Chapter 179 Kamijou, you must not understand...

"Obviously the astronomical figures on the account can't touch my heart, why do I feel so happy when I look at these things? Could it be that my values ​​have gradually adjusted to the "main god" currency as the standard? "

The spiral blades of the wind turbines reflect the metallic color in the setting sun, and there are not many pedestrians on the hot shopping street at this time.

Sitting in his usual seat in the store, browsing the interface of the big light ball, Mu Xiu muttered in a low voice.

More than 2 bonus points are already approaching [-] points, and exactly one A-level branch plot...

He is hesitating about how to make a choice, but it's not that he needs to make a choice right away, it's just that he suddenly feels that his original thoughts may need to continue to be adjusted for changes——

His original idea was that if he couldn't advance to Level 5 superpower level by himself through his own actions, he would use an A-level strengthening opportunity to directly proceed to the final step of "superpower development".

And if it is successful, the saved A-level strengthening opportunity will be split up, and the mutant blood will be strengthened directly.With the goal of "Magneto Mutated Bloodline", step by step strengthen to the final level of double A level...

According to Magneto's performance in the movie, he is also the top group of fourth-level mutants, although he has not been able to reach the fifth level.

Therefore, in the exchange list of the "Lord God" light sphere, the options for strengthening his mutated bloodline start with double B levels and end with double A levels. The entire strengthening upgrade route has a total of three levels.

However, that is only based on the theoretical basis of the above-mentioned information exchanged by Mu Xiu——

"The fourth level of liberating the restricted area of ​​life is the level that can truly change your destiny, and it is also the standard for judging whether a person is a strong person. According to incomplete statistics, 90.00% of reincarnated people above five have not been able to enter this stage, but have entered such a stage. Almost half of the reincarnations at a stage are promoted to a level through the captain's authority certification..."

It is precisely because of such a statement that he feels that he is not a person with extraordinary talent and potential, and there is no hope of seeing the dawn of the fourth stage in a short time, so Mu Xiu intends to directly strengthen the bloodline and strengthen it all the way to the ultimate level. target template.

But now...he can no longer tell what kind of strange state he is in. Although the third-order peak has not yet been completed, it seems to have touched the threshold of the fourth-stage domain.

Liberation of restricted areas of life, the fourth stage.

——This is a level of horror that can consciously adjust and optimize its own genes, wake up sleeping genes, and even reshape the entire genome...that is, it can actively adjust and modify fragments of its own life genetic information, and control its own evolutionary direction An important part of!
"Gene" is the genetic factor of life, and is the basic hereditary unit that controls biological traits.It supports the basic structure and performance of life, and stores all the information of life's race, blood type, gestation, growth, apoptosis and other processes.

However, after throwing away such a scientific explanation, there is another word that can express its importance and status more concisely.

"Bloodline".

The fourth-order powerhouses can consciously correct their own gene fragments, adjust and control the evolutionary direction of bloodlines.It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there are low-level vampire bloodlines at the baron level as a starting point, they can improve and evolve to the level of "ancestors" on their own.

The same is true for other bloodline enhancements. As long as there are traces to follow in the evolution process, they can find the ultimate code of life in a straight line from simple to complex, from low-level to high-level, and directly evolve to the ultimate of a certain creature without hindrance. Form, and save the process and cost of strengthening the "Lord God"...

Although this process will be relatively long, it is not as good as the "Lord God" light ball directly endowing the basic attributes and power of that form. As long as the liberation level is high enough, you can adapt a few times at will and make some small adjustments. complete in one step.

Mu Xiu is now hesitating. If he can reach the fourth stage of liberation in the near future, then it seems that there is no need to fully strengthen the "mutant blood" directly, and only need to choose "X gene implantation" ...

"Maybe it can be done—let me see."

Mu Xiu glanced outside the door, and found that the boy with the hedgehog was paying the delivery man, and then focused again on the operation interface of the "Lord God" light ball that only he could see. Of course, on the surface, He was just using his computer to casually browse Academy City's intranet.

