Chapter 69 Good things shouldn't be kept to oneself
As night deepened, the thin mist in the swamp seemed to flow slowly as if it were alive, cutting the glow of the candlelight into fragments.
The damp, cold air makes it difficult to sleep even when you're hiding in your car.
This is a completely different experience from the harsh cold of the snowfield.
Xu Si leaned back in the driver's seat of the "Messenger of Molten Wax," his gaze falling through the car window onto the deathly darkness shrouded in mist.
He held a half-empty bottle of water in his hand, and after much thought, he still couldn't resist the urge to improve his strength.
This swamp didn't feel any safer to him than the snowfield.
Although he was already Sequence 2.
But as his sequence progressed, he sensed more and more danger.
All fear stems from a lack of strength.
"Let's do it!"
So what if it hurts a little? Pain is pleasure, and pleasure is pain!
The more he's pampered, the more he enjoys it!
"System, upgrade the sequence enhancement potion!"
[Item found: 375ml of drinking water]
[Upgrade and Adaptation Option 1: Requires 1300 Purification Points to upgrade to Sequence Enhancement Potion (Universal)]
[Upgrade and Adaptation Option 2: Cost 2100 Purification Points to upgrade to Sequence Enhancement Potion (General Type II)]
[Upgrade?]
"Huh? A new product? General Purpose Type II? That sounds awesome!"
Come on!
He wanted to see just how exhilarating it was!
"Yes! Upgrade Plan 2!"
Xu Si practically spat out these words through gritted teeth.
Suffering for a moment is pleasurable, but suffering continuously is pleasurable.
Xu Si felt that he seemed to have developed some kind of bad letter tendency.
[Purification Points -2100, Remaining Purification Points: 4800]
[Item being upgraded...]
Xu Si watched helplessly as the half-bottle of water in his hand was replaced in a few breaths by a viscous liquid that appeared out of nowhere, shimmering with dangerous silver light and blood-red threads.
It's like a chemical experiment.
This "General Type II" potion looks even more ferocious than the previous light blue potion. Its silver base is like liquid metal, and the blood-red threads wrapped around it seem to writhe as if they are alive, emitting a heart-pounding energy fluctuation.
Just by holding the bottle, Xu Si could even feel a slight stinging and tingling sensation in his fingertips.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, trying to calm his racing heartbeat.
"Come on! Cheers! Let's treat it like drinking cola!"
Without hesitation, he unscrewed the cap, tilted his head back, and poured the entire bottle of medicine down his throat!
"Well--!"
The moment the medicine went down my throat, it wasn't the burning sensation I had imagined, but rather an extreme, almost soul-freezing cold!
Immediately afterwards, the icy coldness exploded, transforming into millions of red-hot steel needles that surged wildly from his throat toward his limbs and bones.
The excruciating pain, several times more intense than the first time, overwhelmed him like a tsunami!
What's even more terrifying is that the pain was so intense that he couldn't make a sound.
This time, it wasn't just his muscles and bones; he felt his blood, nerves, and even every cell were being forcibly torn apart and shattered, only to be forcibly blended and reshaped by an even more domineering and purer energy!
"Heh...heh..."
A hissing sound, like a broken bellows, came from his throat, and his muscles began to spasm violently. The intense pain made it difficult for him to even turn over in the driver's seat.
On the surface of her skin, pale silver starlight burst forth uncontrollably, clashing fiercely with the violent medicinal power within her body, yet subtly merging together.
The bloodshot glint in his eyes flickered like two will-o'-the-wisps.
Xu Si's consciousness was consumed by pain; he couldn't even feel his body, or rather, his body was completely out of his control.
broken……
The "Ice Heart" fused within his body was now uncontrollably beginning to freeze his body.
Not only that, but wisps of cold air seeped from his body, condensing into thick frost on the inside of the car window.
Within Xu Si's body, cold and heat, destruction and rebirth engaged in a fierce tug-of-war.
He clenched his teeth, his gums even bleeding, and a salty, fishy taste filled his mouth.
screwed up!
The energy transmitted from the star anchor attempted to guide this raging energy, but the effect was minimal, barely managing to preserve a sliver of clarity in his mind, preventing him from being completely consumed by the pain.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly at that moment.
Every second felt like torture in purgatory.
Time passed, and the excruciating pain that could drive one mad began to recede slowly like the tide, replaced by an indescribable sense of fulfillment and power, as if every cell in the body was leaping with joy.
He slumped in the driver's seat, his whole body soaked in sweat as if he had been pulled out of the water, breathing rapidly, his eyes somewhat unfocused.
He immediately reached out, and Bingxin appeared in his palm, which he then tossed onto the passenger seat floor mat.
You almost got me killed!
He rested in the driver's seat for an unknown amount of time before his breathing gradually stabilized.
Feeling the energy within my body surge like a mighty river, far purer and more refined than before.
He's already gone at least halfway down the path to Sequence 2. One more shot and he might just reach the barrier of Sequence 2. But if he had to endure that kind of pain again in a short period of time, he might really be gone.
Let's wait until the potion's effects are completely worn off before making any further moves!
Damn, my body needs time to recover too!
Which bastard invented this enhancement drug? Couldn't it have been a little gentler?
If he hadn't retained the last shred of clarity in his mind, he might have suffered a mental breakdown.
If used for interrogation, very few people could withstand it.
But it was all worth it!
Although the process was excruciating, the results were definitely worth the 2100 purification points and the inhuman suffering he had just endured.
As Xing Tong opened his eyes, the world in his field of vision became clearer, and he could even detect the movement of those faint energy particles in the air.
The range of perception of "star trails" seems to have expanded, and the predicted trajectory lines are clearer.
After reabsorbing "Ice Heart" into the body, the ice crystals became as easy to control as an extension of the body, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
I've learned my lesson this time. Next time I take this stuff, I'll definitely unload all the strange items first, or it'll be a real disaster.
Xu Si leaned back in the driver's seat, feeling the transformative changes within his body, still feeling lingering fear.
Outside the car window, the night in the swamp was so thick it seemed impossible to break through, and the fog seemed even heavier than before, blurring the outlines of other vehicles not far away.
The candles had long since gone out, and the convoy was completely silent.
Xu Si adjusted his posture, preparing to continue activating the Stargazer Sequence to consolidate the power he had just strengthened, while also keeping watch.
Anyway, he wasn't sleepy for a while; the pain was excruciating.
"This is great stuff, I can't keep it all to myself!"
"When we can spend the purification points freely, we should let the brothers and sisters in the convoy enjoy themselves!"
As he thought about it, Xu Si almost burst out laughing.
