Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 7 Yuanli Furnace, 99% Conversion Rate!
Without any hesitation, I continued to choose free mutation!
A few minutes later, a tingling sensation came from the flesh and blood beneath the skin, followed by a sudden tightness throughout the body. All the pores opened, the hairs stood on end, and even strands of electricity could be seen flowing through the skin!
Soon, a ding-dong sound reached my ears.

[Congratulations! You have acquired the SS-level gene enhancement skill "Bio-Electromagnetic Pulse": Greatly enhances cells, enabling them to generate powerful electromagnetic pulses that can interfere with electronic devices within a 1-kilometer radius and have a very high chance of directly damaging them. Cooldown time: 60 minutes.]

……

"Holy crap, really?"

I was overjoyed. I had actually won the grand prize! The limit of Pandora's Solution is SS-level enhancement skill, which is a grand prize with only a 1% chance of winning. And it just happened to fall on me like this.

Bio-electromagnetic pulse, a skill that sounds incredibly cool. Once a pulse is generated, it can paralyze electronic networks within a 1-kilometer radius. Moreover, the cooldown time for this skill is not too long; it can be used once an hour, making it a great value for money!
For a moment, I was overjoyed. If the chance of successfully escaping was 50% before, then with the advent of this skill, that probability has increased to at least 80%!

After all, the Dark Tide Base called "Iron Blood Training Camp" beneath the Dead Mine is densely packed with electronic grids, and most of the machines have electronic components. A single electromagnetic pulse is enough to paralyze more than 90% of the defenses here. In addition, with my left hand and I upgrading the Awakening Elemental Furnace together, the chances of escaping from the jaws of death have greatly increased!

I quickly calmed down.

There are still many challenges ahead. First, I need to keep it from Instructor Lakuri's eyes. Otherwise, once he finds out that I have awakened a bio-electromagnetic pulse, an SS-level super gene enhancement skill, he will definitely send me directly to a higher-level base of the Dark Tide organization. My future may be even more severe than Puff's!

An hour later, two guards came in and pushed me, who appeared unchanged, into the electric shock room.

"Why is there still no movement?"

Instructor Lakuri's face twisted in anger as he roared, "You piece of trash! Three injections of precious Pandora solution and you haven't improved at all! Men, give him a good shock!"

"Yes, Instructor!"

Two guards stepped forward and immediately began the electric shock procedure.

The next moment, a high-intensity current spread throughout the body, and the electromagnetic pulse power hidden deep within the body's cells suddenly resonated with it, crackling and seemingly about to burst forth.

'Damn, this won't do...'

I desperately tried to steady my mind and avoid switching to combat mode, while simultaneously suppressing the bio-electromagnetic pulse power within my body. For a moment, the currents inside and outside my body clashed violently.

Three minutes later, the electric shock was completed.

"Instructor Lakuri, it still hasn't worked."

The doctor in the white coat shook his head and said, "Perhaps the genes of this test subject are too stubborn, and the Pandora solution did not cause any mutations."

"Bastard thing!"

Instructor Lakuri was furious. He grabbed me from the hospital bed and slammed me onto the table next to him.

A sharp pain shot through my face and chest. At the same time, I saw Instructor Lakuri's health bar and my own health bar rapidly decreasing.

"You piece of trash, you've disappointed me so much!"

Instructor Lakuri pressed my head down with his large, iron-like hands, slamming them against the medicine, syringes, and various containers on the table before slamming me to the ground.

"147!"

The health bar dropped by more than half in an instant.

Moreover, this was under the condition that Instructor Lakuri only wanted to vent his anger and did not intend to kill.

Lying on the cold ground, I trembled all over but didn't make a sound; only the anger in my heart burned brighter and brighter.

"Instructor."

One of the guards said, "Number 033's training results are usually quite good, especially his combat record, which ranks first and second with Number 066. It would be a real pity to kill him directly."

"Humph!"

Instructor Lakuri cast a sinister glance his way and sneered, "This kind of trash... throw him into the vanguard's reserve camp tomorrow afternoon and let him fend for himself!"

"Yes!"

Two heavily armed guards escorted me back to the old warehouse, even kicking me twice in the back, which made me smile bitterly. At this point, I was probably someone anyone in the base could bully.

……

Late at night, I activated the star map.

"Sixth Brother, are you there?"

"Yes, Third Brother!"

Left Hand instantly logged on and said, "I saw you being taken into the injection room. What happened after that?"

"The situation is very bad."

I frowned. "I'll be sent to the vanguard's reserve camp tomorrow afternoon. Our plan has to be moved up, or it might be too late. What do you think?"

"I've had everything ready for a long time."

Left Hand said, "Actually, the timing is quite good. Miss Puff sent me a message saying that at 8 o'clock tonight, General Vega will lead 300 soldiers from the Grey Worm Legion to leave the Death Mine base and head to a large settlement to continue plundering experimental subjects. That settlement is very far away, and it will take at least eight hours one way!"

