229 The World Competition Is About To Begin (Part 1)
After the life-and-death battle in the morning, Ning Shi’s luck became better.
In the afternoon, he encountered four three-horned elks that were alone.
[ Killed a Level 1 radioactive creature, three-horned elk. Gained 2000 experience points. ]
…
[ Butcher profession has been upgraded to Level 13 (0/20000), Physique +1, skill point +1, potential point +1, innate tenacity (blue) has been upgraded to tenacity (gold). ]
[ Tenacity (gold): Tenacity is not only the body but also the will! Greatly increases the body’s defense and resistance to debuffs, and greatly increases the judgment of will. Even in the state of physical injury, the will can still maintain clarity and exert most of the body’s strength.
[ Note: Radiation elemental corrosion is one of the negative states. ]
When his tenacity talent was upgraded to gold, Ning Shi poked his arm with the butcher’s knife, making an ear-piercing sound of metal cutting.
This wave of defense had been greatly enhanced.
After leveling up to Level 13 and eating nine balls of meat essence, Ning Shi’s physique reached 22.09 points.
His potential points had reached 7 points and were still accumulating.
2 skill points were added to his bio-technique.
[ Consume 2 skill points to level up your biochemical technique to Level 4. You’ve obtained a multi-burst trait. When decomposing a creature’s corpse, there’s a certain probability that it will drop three to five times the meat essence. ]
Seeing the characteristics of a Level 4 biochemical technique, Ning Shi was overjoyed.
Although consuming the meat essence each time did not increase his Physique by much, it was still a great improvement when accumulated.
Now that he had multiple bursts of power, as long as he was lucky enough, the growth of his physique would be faster.
The biochemical technique was really powerful.
Ning Shi looked at the sky. The setting sun was still shining. He had to hurry.
After searching the forest for a while, he saw three three-horned elks gathered together.
Ning Shi didn’t retreat. He also wanted to test the defensive power of his golden tenacity innate talent, so he directly rushed forward.
As his physique became stronger and stronger, Ning Shi’s strength became greater and greater, and the damage of the butcher knife in his hand on the three-horned elks became higher and higher. In the past, it would take more than a dozen cuts to cut the belly of the three-horned elks.
Now, he could often cut open his stomach with two or three stabs, causing fatal injuries.
Ning Shi made use of his flexible body and footwork to dodge and move between the three three-horned elks. He would stab them from time to time, even if he was occasionally attacked by the three-horned elks.
It was also blocked by his tough defense.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes. Ning Shi fought against three and killed three three-horned elks, obtaining 6000 experience points.
Ning Shi measured his combat power in his heart and felt that he could now engage in close combat with Level 2 radioactive creatures. Even if he could not win, he could still escape.
The specific outcome would probably depend on their performance.
In this way, Ning Shi’s danger level in the Level 1 radiation forest was greatly reduced. Level 2 radioactive creatures would occasionally appear in the Level 1 radiation forest, but Level 3 radioactive creatures were rarely seen.
To be able to resist Level 2 radioactive creatures, Ning Shi was able to protect himself in the Level 1 radiation forest.
“It seems like I’m not in a hurry to return to the stronghold even if it’s dark.”
As Ning Shi was thinking, the game system also sent a prompt.
[ Do you want to use the Level 4 biochemical technique to decompose the three-horned elk’s corpse? Hint: The Level 4 biochemical technique can completely disintegrate Level 1 radioactive creatures, and has a certain probability of triggering the trait of multiple explosions. Yes, no. ]
Ning Shi chose yes.
The body of a three-horned elk on the ground was a blur as it was broken down into various pieces of flesh and blood.
[ Decomposition successful. Obtained 10 pounds of Level 1 jelly meat, 1 black horn of the three-horned elk, and 1 portion of the meat essence of the three-horned elk. ]
Without triggering the special trait of multiple bursts, Ning Shi once again used the biochemical technique and decomposed the body of the second three-horned elk.
Still, he only obtained one portion of meat essence. The multi-burst trait has not been triggered.
“It seems that the probability of this multi-burst trait is not high.”
Ning Shi had already given up hope. He had dissected the last three-horned elk, but he was pleasantly surprised.
[ Decomposition successful and triggered multi-burst trait. You have received 9 pounds of Level 1 jelly meat, 1 black horn from the three-horned elk, and 5 portions of three-horned elk essence. ]
This burst of luck not only triggered the multi-burst trait but also triggered it five times.
There were a total of seven portions of meat essence. Ning Shi ate all of them, and his physique increased to 22.16.
The sun had already set, and the visibility in the forest had become very low, but Ning Shi had not left.
He had avoided fighting at night the day before because he was not strong enough. Now that he had grown stronger, he should learn to fight at night.
Fighting in a situation where his vision was limited could train Ning Shi’s perception and combat instincts, thus awakening more physical talents.
Ning Shi walked lightly in the night, holding his breath and walking through the forest.
Ning Shi first encountered two three-horned elks that were gathered together. After killing them, he obtained four pieces of meat essence. Then, he ran into a group of elks and fled in a sorry state.
They were all very sudden encounters.
Fortunately, the radioactive creatures were violent and did not know how to run away. Otherwise, with his vision at night, he would be very reckless most of the time and would not be able to get anything.
After getting used to it for a while, Ning Shi gradually learned to judge whether there were any radioactive creatures in front of him, as well as the size and number of radioactive creatures, based on characteristics such as the smell of living creatures and the falling of the grass.
He didn’t just rely on his vision.
These improvements helped Ning Shi avoid the sneak attack of a green-eyed wolf.
This was a lone green-eyed wolf. It was hiding in a bush and was hard to detect with the naked eye. If it wasn’t for the fact that Ning Shi had smelled the stench of the green-eyed wolf, he would have been bitten by it from behind.
