Chapter 36 - Combined skill

The house rented next to the small building hasn't been renovated yet. So, Wu Ye and Qin Wuhua were still living in the previous three-bedroom and one living room house. And since there were enough rooms now, Qin Wuhua decided to sleep in the next room.

After all, considering Qin Wuhua had realized his newfound feelings and desire for Wu Ye, it wasn't a good idea to continue sleeping with him.

Right now, Wu Ye was sitting cross-legged on the bed as he clicked on the receive button placed under"The Supreme Art of Water Control". Within a moment, mysterious and obscure texts appeared directly in his mind. Then, he closed his eyes, reciting the mysterious text over and over again.

While reciting, his body unknowingly moved to assume the five-heart facing the sunrise pose. Subsequently, the mutated water ability in his body quietly revolved under the conscious' influence.

A moment later, the crystal nuclei placed on the bedside in the hiking gradually gleamed. And, whether it was transparent crystal nuclei or red crystal nuclei, all turned into powder one by one as the pure and clean energy it contained poured into Wu Ye's body.

If Wu Ye was aware at this moment, he would surely find out that the progress bar of the gene chain on the control panel was slowly moving forward.

After an unknown amount of time, a sudden change occurred in Wu Ye's body. A weak and tiny qi current that originally laid dormant in Wu Ye's body, had suddenly started to operate on its own. In the opposite direction to his gene ability's path. The two forces operated in the opposite direction of each other and were constantly clashing with each other in his body; as if it was an arena for them to decide their victory or defeat.

Wu ye felt severe pain in his meridians, so he subconsciously used the healing power his ability gave. As the gentle energy nourished his whole body, the pain he felt gradually weakened.

Wu Ye didn't understand the reason behind the change in "The Basic Breathing Method" when he's cultivating"The Supreme Art of Water Control". But, he couldn't stop the revolution nor control the direction of the flow. As such, he could only cultivate both at the same time in desperation. Nevertheless, his meridians soon felt like it was once again unable to withstand the severe pain, affecting his blood flow. His blood seemed to be boiling up and began to deviate from its natural trajectory...

If there was an expert who practices ancient martial arts here, he would definitely wake Wu Ye up and scold him for being a fool.

How could the gene ability work simultaneously with the internal strength?! Wasn't that just the same as asking a woman's period to go against its natural path? That's practically asking the god of longevity to hasten your life!

In fact, there's no need for an expert to be there. Wu Ye himself knew that his cultivation was going out of control. However, he couldn't get out of the cultivation state at all. At this point, he couldn't care about anything else as he tried desperately to circulate his healing energy through his body to suppress his meridian injuries. This was as if he was drinking poison to try to quench his thirst.

But, this was the only thing he could do at the moment. So, whenever his genetic water ability and internal qi clashed, he would circulate his healing power to cure it. In this manner, the three energies continued to fight and entangle until finally a sign of merging.

From the start, the mercenary system had only ever provided the exercises and arts. It didn't include any after-sales services. So, up until now, the system had only been silently paying attention to the host's body data that it received from the chip. However, when it saw the host's gene ability and inner qi clashing, the damn virus in the chip came out and messed around, causing its data to be disordered. When it finally finished sorting its data out and was searching for a way to help its stupid host, it discovered a whole new force in Wu Ye's body.

[The second level gene chain is unlocked by itself! ] The system was very surprised. Of course, this wasn't a special case, yet what surprised it was the fact this happened to its stupid host. After all, in the system's own opinion, it's already incredible that his stupid host had directly unlocked the first-level gene chain during his first practice.

To put things into perspective frankly, the system's gene strengthening was based on both technology and a secret method. As in, it directly poured the purified energy into the host's body to forcibly improve the host's strength level. This forced promotion would minimize the damage incurred as long as the host could withstand the pain and backlash caused by unlocking the gene chain. Then, the host could advance.

Of course, the higher the level of unlocked gene chain are, the greater the chance of failure. And while failure would cause some damage to the body, once it was successful, it wouldn't leave any sequelae.

If genetic enhancement was a form of external strengthening, then cultivation would be a form of internal strengthening. They are the two paths to the same destination as they could both increase the host's strength level.

And, in the higher universe, many hosts used both internal and external powers.

However, the system was angry at its stupid host because he didn't want to stay in this world. So, it accidentally 'forgot' to tell its stupid host about the fact that cultivating through absorbing crystal nucleus energy was also able to unlock the gene chain.

