Chapter 185: B-Rank Goldie p2
Following this trend, Lin Jiayao would inevitably have more and more evolutions, and those evolutions that she hadn’t chosen before would definitely be chosen in the end.
As long as Lin Jiayao kept logging in, she was almost uncontrollably fusing various evolutions…
Grotesque forms would only be late, but they would definitely not be absent. The ultimate healing form of [Perfect Form] before was a good example.
After confirming that Goldie was evolving in an orderly manner, Lin Jiayao looked at the evolutions retained after Goldie’s extraction.
[Please retain your evolution.]
[Please retain your evolution.]
[1. Insulated Rubber Skin Lv.1 (Blue): Makes your skin secrete a special mucus, covering your whole body, slightly increasing defense, immune to sunlight, and immune to corrosion.]
[2. Spirit Lv.4 (White): Moderately increases your mental power, making you immune to some negative mental states and mind control.]
[3. Constrictive Coils Lv.1 (Blue): Makes your tentacles have better binding ability, and can strangle the target by contracting and binding.]
Lin Jiayao had already chosen the rarer evolutions of the C-rank Goldie. Now only some less special evolutions that Goldie had were left.
That [Constrictive Coils] was probably Goldie’s only offensive method.
And the first one, [Insulated Rubber Skin], was indeed a practical skill for zombies, but for Lin Jiayao, who was not afraid of sunlight and could use Divine Skin Armor to resist corrosion, it was basically useless.
Choosing this evolution was equivalent to just buying herself a translucent rubber suit. Besides looking a bit kinky, it didn’t have much use.
In comparison, [Spirit Lv.4] was more in line with Lin Jiayao’s current needs. It was simple but practical, and urgently needed.
Soon, Lin Jiayao finished choosing and selected the second one, Lv.4 Spirit.
After a cool sensation swept through her brain, Lin Jiayao felt that her mental power had been greatly improved compared to before.
If she could only log into B-rank zombies twice every three days before, then now Lin Jiayao should be able to log in once a day.
This slightly solved Lin Jiayao’s problem of insufficient mental power.
According to the general mental power standard of Hive Zombies, after being promoted to B-rank, Goldie was very likely to have the evolution that Lin Jiayao urgently needed, which could greatly increase her mental power.
If it was just enhancing mental power, there shouldn’t be any evolutions that could cause mental pollution.
With the system’s help, Goldie’s evolution only needed three hours to complete.
So Lin Jiayao also dismissed the idea of logging into A4 or Mask to extract and get some evolutions, and planned to reserve enough mental power to log into the B-rank Goldie.
Three hours, whether it was spent in the training ground or logging into other zombies, would pass in the blink of an eye.
After weighing it, Lin Jiayao took out the three Blood Crystals she had just obtained and opened the training ground.
She just happened to have three Blood Crystals, which could be used for three hours of training, and the evolution would also be completed in three hours.
At such a perfect time, it was definitely best to spend these three hours in the training ground.
As for what training to do, Lin Jiayao had already thought of some.
After entering the training ground, Lin Jiayao looked at the training selection interface in front of her and silently said: “Language.”
Soon, a [Language Lv.Max] entry appeared in front of her, marked with “trainable”.
Originally, Lin Jiayao thought that one Blood Crystal could only master one language family or even just one language.
But to Lin Jiayao’s surprise, one Blood Crystal could actually train all languages to mastery directly.
Was language too cheap? Or were Blood Crystals too valuable?
Or was it because language was easy to instill, so the “price” seemed relatively cheap?
Whatever the reason, it was obvious that in the system’s eyes, these native languages of Earth were far less valuable than a Blood Crystal.
Lin Jiayao didn’t hesitate and directly chose language as the first hour’s training project.
After mastering languages, with the absolute safety guarantee of the [Safehouse] to protect the “goods”, Lin Jiayao could sell Blood Crystal Serum to large organizations around the world.
She could recoup the cost of this Blood Crystal in minutes.
Moreover, for her next plan, Lin Jiayao had to learn Japanese for communication, to command the cult in Japan to work for her. Language training was a must.
For the next two Blood Crystals, Lin Jiayao chose [Dodge] and [Parry] as training targets respectively.
Although these two seemed simple and basic, they would indeed substantially enhance Lin Jiayao’s combat ability, and it was definitely not a loss to exchange them for two Blood Crystals.
Moreover, after the Blood Crystal Farm was established and the global trade of Blood Crystal Serum was started, she would definitely not lack Blood Crystals, and there would be no need to worry about what to train. She could just fill it up whenever she had free time.
It really felt like harvesting Blood Crystals from all over the world for her own use and strengthening herself.
After selecting the training targets, Lin Jiayao left the system interface, opened her eyes, and extended her right hand to remove Huayibai’s small hand from her waist.
Supporting herself and leaning against the headboard, Huayibai also “woke up” almost simultaneously.
Although Huayibai was still leaning against Lin Jiayao’s arm, her eyes were a little unfocused.
It seemed that she was concentrating on completing the instructions Lin Jiayao left her before extracting.
At this time, Lin Jiayao’s attention was not on what was in front of her, but quickly switching between the little green bugs’ perspectives, searching for her sister’s location.
Soon, after switching through several familiar locations, Lin Jiayao saw her sister’s figure in the ash area.
Looking down from the aerial view, Lin Jiayao saw her sister with a calm expression, wearing a black jacket, walking slowly in the ash area under construction.
