Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 116
Option 10.5 15.8%, Option 73.7 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Fly from a high place to the island near the mouth of the river, prey on as many points as possible, get ready, and then return to enter]

……

Fly to estuaries to hunt for food.

Zheng Zhuo saw this alluring high ticket item.

"It makes sense. Prepare first, and it will always be worthwhile."

Zheng Zhuo heartily agreed to this ticket.

Although it was a pity to leave just after climbing up, he still let go of himself.

Golden-white flames fell from the sky.He stretched his body and slid towards, flying into the distance.

……

Estuary islet.

The air slowly becomes dry.Mars was carried in the originally humid wind.

Cows and deer grazing in the shallows sensed something unusual, raised their heads, and looked around.

next second.

Teng!
Flames ignited from the bull's muzzle, lighting up the darkened sky.

Here comes the fire.

This time, it's gold and white.

The cow didn't even scream.The flame burned through the nasal cavity in an instant, and burned into the bones.The bones turned into pitch-black bone fragments, and then turned into fly ash.

In the blink of an eye, there was no head on the raised neck of the cow.

A piece of golden-white flame lightly fell from the sky.It covered the broken neck of the cow.

The fire climbed up the cow's body and flowed away from it.

The fire just walked away from the cow in this way.And the whole body of the cow has not a piece of fur and flesh left.

The remaining bones turned black, hardened and brittle in the cold air.

When the wind blows, it is dispersed in the air.

"Bee!"

Other cattle and deer on Hekou Chau scattered and fled.

The sight seemed familiar, but the hunters who hunted them were not the same.

Golden-white flames soared into the sky.Like a shadow of death from hell, it overtook a deer in the blink of an eye.

"[ignite]."

The flame rose from the head of the flower deer, and shot several meters high.

The flower deer fell down.The flames licked its body, taking away all the tissue that could be burned away, and took off again.

Bulls and deer could no longer run across the flames.

This time, all prey were within hunting range.

……

【Points: 600】

The next evolution can be performed.However, Zheng Zhuo just glanced at it.

【Points: 700】

The killing continues.Now, every prey he can catch can provide 100 points.

【Points: 800】

So why stop here?

【Points: 900】

Zheng Zhuo began to be better at using his own speed.He rushed directly to a black bull, grabbed its huge body, and pulled it down to the bank.

【Points: 1000】

Then he swallowed it.

【Points: 1100】

"...It's almost time to eat."

Zheng Zhuo looked around.He had chased the fleeing prey far away.

It's a long way from the tower.

Zheng Zhuo looked at his panel.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Chaos Shadow Fire (Golden White)]

[Ability: identification, evolution]

[Evolved: Speed++, Dexterity+, Ignition, Venom, Territorial Awareness]

【Points: 1100】

[Optional evolution: ——]

[Optional evolution: ——]

……

Points are accumulated so easily that Zheng Zhuo can hardly recall the time when he squirmed for a long time before he could eat 1 point worth of withered grass.

As for the optional evolution...

Because the points meet the requirements for two evolutions, two [Optional Evolutions] appeared.

But probably because of [Chaos], the display interface is distorted.

The two [optional evolutions] gradually merged together.

"Are all the options mixed together?"

Zheng Zhuo vaguely saw various entries such as "long horn", "water movement", "plant food", "dexterity", "temperature rise" flashed by, but they quickly returned to chaos.

Zheng Zhuo recalled his hunting experience just now.He seems to have eaten many different breeds of cattle, deer, sheep, horses...

At least he thought they all had different numbers of horns.

It may be that there are too many merged evolution directions, and the time for [optional evolution] changes is longer than ever before.

Finally, it finally fixed the statement.

……

[Optional evolution: transformation smelting / contact adaptation / instant transfer]

……

"...It looks amazing."

Unexpectedly, when many entries were mixed together, an astonishing effect appeared.

Zheng Zhuo carefully examined them one by one.

……

[Transformation and Smelting]: Further enhance the purity of the flame.Temperature +, speed +, body shape +. [Ignition] has expanded its range. [Venom] will be able to poison the creatures that are ignited by themselves. [Territorial Awareness] Can detect more specific states.

【Contact Adaptation】: Adapt to the surrounding environment and change your physical state.Gradually nullify the damage types that have caused damage to oneself.

[Instant transfer]: It can transfer the body to other flames ignited by itself within a certain distance.

……

"All... are very powerful..."

Every entry is very attractive.

Zheng Zhuo looked at them repeatedly while flying back to the direction of the tower.

"No no, don't worry now."

he said to himself.

"It would be better to save it until the critical time, see which one is needed, and then make a choice."

……

Riding the wind, Zheng Zhuo returned to the tower again.This time, he looked at the door below the tower first.

It was a small wooden door.The door is closed.

Zheng Zhuo didn't touch it.Because, with his temperature, the wooden door would burn.

Zheng Zhuo didn't want to make a big fuss at a place so far away from his goal.

However, he vaguely remembered that when he left, he had a glimpse of the state of the wooden door.

"At that time, I seemed to see that the door was open."

Forget it, that's not the point.

Zheng Zhuo circled the tower again and flew up to the clouds.

Still have to enter from the top floor.Zheng Zhuo was not surprised by this.

Now he is ready.

Soon, Zheng Zhuo returned to where he left off.

The mullion remained closed.The pattern and the state of the window frame are exactly the same.

Zheng Zhuo stopped outside the window.

Just burn it in from here.

Just when Zheng Zhuo made up his mind——

"...Here we go again."

He suddenly heard a female voice coming from inside.

anyone?

The flame that Zheng Zhuo poked out touched the window lattice.

next second.

boom!
The window panes exploded outward.

"!?"

Huge punch.Like a cannonball coming out of a tower.

Zheng Zhuo's frivolous body was blown away by the huge impact.

Among the flying fragments, an shapeless monster made of viscous black liquid, twice the size of his body, pounced on him.

"Varied--"

The monster's body similar to Zheng Zhuo's body stuck to Zheng Zhuo's flame.

Chill-

White smoke rises.Zheng Zhuo's flame was extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"!!!"

Zheng Zhuo was shocked.

The body of the black liquid monster twisted.

Through the hole in its body, Zheng Zhuo looked into the tower.

"..."

It's a red-haired woman.

A woman with red hair stands in a tower.She was expressionless, pointing forward with one hand, and holding the strange book with a black cover in the other.

On the strange book, a few more heavy chains were added.Jin Guang was locked in the strange book.

"...Little...【Joker】..."

Zheng Zhuo finally uttered a word, and the monster made of black liquid rushed to the ground from the sky.

Boom!
Together, the two monsters fell straight into the river from a very high altitude.

sand!
The water column was stirred up several meters high.

"...Goo...uh..."

Zheng Zhuo fell into the water.The rushing river is also taking away the heat from his body, and white smoke is coming out of him——

But the viscous black liquid monster didn't seem to be affected, it was still stuck to Zheng Zhuo, desperately pressing Zheng Zhuo into the water.

"……Enter……"

Light green windows light up.

Zheng Zhuo can't just sit and wait for death.

He's going all in on it.

"evolution--!"

……
