Chapter 7: An Atlas of End-Time Creatures
Enhanceable item detected: Rough wooden gate
Introduction: This gate is unusually crude, it cannot even block the wind and rain, and you should never rely on it to survive.
Reinforceable Direction 1, Basic Reinforcement: Transform the tree branch into a wooden gate to improve wind and moisture resistance, while increasing sturdiness.
Reinforcement direction 2, Material upgrade: Upgrade to stone gate, significantly improve windproof performance, heat preservation, fireproof performance and sturdiness.
Reinforceable Direction 3, Spiritual Energy Evolution: Upgrade to a rough spiritual energy wooden gate, which greatly improves windproof ability, isolates temperature transfer, is non-combustible, significantly improves sturdiness, and defends against a certain degree of radiation.
After seeing the third strengthening direction, Chris' eyes flashed with light. This Spiritual Energy, it really was something good!
He immediately opened the trading interface and searched for psychic energy items, but the results disappointed him: there were no records of psychic energy on the trading market. It could be because the person who obtained the Spiritual Energy felt that its value was too high and was unwilling to trade it, or because no one had discovered Spiritual Energy yet. But in either case, the rarity and value of psychic energy was unusually high. If you ever see it on a trade list, you must trade it without hesitation!
After taking the Psychic Energy Cube back into the warehouse, Chris moved his gaze to the second item - the End Times Creature Illustrated Book. The thick book attracted his curiosity, and he couldn't wait to flip it open. However, just as he was about to read the contents of the book, it instantly transformed into a light green light and drilled into his body.
At the same time, the system interface popped up automatically. Chris fixed his eyes and saw that there was a new button on the system interface: 'Illustration'. He raised his eyebrows, not expecting that there would be this way of opening, so he manipulated his consciousness and clicked on the Illustration button.
Instantly, a picture popped up, lined up side by side in front of him in three rows and four columns. Each picture represented a different creature. Chris curiously clicked on one.
Name: Stoic Chick
Introduction: A chick with strong willpower, who received good fetal education before it was even born, and is exceptionally good at holding back.
Inborn Skill: Concealment - Every time it is attacked, it will return a certain percentage of its blood and has a chance to cause the next blow to be a bludgeon!
Weaknesses: The Concealment Chick after activating the Concealment skill is exceptionally terrifying, so kill it with a single hit while it's still concealing itself.
Next to the introduction, a 3D projection-like image of the Concealment Chick appeared.
After flipping through a few pages, Chris saw a familiar image - the Mutant Silver Ring Snake. He gently clicked on it and the introduction appeared in front of him.
Name: Highly Venomous Silver Snake
Introduction: don't underestimate this venomous snake, a single strike from it can poison you to death.
Innate Skill: Venom Infusion - Each attack will infuse the target's body with a deadly neurotoxin!
Weakness: Its soft mouth is the weakest point in its entire body, you might be able to aim for something here.
Seeing the introduction of the Venomous Silver Snake, Chris was a bit surprised, not realizing that he had hit the snake's weak point by mistake. Next to the introduction, there was also a 3D projection of the Venomous Silver Snake, exactly the same as the one he had just encountered. Chris suspected that the system had been lazy and directly built the mold with the snake he had just encountered.
Nonetheless, this illustration system was exceptionally helpful. When he encountered prey again in the future, he could at least inquire about the opponent's skills and weaknesses, focus on defending against the opponent's skills, aim for the opponent's weaknesses, and know his enemy.
After flipping through two more pages, Chris suddenly found a new button at the bottom of the icon page. The button was small and a bit light in color, not too easy to spot.
"Scanning: can be used 1/1 times (replenished once a day)"
What kind of skill was this? Try it out! Chris tapped on it with his consciousness.
Instantly, the system interface changed, and a map within 1000 meters around Chris's shelter as the center of the circle was revealed. At the same time, a transparent ripple swirled from the map, spreading out with the refuge as the center of the circle. As the ripple swirled, a red dot appeared on the boundary of the map.
"Number of enemies detected within a thousand meters: 1"
Chris' eyes lit up, so the scanning function was able to detect enemies in the surrounding area! This was a godly skill! With this skill, not only could it be used around the refuge to clear the surrounding threats, it could even be used when going out to explore. After scanning out all the enemies in front of you, wasn't it equivalent to turning on Perspective Exploration?
