Chapter 451: Chapter 425: Advancent
Chen Shouyi left the command headquarters and returned to the rooftop of the garrison.
He walked into his tent, put down his backpack, and still feeling a bit restless with excitent, paced back and forth.
The enhancent to one’s strength from intelligence is the most apparent.
"Once the ten vials of low-grade Divine Marrow are delivered, my strength will undoubtedly undergo a world-shaking transformation!"
He felt that by then, he wouldn’t need to fear even directly confronting a Demigod.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Though he had already killed two demigods, his true strength still fell far short of them.
The first female demigod was already seriously injured, so there was nothing to say about that.
The second bird-like demigod, however, abandoned its advantage by descending from the sky to the ground and even crawled into a low building. Its legs couldn’t stand upright, its wings couldn’t unfold, its movent was restricted, and attacking beca difficult. It couldn’t exert even one-tenth of its full strength.
His victory could only be attributed to favorable timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony, coupled with a death-defying gambit.
Any slight mistake could have led to death!
Chen Shouyi picked up so cold water from last night and drank it all in one gulp to suppress his excitent.
He rubbed his face and walked out of the tent.
"Chief Advisor Chen, is there any good news?" Feng Hansong greeted with a smile as he looked at Chen Shouyi.
Was it that obvious?
"You got it wrong, where’s the good news?" Chen Shouyi curbed his smile upon hearing this, sat down at his seat, and said calmly.
It’s better to stay low-key, acting pretentious easily provokes jealousy!
Feng Hansong didn’t press further, took a sip of tea, and suddenly said, "I’ve got sothing to tell you guys, tomorrow I’ll be transferred, and part of the troops in Hedong will be withdrawn as well."
"Where to?" Qin Liuyuan asked imdiately.
"To Pingzhou! It’s said that the battle there is intense, with heavy casualties!" Feng Hansong replied.
Chen Shouyi fell silent at these words, as urban warfare is the hardest of all wars, causing the most severe casualties. Pingzhou is the main base of the Barbarians. Although so have escaped through space, those still remaining in Pingzhou are likely not a small number.
Fifty thousand? A hundred thousand?
It might be much more!
If they were all Barbarians, it wouldn’t be that difficult to handle; just lock down Pingzhou and bomb it, even resort to nuclear missiles directly.
The key issue is that Pingzhou has more civilians than Barbarians.
It’s not like Dongning; after Dongning fell for more than half a year, the surviving civilians were mostly assimilated into cultists. Launching a nuclear bomb was more for strategic significance.
The situation was perilous at the ti, and it was a asure of last resort to weaken the Barbarian God’s power and sever their two-front assault.
But Pingzhou has only fallen for about a week, and the civilians haven’t been assimilated yet. Now that the God of Hunting has fled and cannot return to Earth anyti soon, it is naturally impossible to use such extre asures again.
To capture Pingzhou, a huge sacrifice will likely be required.
...
Originally, Chen Shouyi thought the delivery of Divine Marrow would arrive by dusk, but unexpectedly, it arrived shortly after lunch.
Chen Shouyi rushed back to the temporary command headquarters, where a team of fully-ard soldiers was already waiting.
After carefully verifying his identity, the leading officer saluted and handed over a tallic suitcase: "Mr. Chen, this is your delivery. Please check and sign for it."
Delivery?
Chen Shouyi was taken aback by the term.
But it was indeed quite fast!
Chen Shouyi opened the suitcase, checked that the ten vials of low-grade Divine Marrow were correct, and signed the docunt.
Imdiately, he picked up the suitcase and left.
He casually found an empty hotel, randomly chose a room, and gently pushed the door open, causing the lock to fly off.
He walked in.
The room was full of dust, the air thick with a musty sll.
He frowned slightly, focused his will, and all the dust rose, making the entire room spotless in less than a second. Even the bed’s yellow-stained mattress and sheets returned to a clean white.
He placed the briefcase down and sat on the bed.
Click...
He opened the suitcase.
Ten vials of low-grade Divine Marrow were lined up, emitting a clear glow like moonlight.
Like the most captivating jewels, they appeared so delightful.
He gently stroked it with his finger; his heart couldn’t help but throb.
He picked one up, opened the cork with a "pop," and drank it in one go.
The sa taste.
Fishy, salty, sticky!
He smacked his lips, feeling that the quality was exactly the sa as last ti, with no dilution at all.
As an electric tingling ran through his scalp, he felt ntally dazed, and after a few seconds, his brain quickly beca clear.
He imdiately checked his attribute panel.
He found that his intelligence had increased by 0.2, reaching 17.3.
"The effect is weaker than last ti; the last ti I took the final vial of low-grade Divine Marrow, I still gained 0.3." Chen Shouyi thought sowhat dissatisfied.
Then, he picked up another bottle, opened the cork, and drank it all.
This ti, however, it only increased by 0.1, reaching 17.4.
His heart chilled slightly: "The effect is decreasing too fast!"
He took the third vial; thankfully, it still increased by 0.1, reaching 17.5.
The fourth bottle showed no improvent.
The fifth bottle saw a 0.1 increase, reaching 17.6.
The sixth yielded no improvent.
The seventh increased by 0.1, reaching 17.7.
The eighth yielded no improvent.
The ninth yielded no improvent.
The last bottle, after much difficulty, increased by 0.1, reaching 17.8!
The attribute panel had beco:
Strength: 18.0
Agility: 18.0
Constitution: 18.0
Intelligence: 17.8
Perception: 15.8
Will: 16.9
Energy Accumulation: 11.3
Faith Value: 7.69
Looking at the string of 18.0 followed by 17.8.
Chen Shouyi sighed slightly, feeling it was still a bit lacking. If only it increased by 0.2 more, the first four attributes would align.
This ti, the Shell Lady didn’t wake up; she continued to sleep peacefully. For the past few days, she indulged daily, intoxicated by the taste of demigod flesh, which was satisfaction enough for her.
He didn’t stay in the room long. Putting the empty glass bottles back into the suitcase, he quickly left the hotel.
As he reached the door, he suddenly stood still for a long ti.
The world seed to slow down again before his eyes.
A soldier in the distance was walking in a comical stance, moving slowly.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting a plastic bag at his feet, which danced in the chaotic air, constantly changing directions in the sky.
He focused on the plastic bag.
An influx of information poured into his mind.
He found that he could vaguely predict its next trajectory.
Chen Shouyi had a thought and used the Wind Control Ability.
The next mont, the countless chaotic air currents around were swept away by an invisible hand and completely lost their energy.
Everything beca calm and peaceful, without any disturbances.
He took a step forward, heading towards the distance.
A few steps later, his speed beca no different from that of an ordinary person, and before long, he returned to the garrison.
