The origin of doom

Chapter 542 Three Choices
Henry smiled and said, "Next, I will reward you personally. How about changing your job to a day shift?"

My eyes lit up and I nodded again and again.

This reward is great, if Ning Rou and I are both on day shift, we can meet each other at night, and we don't have to suffer from lovesickness anymore.

But if you want to switch shifts, another person must agree to switch with me. Myron stood up and said that he is willing to switch with me, because he taught the 199 squadron a lesson in Katrina City and helped his teammates vent their anger. That's why I'm willing to switch with me.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if no one trades with me, I can still trade with Yujia and Stupid Bird. . .

When Ningrou came home in the evening, as soon as I opened the door, I handed over a bouquet of flowers. She was very pleasantly surprised and asked, "Xiaolong, are you resting today?"

I shook my head.

"Could it be...are you absent from work?"

I hugged her in my arms: "What are you thinking? I made a meritorious service this time, and old Henry helped me change to the day shift. From now on, we can be together every night."

"Great! I heard from Yujia that many things happened in Katrina this time. I want to hear you tell it again."

While Ning Rou was cooking, I was talking about this incident. At this moment, the communicator suddenly vibrated. I pressed the answer button, and beams of light shot out from the communicator, forming a three-dimensional projection in front of me.

It's fellow Taoist Qingyang, with an excited look on his face: "Brother...huh? Sister-in-law is here too."

Ning Rou greeted with a smile.

I asked: "Qingyang, seeing you smiling so happily, is there any happy event?"

"Yeah brother, Cosmo is here today. He didn't forget about the gift, so he provided three choices. You can choose one of the following three treasures. Remember, this is a multiple-choice question, not many. Choose a topic." As he spoke, Fellow Daoist Qingyang held up a small blackboard with three options written crookedly in Nether language.

First: the corpse of the fourth-level monster 'Fire Gryphon'.Eating the flesh and blood of high-level monsters can quickly increase strength without side effects.

Second: Requiem jade bracelet.This is a bracelet made of 'Requiem Jade', which has the effect of warming and nourishing the soul.

Third: Dracaena.There is a 10% chance of repairing mental trauma, but the dragon's blood herbal medicine is violent, and if it fails, it will burn itself to death.

After reading the three options, I said without hesitation: "Is there still a choice? I want the requiem jade bracelet!"

Fellow Daoist Qingyang said with a serious expression, "Brother, I'm afraid this won't work."

"why?"

"Because I finished choosing for you."

Then you let me choose!
Suddenly, my complexion changed: "Wait, what did you choose for me?"

Fellow Daoist Qingyang put down the small blackboard, and took out a fiery red grass: "Brother, I know that your mental power is impaired, so I helped you choose the dragon's blood grass."

I was so angry that I almost dropped the communicator!
I just said, after he successfully got the list last time, why didn't there be a huge pit incident?It turned out to be waiting here!Even if you choose the flesh and blood of a fourth-level monster!The Dragon Blood Grass has only a 10% chance of success, and vice versa, it has a 90% chance of failure!Isn't this driving me to death?

My face was so gloomy that I could drip water: "You go to Cosmo now and replace the dragon's blood grass with a requiem jade bracelet."

"I can't, big brother, Cosmo blocked the whole city during the celebration for personal reasons, and he has already been dismissed."

"Don't you have his communicator number?"

"No, the communicator has been confiscated."

Forget it, although Qingyang tricked me, it's still better than nothing.

In fact, what I want most is the requiem jade bracelet. Since it can nourish the soul, it must be good for Ning Rou, which is a pity. . .

……

Two days later.

The little prince who solved the case and the courier specially asked for leave and sent the dragon's blood grass.

But I'm stuck again because there's a 90% chance this thing will fail.

In the past two days, I have checked the information. Dracaena: It is cultivated with dragon's blood, but the energy of dragon's blood is too strong, resulting in a very low survival rate of this plant, so the price of each plant is more than 500 million.

500 million, which is equivalent to the price of 5 fifth-level demon pills!It is also the sum of my salary for 25 years.

However, this thing does have the effect of restoring mental strength, but the success rate is too low. According to the data, one unlucky person succeeded after eating 97 plants, and he was heavily in debt from Wanguan's family property.

And every time it fails, it needs to be replaced with a new artificial body, because if it fails, the dragon's blood grass will burn the body to ashes.

So I'm torn.

If it fails, not only will there be no medicinal effect, but the body will also be damaged. I don't want to change to an artificial body.

However, I myself have the fire attribute, plus the power of life, maybe my body will not be damaged. . .

In the evening, I discussed it with Ning Rou carefully, and decided to try it, what if it succeeds?

When the mental power recovers, my strength will also recover. The combat power should reach level six, and then I can find ways to earn more money and help Ningrou heal her soul.

Stuffing the dragon's blood grass into my mouth, it was bitter and spicy. I swallowed it without chewing a few mouthfuls. It was spicy from my throat to my stomach!

Soon, a strange burning sensation flooded my whole body, and I was sweating profusely. I felt that force was eroding every cell. Is this a sign of failure?I hurriedly merged the hidden energy of the fire with the true energy of the flame, and my whole body turned into flames!Instantly turned into Pyro, trying to drive that force out.

Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect, and the power increased instead of diminishing!The flames on my body became more vigorous!
How is this going?If I don't drive out that force, my body will be burned to ashes when I return to my original state!
……

2 minute later.

The situation has not eased in the slightest, the flames on my body are extremely strong!And the flaming time can only last for 3 minutes!

Just when I was extremely anxious, the dormant vitality suddenly fluctuated.Immediately afterwards, another strange energy appeared from the stomach, rushed directly into the mind, and quickly restored the mental power!
I know, there are two strands of energy in the dragon's blood grass, one can restore mental power, representing 'life'; the other can burn the body, representing 'death', and the former is difficult to activate.

But for some reason just now, the inexplicable fluctuation of the power of life activated the energy of 'life'. . .

After 1 minute, the mental trauma was completely healed!
The scorching energy was eroding the cells of my whole body, but now it receded like a tide, and all of them gathered at the shoulders, and merged with the hidden energy of the fire, and the hidden energy of the fire instantly expanded dozens of times!
Unexpectedly, by chance and coincidence, all the two strands of energy in the dragon's blood grass were absorbed!
Since the hidden fire energy has just been activated recently, it was originally very weak, but now it surpasses the power of life and death!

The strength has not only returned to its heyday, but has also been greatly improved. I have a feeling that if you are singled out, you should be able to beat Yujia and Stupid Bird!
So, I'm going to try them now. . .
