Such a fine sword had been tarnished just like that.
Irin had such a thought when he saw the sword's shape.
The ink-black veins on the sword were like blood vessels, and they were dense and sinister.
The sword was originally forged from stainless steel, but after the vein-like veins appeared, it looked more like a sharp blade that grew out of a monster's body. As soon as the sword was unsheathed, its appearance alone was enough to make one feel that it wasn't to be trifled with.
"It's actually …"
There was a hard lump on the sword's hilt, and there was a crack on it. The crack hadn't opened yet. Irin recalled the green eye that appeared after the crack opened in Kanzaki City, and his hand that was holding the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The change in appearance was one thing.
Irin grasped Oda Mai's sword and pulled it out of the scabbard. The stats that appeared before Irin's eyes astonished him even more.
Originally, items that belonged to this world couldn't be authenticated by the Tower, which meant that they couldn't be turned into cards, let alone have stats.
But now that they had stats, it meant that …
…
[Sakura Monogatari]
[Grade] Unknown Parasitic Type
[Durability] 989910000
[Effect] ¥# ~% ¥# ¥% # * ¥… @% FFFucMP!
[Description] Knowing too much might not be a good thing for you! PS: It's still the same sword, so just slash it to death and be done with it.
…
No wonder Oda Mai wanted to use the steel wire ball to rub out that eyeball.
There was clearly something wrong with the stats.
Something was far too wrong.
Oda Mai looked at Irin anxiously as she gripped the steel wire ball tightly, as if she wanted an explanation.
'Wait a moment.'
Irin discovered a blind spot.
Where did she get this steel wire ball?
The two of them exchanged awkward glances in the empty conference room.
In the end, it was Irin who broke the silence. "Why don't you tell me what exactly happened first?"
Irin hadn't been present when Oda Mai broke the jar in Kanzaki Temple. He hadn't personally witnessed the process of [Sakura Monogatari] being corrupted, so he wasn't sure what had happened to her precious sword.
Oda Mai didn't conceal anything.
He recounted everything that had happened at Kanzaki Temple.
If Yi Lin remembered correctly, this seemed to be the first time Oda Wu had spoken such a long sentence in one breath since he met her. It seemed that she really cared about her precious knife so much that she couldn't even maintain her cool and silent manner.
"A monster jumped out of the jar?"
"Yes."
"Did the little monster die on your hand?"
"Yes."
"Hiss, so you chopped off your own hand?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"No, no! Then you stabbed that monster to death with a backhand strike? "
As Irin spoke, he made a gesture of stabbing the monster to death on the ground. It was a vivid image.
"Of course."
"I see."
Oda Wu was confused.
Irin returned the sword to Oda Wu. After understanding the development of the situation, Irin quickly restored the truth of the matter. Combined with that vague description and garbled code … Oda Wu's [Sakura Dance Ichimonji] was far from simple.
Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?
"I didn't expect this." Irin smiled. "Parasitic equipment can not only live on 'human bodies', but also on 'items'. This has broadened my horizons."
Oda Wu silently gripped the sword at her waist.
If someone else had said this, Oda Wu would have definitely interpreted it as a "schadenfreude".
But since it was Irin who said it, Oda Wu felt that she could still tolerate it.
Yi Lin explained in a way that was easy to understand, elegant and popular.
"At that time, the monster you stabbed to death was most likely a special type of 'parasitic creature', or perhaps a parasitic equipment. That's right, it's one of the rarest types of equipment. "
"When a parasitic equipment chooses a host, most of them can't refuse. Moreover, it's a double-edged sword. Oh right, you should remember that the Wen guy at Haunted-mist Mountain was killed by a parasitic equipment. "
Irin pointed at his own forehead, where there was a patch of dead skin that was hard to see with the naked eye.
This wasn't a secret to Oda Wu, so there was nothing to hide.
At the mention of the Wen guy, Oda Wu frowned. She seemed to be unable to remember what her name was. But Oda Wu had slashed that thing, so she naturally remembered it very clearly.
Oda Wu actually wanted to refute. That woman was clearly killed by Irin.
But that wasn't important.
Oda Wu nodded, indicating that she understood, and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that Oda Wu understood what a parasitic equipment was, Irin was very satisfied with his ability to organize his words. He smiled and continued. "In other words, that thing wanted to live on you, but it didn't expect you to be so ruthless as to chop off your hand, causing it to fail. In the end, it could only live on your sword."
"…"
"Actually, this isn't a big deal. Parasitic equipment is also a very powerful type of equipment. Many people want it but can't get it. It's not a bad thing to properly explore the abilities of parasitic equipment. Just pay a little attention to see if there are any strange side effects. "
Irin comforted her.
Oda Wu lowered her head and fell into silence.
After being silent for half a minute, Oda Wu raised her head again and asked with a serious expression. "Can you get it off?"
Irin expressionlessly stretched out his hand to pick at the stubborn [Resentment] on his forehead.
"As far as I know, it can't."
Oda Wu finally left the meeting room.
After getting this result, in Irin's eyes, her back seemed to have lost her soul.
Irin actually didn't quite understand.
Parasitic equipment was strange, but after all, it was a rare type of equipment.
Other than not being able to get it off and being a little ugly, Irin didn't find any other disadvantages.
