Chapter 167 Obtaining the Power and Plan of the White King (6.2K)
After Yuan Zhisheng and his subordinates left, the room suddenly became quiet.
After waiting for a long time, Tachibana Masamune picked up a monitor, unlocked it with fingerprints, and flipped through some information inside. There were various records and some satellite aerial photos on it, including forests bombarded by missiles, giant snakes leaping from rivers and seas, and four-armed dragons fighting against many in the city...
And in the corners of these photos, there was Zheng Shu's figure.
Looking at these materials, there was a deep heat in Tachibana Masamune's eyes.
……
……
Zheng Shu sat on the head of the bed in the hotel, seemingly sitting cross-legged and meditating, but in fact he was looking at the blue panel deep in his consciousness and thinking about the problem.
Mia and Eri were sent out of the hotel by him after they mastered the blood-blasting technique. Now the two people should be playing in the Tokyo Sky Tower.
[Reinforced Template: White King (Holy Remains)]
[Reinforced Template: White King (Spirit)]
This is the White King reinforced template he obtained after coming to Japan, obtained from the Holy Remains and the white giant beast in the spiritual world.
The reinforced template of the Holy Remains was obtained after his careful planning, but the reinforced template of the Spiritual White King was an accident. After obtaining the reinforced template of the Spiritual White King from the spiritual world, Zheng Shu was rejected by the spiritual world before he had time to study it.
However, when he had time, his first reaction was naturally to merge the two templates, just like the templates of the twin dragon kings merged with each other to obtain a "complete" White King.
However... the result was a bit beyond Zheng Shu's expectations:
[Attention! ! Reinforced Template: White King (Holy Remains) and Reinforced Template: White King (Spirit) are both complete reinforced templates, and they are not incomplete. ]
[Detecting the compatibility of reinforced templates...]
[Estimating the risk of fusion...]
[Warning! ! The compatibility difference between the reinforced templates is too large, and the fusion risk exceeds the warning line, and it cannot be forcibly fused. 】
【Tip: If the user wants to use all the abilities of two enhanced templates, he can choose the parallel enhancement mode to enhance the two enhanced templates. 】
The information on the panel is very short, but it reveals a lot of information.
From the information on the panel, it can be seen that whether it is the White King in the form of the Holy Corpse or the White King in the form of the Spirit, neither of them is essentially the "incomplete" state of the White King. To be precise, both of them are the "evolved" state of the White King.
Zheng Shu speculated that the Black King's attack is likely to have some causal damage, so in order to save "his" life, the White King had to completely divide "his" existence.
When divided, each portion of the "White King" should have the same proportion of composition, so each portion should be a complete White King after making up for its own volume. It's just that in order to escape the judgment of the Black King, they chose different evolutionary paths and derived different forms.
As for the fact that they are all the enhanced templates of the White King, their compatibility is so different that they cannot be merged. After seeing the white beast in the spiritual world, Zheng Shu felt that he could understand it. Compared with other creatures in the material world, the pale beast did not look like a species that could appear in the same world.
Or the difference between the white beast in the spiritual world and the creatures in this world was even confirmed by the panel:
[Attention! ! The characteristics of the reinforcement template law are too different from the current environment to be strengthened. 】
Yes, the difference is so huge that Zheng Shu can't even use this reinforcement template to strengthen in the real world of the dragon world.
Of course, Zheng Shu speculated that if he returned to that spiritual world again, he should be able to use this reinforcement template. But... that doesn't make much sense.
Zheng Shu estimated that after the reinforcement was completed, he would most likely become a spiritual creature like the pale beast. At that time, he could only wander in the spiritual world of the dragon world and could not have any impact on the real material world.
So this reinforcement template was abandoned by Zheng Shu at the first time. If he traveled to a world where dreams could affect the rules of reality in the future, he might consider using this reinforcement template.
In addition to the troublesome reinforcement template of the spiritual white king, the reinforcement template of the other holy skeleton white king was also very unsatisfactory.
"Panel, without affecting my physical appearance and mental will, what level can the enhanced template of the Holy Skeleton White King be enhanced to?"
[Calculating...]
[Without affecting the user's physical appearance and mental will, enhanced template: White King (Holy Skeleton) is recommended to be enhanced in compatible mode, with a maximum enhancement ratio of 5%. ]
"Ah?"
Seeing this result, Zheng Shu almost couldn't hold it. Although he expected that the permanent change in the form of the White King would have a great impact on himself, he didn't expect the impact to be so great. It turned out that he worked hard all night, but in the end he could only get half of the White King's strength.
