Chapter 221 Departure

"The Devil's Clock Hand"

"Performance: Spiritual Will +0.5, Synaesthesia Charm +0.5"

"Skills: Demon's Rebalancing, Demon's Improvement"

"Devil's Rebalancing: The Demon of Time likes balance, so the explorer's spiritual will and synaesthesia charm will be added up and then averaged. If the result is an odd number, the Demon will be extremely considerate and "make up the level" for you. difference. 》

"Re-Improvement of the Devil: Consumes half of the user's physical strength, half of the magic power, all mental power and psychic power, and obtains a "stagnation" effect of [total value/100] seconds, covering a diameter of [total value/10] meters . 》

"While the effect lasts, the user cannot recover magic, physical, mental, and psychic powers. Any mechanical, physical, chemical, or magic reactions will immediately enter a "stagnant" state after leaving the user's contact. 》

"When the 'Re-Improvement of the Devil' ends, the "Demon of Time" will sense the user's presence and launch a 13-day pursuit of the user. The level of pursuit is equal to the user's level. 》

"If there are other abnormal bodies nearby, the abnormal bodies will know the user's existence through the Demon of Time's vision, and choose to sign a contract with the Demon of Time. If the contract is established, the Demon of Time will give up the pursuit, and the anomaly will become the pursuer. The duration is also 13 days. 》

"What a cheat..."

Looking at the attributes of "Devil's Clock Hand", Lin Huai'en couldn't help but sigh.

The increase in spiritual will and synaesthesia charm in "Devil's Clock Hand" seems to be a lot, but after "Devil's Rebalancing", his actual spiritual will only increased by 0.1 points, reaching 1.4 points.

Needless to say, "The Devil's Improvement" can be called the dungeon version of "just out of the dragon's pond and into the tiger's den again."

The only good thing is that neither the Abnormal nor the Demon of Time are interested in destroying the Explorer's Pass.

Therefore, this characteristic can be used to deal with other human explorers, especially those "unethical" high-level explorers.

"A nuclear weapon that can damage itself by eight hundred and injure the enemy by one thousand."

Lin Huai'en gave a suitable evaluation to this "equipment" and then put it in his arms.

According to the "Declaration" obtained by holding the "Devil's Clock Hand", Lin Huai'en has completely understood its usage.

When using "Devil's Clock Hand", he must press the crown on the top of the pocket watch, and then hold the crown down for the duration of the skill without letting go.

Otherwise "The Devil's Improvement" will end prematurely.

Then coupled with the terrible effect of "consuming half of physical strength, half of magic power, and all mental and psychic power, and it cannot be recovered even if you drink magic potion during the duration," what he can do during the duration of the skill is, Actually quite limited.

Probably throwing something at the enemy, shooting a few bullets with one hand, and running away with Tanya on his back.

As for stabbing the opponent to death within the duration of the skill——

Lin Huai'en looked at the description of the "stagnation" effect and couldn't help but sigh.

The solidification of time and space at the quantum level can turn the softest hair into a sharp instrument that can penetrate into muscles.

After receiving "The Devil's Clock Hand" from the Minister of Welfare, Lin Huai'en received two sets of cold-proof equipment from the Minister of Control, both of which were official sets of the association. The three ministers pooled their money to help him and Tanya fill in the equipment. This part of the funding hole has been eliminated.

The little head of the control department supervised Lin Huaien and the others, and took off the Shangdu City labels on the equipment before nodding.

"I am different from Lao Shi and Minister Hong. When I left the dungeon, I sold almost all my equipment, but Lao Shi belongs to the Department of Punishment and still needs to keep the old things for use."

"All I can do is prepare some clothes for you, and Lao Shi, let me give you this."

Minister Xiao said as he handed a red right-hand glove to Lin Huai'en: "It has cold resistance and should be of some use."

Lin Huai'en was stunned for a moment, looked at the gloves in his hands, and said sincerely: "Thank you."

Minister Xiao shook his head: "It's just a courtesy. We have already left the underground city. The rest will be left to you, the people who come after us."

As she spoke, she staggered towards her desk. Only then did Lin Huaien notice that just like the Minister of Welfare who often rubbed his head, Minister Xiao's legs and feet were not in good condition.

Theoretically, she is a black card level explorer and will not have this basic physical disability.

We can only think that these are the "sequelae" left to them by the dungeon.

After feeling wary of the "number of deaths" repeatedly emphasized by the Dungeon Association, Lin Huai'en took the "temporary pass" handed to him by Minister Xiao.

"They are all valid for one month." Minister Xiao looked at Lin Huai'en with calm eyes: "If you can't reach the 20th floor within a month, then these two temporary passes will automatically become invalid. And if you can get there, you can come back As long as you reveal your identity as an urban explorer, the guards will naturally let you back."

"One month...is enough."

Lin Huaien looked at the thin card in his hand and nodded.

He took a deep breath, looked at Minister Xiao and said, "If I can come back, I will treat you to dinner."

The short minister had already lowered his head and dealt with other matters: "No need, no reward for no merit, you can just do your job with peace of mind."

No reward for no merit...

Lin Huai'en knew that Minister Xiao's meaning was very clear, and he sighed helplessly.

He stood up and silently left the Welfare Department's office together with Tanya.

