Chapter 85 Mystic Worldview and the Origin of Experience Points

"Oh, right, Wolf, you're still injured. Here, take this." Jiulang didn't dwell on why the wolf's behavior was somewhat different from before.

As long as this person remains his wolf, remains the ninja willing to risk his life for him, nothing else matters.

He took a small gourd from the shelf and presented it to Fang Qingzhou with both hands.

"This is a medicine gourd made by a disciple of the divine physician Dao Xuan. The medicine inside will flow out on its own over time."

Fang Qingzhou immediately took the gourd; it was the most important item in the game.

Without the slightest hesitation, he opened the gourd and took a sip; the slightly bitter medicine filled his mouth.

The taste was like the essence of dozens of unknown herbs simmered for countless days and nights, so bitter that he involuntarily frowned.

But the next moment he felt a strange warm current spreading from his stomach to his whole body. Wherever this warm current passed, the wounds that were still stinging and aching began to return to normal.

"This effect is just as good as the Umbrella Corporation's medicine!" Fang Qingzhou stretched his shoulders, feeling the lightness in his body, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again.

Umbrella Corporation is a cutting-edge technology giant that has been a world leader in biomedicine for an entire era, so it's reasonable that they could produce a miracle drug like emergency spray.

However, Sekiro's world is set in ancient Japan's Sengoku period, hundreds of years ago, so a drug with such an effect is simply outrageous.

However, Fang Qingzhou soon remembered something else.

In the game, the gourd of healing items is replenished by sitting in front of a Buddha statue, which is a save point. The gourd will automatically be full after each rest in front of the Buddha statue.

But based on his experience in the Resident Evil world, there are no save points in this real world. Every save is actually the system pulling him directly back to the real world from that point in time.

So here's the question: how exactly does this healing gourd replenish health? Does it mean that you can only use this gourd once per chapter in the Sekiro world, and it will automatically replenish itself the next time you enter the world?

Or is it true that, as Jiulang said, the potion inside will automatically regenerate at a fixed rate over time?

If it's the latter, then this thing can truly be called a magic weapon. "Hiss—" Fang Qingzhou gasped.

If this gourd truly possesses the ability to automatically regenerate potions, then the power system of the Sekiro world is likely far more complex than he had previously anticipated.

This is just the beginning, and the support item is already this overpowered. What level will the real combat skills, ninjutsu, prosthetic tools, and the power wielded by the BOSS-level enemies be?

If he could, he would actually prefer to obtain the power system of the Sekiro world rather than the way of gaining superpowers by injecting himself with a virus, as in the Resident Evil world.

Injecting viruses always carries risks; the mutations of T-viruses and G-viruses are simply too uncontrollable.

Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that the power system in the Sekiro world is strong enough.

If the top bosses in Sekiro's world are not even as strong as the Tyrant, then he would look down on them.

Although the Tyrant is powerful, it is ultimately just one of the bioweapons mass-produced by the Umbrella Corporation, and is nothing more than a large cannon fodder in the face of higher-level threats.

If the strongest being in the Sekiro world can't even defeat a Tyrant, then the meaning of all the effort he puts into fighting his way through this world is greatly diminished.

"I want to leave Ashina Castle now. There's a secret passage under the bridge along the moat that leads out of the castle. Please find that passage first. Once you find it, you can use the reed flute to signal me. Thank you, Wolf." Kuro said to Fang Qingzhou, even bowing slightly, showing no airs of a host.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Fang Qingzhou ruffled Jiulang's soft, long hair again. He couldn't wait to explore this magical world and see if he could obtain some powerful supernatural abilities.

After removing his hand from Jiulang's head, Fang Qingzhou eagerly opened the door of Wangyue Tower.

There was a warrior standing with his back to the door. Fang Qingzhou didn't rush up to him foolishly, but crouched down and slowly approached.

He's a ninja now, so of course he has to kill enemies in a ninja way. As he got closer, Fang Qingzhou seemed to see a red dot on the samurai with his back turned.

No, it wasn't an actual red dot, but rather an instinctive feeling stemming from this body's ninja psyche.

His eyes didn't see any markings, but his brain and muscles clearly sensed that the defenses at that location were fully open, and the enemy's attention was focused on the front, leaving the vital area at the back of his neck completely exposed.

His intuition told him that as long as he attacked that weakness, he could kill the enemy in one blow.

Fang Qingzhou held his breath, pulled out the wedge-shaped pill, and then stabbed it with his knife.

The blade precisely pierced the most vulnerable gap between the samurai's nape and skull, penetrating the spinal cord. At the same time, he instinctively used his other hand to tightly cover the samurai's mouth from behind.