The biggest boss in the Deadmines is General Vega, one of the leaders of the Dark Tide. He is a genetically mutated and cyborg. It is said that more than 70% of Vega's body has been replaced by steel and alloy, and he has undergone multiple genetic enhancements, making him incredibly strong.

If he and the Grey Worm Chapter members remain at the base, it will indeed have a significant impact on our escape plans.

"Eight hours..."

I thought for a moment and said, "That's enough! Then let's take advantage of the time difference and make our move at four o'clock sharp tomorrow morning. However, if we only make our move in the old warehouse, we will be outnumbered and outgunned. It would be better to use a feint attack before we make our move, and strike when the base is short-handed."

"That's it..."

Zuo Shou pondered for a moment, then chuckled, "Would blowing up that ammunition depot on the east side of the base be enough to lure the enemy away?" "You have a way to blow it up?"

"Have."

He smiled slightly and said, "I have some trump cards up my sleeve that I haven't revealed yet."

"Row."

I nodded: "Then let's set the time to blow up the warehouse at 3:55 a.m. After things get lively over there, I will cut off all the power lines in the base. Our rooms are programmed to turn on immediately after a power outage. I will cut off the power at 4:00 a.m. sharp. After that, we will break through from two directions. The elevator will definitely be unusable. We will fight our way up through the tunnels. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, if we put them all together, they'll easily get wiped out in one fell swoop."

Zuo Shou said, "I'll go through the tunnel on the west side, and you go through the tunnel on the east side. One of us will be able to escape, and if we're lucky, we can both leave alive."

"Row."

I did not object.

"Third brother..."

Zuo Shou asked, "Are you really confident you can cut off all the power in the base instantly?"

"Have."

I smiled and said, "That's also a trump card I haven't revealed yet."

"Oh!"

Left Hand laughed heartily, "When are we going to upgrade?"

"Let's do it ten minutes earlier, at 3:50. We'll upgrade, awaken our main class and the Elemental Furnace, and then we shouldn't be detected anymore."

"Row."

"When the star map is activated, we can exchange information at any time!"

"Okay, bro, I'll listen to you!"

……

Time passed bit by bit.

Around 6 p.m., a guard brought dinner, which turned out to be leftovers, some breadcrumbs, and a chicken carcass that had been gnawed into pieces. There was also a bowl of soup that looked completely unappetizing, which the guards had most likely spiked.

"033, your deluxe meal has arrived."

The guard sneered, "You're about to go to the vanguard and live a good life, so don't complain about this last meal at our base."

I didn't say anything, I just silently took the plate.

Afterwards, despite feeling unwell, he wolfed down all the food.

I don't know when the next meal will be, so the energy this meal can provide will be especially important. As for the quality of the food, it's not even on my radar.

Time flows by, bit by bit.

Around 8 p.m., a roaring sound came from inside the base. Through the window of the old warehouse, a huge transport plane could be seen operating on the massive lift pad, its belly spewing flames as it slowly took off from the mine.

The information provided by Puff was accurate; General Vega had indeed left the base.

Therefore, among the remaining enemies in the base, the strongest is Instructor Lakuri, a level 15 BOSS, while the other group of instructors are all level 15 elite monsters, whose attack and health are completely incomparable to Instructor Lakuri.

……

I slept for a while and woke up around 3 a.m.

I sat in the old warehouse, looked at the time on my watch, frowned, and was no longer sleepy.

At this moment, my left hand must be just as nervous as I am.

Finally, around 3:50, it's time to level up!

After bringing up the character panel and confirming the upgrade, a ray of golden light shone down, filling my body with a warm feeling. At the same time, a ding-dong sound rang in my ears.

[Congratulations! You have reached level 5 and successfully unlocked your main class, 〖Starry Sky Super Weapon - Sword Specialization - Tier 1〗!]

Congratulations! You have reached level 5 and successfully awakened the [Elemental Furnace] (SS-rank)!

"what?"

I was stunned, so blinded by the golden light before my eyes that I could barely open them!

In the beta version, my Yuanli Furnace was only grade A, so how come it suddenly turned around at the launch stage?!
He hurriedly reopened the character panel and found a blazing red furnace spinning at the bottom. After confirming, the furnace transformed into a golden light that poured into his body!

Instantly, blood and qi surged within his body, and a fiery red vortex suddenly appeared at the xiphoid process on his chest, becoming a new organ in his body, replacing the xiphoid process, and began to operate continuously, converting the elemental energy in the air into the elemental power needed by the player!
At the same time, the specific attributes of the Yuanli Furnace jumped out and appeared before our eyes—

【Elemental Furnace】(SS-rank)
Rating: 1
Power: 4
Agility: 3.5
Stamina: 3
Spirit: 2.9
Conversion rate: 99%
Details: The Elemental Furnace can be upgraded by extracting experience from killing monsters. The higher the furnace's conversion rate, the faster the Elemental Power is restored per second.
……

"Om~~~"

Looking at the data in front of me, my mind went completely blank.

That's incredible luck! Absolutely incredible luck!

The conversion rate of the Yuanli Furnace is only 100% at most, but mine is as high as 99%! Isn't that second only to one person and above ten thousand others?!