Take Irin's [Resentment] for example. After evolving to the second stage, [Resentment] had already given birth to two practical abilities. Irin was looking forward to seeing what the complete evolution of Dead Skin would look like.
"Since parasitic equipment can not only live on the human body, then thinking about it from another perspective …"
After Oda Wu left, Irin was deep in thought. Suddenly, a bold idea appeared in his mind.
…
…
The construction of the guild base was slowly getting on track.
Irin spent close to 500,000 death points to build a luxurious base for the base.
What Yi Lin needed to do next was to add bricks and tiles on top of this foundation, making it bigger and stronger.
The second day after the meeting.
Morning.
The sky was bright, and there were no clouds in the sky.
On the snowy mountain, it was a rare sunny day.
Of course, the guild base had a camouflage screen that could simulate the weather. However, in order to maintain the original atmosphere of the snowy mountain base, Irin chose to synchronize it with the outside world. Only the leisure area of the VIP members had the beautiful scenery of the sun and the beach.
Irin purposely carved out an empty area in the base to practice martial arts.
Normally, when Invincible had nothing to do, he would do exercises for the elderly here.
Next to the empty practice field was the Apocalypse Guild members' dormitory, and the paths were clearly separated.
This morning, Oda Wu was probably still immersed in the pain of being "tainted", so she hid in her room and didn't come out.
"Let me tell you some bad news."
Molly found Irin early in the morning.
"Is your period here?"
"F * ck off!" Irin's long-awaited joke made Molly feel warm, but she didn't want to lose and retorted, "How is my period bad news? It's bad news if it doesn't come, okay? Don't change the topic, let's talk business. "
Molly yawned and rubbed her bloodshot eyes, "There aren't many crystals left."
"I know."
"Oh? You're actually aware of it? "
Molly was surprised by Irin's reaction.
For Irin, there weren't many crystals left after this period of consumption. After all, the storage space was only so big, and even if it was full, it couldn't support Irin's squandering.
"I roughly remember where to use each crystal. Forget it, it's almost used up. After all, it's not something that can be regenerated endlessly. "
"You're not worried at all?"
"Worried?" Irin glanced at Molly, "What's there to be worried about? Isn't this expected? This day will come sooner or later. For now, even if the crystals are used up, won't the base still develop? You have to believe that the boat will cross the bridge when it comes to it. Maybe by then, we can find other alternative resources. "
In fact, Molly was more worried about her "Machine Zero" plan.
From thinking of the Machine Zero to designing the blueprints, Molly had spent a lot of effort.
Mo Li had spent countless sleepless nights as a virgin who had given up on the luxurious nightlife and spent all her time with boring computer software, formulas, and models.
The design concept of the Machine Zero relied heavily on the "crystal pattern" technology provided by Irin. The crystal pattern technology also relied on "crystals" as a driving energy source, otherwise it couldn't be realized in this world. In other words, if the crystals were used up, Molly's "Machine Zero" plan and all her efforts would be in vain.
Seeing that Molly was a little unhappy, Irin comforted her, "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous. To put it bluntly, the technology and technology of many worlds are similar. I know a friend … "Irin paused halfway, swiped his finger down, opened the communication interface, and continued," Yes, he's still alive. He knows a technology similar to 'alchemy', and it's a little similar to crystal pattern technology. Maybe he can help in finding alternative energy sources. "
"Really?" Molly showed a suspicious expression, subconsciously expressing her disbelief.
She obviously suspected that Irin was "making friends out of nothing".
Irin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "When did I lie … Ah, no, I'm not lying to you."
"Okay then."
Molly had no other choice but to believe in Irin.
Irin walked forward, stretched out his hand, and habitually rubbed Molly's messy hair. He smiled and said, "Don't let yourself be so tired, just live well."
"Tsk." Molly slapped Irin's hand away and spat. "I don't want to do nothing. Do you think I'm a useless person?"
Oh?
You still feel embarrassed?
Irin didn't say anything.
He could actually understand Molly's anxiety.
Ever since the version update, because she had rejected a summon, she was pulled into the blacklist and couldn't become an apostle through normal means. Compared to other people, Molly felt that she was unnecessary in this guild encampment. She couldn't continuously go through trials like other people to become taller, stronger, and stronger, and show off the light and heat.
To put it simply … Molly's self-esteem was damaged.
She didn't say it, but her actions were clear.
"Oh right."
Irin thought of something and casually said, "I might go on a long trip tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Where are you going?" Molly was stunned.
"Haiting City. I'm going to find Li Kai to discuss something."
Irin didn't hide his itinerary.
"I … can I go with you?" Molly's eyes lit up when she heard this. She immediately grabbed Irin's clothes and showed a pitiful expression, as if she wouldn't let go if he didn't agree.
"… …"
After a moment of silence, Irin sighed. "Okay, but don't say anything. Listen to me."
"Are we bringing anyone else?"
Molly stared into Irin's eyes and asked.
"No, it's not a big deal."
"Oh yeah! Okay ~ ~ "
Molly left happily. She couldn't hide the joy on her face.
Yi Lin stared at Mo Li's back view, who was skipping around excitedly. She had even lost one of her slippers.
Isn't it just going out? Is there a need to be so happy?
That's weird.