As for whether it was done intentionally or not… Well, considering its stupid host's personality, the system could guarantee that his strength enhancement wasn't intentionally done, uh, it's most likely not an intentional act.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ordinary corpse hunters don't say that they don't have much balance in their hands. Even if they have, they don't often deposit too much on the card. Generally, it is enough. Therefore, except for vendors who often buy and sell, few people will withdraw cash.

Wu Ye was worried that he would continue to replenish the scarce goods in the store, which would attract people's attention. After all, he could not explain the origin of the goods brought from another world. He accidentally revealed the secret, which is not a joke. Therefore, he has discussed with Qin Wuhua and will go to the black market tomorrow to replenish a batch of goods and sell them with the items in the store. Not asking for the price difference, but only trying to enrich the variety of things in the store, so that the goods he has brought are not so eye-catching, and in the eyes of some people, the things in his store also have a barely plausible source.

As a result, this has not yet gone to the black market, and the crystal nucleus has only been created so much, it is no wonder that the two young masters are in pain.

Fortunately, the Second Young Master was always very kind, and came back with a cold bath in pain. He lay his head on the bed and closed his eyes, and plunged his head into Zhou Gong's arms.

After the last siege of zombies, the safety zone of Lancheng shrank by more than 10 kilometers, and the original black market stronghold has now become the nest of zombies. After the Lancheng executives harvested the crystal core and lifted the ban in the whole city, some of the supernaturalists who were signaled by the Lancheng executives organized and found a small factory in the safe zone as a new trading location. There was word of mouth among the abilities, and the new black market address soon spread, and the abilities rushed.

The other three corpse hunter teams who got the duty-free shops, unlike Wu Ye, can easily get so many rare and good goods as if they can cheat. A small part of the things they sell in their shop was collected by them on a previous mission, and the other large part was bought on the black market. The things in the shop are uneven, expensive and cheap.

In the morning, after breakfast, brother Yang Qi came over early and went out hunting with Wu Ye and others.

Since knowing that zombies will also swallow crystal nuclei and evolve, Wu Ye has dispelled the idea of ​​going to the zombie wall to collect points. Honestly, kill the zombies on the edge of the safe zone. The six of them except Ji Yun are all supernatural beings, but unless they are surrounded by zombies, they use heat weapons directly at other times.

"Ji Yun, is your robot good enough?" Wu Ye asked while shooting.

Some time ago, the zombie detectors made by Ji Yun and Professor Li have almost succeeded, and Professor Li is conducting final data debugging. Ji Yunteng took his hand and concentrated on studying the "Craniotomy" robot. After more than half a month of tinkering, the robot has taken shape, and today is the first time he took it out to test the waters.

The "Craniotomy" robot is not a humanoid. Its structure is a bit like a car, but its shape is much weird than that of a car. The "Craniotomy" is about half a meter high and one meter long. There is only a light slightly smaller than a basketball on the front of the car, but in fact it is a crystal core sensor and data collector. There is one on each side of the car. Flexible telescopic robotic arm, the'palm' of one arm is a mechanical telescopic pliers specially used to pinch the neck of the zombie; the other'palm' is an extremely sharp chainsaw, which can easily saw the skull of the zombie; There is a mechanical arm, the palm of the hand is the only place where you can see the machine's "human". It is specially used to dig the crystal core. The crystal core arm is rotated 360 degrees and can be accurately thrown into the car bucket with a big mouth.

Li Minsheng also made great efforts to develop the "Craniotomy". He cooperated with Professor Li to transform a brain chip into its control center.

The car also uses Professor Li's most beloved small solar generator as the power center. According to their design concept, the "Craniotomy" can automatically identify dead zombies by sensing the crystal nucleus energy, and complete a series of harvesting crystal nuclei independently. Action, and then replace manpower to reduce risk and improve efficiency.

Today is the first appearance of the Craniotomy. Don't look at it is made up of old things all over the body. The sensor, control center, power center, and two imitation tank tracks carefully welded with special metals are inside. Wait, each of them is worth the first time. With this broken thing, Wu Ye has invested a full 1W of crystals in it.

He was originally full of curiosity to watch the little robot show off his power, but after the idiot got to the ground and started, he ran stupidly among the zombies. The zombie nucleus did not take out one, but the zombie's legs were sawn off several, almost. The furious zombies were smashed.

However, don't you even say that the "Craniotomy" is arrogant with its teeth and claws. When a zombie hears the sound, when running after it, it still knows to hide, knows to cut off the power and silently pretend to die.

