My stats are higher than yours!!

The school doctor squinted at it, then his expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Holy crap! A growing cursed device, and the kind that's deadly, incredibly fast, and even self-destructs when you die! Where did you get this from?"

"A black light appeared when I opened the bronze treasure chest."

Bai Shuodong sighed as he spoke.

“Then your situation is indeed quite dangerous. Every two hours, 200 life points are drained. You should die after one drain… um?” The school doctor stopped mid-sentence.

He was astonished to discover that Bai Shuodong's current life limit had reached a terrifying 817 points.

Newly became a psionicist, 817 life points!

What kind of insane tank is this?

Are tank-type psionicists really that powerful?

Then, the school doctor took a closer look at the four-dimensional attributes.

Power: 23

Agility: 13

Physical condition: 23

Spirit: 11

Is this a four-dimensional attribute or a human?

Immediately, the school doctor looked around, grabbed Bai Shuodong's hand, and asked with utmost seriousness, "You kid, you didn't just switch to a god-level profession, did you? Let me cover for you, okay?"

"No, it's a legendary class."

"A legendary class can have these stats? Do you think I'm not a legendary psionicist? I've been through this stage myself. Do you think I don't know what attributes legendary psionicists have?" the school doctor said matter-of-factly.

How delightful!

This school doctor is a hidden legend!

No wonder he has such a superior status!

"I truly am a legendary Forbidden Walker. If you don't believe me, I'll show you my panel." Bai Shuodong opened his own class panel and then switched to shared mode.

Normally, a psychic's panel is only visible to themselves, but others can also see it.

"Let me take a look..."

The school doctor examined her closely, and then his expression became even more interesting. He smiled, sat back down, tilted his head slightly, and said, "You're really a... warrior, very brave."

"what?"

"The Forbidden Walker has a terrible reputation among us legendary psionicists. To become stronger, you have to walk the path of death. You have to keep looking for things that would kill a normal person. If you can't find them, it's like having one less core passive and one less skill slot than other legendary psionicists."

The school doctor paused for a moment, then continued, "I may not know much about other legendary professions, but the Forbidden Walker is extremely well-known. It's a famously forbidden profession. I didn't expect you to choose it."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you've got some nerve."

Bai Shuodong scratched his head and said, "I feel like the stats for this job are pretty high. It shouldn't be that bad, it's just a little dangerous at most."

"The values ​​were just high in the early stages."

The school doctor smiled, then tapped the table lightly with his fingers and continued, "As your strength increases, the value that you can increase by the taboos you've encountered now will gradually decrease, or even disappear. Because at that time, the taboos you encountered before will no longer be taboos for you."

"So, I have to find a forbidden item that can gradually become stronger and carry it with me? If the forbidden item becomes stronger, will my attributes increase?" Bai Shuodong asked curiously.

"If we level up in sync, the extra attribute bonuses will indeed increase, but..."

The school doctor's eyes turned strange. Pointing at the Blood Demon Armor on his body, he asked, "But tell me, do you think you can live forever if you keep wearing this thing? It drains 200 life points every hour, which could kill you."

"I can recover!"

"Can you make 200 in an hour?"

"Easy and easy."

"?"

The school doctor fell into a brief silence because he suddenly realized something, which was...

Bai Shuodong's current health seems to be full, and his condition looks very good. This means that the kid has recovered at least 200 health points within an hour, and most likely in less than an hour.

Is this a human number?

Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Contract! Blood Demon Armor!

"So, you came to me to take control of this equipment and prevent it from draining your life force?"

"No."

Bai Shuodong shook his head and said, "Extracting a little life force isn't a big problem. The main issue is that it has a spiritual nature and the ability to actively release curses. During battle, it will spread my blood in the form of blood mist, forming a large-scale, uncontrollable [Laughter Factor] curse."

How did you know?

“During the trials in the Spirit Realm, all my teammates and the enemies on the other side turned into Laughing Infected. They all went crazy,” Bai Shuodong said with a sigh.

"..."

The school doctor was silent for a moment, then frowned and muttered to himself in confusion, "No, with the concentration of [Laughter Factor] in your body, it's impossible to achieve this effect. Even the Blood Demon Armor, which is proficient in curses, cannot create new Laughter Factor out of thin air; it doesn't have that ability."

He then took out the instrument he had used during the previous exploration and carefully measured the values.

Ultimately...

He clutched his head in shock and exclaimed, "Holy crap! What did you do? Why is the concentration of your laughter factor more than ten times higher? How can your body handle such a high concentration of laughter factor?"

However, the school doctor's shock lasted no more than two seconds before he regained his composure. He stroked his chin with one hand, stared at Bai Shuodong for a while, and replied thoughtfully, "The essence of the Laughter Factor is actually a special emotional power. This power is invisible and intangible, and ordinary people cannot observe it at all, but it will continue to be produced in everyone."

"Everyone?"

"Yes, everyone produces laughter factors when they are excited and crazy, but since this power does not have a corresponding carrier, the laughter factors they produce will naturally dissipate, and they will become like nothing happened."

So...

The school doctor tapped the table, looked at Bai Shuodong with a serious expression, and continued, "The increase in the Laughter Factor cannot theoretically be caused by the elements of the Blood Demon Armor, but rather by your own constitution's ability to gather the Laughter Factor from the surrounding area."

