Chapter 471: Blessed by the Insane Fire...
"It seems the company will have to wait a while before it can fully recover 'Hunger'."
Colin grunted, and the recycling was over.
It should be difficult to find other fragments in a short period of time...
Of course, the only thing known to be scattered outside is the "hunger" that is deeply rooted in his body, a small part that is like a fragment, but also seems not to be a fragment.
However, if he wants to recover this part, he will probably have to wait until he becomes a "Fire Bearer" or reaches level B.
Otherwise, even if it reaches C level, the best you can do is to prevent it from breaking out.
There is no way to further utilize or process it.
"Having said that, having this 'Hunger' attached to me isn't without its benefits. First of all, there's a very good chance that there's some kind of invisible attraction between the 'Hunger' fragments. I'm afraid I'll encounter more of them in the future..."
"besides……"
"If I successfully ascend to the 'Fire Wielder' stage, why does it feel like I'll naturally be able to master 'Hunger' and become a proper 'Hunger' Jinchūriki?"
Colin raised his eyebrows, realizing that there was no need to take it out at all.
After all, the Fire Bearer seems to be able to naturally control hunger.
At that time, "Fire Bearer" and "Hunger" will work together, and his numerical panel will be stronger than other "Fire Bearers" right from the start.
In this situation, he didn't know how to lose—
Oh, it seems that this doesn’t work. There are always stronger people in this world.
Otherwise, Rosen would not have been in charge of the entire "0-09·Hunger" team.
"call……"
Colin withdrew his thoughts and patrolled the surrounding area with Shana, eliminating all the heretics of the "Devouring Festival".
After the strong light flashed, all the aura in the bodies of these heretics disappeared completely, and even the blood flowing in their bodies was directly purified into pure water that could be drunk on the spot.
Then, he died suddenly.
"hiss……"
Colin took a deep breath, feeling that this scene was even more bizarre than seeing a person being blown up by a punch.
However, they returned to their territory only after making sure there was no problem.
Within the territory, under Shana's protection, tens of thousands of people didn't even know what had just happened outside.
They only knew that the "Bonfire" God's Messenger seemed to have invited the "Light" Saint to send down the light of blessing, expel the haze in people's hearts, and purify and eliminate many viruses.
"Praise the great 'Bonfire' God, it is he who brought the holy light..."
"In Praise of 'Bonfire'..."
The unknown bonfire believers prayed.
Looking at this group of people who were bathed in her light but grateful to others, the saint had a strange look in her eyes, with an indescribable subtle feeling.
More than ten hours passed quickly.
At dawn the next day, a sudden tremor came from one side of the territory, coming from far away and gradually approaching...
A huge shadow with a huge body is rushing towards this side.
Every step he took caused the ground to shake violently.
A group of people who were plowing the land were startled, dropped their pickaxes and ran away.
"Don't worry, don't run, it's okay." An employee looked into the distance, picked up the loudspeaker in his hand and comforted everyone.
It's okay if they run, but the key is that it would be bad if they stepped on the potato seedlings.
This is Xintian...
As a cadre of the "Bonfire Church", his words are relatively effective.
People stopped and were stunned when they saw what was coming, then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's the 'Holy Beast'! The Holy Beast of the Praise Bonfire Church, the Holy Beast of the Mountain of Corpses..."
A bonfire believer with old-fashioned ideas knelt on the ground and chanted devoutly.
As he knelt, other victims also knelt down and devoutly chanted the name of the "Smiling Mountain of Corpses".
“┗|｀O′|┛Ah~~”
The mountain of corpses responded from afar.
"Ah... that doesn't have to be the case."
The employee in charge of farming looked at the believer kneeling beside him with some helplessness, and then he looked up at the huge meat ball with a diameter of more than ten meters, supporting the round body with both hands and rushing towards him quickly.
There are many employees hanging on its body and in its mouth.
The mountain of corpses did not stop along the way. When it was near the farmland, it suddenly changed into shadows and dived into the ground and swam quickly towards the chapel.
Without damaging the surrounding farmland...
…
Outside the chapel.
The shadow formed by the mountain of corpses arched upwards here and turned into a fleshy ball.
Then, after hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly spat out the employees in his mouth like spitting out watermelon seeds.
In order to avoid falling directly to the ground, it kindly caught the employee with its hands.