"Outrageous... Panel, I want to get as much power as possible from the White King. Is there any good way?" After thinking for a while, Zheng Shu decided to put his hope on his gold finger.
Since it was all a problem with the function inside the gold finger, instead of complaining here, it would be better to see if the gold finger has any good solution.
[Solution Simulating...]
[...]
Live up to Zheng Shu's expectations, this message soon appeared on the panel. However, it was a little unexpected that the waiting time this time was quite long. Zheng Shu even thought that his golden finger was stuck there.
Finally, after a long wait of several minutes, new information reappeared on the panel:
[Scheme simulation completed]
[The user strengthens the enhanced template: White King (Sacred Remains) in compatible mode. After an additional permanent consumption (cannot be returned) of a certain amount of influence factors, there is a probability that 30~50% of the power of the White King will be obtained without changing the body state. ]
[Warning! ! The specific improvement cannot be confirmed, and the plan has the risk of failure, but if the plan fails, it will only strengthen the user's strength of the enhanced template by 5%, and return the additional consumed influence factors. ]
[Estimated consumption of influence factors: 30%]
Zheng Shu looked at the information on the panel and fell into deep thought again. He was thinking about whether it was worthwhile to consume these influence factors to obtain the power of the White King.
So he took a look at his current number of influence factors.
Progress: 279.37%
Since the bronze and fire king's enhancement templates were enhanced again, the growth rate of Zheng Shu's influence factor has returned to the rapid growth state at the beginning, coupled with the influences made after coming to Japan.
Although the impact of many things has not yet fully appeared, Zheng Shu has already achieved more than 80% of the progress.
In this case, there is no need to think too much.
"Panel, how long will it take to enhance using this plan?" That's right, Zheng Shu finally reacted.
In the past, he was terrified about the time it would take to enhance himself, fearing that he would miss some plots because the enhancement time was too long.
But one day he suddenly woke up and realized that he could actually ask his gold finger for things like this. This is also the shortcoming of Zheng Shu's gold finger. He doesn't have a strong intelligence and there is no instruction manual. He can only rely on himself to explore little by little.
[Calculating...]
[It is estimated that the minimum time is 35 minutes and 26 seconds, and the maximum time is 41 minutes and 12 seconds. ]
Zheng Shu was a little surprised to see this time. It was actually shorter than he expected.
There is no time to lose. While we have free time now, we might as well use this time to strengthen ourselves.
Zheng Shu turned on his phone and contacted Mia. After confirming that she and Eri were having dinner in the restaurant and would not be back for a while, he asked Mia to pack a special meal of the restaurant for him before leaving, delaying their return as much as possible.
After his mental power was released to confirm that there was no surveillance around, a golden portal opened behind Zheng Shu, and an alchemical body that looked like him walked out of Nibelungen.
After adjusting the alchemical body to automatic camouflage mode, Zheng Shu turned around and entered the golden portal. After he left, the alchemical body observed the surrounding environment, immediately lay on the bed, covered with a quilt, and pretended to fall asleep.
Sitting cross-legged on the empty ground of Nibelungen, Zheng Shu looked at the information on the panel without hesitation.
"Panel, strengthen me as much as possible!"
[Command received]
[Consume the progress of influence factor collection to strengthen the body]
[Calculating...]
[Calculation completed, the total amount of influence factor required for compatible mode is 30.68% of the collection progress]
[An additional 30% of the progress of influence factor has been extracted]
[Influence factor consumed, body strengthening begins]
So Zheng Shu was wrapped in green light again, and as his consciousness began to disappear, the strengthening officially began.
However, unlike in the past, this time the green light did not immediately begin to transform Zheng Shu's body, but extracted a slightly smaller green light ball from the green light cocoon surrounding Zheng Shu.
This small light ball and the light cocoon are connected by a faint green thread. After the light ball is separated from the green light cocoon, it keeps shaking up and down under the control of the thread, looking like it is being dragged and shaken by a weak hand.
The entire Nibelungen suddenly began to fluctuate, and then the magnificent consciousness descended again into this world composed of dead elements, looking at the lifted green light ball, revealing a strong "desire".
The green thin line controlled the light ball to shake up and down, and the seduced Hongwei consciousness produced a wave of fluctuations. Seeing that the other party's fluctuations had even begun to affect Nibelungen, the green thin line disconnected the connection with the light ball, allowing the green light ball to "float" up gently.
After reaching a certain height, the green light ball disappeared, and Hongwei's consciousness also sent a wave of satisfaction.
After receiving the information contained in the green light ball, Hongwei's consciousness also extended its "tentacles" into the green light cocoon and "touched" Zheng Shu who was in a deep sleep inside.
