Chapter 12 Super Soldier Serum

One morning later.

After his morning run, Zhou Yuan walked into a breakfast shop and ordered a bowl of salty tofu pudding and two roujiamo.

After sitting down, he took out his mobile phone and opened the chat software, wanting to see if there were any funny or erotic pictures in the group. He found that the company group was unexpectedly active - although he was dismissed by Qunxing Network, he had not yet quit several employee groups.

Zhou Yuan opened the group chat and read the messages, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

——A few dozen minutes ago, the body of the company's art director was found in a park. After the police contacted his family to no avail, they went to his house, but no one answered the door after knocking for a long time.

The police, realizing something was amiss, pried open the lock and after entering the house, they were shocked to find that the entire family of the art director had been brutally murdered!
There hasn't been a family massacre in Xinhu for many years, but now it happens to people around us. No wonder the group is going crazy.

The group members all lamented that the art director was so unlucky. He had just escaped from a fire not long ago, and he hadn't even had a few days to rest when he met with misfortune again. His entire family was killed. It was true that after surviving a great disaster, there will be further misfortunes. He was extremely unlucky.

Only Zhou Yuan, who knew part of the truth, knew that at this juncture, the murderer was most likely a Beyonder, and was targeting the player system.

That night, no one, including Nangong Yi, could find the player system. It was not difficult to guess that someone had already gotten there first.

The extraordinary people involved in the incident are the first suspects, and the fire survivors naturally become the second suspects.

It is obviously easier to deal with ordinary people than to cause trouble for extraordinary people.

The art director was the highest-ranking person among those who survived that night. He had been involved in the development of "Children of the Stars" since the project was launched and was an influential veteran in the company and the production team.

The murderer probably thought that he was in a high position of power, knew some key information, and might be able to take advantage of the chaos to get the player's system, so he went looking for him.

“Whether the murderer got any clues from the art director or not, he will definitely not give up until the whereabouts of the player system is confirmed.

All the survivors that night are the targets of the murderer. Although the company's top management has a higher priority, it does not mean that the lower-level employees will be safe. Who knows when he will find me. "

Zhou Yuan felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart. If that group of extraordinary people came to him, his fate would be the same as that of the art director!
I must... become stronger quickly!
"I'm afraid I can't get healthy anymore. The effects are too slow. It will take at least half a year. By that time, the grass on my grave might be two meters high. There is only one solution left..."

——Taking drugs!
The game mall is all-encompassing, with countless items that can strengthen the body, such as body-refining pills on the fantasy side, genetic medicines on the technology side, and strengthening magic on the magic side...

Originally Zhou Yuan wanted to save money to buy some powerful items, but now it seems that he can't save these star coins.

Finished breakfast in a hurry.

Zhou Yuan immediately returned home, opened the mall and started screening.

[Physical Refining Pill, Common, 2000 Star Coins, Only usable below level 10. After use, Strength, Agility, and Constitution attributes +1. ]

[Marrow Cleansing Pill, excellent, 4000 star coins, can only be used by level 10 and below. It has the effect of rebirth, and after use, strength, agility, constitution, intelligence, and perception attributes are increased by 1. ]

[Vajra Pill, Excellent, 5000 Star Coins, can only be used by Level 10 and below. After use, Strength and Agility attributes +2, Constitution attribute +3, enter the first level of "Golden Body Technique". ]

[KW74 Strengthening Potion, Common, 2000 Star Coins, only available for Level 10 and below. The drug must be directly injected into the heart and the person must endure the 5-50 minute transformation process. The longer the person endures, the more significant the strengthening effect.]

[Super Soldier Serum (First Edition), rare, 8000 star coins, only available for use below level 10. After injection, strength, agility, physique, intelligence, and perception are increased to 12 points. It has the side effect of infinitely amplifying one's true inner thoughts, making the good become better and the evil become more evil.]

[Super Soldier Serum (Improved Edition), rare, 6000 star coins, only available for use below level 10. After injection, strength, agility, physique, intelligence, and perception are increased to 10 points, eliminating the side effect of infinitely magnifying one's true thoughts.]

[T virus...]

[Inferior Angel Bloodline...]

[Inferior demon bloodline...]

[Level I Gene Medicine: Plasma...]

