Lin Xi's house was in a small district.
The big iron gate of the district had been closed. With the high walls blocking the way, the buildings inside were not damaged, and there were no giants.
After leaping over the wall, returning to his completely empty home, from his body to his mind, Lin Xi felt a wave of relaxation. He first took a shower, changed his clothes, and then casually made some food.
After eating and drinking, he began to think.
Why would the monsters in animations, games, and movies come to reality?
What was the place where they entered when they obtained the ability? What was the face that called itself the "spirit of all living beings"?
On Earth, there were 100,000 people who obtained the ability seed. These people were called "evolvers". What did this name mean?
"I don't understand … Forget it, I won't think about it. I'm just a nobody, it's not my place to worry. Since I'm lucky enough to be one in a hundred thousand in the apocalypse and have obtained a five-star bloodline, there are only two things I need to do."
"First, become stronger. Second, become stronger!"
"Right, the human evolution program!"
Lin Xi took the phone and found that the "pyramid" icon was still there. After clicking on the program, there were some hints on the interface.
The gist of the message was that the phone had undergone some changes. It could directly absorb solar energy as an energy source, and as the carrier of the human evolution program, the phone could be transformed into a special form and kept in the body.
With a slight thought, the phone in his hand disappeared, and a circle of symbols appeared on his wrist. What made him smile bitterly was that this symbol was actually the phone's trademark.
NOKIA。
With his consciousness, the phone appeared again.
The human evolution program had some changes after entering. Four modules appeared:
Character Attributes, Item Space, Mercenary Information, Connecting Base.
"Mercenary?"
Lin Xi was a little puzzled. He touched the module icon with his finger, and the explanation immediately appeared. It turned out that the mercenaries here referred to those who came from the world of animations, games, and movies, and could assist in battle.
As for how to get mercenaries? In the "Evolution Base," he could hire them with his biological energy points.
He clicked on "Connecting Base," and the screen jumped to the "Evolution Base" website. It had now become an online exchange mall!
There were a few categories that could be exchanged:
Weapons, Armor, Accessories, Items, Special.
Lin Xi's eyes were dazzled by the variety of weapons. For example, there were Doran Swords from League of Legends and Frostmourne from World of Warcraft. There were cloth clothes, leather armor, and wooden shields. There were also Golden Saint Clothes, Divine Might Spirit Equipment, and Red, Blue, and White Astral Shields.
Among the accessories, there were all kinds of necklaces, earrings, rings … He even saw the Pengelly Ring from Tutor, the Transformation Bracelet from Kampfer, and the Divine Light Stick from Ultraman!
The most numerous and messy were the items, which included many one-time consumables. However, there were no Health Potions, Mana Potions, and so on commonly seen in the game. There were only some extremely expensive special recovery items, such as Dragon Ball's Senzu Beans.
Special, mainly defensive structures and mecha, such as archery towers, EVAs, and Gundams.
In order to exchange for these, one needed "vitality energy".
Lin Xi looked at the screen and saw that the current amount of vitality energy he had was 5,200 points.
5,000 points were the feedback he got from drawing a five-star bloodline. 200 points were from killing giants, which were ordinary giants ranging from 3 to 9 meters, and 200 points from 10 to 15 meters.
It seemed that in the apocalypse, if one wanted to get stronger and exchange for all kinds of extraordinary weapons and equipment, one had to kill monsters continuously!
Besides exchanging, there were two other functions. One was to hire companions, including human mercenaries and pet mercenaries.
The other was to strengthen one's body. For every 1,000 points of vitality energy, one could strengthen Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, and Perception. Each strengthening would increase the value of one person.
Right now, Lin Xi had enough points to strengthen himself five times. If he strengthened Strength, he could increase the strength of five people!
After strengthening each attribute ten times, the number of points needed for further strengthening would double.
After reading this, he couldn't help but feel excited.