Minister Xiao was silent for a while, then suddenly looked towards the corner of the office:

"You can come out now."

.

After getting the pass from the control department, Lin Huaien did not set off immediately.

One month is indeed a bit rushed for a trip to the 20th floor, but it is enough to reach the destination.

Before that, he had other things to do.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Lin Huai'en looked at the young man in white in front of him, smiled and said hello: "As mentioned before, I'm here to 'imitate' [Super Speed]."

"A level 34 psyker...what a monster..."

Today, Li Muen has long lost his desire to compete with Lin Huaien. In order to make up for the shortcomings of [Super Speed], he has been doing intensive training. Not long after he came out of the dungeon, he even walked with a limp.

"Ark Holdings" also has enough resources to recover from his soft tissue injuries, and after watching the sample film of "The Wind Passes", the headquarters has increased its investment in him.

Therefore, in Li Muen's words, he felt a little more grateful to Lin Huai'en.

"Is your sister okay?" Lin Huai'en greeted slightly politely.

He has Li Muen's best friend, and the only news this young man in white can post is related to his sister.

"Thanks to you, she has woken up." Li Muen shook his head, unable to hide the smile on his lips: "I saved my life, but we still have to see the postoperative results."

Lin Huai'en nodded: "That's good."

Even with his sister's kindness, Li Mu'en had nothing to say. After Katarina disappeared and the demo of "Wind Passed" was successful, his voice in Windrunner has invisibly increased.

Ark Holdings also intended to make friends with the Triple Crown team of "Thieves in the Day", so they accepted Lin Huai'en's request to "imitate" Shen Su without much trouble.

It was just a "symbolic" offer of some compensation.

"This is 500,000 yuan."

Lin Huaien handed over the bank card he had prepared, and Li Muen handed it to the traveler behind him.

After Lin Huaien used [Imitation] to copy Li Muen's skills, he chatted for a while and then left.

.

Spending 500,000 to buy a [Super Speed], even though it was only a level 1 [Super Speed], Lin Huai'en still felt it was quite a bargain.

"Every time you use 2 more points of physical strength, can you double the speed... It's so simple and crude..."

He looked at the skill description and couldn't help but sigh.

[Imitation] The level 1 divine speed copied can only be used up to 3 times the speed. With his current physical strength of 257, he can only use it for a maximum of 64 seconds. Even if his physical strength is increased to the full value of 500 points in the shallow dungeon, it will only last 2 minutes and 08 seconds.

"Three minutes of lightning speed, well deserved..."

Recalling that Li Muen was out of breath after fighting with him for only a short while, Lin Huaien finally understood what was going on.

But when he thought about the battle with Li Muen, he remembered one more thing——

"The Martyr's Sword uses 50% of the magic power to replace 50% of the physical consumption."

Lin Huaien took out the white long sword he got from Li Muen.

After maintaining the gray-green fury in the straight-blade state, the "Martyr" in the form of a long sword suddenly became useful. Coupled with the exaggerated physical consumption of [Super Speed], Lin Huai'en today can almost be regarded as a A "little popular traveler".

"It's a pity that I haven't obtained the 'Physique Enhanced' skill yet... Otherwise, with three times the [Curse of Loneliness] plus three times the speed of [Supernatural Speed], at this stage, no red card-level explorer can compete with Let me compete...not even the blue card explorers..."

Lin Huai'en thought about his complete self at this stage, and felt a little more confident about this trip to Siberia.

On the other hand, another wishful thinking he had made before came to nothing.

"Go to Siberia to expand the suppression space?"

Taking advantage of Tanya's opportunity to take a shower, Lin Huai'en took the time to ask Ziyuan, but received a completely negative answer——

"No, no, I am a "Noise Level" abnormality after all. I can't deploy it under any circumstances."

The golden kitten shook his head desperately: "I need the right soil and temperature. The reason why I was captured by you and kept silent is because my body is really fragile. That kind of thing in Siberia The place planted the seeds in me, and the next second I went straight back to my roots.”

Seeing the frightened expression on the kitten's face, Lin Huai'en was speechless.

Thinking about the "Shadow Forest" that almost covered the entire Twilight Forest, he finally understood why Ziyon was called "Noise Level Abnormality".

"Forget it, I might meet the "White Wolf King" this time. Do you want to come with me?"

Lin Huai'en shook the tuberose pendant around his neck. This jewelry contained the power of "Perfect Flower" and could theoretically allow Ziyuan's body to attach to it.

"Okay, it's quite boring to stay here anyway."

Seeing that Lin Huai'en gave up the "terrible" idea of ​​planting her body in Siberia, Ziyuan regained her laziness. She yawned loudly and stretched out on the bed: "But the farther you are from my body, , my power becomes weaker, so most of the time I will stay in the pendant and watch what you do. Don’t call me out if it’s not necessary.”

"Can."

Lin Huai'en nodded. Anyway, there was already an Elsadova, and there was no shortage of strange peeping creatures, including Ziyuan.

That night, Lin Huai'en thought about it again and again, and finally spent all his savings and bought a large backpack of 240 liters, 3 times compression, and 5 times weight reduction.

In addition to his previous 80-liter backpack, he and Tanya headed to Siberia carrying a total of 320 liters of load.
