Chapter 480: Fusion is a great success!
【Fusion is a great success! 】
"Wow! Awesome! Cool!" Su Ming clenched his fists excitedly.
He won the bet!
It's so cool! The two S-level abilities have been successfully fused, and the unusual super S-level ability Hell Return finally has a matching object!
He swallowed, suppressed his violently beating heart, and clicked on the feature he had just acquired. The name of the feature was [Conqueror of Hell].
[Conqueror of Hell: Since you are used to hovering on the edge of death, then don't go back. Isn't it better to stand on the edge of hell to gain strength?
Rating: S
Effect: In battle, as the combined physical and mental strength declines, you will slowly gain combat power commensurate with the degree of decline, and your mental deterrence to surrounding conscious entities will gradually become stronger; your immunity to damage will gradually increase; after entering a near-death state, some of the damage you received will rebound.
The increase in combat power will increase as the duration of the battle increases, and the increase will stop when entering the near-death state. 】
Su Ming read the long list of effect descriptions over and over again.
Then he took a breath!
This is too powerful. In the past, the fusion of those characteristics usually took some characteristics from both sides and then merged them together, and the other minor advantages would disappear. However, the Hell Conqueror obtained this time is a little different.
First of all, the Hell Return, which was originally triggered only when entering the near-death state, can now be triggered without entering the near-death state, just like the Berserker, the more injured he is, the stronger he becomes.
Secondly, as the injury becomes more serious, a range of deterrence will be generated, which is somewhat similar to a weakened version of the demon's fear aura.
The effect of this deterrent halo should be a variation on the enemy's fighting spirit in Desperate Enlightenment. Originally, the enemy's fighting spirit would affect the triggering of the effect, but now the degree of one's own injury will affect the enemy's fighting spirit. It can be regarded as a change from passive to active, and it can also be regarded as an enhancement of the effect.
Then there is the anti-injury in the near-death state, which is considered to be a weakening of the anti-injury effect of Desperate Enlightenment. Originally, the anti-injury was gradually enhanced, but now it can only be triggered in the near-death state... However, although it is a weakening, compared with the enhancement of other effects, this small weakening is not worth mentioning at all.
Finally, Su Ming noticed the last sentence of the effect description.
"Hmm? What does this mean? The increase in combat power... will increase with the degree of injury and the duration of combat, until it reaches a near-death state?" Su Ming repeated the words on the panel.
Judging from the literal meaning, it seems that although he can actively enter a near-death state through self-harm, the combat power bonus of that near-death state is not as good as the bonus of slowly entering near-death after continuous fighting.
Seeing this description made Su Ming a little worried. He was a little afraid that this was a disguised weakening of Hell's Return.
But Su Ming soon calmed down because he felt that this should not be a weakening. Since he had super intuition, he felt that it could not be wrong.
"Not bad, not bad. I am very satisfied , but... the name..." Su Ming looked at the name of the characteristic and frowned in dissatisfaction.
Was this system created by me before I lost my memory? What kind of a shitty naming program is this? The names I came up with are so tacky, not at all impressive.
If he were to name the game, he would definitely not give it a name like a soldier in a game. It would definitely have to be something catchy and meaningful.
"Husband~what are you doing?"
Xia Xiaoyu opened the door and walked in. When she entered the room and saw Su Ming with bloodshot eyes, she was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyebrows twisted together in guilt.
"I'm sorry. Are you tired? I'm sorry that I worked so late yesterday," Xia Xiaoyu said guiltily. "From now on, do it during the day and sleep well at night."
"That's not the reason. I'm thinking of a name for the new power. Xiaoyu, if you have a power that can make you stronger when you are near death, what would you name it?" Su Ming asked.
When Xia Xiaoyu heard that Su Ming's fatigue was not caused by her, she immediately became cheerful again and started to think of a name actively.
"Well, there are many ways to name this, such as the ability to become stronger in a near-death state... um... standing in the abyss of death without falling... being reborn beyond the limit of death... reversing the state of death, etc. What do you think?" Xia Xiaoyu tried hard to think of a few names that she thought were good, and looked at Su Ming tentatively.
Su Ming frowned and shook his head repeatedly: "Hey, it seems that we are not compatible."
He never expected that Xia Xiaoyu's naming skills were so poor. If it were him, he would definitely name it something like: The more I die, the stronger I become; I can become stronger when I am injured; When I am injured, I become invincible inexplicably, and so on.
