Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Third Advancement Requirements

Zhu Wenwu has become an Extraordinary.

Although Zhu Xin Xue was not qualified and had no reason to receive enhancement, her contributions were insufficient, and her own strength inadequate, many people probably deserved it more than she did.

But she is Zhu Wenwu’s sister, and that was qualification enough.

Su Changxing exchanged in the Blood Moon Shop for a firearm.

A black tubular object appeared in his hand, exquisitely crafted, it fired by loading steel balls and gunpowder into it, which was cumbersome, making it essentially a one-time weapon in battle.

Su Changxing guessed that the range of this thing should be very close, and he fired at a corpse lying not far away.

“Boom~”

More than a dozen small steel balls scattered from the muzzle, embedding into the corpse, splattering black blood.

The flesh on the corpse’s surface was blown to bits.

The noise startled many people around, and they turned to look, seeing the firearm in Su Changxing’s hand, revealing surprise.

A young man standing next to Huang Tao said: “Isn’t that a firearm? The shop actually has such a thing.”

Huang Tao nodded, “Yes, but considering the low cost-performance ratio of this thing last night, I didn’t exchange for it.”

Another person said regretfully, “It’s a pity it’s just this kind of thing. If we could have a lot of firearms, how would we be afraid of those zombies outside?”

At this moment, Zhu Wenwu brought Zhu Xin Xue over and said, “I’m afraid this thing might not necessarily kill a zombie.”

Su Changxing put down the firearm in his hand and evaluated:

“If the distance is close, it shouldn’t be a problem. The effect on humans is better than on zombies. Humans have pain senses, which can cause effective damage from a considerable distance.”

Zhu Xin Xue, full of soot and with her eyes sparkling at the sight of the firearm, said, “I’ve seen something similar in history books. Does this mean there might be firearms in the shop?”

Su Changxing shook his head and said:

“Well, it’s unlikely, at least in this world. Come over here, I’ll enhance you, this is the opportunity your brother begged for you.”

Zhu Xin Xue nodded excitedly, like a pecking chicken, and stood in front of the Blood Moon Shop, curiously observing it and said, “Do I need to do anything? Just standing here is okay?”

“Hmm, just standing there is fine.”

Su Changxing exchanged three enhancements from the shop for Zhu Xin Xue, once for strength, once for speed, and once for physique.

A red light shot from the shop into Zhu Xin Xue’s body, transforming her body structure.

Zhu Xin Xue was originally a Superpower User, theoretically having the chance to become an Extraordinary, but that was only in theory, the real situation is uncertain for anyone.

As Zhu Xin Xue felt the changes in her body, she looked surprised and said, “This enhancement is really amazing, it seems my strength has increased a lot.”

Su Changxing thought for a moment and reminded, “Even if enhanced, you might only be stronger than the average adult, so don’t do anything dangerous.”

He was still a bit worried that this girl, with newfound power, might indulge in something outrageous.

“Thank you, Master.”

Zhu Xin Xue widened her eyes, her face full of smiles and said, “Haha, I won’t, but now I can always join the squads that go out to fight.”

Zhu Wenwu interjected, “That’s fine, but the premise is I take you with me so you don’t cause trouble for others.”

Zhu Xin Xue pouted and said, “Zhu Wenwu, one day I’ll surpass you.”

In the following time, some people began to clear out the corpses in the settlement, transporting them out, staying in the settlement might breed bacteria and possibly cause diseases.

Su Changxing, meanwhile, went to the Screamer’s corpse, ready to extract an Extraordinary Crystal, assuming the Screamer could be considered an Extraordinary Creature.

The Screamer’s corpse had already been partly gnawed by zombies, revealing its skeleton.

“I hope those zombies haven’t already eaten the Extraordinary Crystal.”

Su Changxing found that after the Screamer’s death, its scale armor seemed less hard, instead becoming soft, like wrapped in a layer of fur.

“Does this scale armor deteriorate after death? Or has it softened because it’s lost something?”

He remembered the head once said that an Extraordinary had some core strength, only in Tier Nine is it unusable, which distinguishes Extraordinary from Ordinary People, not only being physically stronger.

Su Changxing sliced through the Screamer’s chest scales, searching for the Extraordinary Crystal inside.

Inside the Screamer’s body weren’t separate organs, but a solid mass of gel-like flesh, which seemed to have excellent shock resistance, with strange organs wrapped within the gel.

After probing for a while, Su Changxing opened up most of the Screamer’s corpse and in its semi-transparent purple heart, he saw a diamond-shaped purple crystal.

Surprisingly, although the Screamer was dead, its heart was still alive, constantly beating, as if poised to come back to life at any moment.

At this time, the head suddenly said, “It seems the Screamer has a remodeling trait, if left unattended for a long time, it might really come back to life.”

Su Changxing hesitated and said, “This thing can be resurrected?”

The head said arrogantly, “Kid, if you want to become a True Knower, you need a wealth of knowledge to supplement, you’re too shallow now. The great True Knower tells you, this is called rebirth, not resurrection.”

Su Changxing pondered briefly and said, “You mean, the original individual is dead, what rebirths is another Screamer, equivalent to its offspring?”

The head mused, “More or less. However, such things are very rare, usually twisted existences. But the Screamer is more like a normal life form.”

Su Changxing cut open the heart and retrieved the crystal from the cold purple blood.

The moment he touched the crystal, his phone vibrated.

Hmm?

A task, or something else?

Su Changxing took out his phone to check but discovered it was promotion information from the discount shop.

[Found materials for promotion, Screamer’s Crystal Core, it seems to contain something special]

[Promotion Conditions

Screamer’s Crystal Core 1/20

Extraordinary Crystal 8/50

Points 33221/20000

Mysteriousness 855/800]

“The Screamer’s Extraordinary Crystal can actually serve as promotion material, could this be something bred by the Giant Hand Organization?”

Su Changxing mused inwardly.

Promotions become more difficult each time, requiring progressively rarer materials, which also highlights the Screamer’s uniqueness.

Even though this uniqueness was apparent, clearly not something a regular zombie could evolve into.

Su Changxing pondered for a moment, before asking inwardly, “Head, an ordinary Extraordinary can only promote twice at most in Tier Nine, right?”

The third promotion needs 800 points of Mysteriousness, while the average position’s Mysteriousness cap is 500 points.
