Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 31 A Giant Called Player
Another level of power.
Luke carefully experienced the feeling after releasing the power of the red dragon, which was very close to that of Clear Sky at level 80. However, in a fight, he would definitely not be the opponent of Clear Sky at level 80, whose abilities were perfectly coordinated. He was considered to be close to the strength of a 4-star hero.
After all, this is only the ability of Swinburne Barry Snake. It is impossible to really turn into a dragon by eating a piece of dragon meat.
Luke felt an explosion of energy within his body.
This feeling... is so great!
Trolls have strength and powerful recovery abilities, and red dragons also have strength and powerful recovery abilities.
There is also a layer of dragon scale defense.
The best of both worlds.
Luke felt that if he encountered danger, even if he could not defeat the opponent, as long as he was not killed instantly, he should be able to log in to Clear Sky to provide support.
Finally, I don’t have to worry about my life all the time.
The red dragon's power was revoked, and Luke's body was transformed and restored, with the dragon and snake tattoo reappearing on the back of his right hand.
It’s just that the color of the dragon snake’s right hind leg has become much lighter, which is caused by the use of the red dragon’s power.
Just feed it a small piece of dragon meat to recover.
And dragon meat... there is too much stored in the Clear Sky Space backpack.
He asked Qingkong for a piece of dragon meat the size of a fingernail and placed it on the back of his right hand.
The dragon snake stretched out its head and swallowed it in one gulp, then it was imprinted on its skin and turned into a tattoo pattern again. Its right hind leg became clear again.
Look at the time, it's almost dawn...
The only way to verify the changes brought about by this secret technique is to find time to test it.
Luke asked Qingkong to log off and walked back to the dormitory the same way he came.
Take a nice bath and greet the new day comfortably.
When I felt hungry, Kylena brought me breakfast.
After Kylena cleaned up the room for Luke, she looked at the detective sitting at the table eating and drinking, and asked in confusion: "Detective, I feel that your body has changed a lot. Your strength seems to have increased a lot, and the tattoo on your right hand...
If I hadn't recorded your features yesterday, I would have suspected that you were someone else."
As a special function modified person, Kaileena is very sensitive to external information and has a strong ability to discern. She can feel that Luke has changed a lot overnight. You know, he was still a very ordinary person yesterday.
But the recorded information told her that this person was Inspector Meteorite of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
Therefore, Kylena was very confused.
Luke looked at the dragon and snake tattoo on the back of his hand, smiled and said to Kylena: “What you saw yesterday was my disguise, and my strength is recovering.
Did anything special happen last night and this morning?"
At this time, Kaileena was absolutely loyal to Luke.
In response to Luke's question, she replied, "Inspector, the curfew outside has ended and the city is returning to normal. As for the situation with the Axe Madness, Captain Black Mamba has already taken people over to confirm.
But the intelligence that kept coming in at night showed that the area should be secured.”
"It seems that the Mad Axe is still quite capable, and it's worth our full support." Luke picked up the napkin to wipe his mouth, and then said to Kylena: " Send someone to inform our sponsors and tell them that I invite them to the Secret Service for a meeting. First, I'm new to the job and I want to meet everyone and deepen our relationship; second, discuss everyone's future prospects; third, help the Mad Axe get through this difficult time."
"I will immediately send someone to inform them of the specific time of the meeting."
"Today... There is a curfew tonight, so ask them to come at three in the afternoon."
"Yes, Inspector."
Luke pushed the cutlery forward and said, "After you're done, change into casual clothes and follow me out on the case."
Hearing this order, Kylena asked in confusion: “Detective, I…I’m just a clerk. Shouldn’t I take Captain Black Mamba and Captain Pisco with me when handling the case?”
"Do you think taking them both out is a case?"
"This..." Kylena felt that she couldn't refute it. As a confidential secretary of the Secret Service, Kylena was the one who cleaned up the most for the two of them.
"It's decided. You've received formal magic education since childhood, so your strength should be no weaker than Black Mamba, but you don't have her combat experience and ruthlessness.
There is no need to kill anyone in this case, you can just use magic to help me control the situation."
Since the inspector said so, Kylena had no choice but to reply: "Yes, inspector. I will prepare it immediately..."
Kylena put the tableware into the food box and left with it.
While Luke was waiting for Kylena, he analyzed his next move.
Before performing the secret technique to obtain his bloodline, Luke had many paths to choose from.
But after obtaining the "Taotie" bloodline, one can only build his own power system around this bloodline.
The routes to choose from are fewer and clearer.
Now Luke has only built a foundation. He still has a long way to go if he wants to build a high-rise building.
It means that a huge amount of resources need to be invested in it.
Qingkong is so strong because she stands on the shoulders of a giant called "Player".
Whatever materials you need, you can easily collect them in the game.
At this time, Luke didn't even have the equipment to extract dragon blood, let alone process its materials.
Some things are not available even if you want to buy them.
In this world and at this time, the secret arts are a very basic power system. The state and private research groups will not spend too much money and resources on a power research that has almost no theoretical basis and relies entirely on experience and luck.
With that money and talent, investing in magic, steam technology, machinery, human body modification, and extraordinary training... wouldn't that be great?
In the later stages of the Anno game, the mystic arts can surpass other power systems, and this is achieved by players "playing" with their own lives.
This also results in many mysterious props and materials being unique to players.
Luke's cell phone contains the processing methods of these mysterious props and materials, but he does not have the equipment to make them.
There is a world of difference between pouring dragon blood directly into your mouth and making it into a beverage.
The taste is also very different.
As a port city facing the world, Nutao City can buy the necessary equipment and materials through the port here.
But this requires money, a secret laboratory, safe channels, and a protective umbrella ...
There are so many things that are needed.
The identity of the detective of the Royal Secret Service of the Golden Shield Empire must be used well. As long as you can dig your own rabbit hole in all directions, even if your identity is exposed one day, you can still thrive here.
While Luke was making plans for himself, Kylena, who had changed her clothes, knocked on the door and walked in.
She was wearing a morning glory dress, calfskin round-toed boots, and a lady's hat tilted on her head.
White lace gloves, with a magic wand inserted in the left cuff.
"Inspector, can we go now?"
Luke put on his hat and picked up his cane: "Go... go through the back door, don't attract anyone's attention."
