoyance, but looking back and thinking about the benefits I gained from the start, I seemed a little relieved.

His mind returned to calm, and the third sickle owl larva crawled in shortly after.

"Appraisal."

Very good, as if hearing his feedback, the larval core body is really hidden in the head this time.

It does not go through the stomach, so it is definitely friendly to machetes, and there is not much fat on the head, so there is no need to use a direct stabbing method that relies on hits.

It fell down, waved its arm, and chopped it off with a knife, splitting the head of the larva open along with its core body.

Checking the condition of the machete, the durability has only dropped by 2 points. Gastric acid corrosion of the hammer is the source of damage to the durability.

Looking back at the crack in the door, there was only the last larva left, and I don't know if it had witnessed the casualties of too many brothers and sisters. Its activity level increased sharply, and it actually climbed in directly by stepping on the corpses of its own kind.

Lu Ming is not used to it. Before, you had companions and he had to deal with them separately. Now that you are alone, what else does he have to be afraid of? Just do it and it’s done.

Identification collection falls at the same time.

The corpse is decomposed into a high-purity heterogeneous protein.

That's right, no specialized crystals appeared.

The sickle owl larvae that trampled on the corpses of the same kind was knocked out of the air by Lu Ming on the spot and fell straight down.

Taking advantage of the emptiness where the larva suddenly fell, Lu Ming stepped forward and stabbed it into the neck, piercing the fatal core at the back of the neck and ending its life.

At this point, all four aliens entrenched at the door of the repair shop have been killed.

"collection."

[Successfully collected sickle owl larvae corpses and obtained specialized crystal*1 and high-purity heterogeneous protein*1]

After two rounds of disappointment, the second specialized crystal finally arrived, but Lu Ming was not as happy as he expected.

He slowly closed the rolling shutter door, tied the glass door tightly, and then returned to the display cabinet where he had been leaning to calm down.

It wasn't until the whole person calmed down that he opened his space bag.

Looking around, there is a crystal clear diamond-shaped crystal with dense blue light placed in the third grid.

After taking it out, it is only about the thickness of your thumb. It has a gentle and warm touch in your hand. When you roll it in your palm, it will emit little crystal dust.

Dreamy, strange, and a little bit poignant.

This is his sensory judgment as a human being.

Unfortunately, only two out of four were produced, and the probability was only 50%.

If it were someone else who didn't know the consumption of specialized crystals, 50% would be enough.

But he possesses the ultimate sublimation, a gold-swallowing behemoth, and 50% is really not enough. Unless the blocking skills are no longer used, his consumption will always be countless times greater than others.

Maybe in the future, there will be more people who can hunt alien species, and they can use the trading house to sell sublimation items to make a lot of money.

Now everyone is so poor that even survival is a problem.

Until the moment of despair, who would sell specialized crystals to strengthen their own strength?

It was too tiring to rely on himself. If he looked darker, he might not be able to produce two even if he killed ten of them. That was not the state he wanted.

So he was wondering, could he use ultimate sublimation to target a certain point to increase the probability of producing specialized crystals?

Directly sublimate alien species?

Theoretically, it is possible. The higher the level of the alien creature, the rarer the output will be, and the normal output will also be higher.

But that seems to be an act of cerebral palsy. If you don't have the personal strength to crush one or two classes, you will definitely die.

Therefore, the alien creatures that are the source of output cannot be targeted for the time being.

So if we can’t target the source of the output, can we target the function that triggers the output?

For example, this...[Collect].
