After becoming invincible, start having fun in the world

Chapter 267 System Upgrade (Two in One)

Putting this doubt aside for the time being, Li Yuanhao put away his two-handed sword, turned around and left.

The original plan to rely on his own strength to destroy the hive was shattered. For a hive of this size, even if he stood still and hacked until he was exhausted, he might not be able to break through the defensive stratum corneum.

We have to choose other methods.

Bending down, Li Yuanhao slowly climbed onto the audience seats built around the stadium, found a spot blocked by chairs, slowly squatted down, and took out five or six pustular spheres from his arms.

This is the energy gland that was taken out after killing the human-worm previously. It contains a large amount of liquefied high-energy substances.

Generally speaking, this substance is inert and difficult to be affected by external changes, so Li Yuanhao dared to take this gland to restore his strength.

But they have another effect.

Li Yuanhao gently ran his fingers over the sword blade behind him, leaving a trace of blood, and then lightly tapped on the gland.

Although the mainstream use of Qi and blood in today's society is to advance oneself into a warrior, the uses of Qi and blood hundreds of years ago were varied. Although the utilization rate is far less than the current warrior system, it is surprising.

This is also an ancient method of using qi and blood that Li Yuanhao learned when he traveled around the world in his previous life - engraving.

In ancient times, the Chinese used engraving techniques to draw talismans and make elixirs, while Westerners used engraving techniques for alchemy. Although they seem very different, they both lead to the same goal.

What Li Yuanhao is drawing now is a special rune that can guide energy activation.

That’s right, Li Yuanhao planned to blow up this mother nest from the inside.

But now, the amount of glands he has in his hand is far from enough to really damage the mother nest, so Li Yuanhao has other uses for these glands in his hands.

Li Yuanhao carefully put the gland with runes drawn on it into his arms, took a deep breath, turned around and walked back.

The wound on his arm caused by the previous battle with the man-insect has almost recovered under the effect of qi and blood, and the slight pain is not enough to affect his movement.

The return system remained quiet and did not cause any more trouble, as if it was taking a break from the backstabbing just now.

Following the concentration of the yellow fog, Li Yuanhao went around to the back of the insect nest, where there were obviously fewer people and insects.

Hiding behind the door of the utility room, Li Yuanhao carefully observed the situation on the field, searching for the most suitable target.

The little "explosives" in his hand now can only be regarded as detonators. Another sufficiently large high-energy material is needed to actually cause the explosion.

Li Yuanhao already had a choice in mind for this thing.

It is impossible for the mother nest to be without insect guards. There must be a powerful enough being patrolling nearby. The energy stored in the glands of the human insect body is enough to blow up the nest.

Next to the storage room on the east side of the sports field, several black shadows were swaying - five human-bugs were guarding there, one of which was nearly two meters tall, covered with white keratin, and its appearance was very different from that of ordinary human-bugs.

Li Yuanhao frowned. He remembered that there were no human-worms of this size in his previous life.

The white cuticle gleamed with a lustrous luster in the yellow mist. This human-worm seemed to be some kind of leader. Several human-worms around it were circling around it, making sharp hissing sounds from time to time, as if they were sharing something.

Moreover, there are vaguely regular fluctuations of qi and blood in this human-worm!

"Warrior?!" Li Yuanhao was shocked.

The teachers in this school are all academic theorists, and none of them has the energy and blood to reach the warrior level.

The same goes for the students. Those talented students who truly became warriors before the martial arts exam had already been transferred to the university.

Could this human bug be the transformed martial arts instructor?
Did this happen in the previous life?
No? Are you going to increase the intensity now?

Time is running out. The keratinous trees in the insect nest have begun to spread more fleshy roots, which means that a complete cocoon structure can be formed in about twenty minutes.

The glands we have now are far from enough to destroy the mother nest, and we must find enough "fuel" - and the glands on the body of that elite human-insect may be the ideal choice.

Walking to the side, Li Yuanhao finally saw clearly what they were sharing - the thigh of another martial arts instructor.

Li Yuanhao took out his two-handed sword, took two deep breaths to balance his qi and blood, and rushed out suddenly.

"Boom-"

The two-handed sword slashed fiercely at the elite human-worm, but at this moment an ordinary human-worm next to it suddenly flew up and blocked Li Yuanhao's attack. The sound of the blade cutting into the flesh was accompanied by turbid blood splashing.

