"It's alright, we can make another profit by selling this flamethrower and projectile launcher."
V didn't care much about the issue; the two "trash" items she picked up might fetch 20,000 euros, mainly because the flamethrower could sell for a good price.
After splitting the bill, Jack Wells parked the car on the side of the road, looked at V and Ke Ling, and spoke directly.
"Ahem, I'm satisfied with Lucy's performance. What about you two?"
There's nothing wrong with bringing it up; a two-way interview was one of the goals of their operation.
"I have no opinion."
V nodded. She also thought Lucy was a good girl and someone who could be helpful. They had underestimated Lucy before.
Since neither of them had any objections, only Ke Ling remained, and their gazes naturally turned to her.
"Lucy, do you think we passed the test?"
Without any hesitation, Ke Ling directly asked Lucy for her opinion.
Since it's a two-way interview, it's not enough for them to say yes; Lucy's opinion also matters.
"I have no objection; you guys are capable enough."
Lucy leaned against the car window, her head slightly turned towards the outside, a cigarette already lit in her hand. She answered casually, seemingly indifferent to the outcome.
"Great, then let's team up from now on."
Jack Wells clapped his hands excitedly. Having a regular team of hackers is more reliable than having to find people on the fly every time.
At least with fixed teams of hackers, the rewards for missions are split equally among them. But if you need to find hackers outside when there's a problem, you have to accept the profit-sharing ratio demanded by them.
"What do you say? Want to grab a drink?"
Now that everything is settled, it's time for our usual "have a drink" routine.
"I'm going to find Old Wei and take this thing off."
This time, V was the first to refuse. She held up the sack in her hand, saying that the "garbage" hadn't been dealt with yet.
Ke Ling waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she wouldn't go either, which made Jack Wells turn his attention to Lucy.
"Feel sorry."
Lucy flicked her cigarette ash. Although she was a newcomer to the team, half of the members had already chosen not to go, so she naturally didn't have to go either.
"You can go find Misty, Jack."
Seeing that Jack Wells had been rejected so badly, Ke Ling laughed and joked.
"Alright, I'll take you back first."
Jack Wells shrugged, not really caring, and drove them off one by one to their destinations.
Ke Ling went straight home, went into his room, took a bath and changed his clothes, and then solemnly put on the "Disaster-Averting Fox Mask".
"Limited System, add points."
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ke Ling didn't hesitate at all and immediately added that skill optimization point to the [Demon Transformation] skill.
The next chapter will be later~~~
Chapter 85 New Traits
Optimization complete.
Gain a new trait called "Activation".
Activation: Flesh and blood are not weak; upon contact with an object, they release the power of flesh and blood, activating and controlling it.
Looking at the optimized results, Ke Ling was at a loss for words.
The problem of "eating" and the problem of "sunshine" have not been solved. Perhaps we should be disappointed?
However, this trait called "activation" sounds quite interesting.
"Contact with objects, release the power of flesh and blood, and activate control."
The literal meaning is not difficult to understand, but the specific effect can only be known by trying it.
Ke Ling stretched out his hand, the subcutaneous armor peeled away, revealing a bare, fleshy palm, and then he drew his knife.
He didn't plan to experiment directly with the cybernetic implants on his body; after all, the price was prohibitive, and he couldn't just mess around with them.
In contrast, this knife, which was already slated for replacement, seems to have become a good subject for experimenting with new abilities.
"Flesh and blood revitalization".
Ke Ling gripped the knife and used her new ability.
Under his gaze, flesh and blood continued to peel away from his hands, flowing towards the knife he held.
The flesh on Ke Ling's hand fell off and regenerated, then fell off again, flowing continuously toward the knife until the flesh completely enveloped it.
"that's it?"
Ke Ling gripped the knife and examined it. The flesh on his hand was no longer changing, indicating that the knife had acquired enough flesh.
The flesh and blood were constantly writhing on the blade, seemingly devouring it, or perhaps merging into it, which looked rather eerie.
"It's a bit slow."
Ke Ling came to his first conclusion: putting everything else aside, the speed at which this flesh and blood activates is rather slow, and it will probably be difficult to play a role in combat.
For example, weapons that could directly turn enemies into flesh and blood are definitely out of the question at this stage. They're not stupid; why would they let their weapons be covered in flesh and blood?
Let's put it on hold for now.
