Chapter 69: Artifacts, Equipment and Qualified Persons
"...Okay, then tell me, how can you trust me?"
"First, take off your helmet and mask." Sun Hang said.
Ye Jiu did not hesitate, and took off his helmet and mask as Sun Hang said, revealing a handsome face.
His facial features are very similar to Ye Xuan's, and it can be seen that the person whom Ye Xuan disguised as a man is most likely to be his brother.
However, Ye Jiu looked very haggard, with heavy dark circles on his face. He looked like a social animal who stayed up late and worked overtime all the time.
Could it be that this guy was drained by alcohol and sex? Sun Hang secretly cursed and continued: "Also, tell me what the meaning of trick equipment and qualified people is? I have never heard of these concepts. How can I be sure that you are not making up the rhetoric on the fly?"
"It's normal for border barbarians to be short-sighted..." Ye Jiu glanced at Sun Hang with some contempt, "But I really didn't expect that your knowledge of information about strange objects would be so lacking."
"If you beep again, I won't return this knife to you." Sun Hang flicked the blade of "Zhanshuang" with his finger, and a buzzing sound accompanied the tremor of the blade.
"Don't, don't play!" The expression on Ye Jiu's face instantly changed from contempt to heartache, "Can't I just tell you? The so-called trick equipment is actually the same as the 'exclusive weapon' issued to the trick hunter. Almost the same. It’s just that the tricks and equipment are all tricks, and the selection process for those who are qualified for the equipment is much stricter than that of hunters.”
"Can non-infected people also become qualified?"
"Yes, the first condition for becoming a qualified person is the synchronization rate between oneself and the equipment. More than 25% is considered qualified, and more than 40% is considered excellent. It has no direct relationship with whether one is infected or not." Ye Jiu explained.
"What about you? What is the synchronization rate between you and this set of trick equipment?"
"At 53%, my synchronization rate ranks among the top three among those who have qualified for 'Slaying' in the past. Therefore, I can exert most of its power." Ye Jiu said in his tone. With a hint of pride.
"Are all the artifacts and equipment my own type of artifacts?"
"Most of them are, but it's not absolute." Ye Jiu shook his head, "As far as I know, there is a qualified person codenamed 'Puppet Master', and her trick equipment is more than a dozen without self-awareness. 'Skeleton'."
Sun Hang was not unfamiliar with the concept of "skeletons". Yang Qi told him about it when he first became a hunter.
"Skeleton" is one of the final endings for infected humans - the fourth ending besides death, being absorbed by other monsters, and turning into a new monster.
Skeletons are between corpses and completely transformed infected people. They are a kind of "living dead" similar to the walking dead. They are a bit like the "zombie" commonly seen in thriller-themed works, but compared with zombies, they are not infected. At the same time, it also carries a part of the "lifetime" memory and a small amount of self-awareness... as well as the special ability of a strange thing.
Skeletons are also the hunting targets of monster hunters. Although they will not infect normal humans, their behavioral logic completely follows biological instincts. If left unchecked, vicious incidents that attack humans will easily occur.
"I'm still curious. Can an ordinary person really control a monster with his abilities?" Sun Hang looked at Ye Jiu with doubtful eyes. "Could you be accidentally hit by a monster in turn?" Controlled? ”
"It is dangerous if the synchronization rate with the trick equipment is too low or too high, but at the threshold of 25% to 75%, it is relatively safe." Ye Jiu said, "People with too low synchronization rate are not qualified. There has never been a person who has become a qualified person and has a synchronization rate of more than 75%... The Federation has been researching artifacts and equipment for more than a hundred years, and there are only a handful of cases where artifacts have backfired on qualified people."
< br>
"It's only a handful, which means it's not zero."
"But that's just a very small number of cases." Ye Jiuzui said firmly.
"Then how can you guarantee that you won't be that unlucky case?" Sun Hang played with the Tang Hengdao in his hand, "Since you think there is a possibility of the 'Night Fury' losing control, can I also kill you?" As a time bomb that could explode at any time? "Are you questioning my ability?"
"I'm a little curious, are there no side effects during the use of trick equipment?" Sun Hang asked.
There are risks when humans come into contact with any monster. In addition to the possibility of being infected with the monster virus, there are also various weird "side effects".
For example, the Christmas crystal ball that can strengthen memory will not only cause the user to suffer from hyperamnesia. According to Sun Hang's own experience, this thing is also extremely "addictive"... the kind of brain that is clear and clear. The feeling is simply addictive.
"Of course there are side effects. Guess why my set of trick equipment is called 'Killing'?"
"If you use too much, will you become a murderous lunatic?"
"Absolutely." Ye Jiu nodded, "This set of tricks and equipment originated from the Xuanjia Xiaoqi in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The first owner was a school captain named Ye. During the Anshi Rebellion, he killed several people with his own strength. The army of hundreds of wolves is exhausted From then on, everyone wearing this armor will be infected by the strong killing spirit, lose themselves in the constant killing, and become a complete killing machine."
< br>
"Then how did you solve this problem?"
"The first ten qualified candidates relied on a series of methods such as psychological suggestion, hypnosis, and physical stimulation to prevent their brains from being completely occupied by murderous intentions. But in my opinion, their methods only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause. "Ye Jiu said.
"Then what is your solution...?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Playing video games." Ye Jiu said calmly.
"Ah?" Sun Hang was slightly startled. He almost thought he heard wrongly.
"In the virtual game, I can easily become the fourth natural disaster that kills billions of people - I use orbital bombing to wipe out an entire civilization, use star-killing weapons to destroy the entire planet, and I also turn alien intelligent races into canned food. Selling... Once I get used to these methods, killing in the real world, even if it involves killing hundreds or thousands of people, is boring to me," Ye Jiu said with a shrug.
"Sounds...seems to make sense." Sun Hang nodded in agreement.
He suddenly felt that he could learn from this method.
Just when Sun Hang wanted to ask something more, an extremely powerful strange aura suddenly surged up from the ground!
"Get out of the way! Something is approaching!" Ye Jiu shouted to him loudly, "I can sense it, it's a very powerful monster!"
While Ye Jiu was shouting, Sun Hang had already used mycelium to leap to the top of the huge "M" sign in the Golden Arch Restaurant, staring at the road below with a vigilant expression.
Sun Hang swallowed subconsciously.
Not out of fear, not out of nervousness, but out of that desperate desire for tempting food...
This is an unprecedented sumptuous meal, but its sumptuousness also means that... it may choke the "eater" to death.
