The days when I wanted to be a human being

Chapter 144: Fusion of the Second Devil Fruit

"Xiao Kai, help me be alert."

"Okay, this system is the best at this, please rest assured, Master."

Zhou Ling separated the Flame Dragon Armor and asked the auxiliary system to help guard the door, then he sat down weakly on the chair.

When Zhou Ling thought that the feeling of weakness would last for more than four years, he had the urge to increase his physical fitness directly to one thousand points.

But after giving it some thought, she gave up. In addition to being worried about the increase in the cost of applying for assistance, what she was most worried about was that her strength level would increase too quickly and cause the Samsara Platform to target her.

This was only her second survival challenge, and the time had been extended to ten years. She didn't even dare to imagine how much "extra time" she would have if she were to reach the god level directly.

Therefore, Zhou Ling could only give up the idea of ​​increasing her own attributes for the time being. At least she would not add attribute points until she figured out the fundamental reason why the reincarnation platform increased the difficulty of survival.

Regarding the targeting of the Samsara Platform, Zhou Ling actually had another guess, which was that the Samsara Platform determined the difficulty of the task based on her overall strength, not just the level of the attributes.

This time she decided to try strengthening the items to see if that would increase the difficulty of the reincarnation platform.

If the difficulty is really increased based on overall strength, then she can only increase everything that can be increased, otherwise it will be troublesome when she reaches a worse place next time.

This time she was thrown directly into the sea. Fortunately, she can fly. If she is thrown directly into space next time, will she also have to fly?

If it is thrown directly into space far away from the planet, it will be doomed no matter how fast it flies.

After much thought, she still had to improve her strength, or at least prepare more trump cards.

A character card like Tom Cat is good and is very suitable to be used as a shield. I hope Tom won’t be angry.

Zhou Ling was a little speechless when he saw the Tom Card in his hand, which was no longer as shiny as before. The information provided by the second talent was really brief. It didn't even describe such important things as how much time it would take for the energy consumed by using the character card to recover.

Her view on Talent 2 has quietly changed.

I don't know if the disadvantage of not being able to swim will still exist after using the second talent to fuse the devil fruit.

This was what Zhou Ling thought about devil fruits before.

But after getting the second one, she had a new idea, that is, whether Talent 2 could fuse the two fruits into Tom.

She began to use her talent 2 to check the information of the devil fruit.

Devil Fruit - Parahuman - Transformation Fruit (Red)

Effect: After consumption, you will have a chance to change species, which requires the blood or bones of that species.

Note: After consumption, the side effect is that you cannot swim in the One Piece world, and the abilities of some fruits will be weakened to varying degrees in other worlds. Since the ability of this fruit is one-time, it will not be affected in other worlds.

Enhancement: This item cannot be enhanced.

When she saw the effect, Zhou Ling smiled. She had already turned into Tom, so could she let Tom change into another species?

Many questions popped up in her mind. If she changed her species, could she become a human? She also wondered if she could change her gender based on the blood donor?

To be honest, she missed her little brother who had been with her for nearly twenty years.

But, wouldn't this be a waste of effort? She is a human being.

If you want to transform, you must find a more advanced creature, such as the giants in One Piece.

However, the effect can only be changed once. It would be better if there was no limit on the number of times.

As for the note below, which says that there is a side effect of not being able to swim after eating it, wouldn't it be better if she didn't eat it? However, looking at the notes, it seems that in other worlds she should be able to swim.

At the end, she discovered that the devil fruit could not be strengthened. Zhou Ling was still a little unbelievable. This was the first time she had seen such a situation.

She wanted to explore the meaning behind it, but gave up when she found that she had no clue.

This devil fruit doesn't seem to be of much use right now. At least she doesn't have any powerful creature to transform into now.

When I tried to merge it into the character card, a prompt actually appeared.

"The fusion of this devil fruit requires the blood of a certain creature in order to continue the operation."

Looking at this hint, Zhou Ling suddenly remembered that she did have the blood of some creature in her hand.

She took out a ball of red liquid directly from the armor space.

This was obtained from the supreme commander when the Earth was fighting Godzilla. At that time, due to time constraints, no one paid much attention to it.

He used his mental power to "get" it in front of him and observed it carefully.

This liquid is like blood but not blood. It looks extremely ordinary, as if it is ordinary water dyed with red paint.

