Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Change the Situation (10 more chapters for subscription requests)
Lin Shen took out the Poison Mushroom Beast’s Base Mutation Fluid and directly gulped down a big mouthful. He had already developed a certain resistance to the Poison Mushroom’s Base Mutation Fluid, but previously he had only come into skin contact with some and hadn’t ingested it directly like this. This gulp did indeed provoke some reaction.
Lin Shen felt an itching sensation in his body and saw undressed little fairies flying before his eyes.
Evolution Theory activated once again, continuously operating.
Soon, the hallucinations and the itchiness were fading away, but his watch prompted: “Absorbed Mutated Poison Mushroom Beast Base Mutation Fluid, base mutation rate +0.”
Dissatisfied, Lin Shen continued to drink the Poison Mushroom Base Mutation Fluid, exacerbating the symptoms of poisoning in his body.
Finally, when he was about to finish the Mutated Poison Mushroom Beast’s Base Mutation Fluid, his watch informed him that his base mutation rate increased by +1, reaching 6 percent.
By then, Lin Shen roughly understood; it seemed that not only Mutated Crystal Base could increase his base mutation rate, but likely any variety of mutated base mutation fluid could as well, as long as they were different types. The same type of base mutation fluid, after being used frequently, would not increase the base mutation rate any longer.
The key lay in Evolution Theory. Without Evolution Theory, using mutated base mutation fluid would not increase the base mutation rate. That was the main point.
With this discovery, Lin Shen was greatly excited. He could finally increase his base mutation rate, and his advancement to Alloy-level was within reach.
Although it was slightly more difficult, as he needed to find different types of mutated base mutation fluid to increase his base mutation rate, this was still better than no progress at all.
Based on his past experiences, Lin Shen guessed that the higher the level of the mutated base mutation fluid, the more it would increase the base mutation rate. For example, a Mutant Sea Demon God General could increase his rate by five points, while a Mutant Poison Mushroom only by one point.
By this logic, if he could find 19 more types of Mutated Crystal-based Creatures, he would be able to reach a 100 percent base mutation rate. If it were Mutant Steel Creatures, then he would need 94 different species.
Considering this, it really wasn’t easy. It was definitely not achievable back home, but on this planet, it shouldn’t be too difficult.
“Should I continue to stay here after the countdown ends?” Lin Shen pondered over this issue.
If he didn’t stay, it would be hard for him to advance outside, but to stay and take down Mutated Crystal-based Creatures was no easy task either, as it required risking his life.
He didn’t have many trump cards in his hand. The Angel Revolver counted as one, Fei Zai (Fatty) as another, and if the Death Powder could complete its evolution, it would also count as one.
The problem was that these three trump cards weren’t the kind that could provide stable output.
The Angel Revolver needed high-level capsules to function, which Lin Shen currently didn’t have; he only had one bullet made of Death Powder.
It was uncertain how strong Fei Zai really was. If it wasn’t strong, how could it suppress the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast?
Yet if it was strong, why hadn’t it killed the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast?
Moreover, although the Black-Capped Mushroom Beast was intelligent and capable, it was still just a mutated alloy; its intelligence and the multitude of underlings were its strongest attributes, not its level.
The actual effectiveness of Fei Zai against Mutated Crystal-based Creatures remained an unknown.
It was also unclear when the Death Powder would complete its evolution. For now, it could only be used as a bullet.
In fact, Lin Shen had another trump card, but it required too many deaths, and he did not rely on it.
As Lin Shen was considering this, he suddenly saw Wei Wufu approach him. Wei’s strong hands grabbed his shoulders, gazing at him with deep emotion.
“Wei… What are you doing…” Lin Shen tried to back away, but the tree trunk was right behind him, leaving him with nowhere to go.
“Hurt feelings, anesthesia, useless, cheer up, man up, only then will she have a change of heart,” Wei spoke as if he was more articulate than before.
Lin Shen immediately realized that Wei had noticed something between him and Lu Qing and mistakenly thought that he was still hung up on Lu Qing, using the Poison Mushroom Beast’s Base Mutation Fluid to numb himself.
“Brother, I get it, can you let me go first?” Lin Shen said with a bittersweet smile.
“It’s tough, but practicing the blade technique, it’s useful.” Wei Wufu let go of Lin Shen and handed him his alloy blade, saying with a resolute expression.
Lin Shen didn’t really want to take it, but seeing Wei Wufu’s demeanor, he still took the blade.
It was rare for Wei Wufu to offer comfort; Lin Shen felt that if he didn’t cooperate, it would seem kind of unfair to Wei Wufu.
Once Lin Shen had taken the blade, Wei Wufu began to demonstrate the blade technique to him.
Wei Wufu’s blade technique was truly powerful; even just the demonstration dazzled Lin Shen.
The variations in the blade technique and movement were so numerous and complex that Lin Shen, who had a rather average memory, would forget the latter moves as he remembered the earlier ones, and vice versa. He had to practice multiple times to remember them.
“Wei, isn’t there a simpler blade technique?” Lin Shen sighed, he really felt like giving up.
“Simple, one day, learn it,” Wei Wufu stated.
Hearing this made Lin Shen even less inclined to learn. “Your sister, learn it in one day? I’ve been studying for so many days, and I still haven’t memorized all the variations. It really is maddening to compare oneself with others.”
“Wei, don’t you find this way of practicing the blade tedious and boring?” Lin Shen put the blade aside and sat down with a huff.
“No, it’s interesting,” Wei Wufu shook his head.
“Alright, you’re not normal. For such monotonous practice to be interesting to you is also quite expected. But I’m just a normal person, this type of practice is way too boring for me, and it’s pointless. Even if I did learn it, I wouldn’t be able to keep practicing. Without practice, I can’t perfect it, and imperfection leads to flaws. Flaws make it easy for someone to kill me…”
“Get to the point,” Wei Wufu interrupted Lin Shen.
“Have you ever thought about teaching me in a different way?” Lin Shen squinted his eyes and proposed.
“Change? The way?” Wei Wufu asked, puzzled.
“Look, for example…” Lin Shen got excited, stood up, and, with both hands, picked up the heavy golden crystal trident beside Wei Wufu, walking over to a large tree.
Then, using the trident, he etched one circle after another into the tree, big circles encapsulating small circles, much like tree rings.
After laboriously drawing a good number of circles, Lin Shen stepped back with satisfaction and then, gripping the hilt of the alloy blade, he aimed at the circles he drew and threw the blade with force.
The alloy blade stuck in the tree trunk, right within one of the circles.
“See… the largest outer circle is worth one point, then this smaller part here is worth two points… three points… four points… and the center is worth ten points,” Lin Shen explained on the side.
People watching Lin Shen’s video feed were stunned. This wasn’t blade practice that Lin Shen was doing; it was more like a game of darts.
Even though Wei Wufu had only demonstrated a few blade techniques, those with a bit of understanding could tell that his proficiency might have reached the level of a master.
There were countless people who desired to learn from Wei Wufu but could not, and even a few pointers from him would have been incredibly beneficial.
And here was Lin Shen, being personally taught by such a master, yet he was reluctant to learn, complaining that it was too troublesome, and even concocting some knife-throwing game. This was practically an insult to Wei Wufu, the master of the blade technique.
Many could only lament that rich people can be so willful and playboys will be playboys, amazed at the audacity of his idea.
“That’s possible,” Wei Wufu wasn’t bothered at all and actually nodded in agreement with Lin Shen.
