Doomsday Highway: I can be infinitely enhanced

Su Xing curiously opened the box and saw a clump of special materials inside.

It is as thin as gauze, and entirely black, like a personified shadow of Tao.

It's like a dough ball that's been kneaded into a funny face, but it lacks any quality.

With just one glance, Su Xing felt a strong sense of malice and resentment, as if they were groaning in his ear.

If he really had to describe it, Su Xing felt it was somewhat like an item from the game "Famine" he had played in his previous life.

The "Nightmare Material" that drops after killing the sanity monster.

(See image below)

"Careful! Don't touch it with your hands!"

Hu Dong quickly reminded him.

Su Xing nodded slightly, his gaze focused on the clump of materials.

Suddenly, a narrator's voice rang in my ears:

[You've obtained your first rare item. While it's not exactly a great item, it's not bad for your current situation.]

[If you're willing to spend 100 points on a negative emotion assessment, you might be able to get detailed information about this thing?]

"Wow, they even charge for authentication?"

Su Xing immediately became interested and glanced at his panel.

[Top Human: Awakening]

Occupation: None

[Status: Lethargic, hungry]

[Skills: Extraordinary Recovery (Beginner), Extraordinary Strength (Beginner), Extraordinary Speed ​​(Beginner)]

[Anomaly: Unstable Rune Pistol]

[Positive Emotional Points: 10086]

[Negative Emotion Points: 4503]

"There are so many emotional moments!"

Su Xing was startled. He scrolled up and realized that he had gained quite a few emotion points while he was unconscious.

The majority of these were positive emotions, providing a total of over five thousand!

The reason, of course, is Su Xing's outstanding performance in battle.

He killed the headless monster with his own hands!

The people in the convoy were genuinely grateful to Su Xing for saving their lives, and each person contributed dozens of points of positive emotion on average.

"That was a huge windfall! Looks like I can really focus on strengthening my character now..."

Su Xing felt a slight joy, but he still decided to first appraise the strange object in front of him.

[100 Negative Emotion Points Spent, 4403 Negative Emotion Points Remaining, Appraising Rare Item Materials...]

[You now know the specific information about the rare material "Headless Corpse Soul".]

Soon, several lines of information appeared before Su Xing's eyes.

【Item Name: The Corpse of the Headless Ghost】

[Item Type: Common Rare Item Material]

[Item Source: There is a chance to obtain this item after defeating the eerie "Headless Ghost".]

[Evaluation: This is something dropped by an ordinary headless ghost after its death. How valuable do you think it could be? Of course, it's an excellent tonic for corpse-type ghosts. Furthermore, if you wish, you can use this rare item as a base to enhance your body or other items.]

The specific enhancements are as follows:

[Enhancement Direction 1: Physical Enhancement, based on the Corpse Soul, to unlock the opportunity for the Awakening Sequence. You will have a 50% chance of awakening the special combat sequence "Corpse Demon," but if the awakening fails, you will be completely transformed into the abnormal "Corpse Demon."]

[Corpse Monster Sequence: Special Combat Sequence.]

[Ability 1: Abandoning the physical body, one can "resurrect" in any corpse, but each resurrection will result in the loss of a certain amount of one's original essence. Ability 2: Corpse control, you can control all corpses, each possessing 80% of its original strength; the control limit is related to one's original essence. Ability 3: Physical immunity, when you exist in your true form, you are immune to most physical damage.]

[Cost 1: After becoming a corpse spirit, you will lose most of your emotions and sense of taste. Cost 2: You will be afraid of things that restrain the supernatural, such as fire and sunlight. Cost 3: You will need to change the corpse you possess periodically.]

[Effective requirement: 10000 points of positive emotion.]

As expected of information obtained by spending 100 emotion points, it's incredibly complete!

When Su Xing saw the specific effects of the strange material, he was even more surprised.

These extraordinary materials can actually help awaken and realize true extraordinary sequences!

His heart pounded as he awoke, but when he saw the specific sequence of awakening, he couldn't help but frown.

"The price is far too high!"

"Loss of emotion and taste, fear of sunlight, regular replacement of corpses... how is this any different from a real ghost story?"

"To be fair, the Headless Ghost's abilities aren't weak, but they're definitely not strong either..."

"What's more, there's only a 50% chance of awakening?"

"If we fail, it will likely become utterly bizarre!"

Su Xing shook his head inwardly, having no intention of awakening the Corpse Demon Sequence at all.

Compared to the Corpse Demon sequence, Fang Yuan's Mechanic and Hu Dong's Guide sequence have much lower costs, at least they still look like human beings!

"Tsk tsk, a chance to awaken extraordinary abilities, even if it's only 50%... For an ordinary person, they'd try it even if it meant death, right?"

"However, I have other options. Even if I only rely on emotional points to strengthen myself, it's better than being a half-human, half-monster!"

He seemed lost in thought upon waking.

In short, this unusual material gave Su Xing new inspiration.

In the future, if he obtains suitable rare materials, he might be able to truly awaken a sequence of extraordinary abilities!

"But for now, let's forget about it..."

Su Xing shook his head and continued looking down.

It was discovered that in addition to strengthening itself, this material can also be used to enhance items, creating wondrous artifacts!

[Enhancement Direction 2: Oddity Item Enhancement. By using a suitable item as a medium, this material can be used for enhancement to obtain an oddity item that possesses some of the Headless Ghost's abilities.]

[Emotional Points Required: Depends on the enhanced artifact.]

Upon seeing the second direction for enhancement, Su Xing's eyes lit up.

This is exactly what he needs!

Compared to the cost of awakening the "Corpse Demon Sequence," strengthening a rare item is obviously more controllable and requires less effort.

Especially after the previous battle with the anomaly, Su Xing realized that:

The right way to deal with anomalies is to use the right artifacts in conjunction with extraordinary individuals.

Seeing that Su Xing was staring intently at the strange materials, Hu Dong smiled and said:

"Xiao Su, isn't this material quite good?"

Su Xing smiled, casually put the box away, and politely said:

"Captain Hu, thank you! I'll accept this rare material..."

"Hey? Wait a minute!" Hearing this, Hu Dong quickly stopped him, saying:

"When did I say I gave you this rare material?"

Su Xing panicked upon hearing this and retorted:

"I killed that headless monster, and you brought these strange materials with you—isn't that meant for me?"

Hu Dong shook his head after hearing this and said:

"That's not how it works! Although you deserved the most credit for killing the headless monster, Fang Yuan and I also contributed, didn't we?"

"While you were unconscious for the past two days, Fang Yuan and I finalized a set of rules for resource allocation among extraordinary individuals. Would you like to hear them?"

"Then tell me about it," Su Xing said.

Hu Dong cleared his throat and said:

"These rare items are different from ordinary supplies; each one is very precious."

"So Fang Yuan and I discussed that from now on, every time we obtain a rare item, we will distribute it according to the item's value and the contribution made."

"Take this strange material for example. You found it and killed the headless monster, so you deserve the greatest credit and should be responsible for 60% of the value of this strange material."

"And Fang Yuan and I also contributed, so we'll each take 20%, how about that?"

Su Xing nodded slightly, acknowledging the distribution ratio, but then asked with a hint of doubt:

"There's only one piece of this rare material; we can't possibly divide it into three parts, can we?"

"So... I have 60% of the credit, which rounds up to 100%. Why don't you just give me the materials directly?" Su Xing blinked.
