Gu Jun felt a burst of light in his mind. An unknown ocean of power surged toward him.
"Ugh …" His heart suddenly twitched violently. His surroundings began to spin. The evening sky, the cement road under his feet, the trees beside him, everything began to spin and churn. His heart was in pain. He could not beat, and he could not breathe …
After overworking for the past five days, his heart was already weak.
It felt like he was going to have a cardiac arrest again …
Just when he was about to fall to the ground with a thud, his heart suddenly erupted like a fountain. His blood began to surge again.
"Ah!" Gu Jun took a deep breath. His heart beat faster and faster. With every beat, it became stronger.
He could clearly feel that his exhausted heart was recovering rapidly. Even some of the old ailments seemed to have disappeared.
At this time, Gu Jun could also carefully look at the reward information that had just popped up.
"You have obtained a new ability, Strong Heart!"
Strong Heart …? This naming standard was indeed the same as the Hands of Dexterity.
However, Gu Jun clutched his heart. It was indeed beating a lot stronger. Was there a change in the cells? It couldn't be that there was an extra coronary artery, right?
In doubt, he opened the ability list on the system panel. Apart from the Hands of Dexterity, there was an additional new ability.
[Strong Heart
Rarity: ★ ★ ★
Cultivation Level: Tier 3
Current Level: Tier 1 (0/50000 Tempering Degree)
Introduction: No matter what situation you encounter, a stronger heart will play a role in helping you. As a doctor, no matter what kind of disturbing situation you face or how difficult the surgery is, a strong heart will make you stronger. Strong Heart is a relatively rare ability. It can give you psychological calmness that is one in a million. You need to directly face situations that stimulate the heart to temper it.]
"So …" Gu Jun looked at the introduction, and his heart beat even faster. This was an ability that came at the right time!
He was not thinking about the surgery. In the past few months, he had never been nervous or afraid that would affect his performance of the surgery.
However, he had a cardiac arrest once, a near-cardiac arrest once, and his heart rate had accelerated many times due to triggering illusions. It was extremely uncomfortable just now.
All of these were due to the same reason: a large amount of mental exhaustion in a short period of time.
But now he knew that in order to come into contact with spells, use spells, and face those strange dark things … his spirit and heart would continue to be consumed.
If he continued to be restrained by his heart, not only would he not be able to find out more, but he would also be unable to deal with the current dangerous situation.
"Strong heart." Gu Jun was overjoyed. Although the name wasn't that great, it was fine as long as it was useful.
As long as the heart was able to hold on when he triggered the illusions again, when he encountered any abnormalities, or when he cast spells, it would be fine!
In that case, whether it was called a strong heart, a super heart, or an awesome heart, it was all the same.
Gu Jun could not wait to give it a try. He had almost forgotten how exhausted he was when he walked out of the Autopsy Building.
But right now, he couldn't test it just because he wanted to, so he continued to study something else. "Tempering speed?"
He remembered that upgrading the first tier of the Hands of Dexterity to the second tier only required 5000 proficiency points, and upgrading from the second tier to the third tier required 30000 proficiency points.
Now that the first tier of the Strong Heart required 50,000 proficiency points, the difficulty seemed to be more than ten times that of the Hands of Dexterity.
Gu Jun clenched his hands. Speaking of which, after the completion of the Hands of Dexterity, although there was no longer a division of proficiency points, he still felt that there was a difference. After a few days of dissecting the liver, he obviously had a better grasp of his hands.
"50,000 it is." He used the Hands of Dexterity to press on the Strong Heart in his chest and laughed self-deprecatingly. There were many things that stimulated his heart.
After looking at this new ability, Gu Jun continued to look at the other mission rewards he had received.
"The power of the system still has a sense of propriety," he thought. A group of vengeful mice was only in his imagination.
He noticed that there was indeed an additional instrument in his pocket. He reached out to touch it. It was a pair of dissecting forceps, and it was a Carlop brand.
When it came to dissection, every dissecting instrument was very important. Some operations had to be carried out with forceps, so having an additional pair of forceps was always a good thing. Perhaps … he could use it to trigger a new illusion …
However, what made Gu Jun's head throb were the other three rewards. They were not physical objects but existed in his mind.
He closed his eyes slightly and focused. He could clearly see three new objects floating above his mind. Lenton's incomplete atlas and Rayani's three diary pages had retreated to the back row.
The three objects in the front row were a diary, a letter, and a torn parchment page.
Looking at it from afar, the diary was not very thick. It was intact and undamaged. There were some patterns on the cover, which was obviously the style of the foreign civilization.
The letter was wrapped inside a parchment envelope, and the handwriting on the envelope was rather blurry.
As for the spell parchment page … Gu Jun's heart raced as he looked at it. If not for his new Heart of Ferocity, he might have needed to call for an ambulance.
Technically speaking, the Whisper of Destruction was not a spell. The spell to summon the Malformed Banyan Disease was dark and lacking in detail. What he needed the most was to understand how spells worked, and now this was a spell page!
Even though it was incomplete, it should be able to provide him with the information that he desperately needed. The enemies that he and Phecda faced in the fog were more familiar with spells than they were.
However, just like when he enjoyed a feast, Gu Jun liked to save his favorite and tastiest part for later. Furthermore, he needed to understand the content of the diary and the letter.
With a command, the diary was pulled closer to him. He could use his mind to flip through it.
"What does a watcher mean? Is it a profession? "
Gu Jun flipped through it. The diary was about two hundred pages long, but only fifty pages were filled with content. The rest were yellowed and blank.
As he flipped through the pages, he noticed that the first fifty pages were all written in the foreign language. This was undoubtedly a diary from the foreign world.
However, he could not find the name of the diary's owner on the cover and first page.
Gu Jun found a relatively clean spot beside a tree and sat down. He flipped open the diary and started to read.
"Today is my first day as a watcher, responsible for the night.
Every infected house has only two watchers, one for the day, and the other for the night. I am very dissatisfied with this. How is this enough? If something were to happen, without the help of another person, it would be impossible for him to survive alone.
But I know that there are too many infected houses … It will be difficult for us watchers to gather enough people.
I really don't understand, how did this plague that can turn people into zombies come to our small town? "