"How's your mission going?"
Colin stood at the church door, holding a bowl of freshly brewed braised beef noodles, and glanced at the group of people:
"It seems no one died?"
"Um."
"Life mentor Keaiduo" was lying on a stretcher and was carried over.
Colin took a quick look. The man's body was riddled with bite marks, especially his hands, which were cratered with more than a dozen nicks. One of his feet, starting at the calf, had been bitten to the point where only pink bone remained, flesh clinging to it...
Many tooth marks can still be seen on the bones.
Colin looked past him at the others. They all had injuries, ranging from the lightest to the most severely injured, with their eyes a bit dazed and their lower bodies missing, but they were still alive, breathing with difficulty...
"My legs, feet and butt hurt so much..." he muttered to himself.
The other employees kindly consoled him, "No, it's all hallucinations. My butt's in the storage room. It doesn't hurt anymore. Don't overthink it..."
…
Following Colin's gaze, Cornetto glanced at his own people. Thinking of what happened before, he couldn't help but grit his teeth:
"I don't know what those guys did to make us feel like our connection to our bodies is unstable. Otherwise, we wouldn't be hurt at all if we killed them all..."
"Damn it, that's right, the beating was so disgusting." An employee carrying a stretcher couldn't help but curse.
Halfway through the fight, they suddenly felt as if their "traffic" had been diverted away.
As a result, the originally favorable situation was almost turned around by the enemy.
It's very frustrating...
Kelin listened to this and felt that the translation meant "If it's stuck, kill them all if it's not stuck."
He may not be strong in terms of strength, but he is good at talking.
Well, that's not entirely correct. Considering all the employees, that should be the time when "Ms. Rabbit" deployed her army.
Maybe there is indeed a small problem with the signal.
Ke Lin waved his hand: "It's okay, as long as I'm alive."
After a pause, he continued, "Did you bring back any limbs or anything else?"
"I brought it." "Life mentor Keaiduo" took out a bag from the "storage room".
The bag looked like it was filled with pork, pieces of rotten meat, some bones, etc...
This was what he later dug out from the enemy's stomach. It's still active and should be usable after washing and cleaning.
"That's fine." Colin nodded.
Although they did not bring back the missing limbs, it is not impossible to recover through various means, but employees who often lose limbs know that recovery will always be much slower.
Then, he ignored the strong smell of blood in the air.
Colin summoned the "Seal of the Fire Tree".
The moment the huge tree appeared, countless aerial roots hung down like tentacles, piercing into their bodies and wrapping up all the injured bit by bit.
At the same time, Colin also asked them to activate some of their own talents, and then let the little maid combine them with other functional props with healing effects.
Providing medical treatment to those present...
"It should take two or three days for everything to recover."
In this regard, Colin is relatively generous and does not reduce the use of resources for the sake of saving.
After all, the faster injuries heal, the sooner employees can return to work.
Someone has to complete the backlog of work in the territory.
"By the way, Brother Shunzi, how is the mission going?" The "Life Mentor Keaiduo" wrapped in the fire tree made a voice from the root cocoon.
"Everything went well." Colin made an "OK" gesture.
Upon hearing this, all the employees, including Cornetto, breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
It is foreseeable that they will get a lot of points after their return.
"I successfully recovered 'Hunger', and then I got a severed hand, and the details of the secret deal with the 'branch'. I feel like I can get quite a lot of points this time..."
Colin thought about it and felt that this time, he should have a good harvest.
At least when it comes to points, "Ms. Rabbit" never treats anyone unfairly.
There should be an opportunity to upgrade "Time Stagnation" to further expand the scope and increase the duration.
Upgraded from 7 seconds to 9 seconds.
Even though it's only two seconds, for an expert, these extra two seconds might give him the chance to find a steamroller.
Shaking his head, Colin turned back to the Vatican and told Shana that he should be able to share some of her points next time he came in.
"Ah, is it okay..." Shana was stunned.
"Of course. After all, without you this time, 'Hunger' wouldn't be found at all."
Colin nodded, affirming the role of this "saint".
"Okay, then, thank you." Shana nodded to express her gratitude. She had been observing for some time and was sure that the points these people received were much higher than hers.
Think boldly, maybe it’s ten times as much!
She wasn't quite sure about the specifics of this situation, but she didn't worry too much about it. Firstly, she couldn't do anything about the parchment, and secondly, she always had enough points.