Without a sound, the samurai died by his blade, without even having time to utter a scream.

When he pulled the wedge-shaped blade from the back of the samurai's neck, warm blood gushed from the wound, splattering all over his face.

Fang Qingzhou was stunned. He felt the warmth on his face gradually cooling down and suddenly realized that this was probably the first time he had actually killed someone.

He had previously killed zombies and other bio-weapons, whose blood was cold. This was the first time warm blood had splattered on his face.

However, he was only stunned for a moment. After killing so many zombies, his heart had turned cold. It was impossible for him to be as at a loss as other newbies who were killing for the first time.

However, in that brief moment of distraction, another samurai on patrol below smelled the blood, looked up, and spotted him.

"Who goes there?!" The warrior immediately drew his sword and charged towards Fang Qingzhou.

Fang Qingzhou also wanted to test the strength of these warriors, so he also charged forward with his sword.

The two samurai swords clashed, producing a metallic clang like striking iron, while a string of sparks exploded in the night, briefly illuminating their faces.

Fang Qingzhou was somewhat surprised; the warrior's strength was even greater than he had anticipated.

He originally thought that this ninja body, which had been rigorously trained since childhood, should be able to easily crush an ordinary soldier in terms of strength, but the recoil force transmitted from the blade told him that the opponent's strength was not much inferior to his.

Moreover, his swordsmanship was not weak, clearly indicating that he had received rigorous training. This ordinary soldier from Ashina Castle was actually more skilled than two Raccoon City SWAT officers; in the real world, he could be considered a master swordsman.

Although Fang Qingzhou's basic fighting skills were withheld by the system and not brought into this world, his related fighting experience and combat awareness were still completely preserved in his mind. He just lacked the numerical bonuses and passive effects given by the skill system.

With these memories as a foundation, coupled with the muscular instincts etched into his battle-hardened wolf body, his current strength is even greater than in the real world.

His wrist instinctively flipped at the moment the blade collided with the sword again and transmitted the recoil force. The edge of the blade slid down the back of the katana in the samurai's hand and slashed towards the opponent's fingers holding the sword with a piercing metallic scraping sound.

The foot soldier screamed as three fingers on his right hand were severed at the root, and the katana fell from his hand, bouncing twice on the ground.

He staggered backward, clutching his hand, but before he could take two steps back, Fang Qingzhou's wedge-shaped pill had already pierced his throat.

Fang Qingzhou drew his sword, but did not shake off the blood droplets. His gaze remained fixed on the corpse of the warrior in front of him. At this moment, a ball of blue ghost fire floated above the corpse. Not only was it on this corpse, but it was also on the corpse of the warrior he had killed earlier.

"What are these things?" Fang Qingzhou couldn't figure out what those two blue will-o'-the-wisps were.

It was the first time he had ever seen will-o'-the-wisps. He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should touch the two will-o'-the-wisps, but the next moment the two will-o'-the-wisps flew directly towards him.

Fang Qingzhou originally wanted to dodge, but the two balls of ghost fire actually entered his chest directly. However, instead of the burning sensation he expected, he felt a cool sensation.

Then, as if watching a movie, he saw the two samurai he had just killed forging their swords. As those scenes played, his understanding of samurai swords seemed to deepen.

However, the screen quickly disappeared, replaced by a system notification sound.

[Defeat 2 ordinary samurai, gain 50 experience points]

"System, you're finally alive?" Fang Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the system's notification. The system had suddenly gone offline earlier, preventing him from even opening the attribute panel.

Although he often cursed the damn system, in critical moments, the system was the only thing he could rely on.

"What were those scenes just now?" Fang Qingzhou continued to ask, his intuition telling him that those scenes were not simple.

[Those are skill memories. Normally, the system converts those memories into pure experience points. However, since our family is in a mystical world, the system was previously in sci-fi mode, and the conversion caused some lag, but it has now been restored.]

Fang Qingzhou was stunned. He hadn't expected that the two balls of ghost fire were the experience points he used to upgrade his skills.

"So, this is how I gain experience points in the Resident Evil universe?"

[The soul in the science fiction aspect cannot be manifested; it is forcibly extracted from the corpse by this system.]

Hearing this, Fang Qingzhou understood the importance of the system even more. Without the system on the technology side, he would have no way to gain experience points.

While the mystical side can acquire skill memories, without a systematic filtering, they can only acquire unfamiliar and unpredictable skills. Absorbing too many skills can also affect the brain and may lead to personality splitting.

Looks like I should refrain from cursing this damn system too much in the future.