Ji Yun watched his little robot run farther and farther, and hurriedly took out the control center of the brain connected to the craniotomy, and manually operated it: "Okay, of course. This is the first actual operation. There is an abnormal situation. It's normal, just wait for the data to be collected and debug it slowly."

Wu Ye thought of the zombie detector that Ji Yun had built for more than half a year. He didn't say anything, but Bao Zi's face slowly bulged.

Qin Wuhua glanced at him quietly, and suddenly couldn't help but cocked the corners of his mouth. This little guy doesn't hide his mind at all when he is with someone he knows well, and all his joys and dislikes are clearly on his face, which saves everyone the effort of wild speculation. Look at how long it has been. The Yang Qi brothers and sisters who had rushed to him are now convincingly calling his boss. Even the Qian Xin he brought out has said that the boss is interesting more than once-since he started selling cigarettes, Qian Xin I have never stopped having a good day. Even if there are other people who can get supplies in Wu Ye's way, how many people can be as generous and generous as him? No wonder everyone likes to persuade him to face him.

After Ji Yun switched to manual control mode, the "Craniotomy" finally lived up to expectations and dug the first crystal core and threw it into the belly of the car. After that, although the situation continued to be small, the most basic functions did not go wrong. The quasi-efficiency of crystal nucleus is much faster than manpower.

Qin Wuhua looked at Wu Ye again, there was a smile on his face, and then he heard him say: "Ji Yun did a good job, go back and give you a bonus!"

Ji Yun also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Okay, thank you boss! But I don't want the bonus. Give me two candies. I can take them back to coax An'an. The little guy helped us fight a lot." Ji Yun has always been not greedy. Now following Wu Ye, he no longer has to worry about three meals a day, he doesn't have to fight with zombies, he doesn't have to be shy to ask others to form a team, and he has abundant R&D funds. It is simply the life he dreams of. , Bonus or something, he didn't mind at all.

"The sugar is gone, but you can give Anan a few more chocolates." Wu Ye smiled.

An An is very sensible and well-behaved. When Li Minsheng and Professor Li were working, he was watching him. He was not noisy or noisy. He ran errands and handed tools or something from time to time. Everyone liked him very much.

"Then I will thank the boss for An An first." Ji Yun said happily.

Unknowingly, an hour later, the truck was full of zombies, and everyone was about to change places. Suddenly, there were more zombies not far in front.

Wu Ye caught a black shadow in the group of zombies flashing away, and hurriedly said, "Be careful, there are third-level zombies here!"

Qin Wuhua also found its traces at this time. After his ability was upgraded to Tier 3, he could directly cause damage to Tier 3 zombies. With a thought, a purple thunder with the thickness of his wrist blasted out. The third-level zombies were extremely fast, and they dodged to avoid the thunder and lightning, seeing that this blow was about to miss.

Wu Ye didn't even think about it, directly driving the power, a water curtain of more than ten square meters appeared out of thin air on the heads of third-level zombies. The lightning followed the conduction of the water curtain. In the blink of an eye, the water curtain became a terrible power grid, and the power grid was covered. Down, the lowest level zombies turned into coke directly after frantically twitching, and the other zombies below level 3 seemed to have been subjected to a fixation technique, stunned in place, Yang Qi did not hesitate to stab the knot. Shed them.

The third-level zombies were the closest to the power grid center, and they were also dizzy.

"Don't move, I'll come!" Wu Ye yelled, and quickly changed into a sniper rifle. The golden and bronze bullets accurately penetrated the eyeballs of the third-level zombie and killed it to the ground.

System: [Compulsory mission: within today, complete fifty combined attacks with your comrades. Accepted by default. Wu Ye didn't expect that his waste material ability could have this usefulness. When combined with Wuhua's ability, it turned out to be a group attack skill. The second master gave 32 likes for his quick wit!

What's even better is that the stingy system has even issued a compulsory task, and it is a free lucky draw chance!

The Second Young Master looked at the control panel again. Just now, he and Qin Wuhua jointly killed the zombies, and the points were actually 100% calculated on his head!

You must know that even if Qin Wuhua is bound to become his comrade-in-arms, he can only get half of the points for the zombies killed by Qin Wuhua. After using the combo skills, he can actually get the full amount. This is really a huge surprise. !

Now, Wu Ye finally did not dislike his ability.

Except for Qin Wuhua, everyone was very surprised, and Ji Yun's eyes widened: "Boss, when did you awaken the power?"

Wu Ye smiled and said, "For a while, I always thought my powers were too useless, and I was too embarrassed to tell you." If it's half-truth, who wants to think about it.