Zhou Yuan was dazzled by the dazzling array of items. After careful consideration, he had a clear answer in his mind.

——Super Soldier Serum (Improved Version)!

This prop is an important main line of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Many superhero stories are related to it. The most representative of them is naturally Captain America. After being injected with serum and irradiated with life rays, he turned from a skinny boy into a muscular man. No man would not be moved by that figure.

The improved version of the serum seems to have appeared in later film and television dramas. The strengthening effect is not as amazing as the initial version, but it eliminates side effects and will not amplify inner desires.

This is the best choice for Zhou Yuan. All attributes except the charm attribute are increased to 10 points, and the cost-effectiveness is maximized.

However, the current star coin balance is only 5400, and there is still a shortfall of 600 to purchase the Super Soldier Serum.

If you want to sell items...

Zhou Yuan first looked at the [Health Apple]. One health apple could be sold for 100 star coins. There were three in his backpack, which could be sold for 300 star coins. All the apples drawn in the free daily draws of the Lucky Wheel in the past two days were health apples, so the three apples drawn in the previous ten draws were still untouched.

In this case, there is still a shortfall of 300.

He looked at the [Tracking Monitor] again. He spent 300 star coins to buy this item, but he could only sell it for 100 star coins. It would be a big loss to sell it, so he decided to keep it for use.

Then there is [Emergency Syrup], which is an item that you get from opening a box. Throwing it out while escaping can hold the enemy for a while and buy time to escape. It is a life-saving item and it would be a pity to sell it. [Micro Life Potion], [Micro Spiritual Potion], [Winged Strawberry], [Super Deluxe Delicious Crab Burger] are even more important and cannot be sold. They are strategically important supplies.

[Human Skin Music Score] is related to the collection task, and selling it will result in mission failure.

“There’s nothing to sell…”

Zhou Yuan was worried, because only items related to the supernatural could be sold, such as [Li Xuetian's Diary] could not be sold. Apart from many props, there was nothing in the backpack that met the requirements.

"It's just a task."

He opened the task bar, but he didn't expect that the first task would be heavyweight.

[Task name: "Ghost Call"]

[Task objective: Answer the call received by the Opple smartphone and ensure that the call duration reaches 3 minutes.]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*500]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*3000]

[Task Reward 3: Rare Quality Item Pack*1]

【Is it accepted? 】

【whether】

"hiss……"

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath. The reward was so generous, which meant that the mission was very difficult and there was a considerable risk of death.

He couldn't help but think of the last time when Opple's smartphone received a call, the identification eye indicated that the person on the other end was wearing red...

"I'm afraid if I accept this mission, I'll die."

Zhou Yuan muttered to himself, then looked down and was surprised to find that the second task was also related to the Opple smartphone.

[Task name: "Late Night Radio"]

[Task objective: After midnight, use an OPPO smartphone to listen to "1097 Warmth Radio" for 1 hour. ]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*400]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*2000]

[Task Reward 3: Excellent Quality Skill Scroll *1]

【Is it accepted? 】

【whether】

"Another mission. This phone has a lot of secrets..."

Zhou Yuan continued to flip through the pages, and found out that the third task was actually related to Opple smartphones, followed by the fourth and fifth.

The more he looked, the silenter he became.

According to the task description, this broken phone can even take pictures of ghosts. There are also [mysterious websites hidden in the deepest part of the Internet], [cursed text messages that will cause trouble if not forwarded], [dark forbidden songs that killed more than a hundred people]...

It's simply a supernatural event trigger.

"At present, the only means of attacking supernatural things I have is Steel Rose's magic-breaking bullets, and they are only effective against visible spirits and ghosts. If they hide and use curses or mental attacks, I will be the one to die.

Let’s find some daily tasks.”

Daily tasks don’t give much in the way of rewards, but they are easy to complete. Like the side quests in many RPG games, the content is mostly “toilet-unclogging” tasks such as planting flowers, finding people, and delivering things.

Zhou Yuan searched for a while and finally found a simple daily task that was very close.

[Task name: "Looking for a Cat"]

[Mission objective: Find the lost cat in Aunt Wang's house downstairs 0/1]

[Task Reward 1: Experience Points*10]

[Task Reward 2: Star Coins*100]