Ke Ling put the knife aside, letting it continue to wriggle, while he began his daily training.
At the same time, he didn't forget about that attribute point, and without hesitation, he added it directly to his physique.
"Ok?"
Just after adding points, Ke Ling suddenly had a realization: this "activation" trait is also affected by physical attributes.
The size of the target object that can be activated by flesh and blood, and the speed at which flesh and blood consume and activate it, are directly related to physical attributes.
After his physique improved a little more, Ke Ling could feel that the flesh on the knife was writhing at a noticeably faster pace.
Ke Ling checked the time and started timing. About an hour later, the writhing flesh on the knife finally stopped moving.
"finished?"
Ke Ling understood immediately. He looked at the knife and indeed felt a completely different sensation from before.
At this moment, the appearance of the sword also changed. Its original appearance was plain and unremarkable, without any decoration. It was just an ordinary samurai sword.
But now, the knife looks as if it has been completely remade. The blade has changed color, turning blood red, and is covered with complex patterns, exuding an eerie beauty.
Ke Ling picked up the knife, played with it for a while, and roughly understood the effect of the knife being brought to life by flesh and blood.
First, he can manipulate and change the shape of the knife, making the blade extend into several sharp points and lengthen the blade.
However, these are all limited; for example, the blade can only be extended by about twenty centimeters.
"Bah!"
Under Ke Ling's control, the knife began to change.
Several sharp blades instantly pierced out of the blood-red blade, and the length of the blade also increased.
Ke Ling swung the knife with a fluid motion, as if it were an extension of his own body.
In addition, if the knife breaks, as long as he has it, he can continue to infuse "flesh and blood power" to make the blade grow back.
Of course, it won't work through the subcutaneous armor, because the blade can only regenerate by continuously transmitting "flesh and blood power".
Does higher quality mean stronger ability to revitalize the flesh and blood?
Ke Ling felt the feedback of the power. If the quality of this knife were better, it would gain more power after the flesh and blood were activated, and the power would be stronger.
"So in the end, we still need to get a better knife."
The knife, after being activated by flesh and blood, did not actually change much in quality; it did not become sharper as a result, a fact that Ke Ling could clearly sense.
"It's a pity that this knife can't be used during the day."
The disadvantage of the activated flesh and blood is also obvious: it will die in the light, just like Ke Ling's original body, since it was activated by his flesh and blood.
This means that it is not feasible to revitalize the subcutaneous armor and prosthetic eyes with flesh and blood. Once the flesh and blood revitalization is completed, these things will become part of his body.
While it will remain incredibly tough, possessing special properties such as fire resistance, electrical resistance, optical camouflage, and temperature regulation, and may even gain new abilities, it will also become afraid of sunlight.
The purpose of these things is to allow him to walk in the sunlight. Of course, we can't put the cart before the horse, so Ke Ling immediately abandoned the idea of activating the flesh and blood of the subcutaneous armor.
"Wouldn't we have to keep two knives on hand from now on? One normal knife for daytime use, and one knife with activated flesh and blood for nighttime use."
Ke Ling smiled. He might not even be able to afford a good knife right now, yet the demand for it has increased dramatically. How could that be?
"Father, are there any good knives for sale on the market, and they should be reasonably priced?"
Thinking of her meager wallet, Ke Ling sent a message to the priest, saying that the all-powerful middleman does all kinds of business, and maybe he also has second-hand knives to sell?
"Don't be so frugal, go buy a new knife, you're going to strike it rich."
The priest replied immediately, his tone slightly teasing.
"What? Business has come knocking?"
Ke Ling immediately perked up. The only thing that could make him rich now was the real meat he imported from another world.
"Ten kilograms of venison, 20,000, do you think that price is acceptable?"
Sure enough, the priest sent a message saying that the meat had indeed been sold, but at a low price...
Things like this are simply unavailable on the market; only the truly upper class has the right to consume them.
Is it really reasonable that it can only sell for 1000 yuan per kilogram on the black market?
"There's nothing we can do. Nobody dares to use your meat commercially. After all, you can't get a good price without advertising it, and if you do advertise it, you'll definitely get investigated."
The priest understood Ke Ling's thoughts and began to explain.
"Only a small number of curious individuals are willing to buy, but they are unwilling to pay a higher price for meat of unknown origin and without any safety guarantee."