Yang Qi smiled and said: "The attack power of pure water system is indeed not strong, but when combined with Qin brother's thunder system, the lethality is amazing! The boss deserves to be the boss, it's really hidden."

Wu Ye smiled and didn't explain anything, but Qin Wuhua had a hint of sweetness in his heart. The little guy really has a deep bond with him because of the combination of abilities.

Turning his head, Wu Ye put down his sniper rifle, his paws were excitedly on Qin Wuhua's shoulders, blinking beautiful peach eyes, and the brothers said kindly, "We will practice more in a while and brush up on our proficiency."

A few minutes away, Qin Wuhua fixedly looked at his long, dense and curled eyelashes, and only saw the eyelashes one by one, like two fluffy feathers, one by one on his heart. , Scratching his heart is so crunchy and itchy, I really want to...

"Hey, what do you look silly?" It was the first time Wu Ye noticed that Qin Wuhua was distracted. Qin Wuhua had a hot face. Fortunately, he had a dark complexion, otherwise he would be embarrassed today. He hurriedly removed his eyes and coughed to cover up his embarrassment, "I thought there was another Level 3 zombie over there. It was my fault. There are too many corpses here. Change to another place to practice."

"Okay!" Wu Ye smiled happily.

Looking at Wu Ye's clean and brilliant smile so close, Qin Wuhua's heart missed several beats, and the wheat-colored skin could barely cover the blush on his face.

After Ji Yun used the "Craniotomy" to harvest the crystal cores, he drove for more than ten minutes, changing to another place to continue hunting.

Wu Ye and Qin Wuhua looked at a place where zombies were crowded, looked at each other, nodded at each other, and threw their abilities respectively. However, their good luck seemed to run out just now, and their pace of driving abilities was always not uniform. After more than ten consecutive trials, only five or six times successfully combined the grid.

"No way, no way, wait until I take a breath." Wu Ye finally tasted what it was like to be squeezed out of his abilities, not to mention how uncomfortable the whole body was soft and weak.

At the beginning Wu Ye was too eager for quick success and instant benefits. The water curtain that was created was less than 34 square meters, and it disappeared after less than a second. Qin Wuhua's lightning had no chance to fall on it to form a power grid. Or maybe, Qin Wuhua's thunder and lightning disappeared in a flash, but Wu Ye's water curtain had not been released yet. After many times, Wu Ye learned well, and only formed a water curtain of ten square meters. However, the previous power was used too much, and the successor was weak, and the water curtain was still maintained for too short time. Fortunately, Qin Wuhua found a little sense, Wu Ye also slowly figured out some doorways, and gradually began to succeed.

Qin Wuhua's abilities are also very exhausted. He said to Qian Xin and Yang Qi brothers and sisters: "You fight first, the boss and I will rest for a while, wait and continue."

"Yes!" All three of them heard Qian Xin's full-fledged voice.

Wu Ye grabbed a handful of crystal nuclei from today's trophies and put it aside, and cross-legged the "Extreme Water Control Technique". The "Basic Spit Na Method" immediately ran on its own, and twenty or thirty first and second crystal nuclei turned into powder for a moment.

Yang Qi and Yang Lina were changing their magazines. They happened to see this scene. The siblings looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Qin Wuhua said lightly: "The boss's ability is just a little special, nothing strange." The warning under his eyes should not be ignored.

Brother and sister Yang Qi shuddered and said with a smile: "There is really nothing weird about, doesn't everyone absorb crystal nuclei like this?" That's strange! If they can forcibly absorb so many crystal nuclei energy in such a short period of time, it would be strange if they don't burst their meridians. Obediently, Wu Ye used to be able to use his exquisite marksmanship to be enough for the town, I'm afraid his abilities will be extraordinary in the future.

Worthy of being the boss.

Brother and sister Yang Qi looked at Wu Ye's delicate and beautiful baby face with closed eyes and even a well-behaved baby face, with unspeakable complexity in her heart.

In just half an hour, Wu Ye absorbed more than a hundred crystal nuclei, and the power returned to the full level. Qin Wuhua only recovered to half. Invisibly, the level gap between the two was much closer.

This is the wonder of exercises.

This time, the cooperation between the two is obviously much better than before. The success rate of the power grid has risen sharply. After the two repeatedly squeezed out the abilities, Wu Ye finally successfully completed the mandatory task. When the zombies are crowded, dozens of them can be electrocuted by one move, which is absolutely amazing at present.

It was getting late, Wu Ye ordered everyone to stop work and go to the black market to scan the goods together.
