MTL - Cataclysm King-Chapter 31 Big Dark Breath

  Chapter 31 Great Dark Breathing Method

  Ji Xun has joined the job.

   It went very smoothly.

  He became a corpse collector in the city of innocence.

   Once you have a job, you seem to be integrated into this sin city all at once.

   Flash forward for three days.

  No. 117, Dongcheng Street, where the branch of Golden Oak Security Company is located.

  There is a lonely big red brick and glass house here.

   Behind the house full of black glass stands a stone tower billowing black smoke, which is the chimney of the crematorium.

   This is the work place and dormitory of the body collector.

   Three floors underground.

   This is the morgue.

  The corpses collected from various places in the Fifth East District of Innocence City will be parked in the morgue for a few days, and can only be burned after the spell power dissipates completely.

  On weekdays, except for transporting corpses, no one would come to this unlucky place.

   There are no living people on the entire floor, only dozens of "clients".

  They were quietly stuffed in the cold compartments that looked like drawers.

  The air-conditioning condensed on the ground, forming wisps of white mist, which was cold and eerie.

   At this moment, in the morgue, Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.

  He exhaled slightly, and sighed with emotion: "Hey, this [Darkness Breathing Method] is not very efficient."

  His expression was extremely calm, and the iron boxes of corpses around him did not make him feel a little bit of fear.

   On the contrary, it is quiet, private, and undisturbed, which is exactly what you want.

  Ji Xun can unscrupulously use [Devil's Feast] to devour the supernatural properties left in the corpse.

  The only fly in the ointment is that most of these corpses have been treated with alchemy potions by the body collectors, and most of their extraordinary characteristics have been lost.

   But even so, it is enough for his devouring needs.

   This is his third day of work as a body collector, and his body values ​​have changed drastically at this moment.

  「Ji Xun」

   Strength: 1.13

   Constitution: 1.09

  Agility: 0.84

   Spirit: 4.85

   Mana: 65/65

  Halo: Doom Gambler

  Element Affinity: Dark 12/Light 3/Earth 4/Wind 2/Water/Fire 3/Thunder 1/Wood 3

  Skills: [Devil Feast Lv0 (36/500)], [Shadow Stealth Lv0 (12/100)], [Advanced Firearms Specialization (1566/3000)], [Darkness Breathing Lv1 (2/300)]

   With the convenience of the profession of corpse collector, Ji Xun has been in this world with a morbid attribute of around 0.7, and now he feels much stronger than his state before time travel.

   Moreover, the affinity and spell power of each department have also grown steadily.

   This is only the effect of three days.

  Ji Xun can already imagine that if he really has to stay for a few months and half a year, what will his attributes grow to at that time?

  The future is promising.

  He stood up and put away the booklet in front of him with the route of Qimai running.

   This is the [Darkness Breathing Method] he bought at the black market in Innocence City three days ago.

  The name sounded bluffing, and it was the worst dark breathing method on the market, and the price was nearly 50,000 yuan.

   That's pretty much all the cash he currently has.

   I bought this breathing method to increase my affinity for darkness as soon as possible, so that I can use [Shadow Stealing] without restriction.

  After hard training in this booklet, it can theoretically allow people to cultivate to the sixth stage of mantra.

  Three days ago, the night he got the booklet, he began to try to practice.

  【JOKER】The +10 attribute of comprehension brought by him allows him to easily understand those obscure and difficult vocabulary descriptions in the classics.

   After trying a few times, he directly grasped the aura described in the classics that it takes "1-4 weeks" for normal people to find it.

  That was the first time Ji Xun experienced the outrageous buff effect of savvy on skill learning.

   Then he started a formal meditation practice that night.

  Trying to operate the magic power in the body according to a specific law according to the breathing method, it really can be controlled.

   And along with breathing out and absorbing the dark elements in the air, after each round of operation, the magic power is also strengthened.

  The change is more directly displayed on the data panel. The breath method is fully operated once, and the mana value has increased by about 0.1.

  A cycle of half an hour. In theory, one night of meditation can increase the mana by about 1 point.

  As the proficiency increases, the efficiency of the breathing method gradually increases, and the increase in spell power also increases.

  Three days to today, the breathing method has been raised to Lv1, and the element absorption efficiency has increased by several percent.

   This made Ji Xun gradually realize how strong the demon mark he fused was.

  But it was because of his strength that he disliked [Darkness Breathing Method].

[JOKER] This epic demon imprint has brought him the affinity growth of all elements. He can clearly perceive that there are various magic elements in the air, such as earth, wind, water, fire, light, darkness, thunder, wood, gold

   That is to say, any kind of mana he absorbs now will not cause a mana conflict.

  The [Darkness Breathing Method] he is practicing now only absorbs a single "dark attribute spell power", and the absorption efficiency is still very low.

   It's like there are one hundred free elements of various spells in the air, and the dark elements only account for about one-tenth. Then his breathing method absorbed about a fraction of the tenth, and the final efficiency can be imagined to be low.

  So Ji Xun had an idea in his mind that he didn't know if it was reasonable or not.

  He felt that if he could absorb multiple element particles at the same time, wouldn't the mana power increase?

  But this idea is just a thought.

   Breathing method is a must-learn skill for spell card masters, and the price is also very expensive.

  His broken breathing method cost 50,000 yuan, and the price of the "black iron quality" breathing method was more than 100,000 yuan.

   Not to mention the silver breathing method.

  Ji Xun currently has no money to consider buying.

  The only valuables in his hands are some skill cards he got from the Blackwater mercenaries.

  But when I got these spoils in the different-dimensional space, Chu Jiu kindly reminded me that it is best not to use the spell power if you have not mastered the corresponding attributes.

   Moreover, the card has the hidden mark of the black water group, so it cannot be sold.