X gene implantation is equivalent to a weakened version of mutant lineage enhancement, that is, it does not directly strengthen the template, but only gives you the seeds of the corresponding ability gene. As for whether it can be excavated to what extent, it depends entirely on the user himself.

The advantage is that it is very cheap, and almost most of them can be exchanged without even the need for side plots.

The disadvantage is that it is greatly weakened and there is no power brought by bloodline enhancement. It seems that it just adds a little bit of superfluous gene chain to itself, which is better than nothing. Basically, people who choose such an exchange will eventually have to resent it A sum of reward points is used to truly exchange for the bloodline enhancement of mutants to cover the past.

After all, this seems to be specially prepared for those who have reached the fourth stage of liberation, but have not strengthened their bloodlines. Apart from monsters that meet such requirements, who else can manipulate their own genetic blueprint in an anti-customer manner?

……

……

"The store manager... I want to ask you something—"

Satisfied with putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Kamijou Touma leaned on the back of the chair in a hopeless manner, tilted his head back, looked at the scenery of the sunset street outside the window, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

There is a warm feeling in his chest, this is life, how long has it been since I have had such a pleasant leisure...

No, no, this is not the time to relax, Kamijou!
There was a sudden jolt, as if he had thought of something important, Kamijou Touma sat up decisively, and turned his gaze to the counter.Without the slightest hesitation, he coughed lightly, and directly asked the question he was most concerned about:

"Well, at noon, the store manager, when you were dueling with the girl from the middle school, was it true that you said it... that is, that is, you can read brainwaves and directly read other people's psychology Activities or something..."

Then he saw the black-haired boy behind the counter glance at him, and his body froze immediately.

Before human beings take action, there will always be some "weak movements that the person does not intend".And before a major event occurs, it will also cause aftermath like a tiny precursor before an earthquake.

The more powerful a human being or existence is, the more obvious this tiny harbinger is.

Generally speaking, the smaller the creature without high intelligence, the more obvious the reaction to such omens.

Fortunately, Kamijou just happens to be the kind of person who is also particularly outstanding in perception, like foreseeing, but limited to eyesight and reflexes, but he is able to reach out and block Misaka just right every time. Mikoto's Lightning Spear...

Here is the proof.

It was also because of this that he always felt that for some reason, the manager's gaze today seemed particularly dangerous - not that the gaze of the other party was particularly threatening, but literally felt that there was something vaguely wrong.It seemed that as long as he was covered in the sight of the other party, his life might be in danger at any time.

It must be an illusion!

When Kamijou Toma was sweating wildly, Mu Xiu had already looked away, stretched lazily, yawned and said:

"That's right, but it's not something too mysterious. You can just use it as the "mind eye" or something. Isn't there a saying in the practice of swordsmanship that the heart of the sword is clear? Will be confused by anything, can understand everything, can predict safety..."

He probably knew what the hedgehog-haired boy wanted to ask, so he tried to cover it with nonsense.

At this time, most of the sun outside had sunk, and the orange-yellow sunset light on the street also dragged long shadows, as if there was no more heat.

"Sword...Kenshin what is it, the one from Feitian Yujianliu..." Kamijou Touma's brain fell into a state of chaos as expected.It seems that even if there is a "Lord God" translation, those who should not understand still don't understand.

"..."

"..."

"Kamijou, you must not understand..." Mu Xiu stopped what he was doing, blinked and looked at the hedgehog-headed boy playfully, and said slowly.

"Wait, store manager, whether I understand it or not, I always feel that this sentence is very unlucky..." Kamijou Touma came back to his senses, and complained loudly with a wry smile, and then he looked around subconsciously, " And this is the first floor, not a school rooftop or something!"

Mu Xiu frowned: "The primates over there should listen carefully to others' answers after asking questions, and don't interrupt casually. This is very rude."