When playing World of Warcraft, who didn't hope that one day, they could hold Frostmourne and wear the Lich King Armor to kill enemies? When watching Ultraman, who didn't dream that one day, they could get a Godly Light Stick, become a giant of light, beat up small monsters, and save the world?
"The evolution base has these things. Who opened this website? Gods? I'm afraid that even the Godly Kings in myths, such as the Jade Emperor, Zeus, and Odin, can't be so powerful. "
Sighing inwardly, Lin Xi noticed another thing.
The evolution base could exchange for all kinds of equipment, hire companions, and strengthen the body. However, it couldn't exchange for bloodlines, talents, martial arts techniques, spells, or supernatural abilities!
"Now that I think about it, I'm really lucky to get a five-star bloodline of the Progenitor Virus with such comprehensive abilities. I wonder how far I can evolve in the future with this bloodline.
"However, absolute fairness doesn't exist, even with the vitality energy as compensation."
For example, if an evolved person drew a one-star ability and received 9,000 points as feedback, he would have the strength of ten people and be stronger than Lin Xi.
But the Progenitor Virus didn't just bring strength.
There was speed, flexibility, vitality, resistance, lifespan, regeneration … and the talent to change genes and evolve DNA! There was also the biological energy that he didn't know how to use! Be it the present or the future potential of the two, they couldn't be compared.
"I wonder if anyone has drawn a Nine Stars bloodline? Superman … this should be Nine Stars, right? How many times stronger would it be than a normal person? A hundred times? A thousand times? "
With 5200 points of vitality energy, Lin Xi decided to exchange to increase his combat power.
Enhance?
This was the first factor to be eliminated. In terms of physical fitness, if there was a clear comparison, the current Lin Xi's every attribute might be eight times that of a normal person's. The increase in strength from strengthening the body wouldn't be that great.
What Lin Xi wanted the most were companions.
Or …
Family.
He was too lonely.
Mercenaries could hire intelligent human beings, but the price of humanoid mercenaries with high intelligence was terrifying.
For example, he saw —
Name: Altoria Pendragon
Race: Heroic Spirit
Bloodline: Dragon Girl
Job Description: Saber
This originated from the legend of the Holy Grail, the girl heroic spirit of the ancient British King Arthur in that world. The energy points needed to hire her were as high as 420,000 points!
In terms of weapons, the sword of Lich King: Frostmourne was only 210,000 points.
One Saber = two Frostmourne.
Mikasa, with high intelligence, her strength was far less than Saber, but against giants, there was a special bonus. Exchange points: 30,000!
Humanoid mercenaries with low intelligence, the cheapest ones, such as Konoha's ordinary genin, Marine soldiers, etc., also needed 5000 points of vitality energy.
Non-humanoid mercenaries, the price of pet mercenaries was slightly cheaper, but not much cheaper.
Lin Xi had 5200 points, he could hire a mercenary, but what he needed most now were weapons and armor, which could be used to fight with giants and monsters!
Mercenaries couldn't be resurrected when they died.
If he spent all the points to hire one, but it was trampled to death by a giant, it would be terrible.
Among the mercenaries used, the existence of high intelligence, such as Saber and Mikasa, each of them was unique. If there was an evolved person who hired them, others could not hire them. If they died, the shop would not be restored.
It was the limited version of the real number of "1"!
In addition, he also noticed that the mercenaries that he could hire were all of the righteous faction — if divided according to the D and D faction, they would be either Lawful Good or Neutral Good, or at least Chaotic Good or Lawful Neutral. There were no evil creatures.
"I need to accumulate a bit more of this life form's energy. I have to hire a companion, a woman with high intelligence, a … family member that belongs to me!" Lin Xi inwardly set his resolution.
Start to exchange, first was —
Hard Leather Armor: 300 points
Oak Shield: 300 points
These two pieces of equipment were low-priced armors, with the style of the Diablo game: simple and rough.