   But don't worry.

  At present, the physical fitness is not strong enough, and [Devil's Feast] swallows too fast, and there will be a feeling of indigestion.

  Ji Xun plans to be a corpse collector for a while longer.

   Not long after waking up from meditation, the sound of "creaking" and "creaking" metal friction came from the cold corridor.

  It was the sound of the building's old elevator cables rubbing against the pulleys.

   In this secluded third underground floor, it is particularly harsh.

   Ji Xun heard it from a long distance away.

  The iron bars of the elevator opened, and a fat boy came out.

  He pushed a few new corpses into the morgue, and greeted: "The second team has sent a few 'new customers', and we need to deal with them."

  Ji Xun nodded and helped put the corpse into the cabinet.

  This little fat man is called Gibb, he is only sixteen years old, and he is also a corpse collector, who joined the job a few days earlier than him.

  Because the two are newcomers, they are the ones who do the dirty work of moving the corpse.

  Ji Xun felt that more work would suit him.

  The more he can stay with the corpse, the more attributes he can devour.

   But for others, the job is not so easy.

  The little fat man looked tired at the moment, and his eyes also had faint dark circles.

   It's not just because he didn't sleep well after two missions last night, but also because he was contaminated by corpses.

  The reason why the salary of the body collector is high is not because the nature of the job is taboo, but the most important thing is the short life!

  The out-of-control extraordinary characteristics will continue to pollute those who are close to it. Although the corpse collector has special treatment methods, but he has been dealing with corpses for a long time, the contact frequency is high, and the probability of being polluted and deformed is also extremely high.

   It is said that the body collectors of the Golden Oak Security Company have not been on the job for more than a year.

  Put the corpse into the box, and the little fat man said apologetically, "Brother, those expired customers have to be burned again. I really feel uncomfortable staying here."

   There were dozens of corpses in the morgue, and all kinds of pollution leaked out, and his body really couldn't bear it.

  Ji Xun didn't take it seriously: "Yes, just put it here."

  The little fat man was still feeling a little sorry, and said, "I'll treat you to Downing Street for a drink when you get paid."

  Ji Xun smiled: "Okay."

At this time, Gibb looked at his dark blue arm like a long corpse spot, and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that I don't know anything, or I will become a treasure hunter. Although hunters are dangerous, it may be possible to fight." Get rich. Be a body collector."

  Ji Xun didn't speak.

  If possible, he also plans to work as a body collector for a few months.

  The little fat man said again: "By the way, tomorrow is the hunter union's free class for Katu, do you want to listen?"

  Ji Xun: "Yes."

  There is no Transcendent Academy in this innocent city. He is worried about where to get a system of Transcendent knowledge, and the Hunter Union will naturally not miss the course on basic card knowledge.

  The little fat man is also looking forward to it. It is always good to learn some knowledge: "When will we be together?"

"good."

  Ji Xun nodded.

Just as the little fat man finished speaking and was about to leave, a voice came from the brass pipe on the wall: "Someone found a body in the first cellar at No. 17 Tailor Street. Dongjiu, let's go to the fifth team and a few people to deal with it. Remember how much?" Bring some alchemy potions."

   This is an ancient communication tool of the security company. Special brass pipes can transmit orders from the office to all parts of the building.

  The little fat man spread his hands and said distressedly: "There is another mission."

   Ji Xun also nodded.

  The job of the corpse collector is still very ideal at present, but the frequency of missions is a bit too high, and it is done day and night.

   With such a simple and simple folk customs in the city of innocence, it is not normal for a team in the DC area that their team is in charge of not to receive a few dead bodies a day.

   There have been more than a dozen missions in the past three days.

  The two didn't dare to delay, they ran up quickly, took the toolbox, and rushed onto the steam truck on the side of the road.

  Steam trucks with oak trees on their black-painted carriages zip down the street.

   There are five people sitting in the carriage.

  In addition to Ji Xun and the little fat man, there is also the captain Dong Jiu with a centipede scar on his face, and two other old employees "Scorpion Liu" and "Baoya".

  The names of people in this world are strange. Many people in Innocence City don't like to reveal their real names, but some people really only have a nickname.

  Ji Xun has become accustomed to it.

  The five of them were all wearing white gloves and lifeless black clothes, which were the overalls of the corpse collectors.

  Ji Xun and the fat man sorted out the toolbox that contained bottles and jars of alchemy potions.

  Dongjiu and the other two old employees didn't mean to help at all, they just chatted boredly.

   "The company sent a message saying that more than a dozen corpses were found in the cellar of Tailor Street. I'm busy today. Judging from the tone of the boss, the client seems to be quite troublesome this time."

   "Tailor Street? Isn't that a civilian neighborhood? How could so many people die?"

"Who knows. I hope there aren't any troublesome customers today. I heard that yesterday, an unlucky guy from Team 7 in District 4 encountered a spell out of control while dealing with customers in the Weasel Street sewer, and the corpse deformed and grew a jagged tentacle." , directly bit off that guy's lifeblood."

   "Hahaha, it's really unlucky."

  “.”

   The conversations in the carriage are all small talk, but the amount of information is not small.

  Ji Xun learned a lot of useful information from several people in the past three days.

   But right now, I am also confused.

  Going on mission these days, he has clearly memorized most of the street names in the East Fifth District of the jurisdiction.

  He clearly remembered that Tailor Street was a living area for ordinary people, and there were almost no violent incidents.

   Now not only people are dead, but more than a dozen at a time?

   But in any case, it is a good thing for him to have more corpses.

   It is best that the pollution is as strong as possible.

   Thanks for the support of 'Charge's Jelly' 500, 'Wanyexian' 500, 'GT Wanlihong', 'Traffic Master', 'AD 1', '20220812114512415', 'Senior Maowan', thank you very much.
