However, this thing is extremely unstable. Except for the first time you eat it, which almost always turns you into a monster, after that, you either have no reaction or you can't withstand the excessive physical distortion or energy impact and explode and die.
The insect-like monster in front of me... seems to have awakened some special ability to grow by devouring "monster cells"?
Sykes reassessed Hansen's value through Little Bright Eyes' perspective.
An individual capable of steadily absorbing the energy of monster cells to grow is a rather rare find even among the Monster Association, which is composed of tens of thousands of monsters.
Perhaps it can be used as a special experimental subject for observation, and may have unexpected uses in the future.
A few seconds later, Xiao Jiongyan let out that sharp laugh again: "Oh ho ho ho, I see, you have quite an appetite."
"I can fulfill your request, but everything comes at a price."
It shook its deformed little wings: "Well then, you can't help me much right now, so you just stay here and do your job well. I'll send someone to deliver what you need regularly."
"When the time comes to help you, don't let me down."
Han Sen's black armor mask revealed no expression, but his posture was very humble: "Your subordinate understands! I will not fail your expectations!"
Xiao Jiong looked very pleased, and even flew around Han Sen once.
"The job here isn't complicated. The most important thing is to feed little Bochi on time. I'm sure that won't be too difficult for you. By the way..."
As if remembering something, it added, "Remember to give yourself a name; a powerful freak should have a resounding title."
"I hope that when we meet again, you will be a household name."
"Goodbye, Ghana~~"
After saying that, the pink ball of flesh flapped its wings and flew into the depths of the passage, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Han Sen slowly straightened up, watching the pink fleshy ball disappear into the darkness.
"Oh dear... a name?"
Recalling the suggestion given by Big Eyes, Han Sen's slightly vacant eyes on his black mask appeared incredibly profound.
The fact that he is an eccentric cannot be faked is his greatest advantage.
No matter how shrewd Sykes was, she could never have guessed—
Inside the failed wolf-level body she casually created, a human soul from another world has been replaced!
However, negotiating with a tiger for its skin is ultimately a matter of both risk and opportunity.
Sykes was right about one thing—
In this twisted world, power...
Only by mastering the power to crush everything can one truly control one's own destiny!
Fortunately, Han Sen has secured a stable channel for obtaining Origin Points—
A free donation from Sykes, the number one richest woman on the list!
The next step is to monetize the resources at hand and fully transform them into strength, so that we can have more confidence in the face of future uncertainties.
Without further hesitation, he immediately calmed himself and summoned the system panel.
His sharp gaze swept across the area, finally settling on the top-ranked golden ability—
SSR "Overgrowth"!
Without needing much explanation from the system, Han Sen understood the significance of this ability.
It is not a direct means of attack or defense, but it is the absolute core and foundation of the Pochi power system!
Just like how Hashirama Senju's Wood Release could summon a giant Buddha to destroy the world, when used by someone else, it could only be used for basic infrastructure projects.
The strength never comes from Wood Release, but from the Six Paths Sage Body, which provides the numerical values!
The effect of "overgrowth" is similar. It is this growth potential that breaks the limits of the species that gives Pochi almost infinite vitality and huge energy reserves, supporting its great power at the peak of the dragon level!
Maximizing it first is to lay a solid foundation and take the first step towards becoming a numerical monster!
What numerical values are there?
Every step of my growth is the result of my hard work and sweat!
With this thought in mind, Han Sen's gaze sharpened: "System, let me see your limits!"
"Give me more!"
[Consuming 1000 Origin Points, "Overgrowth" level increased! Lv1 -> Lv2!]
It was as if a dormant volcano had been ignited in an instant!
A surge of life potential and scorching energy, far more powerful and refined than when it was first replicated, erupted from the heart and instantly swept to every corner of the body!
"Ugh... Ugh!!"
With a muffled groan that he couldn't suppress, Han Sen's body involuntarily arched slightly.
The bones emitted a series of fine, continuous crackling sounds, as if they were being forcibly reshaped and stretched by an invisible hand!
Muscle fibers are rapidly strengthened in the cycle of tearing and regeneration, and an indescribable feeling of expansion fills the whole body!
The total energy in the body surged at a visible rate, like streams converging into rivers, increasing by at least 50%!
Its body, covered in a jet-black shell, grew in size once again, expanding from 1.95 meters to over two meters!
The crimson patterns became even more vibrant and scalding, flickering with each breath and radiating astonishing heat!
"Huh-ha-"
A mouthful of scalding, almost white steam burst from Han Sen's mouth, carrying a hellish heat.
The improvement of core competencies has led to an all-round enhancement of physical fitness!
The pleasure of this power growing and expanding within his body was like the strongest liquor, rushing straight to the depths of his soul, causing an uncontrollable fervor to appear in Han Sen's scarlet pupils!
"Keep going, give it the full speed!"
[Consuming 2000 Origin Points, "Overgrowth" level increased! Lv2 -> Lv3!]
[Consuming 4000 Origin Points, "Overgrowth" level increased! Lv3 -> Lv4!]
[Disaster level raised!]
[Ability slot limit increased by 5!]
The values are soaring, a continuous and comprehensive upgrade!
Boom——! ! !
