435: Chapter 415: New Function 435: Chapter 415: New Function Lu Ping’an was truly at a loss this ti.
He didn’t even feel the existence of pollution, much worse than the last ti in the Secret Keeper test.
Because in terms of “quantity,” it had indeed decreased.
After all, this ti, the focus was on quality.
If they were given the sa “quantity” as last ti, the others probably wouldn’t survive.
With Lu Ping’an’s current pollution resistance…
his defense wall was at a “Quasi-God country” level!
As long as he wasn’t stupid enough to actively peer at the True Gods, nothing would happen…
like when he advanced last ti and glimpsed at Pavilion Master’s Avatar, even deliberately tried to connect with it.
This kind of “reduced” Rule-level “ripple” was utterly unable to break through his “Firewall” and could be considered non-existent.
“Hah, it seems nothing works.”
Lu Ping’an turned around and noticed that the situation was quite bad.
Unlike the previous 100 people, this ti, there was a larger room, but only 20 people.
It hardly begun, and 11 people had already been dragged away.
The remaining eight were all in terrible shape.
So were rolling on the ground while gritting their teeth, others were stubbornly resisting with their mutated parts covered…
the “clearance criteria” for this ti were also different than the previous one.
Last ti, a person had to go through the “resistance” test in a completely intact state, and the slightest mutation would be an instant elimination.
But this ti, as long as there was no irreversible mutation tendency, and rationality remained, they just gritted their teeth and bore it – even if it went a little bit over the line.
Among the eight, only the two in the best condition had the leisure to see Lu Ping’an…
then, as if seeing a ghost, they showed shocked expressions, thinking they had fallen into an illusion.
The duration of this test was very short; when the red light ended, and the pressure suddenly decreased, the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Ping’an, however, scratched his head.
He also didn’t feel like saying “that’s all,” because when this news ca out, that small circle of his – including Guan Xinxian and Xia Qin – was terrified…
But in the end, neither Guan Xinxian nor Xia Qin gave up.
Lu Ping’an simply followed the team out, and then casually received a “Commorative dal,” which he attached to his manual, and left.
On the way, those “candidates” surrounded by dical personnel gave him the deepest impression of the exam.
Even more impressive was a hapless fellow who had mutated into half-human, half-lizard, being locked up and seemingly about to be…
It seed that the previous “Death Liability Form” was not just pure intimidation.
“…What a pity.”
At this mont, he suddenly stopped, a bold idea flashing through his mind.
As a professional, a fleeting inspiration is a kind of wealth.
“…Get out of the way!”
It doesn’t cost anything to try.
“Don’t go near him, he’s already lost his sanity, there’s no hope…
Eh?!”
Just as Lu Ping’an approached, with a gentle tap, the other’s mutation stopped abruptly!
The mutated organs and parts still existed, but the tendency for him to slide into the Abyss halted!
“Postponing the paynt of life…
this works too?!” Lu Ping’an’s amazent was probably no less than the shocked onlookers who couldn’t understand it.
“…In theory, it seems plausible.
Mutation, in a sense, is a kind of evolution, a directed or undirected change of life under the influence, interference, or erosion of external substances.
It is also the evolution of life, the price of life that can be divided into installnts, theoretically speaking…” Big Cat suddenly gave a seemingly true and false answer, logically consistent.
“Why didn’t you say this earlier?” Lu Ping’an was puzzled, and this ability was quite important.
“….” Silence probably didn’t need much explanation, and this was of course…
“It turns out you only thought of this as an afterthought.”
In all honesty, for ordinary professionals, this bizarre ability to divide the erosion-induced mutation process into installnts seed more normal compared to “concept-level installnt injuries” and “installnt physical strength.”
At this mont, Lu Ping’an didn’t have the chance to banter with the big cat anymore, as he was surrounded by the rescue team, who questioned him about what he had done and whether there was any hope for the man.
“…I can’t reduce the overall amount of pollution, but I can control the ‘mutation stimulus’ caused by it to one-third or one-sixth.
Also, since he is now away from the pollution source, there might be a chance to save him…” Lu Ping’an pretended to think and let the big cat give the most convincing reason.
“…I can only delay the cost he has to bear, if divided into three parts, there will be an outbreak at this ti point the day after tomorrow, if divided into six parts, there will be an outbreak every month in the next five months…”
Lu Ping’an’s words instantly stirred up the rescue team.
“Report it, report it quickly!”
“Hurry, hurry, notify everyone, this can save so many lives…”
The scene suddenly beca chaotic.
Lu Ping’an knew that his plans for today were probably completely ruined, and he wouldn’t be able to leave.
The pollution-induced mutations are chain-like; exceeding the threshold will cause mutations, and mutations will produce more mutations, eventually turning the affected person completely non-human…
In a sense, this process is similar to cancer cells.
As long as Lu Ping’an stops the process, one-third of the “cancer cells” will be controlled in ti, and the person can still be saved…
There’s a big difference between the early stage and the terminal stage of cancer.
“How much of a cost do you need to pay for this ability, and how many tis can you use it…?”
How many tis?
Lu Ping’an looked at his panel, and it seed that there was no limit.
“…No ability is free of cost.
I don’t want to discuss the specific price.
But now, I can use it many tis, yes, many tis.”
Paying the ability, paying the price, and getting rewarded were already the golden rules of life for professional Secret Keepers.
Lu Ping’an didn’t want to appear “cost-free,” or else the gratitude and the reward would be severely discounted.
But he also didn’t want to give up saving more people…
After all, it was just a matter of a simple touch, just a small effort in passing.
So, after “We will definitely compensate you, I swear on the honor of a professional Secret Keeper,” Lu Ping’an embarked on his temporary overti work.
That overti lasted a whole day…
Moreover, Lu Ping’an was forced to wear a pitch-black protective suit, looking like a foreign visitor who couldn’t be exposed to light.
He wasn’t professional enough, but others had a strong sense of confidentiality; this kind of ability must be carefully concealed.
By the ti Lu Ping’an was completely done, it was already completely dark outside.
He wasn’t really tired, because not many people needed his intervention…
But he still managed to save dozens of lives.
The other rescuers now regarded him as a god.
Shortly after returning to his hotel, Lu Ping’an saw his fellow examinees.
“Yo, it seems that things went well?”
Even though the faces of Xia Qin and Guan Xinxian looked very bad, at least there were no obvious mutations.
Lu Ping’an glanced at the two of them, activated his Spirit Vision, and sensed their life force…
Confirming that everything was fine, and that there was no need for his “deferred treatnt,” he relaxed.
He actually wasn’t worried about Xia Qin, as that Sword Saint’s resistance was always off the charts, and considering her as a fourth-tier Battle-profession might be underestimated her.
Guan Xinxian’s condition was much better than expected…
If he was in the sa room with Lu Ping’an, he would probably be among the best-scoring candidates, which was a bit beyond his freshman third-tier level.
“I’ve accumulated more, and the Protection system inherently has so advantages in this area.
Maybe it has many advantages.”
Xia Qin nodded in agreent nearby; the pressure she endured was smaller than expected, and she was used to stacking the Protection system/Binding system Overlap Armor…
But considering her experience during the Night of Sacrifice, even without stacking the armor, the chance of her having problems was extrely low in the first place.
And before that, they had been discussing the hottest topic among the candidates…
“Lu Ping’an, did you see that ‘man in black’?
The God-level Healer who could bring you back even after you’ve crossed the line.”
“Well, being able to interfere with the deep mutations inside an individual, at least Rule-level, maybe even a Quasi-God,” Guan Xinxian nodded with certainty.
Lu Ping’an opened his mouth, not knowing where to begin.