He actually still has the consciousness to protect his master? !
The surrounding human-insects screamed, and the horny human-insect slowly turned around, and a faint yellow light flashed in its empty eye sockets.

"You've come just in time." Li Yuanhao shouted, swung his sword to block the two ordinary human insects that were rushing towards him, and at the same time urged his energy and blood to rush forward with all his strength.

The elite man-worm suddenly let out a strange cry, raised its bony arm and smashed down violently.

[Trigger Success]

[Return "Qi and Blood Speed" x2]

Taking advantage of the sudden increase in speed, Li Yuanhao barely avoided the attack, but the powerful shock wave still knocked him back several steps.

A shallow pit was smashed into the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

Li Yuanhao rolled to avoid another attack and seized the opportunity to stab the elite human-insect's knee with a sword.

"clang--"

The two-handed sword collided with the stratum corneum, making a metallic crisp sound and leaving only a shallow mark.

"Even the joints are covered?"

Looking closely, the joints of the elite human-worm are not like armor with gaps for movement as imagined, but layers of chain mail-like keratin stacked on top of each other, which retains flexibility of movement while providing sufficient defense.

The elite man-worm roared, opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and spewed out a yellow mist.

Li Yuanhao held his breath and dodged, but the mist still rubbed his arm. He felt a sharp pain and his skin quickly festered.

"Shit, this thing sprays acid."

【Footwork: Overlapping Waves】

Taking advantage of the elite man-worm's attack to cushion his attack, Li Yuanhao tiptoed around to the back and was about to stab the seemingly weak back of the neck with a sword.

[Trigger Success]

[Return "Ankle Shock" x2]

Suddenly, Li Yuanhao's feet were under high pressure while he was using footwork, which made him lose balance and tremble for a moment. The next moment, the elite human-insect reacted and turned around at an unreasonable speed and slapped Li Yuanhao in the chest with a claw.

"Click——"

Several ribs broke and Li Yuanhao was thrown out and hit the iron door of the storage room.

"Well--"

Li Yuanhao endured the pain and rolled to the side to avoid the elite human-insect's further attack. He circulated his qi and blood to repair his injuries.

This level of injury is not something a first-level warrior can recover from quickly.

The horny man-worm let out a triumphant hiss and approached Li Yuanhao with heavy steps.

"Stab!"

The claw strike came down on his head, and at that moment Li Yuanhao curled the corners of his mouth.

“【Blood Rage】!”

The next moment, even though Li Yuanhao did not trigger the return, his entire strength suddenly doubled! Increased rapidly! Increased vigorously!

The two-handed sword thrust out, piercing directly through the elite man-worm's palm and nailing into the man-worm's chest like a skewer of meat.

The moment the sword pierced through, the blood and energy in Li Yuanhao's body seemed to erupt from a volcano, continuously flowing into the two-handed sword.

"Break it for me!" Li Yuanhao roared, feeling the weapon in his hand trembling under the impact of qi and blood.

The stratum corneum was finally pierced, and with a crisp breaking sound, the two-handed sword was deeply embedded in the chest of the horny man-worm.

The horny man-worm screamed and waved his arms to try to push Li Yuanhao away, but Li Yuanhao, who was holding the hilt tightly, twisted it hard. "Crack--"

The sword blade stirred, and yellow-green liquid gushed out, and the keratinous man-worm's movements suddenly became slow.

"Reborn, kid." Li Yuanhao's crooked mouth was not over yet: "Do you understand the trump card?"

"I have more cards on me than anyone you've ever eaten."

The martial arts instructors in the school are all at the peak of the first level, so the human-insects they transform into will naturally not be weaker than this. Judging from the power of its claw during the fight just now, this human-insect should be close to becoming a second-level warrior.

Fortunately, the current level of evolution of this human-worm is obviously not enough, and it can't even use martial arts, otherwise Li Yuanhao would not have defeated it so easily.

【Ding】

A pop-up window appeared in front of Li Yuanhao, but he had no time to pay attention to it.

The roar of the man-insect during the battle just now was actually shaking people. Now Li Yuanhao could hear the hissing sound coming from a distance.

In his current severely disabled state, any human-worm that has just been parasitized can be used as a head-killer by him, so he is naturally not to be trifled with.

There was no time to even remove the gland, Li Yuanhao hurriedly cut off the head of the elite human-insect and ran away with it.

The belated human-insect swarm could only roar weakly, and after wandering for a while, they looked down at the headless elite human-insect on the ground.

