Last Totem Novel - Chapter 289
Chapter 289 Garter
Looking at the Paradise Fruit on the table, Tie Zha exhaled heavily and sincerely asked, “Friends, is this really necessary?”
The two women crossed their fingers in front of their chests and made a prayer gesture as they blinked their rippling eyes and said, “Mm-hm ~ I’m so looking forward to it! Bless you ~ My warrior ~”
Looking at the two pretentious women, Tie Zha only felt that the world was spinning. He didn’t know if it was because of the loss of blood or because his blood pressure was too high that caused the capillaries in his brain to rupture. At this moment, the two humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex incarnated in plastic bottles that could not be unscrewed looked like they were waiting to be fed.
He shook his head and sighed helplessly, “Alright, I’ll give it a try …” Then, he shook his hand and put the two Paradise Fruits into his pocket. He looked at the two women left and right and explained, “Wait for me for a while, I’ll go wash my hands first.” With that, he stood up and walked out of the dining hall under the watchful eyes of the two women, heading towards the bathroom.
After leaving the sight of the two women, Tie Zha immediately turned sideways and circled around the room. Then, he turned back to the hall from the other side and left the door.
What a joke! He was an Iron Mountain Town bully, a man who would rather die than surrender. How could he be bullied by two little girls?
After returning to the Atlantic Mansion, he greeted the two old maids and cooks and went into the attic to sleep.
He was speechless all night …
The next afternoon, the afternoon sun shone into the quiet room through the roof skylight. Tie Zha rolled over and slowly woke up. After gradually regaining consciousness, he was about to get up, but at this moment, he suddenly sensed an inexplicable abnormality. His heart instantly trembled, and a chill quickly spread from top to bottom to his limbs and bones. Cold sweat instantly soaked his back. At some point, two unfamiliar figures appeared in the room. Narrowing their eyes, the two of them wore large gray cloth robes and miserable white masks. They quietly stood on both sides of the bed, appearing exceptionally seeping.
However, Tie Zha quickly calmed down. First of all, if the other party didn’t take advantage of his sleep, he definitely wasn’t the one who came to harm his life. Secondly, among the people he knew, the only ones who could quietly appear here without alarming the guards outside or him were the two of them.
After guessing the identity of the other party, Tie Zha pretended not to see anything. He rolled over and continued to sleep.
Half an hour later …
“I can’t help it anymore. I’m going to throw him out in the pool …” A cold mechanical synthesis voice came from the left. The voice cords were slightly hoarse, showing a male orientation.
“Why don’t we give him another chance? If he hasn’t woken up on the count of three, we’ll throw him out of the window.” The mechanical synthesis of another male came from the right. Although the voice was male, it carried a hatred of a small woman, giving off a very strange feeling.
“Okay ~” “One, two …”
Just as he counted to the second time, Tie Zha woke up and looked blankly. Then, he greeted the two women and said, “Good afternoon, friends.”
The two women snorted at the same time and did not say anything.
Seeing the two women’s indifferent reactions, Tie Zha sighed to himself. The best way now was to hug them and ruthlessly trample them in his embrace, so as to completely eliminate their resentment. In the past, he had often used this move against Lena, and he was unhappy with it. However, the trouble now was that if he went forward to make out with one of them, the other would cut him in half. Looks like we need to find an opportunity to separate them …
After thinking through this point, he used the excuse that “the wound was a little uncomfortable” to ask the gray-robed man from Mu Yu Ling Lan to go downstairs and bring a medical kit. He wanted to change the dressing. Perhaps because of the guilt of accidentally injuring him, the gray-robed man left the attic without a word and went downstairs to get the medicine chest.
“Kacha.”
After the small door closed, Tie Zha immediately got up and hugged the gray-robed man beside the bed. The gray-robed man did not struggle at all and fell into his embrace without any bones, allowing him to manipulate him. Then, he lifted his mask and revealed an exquisite face as expected. Without waiting for the other party to react, he imprinted it in one mouthful.
“Mm” A lingering kiss was like morning dew, sweet and delicious, fragrant and pleasant.
As she parted her lips, Tie Zha rubbed her waterfall-like silver hair and put on her mask again.
“Push! Push! Push!”
At this time, the sound of the heels hitting the ground came from far to near, and Tie Zha quickly lay back on the bed, pretending that nothing had happened.
When Mu Yu Ling Lan returned with the medical kit, Tie Zha asked You Ge to “drink some water”. Bing Xue, who was smart, naturally saw through his intentions and refused without thinking. The reason was, “Let’s drink together later.”
Seeing that he couldn’t get rid of You Ge, Tie Zha had no choice but to admit it. Then, he took off his coat and asked Mu Yu Ling Lan to change his dressing.
“Huala!” During the change of dressing, Hui Zhilan’s Mu Yu Ling Lan accidentally broke the bottle of medical alcohol and made a reasonable request to her handkerchief, “I’m sorry ~ Ling Lan is stupid ~ I have to trouble the princess ~”
You Ge, who could not find a reason to refuse, stomped his foot angrily and went downstairs to get the spare medical kit. After You Ge left, Tie Zha pushed towards the goddess as she wished and kissed her for a long time. Only when You Ge’s hurried footsteps came did the two part reluctantly.
