Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 33: Quality Enhancement! The Heart of a Glutton!

No new skills or equipment were purchased.

As more and more explorers reach higher levels, they have accumulated some money, and various items that enhance combat power are in high demand!

If it has even the slightest use, it will be listed and sold out instantly!

As for powerful skills and equipment, once encountered, they are generally kept to arm oneself.

The high-quality goods that meet Lingxiao's standards are no longer available on the market.

However, not buying new equipment does not mean there is no new equipment.

The refining blueprints we acquired earlier were successfully shipped out with the help of a standard-grade forging furnace!

【Iron Heart Iron Shield】

[Quality: Average]

[Conditions: Strength 4, Constitution 5; No resource consumption; No cooldown]

[Special Effect: Counterattack Power (Automatically absorbs energy when blocking attacks; the power of a shield bash is increased when used again after being converted and stored)]

[Comment: Have you had enough?! My turn! I can keep you waiting all day!]

It has a glossy black color, completely protects the forearm, and its shape is similar to the "sunflower seed shield" used by Captain America during his bearded period.

Lingxiao only made one; he didn't make a pair.

Because the tough arm guard was repaired!

[Durable Arm Guard]

[Quality: Average]

[Conditions: Strength 3, Constitution 3; Consumes 10 Stamina Points to activate; Cooldown: 10 minutes]

[Special Effect: Resilient Heart (Temporarily increases Strength and Constitution by 1 point upon activation)]

[Review: Activate it when you need to deliver a powerful blow!]

The forging furnace, after being repaired to the standard level, now has an additional "repair" function.

Damaged equipment can be restored to its original condition by simply throwing it in along with its materials!

He wore an iron-core shield on his left arm and a tough arm guard on his right arm.

With a good balance of offense and defense, Ling Xiao's [Constitution] can even reach ten points when necessary!

What a terrifying concept this is!

The torches have a countdown timer, which effectively restricts the activity area.

There was no specific destination.

Ling Xiao's next plan is to systematically explore the surrounding terrain.

While we're at it, let's also clear out the monsters that are lurking around our bed.

The lingering shadows of the divine embers have dissipated, and no one can say for sure what will happen then!

If we clean as thoroughly as possible, we can at least have fewer risks and more peace of mind in the future.

……

Stop walking.

After realizing he was surrounded, Ling Xiao pretended not to know and "patiently" waited for a while until the enemy's forces had all arrived.

A giant gray wolf, with its head and shoulders almost level with Ling Xiao's chest, emerged from the gray mist first, crawling on all fours.

Immediately following, no, eagerly emerging from all around were pairs of excited, scarlet eyes.

"Awoo!"

The wolf king was even a little taken aback!

But the excruciating pain transmitted back from its body had completely awakened its instincts and fear!

But no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.

This level 5 elite Shadow Wolf was pinned to the ground with an iron spear piercing its neck!

Its bulging, scarlet wolf eyes turned in the direction of its head as it thrashed about in pain, trying desperately to make out the demonic figure!

One by one, familiar members of the clan and their descendants fell in the gleaming white light of the butcher's knife, and the wolf king's angry howl gradually weakened and became sorrowful.

Ling Xiao showed no intention of stopping.

Although I was quite surprised that these mutants would show such emotional changes, our positions differed, and the highest respect for an enemy is to exterminate them!

"Waaah—"

The last surviving wolf cub, dragging its trembling body, charged towards Ling Xiao.

He gripped the machete in reverse, and with Ling Xiao's expressionless expression, he thrust it downwards!

Crunch!

The skull shattered, and the immense force directly turned the wolf cub's brain into mush.

At this point, only the strongest and seemingly most resilient level 5 wolf king remains in this pack of Shadow Wolves.

I thought it would take some effort to take him down, but I didn't expect that he would be unable to get up again after just one exchange!

Even Ling Xiao himself has no idea about his current strength.

They really didn't know their own strength...

The difference that comes from having a few points higher in attributes is terrifying!

Even the elite wolf king, who was also level 5 and whose talents and skills were not weak, couldn't withstand a single blow from him!

He was seriously injured but they didn't take the opportunity to kill him.

Ling Xiao decided to keep the wolf king.

He certainly has no intention of keeping a pet right now, nor does he have the perverse pleasure of letting his people witness their clansmen dying one by one.

Kill them if you will.

Torture for pleasure is something only animals do.

The reason for saving the Wolf King for last is that [Gluttonous Heart] has eaten its fill and its quality needs to be elevated!

All five of their current derivative talents are of "inferior quality" because they lack sufficient resources and their innate talents are stuck, preventing them from becoming stronger.

After crippling the wolf king's four struggling legs, Ling Xiao dragged it back to the safe zone.

The wolf king was not brought into the area illuminated by the campfire.

The latest novel is first published here!

What if I die from playing? Wouldn't that be a complete waste of my energy?

The iron spear sank back into the ground, securing the dying level 5 monster to the "cutting board," awaiting the chef's return to sharpen his knife.

"Level 5 source core...blood...should we kill this wolf now? But wait, maybe a source core from a strange species would be more effective..."

"The ingredients...are all ready! Let me see how to use this recipe!"

The recipe for the [Heart of Gluttony] exclusive talent enhancement potion transformed into a colorful ball of light after the required materials were selected.

Strange spots rippled and moved, and Ling Xiao's gaze became subtly drawn to them!

Fortunately, the light dissipated after a short while.

A bottle of equally "vibrant" liquid ripples gently in the glass, creating ever-changing waves.

Even though he knew this stuff wouldn't kill him, Ling Xiao still used his Eye of Appraisal on it.

【Gluttonous Heart Ascended Potion [Normal] (Bound)】

[Quality: Average]

【Conditions: Non-transferable; User possesses the talent [Gluttonous Heart]】

[Special Effect: After consumption, digestion is achieved, and the quality of the Gluttonous Heart is upgraded to Common; plunder efficiency and probability are increased; the upper limit of derived talents is fixed at Common.]

[Evaluation: While the vast majority of people still possess inferior innate talents, you have already embarked on a significant evolutionary stage!]

"call……"

Holding the long-awaited potion in his hands, Ling Xiao tried several times to suppress the smile on his face, but he couldn't help but smile involuntarily.

Being born into humble circumstances is not a disgrace!

Having reached this point with a completely harmless innate talent, Ling Xiao believes he is no less capable than anyone else!

Admittedly, luck played a part in the process.

But that's just icing on the cake, just accumulating "0"s!

A courageous heart is the "1" that stands at the forefront and gives value to everything!

"I never knew how to toast properly before... but now it's great, I don't have to force a smile and flatter anyone anymore."

The five fingers rubbed the cup wall.

Ling Xiao raised his glass from afar, as if gesturing to someone.

Finally, he raised his eyebrows in triumph and chuckled softly, "Then... let's toast to ourselves!"

"Let's do it!"

The thick, warm liquid slid down his throat.

The medication took effect, causing alternating chills and fever.

It wasn't just a figment of his imagination; Ling Xiao's body, including his soul, was being tormented by this extreme of ice and fire!

They didn't even have time to get angry and rebuke the explanation for not being clear.

Ling Xiao's expression changed drastically as a great leap forward was taking place in his very essence!

I don't know how much time passed, but in reality, it was less than a minute.

With each movement, beads of sweat dripped from his chin.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes; his ascension was successful!

The Gluttonous Heart has firmly and proudly reached a new level in the evolutionary progression!

Happy Qixi Festival, everyone!

I forgive you for not reading it in time today!

Of course, it would be even better if it were like the author's!

I get to read novels and watch me, the clown, too!
