Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

【Abyss Series: Bloodthirsty Feast (1/3)】

[Grade: Tier 1]

[Quality: Legendary]

[Effect: When a bleeding wound appears within a kilometer, the 'Feast' effect is triggered. For each wounded person, the self-healing ability of the core owner and their summoned creatures is increased by 15%, which can be stacked infinitely.]

[Introduction: It is said that during the time of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, those who possessed the complete series were virtually immortal.]

"This seems to suit me better."

Cheng Zhuo sensed a strong interest.

A few days ago, when I was fighting that fourth-tier giant python BOSS in the Three Star Ruins, my dragon armor was scratched by its tail whip.

The attack power of a fourth-tier beast was enough to break through his defenses.

Even with its powerful defenses, the can't really compete with this level of difference.

In the future, their battles against opponents of higher levels may become the norm.

Their powerful self-healing ability is clearly a boon for close-combat enthusiasts like them.

No more hesitation.

Cheng Zhuo immediately held his breath and concentrated.

The power of origin extends outwards, gradually probing towards the core in the palm.

The moment the source energy touched the core surface, the blood-red veins that had been flowing gently within the card's patterns suddenly taut like leeches smelling fresh blood, instantly becoming solid blood lines that surged wildly and wrapped around the fine threads of source energy.

The force carried a hint of bloodlust, rushing towards Cheng Zhuo's source energy along the energy channels.

When the crimson mist reached its origin, it began to rapidly condense.

The outline of a miniature heart gradually became clear.

About fifteen minutes later.

Cheng Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes.

At his origin, there was now a first-order core that looked like a blood-red heart!

"It's done!"

"Congratulations on reaching the next rank, Master. You are hereby awarded one Legendary card."

Accompanied by the system's congratulations.

Cheng Zhuo immediately felt his blood and qi surging like boiling water, and his physical strength increased significantly.

He immediately glanced at the attribute changes.

The core upgrade to level 50.0 biological body strength has already been reflected in the four-dimensional attributes.

In addition to the improvements brought by the core.

The "Dragon Force" effect of the mythical breathing technique also provides an additional 60 points to the Strength attribute.

The Strength, Agility, and Constitution attributes of the "Dragon Form" have been increased from "50+ base attributes" to "150+ base attributes".

The source energy state within the origin has nearly tripled.

Under ideal conditions, he can maintain the "dragon form" for nearly four hours!

Of course, when hunting, every punch must be imbued with source energy, which will shorten the duration considerably.

At this point, his attribute column has changed to:

【Strength: 266】

[Agility: 195]

【Spirit: 259】

[Physical Fitness: 197]

Luck: 39

[Biosome Strength Rating: 223.3]

"It's become significantly stronger than after its second awakening, comparable to its normal second-tier level!"

Cheng Zhuo put the panel away with satisfaction.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the jar next to him—

The little guy wobbled toward him, his amber eyes half-closed, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

With a thought, Cheng Zhuo immediately summoned it back to the summoning space within his origin.

As soon as we went inside, the little guy curled up into a ball of fur and fell fast asleep.

A faint bluish-black halo seeped out from the gaps in its fur around its body, rising and falling with its round belly.

Clearly, as he advanced to the next level, the jar was also undergoing some kind of transformation.

Seeing that the jar wouldn't wake up anytime soon, Cheng Zhuo simply turned his attention to the legendary card gifted by the system:

【King Series Card - Superpower Card (2/5)】

[Quality: Legendary Orange]

[Effect: After fusion, you will gain the supernatural power 'King's Judgment'. The chosen target of the judgment will taunt all units within a one-square-kilometer radius, causing them to swarm and attack the target! Note: The judgment effect is ineffective against units whose mental strength exceeds five times that of the host.]

[Usage Restrictions: Fusion type, cannot be stripped, CD: 24h]

[Description: This is a Superpower Card from the King series. Try to collect all the cards in the series, and you will become the true King]

interesting.

Cheng Zhuo seemed to see his enemy suddenly being attacked by his teammates in an absurd scene.

With his current mental strength, it's almost impossible for anyone within the fourth rank to surpass him by five times.

After briefly reviewing the changes after entering the advanced level.

Cheng Zhuo felt...

If we disregard the cheat codes like Peach Blossom and the King series cards, he can already crush most Tier 3 hunters or beasts.

If he can quickly master the Hunyuan Jin and Liangyi Tanxu Bu.

It should be quite easy for the fourth level as well.

He felt the power of these two ancient martial arts techniques while hunting; their movement and force application techniques greatly changed his offensive capabilities.

……

The next day.

Cheng Zhuo led the three women on a stroll through the inner city.

With his current net worth of one billion dollars, he was bound to go on a shopping spree.

In addition to strategic and daily necessities for farming, he also purchased several supersonic hover motorcycles powered by Source Engines for use in situations where he needed to travel through wilderness areas.

To cover up the truth.

Cheng Zhuo specifically rented a secluded warehouse and had the merchant deliver directly to it.

The idea of ​​building a house had been lingering in Cheng Zhuo's mind. After purchasing the supplies, he considered that he would have to grind for a few days in the Three Star Ruins before heading to the Nanling Ruins to wait for Huangfu Bai to set off together.

He decided to resolve the matter directly.

Otherwise, in the Samsung Ruins, I would have to stay cooped up in the RV for a few more days.

Cheng Zhuo did some research online.

Given his current situation, he could buy a batch of intelligent construction robots to carry out the construction.

The problem is that this type of robot is difficult for individuals to purchase due to a lack of distribution channels.

Not wanting to provoke the city-state's high-ranking officials, Cheng Zhuo glanced at the contacts on his watch and dialed someone he thought he would never have anything to do with again—

Zhao Shichang.

After much thought, it seems that he is the only person in the inner city who can be considered to have connections.

After a few rings, Zhao Shichang's slightly surprised voice came:

"Hey, Cheng Da Hongren, what made you suddenly contact me? I thought I was seeing things."

Cheng Zhuo casually exchanged a few pleasantries:

"Young Master Zhao, how have you been lately?"

"Ugh, don't even mention it, it's such a damn bad luck." Zhao Shichang's voice was full of frustration as he grumbled.

"I don't know what the hell, but those troublemaking Shadow Society members outside the city are actually tracking me down!"

Cheng Zhuo was slightly taken aback: "The Shadow Society? How did you get involved with those people?"

Zhao Shichang spat, "I want to know too! The Hunting Ruins Army has gone mad, summoning me for questioning every few days, saying I might be related to some damn fox they lost. Bah, I've never even heard of it..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhuo was somewhat taken aback.

He suddenly realized.

The day Huangfu Bai stole the Boundary Stone and Peach Blossom, the mimicry armor he gave Zhao Shichang did indeed look very similar to Zhao Shichang's transformed form.

Moreover, if I remember correctly, Huangfu Bai modified that hoverbike...

It seems to be a product of Thunder Technology as well.

Cheng Zhuo: "..."

Zhao Shichang, filled with resentment, suddenly changed the subject:

"By the way, what did you want to see me about?"

After hesitating for a while, Cheng Zhuo finally revealed his desire to buy intelligent robots to build houses.

As for making Zhao Shichang take the blame...

If all else fails, transfer more money when you buy the equipment.

"You're planning to build some high-end villas in Hongshi Town, right? No problem, wherever you want to buy, I'll send someone to deliver them to you," Zhao Shichang said readily.
