It’s June 25th, Year Two of the Wasteland Calendar.
A rare Sunday.
Although the area surrounding the institute has gradually expanded, a prosperous business district has gradually developed.
All kinds of shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, offering olive branches to this group of generous researchers. Even the little fish people have seen business opportunities and opened massage shops in this area.
But during vacation, researchers still prefer to go to Hope Town or Fishman Town to spend money.
As more and more survivors have poured into the territory recently, the blending of cultures has naturally made business more prosperous, with new shops opening almost every day.
Naturally, researchers can get unprecedented novel experiences every week.
This undoubtedly greatly relieved their pressure of staying in one place for a long time.
So when Sumo was prepared to be harassed by a large number of onlookers like the last time, and stepped into the research institute, the place was empty and a little deserted.
You can vaguely see a group of construction apprentice players gathered around the center of the research institute, pointing and seeming to be surveying and preparing for the expansion of new facilities.
Sumo walked over curiously and poked his head to hear what the group of people were discussing.
However, before he could get close, he saw a big fluffy dog suddenly emerge from the crowd and rush towards him very affectionately.
Oreos?
Following the big dog, a petite figure also came out, with a face full of surprise.
But after seeing Somo not far away, one person and one dog suddenly showed excited expressions.
"Paid feeders are set up in other places and no one patronizes them. Ordinary people are reluctant to spend money to feed them, but this group of rich researchers are different. They will definitely be willing to spend a small amount of money to raise a pet!"
Two! As soon as they met, Su Chan cheerfully stated the purpose of appearing here.
Sumo was immediately happy when he heard this.
The breeding farm is an industry with huge initial investment and extremely slow return on investment.
Especially after Catalina settled in and started those weird experiments, even though the town has allocated funds more than once, it still seems to be a drop in the bucket on an increasingly larger scale.
Therefore, Su Chan established a paid feeding system a long time ago in order to reduce the cost of breeding.
It’s a pity that at that time, the villagers didn’t have any money left in their hands, and few people were willing to waste money.
The paid feeder plan failed!
But now as the territory's economy gradually recovers, Su Chan once again sees the feasibility of this plan.
“This time I did the research again and made major changes to the plan. We plan to sell pets!”
"And I have reached a cooperation with Professor Catalina. She is responsible for cultivating corresponding pets according to the needs of customers, and I am responsible for recovering the costs and making money!"
Sounds like a good plan.
Lonely and wealthy researchers may really be able to spend a little money to raise a pet to relieve their boredom.
But when I think of the weird results that Catalina has researched, and the reason why she moved out of the research institute
Suma Ichiraku.
"Then I wish you good luck in advance."
"Wait, don't you plan to invest a little in such a good plan?"
Su Chan seemed a little dissatisfied with this answer, keenly I could tell something was wrong.
“Investment?”
Sumo tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh and pointed to the deserted coffee shop next to him.
"Go over there, maybe I can really invest in you."
Since points can upgrade the subjects, can Su Chan be counted as one of the subjects, right?
As soon as he sat down, Sumo couldn't wait to open the system and switch to the enhancement and upgrade panel.
Aiming at Su Chan, a faint light flickered, and sure enough, the corresponding upgrade panel appeared.
Hey, it works!
[Name: Su Chan
Position: Tianyuan Territory Central Breeding Farm: Person in Charge
Template: Handmade Lover (Level: 6; not advanced)
Attribute: Physique 3/Bone Strength 3/Brain Strength 5/Talent 4/Health 6
Potential: 14+7 (Originally, he was a little transparent that was invisible to everyone, but after being blessed by special creatures, his potential is close to that of human geniuses. Top! )
Number of times that can be strengthened: 2 (1 chance of strengthening is provided for every 10 points of potential)
Characteristic status:

Favor of the Ice and Snow Goddess (Red): Being favored by a special creature, the potential will be permanently increased by 50% based on the base value, and the luck will be fixedly increased by 20%.