But Zhou Ling could keenly sense the hidden aura on it, which was elusive, just like a treasure that would defile itself, making it impossible for ordinary people to see its peculiarity.

And she didn't know if it was her illusion, but after taking out the liquid, it seemed to become active. She could even sense a hint of excitement and...kindness?

Seeing that the conditions for fusing the devil fruit were met, Zhou Ling hesitated. After all, the uncertainty of this red liquid was too great, and she had to be cautious.

So she used her second talent on the liquid.

Rage Potion (Red)

Description: Made from the blood of a mortal creature, due to the limited production technology of Earthlings, the quality is only red.

Effect: After drinking it, you can use the "hide" method to hide your own attributes and turn yourself into an "ordinary person"; Side effects: After the effect of the drug wears off, the consumer will enter an angry state, and will be weak for a period of time after the angry state.

Angry state: Forcefully burn the consumer's energy and blood, temporarily increasing the consumer's various values.

Reinforcement: The reinforcement conditions are not met, explore on your own.

Note: It's amazing, right? This ball of blood is obviously overly powerful, but it gives people a very ordinary feeling; the funny thing is that the ignorant earthlings actually mistook the side effect for the main effect.

Looking at the potion called Berserk but actually hidden, Zhou Ling frowned, because the side effects of the potion reminded her that she was also in a weak state.

She also has a berserk form, but when using it, it consumes accumulated "rage" instead of energy and blood, and she will not enter a weakened state afterwards.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling suddenly discovered a problem. The "anger" that she usually needed for her violent form was in her body, but it was independent of her life energy.

A possibility occurred to her.

Zhou Ling turned her head and looked through the window, seeing that it had gotten dark outside.

The light in the room gradually dimmed.

Her face had long been obscured by darkness, and her expression could not be seen for a moment.

She summoned a knife that she hadn't used for a long time and cut a wound on her hand.

The Flame Dragon Armor who was on guard nearby became nervous when he saw Zhou Ling take out the knife, but regained his composure after finding nothing unusual.

Before the wound healed, Zhou Ling quickly used his mental power to squeeze out a ball of blood.

The wound disappeared in the blink of an eye due to the influence of his high physical condition.

Zhou Ling took his own blood and the rage potion together and compared them.

There was indeed a sense of excitement in her blood, exactly the same as that in the berserk potion, the difference being that it was more obvious than the latter.

Just when Zhou Ling wanted to bring the two pools of liquid closer for observation, the violent potion broke through her mental power and devoured Zhou Ling's blood at an incredible speed.

After she used her mental power to seal the berserk potion again, she carefully observed the ordinary red liquid again.

The excitement was even stronger, and there was even a sense of joy than before.

Zhou Ling wanted to convince herself that this was an illusion. What a strange liquid that actually had emotions!

She suddenly remembered the tip about unmet reinforcement conditions in her second talent. When she looked at it again, she found that the reinforcement conditions had been changed to "satisfied".

Good guy!

Zhou Ling exclaimed in his heart, this is simply outrageous to open the door for his mother, it is outrageous to the extreme.

This potion that was obtained by chance actually required her blood to be strengthened.

Isn't this a joke?

But Zhou Ling thought about it and felt that maybe he was too narcissistic. Maybe he didn't necessarily need her blood?

In order to confirm her idea, she turned into Tom, and used the same method as before to create a ball of Tom's blood and placed it next to the rage potion.

But at this time, the berserk potion was unmoved, and even made Zhou Ling feel its disgust.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling's heart, which had been put at ease, was lifted up again.

This berserk potion seemed to like her blood. Zhou Ling had two guesses in her mind. One was that her blood contained something she didn't know about that the berserk potion liked.

Second, this berserk potion has a lot to do with her blood.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ling suddenly had an absurd idea in his mind.

But deep down she was unwilling to admit that this violent potion was most likely made from her blood, or rather, made from her future self.

After all, she had already understood the gift left by her future self.

It is not impossible.

After exiting Tom form, Zhou Ling decided not to hesitate any longer. Thinking more would not solve the problem, so she might as well use it directly at the breakpoint. However, before using it, she decided to try to see to what extent this rage potion could be strengthened.

