Chapter 662: Chapter 662

662: Chapter 642: Client Side 662: Chapter 642: Client Side Lu Ping’an is only third-tier, yet the parts on him are a bunch of Silver-tier.

The combined combat power of these Silver-tier parts, managed by him, have formed a system that is beyond the comparison of ordinary Silver-tier.

Not to mention far away, even Zhi Xi, and Little Flame, who is becoming more and more like an elemental creature, are genuinely Silver-tier combat powers.

When the condition is limited to “full power”, and the contract has restrained both sides in the fight, Lu Ping’an saying “I can fight two on my own” may just be an understatement.

After all, his full power, at the very least, signifies a simple stacking of three or four Silver-tier combat powers.

“…..Tch, this is truly disgusting.”

Lu Ping’an sighed helplessly and chugged down the big bottle of Magic Potion.

The expensive “Human-faced Spider” concoction turned into a toxin, directly eroding his nerves, making his face stiff, unable to move his body.

This was only the beginning of this Silver-tier Magic Potion’s effects…

The stiff, seemingly lifeless Lu Ping’an was dragged by Miss Lululu and directly buried underground…..

even Meow “accidentally” stepped on him.

This grudge-bearing Meow had been tormented for several days…

her tail hair had almost been pulled out by Lu Ping’an!

But Lu Ping’an only looked at her blankly, it was hard to say whether he turned his head intentionally or by accident…..

but this made Meow immediately puff up her fur and quickly scurry away.

After wandering around for a while, she came back with a cloth and wiped it twice as if nothing happened, despite knowing that Lu Ping’an couldn’t feel anything at this point.

Lastly, she used her sparse tail to sweep the ground where Lu Ping’an was buried, then ran away feeling guilty…..

It seemed to her that she had been psychological shadowed by the recent stress Lu Ping’an had been under.

The Human-faced Spider concoction, a core component of several deadly fourth-tier poisons, was invaluable and needed precious core materials…..

The fifth-tier spider demon’s poison sac had cost Lu Ping’an a lot of credit points.

While this Magic Potion is deadly when paired with poison, when used alone, it has another characteristic.

“As expected, completely paralyzed…”

With his nerves and flesh eroded by the poison, Lu Ping’an lost all sensation and was sealed underground, entering a sort of pseudo-death mode…

or a “pseudo-death ritual”.

He needs to find his body and nerves in complete darkness and chaos, or face his own death…

usually, if he doesn’t get up within seven days, it’s game over.

“How long do you think he’ll take?”

During this process, if he can successfully complete the ritual, his control over his body will be greatly enhanced.

Also, his nerve reflexes would get a boost, as this was one of the few Magic Potions that could consistently enhance “Reflex”…

even though the risk wasn’t low, among Silver-tier dangerous Magic Potions, this level of “cost” could only be considered moderate.

The truth is, Lu Ping’an climbed out only three hours later…..

but he didn’t look happy, just furrowed his brow, appearing a little upset.

[Host congratulations on completing the ‘Zombified Spider’ ritual, Spiritual Power slightly enhanced, Reflex slightly enhanced, body balance moderately increased, a lot of experience gained in Spider Walk Technique, Blind Fight slightly enhanced, a slight revelation received in Combat Intuition…..]

The Silver-tier Magic Potion wasn’t taken for nothing, the enhancements were listed on Lu Ping’an’s system panel.

But he still seemed a bit dissatisfied.

“Reflex is still stuck at the black iron middle-rank, isn’t it supposed to be easy to improve with a lower absolute value….

The most annoying part is that Breathing Technique didn’t move a bit.”

The moment he was buried, the “external breathing” naturally stopped, and his body naturally entered the ritual’s “internal breathing” or “pseudo-death” state.

It was said that this Magic Potion could also somewhat improve the Breathing Technique, which is actually the surprising selling point…..

Lu Ping’an tried to complete his Breathing Technique as quickly as possible, but it seems, he failed again this time.

“…It’s not an external issue, you still need more…” The big cat made a judgement, the “Breathing Technique” still hasn’t formed, perhaps Lu Ping’an is still lacking some key elements.

“But the basic attribute enhancement…

Chris, didn’t you say the chance of improvement is high?

My Reflex attribute is very low, a Silver-tier Magic Potion ought to do it, right?”