】
"There is actually a red characteristic state?"
The flash of bright red on the panel made Sumo extremely surprised.
But after seeing clearly the specific bonus and source of red, all the surprises quickly became clear.
“Oreo’s blessing can actually increase potential by 50% and luck by 20%, and the bonus will also change based on the base value. This red characteristic is really abnormal.”
Sumo couldn't help but click his tongue.
In addition to the higher health value due to regular consumption of psionic water, the mediocre five-dimensional attributes are indeed worthy of the evaluation of "little transparent".
However, with the addition of the two characteristic states, Su Chan immediately turned from a transparent child into a genius.
"Brother, don't worry, we only need fifty thousand, no, one hundred thousand copper coins."
"You invest some initial capital in me, and I will give you 20% of the shares. This is primitive Stock! ”
Su Chan was still tirelessly introducing the advantages of her plan.
On the other hand, Oreo, who was squatting on the ground beside him, seemed to sense something and raised his head curiously and looked over.
【Upgrading and Strengthening】
As Sumo invested one hundred war points, the attribute panel began to blur.
After about five seconds, it suddenly became clear.
【Upgrade and strengthening successful! 】
[The characteristic status of the leader 'Su Chan', 'Animal Talk (Blue)', is upgraded to 'Nature Spirit (Purple)']
[Nature Spirit (Purple): The darling of nature, able to communicate with The animals talk freely and listen to their voices.
Can passively improve the surrounding natural environment, making it more suitable for biological growth.
Other creatures will not be able to take the initiative to do malicious harm before making a malicious move]
"You are so lucky that you have upgraded from blue characteristics to purple characteristics?"
Secretly sighing at the fact that Su Chan received the Oreo blessing and gained an extra layer of invisible and intangible luck.
Sumo decisively invested another hundred points to upgrade.
The panel began to blur and vibrate slightly.
One second, two seconds, five seconds, ten seconds
This upgrade obviously took longer than before, and it was blurry for ten seconds, and it still has not returned to a clear state.
And just when Sumo secretly guessed the reason, a brilliant golden light suddenly rose from the panel.
“What the hell, golden legend?”
Suma’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, as if they were filled with that ray of gold!
【Upgrade and strengthening successful! ]
[The template ‘Handmade Lover (Common)’ of the leader ‘Su Chan’ has been replaced by ‘Natural Resonator (Legendary)’]
[Natural Resonator (Legend): Legendary template. Once a creature possesses this template, it means that it has been initially recognized by nature and has the qualifications to become the leader of the spirit of all things]
[The original attributes have been Replacement, the natural resonance bonus is being updated.]
[The attributes are replaced with: Physique 5/Bone Strength 5/Brain Strength 10/Talent 10/Health 10]
[Su Chan has obtained new The template comes with the characteristic status: Natural Attraction (Purple)]
[Natural Attraction (Purple): The darling of nature gains the ability to automatically attract creatures. Every cycle, a group of people will appear around the owner of the characteristic. New creatures. 】"Dog care!"
“It’s actually a new feature state!”
Rare routes are nothing new in the New World, even some lucky small territories have them.
But the epic route further up is currently owned by the three superpowers.
As for the legendary route further up, Sumo promised that the Natural Resonator is the first one he knows about.
Affected by the route change, Su Chan, who was still bragging about her pet plan, was stunned.
The instantaneous increase in five-dimensional attributes brings an ecstatic feeling.
The black mucus secreted from the skin gushed out almost instantly, exuding a strong stench.
"Ah"
The screams sounded, and Su Mo's heart moved, and he quickly ordered to the confused coffee shop owner:
"Close the door. You take people out first. Make a report of today's losses and go to the dungeon to get it."
"Oh, oh, okay." With two waiters, the three of them hurriedly fled out.
No way, the physical improvement brought about by this rapid upgrade, the mucus released is simply smelly.
For a moment, the poor coffee shop owner didn’t even want the shop.
