It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

So, after arriving at the company the next day, he immediately arranged the corresponding matters.

In the laboratory, Miss Su Lin was still worried as usual, "Master..."

"Ahhh, I don't want to hear that."

Xu Shi shook his head like a child, "You can't say anything nice... If anything happens to me, you'll be the first one to be punished after I become a ghost."

"Please don't say such things!"

Su Lin was stunned, then she scolded him seriously.

"Then pray that I succeed."

Xu Shi raised his eyebrows nonchalantly.

"……Yes."

Su Lin sighed, put on all the instruments for him, then slowly injected the medicine in the syringe, stood by, and carefully observed the data.

In fact, she knew that the risk of using the potion would not be too great, but there was nothing she could do, this was the loyalty in her heart.

No matter how things change, my loyalty will never waver.

PS: "Rating criteria for upgraders":

D-level: Abilities that are useless or cause side effects. Theoretically, there is no possibility of "upgrading".

Level C: Ability to have a slight influence, with the possibility of "further upgrading".

Level B: Ability to have a certain influence.

Level A: Ability to have strong influence.

S-level: Ability with great influence.

SS level: extremely dangerous.

SSS level:? (Due to the lack of data model, the rating system is skeptical about whether this level of ability exists)

Chapter 53 I Really Want to Find Someone to Harm

Although the stability of "Hengwo" is guaranteed, Ms. Su Lin's concerns are not groundless.

This is mainly because the base of the medicine is a highly concentrated "rust mist" extract that is extremely difficult to obtain.

In order to activate the effect of "Rust Mist", it is necessary to retain some of its inherent corrosive and invasive properties.

I had to do it on purpose (sigh).

However, Xu Shi's ability is of the psychiatric type, so the impact on the target drug will inevitably be deeper than other types.

In short, it's more powerful.

As the medicine spread throughout his body, Xu Shi also felt it clearly.

When he first used the "sundial", the feeling of suffocation and oppression in his consciousness made him feel very uncomfortable.

But now it is even deeper - if it was just an ordinary deep sea area before, it is probably the bottom of the Mariana Trench now.

The whole person was tightly wrapped in the sea water, his skin felt a tingling sensation, his vision became blurry, and his consciousness became a little fuzzy.

From time to time, I could hear some strange and ethereal whispers in my ears.

"Spread and spread, PDD~"

“Haha↓haha↓haha↓haha↓ha↓ha↑~”

"Oh, here, here, oh, here..."

If you let this kind of thing loop in your mind a thousand or eight hundred times, it's hard to imagine what your mental state will become.

But Xu Shi still tried his best to keep his mind clear, because he knew very well that this was an inevitable process of "re-upgrading".

Compared to other things, superpowers might be relatively fair.

At least no matter what his identity is, if he wants to improve his abilities, he must take certain risks. All he can do is speed up the process. No one can escape the impact of "re-upgrading" itself.

Except for D-level, of course.

So you have to get used to it - this is actually just the beginning. "Hengwo" can only improve yourself to A-level at most, and maybe not even that...there are S and SS behind it. If you don't suffer now, you will suffer in the future.

And doing all this is not just to deal with Shen He or to control Xie Qingyan... Xu Shi feels that his ambitions are quite big, and if he wants to achieve his goals, he must have strong ability support, or in other words, ability and goals themselves complement each other.

Even if we have Su Lin, Xia Wuyou and others, it is not advisable to rely solely on them. A blacksmith must be strong himself.

With this thought in mind, he felt himself gradually adapting and began to explore this boundless seabed bit by bit.

But then again, why is it always like this... There is no relevant description of him as a villain in this aspect in the original novel, but Shen He is still quite watery no matter what.

Every time they think of the Hui people, they are talking about light, temples and so on, but then they think of themselves as being in darkness and the deep sea. It's outrageous.

Xu Shi rolled his eyes secretly, and at this moment, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him.

Ok?

According to previous experience, this should be the anchor point for breakthrough...but Xu Shi always felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, a moment later he discovered that in front of him was an anglerfish several times larger than himself!

And the so-called bright light is nothing more than the bait it throws out.

But even if he knew it, he seemed to have no way to retreat. While he was thinking, the giant beast had already opened its bloody mouth full of fangs towards him!

Hiss...what's going on?

Although I know that this is only my own dimension of consciousness, it won't be a big deal even if it is swallowed up.

But if this is the case, doesn’t it mean that the “re-upgrading” has failed?

Or...

At this moment, Xu Shi suddenly came to his senses.

You are the villain yourself, right?