Perhaps because of the passionate kiss, the two women did not fight and did not make things difficult for Tie Zha in the following time. They both showed their docile and obedient side.
After changing the medicine and bandaging the wound, the three of them drank tea in the hall, and the two women left the Atlantic Mansion together. They were not only the upper echelons of the Student Union, but also one of the most popular candidates for the core echelons of the two major forces in Silver City, so they didn’t have much time left.
After the two women left, Tie Zha had a few days of comfort. In the past few days, no one had come to disturb him. He was at home peacefully recovering from his injuries, eating and sleeping. Occasionally, he would ask the old maid to read newspapers for him and understand the news of the Silver City world. He had a leisurely and comfortable life.
At noon that day, Tie Zha felt that his injuries were almost healed. After lunch, he took out a bright red spherical crystal that emitted a faint glow in the small pavilion. This was the Crimson Hegemon’s core. When he took the Paradise Fruit that day, he took it out of his bag and brought it back in his pocket.
Now that his injuries were basically healed and his body had recovered to its peak state, he should be able to absorb the psionic energy in the crystal core. However, the Crimson Hegemon’s crystal core definitely contained much more energy than the Abyss Hegemon or the Abyss Ant Queen. According to the textbooks, the Abyss Hegemon needed to devour a large amount of spirit stones in order to advance to Crimson Hegemon, and the amount of spirit stones consumed was roughly “200 gats” or “20 liters of liquid psionic energy.” The so-called “one gatt” was a liquid psionic potion that contained 100 ml, also known as a “gatt”.
Gatecrystals are potions used by low-level psionic practitioners in Silver City to strengthen or replenish their psionic powers. Because of the large amount of high-radiation mineral impurities contained in the gatecrystal, it was harmful to the human body, so high-grade psionic artists would not normally use it. Usually, only those psionic abilities that had limited talent and had no chance of breaking through to Tier 6 in their lifetime would use Garter to increase their combat strength.
A Tier 2 Psionic Adept who consumed a 1-gat liquid Psionic Ability would be able to reach the strength of a Tier 3 Psionic Adept within half an hour, or would be able to recover from a state of exhaustion to a state of abundance. However, within twelve hours, Tier 2 psionic practitioners could only use a safe dose of “1 gat”. Otherwise, all sorts of side effects would occur. If used too much in a short period of time, it can even cause capillaries to burst and bleed to death. This was a safe dose based on a Second Grade psionic artist. As the level increased, the safe dose used during the same period of time would increase accordingly. For example, a Tier 4 psionic artist would be able to take a safe dose of 2 gat within 12 hours.
As the utilization rate of spirit ores by humans was extremely low, less than 1%, the amount of spirit ores required for 200 gallons of liquid spirit power contained at least 20,000 gallons of psionic energy. At present, scientists have not accurately estimated the utilization rate of the bee ant swarm to the spirit stone mine, but unofficial data show that the utilization rate of the bee ant swarm to the spirit stone mine is at least more than 60%.
This meant that the Abyss Hegemon needed to absorb at least 12,000 gats of psionic energy to evolve into the Crimson Hegemon. Their psionic energy storage containers were the crystalline cores in their bodies. Even if it was split in half, the psionic energy contained in this bright red crystal core was at least 6,000 gats.
Tie Zha hesitated for a while before deciding to give it a try. After all, there was too little information in this regard, so it was impossible for him to consult the relevant information on the Internet. If you want to become stronger, you have to take risks. After making his decision, he closed his eyes and carefully felt the crystal core in his hand.
A moment later, a few tiny blood vessels stretched out from his wrists and quietly climbed up, instantly covering the surface of the crystal core …
Gradually, an abundant amount of energy poured into his body through the tiny blood vessels. At the beginning, he felt an indescribable warmth all over his body, as if he was soaked in warm water. However, as time passed, this energy grew larger and more ferocious. At first, it was like a small hole that had been washed away, but now, it was like a dam that would collapse at any moment. The flood of energy struck his body. He felt the blood vessels in his entire body tense, as if they could break at any moment.
Unknowingly, his eyes were dyed with a deep red color. At the same time, dense, tiny droplets of blood appeared on his skin. At this moment, he felt as if his skin had been torn apart. Indescribable pain came from all over his body, as if he would die in the next moment.
A strong sense of crisis arose. He maintained his last bit of consciousness, wanting to retract the blood vessels that were attached to the surface of the crystal core. However, at this time, those blood vessels seemed to be attracted by a magnet. No matter how much his consciousness urged them, they remained motionless, tightly entangling the crystal nucleus and sending back the energy that was like a huge wave that swept through the sky.
Suddenly, Tie Zha’s consciousness became weaker and weaker. In the end, he tilted his head and fainted completely …