"There is a bathroom here, you go and shower first."
"I'm sick, I'll come over later."
With a wink at Oreo, Somo also quickly held his breath and walked outside.
It wasn’t until the glass door cut off most of the smell behind that I breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that you need to be careful with the next upgrade. If it were outside, it might become a walking poison gas bomb."
Looking at Su Chan rushing into the bathroom, Su Mo shrank. Shrinking his head, he walked inside the research institute.
Facts have proved that the upgrade of war points is not too abnormal.
Not only can you upgrade the route level of the upgrade target, upgrade or add new feature status, but even the route can be replaced and upgraded!
Wait a minute, what would happen if this were used on Blue Star natives who don’t have game panels?
"What's going on? It's so smelly?"
Following a distant smell, Lu Kuan, who was sitting in the laboratory analyzing data, frowned.
But when he looked up, he found Somo rushing over in a furious manner.
"Stop, there is a fresh air no-wash device there!"
Pointing to a small room at the entrance, Lu Kuan couldn't help but cover his nose.
It wasn’t until Somo came in and out that the smell was taken away by the circulatory system, and I felt relieved.
“You guys go out first, I’ll talk to Professor Lu about something.”
After leaving the others in the laboratory, Sumo breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the large chair.
"What happened? You won't be attacked by the gas bomb, right?"
Lu Kuan smelled something bad.
He looked over hesitantly:
"I have to explain in advance that the recent experimental project schedule is full, and there is currently no manpower to develop new devices!"
"Of course I know this. Don't say anything yet and give me some time."
Sumo opened the system and scanned it without saying anything.
The light flickered, and after buffering for a few seconds, a slightly luxurious panel appeared in view.
[Name: Lu Kuan
Position: Tianyuan Territory Research Institute: Chief Professor; Dean
Template: Boxing Fan (Level: 10; Not advanced)

】
There are eight characteristic states, three more than the lord Soma.
But there are four of them, all of which are gray.
“Gray seems to have negative bonuses?”
Soma was thoughtful.
Although Lu Kuan was reborn with the mark of the Demon Soul Clan, the way of giving up his body was not the right way after all.
Three of the four negative states are related to the way of sojourn, and one of them also reduces the potential value by a full 17 points, which is more than the entire potential of Su Chan who has not been blessed!
The other four are one red, one purple and two blue.
Red's characteristic status was also affected by the sojourn, which weakened Lu Kuan's ability more than a little bit.
"However, the reduced potential of 74 points can still be upgraded seven times."
Sumo's eyes narrowed and he saw the new five consecutive upgrades appearing next to the single upgrade button.
Although it is not a tenth company, if Lu Kuan cannot reach the potential of over 100, it should be difficult for other people in the territory to reach this value.
Five consecutive clicks of thoughts will increase the value, and 500 war points will be deducted.
The properties panel blurred for an instant, and blue and purple began to flash alternately.
Is it a special reward for the fifth company?
Sumo is a veteran of krypton gold game players, and he can tell the difference from ordinary upgrades at a glance.
Ordinary single draws have no guarantee. You may draw gray or gold.
But Five Companies will have a minimum guarantee, that at least one of the five upgrade items will have a blue or purple bonus.
“I hope it won’t be too ordinary.”
Soma prayed silently, hoping that the newly emerged characteristics would eliminate the impact of the sojourn.
However, after waiting for about half a minute, the properties panel gradually became clear.
Five upgraded rays of light jumped out one after another.
What is gratifying is that there is a ray of purple inside, with a little bit of scarlet, and it seems to be approaching the next level.
But when he looked back, he saw two lines of thick gray color, which immediately made Sumo's heart tighten.
In addition, there is a blue and a white line.
"It seems that Lu Kuan's luck is not that good."
Su Mo thought to himself, and then realized that this may be the probability that ordinary people should have when upgrading.
And as far as luck is concerned, Lu Kuan, who only has one brain left, is indeed not lucky!