Although the last name is a bit too long, it is both humorous and attractive. Su Ming feels that this name can not only be used as the name of a superpower, but it can even be used to write a novel!
Oh my god, his damn aesthetic is so advanced!
Su Ming looked for the name-changing function in the system interface, but was disappointed to find that there was no special name-changing function, so he had to give up.
Su Ming, who had completed the integration, looked up and found Xia Xiaoyu still standing in the room, staring at him with an annoyed look.
"Xiaoyu, why...are you looking at me like that?"
"What the hell did you just say? You actually said that you and I are incompatible! Are you crazy to say that? If you go out and find a woman like me who is a perfect match for you, I will hang myself here! Boy, you don't even know how long I have been practicing to get along with you..." - These words went through Xia Xiaoyu's mind, but she would not say them out loud... It was because he was favored.
What the big sisters on the Internet said was right, there will be conflicts between couples, so it is normal for her and Su Ming to have conflicts.
It is said that couples quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, and all conflicts can be resolved at night.
After successfully regulating her emotions, Xia Xiaoyu gave Su Ming a sweet smile.
"... Let's go out to eat. The captain has prepared the food."
Su Ming nodded blankly. He felt like he had a momentary illusion just now and almost thought that Xia Xiaoyu would rush up and beat him up.
But it was indeed an illusion. How could Xiaoyu beat him? She was so gentle.
Thinking of this, Su Ming's tense nerves relaxed again and he felt better.
…
"Xiao Ming, the deputy director just called me. I sent her our sailing route. She is on the way to pick us up. Judging from the route, we will meet her in about four days. As long as we meet her, we will be safe." Jiang Yichuang said expressionlessly.
As he spoke, he kept picking up food with chopsticks and stuffing it into his mouth. His movements were quite rhythmic, giving people the feeling that a robot was processing dishes on an assembly line. He also kept stealing glances at Jiang Xueying while eating, which made him seem a bit weird, but when you think about the fact that it was a rare occasion for the brother and sister to eat at the same table after not seeing each other for many years, it was understandable.
Thinking of this, Su Ming glanced at Jiang Xueying beside him, only to find that Jiang Xueying was staring at Jiang Yichuan with disgust.
Oh no, the sister also felt that her brother's eating habits were too weird. This was not okay. If this continued, the captain would be even more pitiful.
"Captain, when you eat... can you not be so mechanical? Just eat more of what you want. You don't have to process it in turns like a program. No, you have to pick it up for you." Su Ming persuaded tactfully.
"They are all delicious." Jiang Yichuang said.
"But it's strange that you're doing this. Although it's indeed very elegant, but...how should I put it, it's too restrained, and lacks a bit of humanity, no, human touch. Captain, you can order whatever you want with your food, even cross your legs." Su Ming said as he gave a hint with his eyes and glanced at Jiang Xueying next to him.
Jiang Yichuan glanced at Jiang Xueying and immediately understood. He picked up the ribs and said, "Speaking of which, these ribs are good. This is my favorite dish. I am very good at making it. I have a secret method for making ribs."
The scene was silent and everyone stopped eating. Su Ming felt that Jiang Yichuan had a good understanding, but he was a little too aggressive in execution.
Should I say this is the captain's character? It's a bit speechless.
"It's really delicious! I haven't eaten such tender ribs in a long time. How did you make it?" Lei Qianxin came to the rescue.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming was so moved that he almost cried. No one else at the table had empathy for the captain except him. In other words, this uncle cooperated with him purely out of theoretical and moral reasons. He was the kind of person who would do good things even if he didn't have good intentions!
Su Ming thought Jiang Yichuan would seize this opportunity, but apparently he had too high expectations of him, because Jiang Yichuan gave a long list of boring recipes afterwards.
Although it was only a short minute, after listening to the precise recipe accurate to grams, everyone felt like they were apprentices at New Oriental, and the atmosphere was once extremely cold.
"The captain is so pitiful." said Xia Xiaoyu.
Upon hearing this, Su Ming nodded in agreement. Then he realized something and turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu in surprise.
Xia Xiaoyu glanced back at Su Ming and said calmly, "Because I think the captain is annoying, I guess everyone thinks so, so... he should be considered pitiful."
Objective analysis.
