Chapter 62: Gou’s data surged
Not long after, Ji Xun arrived at No. 117 Dongcheng Street, East Fifth District.
Everything here is familiar.
The black glass building was brightly lit, and black smoke billowed out from the chimney of the crematorium.
In the past few days, there have been many times more corpses in Innocence City than in the past. There are not enough corpse collectors at all, not to mention that it is a completely new branch.
Ji Xun went to the recruitment office.
The person in charge of recruiting people is also a strange minister.
All the field staff in the previous branch were wiped out, and no one knew him.
Ji Xun said that there was no obstacle to joining the job and he went through the formalities on the spot.
I was given a "Corpse Collector's Manual", a set of work clothes, and a dormitory key, and then I officially joined the job.
He was assigned to the fifth team again.
This team is responsible for a large area near Downing Street. It has the heaviest work and is always short of people.
The minister just greeted the newcomers below. Originally, the new recruits were required to familiarize themselves with the Corpse Collector's Manual, and only on the second day did they begin to gradually become familiar with the work they were taking over.
But as soon as Ji Xun walked out, the new captain of the fifth team stopped him.
"Hey, the new guy, Ji Jisan, right? Help take the body in the car to the morgue."
"."
Ji Xun raised his eyebrows, his expression under the mask was slightly strange.
It seems that squeezing newcomers is the tradition of corpse collectors. The captain of the new fifth team is very familiar with this trick.
However, the last one that was done like this was already cold.
Ji Xun thought of some pictures, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.
Without saying anything, he pushed the trolley, loaded the body into the trolley with another newcomer, and took the old elevator to the morgue on the third floor below.
As soon as he came in, the newcomer who was two days ahead of him also chose to be lazy and made an excuse: "Hey, you just put the customer into the empty box. I leave this to you. Come on, get familiar with him, I’m going to go up and wait for the mission.”
This guy also treats him as a newcomer who doesn’t know anything.
With that said, the person also left.
Ji Xun shook his head and didn't care.
He put the customers into the iron boxes one by one, and clearly felt the extraordinary characteristics overflowing from the corpses. At the same time, he said something that he could only hear clearly: "The quality of corpses is very high these days."
< br>This eerie morgue makes others wish they would never come back.
Ji Xun likes it here very much.
Quiet and no one disturbs.
Ji Xun was already familiar with this process. He neatly prepared the body, found a corner and began to meditate.
There is no need to go out on missions on the first day of employment.
Ji Xun stayed in the morgue all night.
The next morning, Ji Xun opened his eyes from meditation.
Originally, I planned to go upstairs to have breakfast and then continue to deal with chores. I took the time to meditate and practice.
This is the routine he has developed before.
However, just as he stood up, he suddenly discovered something surprising, and said softly: "The mantra value increased by 200 points overnight?"
Ji Xun rubbed his temples, a little unbelievable.
Because he has always wanted to observe how different the Golden Fragment Breathing Method is from other breathing methods, he has been recording the increase in his mana power.
He clearly remembered that the mantra value on his panel last night was 270.
After these ten hours of meditation, it turned into 481?
An increase of 211 points!
“Why did it rise so much?”
Ji Xun himself was confused.
Normally speaking, if he meditates for ten hours, his current proficiency can increase his mana by about 40 points, which is good. .
But last night, it was five times as much?
"Could it be."
Ji Xun turned his eyes and suddenly realized something.
When he was in the maze before, he meditated and found that the breathing method was much more efficient. At that time, he thought it was a problem with the secret room, or maybe it was swallowed by the third-level corpse.
I didn’t have time to think about it deeply.
Now that there is no environmental impact, the breathing efficiency is even higher!
The breathing method is still at Level 1, so it stands to reason that such an exaggerated increase is absolutely impossible.
Ji Xun eliminated all possibilities, looked at the bag hanging on his waist, and said to himself: "Is it really the cause of this jar?"
Environment and If one's own factors are eliminated, then this is the only possibility.
"This"
Ji Xun, on the other hand, is a bit incompetent.
This [X-711-Curse Pot] cannot be contained, but it has no negative effects, so he has been hanging it on his waist since he came out of the maze.
I thought that in case of trouble, I could block the mysterious curse and act as a passive pendant.