This time, Han Sen could no longer maintain his posture, and he didn't even have time to pay attention to the system prompts that popped up in front of him!
He was slammed to the ground by the terrifying, almost out-of-control torrent of energy within his body, kneeling on one knee, and the hard rock surface cracked instantly!
“Uhhhhhh——!!”
Amidst the agonizing roars, the hard, jet-black carapace crumbled like fragile porcelain in the face of its surging size!
The body was covered with hideous cracks, revealing new tissue beneath that was shimmering with crimson light and rapidly regenerating!
His height and size grew like a balloon being inflated, two meters, two and a half meters, three meters...!
It only stabilized when it was nearly twice its previous height!
Chapter 9 Arigato, Slime Octopus-san!
While it's true that the larger a monster is, the more likely it is to become a background character, the increase in size is often accompanied by a real surge in strength!
The vitality and energy within the body have experienced an exponential and explosive increase, more than ten times the initial amount!
At this moment, Han Sen even had the illusion that he had become immortal!
He was tall and slender, but not bulky, with every muscle and bone seemingly infused with molten lava, exuding explosive power!
"So this is the joy of being a number monster?"
After a long while, the surging of violent energy within his body gradually subsided.
Han Sen slowly stood up, adjusting to the elevated view that made him feel like he was looking down at ants.
He casually clenched his fist, his knuckles making a metallic clanging sound; the mere force generated by his clenched fist caused the air to groan slightly.
That was fucking awesome!
He subconsciously looked at the requirements for the next level upgrade—
[Upgrading "Overgrowth (SSR)" from Lv4 to Lv5 requires 8000 Origin Points.]
Upon comparing the expenses with the remaining balance, Han Sen's eyes, which had been burning with fervor due to the surge in his internal power, instantly cleared up considerably.
The SSR ability is indeed a money-devouring monster; it consumed 7000 Origin Points in just two or three taps.
Most of the "gold coins" bursting from the slimy octopus evaporated instantly, a bittersweet experience.
Looking at the 5609 Origin Points remaining on the panel, Han Sen clicked his tongue and temporarily gave up the idea of continuing to improve "Overgrowth".
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
His gaze swept across the ability list again, landing on the remaining three glittering SSR abilities.
"Overgrowth" provides powerful vitality and energy limits, which is equivalent to simultaneously maxing out Hansen's base health and mana.
But as anyone who has played the game knows, being tanky isn't just about having a full health bar; defense and resistance are equally important.
Especially in this world where destruction is commonplace, only by staying alive can one contribute.
Therefore, the "Beast Body," which also provides basic stats and hardness, instantly became his top priority.
First, raise your health to 40, that's not bad!
The next gold ability to be upgraded has been determined, but before adding points to the SSR, Han Sen plans to max out the two eye-catching N-level white abilities.
"Hardened carapace" and "Primary regeneration".
Low rarity has its advantages, namely, it's cheap.
While it's true that you get what you pay for, the system description states that once you reach level 10 (the maximum level), the copied abilities will be completely integrated into your own abilities and will no longer occupy valuable ability slots.
The full-level abilities possessed by the main body can break through the original limits!
Han Sen hadn't used this feature before, but now that he had enough Origin Points and could even free up an ability slot, he naturally had to try it out.
简单计算下来，白色能力从Lv3升到Lv10满级，需要4+8+16+32+64+128+256，共计508点本源点。
Han Sen, with his wealth and arrogance, waved his hand—
"System, max out 'Basic Regeneration' first!"
[Consuming 508 Origin Points, "Basic Regeneration" level increased! Lv3->Lv10 (MAX)!]
[Ding! Copying ability "Basic Regeneration" has reached maximum level, integrated into the user, and the ability slot has been removed!]
[Currently occupied capacity bits: 4/15.]
Since Han Sen has already begun to enter the ranks of numerical monsters, his life force is extremely large.
Even though this time the "Primary Regeneration" effect was several times stronger than the original, it only made him feel that his body's activity had increased slightly and his mana regeneration speed had improved.
However, Han Sen was not disappointed, after all, it was a white ability, and the maximum level was already its limit.
The level 10 max-level "Basic Regeneration" flashes a golden light in the main ability section, as if saying, "Come and play with me, grandpa."
But Han Sen remained unmoved and continued to improve his innate ability, "Hardened Shell," which he had from the beginning.
[Consuming 508 Origin Points, "Hardened Shell" level increased! Lv3->Lv10 (MAX)!]
Kakakaka——!
The menacing black armor covering his entire body emitted a series of fine friction sounds, becoming thicker and more solid, its surface shimmering with a deep, restrained, hard luster like obsidian.
Han Sen tapped his breastplate with his finger, producing a deep, resonant clang of metal against metal.
The already formidable defense is further enhanced, and in this dangerous world, the increased hardness directly brings a great sense of security!
After two upgrades to level N abilities, I still have 4593 Origin Points remaining on the panel.
Han Sen pushed "Beast Body" to its limit in one go, and his physique and toughness skyrocketed toward becoming a dragon-level monster like Boqi.
[Consuming 1000 Origin Points, "Beast Body" level increased! Lv1->Lv2!]
[Consuming 2000 Origin Points, "Beast Body" level increased! Lv2->Lv3!]