Bro, it smells so good.

Chewing sounds were heard as the human-insect swarm began to share the headless corpse.

Bro, it’s delicious.

----------

"excuse me."

In the audience, Li Yuanhao cut open the chest of a dead body in front of him, and then forcefully stuffed something the size of a basketball into it.

After pulling the blood-stained school uniform of the corpse to cover the wound, Li Yuanhao threw the corpse far away to the playground.

He had observed before that the primary task of the insect people in this area was to provide energy to the hive, not to eat, so this corpse would definitely end up in the hive.

Now we just have to wait for the bugs to find us.

After doing all this, Li Yuanhao slowly sat down against the wall.

The battle just now caused him considerable damage. Even if he used his qi and blood, his broken ribs could not be restored in a short time, so he could only temporarily fix them with a cloth strip.

During this period of waiting, Li Yuanhao finally had time to read the notification from the system.

[Ding, the number of returns has reached 100, the system is upgrading]

[Upgrade completed, modified certain return judgment ranges. 】

【It has slightly improved the intelligence of customer service. 】

[Provide one upgrade point]

The introduction is very simple, just three messages.

After playing with the customer service Xiaoxiang briefly, Li Yuanhao still looked half-dead and could not see any improvement in his intelligence.

As for [modification of certain refund judgment range], normally it should be to fix the bug that causes the refund along with negative effects, but it is obvious that this system is not normal, so Li Yuanhao does not have much hope for this.

The last part is the upgrade point, which is introduced in detail.

It's very simple. You can freely choose to upgrade one of the two options, [Return Multiplier] and [Return Probability]. If you don't make a choice within 24 hours, it will be automatically upgraded randomly.

Li Yuanhao moved his duodenum slightly to think and found that this so-called upgrade was a sinkhole.

There is no other reason, it all comes down to that pot that will return everything.

If it is improved, maybe one day I won't be able to withstand the returned damage and die suddenly?

But even if you don't choose, he will assign it to you himself, which is disgusting.

With a sigh, Li Yuanhao decided to take the initiative to face it and allocated this upgrade point to [Return Probability].

The main reason is that it is really easy to die suddenly because the multiplier is too high, just like triggering the death by injury, the tolerance rate is extremely low.

You can gamble as many times as you want, but if the damage is returned once, you will die.

The worst that can happen is that after increasing the probability, you can just avoid situations where you might get hurt. Even if you get hurt, it's just double the damage, so there's still some room for error.

After making the selection, the system interface flashed slightly and the upgrade was completed. There was no need for the system to go into sleep, which made Li Yuanhao wait for half a day in vain.

At the same time, just as Li Yuanhao was upgrading, the corpse containing the thunder was finally discovered by the patrolling human-insects and dragged to the vicinity of the mother nest.

As the corpse was slowly stuffed into the mother tree, Li Yuanhao's mind slowly focused.

It's now!

"burst!"

Light shone from the cracks in the tree trunks, and at the same time, all the human-insects suddenly raised their heads and rushed towards the mother nest like crazy.

The next moment, the sound disappeared from the world briefly.

Li Yuanhao hid himself behind the concrete wall in a panic to resist the impact of the explosion.

It’s not that he didn’t run, but he ran too far to activate the bomb.

According to his calculations, even if he was seriously injured now, this distance and the protection of the concrete would be enough to safely survive the explosion.

Well, if nothing else.

[Trigger Success]

[Return "Explosion Impact" x2]

"I fucking knew it." Li Yuanhao cursed inwardly.

I knew that this system was going to cause trouble, but fortunately it was only a double impact and I could handle it if I gritted my teeth.

But before Li Yuanhao could finish this thought, another voice sounded.

[Trigger Success]

[Return "Return Explosion Impact" x2]

"No?"

Feeling the impact on his body suddenly increase eightfold, Li Yuanhao spat out a mouthful of blood and held on to the gap in the concrete wall with force to avoid being blown away.

[Trigger Success]

[Return "Return Explosion Impact" x2]

"Shall I draft it!"

Before he lost consciousness, Li Yuanhao uttered one last curse.

The shock wave spread, and the entire No. 1 Middle School and the surrounding buildings shook.

At the same time, the thick yellow fog that enveloped the school finally dissipated slowly.

"Sir! The bug fog has dissipated, and a team has successfully entered the school!"

"Very good, inform the team leader, go quickly!"