Now it seems that this jar not only has the effect of saving a single object from the curse, but it can also condense the elemental particles in the void and increase the energy to speed up the practice of curses?
Ji Xun thought of this and immediately cheered up: "I picked up a big treasure!"
Professional skills can be learned with practice cards for money, but the magic power I can only rely on my own hard work and meditation to accumulate a little bit.
No one is an exception.
He had heard before that rich people would use some secret potions to assist in the practice of breathing methods, achieving a practice efficiency that was multiple times that of others.
But the kind of cultivation method that is purely money-burning cannot be supported by non-big nobles.
And the potions are all top-secret formulas, and people at the bottom cannot buy them.
There is no use in envy.
Therefore, Ji Xun also estimated that through normal meditation and hard work, even if he had the fragmentary breathing method and the spell power increased far beyond that of ordinary people, it might take a year or two to reach the level of a formal spell card master.
However, I didn’t expect that I randomly picked up a clay pot in the maze, and it turned out to be a big treasure with five times the cultivation efficiency?
Maybe more than that!
The number of this spell jar is X-711. Chujiu said that this is a brand new number, which means it is a new catastrophic object that was only discovered by the Cao family in the old continent.
Probably even they themselves don’t know the specific use.
The functions that have been confirmed now are single-target curse immunity and assisted breathing training.
Just these two effects are a priceless treasure.
Ji Xun thought of a lot at once, his eyes sparkling.
Although there was an increase in the maze before, it was not as exaggerated as last night. I think it was because the jar was not carried close to the person?
Or are there other environmental factors that can affect its growth?
But there is no rush to find out.
No one knows that this thing is in his hands now. There will still be a lot of time in the future to slowly test the effect of this jar.
Dinner was already served in the cafeteria. Ji Xun did not stay in the morgue and walked up.
The mission of collecting corpses will begin today.
Time flies and half a month passes.
Ji Xun continued to work as an inconspicuous corpse collector at the Golden Oak Branch in the East Fifth District under his new identity.
Every day consists of going out on missions, collecting corpses, burning corpses, and practicing.
Regular, ordinary and inconspicuous. During this period, the assassination of Governor Cao Sihai also began to continue to ferment.
Like a tsunami after an earthquake, huge shock waves hit the Innocence City one after another.
There are various armed fights every day in the city.
In addition to gangs, many people from unknown forces also participated.
Without the common foreign enemy of the Cao family of the Governor's Mansion, the wars between the several major gangs in Innocence City have become more and more frequent.
It seems that there are still many behind-the-scenes forces fanning the flames.
Corpse collectors in major urban areas are working at full capacity, and the cremators have never stopped.
Not only are there more corpses, but their quality is also getting higher and higher.
In the past, most of the corpses collected were the corpses of card master apprentices.
But gradually, the corpses of first-level spell card masters and even second-level spell card masters may lie on the streets
The pollution of corpses is getting stronger and stronger, and distortion accidents also occur frequently.
Corpse collection teams from several districts encountered accidents involving corpse distortions when they were out in the field. There were endless occurrences of deformations at the scene, corpses being faked in cars, and corpses crawling out of the morgue.
The level of occupational hazards has skyrocketed.
Even though Golden Oak Company has increased wages, there is still a shortage of people at any time.
But this is good news for Ji Xun.
He can devour more and more attributes every day.
The new captain of the fifth team and several old employees also squeezed this "unsociable" newcomer.
Ji Xun is almost always alone in the morgue now.
He did all the dirty work including delivering the bodies, burning them.
It doesn’t matter if Ji Xun falls, he works hard and does not complain, and he is a transparent person in the company.
This day.
The third underground floor is gloomy.
The sound of "hoo" and "hoo" echoed through the wind in the empty corridor, faintly mixed with the sound of regular heavy breathing.
Ji Xun was shirtless doing squats and squats in the morgue, while practicing some basic fighting moves.
At this moment, his body is completely different from the scrawny appearance when he first crossed over. His muscles are all tangled, like a knife and an axe.
Not only are the muscles large in dimension, but the lines are also very smooth.
My whole body was wet with sweat and seemed to be covered with a layer of oil. It looked like steel to the naked eye.
At this moment, Ji Xun was standing on his head doing one-handed presses, still counting: "197, 198, 199200!"