Beside her stood Wan Zi, with a serious and focused expression, slightly lowering her head and saying something, followed by several members of the ash area’s management.
Her sister, without her by her side, perhaps because of daily contact and influence, had a calmness on her face as if it was carved from a mold.
But now, her sister seemed to have the demeanor of a leader, at least in terms of strength, she had directly reached the standard.
Another Awakened had been promoted to B-rank. This was a significant boost to the camp’s confidence, and it was probably also the reason why her sister chose to go to the ash area at this time.
Because her sister came from a camp, she knew very well what ordinary people in the camp needed.
Confidence, hope, with these, they had the capital to persevere.
After confirming that there was no danger to her sister, Lin Jiayao was just moving her attention away from the flying insect’s perspective when she felt Huayibai gently touch her.
“Hmm?”
Feeling Huayibai’s touch, Lin Jiayao looked down at Huayibai, who was leaning against her and looking up at her with a surprised expression.
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing something wrong with Huayibai’s expression, Lin Jiayao rubbed her head with her hand and asked.
Originally, Huayibai just widened her eyes, but after Lin Jiayao touched her hair, she pouted and burst into tears.
“Mommy… Huayibai’s flying car was shot down… woo woo woo…”
Huayibai raised her head, wiped her “tears” with her arm, and cried loudly, very sadly.
“Flying car? Where?” Lin Jiayao patted Huayibai’s back and asked patiently and softly.
Huayibai had several “flying cars” departing from Chongyu City, transporting supplies to the ash area of Kun City, and three more in America, helping Lin Jiayao carry out the task of deploying Hive Zombies.
No matter where it was, being destroyed meant that there might be uncertain threats around Lin Jiayao, which had to be cleared.
Especially in America, she had just logged out not long ago, and it was estimated that Huayibai had only flown less than ten kilometers.
“Woo woo woo… the big fat guy that Huayibai took to another city was blown up, and Huayibai’s flying car too…” Huayibai intermittently recounted her tragic experience, crying even harder when she talked about the grievances.
Generally, Huayibai wouldn’t cry over such a small matter. Let alone a “flying car”, even if her entire clone was blown up, she wouldn’t cry out in pain.
But the key was that she was carrying out the task Mommy gave her… If she completed it successfully, Mommy would give her a reward!
But now, an inexplicable missile had shattered all of Huayibai’s beautiful fantasies.
Thinking of the reward that was about to be hers being blown away, Huayibai felt aggrieved from the bottom of her heart.
America?
Now was a critical moment for Goldie’s evolution, and Lin Jiayao didn’t want to encounter any trouble.
Although the system would solve any trouble during evolution, Lin Jiayao didn’t want to face trouble as soon as she logged in.
“Did you see where the missile came from? Did you see their team or camp?” Lin Jiayao asked while gently stroking Huayibai’s back with her hand.
“I saw it, but as soon as Huayibai saw their iron car, a bomb flew over…” The more Huayibai spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, and she added angrily, “There’s only one strong one, Huayibai wants to go over and swallow them all!”
“Don’t.” Lin Jiayao rubbed Huayibai’s head and stopped her thoughts.
The “strong one” that Huayibai mentioned might be a B-rank.
A B-rank Awakened leading a team, no matter what, Lin Jiayao couldn’t let Huayibai, a fungus, take the risk.
If possible, it was best to wait until Goldie’s evolution was complete before taking Huayibai to take revenge.
“Did you mark their location?” Lin Jiayao looked at Huayibai and asked.
The people in America might not have the concept of guarding against fungal zombies. Perhaps in the explosion, Huayibai’s spores drifted with the wind towards the team and attached to their bodies or vehicles.
“Some spores landed on the roof of the car… but Huayibai can’t invade the one who got out of the car, and the others are all in the car, so Huayibai can’t invade them either.” Although Huayibai was very sad, she still answered Lin Jiayao’s questions seriously.
“Um… it’s okay, you just wait there for me to wake up, don’t leave casually, okay? If you’re obedient, there will be a reward.” Lin Jiayao thought for a while and said.
Sure enough, after Lin Jiayao mentioned “reward”, Huayibai almost instantly forgot about being attacked just now, and her little head nodded rapidly at Lin Jiayao.
Lin Jiayao directly used the reward temptation method, and the effect was outstanding.
After comforting Huayibai, Lin Jiayao slowly frowned.
A B-rank Awakened team… what was going on?
Headshavers? Hand of Freedom? Or some other organization in America?
Advancing in the middle of the night? Were they on a mission?
Lin Jiayao, who knew very little information, couldn’t figure out the purpose of this team, and only hoped that she wouldn’t encounter them when she logged into Goldie later.
Of course, if she did encounter them, she hoped that they would encounter them during the evolution process, and let the system directly kill them all. Then she could pick up some Blood Crystals and B-rank corpses when she logged in.
For the rest of the time, Lin Jiayao had nothing to do. In order to divert Huayibai’s attention, she took her to prepare a sumptuous lunch, waiting for her sister to come back, and accumulating energy for logging into the B-rank Goldie.
Three hours later, after receiving all the experience from the training ground, Lin Jiayao left a note for her sister, lay back on the bed, and closed her eyes.
In the [Login] entry, the original evolution mark on Goldie had disappeared, and Lin Jiayao directly chose to log in.
If she was lucky, extracting once would be enough to give her enough mental power to prepare for “possessing” an A-rank.