She did it as she thought. She cut a deep cut on her wrist and brought the berserk potion close to the wound. She saw a thin stream of blood flowing from the wound to the berserk potion.

"..."

Zhou Ling looked at the berserk potion that drank blood like water, and she suddenly felt a little regretful. Would something bad happen by doing this?

As more and more blood was sucked, the blood-red liquid became even brighter red.

Zhou Ling felt that the feeling of weakness in his body seemed to be getting less and less.

and many more!

No! That's not right. What's going on? Shouldn't he be getting weaker and weaker?

Zhou Ling widened his eyes and was wondering in his heart. At this time, the bright red liquid had stopped sucking blood.

Looking at the enchanting liquid, which revealed an extraordinary temptation, she felt an urge to swallow it all in one gulp. Unconsciously, Zhou Ling opened her mouth and gradually approached the liquid.

Do not!

Zhou Ling suddenly realized something was wrong, and she quickly merged it and the devil fruit into the character card.

The speed was so fast, without any hesitation at all.

She really regretted it in her heart now. The temptation just now was even more serious than the time when she was poisoned.

Seeing that the character card began to flash red, it was a sign of upgrading to red quality, because she had used 900 attribute points for this fusion.

But soon, the red light dissipated and the character card reappeared in front of her.

However, the character card was no longer Tom, but a mature lady who gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Her beauty made Zhou Ling a little fascinated for a moment.

When she saw the woman's face clearly, the color of the character card changed from red to white.

At this time, the royal sister looked like an ordinary person.

While Zhou Ling was still wondering where that familiar feeling came from, the character card turned into white light and covered her.

This situation caught Zhou Ling off guard. She couldn't help but close her eyes. When she opened her eyes, she found that her perspective had changed.

Now she felt that her body had changed and turned into the queen in the character card.

Zhou Ling stood up.

"Owner?"

The auxiliary system that controlled the Flame Dragon Armor asked a question to the taller Zhou Ling.

"It's okay, just stay alert."

Looking at the Flame Dragon Armor, which was two heads shorter than her, Zhou Ling knew that the queen on the character card was at least 1.8 meters tall.

You should know that when the Flame Dragon Armor was separated, it still had the shape of its original body, which was only a little over 1.6 meters tall.

This is the first time I can have such a perspective while standing.

This new form is still wearing Taoist uniforms and is not barefoot, but the difference is that this form is an airport.

It was the first time that Zhou Ling could see her toes while standing.

A sudden inexplicable sadness welled up in my heart.

"Okay, you can be sad about your life when you have time. I have limited time, so please listen carefully."

Suddenly, a girl's voice appeared in her mind. It was a voice that Zhou Ling was very familiar with. It was her own voice, but it had a more vicissitudes of life feel to it.

"You..." Zhou Ling wanted to ask something else, but her future self didn't give her a chance.

"Remember, in this form, you can deceive the detection of the reincarnation platform, but it may become ineffective over time. You need to become stronger as soon as possible and reach ****."

"I almost forgot that you are unable to obtain certain information now," Zhou Ling found that he could not control his body after listening to his future self's feelings.

"She" walked to the window and looked at the sparkling sea in the moonlight, and then continued in her mind,

"The reward for the proxy operation will arrive soon. You must strengthen the white sword first. There is a surprise waiting for you."

She continued, "Mark my words, the Samsara Platform is a trap."

After saying something that made Zhou Ling think deeply, 'she' disappeared.

Zhou Ling was skeptical about the last sentence. After all, the other party did not reveal his identity, so how could she directly believe its authenticity?

As for the ability to avoid detection by the reincarnation platform mentioned earlier, she can only wait until ten years have passed before verifying it.

As for the reward for the proxy operation, she had actually heard about it from the auxiliary system, so she did not doubt it.

But she suddenly remembered the abnormality of the auxiliary system just now.

The auxiliary system was not at all on guard against 'her'.

He has been standing there on guard ever since, as if what happened just now was fake.

Looking at the night view outside the window, Zhou Ling suddenly felt sleepy. In such a short period of time, she had absorbed too much information and she didn't want to continue looking at the second fruit.

But after careful consideration, she took out the second devil fruit.

She decided to melt the two devil fruits tonight.

The previous sentence "You need to become stronger as soon as possible" was like a fishbone stuck in her throat, making her extremely uncomfortable.