After counting to two hundred, he jumped up lightly and landed. On the ground.
Although [Devil's Feast] can devour corpses with extraordinary properties and bring growth to the body, without resistance training, human muscles will continue to atrophy and their strength will decrease.
Ji Xun didn’t want his talent to be wasted on laziness.
So every day he gives himself time to plan training.
His temperament can endure loneliness, and he has become a practicing madman.
However, as soon as his feet landed on the ground, even if he deliberately controlled them, the footsteps were extremely heavy.
A "boom" sound.
It sounded like a heavy object falling to the ground.
Looking carefully, Ji Xun also had a heavy iron belt tied around his waist and iron blocks on his feet.
The weight of this body has exceeded two hundred kilograms.
But almost every day or two, one or twenty kilograms are added.
The body collectors have been on duty very frequently recently, and their training time is completely insufficient. You can only increase the weight and use intensity to reduce training time to achieve the ideal training effect as much as possible.
The Frost Knight's loot previously contained a large number of high-end physical training recovery potions, which also brought great help to Ji Xun.
Even with high-intensity training, there are no hidden dangers left in the physical body.
Just like this boring training day after day, the attribute dimensions are also increasing visibly to the naked eye.
Having been devoured by the Devil's Feast again, his attributes are now completely different from those half a month ago.
「Ji Xun」
Strength: 4.92
Physique: 4.77
Agility: 4.12
Toughness: 4.02
Spirit: 6.11
Power: 1554
Halo: The Gambler
Elemental affinity: Dark 33/Light 9/Earth 11/Wind 8/Water 16/Fire 11/Thunder 3/Wood 4
Skills: [Devil's Feast Lv1 (101/2000)], [Shadow Stealth Lv1 (13/500)], [Advanced Firearms Specialization (1566/3000)]
[Golden Breathing Technique Fragment Lv1 (233/800)], [Basic Qigong Specialization Lv2 (99/300)] , [Elementary Fighting Specialty Lv2 (57/300)]
Before the maze of the cemetery, Ji Xun's strength and attributes were only about 3.
Equivalent to a katui of the medium melee type.
But now, all the data are close to 5, and some high-level card students are only at this level.
This exaggerated increase can also be attributed to the third-level Frost Knight captain who was devoured in the maze before, as well as the high-quality customers that the morgue received during this period.
And it’s not just the physical values that have changed!
The mantra value has reached an astonishing "1554" due to the blessing of [Spelling Clay Pot] and daily meditation and penance.
This is already similar to the sixth or seventh stage of practicing ordinary breathing techniques.
But according to the Golden Fragments, he is only in the second stage of his career.
After all, I have only practiced the formula to the second level.
If this exaggerated value and improvement speed were known to others, no one would dare to believe it.
Then there are various skills, including breathing, fighting, and Qigong proficiency, which have been steadily improved.
The increase in combat power is visible to the naked eye.
He can easily jump up high walls, crush red bricks with his bare hands, and use hard qigong to defend against ordinary slashing and stabbings
This kind of ability that was considered superhuman in his previous life can now be accomplished with ease.
Ji Xun felt that he was in great condition.
He even felt that if his body continued to grow like this, he might not be able to work for long before the identity of "Ji San" would disappear again, and then he would come back with a new identity.
This is just the beginning. The breathing method of the fragment is only at the second level, and the physical attributes are still far from the upper limit of the card master apprentice. There is a lot of room for improvement in the future.
No matter what kind of chaos the Innocence City is now, he has no interest in getting involved. He will wait in the morgue until he can't be promoted.
Having not transferred to a formal spell card master, in today's innocent city, he can only be used as cannon fodder.
After finishing one set of presses and resting for a moment, Ji Xun was about to change his hand to do another set.
However, at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the communication copper tube on the wall: "Team 5, we are on a mission!"
Ji Xun was used to listening.
The frequency of tasks these days is already very high, and exercise is often interrupted.
He quickly took off the weight on his body and stuffed it into the storage ring.
He wanted to carry the weight with him, but if he really weighed several hundred kilograms and sat on the corpse collector's antique steam truck, it would be easy for people to notice something unusual.
After wiping off his sweat and putting on his clothes, Ji Xun quickly went upstairs with the toolbox, jumped into the truck that had started on the street, and sped away on the street.
