Hei Deng Xia Huo
Chapter 201 Crowbar
Miss Chai looked bewildered as Li Ang dragged her into the automated pet feeder to enjoy a close-up view of the snake-shaped ribbon worms wriggling back and forth in a glass container, ceaselessly sucking up fresh blood.
“What is this thing?!”
Miss Chai asked in shock, “It’s disgusting.”
“Disgusting? It’s alright. Look how cute it is, flipping open its proboscis and poking the pig blood cake with its吻中zhenci.”
As the creator, Li Ang naturally had to defend his creation.
“Look at the acidic mucus secreted by its body, look at the complete digestive system that differentiates it from lower flatworms, look at its enormous size and powerful muscles.
Most importantly, it’s pink. So cute, not aggressive at all.”
Before he finished speaking, the long ribbon worm seemed to have another rejection reaction, thrashing wildly inside the square container, slamming its body against the top of the explosion-proof glass, cracking it with a spiderweb pattern.
Li Ang continued without changing expression, “See, it seems to like you a lot. It's so eager to come out and greet you now that you’re here.”
“Does that look like it’s greeting me?!”
Miss Chai couldn’t help but take a few steps back, complaining, “I feel like it just wants to suck blood, doesn’t it?”
*Tzzz*—
The ribbon worm coiled its body, opened its proboscis, and shot a ball of corrosive blood energy toward the explosion-proof glass, causing it to sizzle and smoke as it corroded.
Li Ang glared and sternly rebuked, “How can you say that about Little Pink? Look, it’s crying because it’s so sad.”
“When did you give this thing a name? And that’s spitting poison, not crying...”
Miss Chai looked askance at the ribbon worm slowly crawling out of the gap in the glass container, and complained,
“Aren’t you going to look back? Your Little Pink is crawling toward you, and it’s standing up, ready to attack.”
As Miss Chai complained, the ribbon worm, standing upright like a king cobra, suddenly lunged at Li Ang.
Before it could poke Li Ang with its probosciszhenci, the latter easily grabbed its body, shook it, and released a ripple, completely paralyzing the ribbon worm's blood-energy-filled body.
“Little Pink, you’re really not being good.”
Li Ang lifted the paralyzed ribbon worm and looked at Miss Chai. “By the way, do you want to try controlling it with yin energy?
This thing looks ugly, but its combat power is still quite considerable.”
"...I'll give it a try."
Miss Chai pursed her lips, slowly walked forward, and cautiously touched the blood-sucking ribbon worm in Li Ang’s hand with one finger.
A person’s soul can not only parasitize living human bodies, but can also temporarily reside in some objects or creatures with heavy yin energy, such as paper dolls, paper umbrellas, black cats, and so on.
Ordinary ribbon worms cannot be influenced by souls because their nervous systems are too primitive.
But this pink ribbon worm, implanted with a vampire stomach by the biological template, has grown into a transcendent creature, and because of the abundant blood energy in its body, its energy attribute is negative, cold and dark, which has some similarities with the soul.
“I think I can influence it.”
Miss Chai pressed her finger against the ribbon worm’s surface and said with a frown, “But I can only give it very simple instructions, such as spraying poison, etc.”
“That’s enough.”
Li Ang’s face lit up with joy, and he asked Miss Chai to cooperate with him in many experiments, and finally finalized a plan for further modification of the vampire ribbon worm.
He used the biological template to further reduce the size of the ribbon worm to about seventy centimeters long and five centimeters in diameter, and covered its surface with a layer of black chitinous shell, which was light, thin, and strong.
This layer of chitinous shell firmly sealed the ribbon worm’s epidermis and muscles, preventing it from wriggling and twisting. It remained straight, with the tip slightly翘qi翘翘起.
Overall, it looked like a crowbar.
The new ribbon worm could not move freely, and would definitely die in the wild.
But Li Ang didn’t need it to move.
He used the biological template to melt part of the ribbon worm’s ladder-shaped neural network, turning it into a stiff, immobile “plant worm.”
More reticular nerves grew around the stomach pouch, connecting to different areas of the ribbon worm’s short, stick-like body.
As long as Miss Chai held the ribbon worm crowbar and activated different areas of the ribbon worm nerves with yin energy, this biological weapon would automatically activate blood energy and release the transcendent abilities that vampires were born with.
In short, he transformed a transcendent creature into a **weapon** with no mind of its own.
This weapon, named "Blood Worm Crowbar" by Li Ang, could release about three high-intensity vampire skills driven by yin energy. After the energy was exhausted, blood and high-concentration nutrient solution had to be injected into the mouthparts.
Including the previous ribbon worm, Li Ang made a total of two biological weapons, and these two blood worm crowbars could actually be identified by the system as equipment props.
Name: Blood Worm Crowbar
Type: Weapon
Quality: Rare
Attack Power: Low
Effect 1: Crimson Conversion. Controls the blood within a certain range, causing morphological changes. Can extract blood from weak individuals.
Effect 2: Crimson Surge. Launches a ball of corrosive blood forward.
Consumption: 50 points of spiritual energy
Cooldown: None
Equipment Requirement: User’s energy attribute is Yin
Note: In full state, the blood worm stick can release three effects. To release again, you need to actively fill quality-assured blood.
Note:
“A rare quality item,”
Li Ang looked at the system's evaluation of this equipment, his eyes lit up, "Even at the average price on the luntan, it can be sold for at least 1000 game coins.
And all I paid was two vampire stomach bags purchased from the mall for 100 game coins.
It seems that crafting game equipment myself is more cost-effective than buying it from the game store.”
As time goes on, the player base will master more and more unique skills and equipment. Inevitably, there will be some life-skill players who are proficient in forging, smelting, medicine, and alchemy.
At that time, the player base will no longer have to rely entirely on system rewards or the game store to obtain equipment and props. They can directly purchase some equipment and props from life-skill players to supplement their own combat power.
All forces will spare no expense to recruit these life-skill players, offering prices that lone wolves cannot refuse.
Moreover, because of the emergence of distress signal-related props, life-skill players who are not strong in combat can also receive perfect protection from combat players in script missions.
Thinking about it this way, it feels so unfair. Is this the industrial-agricultural scissors difference version of the killing game?
Li Ang thought silently, and shifted his gaze to the bottom of the blood worm crowbar.
In addition to the system's note for this item, Li Ang, as the creator, can also add a note for the equipment.
He thought about it and added one.
Note: Can be fed animal blood, human blood, type A, type B, type AB, type O, Rh negative, Rh positive blood, venous blood, arterial blood, painstaking effort, burning passion, raw meat and blood, hemorrhoid blood. Remember to mash the pig blood cake in advance when feeding it, adding a little salt will work better.
