"Please receive your newbie gift pack. This is your only chance, and the reward is generous!"
This was the second time Gu Jun saw this line of text in his mind.
It seemed like the foundation's power was in the form of a system, and it even borrowed some of the old system's text from his mind. The text felt like it was a web game that would automatically pop up when he opened a web page. Perhaps it was borrowing information from the games he had played before.
It did not match the grand fantasy of the City of Dusk.
He originally hoped the foundation's name would be more aesthetic, but now he realized that the system's text was extracted from his subconscious.
The so-called "Novice Gift Pack" was actually a way for him to digest and accept this power.
Gu Jun was a little worried. Would he gain a new ability, something like 'Strong Mouth' that was specifically designed for mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and respiration?
He glanced at Cai Zixuan, who was reading Zhuangzi. If he asked Cai Zixuan to read some classical Chinese, it would probably be 'When I was a child, I could open my eyes to the sun, I could see through the smallest details, I could see through the lines of the insignificant things, I could find joy in them.' and then he forgot.
Therefore, Gu Jun was a little lacking in confidence regarding his literary attainments.
But it did not matter if it was a black cat or a white cat, as long as it could meow. He looked at the text, and his heart was filled with joy. The class monitor might be saved this time!
"Wait, there's a new situation." Gu Jun said to the others, "I've received the power of the foundation."
He asked them to wait while he quickly walked out of the ward and left the building. When he reached a spacious area outside the base and the guards were far away, he clicked on the novice gift in his mind. This way, even if he were to explode on the spot, there would be an extra layer of protection for the others.
Even though he trusted the foundation, he was still afraid that this was a prank by Nyarlathotep.
Just as he clicked to receive, a golden light flashed in his mind, and a few new notifications popped up.
"You've received 1 Reverse Yellow Talisman."
"You've received Mental Pillar Technique Manual."
"You've unlocked an investigative ability: Anatomy."
Gu Jun calmed himself down and carefully examined the new system. It was similar to the old system, but there were some changes.
As he looked at it, he had a new idea. "No, this is not entirely a creation of the foundation. It's more like a gas tank that ran out of gas was refilled and modified. Therefore, some of the functions of the old system are not the foundation's help, and the other party has no control over it. What the other party gave us are the new things."
The host's information was still there, and he could see his index data. The ability list had also been restored, with the maxed out Hands of Dexterity and Heart of Vigor. The surgery list was also there.
These were not created by the foundation. They belonged to the original system created by the Son of Iron.
However, the "Investigation Ability List" was a new function. It seemed that practicing these investigation abilities would help him investigate the truth of the disaster and approach the various mysteries of the universe. He clicked on it and saw an investigative ability in the list.
[Anatomy
Level: Level 1/Level 9
Experience: 0/5000
Introduction: By dissecting different alien lifeforms, you will be able to improve your mental strength and gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of life.
Note that repeated dissection of an alien lifeform in the dissection room will only increase your experience in the early stages. After you reach the upper limit, you will no longer gain new experience and understanding.
You need to travel around and come into contact with different lifeforms, the living and the dead, to gain a deeper understanding of their structure. Direct dissection is the most powerful way to increase your experience, but sometimes you can use a ruler to measure the size of other people's skulls to increase your experience.
Activated Mission: None]
"Anatomy, huh? This suits me." Gu Jun thought to himself. Actually, this was a choice he had made a long time ago.
However, he had not been on the dissection table for a while. The Carlop dissection instruments in his backpack were a little rusty.
When he thought about dissecting an alien, Gu Jun was inexplicably excited.
During the final battle, all the flying polypus hydroids that were still alive exploded first and were devoured by Shub-Niggurath. However, some of the fragments were collected by the two worlds, and there were even a few tentacles that were relatively intact. The situation at Byakee was similar, and there was not a single locust to be found.
When he returned to the dissection room, he could increase his experience with this ability.
However, compared to the previous method of grinding, the way to gain experience was different. There was also a 'Activated Mission'.
"This will have to be studied later."
Gu Jun exited the ability list and looked around. He noticed the new system's mission list was very different.
There were no more normal, difficult and abyssal level missions.
There was only a 'New Mission' column that was temporarily grayed out. There was a line of explanation behind it.
"The mission system will trigger new missions from time to time, depending on the host's chance to level up and actual needs. The missions have different difficulties. The process of completing the mission will digest the host's power and help the City of Dusk break through the limit of time and space. The host will be rewarded. Please act according to your ability and fight for it. "
Gu Jun thought about it. He could roughly understand it, but he could not find a way to contact the City of Dusk. It seemed like his body was not ready yet.
Other than that, there were no other new functions.
However, the newbie gift pack gave him two other things.
Only then did Gu Jun take a look. His heart was already pounding. Because from the name, it seemed to be the help he desperately needed.
The Mental Pillar Technique Manual was floating above his head. It was a light gold scroll.
He clicked open the scroll and was instantly overjoyed. This new technology was definitely priceless, it would be very useful for frontline personnel …
The alliance between Phecda World and Mysterium World would be greatly improved because of this.
However, it was useless during the crisis inside the sickroom. Next to the scroll, there was a yellow talisman. He opened it to take a look. On it was the yellow crooked spiral triangular imprint used by the Yellow Brotherhood. But the spiral of the symbol was reversed.
"Reversal."
Gu Jun was silent. A three-act play had a first, second and third act.
On stage, there would always be the first act and then the second … Just like in life, even though time and space was not a straight line but a circle, humans could only understand and live in a straight line.
The class leader's current situation seemed to have reached the third act and was about to reach the end.
If he could reverse it …
Gu Jun made up his mind and clicked to receive it. Soon, a yellow reverse talisman materialized in his right hand.
The power of the Randolph Carter Foundation is really incomparable to mortals. Do those people really retain the mind of mortals? This makes him sigh, it must be very difficult.
He gripped the talisman tightly and read the instructions in his mind. Then he strode back to the sickroom.
He walked quickly because the more he studied the talisman, the more he felt like he was nearing the end. In fact, he was panicking.
When he returned to the sickroom, Wu Shiyu, Cai Zixuan and Uncle Dan turned to look at him. Gu Jun waved the talisman and explained, "The foundation has just broken through the limitation of time and space. I believe Monitor is about to collapse. Let's give it a try, it should work. Uncle Dan, please report this to the headquarters." The three were overjoyed.
"Dirty-minded Yu, if my mental power is running low, come up here to help me."
"Of course." Wu Shiyu rolled up his sleeves and stared at the yellow talisman. He encouraged himself, "Then there's no need for you to sacrifice your body."
"I didn't plan to do that anyway, and who said that would work …" Gu Jun grumbled, "You're the one who has gone off the rails."
"I used it on you last time."
"Our situation is different, so it works."
"Oh, that's true." Wu Shiyu fell into contemplation. "But it doesn't work for Zixuan and Uncle Dan."
"Indeed." Cai Zixuan nodded and sighed. "Only two souls without any distance can transfer heat through a kiss."
Uncle Dan was truly innocent. It was one thing for them to be flirting with each other, but Zi Xuan, why did you get involved in this?
Gu Jun did not say anything else. Holding the talisman in his left hand, he walked to Wang Ruoxiang's side. He focused and his right hand reached out to draw the reverse mark on the top of Wang Ruoxiang's head. Anyone who saw this scene would think that he was a shaman who was trying to swindle people.
But Wu Siyu, Cai Zixuan, and Uncle Dan sincerely hoped that they could wait for a while longer, and they would be able to cry out in delight.