The brown leather armor was rough and thick. The style of the wooden shield was a small round shield, the surface was densely covered with wood fiber texture, and there was a faint fragrance of trees. There was a grip at the back, and the edge of the shield was wrapped with a circle of white iron.
Then, Lin Xi exchanged for a weapon.
For creatures like giants, each of their combat power was not low, far beyond the low-level monsters such as zombies and skeletons. A good weapon was naturally a good helper to hunt giants.
With the ancestral virus bloodline, he could be stingy on the armor, but the weapon must be strong enough!
The price was 3000 points.
It came from the "Dark Souls 3" game.
Dark sword.
The weapon was a straight sword with the style of European magic movies, but it was slightly longer than the ordinary straight sword. The sword was about one meter long, and the whole body was black. There was a dark light, giving people a feeling of simplicity and solemnity.
The reason why he chose this was firstly because he couldn't exchange his points for weapons that were too high-leveled. Putting aside the Celestial Slayer, World Protector, Tiger Soul, and other Mythical weapons, even the Heavenly Sword, Dragon Slaying, Crimson Firmament, Kusanagi, and other famous weapons were far from enough.
Secondly, at the same price, the dark sword was more cost-effective, and could be easily used. A straight sword was easier to use than a katana or a rapier.
Thirdly, this sword was a strength-type weapon, and it was heavier, weighing more than ten kilograms. With Lin Xi's strength, it was easy to use.
The dark sword also came with a combat skill:
Lunge.
Lower the center of gravity and take a posture similar to a bow and arrow. During this time, the toughness would increase, and it would not be easy to be knocked down — in layman's terms, this movement would be very stable, and the next attack would be very powerful. After all, only by standing firmly could one slash fiercely!
If it was against a small enemy, the sword after lunge would be enough to send the enemy flying!
Of course, this combat skill could only be used for decoration when hunting giants.
He gripped the darkness sword's hilt, easily cutting through his family's kitchen knife, the blade not showing the slightest trace of wear. Moreover, after testing out the oak shield and hard leather armor's defensive strength, Lin Xi was extremely satisfied.
Then, he exchanged for a weapon that cost 1,500 points.
Bloodthirsty Flesh Hook.
From its appearance, it looked very ferocious. It was more than nine meters long, and at the top of the pitch-black, thick iron chain was a blood-red, curved, and ferocious-looking hook.
This thing was actually the hook of the Dota hero "Butcher".
Of course, there was definitely a difference between reality and the game. In the game, the target would be pulled to the side by the hook. In reality, if the hook hit an ordinary person, the other party's intestines would definitely be pierced, and they would be dead!
Each ring of the Bloodthirsty Flesh Hook was the size of a fist, and they formed a thick and long chain. At the front was a hook that could catch a shark. Of course, it was very heavy, and the weight was not something an ordinary person could carry. Throwing it out required great arm strength.
Fortunately, Lin Xi could use it now.
He only had 100 points of biological energy left.
Exiting the "Evolution Base" and returning to the main interface of the human evolution program, Lin Xi clicked on the "Item Space" module. A beam of light shot out from the phone screen and shone on the Bloodthirsty Flesh Hook, storing this lethal weapon inside.
Looking at the screen, he saw that the Bloodthirsty Flesh Hook had shrunk to the size of an item icon, taking up one of the slots in the Item Space. There were a total of nine slots.
The capacity of each slot was one cubic meter, 1 · 1 · 1. Items in the real world could also be stored inside.
If there was an item that exceeded the storage space, for example, a three-meter long great spear, could it be stored in the Item Space? The answer was yes, but this slot could only store this one item. It could not store anything else.
"Not to mention other things, just this function alone would give me a huge advantage in the apocalypse!"
Shaking his head with a sigh, Lin Xi made up his mind to leave the district tomorrow and head to the streets. One reason was to rely on the newly purchased weapons and equipment to kill giants to accumulate biological energy, and the other was to go to the supermarket to buy some survival supplies and store them in the Item Space.
