Chapter 104: Attributes Skyrocket! The Extraordinary Body!
Chapter 104: Attributes Skyrocket! The Extraordinary Body!
The presence of mutants lurking near the City of Darkness was not good news for Alex.
Although he had the Lord's Illusion for cover, if Lan Si Ruo could smell the enemy, it was likely they could also smell them.
Clearly, the enemy had tracked them by following Lan Si Ruo and the others' scent.
Regardless of the lurking mutant's intentions, Alex felt the urgent need to devise a plan to capture them.
However, seeing Lan Si Ruo gave Alex a new idea.
The unique scent of mutants naturally serves as bait to attract mutant zombies and mutants.
In the future, the simple tasks of luring and killing C-grade zombies and capturing mutants could be delegated to his mutant harem.
"Blue, I'm giving you and the others two tasks. First, find the lurking mutant as soon as possible.
Second, find a way to attract mutant zombies to the outskirts of City of Darkness. If conditions allow, you may also kill as many mutant zombies as possible, ensuring your own safety, and bring their bodies back to the corpse storage in the city."
If they were to hunt mutant zombies alone, it would be quite dangerous given their current abilities.
But simply locating and attracting mutant zombies should be manageable for them.
"Also, try not to act alone. If anyone gets injured, just return to the castle as soon as possible."
Even if they were injured, there was no need to worry. With the healing capabilities of the Dark Castle, as long as the injuries weren't fatal, they could be healed with rest.
After assigning the tasks, Alex's apocalypse coins finally reached 500.
"System! Upgrade to Level 3 Tomb immediately!"
[Level 3 Tomb: Can infinitely bury all zombie bodies below grade B; prerequisite building: Level 2 Tomb; price: 500 apocalypse coins.]
[Upgrade to Level 3 Tomb selected, conditions met...]
[Consuming 500 apocalypse coins...]
[Under construction...]
As the electronic synthesized voice finished, the selected Level 2 tomb emitted a dazzling light.
With a rumbling sound, the area of the tomb doubled in size, and the tombstone became much larger than before.
[Level 3 Tomb, construction complete!]
"Finally, the Level 3 Tomb is complete, huh?" Alex was somewhat excited.
He took out the body of a B-grade spider-form zombie from his spatial bag and threw it directly into the tomb.
A groan, as if from hell, resounded.
White text appeared on the tombstone.
[The body is being buried...]
[Estimated time 3 hours...]
The burial time extended by an hour this time.
Although Alex was eager to see the results of burying a B-grade zombie, he now had to wait patiently.
It was already night, and the entire City of Darkness had fallen into darkness.
Only the Dark Castle, which was already electrified, still shone with brilliant lights.
Three hours of burial time was neither too long nor too short.
Taking advantage of these three hours of free time, Alex felt he should do something meaningful.
Inside the Dark Castle, Li Wan Ning and Lu Yu Rou were conducting "moral and ethical" education classes for the mutants and newly rescued Feng Ningning and others, using a display screen showing Japanese "moral education films."
The intense fighting sounds and strange dialogues in the educational film made Feng Ningning and the others blush.
Meanwhile, Lan Si Ruo, Qian Qian, and a few other innocent mutant girls listened naively, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Alex walked into the Dark Castle and touched the snow-white fox tail of the fox girl Qian Qian, saying, "Qian Qian, come to my room for a bit."
From the first sight of Qian Qian, Alex had been attracted by her charm, always feeling restless towards her.
Taking advantage of the three-hour wait, Alex planned to relax a bit.
Qian Qian, with her watery big eyes and shaking her snow-white fox tail, hopped into Alex's bedroom.
...
"Ding-dong! B-grade zombie burial complete..."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The three hours passed quickly.
Alex, somewhat reluctantly, got dressed and got up.
The system's notification sound came again:
"Increase of 58 apocalypse coins."
"Gain of 12 points in constitution attribute."
"Gain of 5 points in strength attribute."
"Gain of 15 points in agility attribute."
"Gain of 20 points in mental attribute."
"Acquisition of material: Space Crystal Core."
"Level 3 Tomb is now empty, please bury again."
As the electronic synthesized voice ended, Alex felt a surge of warmth fill his entire body, feeling as if he was about to soar into the air.
The meridians and bones throughout his body continuously emitted cracking sounds.
His originally clean skin was suddenly covered in dirt-like grime.
It was as if he was undergoing a complete transformation!
[Congratulations to the host for successfully entering the transcendental realm. From this moment on, you no longer belong to the category of humans; to humans, you are now a transcendental being.]
[Ding-dong! Transcendental ability acquired: Vajra Body.]
[Vajra Body: The possessor of this transcendental ability will have extremely strong defensive
capabilities. Ordinary knives, guns, and bullets cannot harm the ability user, and zombies of grade C or lower cannot inflict any damage on the ability user!]
"Vajra Body?" Alex was slightly startled. He hadn't expected his first transcendental ability to
be the impervious Vajra Body.
Not as powerful as he had imagined, but still not weak!
"So, with the Vajra Body, ordinary knives, guns, and bullets can't harm me at all?"
[Yes! Even if someone were to shoot you in the head at close range with a rifle, it would not cause you any substantial harm. Your body's hardness is comparable to steel, but the impact of bullets can still interfere with your actions.]
Alex nodded in satisfaction. From today onwards, he no longer had to worry about whether
others had guns.
Bullets could no longer cause him any substantial harm.
Ordinary people who wanted to harm him would have to resort to heavy weaponry like cannon
shells!
Now, even if Alex faced the military, he could be fearless.
"System! Display my attribute values!"

Moreover, Alex noticed that in the materials section, there is an added Space Crystal Core! "System, what is the function of the Space Crystal Core?"