"Oh, I'm sorry, aren't you—hey, you're a primate too!" Kamijou Touma nodded and apologized almost like a conditioned reflex, his expression twitched after thinking about it.

"You know, before I came to Academy City, I often practiced swordsmanship!" Mu Xiu ignored the previous topic and continued on.

"Because I have practiced a few times and achieved a little success, I can barely reach the realm of cutting down Feiyan... So now after the ability development, I have mastered the superb "mind eye" skill, isn't it a matter of course? "

"I'm sorry, I didn't see where the logical logic lies... and the sword-slashing of flying swallows, no matter how you look at it, it's not at the level of "a little bit of practice"!Manager, don't you consider opening a dojo and concentrate on teaching others kendo or something? "

The hedgehog's head was covered with black lines that almost formed a shadow.

"No, no, it's too troublesome to open a dojo, and I don't have the time and energy—" Mu Xiu waved his hands proudly, as if he completely regarded the other party's words as sincere praise, but then he seemed to think of something like that , after raising his eyebrows, he looked at the young man Kamijou thoughtfully.

"But if you want to learn, I can teach you."

On a whim, Mu Xiu wanted to see what kind of strange chemical reaction would happen if Kamijou Touma's force value attribute was increased.

With this thought in mind, the boy began to observe seriously. The most striking thing about Kamijou boy is naturally his messy, soaring hair. Other than that, his height and weight are at the average level, and he is a slightly muscular type. , but those muscles are exercised in unconventional ways such as fighting or fleeing in the alley.

Although classified as a "bad student who likes to fight", Kamijou Touma is not a good fighter, he only has confidence in his long-distance running ability.In the original book, it was only because most of the opponents were magicians and superpowers, and the opponents paid less attention to physical training, that he had the opportunity to use the bastard punch to cover his face.

If you can improve your force value and combat awareness a little bit, it seems...it might be quite interesting.

"Ah, this, let's forget it..." Kamijou Touma froze for a moment, looking quite surprised, he hesitated rubbing the back of his head, then shook his head.

"I think it's already quite good now. Academy City is actually very peaceful. It's the same whether you have the ability or not—uh, wait, did I say something wrong, why did your eyes..."

"No, it's nothing, Kamijou, you must not understand... You just haven't seen how heavy this city is for the truly powerless."

Mu Xiu raised his chin old-fashionedly, "But, have you really forgotten your unlucky physique? The frequency of bad luck to get involved in troublesome incidents is very high - you told me that."

"Uh, this, sometimes it's just an occasional failure... Manager, I think we should talk about the previous one..." Kamijou Touma smiled bitterly, and he retorted in a low voice with a rather guilty conscience, and at the same time tried hard to Get back to the topic at the beginning.

"Think about it, don't you just often get into trouble with punks and get chased away? If you have enough ability to deal with those ordinary students who are incompetent, you can even save a lot of medical expenses. !"

Mu Xiu launched a knowing blow without hesitation!
"..."

"..."

The eyes of the hedgehog head shook violently in an instant, and he hesitated for a long time. During this process, his face changed unsteadily, his eyes struggled endlessly, but in the end he stood up abruptly and ran over, slamming his hands on the counter superior--

"Please teach me! Master!"

"Very good, let's start tomorrow. Remember to buy a few bamboo knives for training... Now, clean up the kitchen waste, and then take it out!" Mu Xiu said with a smile, he suddenly had a An urge to toss the other party a little bit rose up in my heart.Sure enough, it's a human problem. Are you good at being a teacher?

"Uh, do you also need to buy kendo uniforms and protective gear?" Kamijou Touma was a little puzzled, and had a hunch that something was wrong.

"Hehe, what do you need protective gear for, Kamijou, you must not understand..." Mu Xiu responded noncommittally, "Pain is the best way to learn body memory skills."

"..."

While sweating profusely, Kamijou Touma vaguely felt that something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something.
