Chapter 84 Discussion on Shadow Evolution and Universal Skills

Xia Shou thought for a while and considered asking a few more questions. After all, the notebook was like a skill. After the cooldown, you could use two pages. If you didn't use it, you would still only be able to read two pages after a while.

Therefore, once the rote notes are usable, use them as soon as possible to maximize their value.

Xia Shou continued to write in his notebook: [You must know what a shadow is, right? ]

[You can think of it as something like a golden finger.]

Besides, can't you ask some valuable questions? There is no point in asking such inquiring questions. You can ask me "Why did you summon me?"

"Am I trying to use you, or is there some conspiracy?"

Suspicions like this could be endless, but I could also lie, as you should know after checking the files.

So don’t dwell on questions that have no meaning at the moment, as the two pages of reading will be gone very quickly.

I have only one goal - to help you survive and become stronger.

As for why I have such a purpose, you will know it yourself in the end. 】

Xia Shou pondered for a moment and wrote: [Is there a way to increase the speed of swallowing shadows? ]

Today, when he was devouring the headless body of the man in the black jacket in the bathroom of the bar, he thought about the speed of devouring.

Although under normal circumstances, the speed of swallowing does not affect anything, but once it comes to the critical moment, it will be a big problem.

For example, when he was devouring the mysterious charred corpse in the Blood Demon's House, the pressure of devouring was too great, causing his whole body to become unable to move. He couldn't even stop devouring, and could only be slaughtered.

Moreover, the stronger the corpse, the slower it devours. He does not always have the opportunity to have a few hours to devour the corpse, so it is necessary to increase the devouring speed.

【Finally, a good question. 】

Words began to emerge rapidly from the notes.

[It's very simple, just use the residue and skills to nourish the shadow.

Of course, it should be noted that the improvement in Black Shadow's chewing and digestion abilities is irreversible. Once he becomes good at eating, he will no longer chew slowly. Food that is too low-level will not be able to be transformed into skills, but will directly become residue.

You should have discovered long ago that the corpse of a first-level extraordinary person will only become a one-time consumable skill, and only residue will be left after use. Only a second-level extraordinary person will obtain permanent skills.

Once the shadow's digestive ability becomes stronger, even if you devour a Level 2 Transcendent, you may not be able to obtain permanent skills. 】

"Tsk! Isn't this an epic nerf?" Xia Shou frowned.

[Of course, there are definitely benefits to Black Shadow becoming stronger, not just the increase in devouring speed.

You should have found that you have many skills that consume deep potential, right? For example, [Reaching the pinnacle in no one's place], and [Stop the wound with blood] before fusion.

These skills are the type that will always be effective. Even if you are facing a monster with an abnormality level of 100, as long as you activate [Reach the Pinnacle in No One], you can still cause effective damage to such an opponent with a huge difference in strength.

The most important thing is whether you can pay the price, that is, the diving value.

If you use the Pinnacle skill against a first-level transcendent, you may only need to sink a few meters. However, if you use the Pinnacle skill against an extremely high-level opponent, it may take several thousand meters. This sinking distance is tantamount to suicide.

This skill, which directly uses the diving value of the Sea of ​​Origin as the price to pay, is called a universal skill.

What this means is that as long as you can pay enough, it will work no matter what, because the power it draws is the Sea of ​​Origin itself, and you are just the extraction device in the middle.

As long as your pumping device is not broken, such a large amount of water can be pumped out from the sea.

After reading this example, I can tell you the necessity of increasing the power of the shadow.

In simple terms, the stronger the shadow is, the more efficient you are in extracting power from the Sea of ​​Origin. Now, if you use the Peak of the Peak on the Blood Demon, you may have to sink a hundred meters, but if your shadow becomes stronger, then maybe you only need to sink fifty meters.

This not only saves you precious "depth", but also indirectly increases the level of the enemies you can deal with. If you only have a depth of one hundred meters, then an efficient pumping device can undoubtedly help you pump out more seawater.

Therefore, whether or not to let Sombra evolve is entirely up to you.

If you just keep satisfying Shadow's appetite, the skills you should have acquired may become residue.

But if you keep it hungry, many versatile skills will become costly or even impossible to use.

The balance between these two needs to be controlled by you. 】

Xia Shou frowned and wrote: [Such an important matter, why didn't you say it earlier? 】

[Okay, next time you become a notebook, you can summon the time traveler and write this kind of thing on the first page. Then you can also give him a resentful spirit like Alice, so that he will die as soon as he turns his head after he finishes traveling through time and reading the instructions.]

After reading this line, Xia Shou became extremely annoyed.

This irresponsible note actually dared to be sarcastic to him, without even considering who dragged an innocent high school student to such a hellish place to suffer!
Xia Shou resisted the urge to swear, closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Huh - calm down. There's no point getting angry with a notebook. It's just a waste of paper. Precious pages shouldn't be used to display my language art."

He calmed down and closed his notebook.

Saving paper is everyone's responsibility. I don't have any key questions to ask for now.

"However, I finally got some key information. Skills that directly use the diving value as a cost are all-purpose skills... In other words, they turn the skill holder into a water pump for the Sea of ​​Origin."

If you think in this way, the greater the degree to which a skill modifies reality, the more Dive Points are required.

It seems that having five skills all the time is not necessarily a good thing. The more skills you refresh when you reach the pinnacle, the more Dive Points you will consume.

Therefore, you must keep improving the skills you possess.

"Speaking of which, it's time for the fusion ceremony again."

After devouring Black Jacket and a group of his minions, Xia Shou gained a lot more skills.

But because the skills given to him by other minions were all very rubbish, almost completely useless and funny skills, Xia Shou decisively broke them down into residues at that time to avoid wasting depth.

Now, the number of skills he has is six.

Xia Shou's mind moved, and relevant information about the new skill appeared in the center of his vision.

【substitute】

[Introduction: Is there anyone willing to die for you? If so, that would be great, but I hope he won't change his mind at the last minute.]

[Effect: If someone is willing to be your substitute, you can transfer the injuries on your body to the substitute.

The severity of the injury you can transfer depends on how much the other person is willing to bear for you.

In addition, the substitute can terminate the substitute relationship at any time.

(The stand's abnormal level cannot be higher than yours, and the upper limit of the number of bindings is one, and you cannot actively cancel it)]

[Price: When the Stand terminates the relationship, the Stand can transfer the injuries on its body to you to any extent.]

"This skill is quite interesting."