"Actually... you still think he deserves it, right?" Su Ming asked.
Xia Xiaoyu nodded honestly: "Yeah, it's too annoying. Why don't you talk to him later and let him go to the kitchen to eat alone, so that his sister won't be annoyed by him."
Su Ming remained silent. He felt sad for the captain from the bottom of his heart.
…
Dragon Island.
For the first time, Ambrose saw Gabriel's superior qualities that were unmatched by others.
He found that Gabriel had a very flexible mind, as well as outstanding intelligence integration and analytical abilities.
After Su Ming defeated Alfred and killed Qing Ling, Zhang Yu and Wei Shilong, they lost track of Su Ming and had no clues about his whereabouts.
So originally, it should be very difficult for them to find Su Ming's current whereabouts.
However, three hours ago, Gabriel told him that he had come up with a plan for pursuit.
"Liu Lingshan might have left Dongyang Island to meet Su Ming." Gabriel pushed open the office door and strode to the desk.
There were two people following Gabriel, both of whom Ambrose knew. The one on the left was called Ding Yao, an S-level mutant, and the other was called Dax, who seemed to be Gabriel's confidant and often helped to deal with affairs.
"Uh... I understand! As long as we look at the direction of Liu Lingshan's airship, we can guess the route of Su Ming's airship, and then intercept them! We'll do it right away!" Dax realized it immediately.
"Dax! What are you talking about? Do you think Liu Lingshan is the kind of person whose thoughts you can guess?" Gabriel frowned.
Dax was stunned. He had no idea what to do. The only reason he had just thought of was directly rejected by Gabriel's words.
"Then...what do you think Liu Lingshan is thinking?"
"Dax, you shouldn't try to guess what that person is thinking. That guy is a shrewd person who has lived for hundreds of years. It would be arrogant for anyone to try to guess what she is thinking. I mentioned Liu Lingshan just now because I wanted you to pay attention to the time... We don't have much time left." Gabriel said.
Dax nodded to show his obedience, but he still looked confused and didn't know what Gabriel wanted to order.
Gabriel stared at Dax and said clearly, "Send out all test subjects 7 to 30. Calculate the time it takes to leave the island from the moment Su Ming defeats Zhang Yu, calculate the distance their airships travel, and then have them conduct aerial patrols with the Molten Iron Island as the center and the distance as the radius."
Dax was shocked when he heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he almost peed his pants out of fright.
He understood Gabriel's intention. This plan was actually a carpet search, searching all the airships where Su Ming might be.
But this is obviously impossible! Not to mention the tight time schedule, the workload of searching all the airships within the range is too much for them to bear, so the only thing they can think of is that the leader wants to shoot down all the airships that may contain Su Ming!
"Lord Gabriel, I don't think it's right! This is unrealistic! Although killing Su Ming is indeed important, but..."
"Dax!"
Gabriel shouted coldly, interrupting Dax's persuasion.
He frowned slightly, stared at Dax with an idiotic look, and then slowly said: "What are you thinking? You don't think I want to shoot down all those airships? Do you think it's possible?
That is simply impossible to do. The outer surface of many airships is made of Koganeka steel, and the people riding inside don't know what it is. What if there is a group of S-class inside?
Why do you think I would come up with something like this? I look like a crazy idiot.
Dax's mouth opened and closed like a frog, and whatever he wanted to say was lost.
He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his double chin and said tremblingly: "So... what do you want?"
"Last night, I asked Alfred to tell me all the details of his confrontation with Su Ming. The first time Alfred was defeated was because Su Ming deceived him. I won't go into the specific details here. In short, during their conversation, Su Ming made two calls and received one call. This means that when Su Ming was deceiving him, he also exchanged information with other people.
According to the investigation of our companions in the alliance, the members of Bureau 7 who were on Molten Iron Island during this period included Jiang Yichuang and Zhou Yuhao. They went there to hunt down the Iron Demon. Of course, this is just the text recorded in the business trip file and is only in name.
The Molten Iron Island and the Alliance have always been at odds. The Iron Demon has been hiding on the Molten Iron Island for a long time, and this is known to everyone. There have always been a lot of people who violate the contract there, and they will not be dealt with now if they need to.
Therefore, they definitely didn’t go there for the Iron Demon!
If I do some further research later, I will be able to guess their real purpose for going there, and now I know that purpose."