Well, what the villain has to do is definitely not to be baptized in the light.

Instead, embrace the darkness.

Although there was still some uncertainty, Xu Shi chose to trust his own judgment.

So he no longer hesitated and let the beast slowly close its mouth.

The next second, strands of ink-like substance wrapped him tightly.

The sense of fulfillment it brought made him smile unconsciously.

Sure enough.

……

"call……"

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Shi opened his eyes again.

"Alin, Director Xu is awake!"

After regaining consciousness, the first sentence he heard was not Su Lin's concern, but Jiang Chengcheng's, "Are you okay?"

"Hey? When did you come?"

Xu Shi was still a little surprised, "How long has it been?"

"…About three days."

Su Lin also hurried over, and was relieved to see that he was fine. "Chengcheng originally wanted to send you some documents, but she stayed when she heard that you were upgrading your abilities. She has been taking care of you for the past few days."

"That's it."

Xu Shi looked at Jiang Chengcheng and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."

"How could that be? It's my duty to take care of you..."

Jiang Chengcheng shook her head upon hearing this, her words not only showing concern but also a strong sense of self-blame.

Xu Shi was the person who changed her life, so taking care of him for a few days was nothing... She felt that she had not done enough.

At least she basically did nothing during this period of time. She just improved the first draft of the "Overlimit Plan" while receiving psychological treatment. She couldn't help much in the face of such a thing.

We have to find a way to repay Mr. Xu, right?

But having said that, she has recovered quite well - you can tell from the way she dresses. She is no longer the messy and self-destructive look she had before, and she looks much more energetic.

Even with ordinary attire, it was enough to show how good her foundation was, giving people the feeling of a frail beauty... Come to think of it, after all, the original purpose of old Jiang Fengshan in adopting Jiang Chengcheng was to train her into a socialite like Xia Ke'an.

"This outfit looks great and suits you very well."

Xu Shi couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Chengcheng felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and lowered her head with a red face.

"Data monitoring shows that your "re-upgrade" was very successful, and there are no sequelae."

Su Lin got down to business, "However, the level after the 'upgrade' is only A-, which is still a little far from the A level."

To be honest, Xu Shi's mental data in the past few days were enough to make her shudder - this was the first time in all these years that she had seen data changes like a roller coaster cycle, and several times even the electrocardiogram went straight to zero.

Fortunately, the result was safe.

My young master is different from others.jpg

Xu Shi was not surprised by this result at all. Whether his abilities had been improved or not was basically reflected in his mind the moment he woke up.

A- is certainly not bad. This kind of small branch is harmless and can reach the normal A level with a little consolidation.

However, the effect of this "re-upgrade" was not reflected in the scope of capabilities.

Still failed to unlock the halo... but granted him a new effect that could take effect instantly.

"Insertion of the will to be victimized"

Unlike the long-term impact of "Evil Thoughts Entropy Increase", this branch of ability is more abstract - it can use extremely strong mental shocks to make others no longer think of themselves as "victims" in a short period of time.

If the subject’s mental level is low, they may even develop a certain dependence on being “victimized” while the ability lasts.

It was indeed a clever move... Xu Shi nodded secretly and wanted to find someone to harm right now.

However, let's not use this kind of thing on the two of them... He finally gave up the idea and changed the subject to ask Su Lin.

"What was the situation outside during the days I was unconscious?"

"...I'll tell you one by one."

Su Lin replied respectfully, "In Sin City... the strength of Disiger seems to have grown rapidly recently. According to the intelligence from the informant, they should have accepted the surrender of Spark."

Oh ho?

These two chapters can be considered a small transition, and also serve to complete some of the settings.

Chapter 54: Bad man, you hurt my heart!

Hearing the news about Shen He, Xu Shi suddenly became excited.

This was not because he was so surprised, he had known it would be like this - whether it was dependence or cooperation, Shen He would definitely look for a new backer.

However, his current strength is no longer enough to cooperate with the consortium, and he is not even qualified to be a dog... The better choices are those gangs in Sin City that were once as powerful as "Starfire".

For example, the existence of "Disger" and "Long Knife Party" - anyway, "Dragon City" will definitely look down on him, so he can only choose to endure in such a place.

But it seems that not long after this, he has actually recovered? Should we say that he is worthy of being the protagonist, the young man is a bit lucky.

Okay, then have fun for two more days, and then I’ll step up the intensity for you.

In fact, Xu Shi had already had the idea of ​​developing in Sin City - since his father passed away, the connection between "Snake Ring" and Sin City has become much less. At least he currently does not have any stable partners or forces supporting him secretly.