The big cat on the other side also fell silent, not because she didn’t know how to respond, but because she too noticed some subtle truths.

“Lu Ping’an, you should have noticed…

The magic potions don’t work well on you, perhaps your resistance not only at the quasi-rule level, but also for magic potions.”

Even though a magic potion is a “self-cursing” and “self-transformation ritual for the potion taker”, different professionals have varying effects when taking the same potion.

Some people are tolerant to potions, even low-level magic potions need a long time to digest, some people are insensitive to drugs, the feeling of erosion after taking the medicine is very poor, while this is generally a good thing, it means that one can take more drugs in a shorter time…

Lu Ping’an’s resistance is even stronger, which has led to poor effects of magic potions, which is obviously abnormal.

“…Yes, the effects of the magic potions have always been mediocre for me.”

Lu Ping’an sighed, this was both good and bad, the bad part was that he might have to spend more money buying potions, the good part was that he should have high resistance to various “transformations”, “life curses”, and should have a certain resistance to possible poisoning and assassination.

“…But there must be a reason.”

Lu Ping’an was still confused, his constitution was normal, without chaotic bloodlines, there was no reason for this resistance…

Decree-level potions should be able to ignore his current transformations and directly force a mold.

“…Maybe a part of you that takes the potion, your flesh ‘outside’, is not all of you…”

Big Cat’s words were a bit difficult to understand, but after thinking about it, Lu Ping’an had an epiphany.

Lu Ping’an also knew that his “external body” was not all of him, together with the courtyard was the complete Lu Ping’an.

If it was just a speculation before, after the super high-precision spirit vision of “Curse Eye” Fenglian Flower with a prophet-like body, Lu Ping’an was certain of this fact.

After getting familiar with it, Lu Ping’an also “accidentally” asked why she was so horrified as if she had seen a ghost when they first met…

In her eyes, Lu Ping’an was just a “puppet” controlled by the black mist probing from the void, the real Lu Ping’an was actually in the void.

In other words, the human-shaped Lu Ping’an is just a human-shaped interact outgoing interface made by “Courtyard”.

“Heh, the Courtyard is the main body…

After thinking about it for a bit, Big Cat gave a plausible answer, and once the answer was obtained, finding the evidence was quite simple.

The most direct evidence is that Lu Ping’an’s own advancement and promotion would bring changes to the Courtyard.

When he had spatial system abilities, the Courtyard added an option for teleportation.

After he joined the Gardener profession, the Courtyard was able to produce a garden on a large scale.

After he took the Contractor profession, he had a series of “contract agreements”.

Recently, Lu Ping’an discovered that after he became a third-tier Gardener, the effects of his Courtyard’s garden had notably intensified, and the rate of the Courtyard’s “weed” growth was also increasing.

“So, in theory, if the Courtyard changes, I should have changes…”

After Lu Ping’an put forward this hypothesis, after thinking about it, Big Cat gave the answer.

“Yes, one part of your breathing technique is actually missing…

You don’t have the life drain trait, but your ‘breathing technique’ is clearly absorbing the pollution and essence of other lives.”

Hearing this, Lu Ping’an was taken aback.

He thought he had mastered his breathing technique, but didn’t expect it to lack that part.

“…I can breathe as I wish, isn’t that like an instinct…”

“Bullshit, skipping the process and directly presenting the answer?

It must be a module that’s functioning without your knowledge…

Do you still remember Aidal’s Friendship Teapot?”

Aidal’s Friendship Teapot, a former truth-level item, has been absorbed and decomposed by the Courtyard and turned into a Rule-level Building Misfortune Diversion Lake.

Its core ability is to throw a creature into it, and then decompose it…

transform it into beneficial and harmful cursed water.

In a way, this is a large “stomach”, a part of the Courtyard’s “digestive system”.

This ability is actually very strong and useful, but because it has been peaceful on Earth recently, it has not been open for business.

But on reflection, this ability to decompose, divert, and digest foreign “lives” is not exactly a core component of my “not yet formed breathing technique”.

At this point, Lu Ping’an could understand why his not-yet-formed breathing technique was still not formed…

Maybe he was still lacking some core components.

“I should smash another Truth-level item…”

“Going to smash a Rule-level /Quasi-rule-level Floating on Water?

Isn’t that too extravagant?”