As the information represented by the "tentacles" kept changing, the green light cocoon also began to transform Zheng Shu at the same time. Although the physical appearance remained unchanged, Zheng Shu's spirit and soul had undergone tremendous changes.
As the strengthening progressed, the surging mental power poured out from Zheng Shu's mind. The mental power that was supposed to have no entity now became able to affect the real world. Cracks appeared on the ground of Nibelungen with Zheng Shu as the center.
Finally, the spiritual power lingering around Zheng Shu reached a certain intensity and stopped expanding. Instead, it quickly returned to Zheng Shu's mind.
At this point, the information carried by the "tentacles" of Hongwei's consciousness no longer changed, and the green light gradually stopped transforming Zheng Shu's soul.
Confirming that Zheng Shu's condition had stabilized, Hongwei's consciousness retracted its "tentacles", but in the process of recycling, it was stained with a few green lights intentionally or unintentionally.
Seeing that the green light was still busy with the final transformation of Zheng Shu's soul, Hongwei's consciousness "escaped" here quickly like a fox that stole a chicken.
Discovering what Hongwei's consciousness did, the green light cocoon shrank back into Zheng Shu's chest without any emotional fluctuations.
At the moment the transformation was completed, Zheng Shu also woke up immediately. He did not have any confusion after the transformation was completed before. He was in a very good state now, just like the feeling of being energetic after getting enough good sleep.
Zheng Shu's first feeling was that what he could see became much "clearer". This clarity was not an enhancement of vision or other perceptions, but more inclined to the feeling of being able to see the essence of things.
Apart from this, Zheng Shu did not feel any improvement in his physical fitness. However, if he thought about it carefully, with the physical strength of the Holy Relic White King, it is estimated that even if all the enhancements were applied to him, there would not be any obvious changes.
Recalling some psychology questions that were preset in advance, Zheng Shu finally confirmed that his mind was not affected for the time being after comparing his current answers with the previous answers.
Through the connection of the alchemy puppet, Zheng Shu observed and confirmed that Mia and Eri had not returned. He then exchanged positions with the alchemy puppet through the golden portal and opened the light blue panel deep in his consciousness while lying down.
Progress: 279.37%→192.15%
[Enhancement template: White King (Holy Relic) enhancement is completed. Due to the special enhancement mode, all physical strength enhancements are abandoned, and 50% of the mental strength enhancement of the enhancement template in its heyday is obtained. 】
[Influence factor consumption: 25% (basic enhancement consumption, refundable) + 30.68% (compatibility mode consumption, permanent consumption, non-refundable) + 31.54% (special enhancement mode consumption, permanent consumption, non-refundable) = 87.22%]
Zheng Shu fell into silence as he looked at the information on the panel. The influence factors consumed in this enhancement were not few, and more than 60% of the progress influence factors were permanently consumed.
However, Zheng Shu was not very distressed, because during the period of time when he was thinking, the decimal point in the column of influence factor progress jumped up several times. According to this natural growth rate, even if he did nothing, it would take less than a year to make up for all the consumed influence factors.
In addition, although it was only 50% of the White King's spiritual power, the increase in spiritual power was far beyond Zheng Shu's expectations.
With his thoughts, the endless spiritual power began to spread outward. Zheng Shu's spiritual power easily crossed various material obstacles and enveloped the entire Tokyo city under his control.
A huge amount of mental fluctuations entered Zheng Shu's mind, but his brain could easily process this information in an instant. Feeling the feeling of holding the entire city in his "hands", Zheng Shu was intoxicated in an instant.
But soon, the tingling sensation in his brain pulled his mind back to reality. He quickly recovered the mental power he had spread out, and Zheng Shu pinched his nose.
Although the previous blow was indeed very strong, the consumption was a bit too much, and it could only be used at the most critical moment.
While thinking this, Zheng Shu walked towards the door. When he opened the door, Mia outside the door just took out the door card to open the door - just at that moment, he had accurately captured Mia and Eri's mental fluctuations among the hundreds of millions of people in Tokyo.
...
...
A few days later.
In a spacious Japanese-style room, a man with a slightly feminine face knelt on the tatami in a sitting position, with a long sword with a cherry-colored scabbard across his knees, looking up at the person in the shadow.
The general, wearing a Noh mask, was arranging flowers at this time. There were a few winter plums in a white porcelain vase. However, in this season, these branches were all bare, but looking at the cautious movements of the general, it seemed that he saw the flowers in the vase in full bloom.
"You are very interested in the commissioner from Kassel College." Fengjian Liuli spoke up to break the silence.