“Now, you may have been targeted by an Outer God who possesses the Laughter Factor, and your body has been marked, but you yourself are completely unaware of it.”

"When you were choosing a career, were there any careers that featured 'maniacal laughter,' like...?"

"The Laughing Apostle?"

"Yes."

Bai Shuodong nodded slowly, but besides the Apostle of Laughter, he also had a legendary Laughter profession... Source of Laughter. Why would a legendary Source of Laughter suddenly appear?

It's so hard to guess...

If I really choose the Source of Laughter, will I become an Outer God? Will it spread and produce Apostles? No way? No way?

“Although your physique is special, there is still a limit to the ever-increasing laughter factor. I can help you seal the laughter factor in your body,” the school doctor said earnestly, looking at him.

"I am a forbidden traveler."

Bai Shuodong said.

"..."

The school doctor stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed. The laugh was one of relief, but also of helplessness.

He continued, "Speechless. No wonder he was chosen as a Taboo Walker. The reputation of the Taboo Walkers is truly impeccable."

It doesn't feel like a legitimate reputation.

Bai Shuodong had nothing to say.

Anyway, with [Adaptive Evolution], it's a good thing that the Laughter Factor continues to strengthen, and subsequent attribute growth is possible.

"Oh, by the way, the problem with the Blood Demon Armor is actually quite simple to solve."

"This thing originally possessed spirituality, and it belongs to the kind of growth-type cursed equipment with the instinct to protect its owner. Among cursed equipment, it is actually considered mild. If it were any other highly offensive one, you would have died eight hundred times over."

"From now on, if you see a black light, run immediately. Don't hesitate at all. If you can escape, you're lucky. If you do, you might die with some dignity."

"Otherwise..."

The school doctor didn't finish his sentence, but the expression on his face said it all. If he were to be entangled by some special cursed equipment, he might as well be dead rather than alive.

For example, cursed equipment such as "Corrupt Will" or "Corrupt Spirit" can corrode the user's spirit beyond recognition, eventually turning them into something neither human nor ghost, burning themselves out in madness, and possibly even destroying the things and people they once cherished most in endless pain.

"I know."

Bai Shuodong nodded slowly and replied confidently, "I couldn't run away at the time, and I didn't have anything to save my life."

"...Go ask Old Bi for it; becoming a legendary psychic comes with standard equipment."

"As for this thing, you just need to try to establish a deeper connection with it through spiritual communication. If possible, it would be safer to trick it into signing a contract."

"The Blood Demon Armor is of low quality right now, and its spirituality is not fully awakened. It only has some very limited instincts. It is easiest to deceive it at this time, but it may act up a little when you come into contact with it later."

"But it's not a big problem, as long as the terms are clearly written. I have a draft contract here for you. Just copy it word for word."

The school doctor took out a stack of papers that was a meter high from the storage space, with an extremely bright smile on his face.

"These...these are all contracts?"

Bai Shuodong's eyes widened in surprise. What kind of contracts could be piled up like this?

"Comprehensive."

"Ok."

"Get lost, you brat! I'm going to the spirit world too, and I won't be back for a while. You probably won't see me for a bit," the school doctor said with a smile and a wave.

"Uh-huh."

...

Half a day later

Private training room

"Blood Demon Armor, Blood Demon Armor, are you hungry and want to absorb life force? Come on, sign this, and I'll let you draw a prize..."

"No, I didn't agree to you drawing it directly? Aren't you being a bit unsportsmanlike?"

"Gan!"

Bai Shuodong cursed under his breath, feeling his body gradually weakening. He was still thinking about how to lure the Blood Demon Armor, since kidnapping by drawing blood was probably not going to work.

The next moment, after absorbing all the life force, the Blood Demon Armor actually extended its tentacles to contact the contract.

[Note: Contract has been agreed upon]

[The contract terms are as follows: First, Party B shall not actively harm Party A in any form.... (2000 million words omitted below)]

"Hey Hey!"

Bai Shuodong instantly revealed a wicked smile. It stroked the Blood Demon Armor and said, "Oh, my little darling, you signed it, you finally signed it! From now on, you can't take my blood on your own initiative anymore!"

Blood Demon Armor: ?°?°?-

"Do you know how annoying it is to have your blood drawn every hour? I can't sleep well at night. Because of you drawing my life force lately, I've been having insomnia every night. Every time I'm about to fall asleep, you wake me up. Do you know how mean you are?!"

"From today onwards, your blood draws are entirely under my control! Hahaha! That's awesome!"

Blood Demon Armor: ('o?o`)

"I command you now, immediately! Drain my life force down to 100, and then drain as much as it recovers!"

Blood Demon Armor: "?"

"You can eat whatever you want, and even if you can't, you have to give it to me! You're under my control now! Understand?"

...

Half an hour later

Bai Shuodong arrived at the school cafeteria and ate the food with gusto. The energy from the food entered his body and was then transformed into his life force, filling him with vitality.

However, his life force recovery was much slower than before.

Looking at the food in front of him, he muttered to himself with a serious expression, "This is bad. The blood draw was too fast, causing the food to not be digested quickly enough. Only when the food is digested can it truly be transformed into my energy and my vitality. It seems I am still too weak."

Quietly, his life points slowly increased to 101.

Bai Shuodong tilted his head in confusion, then looked at the Blood Demon Armor again; it seemed the armor couldn't absorb anything anymore.

Trash!
