National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

Chapter 3866 Body Refining Technique

[Hint: The player has already mastered - Furnace Body Refinement Technique (Beginner)].

[Skill: Furnace Body Refinement Technique (Beginner)]

Explanation: Use yourself as a furnace to refine the mutated core power.

Note: Due to the low rank of this skill, the refining process will cause great pain, with a small chance of backlash and an extremely small chance of obtaining additional distortion effects (optional).

Warning: This skill can currently only refine and absorb second-tier and lower-tier aberration crystals. Forcibly refining higher-tier aberration crystals may lead to unknown consequences. Please be careful.

Fang Heng glanced at the skill descriptions a few times.

Try holding a distorted crystal in your palm.

The energy within his body circulated, instantly transforming into a scorching furnace inside.

The heat flowed down the body and concentrated in the palms.

"Chichichi..."

The deformed crystals in the palm of the hand were quickly dissolved and cleaned up by the heat flow.

[Hint: Player absorbs aberrant crystals].

[Note: Players with a Constitution attribute above 200 are immune to the negative effects of the Abnormal Crystal.]

[Hint: Player has mastered the skill - Physical Deformation].

Skill: Physical Deformation (Basic).

Current skill level: LV:1 (This skill can be upgraded to LV:10 at most).

Skill Description: Increases the player's Constitution, Strength, and Agility by 1 points each, and additionally increases Strength, Constitution, and Agility by 0.2 times the skill level.

Fang Heng turned his gaze away from the game prompts.

Physical deformities are a special type of skill.

Similar to academic skills, it can further enhance basic attributes.

The skill level is currently too low, and the attribute improvement is very slight.

As skill levels gradually increase, there should be a significant boost.

Thinking about it, Fang Heng began to collect all the dozens of aberration crystals he had obtained from killing the Dark Mist Monster.

The convoy restarted quickly after clearing the battlefield.

Having weathered a crisis, the team's path for the second half of the journey went smoothly.

It took more than an hour for the convoy to slowly enter the main city.

The trucks continued into the city's warehouse district to unload their cargo.

"Mr. Su Zhou, we are very grateful for your team's help along the way. We were able to escape safely from the monsters. Our Chamber of Commerce will remember this kindness."

"You must be tired from your journey. Our Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a banquet in the city in a couple of days. We would be honored if you could join us..."

"We should strengthen cooperation among our major chambers of commerce in the future."

Many people fawned over Su Zhou, wanting to cultivate a good relationship with his team.

Not to mention that Fang Heng's combat power is extremely terrifying, coupled with his ability to see through the dark fog, he is an extremely rare talent for any team.

Even if we don't try to win them over, we certainly can't become their adversaries.

"No problem, no problem."

Su Zhou used to be a nobody, and he was never surrounded by people like this before. He was a little unaccustomed to it and forced himself to say some polite words.

After finally shaking off the crowd, Su Zhou saw Fang Heng standing by the office set up by the Holy Judgment Bureau, so he quickly walked over.

"Mr. Fang Heng, are you willing to accept the mission from the Holy Tribunal?"

"Ah."

Fang Heng turned his gaze away from the task list on the office floor of the Holy Judgment Bureau.

The Holy Judgment Office issues various tasks to the public, and completing these tasks will earn you special points provided by the Holy Judgment Office.

Points can be redeemed for special resources provided by the Holy Judgment.

Among them are lanterns with stronger ability to dispel dark fog, higher-level aberration crystal cultivation techniques, martial arts, treasures, and so on.

"The cultivation methods here are only sold up to the intermediate level?"

“Yes, higher-level methods are only available for sale in the seven major cities, and the Holy Tribunal will vet the buyers.” Su Zhou explained, “As for further advanced cultivation methods, we will have to find our own way to obtain them; the Holy Tribunal will not sell them to the public.”

"Unless we are willing to join the Holy Inquisition."

Su Zhou shrugged as he spoke, “I’ve heard it’s very difficult. The Primordial Clan founded the Holy Tribunal, and they are very wary of all other races. It’s very difficult to gain their approval and join the Holy Tribunal.”

"I see."

Fang Heng nodded slightly.

He had originally planned to directly accept the mission from the Holy Tribunal, grind through it first, and max out his Aberration skill level.

It's not a big problem.

After all, advanced cultivation methods are not only sold by the Holy Judgment Bureau.

Just take it one step at a time.

First, get your hands on the intermediate-level skill training methods.

Judging from the tasks announced by the Holy Church, the difficulty level is not high.

You can submit resources repeatedly to farm resources.

It should take about a day.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and then asked, "By the way, have you triggered any main quests?"

"Yes, in fact, we completed an extremely difficult task before, which triggered the entrance to the Aberration World game. Because we completed the task perfectly, we obtained relevant extra rewards, and after entering the game, we directly triggered the main storyline guidance quest."

Su Zhou nodded and said, "It's just a team mission. Canceling the mission will result in a significant penalty."

Fang Heng understood immediately.

He had triggered a similar main quest guide when he entered the Realm of Wansen before.

I was really misled by the quest guide back then, and ended up taking a lot of detours.

Fang Heng said, "It's alright, share the task with me."

Su Zhou immediately shared the mission he was carrying.

[Note: Player Su Zhou is sharing a quest with you. Do you accept? If you accept, you will receive the quest progress. If the quest fails, you will be penalized.]

[Hint: Players have triggered a team quest - Stand Firm].

Task Name: Gain a Firm Foothold

Task type: Main quest.

Task difficulty: S.

Mission Description: You have chosen to join the Rust City Gang among many gangs, which is a very smart choice. The Rust City Gang is one of the stronger gangs among the seven major cities, and its members are mainly human. You will not be targeted too much within the gang, but it will not be easy to gain a foothold within the gang.

Task requirement: Upgrade the team level to LV:10 (current level: LV:2).

Additional note: If a player changes this questline, the player's team will have a total of 20 God Points deducted, and the game will provide new quest guidance.

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompts.

This step doesn't seem too difficult.

It's nothing more than racking up contribution points.

Su Zhou said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mr. Fang Heng, the Rust City Gang is one of the human forces in one of the seven major cities. This force provides higher-level cultivation methods, although they are not easy to obtain. To be honest, we are currently facing a bit of trouble."

"What trouble?"

“Our respective mining areas have encountered problems.”

Su Zhou smiled wryly and gave a general account of the matter: "Besides being a human gang, the Rust City Gang has relatively simple requirements for joining. You only need to pass a basic assessment and pay a large membership fee."

"After joining the guild, they assigned us the management of a mine located west of the city." (End of Chapter)