"Your brother seems to be very interested in him too." The general inserted another branch, "After all, as the 'Emperor', he should be the strongest hybrid in the world, but now he meets someone who is similar in age but stronger than him. Neither the pride of the emperor nor the impetus of the young will allow him to admit defeat."
"I warned you, don't mention him in front of me!"
Fengjian Liuli's eyes burst into murderous intent. If he hadn't tried several times without success, the long sword on his knees would have been unsheathed and the other's head would have been cut off.
"Don't be so excited. I am indeed very interested in that young man. After all, he is a hybrid who can fight against the third generation. Who in this world would not be interested in him?" General Wang stopped and looked at the young man in front of him, ignoring the terrifying murderous intent emanating from him.
"Don't worry, no matter how powerful he is, he can't defeat a masterpiece of God like you." He spoke as if he was comforting a jealous child.
But Fengjian Liuli didn't want to accept his kindness at all. On the contrary, the other party's tone made him feel sick. He just wanted to chop off the head of this ghoul and make that mouth that oozes corpse oil never open again.
"Then I hope you have arranged everything. The Eight Snakes and the European Secret Party are not stupid. If I remember correctly, the new commissioner sent by the Secret Party will arrive today." Fengjian Liuli didn't want to continue this chat. Staying in the same room with this ghoul would only make him feel more disgusted.
Besides, Wang Jiang's plan this time was too risky. Even though the fierce ghosts have always been rampant, they have never taken such an extraordinary action. What's more, the fierce ghosts have just suffered such serious losses and even lost "Ryoma", one of the three top leaders. Implementing such a plan at this time is simply a signal for a full-scale war.
Although the half-bloods of the fierce ghosts were called "ghosts" by the eight families of Sheqi, they still had the right to live in the eyes of the Dragon King, but the ghoul in front of him only wanted to eat up their value and throw them away like a rag.
"The temporary loss is not a problem worth paying attention to. I just want some of his blood, which should not be difficult for you."
Listening to the words of the king, Fengjian Liuli just sneered and got up and left the house. He knew that although the ghoul in front of him looked very gentle, he had no right to object to any of his decisions.
...
...
South of Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, suburbs of Yokohama City.
This is a deserted coastline. Before World War II, it was a continuous fishing village, but now the fishermen have moved to Yokohama and become citizens, leaving only the pier where they moored their fishing boats to be beaten by the sea day after day.
And on this deserted salt-alkali beach, a runway, or half of it, appeared unusually abruptly, and the other half of the runway has been submerged by the sea.
This is an airport runway built in 1941, when the sea level was not so high. It has been abandoned for many years.
A black Hummer was parked at the end of the runway, with its headlights facing the runway. In this simple airport without any lighting, the pilot can only rely on the headlights to guide the direction.
Ying spread a snow-white napkin on the engine hood, placed three tulip glasses, opened the champagne and filled the glasses one by one, and placed a bunch of bright yellow tulips next to the glasses. There was a slice of green lemon on the mouth of each glass, and a small Japanese flag was inserted on it.
Compared with the welcome ceremony for Zheng Shu that time, this welcome ceremony was already extremely simple. However, when notifying, Principal Angers specifically emphasized that the operation should be kept as confidential as possible, so Tachibana Masamune only asked Yuan Zhisheng to bring people to pick him up.
In addition to these two people, the only people who picked him up next to the runway were Zheng Shu and Mia.
In the past few days, Eri has mastered the method of opening the blood burst skillfully. In addition, she has been out for many days. According to the routine, she should need to inject serum medicine, so Zheng Shu simply took the opportunity to pick up Eri and let her return to the Snake Eight Families.
When Yuan Zhisheng saw Zheng Shu take the initiative to bring Eri here, his dislike for him immediately decreased a lot, and then he arranged for Crow and Yasha to escort Eri back to Genji Heavy Industries.
So there were only these four people left to pick up the plane this time.
In fact, if it weren't for Tachibana Masamune's request, Yuan Zhisheng didn't want to come here to hold this airport pick-up ceremony. After all, he hated physical contact with people, and from the resume, the headquarters team that came to Japan this time was composed of dandies, violent people and incompetent wastes. Yuan Zhisheng didn't have any good feelings for these three types of people.
Fortunately, Zheng Shu prepared for them in advance, so that the Japanese branch understood that the so-called trump cards of the headquarters were not good things, so Yuan Zhisheng decided to pick up the plane in person in order to show his respect for the headquarters trump card combination... even if it was just superficial respect.
There was a roar coming from the direction of the sea. It was pitch dark in the overcast sky, but it seemed that some flying beast was approaching with wind and thunder.
"Pretty punctual." Yuan Zhisheng glanced at his watch.