Most of the time, it is used to save others, and a small part is used on oneself.
For example, when entering the "Light Dreamland", summoning tree diagrams and the like requires a certain number of points to open, generally ten points at a time to go once.
Then, opening the tree diagram also requires ten points...
It also costs ten points to close it.
One trip costs about thirty yuan.
In the past, in order to save money, she would accumulate a lot of tree diagram nutrients before going in to improve herself.
Now, because of the large points given by Mr. Colin.
Everything started to become less embarrassing.
Of course, even if it wasn't urgent, she had no intention of experiencing functions like spending a few hundred points in the "Light Dream" to transform her appearance into a "mythical form".
Those things were just like changing clothes. They didn't offer any real improvement, and they meant little to her. Furthermore, they were a bit too extravagant...
A few days passed quickly and the time to leave was approaching.
As before, Shana gave Colin an extremely exquisite and heavy gold seal.
The surging "light" energy above almost overflowed.
"Just this one mark alone feels like it's worth thousands of points."
Colin weighed it in his hand and assessed it secretly.
In addition to him, Shana also gave all other employees some smaller golden seals that were made with just a flick of the wrist.
Although the results were not as good as Colin's, the employees were also very happy.
After all, judging from the effects of those golden beans before, this thing is really useful!
…
“Ding~ding~ding~”
The distant and ancient bell sound slowly fades away in my ears...
In the small bedroom, Colin opened his eyes and looked at the familiar ceiling with a dazed look on his face.
This time the arrival lasted too long, even he felt an inexplicable trance.
It lasted for almost half an hour before it got a little better.
"call……"
The "Snow Girl" that Colin had casually released at some point sprayed a puff of icy mist on his face, then made a somewhat hollow and eerie "Hehehe" sound and floated away like a ghost...
"I really envy you. You're such a carefree optimist wherever you go. You don't need to deal with jet lag at all."
Colin shook his head and felt much better.
The surroundings no longer felt that strange yet familiar discomfort.
After taking a deep breath, he first took out the parchment.
After unfolding it, the words "Mission Accomplished" appeared.
[In this incident, your evaluation is: A.]
【You completed this event with excellent performance. 】
[The following is your reward after completing this event mission: 81,000 points, 1 Special Talent Lottery Ticket, 1 Special Grease Ticket, and 9 Gold Mission Certificates...]
[All items have been transferred to the "storage room", please check.]
…
"Eighty thousand points, the company really made a lot of money this time."
The first thing Colin did when he saw the reward was to express his admiration for how much he had received.
Instead, they realized that Bonfire Company had also gained a lot...
Otherwise, given the company's characteristics, it would be impossible to ask it to give more points besides the minimum points .
Only when it eats meat and drinks soup can its employees have bowls to wash and bones to chew.
"As for points, upgrading Time Stop to nine seconds should be no problem. If I give it to Shana, splitting it in half doesn't seem like enough. If I don't split it in half, I should give her around 25,000 points."
"I wonder if she'll feel it's too little..."
Colin held the parchment in one hand and pinched his chin with the other, thinking about how many remaining points he would have later.
The pile of points I just got were quickly used to plan where to go.
Then, he glanced at the mission vouchers again. They weren't too many, but they should be enough to redeem a lot of points for the "Gene Compensation Panel"...
"What's this 'special grease ticket'?"
Colin took it in his hand and read the item description: "With this ticket, you can receive ten liters of 'Fire Bearer's Grease' every week..."
This... He glanced around the "storage room".
Sure enough, the severed hand was handed over.
Also handed over was the letter containing the coordinate system of the "Sheltering Kingdom of God."
"I feel like this deal is... a bit of a loss."
Colin scratched his head. The weekly supply of grease was almost enough before, but now there are ten more liters.
It’s not that it’s not possible, but I just feel that the price-performance ratio is not enough.
Then, he continued to look at the "Special Talent Drawing Ticket", which said that he could obtain a talent of the lowest purple level.
"This is quite good..."
Colin has given up the idea of synthesizing it himself.
I don't know if there's something wrong with the company's talent synthesis, or if it's due to some other reason, but it's a huge pit anyway.
"Hoping for a better purple... huh?"
As he spoke, Colin used it casually and found that an orange glowing font appeared.
